before_o mention_v and_o first_o as_o to_o number_n of_o person_n in_o a_o riot_n if_o the_o fact_n be_v such_o as_o the_o law_n account_v riotous_a any_o number_n of_o person_n above_o two_o be_v sufficient_a to_o commit_v a_o riot_n but_o in_o those_o meeting_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v forbid_v by_o the_o conventicle-act_n it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a even_o by_o that_o act_n for_o four_o person_n beside_o the_o family_n how_o numerous_a soever_o that_o be_v to_o assemble_v together_o so_o that_o even_o in_o point_n of_o number_n there_o be_v a_o material_a difference_n between_o riot_n and_o religious_a meeting_n which_o show_v the_o parliament_n that_o give_v liberty_n to_o four_o person_n beside_o the_o family_n to_o meet_v do_v not_o understand_v those_o meeting_n to_o be_v riot_n the_o conventicle-act_n do_v not_o permit_v riot_n but_o the_o conventicle-act_n do_v permit_v religious_a meeting_n to_o such_o number_n as_o if_o those_o meeting_n be_v of_o a_o riotous_a nature_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o riot_n therefore_o such_o meeting_n be_v not_o riot_n 2._o in_o a_o riot_n there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v some_o overt_a act_n some_o deed_n do_v some_o fact_n commit_v by_o the_o person_n assemble_v which_o may_v come_v under_o the_o cognizance_n of_o outward_a evidence_n more_o than_o their_o bare_a assemble_v together_o else_o it_o can_v be_v a_o riot_n but_o as_o in_o none_o of_o our_o meeting_n there_o be_v any_o riotous_a act_n so_o in_o such_o of_o our_o meeting_n as_o be_v whole_o silent_a there_o be_v no_o overt_a act_n at_o all_o no_o deed_n do_v no_o fact_n commit_v by_o any_o of_o the_o person_n assemble_v which_o may_v come_v under_o the_o cognizance_n of_o outward_a evidence_n more_o than_o their_o bare_a assemble_v therefore_o such_o meeting_n can_v be_v riot_n 3._o in_o riot_n the_o fact_n do_v must_v be_v not_o only_o unlawful_a but_o injurious_a or_o hurtful_a to_o another_o either_o in_o person_n or_o estate_n but_o our_o meeting_n if_o at_o all_o unlawful_a be_v no_o way_n injurious_a or_o hurtful_a to_o any_o either_o in_o person_n or_o estate_n therefore_o our_o meeting_n be_v not_o riot_n 4._o that_o act_n which_o make_v a_o riot_n must_v be_v do_v vi_fw-la armata_fw-la with_o force_n and_o arm_n or_o in_o a_o forcible_a manner_n but_o our_o meeting_n be_v not_o hold_v

make_v a_o riot_n there_o must_v be_v a_o previous_a intent_n in_o the_o person_n assemble_v to_o do_v some_o such_o unlawful_a act_n as_o be_v evil_n in_o itself_o and_o hurtful_a to_o other_o and_o that_o with_o force_n but_o in_o our_o meeting_n we_o have_v no_o previous_a intent_n to_o do_v any_o such_o unlawful_a act_n as_o be_v evil_n in_o itself_o and_o hurtful_a to_o other_o nor_o have_v we_o any_o other_o intent_n at_o all_o than_o sincere_o and_o real_o to_o serve_v and_o worship_n god_n and_o that_o without_o force_n or_o violence_n therefore_o our_o meeting_n be_v not_o riot_n 6._o it_o be_v not_o a_o riot_n unless_o the_o peace_n be_v break_v or_o disturb_v by_o the_o person_n assemble_v either_o by_o threaten_a speech_n show_v of_o armour_n turbulent_a gesture_n or_o open_a violence_n but_o in_o our_o meeting_n the_o peace_n be_v never_o break_v nor_o distrube_v by_o we_o we_o give_v no_o threaten_a speech_n we_o show_v no_o armour_n nor_o have_v any_o to_o show_v we_o use_v no_o turbulent_a gesture_n nor_o do_v we_o offer_v violence_n to_o any_o therefore_o our_o meeting_n be_v not_o riot_n 7._o it_o be_v not_o a_o riot_n except_o it_o be_v do_v with_o

the_o one_o hand_n with_o respect_n to_o riot_n the_o many_o quotation_n in_o the_o foregoing_a discourse_n will_v show_v how_o true_a a_o account_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n i_o have_v give_v of_o
