hatred_n and_o rage_n in_o they_o against_o the_o poor_a dissenter_n who_o be_v already_o under_o suffering_n in_o this_o city_n and_o many_o part_n of_o england_n and_o hereby_o he_o have_v plain_o

put_v the_o protestant_a clergy_n upon_o persecute_v the_o dissenter_n and_o it_o be_v hereby_o evident_a rather_o than_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o empty_a space_n in_o persecution_n what_o be_v want_v by_o the_o old_a adversary_n he_o will_v set_v his_o help_a hand_n to_o supply_v by_o do_v far_o mischief_n in_o stir_v up_o the_o clergy_n against_o the_o poor_a dissenter_n and_o so_o much_o more_o divide_v those_o that_o shall_v be_v in_o great_a unity_n because_o they_o be_v agree_v in_o the_o high_a thing_n of_o christianity_n and_o all_o in_o the_o same_o danger_n of_o the_o old_a enemy_n of_o protestant_n viz._n rome_n and_o thus_o the_o pamphleteer_n be_v guilty_a of_o those_o evil_n mention_v in_o prov._n 6.16_o these_o six_o thing_n the_o lord_n hate_v yea_o seven_o be_v

that_o he_o swift_a run_v to_o mischief_n a_o false_a witness_n that_o speak_v lie_n and_o he_o that_o sow_v discord_n among_o brethren_n four_o consider_v whether_o the_o pamphleteer_n have_v any_o just_a cause_n to_o write_v and_o print_v thus_o of_o the_o dissenter_n in_o general_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v take_v a_o brief_a notice_n of_o his_o particular_n first_o concern_v archbishop_n and_o bishop_n though_o the_o dissenter_n can_v account_v they_o to_o be_v such_o bishop_n as_o be_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n because_o they_o can_v find_v any_o mention_n of_o archbishop_n or_o lord_n bishop_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n yet_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o please_v the_o king_n and_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n the_o dissenter_n be_v very_o well_o content_v to_o live_v under_o such_o government_n in_o all_o peaceable_a manner_n and_o give_v that_o reverence_n and_o respect_n to_o they_o as_o become_v christianity_n and_o humanity_n and_o then_o i_o think_v the_o bishop_n have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v of_o the_o dissenter_n as_o be_v any_o abuser_n of_o they_o and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o if_o the_o kingdom_n have_v not_o they_o there_o may_v be_v worse_o in_o their_o room_n second_o concern_v the_o english_a clergy_n and_o their_o maintenance_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o dissenter_n in_o city_n and_o country_n have_v a_o venerable_a esteem_n of_o such_o as_o be_v know_v to_o be_v man_n of_o good_a learning_n good_a natural_a part_n good_a preacher_n and_o especial_o man_n of_o spiritual_a goodness_n viz._n man_n of_o godly_a conversation_n as_o for_o their_o maintenance_n both_o in_o city_n and_o country_n it_o be_v cheerful_o pay_v not_o as_o a_o act_n of_o force_n but_o as_o their_o right_n by_o law_n as_o other_o thing_n be_v the_o right_n of_o other_o man_n by_o the_o same_o law_n and_o it_o be_v but_o a_o few_o dissenter_n that_o must_v be_v except_v in_o this_o matter_n compare_v with_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o dissenter_n throughout_o the_o kingdom_n and_o they_o be_v deem_v by_o their_o friend_n to_o be_v more_o scrupulous_a than_o they_o need_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v and_o beside_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o those_o parish_n minister_n who_o be_v oblige_v to_o their_o parishioner_n do_v not_o only_o receive_v their_o due_a by_o law_n from_o the_o dissenter_n but_o do_v also_o partake_v of_o their_o love_n four_o as_o concern_v the_o school_n of_o learning_n in_o both_o university_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o learning_n be_v high_o encourage_v and_o sobriety_n be_v well_o maintain_v in_o those_o time_n wherein_o such_o as_o be_v now_o dissenter_n be_v concern_v both_o as_o head_n and_o scholar_n in_o those_o noble_a school_n and_o the_o dissenter_n do_v now_o rejoice_v in_o the_o maintain_n of_o learning_n in_o both_o university_n and_o in_o other_o good_a school_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o yet_o dissenter_n have_v good_a cause_n to_o believe_v that_o though_o humane_a learning_n be_v a_o very_a good_a thing_n and_o although_o man_n may_v arrive_v to_o high_a degree_n in_o it_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v very_o ignorant_a of_o divine_a mystery_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o humane_a learning_n that_o nicodemus_n a_o ruler_n and_o master_n in_o israel_n do_v not_o understand_v the_o new_a and_o spiritual_a birth_n when_o he_o say_v how_o can_v a_o man_n be_v bear_v when_o he_o be_v old_a can_v he_o enter_v the_o second_o time_n into_o his_o mother_n womb_n and_o be_v bear_v again_o john_n 3.4_o neither_o be_v it_o for_o want_n of_o humane_a learning_n that_o the_o greek_n do_v count_v the_o preach_a of_o salvation_n by_o a_o crucify_a christ_n foolishness_n 1_o cor._n 1.23_o nor_o be_v it_o not_o for_o want_v of_o humane_a learning_n that_o the_o jesuit_n and_o other_o great_a scholar_n bring_v up_o in_o the_o popish_a school_n do_v not_o turn_v protestant_n and_o it_o be_v base_o do_v of_o the_o pamphleteer_n to_o reflect_v upon_o mr._n samuel_n how_o who_o have_v be_v in_o his_o grave_n a_o great_a number_n of_o year_n who_o though_o he_o be_v but_o a_o mean_a man_n in_o the_o world_n he_o deserve_v great_a honour_n as_o a_o man_n of_o good_a natural_a part_n and_o a_o able_a preacher_n of_o god_n word_n a_o gracious_a soul_n and_o a_o man_n of_o holy_a life_n and_o conversation_n 5thly_a concern_v the_o law_n for_o maintenance_n of_o the_o poor_a in_o the_o several_a parish_n of_o england_n of_o which_o the_o pamphleteer_n say_v the_o dissenter_n will_v fall_v have_v they_o down_o also_o this_o seem_v as_o if_o he_o will_v stir_v up_o a_o spirit_n of_o rage_n in_o the_o poor_a against_o the_o dissenter_n to_o fall_v about_o their_o ear_n as_o be_v the_o worst_a of_o the_o poor_n enemy_n but_o bless_v be_v god_n it_o be_v well_o know_v throughout_o this_o kingdom_n that_o the_o dissenter_n do_v most_o cheerful_o pay_v the_o parish_n tax_n for_o the_o supply_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o rejoice_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o provision_n make_v for_o they_o beside_o be_v charitable_a to_o they_o other_o way_n thus_o have_v i_o brief_o reply_v unto_o this_o part_n of_o the_o man_n forgery_n in_o charge_v the_o poor_a dissenter_n in_o general_a with_o thing_n of_o which_o they_o be_v not_o guilty_a but_o harken_v brethren_n here_o i●_n a_o very_a large_a empty_a space_n and_o see_v nature_n abhor_v a_o vacuity_n consider_v what_o provision_n the_o pamphleteer_n have_v make_v to_o fill_v up_o again_o in_o the_o room_n of_o those_o thing_n before_o rehearse_v first_o you_o shall_v in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o two_o archbishop_n viz._n canterbury_n and_z york_z have_v a_o tinker_n and_o a_o tailor_n man_n of_o great_a confidence_n and_o long_o stand_v two_o for_o the_o four_o great_a bishopric_n of_o london_n winchester_n eli_n and_o durham_n you_o shall_v

