corruption_n be_v to_o this_o day_n by_o some_o person_n with_o so_o much_o heat_n and_o vehemence_n assert_v and_o defend_v though_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o public_a authority_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o abolish_n these_o privilege_n be_v in_o the_o year_n 1649_o and_o several_a year_n thereafter_o very_o cordial_o acquiesce_v unto_o by_o the_o most_o of_o those_o who_o have_v the_o large_a share_n of_o they_o i_o shall_v therefore_o in_o the_o next_o place_n according_a to_o the_o method_n propose_v with_o all_o the_o plainness_n and_o brevity_n i_o can_v enquite_n into_o and_o examine_v the_o ground_n which_o be_v or_o may_v be_v adduce_v for_o a_o foundation_n to_o the_o right_n of_o patronage_n which_o will_v yet_o far_o discover_v the_o injustice_n and_o unwarrantable_a burdensomness_n of_o this_o privilege_n v._o i_o hope_v i_o need_v not_o advertise_v the_o reader_n that_o it_o be_v not_o my_o design_n to_o fix_v the_o guilt_n of_o all_o the_o abuse_n with_o which_o i_o charge_v this_o pretend_a privilege_n upon_o all_o the_o patron_n in_o the_o nation_n i_o know_v many_o of_o they_o be_v and_o have_v be_v very_o pious_a and_o worthy_a person_n and_o have_v be_v honour_v even_o in_o that_o capacity_n to_o do_v the_o church_n very_o good_a service_n by_o look_v out_o of_o honest_a and_o faithful_a minister_n in_o some_o time_n of_o defection_n but_o after_o all_o i_o must_v in_o this_o distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o intentio_fw-la rei_fw-la and_o the_o intentio_fw-la personae_fw-la or_o betwixt_o the_o tendency_n of_o the_o institution_n itself_o and_o the_o honesty_n of_o some_o man_n that_o have_v manage_v the_o same_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o justice_n and_o reason_n and_o not_o man_n intention_n that_o specify_v their_o action_n to_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a as_o be_v very_o evident_a to_o instance_n no_o far_o in_o the_o case_n of_o aaron_n golden_a calf_n and_o jeroboam_n calf_n at_o dan_n and_o bethel_n which_o they_o intend_v for_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n 11.15_o exod._n 32.45_o rom._n 1.23_o 24_o 25._o 1_o cor._n 10.7_o act_n 7.41_o 1_o king_n 12.28_o 2_o chron._n 11.15_o and_o yet_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o devil_n which_o clear_o overthrow_v all_o the_o jesuitick_a quibble_n about_o a_o right_a intention_n and_o i_o must_v also_o say_v that_o all_o the_o good_a that_o ever_o the_o church_n have_v or_o can_v have_v by_o the_o right_n of_o patronage_n can_v never_o countervail_v the_o trouble_n and_o damage_v it_o have_v occasion_v sect_n iv_o the_o ground_n and_o argument_n for_o patronage_n from_o a_o reservation_n by_o the_o first_o founder_n examine_v i._o the_o first_o and_o main_a if_o not_o the_o only_a ground_n that_o with_o any_o colour_n of_o reason_n can_v be_v urge_v for_o a_o foundation_n to_o the_o right_n of_o patronage_n be_v this_o that_o it_o seem_v most_o undutiful_a and_o unreasonable_a to_o deny_v that_o privilege_n to_o such_o as_o have_v deserve_v so_o well_o of_o the_o church_n by_o build_v of_o kirk_n and_o bestow_v of_o a_o constant_a maintenance_n on_o such_o as_o shall_v serve_v the_o cure_n thereat_o and_o which_o privilege_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o grant_n they_o express_o reserve_v to_o themselves_o and_o their_o heir_n after_o they_o &_o whereof_o they_o according_o have_v be_v so_o long_o in_o possession_n and_o that_o if_o this_o privilege_n be_v deny_v it_o will_v prove_v a_o great_a discouragement_n for_o any_o to_o gratify_v the_o church_n with_o such_o favour_n for_o the_o future_a ii_o this_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o main_a ground_n that_o can_v be_v urge_v in_o this_o matter_n i_o shall_v take_v the_o more_o pain_n distinct_o to_o discuss_v it_o for_o answer_v then_o to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o pretence_n from_o the_o reservation_n of_o patronage_n by_o the_o first_o founder_n and_o doter_n of_o kirk_n and_o benefice_n these_o thing_n may_v be_v consider_v iii_o first_o that_o if_o the_o patron_n will_v needs_o stand_v upon_o this_o pretence_n of_o a_o reservation_n may_v we_o not_o on_o much_o better_a ground_n retort_n that_o the_o patron_n have_v forfeit_v their_o right_n if_o they_o have_v any_o by_o their_o not_o perform_v these_o condition_n on_o which_o only_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v