paragraph_n i_o make_v a_o few_o remark_n 1._o if_o he_o mean_v that_o we_o can_v so_o submit_v to_o law_n inconsistent_a with_o presbytery_n as_o to_o give_v active_a obedience_n to_o they_o or_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v what_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o it_o he_o make_v a_o right_a conjecture_n but_o it_o import_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o we_o act_n by_o a_o principle_n and_o be_v not_o so_o unconscientious_a as_o to_o do_v what_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o sentiment_n if_o other_o man_n glory_v either_o in_o their_o have_a no_o principle_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o church_n government_n or_o that_o they_o can_v yield_v over_o the_o belly_n of_o conscience_n to_o promote_v their_o interest_n or_o to_o gain_v the_o favour_n of_o man_n we_o think_v such_o glory_v be_v not_o good_a but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o we_o can_v so_o submit_v to_o law_n contrary_a to_o presbytery_n as_o to_o live_v quiet_o under_o they_o to_o suffer_v patient_o by_o they_o when_o we_o can_v obey_v they_o it_o be_v a_o manifest_a slander_n for_o we_o give_v sufficient_a proof_n of_o that_o under_o the_o late_a reign_n and_o if_o any_o be_v unquiet_a under_o their_o suffering_n the_o rest_n who_o be_v the_o far_o great_a part_n be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v 2._o our_o author_n and_o his_o party_n have_v very_o generous_a conscience_n which_o it_o seem_v be_v influence_v by_o no_o other_o law_n but_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n opinion_n that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o monarchy_n and_o the_o kingdom_n man_n of_o such_o principle_n can_v easy_o save_v their_o interest_n what_o ever_o side_n be_v uppermost_a 3._o see_v they_o pretend_v to_o so_o supple_a conscience_n i_o fain_o will_v know_v why_o they_o do_v not_o comply_v with_o presbytery_n see_v now_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n have_v own_v and_o enact_v it_o as_o that_o which_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o monarchy_n and_o the_o kingdom_n here_o be_v a_o plain_a declaration_n that_o those_o man_n can_v have_v no_o plea_n for_o a_o toleration_n to_o be_v grant_v they_o or_o any_o exemption_n from_o the_o government_n now_o by_o law_n establish_v for_o their_o conscience_n can_v be_v straighten_a in_o this_o matter_n and_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o imaginable_a reason_n for_o a_o toleration_n but_o either_o humour_n or_o a_o design_n to_o carry_v on_o a_o interest_n contrary_a to_o the_o present_a establishment_n which_o i_o hope_v our_o ruler_n will_v consider_v 4_o lie_n he_o argue_v with_o his_o highness_n from_o the_o aversion_n that_o england_n must_v have_v to_o unite_v with_o scotland_n if_o presbytery_n be_v set_v up_o there_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v two_o thing_n 1_o st_o if_o the_o interest_n of_o religion_n have_v more_o weight_n with_o we_o than_o that_o of_o the_o state_n as_o sure_o it_o will_v when_o that_o promise_n be_v fulfil_v that_o the_o mountain_n of_o the_o lord_n house_n shall_v be_v set_v on_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n this_o reason_n will_v be_v of_o no_o force_n it_o be_v better_a that_o england_n and_o scotland_n be_v two_o different_a nation_n yet_o live_v as_o sister_n in_o concord_n than_o that_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v thwart_v that_o they_o be_v make_v one_o 2_o dly_z it_o may_v be_v think_v strange_a that_o england_n shall_v refuse_v to_o unite_v with_o scotland_n in_o their_o civil_a concernment_n because_o scotland_n can_v yield_v to_o they_o in_o that_o which_o concern_v god_n and_o their_o conscience_n may_v not_o two_o nation_n trade_v together_o and_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o same_o law_n and_o yet_o bear_v with_o one_o another_o as_o to_o their_o church_n way_n but_o he_o enforce_v this_o his_o argument_n by_o two_o consideration_n one_o be_v episcopacy_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o best_a bulwark_n against_o popery_n i_o know_v this_o be_v the_o fancy_n of_o some_o who_o be_v bigoted_a to_o that_o way_n but_o on_o what_o ground_n or_o who_o acknowledge_v this_o beside_o themselves_o i_o know_v not_o the_o other_o be_v scotland_n be_v swear_v by_o the_o covenant_n to_o extirpate_v episcopacy_n in_o england_n answ_n the_o covenant_n oblige_v to_o no_o such_o thing_n unless_o england_n call_v they_o to_o their_o assistance_n the_o covenant_n set_v limit_n to_o man_n act_n