the_o brethren_n when_o they_o right_o understand_v thing_n will_v think_v that_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v see_v little_a fox_n spoil_v they_o and_o shall_v look_v on_o all_o the_o while_n as_o one_o no_o way_n concern_v as_o for_o those_o of_o the_o antip●●dobaptistical_n persuasion_n which_o differ_v from_o we_o only_o in_o that_o particular_a i_o will_v speak_v to_o they_o as_o unto_o brethren_n who_o their_o error_n for_o so_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v notwithstanding_o i_o love_v and_o will_v b●ar_v with_o and_o exercise_v the_o same_o indulgence_n and_o compassion_n towards_o they_o as_o i_o will_v have_v other_o do_v to_o i_o who_o feel_v myself_o compass_v with_o infirmity_n i_o have_v be_v a_o poor_a labourer_n in_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n in_o this_o place_n upward_o of_o twenty_o year_n and_o it_o be_v more_o than_o i_o know_v if_o in_o all_o that_o time_n any_o of_o those_o that_o scruple_n infant-baptisme_n have_v meet_v with_o molestation_n from_o the_o magistrate_n mere_o on_o the_o account_n of_o their_o opinion_n i_o will_v therefore_o entreat_v the_o brethren_n and_o other_o of_o their_o persuasion_n who_o may_v be_v of_o a_o christian_a and_o moderate_a spirit_n that_o have_v subscribe_v the_o epistle_n serious_o to_o consider_v 1._o that_o the_o place_n may_v sometime_o make_v a_o great_a alteration_n as_o to_o indulgence_n to_o be_v expect_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o that_o toleration_n be_v in_o one_o place_n not_o only_o lawful_a but_o a_o necessary_a duty_n which_o in_o another_o place_n will_v be_v destructive_a and_o the_o expectation_n of_o it_o irrational_a that_o which_o be_v needful_a to_o ballast_n a_o great_a ship_n will_v sink_v a_o small_a boat_n if_o a_o considerable_a number_n of_o antipaedobaptist_n shall_v as_o our_o father_n here_o do_v obtain_v liberty_n from_o the_o state_n to_o transport_v themselves_o and_o family_n into_o a_o waist_n american_n wilderness_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v a_o peculiar_a people_n by_o themselves_o practise_v all_o and_o only_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n if_o now_o pado-baptists_n shall_v come_v after_o they_o and_o intrude_v themselves_o upon_o they_o and_o when_o they_o cast_v man_n out_o of_o their_o society_n for_o moral_a scandal_n entertain_v they_o sure_o they_o will_v desire_v such_o person_n either_o to_o walk_v orderly_o with_o they_o or_o to_o return_v to_o the_o place_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v and_o if_o they_o will_v do_v neither_o they_o will_v think_v that_o such_o pado-baptists_n be_v blame-worthy_a let_v they_o th●n_o do_v as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v by_o and_o deal_v by_o we_o as_o they_o will_v have_v we_o to_o deal_v by_o they_o be_v they_o in_o our_o case_n and_o we_o in_o they_o 2._o let_v they_o please_v to_o consider_v that_o those_o of_o their_o persuasion_n in_o this_o place_n have_v act_v with_o so_o much_o irregularity_n and_o profaneness_n that_o shall_v man_n of_o any_o other_o persuasion_n whatsoever_o have_v do_v the_o like_a the_o same_o severity_n will_v have_v be_v use_v towards_o they_o i_o true_o profess_v unto_o they_o that_o if_o any_o man_n either_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a or_o congregational_a or_o never_o so_o much_o of_o my_o persuasion_n in_o matter_n refer_v to_o church-discipline_n shall_v behave_v themselves_o as_o the_o anabaptist_n in_o boston_n in_o new-england_n have_v do_v i_o think_v they_o will_v have_v deserve_v far_o great_a punishment_n than_o any_o thing_n that_o to_o this_o day_n have_v be_v inflict_v upon_o they_o whether_o the_o