the_o canonist_n the_o pope_n and_o other_o bishop_n grant_v and_o the_o patron_n accept_v the_o right_n of_o patronage_n viz_o that_o the_o patron_n shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o uphold_v and_o repair_v the_o kirk_n when_o it_o be_v like_a to_o fall_v or_o prove_v ruinous_a 2._o that_o he_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o rebuild_v it_o if_o it_o be_v burn_v or_o shake_v down_o by_o a_o earthquake_n etc._n etc._n 3._o that_o he_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o defend_v the_o benefice_n from_o be_v dilapidat_fw-la or_o misapply_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v take_v care_n that_o on_o all_o occasion_n the_o pastor_n be_v furnish_v with_o a_o due_a maintenance_n and_o as_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v how_o unsutable_o the_o patron_n have_v act_v to_o all_o these_o obligation_n so_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o most_o if_o not_o the_o whole_a of_o this_o charge_n be_v by_o law_n lay_v upon_o the_o heretor_n and_o people_n of_o the_o respective_a paroch_n iu._n next_o i_o shall_v but_o mention_v what_o i_o have_v former_o mark_v of_o the_o patron_n forfeitur_fw-la of_o their_o right_n by_o the_o sale_n of_o their_o patronage_n contrare_fw-la to_o the_o prohibition_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n and_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n itself_o v._o the_o patron_n must_v not_o take_v it_o ill_o to_o be_v tell_v that_o the_o pretence_n of_o a_o reservation_n unless_o it_o be_v produce_v be_v but_o gratis_o dictum_fw-la and_o can_v never_o be_v sustain_v as_o be_v against_o the_o general_a presumption_n of_o liberty_n whereas_o all_o servitud_n such_o as_o patronage_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v be_v never_o presume_v but_o most_o be_v positive_o and_o evident_o instruct_v and_o therefore_o let_v they_o pretend_v what_o they_o will._n i_o must_v make_v bold_a to_o ask_v they_o quomodo_fw-la constat_fw-la that_o ever_o such_o a_o reservation_n be_v make_v if_o they_o can_v produce_v somewhat_o else_o beside_o their_o own_o assertion_n we_o must_v tell_v they_o that_o de_fw-fr non_fw-fr existentibus_fw-la &_o de_fw-fr non_fw-la apparentibus_fw-la idem_fw-la est_fw-la judicium_fw-la a_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o at_o all_o and_o a_o thing_n that_o appear_v not_o by_o evident_a proof_n be_v in_o the_o same_o case_n and_o there_o be_v no_o right_a or_o claim_n can_v be_v found_v or_o sustain_v upon_o either_o of_o they_o vi_o four_o it_o be_v very_o improbable_a that_o at_o a_o time_n in_o which_o ignorance_n do_v so_o much_o abound_v &_o that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o all_o transaction_n and_o conveyance_n even_o of_o the_o most_o important_a right_n be_v perform_v without_o the_o interpose_v of_o any_o act_n or_o deed_n in_o write_v use_n and_o wont_a and_o a_o sort_n of_o moral_a honesty_n be_v the_o best_a security_n any_o man_n have_v i_o say_v it_o be_v very_o improbable_a that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n the_o building_n and_o dote_v of_o kirk_n be_v manage_v in_o so_o good_a form_n as_o to_o have_v any_o write_a act_n or_o instrument_n either_o for_o the_o building_n or_o the_o dote_a or_o for_o the_o reservation_n of_o the_o right_n of_o patronage_n upon_o that_o account_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v high_o improbable_a that_o ever_o such_o reservation_n can_v be_v instruct_v or_o produce_v and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o in_o these_o time_n when_o kirk_n be_v first_o build_v and_o benefice_n settle_v the_o ignorance_n or_o if_o you_o will_v the_o simplicity_n both_o of_o this_o and_o many_o other_o nation_n be_v such_o as_o we_o have_v describe_v and_o in_o some_o place_n continue_v so_o

zetland_n where_o the_o vdal_a right_n as_o they_o term_v they_o be_v in_o use_n and_o where_o civility_n learn_v and_o good_a policy_n have_v not_o yet_o so_o far_o prevail_v as_o to_o wear_v out_o that_o old_a custom_n albeit_o it_o be_v wear_v out_o of_o most_o of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o land._n vii_o five_o as_o we_o have_v former_o observe_v the_o right_a of_o patronage_n at_o first_o be_v rather_o a_o aftergame_n that_o creep_v in_o clandestin_o and_o by_o stealth_n upon_o the_o church_n than_o the_o effect_n of_o any_o positive_a institution_n or_o of_o any_o express_a