by_o their_o station_n if_o scotland_n shall_v meddle_v with_o england_n church_n government_n without_o their_o call_n they_o shall_v act_n beyond_o their_o station_n §_o 6._o he_o next_o p._n 8._o give_v a_o testimony_n to_o the_o moderation_n of_o some_o presbyterian_o which_o some_o of_o his_o party_n will_v not_o own_o and_o the_o strain_n in_o the_o whole_a of_o his_o discourse_n seem_v to_o contradict_v he_o be_v willing_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o indulgence_n but_o that_o they_o have_v prepare_v a_o address_n for_o the_o extinction_n of_o prelacy_n this_o we_o own_o but_o his_o inference_n be_v strange_a viz._n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v subject_a to_o no_o law_n and_o the_o covenant_n though_o illegal_a and_o irreligious_a must_v be_v their_o rule_n this_o be_v strange_a logic_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o champion_n of_o that_o party_n which_o pretend_v to_o have_v monopolise_v learning_n to_o itself_o if_o prelacy_n be_v extirpate_v by_o a_o law_n and_o presbytery_n be_v by_o law_n establish_v as_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n now_o it_o be_v can_v presbyterian_o be_v subject_a to_o that_o law_n and_o i_o have_v already_o show_v how_o we_o can_v be_v subject_a even_o to_o other_o law_n it_o be_v also_o a_o unaccountable_a inference_n that_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o most_o wicked_o reproach_v must_v be_v the_o rule_n if_o presbytery_n be_v settle_v he_o may_v know_v that_o presbyterian_o have_v no_o other_o rule_n in_o their_o church_n administration_n than_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o covenant_n can_v be_v make_v appear_v contrary_a to_o that_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o disow_v it_o for_o what_o he_o say_v of_o our_o address_n it_o shall_v be_v after_o consider_v the_o last_o thing_n that_o he_o represent_v to_o the_o prince_n be_v that_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o episcopal_a man_n in_o scotland_n and_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v but_o small_a they_o have_v neither_o liturgy_n nor_o ceremony_n more_o than_o the_o presbyterian_o have_v we_o be_v not_o for_o widen_v the_o difference_n but_o will_v bring_v it_o to_o as_o narrow_a a_o compass_n as_o may_v be_v yet_o we_o must_v not_o tell_v untruth_n as_o this_o author_n do_v to_o deceive_v they_o who_o know_v not_o our_o affair_n by_o represent_v agreement_n where_o real_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o and_o they_o be_v irreconcilable_a without_o the_o yield_n of_o one_o party_n while_o they_o be_v for_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o one_o minister_n over_o the_o rest_n and_o we_o be_v for_o a_o parity_n among_o they_o he_o say_v their_o bishop_n be_v in_o the_o place_n of_o our_o moderator_n who_o we_o have_v sometime_o confess_v may_v be_v constant_a ans_fw-fr this_o we_o can_v yield_v our_o moderator_n have_v no_o jurisdiction_n yea_o no_o vote_n unless_o where_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n the_o bishop_n have_v a_o negative_a vote_n for_o our_o moderator_n be_v constant_a it_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o practice_n yea_o our_o opinion_n be_v that_o whatever_o lawfulness_n be_v in_o it_o it_o be_v so_o high_o inexpedient_a that_o we_o can_v never_o yield_v to_o it_o he_o say_v the_o presbyter_n have_v a_o free_a vote_n in_o the_o bishop_n election_n nothing_o can_v be_v more_o false_a be_v not_o the_o bishop_n name_v by_o the_o king_n and_o be_v it_o ever_o allow_v that_o the_o person_n who_o the_o king_n have_v name_v shall_v be_v pass_v by_o and_o another_o choose_v where_o be_v then_o the_o freedom_n of_o vote_n he_o say_v the_o bishop_n govern_v only_o by_o presbytery_n and_o synod_n the_o contrary_n be_v know_v to_o every_o one_o the_o bishop_n take_v their_o counsel_n when_o he_o please_v not_o else_o the_o ground_n for_o complaint_n and_o separation_n from_o they_o such_o as_o we_o make_v i_o have_v above_o discourse_v §_o 7._o he_o bring_v as_o a_o foundation_n of_o most_o of_o his_o discourse_n against_o we_o a_o paper_n that_o he_o call_v the_o presbyterian_o address_v from_o scotland_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n on_o most_o passage_n of_o it_o he_o have_v some_o quibble_v observe_v more_o like_o a_o bouffoon_n than_o a_o disputant_n if_o the_o paper_n be_v we_o i_o shall_v not_o think_v his_o repartee_n worthy_a of_o a_o answer_n they_o be_v so_o pure_o either_o trifle_a or_o rail_v but_o the_o best_a of_o it_o be_v he_o have_v pick_v up_o a_o paper_n to_o