to_o scripture_n rule_n the_o follow_a animadversion_n will_v discover_v unto_o those_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o weigh_v matter_n impartial_o in_o the_o balance_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n how_o vain_a be_v it_o for_o man_n after_o they_o have_v receive_v such_o excommunicate_n into_o their_o communion_n and_o then_o perceive_v that_o the_o world_n cry_v shame_n on_o they_o for_o it_o and_o some_o of_o their_o own_o persuasion_n reprove_v they_o in_o stead_n of_o abhor_v themselves_o before_o god_n and_o the_o world_n and_o purge_v out_o the_o old_a leven_fw-mi to_o think_v they_o shall_v come_v off_o with_o say_v it_o be_v a_o defect_n and_o who_o in_o this_o world_n be_v without_o their_o fail_n and_o then_o by_o retain_v such_o in_o their_o communion_n to_o persist_v in_o their_o scandal_n to_o this_o very_a day_n to_o parallel_v the_o case_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n in_o new-england_n with_o that_o of_o the_o nonconformisis_n in_o england_n seem_v most_o unreasonable_a do_v the_o conform_v congregation_n there_o cast_v man_n out_o of_o their_o fellowship_n for_o moral_n scandalous_a evil_n i_o doubt_v the_o godly_a discipline_n which_o their_o liturgy_n confess_v be_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o shall_v be_v in_o they_o be_v not_o find_v among_o they_o or_o if_o they_o shall_v i_o believe_v the_o noncon●ormists_n will_v be_v loath_a to_o receive_v any_o such_o into_o their_o communion_n which_o the_o new-england_n anabaptist_n have_v do_v and_o have_v persist_v therein_o from_o year_n to_o year_n and_o that_o after_o conviction_n and_o although_o in_o their_o delude_a narrative_a they_o seek_v to_o palliate_v this_o offence_n by_o a_o fallacious_a representation_n of_o thing_n their_o iniquity_n be_v mark_v before_o the_o lord_n nitre_n and_o much_o soap_n will_v never_o wash_v they_o clean_o if_o then_o dr._n stillingfleet_n or_o any_o other_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o stir_v up_o persecution_n against_o conscientious_a nonconformist_n in_o england_n and_o endeavour_v to_o justify_v it_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o congregational_a man_n in_o new-england_n we_o see_v not_o that_o any_o real_a advantage_n have_v be_v give_v only_o take_v from_o proceed_n here_o the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n call_v the_o mischief_n of_o imposition_n have_v give_v a_o fair_a and_o rational_a answer_n to_o the_o doctor_n as_o to_o this_o particular_a they_o say_v those_o of_o the_o congregational_a way_n in_o england_n plead_v for_o anabaptist_n liberty_n as_o for_o their_o own_o that_o they_o plead_v for_o liberty_n and_o indulgence_n to_o be_v extend_v towards_o those_o that_o differ_v from_o they_o only_o in_o that_o point_n of_o paedobaptism_n i_o believe_v when_o i_o be_v in_o england_n i_o do_v so_o myself_o and_o if_o i_o be_v their_o now_o i_o will_v do_v so_o again_o but_o that_o they_o shall_v plead_v for_o liberty_n unto_o such_o practice_n as_o our_o anabaptist_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o believe_v or_o if_o they_o do_v it_o be_v because_o such_o narrator_n as_o these_o animadvert_v upon_o have_v by_o untrue_a relation_n misguide_v they_o into_o undue_a apprehension_n nay_o i_o be_o full_o convince_v that_o those_o of_o their_o own_o way_n if_o of_o serious_a and_o gracious_a spirit_n when_o once_o they_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o true_a relation_n of_o thing_n concern_v they_o will_v see_v cause_n to_o condemn_v new-england_n less_o and_o those_o their_o friend_n more_o than_o at_o first_o they_o be_v aware_a of_o how_o do_v they_o bear_v the_o world_n in_o hand_n that_o the_o church_n here_o do_v excommunicate_v they_o for_o nothing_o but_o their_o opinion_n in_o scruple_v paedobaptism_n but_o that_o therein_o they_o have_v deal_v most_o untrue_o and_o injurious_o the_o subsequent_a answer_n to_o their_o narrative_n have_v make_v apparent_a from_o the_o church-recodrs_a concern_v those_o matter_n final_o let_v i_o entreat_v the_o brethren_n to_o believe_v that_o some_o of_o we_o will_v show_v as_o much_o indulgence_n unto_o true_o tender_a conscience_n as_o themselves_o it_o be_v not_o so_o long_o since_o our_o own_o neck_n bleed_v under_o

we_o have_v ourselves_o complain_v of_o in_o other_o but_o the_o brethren_n will_v ready_o own_o that_o some_o man_n have_v pretend_a conscience_n when_o pride_n &_o perverseness_n in_o the_o will_n have_v be_v at_o the_o bottom_n they_o will_v also_o confess_v that_o a_o mere_a pretence_n of_o conscience_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o bear_v man_n out_o in_o a_o evil_a practice_n all_o the_o