and_o all_o these_o thing_n he_o charge_v upon_o the_o dissenter_n page_n 13._o as_o their_o contrivance_n to_o make_v such_o a_o alteration_n in_o the_o government_n and_o now_o i_o will_v most_o

acquaintance_n with_o the_o dissentrs_n and_o their_o principle_n that_o the_o aforesaid_a charge_n be_v most_o notorious_o and_o abominable_o false_a for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v throughout_o the_o kingdom_n that_o such_o person_n as_o be_v before_o mention_v be_v not_o at_o all_o desirous_a of_o such_o thing_n it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o their_o know_a and_o profess_a

unto_o which_o i_o reply_v humble_o and_o modest_o thus_o 1._o what_o have_v this_o envious_a wretch_n a_o mind_n to_o expose_v the_o dissenter_n to_o the_o rage_n and_o fury_n of_o those_o that_o neither_o fear_n the_o law_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o good_a law_n of_o the_o realm_n that_o be_v for_o the_o restrain_v and_o punish_v of_o man_n for_o gross_a wickedness_n now_o this_o horrible_a abuse_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n as_o he_o call_v it_o be_v charge_v upon_o all_o those_o dissenter_n that_o hold_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n particular_a election_n of_o some_o of_o mankind_n to_o eternal_a salvation_n two_o what_o kindness_n have_v this_o pamphleteer_n show_v to_o or_o what_o service_n have_v he_o do_v for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n by_o his_o former_a desperate_a discourse_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o particular_a election_n be_v the_o principle_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o have_v be_v high_o maintain_v by_o the_o most_o famous_a minister_n against_o those_o of_o a_o contrary_a mind_n viz._n such_o as_o be_v call_v arminian_o and_o though_o some_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o some_o of_o the_o dissenter_n do_v oppose_v the_o aforesaid_a doctrine_n yet_o as_o they_o be_v man_n of_o good_a humanity_n they_o have_v more_o manner_n and_o as_o they_o be_v man_n of_o christianity_n they_o have_v more_o grace_n then_o to_o use_v such_o blasphemous_a expression_n and_o to_o draw_v such_o diabolical_a conclusion_n concern_v the_o professor_n of_o such_o election_n and_o the_o elect_v gracious_a god_n but_o no_o marvel_n that_o he_o who_o principle_n be_v that_o man_n may_v fall_v from_o true_a and_o save_a grace_n shall_v himself_o fall_v from_o seem_a grace_n three_o and_o now_o i_o will_v humble_o offer_v my_o opinion_n and_o faith_n concern_v election_n first_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n or_o before_o the_o world_n begin_v have_v elect_v some_o of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n unto_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o in_o due_a time_n have_v and_o do_v and_o will_v bless_v they_o with_o save_v

you_o to_o salvation_n through_o sanstification_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o belief_n of_o the_o truth_n two_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n in_o his_o gracious_a decree_n of_o this_o election_n have_v

sixthly_a i_o do_v however_o believe_v that_o though_o not_o any_o man_n can_v make_v himself_o so_o good_a as_o to_o be_v save_v by_o it_o yet_o most_o man_n may_v be_v abundant_o better_a than_o

john_n 5.3.5_o who_o though_o he_o be_v not_o able_a of_o himself_o to_o go_v in_o the_o pool_n he_o lay_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o cure_n but_o if_o man_n will_v follow_v wickedness_n with_o greediness_n they_o be_v in_o the_o ready_a way_n of_o damnation_n without_o any_o ground_n of_o hope_n for_o salvation_n seven_o i_o believe_v that_o salvation_n of_o sinner_n be_v found_v
