call_v to_o mind_v two_o great_a reason_n as_o they_o be_v esteem_v which_o i_o hear_v allege_v in_o justification_n of_o their_o present_a preach_n first_o they_o say_v all_o minister_n be_v to_o declare_v to_o the_o people_n the_o whole_a council_n of_o god_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o ministerial_a office_n they_o have_v a_o power_n of_o preach_v what_o they_o think_v most_o fit_a second_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o r._n catholic_n priest_n up_o and_o down_o the_o city_n private_o allure_a and_o persuade_v the_o people_n to_o embrace_v that_o religion_n which_o tender_v their_o preach_v against_o it_o at_o this_o time_n absolute_o necessary_a unto_o both_o these_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o distinct_a answer_n first_o i_o shall_v not_o dispute_v their_o power_n in_o preach_v upon_o what_o subject_n they_o please_v nor_o do_v i_o know_v so_o much_o as_o one_o man_n that_o will_v deprive_v they_o of_o that_o liberty_n so_o that_o it_o be_v always_o exercise_v and_o keep_v within_o the_o bound_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o people_n may_v assure_o know_v be_v indeed_o the_o absolute_a counsel_n of_o god_n but_o in_o controversial_a matter_n i_o know_v not_o how_o this_o can_v be_v for_o the_o people_n must_v needs_o know_v that_o one_o part_n in_o all_o such_o sermon_n must_v not_o be_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n but_o against_o it_o for_o though_o both_o party_n preach_v upon_o that_o pretence_n yet_o there_o be_v but_o one_o truth_n which_o have_v always_o make_v i_o think_v that_o controversy_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o sermon_n but_o rather_o book_n or_o private_a conference_n for_o while_o a_o controversial_a point_n be_v handle_v in_o a_o sermon_n the_o hearer_n may_v start_v some_o objection_n in_o his_o thought_n which_o it_o may_v be_v the_o preacher_n never_o so_o much_o as_o touch_v at_o whereby_o the_o whole_a matter_n be_v leave_v in_o doubt_n which_o as_o often_o as_o it_o happen_v such_o hearer_n can_v receive_v those_o thing_n as_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n though_o they_o shall_v real_o be_v so_o and_o there_o all_o the_o labour_n that_o way_n be_v lose_v again_o it_o may_v be_v question_v that_o suppose_v those_o doctrine_n against_o which_o our_o clergy_n man_n be_v so_o frequent_o preach_v shall_v not_o be_v the_o council_n of_o god_n it_o may_v yet_o be_v consider_v whether_o or_o no_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o council_n of_o his_o will_n they_o shall_v just_o at_o this_o time_n above_o all_o other_o show_v their_o opposition_n to_o they_o when_o they_o can_v hardly_o manage_v it_o without_o endanger_v the_o people_n from_o fall_v off_o from_o a_o very_a great_a duty_n towards_o their_o king_n in_o which_o we_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v defective_a it_o be_v the_o council_n of_o god_n that_o circumcision_n a_o ordinance_n which_o himself_o have_v make_v for_o the_o jewish_a church_n shall_v not_o be_v continue_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o st._n paul_n so_o vehement_o preach_v against_o it_o to_o some_o church_n as_o that_o he_o tell_v they_o if_o they_o be_v circumcise_v christ_n shall_v profit_v they_o nothing_o yet_o upon_o another_o consideration_n he_o circumcise_a timotheus_n at_o lestria_n it_o be_v a_o weighty_a point_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o our_o doctor_n to_o consider_v how_o far_o the_o council_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o different_a circumstance_n both_o of_o time_n and_o of_o different_a case_n again_o do_v not_o all_o man_n know_v what_o great_a profaneness_n there_o be_v among_o multitude_n of_o those_o who_o profess_v themselves_o member_n only_a of_o their_o sanctuary_n some_o be_v great_a drunkard_n other_o as_o great_a oppressor_n some_o common_a swearer_n and_o that_o also_o of_o those_o horrible_a oath_n or_o expression_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v name_v and_o not_o a_o few_o most_o desperate_a whorer_n too_o many_o also_o sabbath_n breaker_n whereof_o divers_a to_o my_o knowledge_n come_v frequent_o to_o church_n and_o very_o often_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n now_o i_o shall_v think_v there_o be_v no_o counsel_n of_o god_n more_o necessary_a to_o be_v preach_v to_o such_o sinner_n than_o those_o that_o shall_v convince_v they_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o these_o desperate_a course_n and_o set_v they_o right_o in_o their_o moral_n before_o their_o head_n be_v fill_v with_o disputation_n in_o the_o controversal_a part_n of_o religion_n and_o yet_o who_o but_o such_o man_n as_o these_o after_o a_o sermon_n preach_v against_o the_o catholic_n religion_n talk_v more_o of_o it_o than_o they_o i_o hope_v the_o church_n of_o england_n doctor_n do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o only_a capital_a sin_n in_o england_n be_v the_o worship_v of_o god_n without_o their_o liturgy_n and_o ceremony_n as_o the_o dissenter_n do_v or_o to_o be_v of_o the_o r._n catholic_n religion_n and_o yet_o many_o wise_a man_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n have_v be_v tempt_v to_o believe_v so_o by_o the_o cursory_a sermon_n we_o have_v have_v this_o twenty_o year_n wherein_o we_o have_v have_v preach_v against_o these_o two_o rank_n of_o the_o christian_a profession_n than_o can_v be_v hear_v aagin_a all_o those_o gross_a impiety_n i_o have_v name_v to_o the_o second_o objection_n that_o suppose_v a_o multitude_n of_o person_n in_o holy_a order_n of_o the_o catholic_n religion_n to_o be_v private_o entice_v the_o protestant_a people_n to_o leave_v their_o religion_n i_o thus_o answer_v that_o whether_o this_o be_v true_a or_o no_o i_o can_v tell_v but_o if_o it_o be_v

from_o do_v the_o contrary_a that_o thereby_o those_o we_o converse_v with_o may_v honour_v he_o as_o we_o ourselves_o do_v and_o to_o come_v more_o close_o to_o the_o present_a circumstance_n of_o the_o time_n i_o must_v say_v that_o i_o judge_v one_o great_a part_n of_o our_o honour_v the_o king_n to_o consist_v in_o addressing_z ourselves_o to_o he_o in_o way_n of_o public_a and_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n of_o what_o special_a savour_n we_o receive_v from_o he_o for_o i_o can_v believe_v otherwise_o but_o that_o our_o honour_v the_o king_n must_v bear_v a_o great_a similitude_n to_o our_o honour_v of_o god_n and_o if_o so_o than_o i_o be_o sure_a addressing_z when_o we_o will_v honour_v he_o must_v not_o be_v leave_v out_o as_o often_o as_o he_o give_v occasion_n for_o man_n to_o talk_v of_o loyalty_n where_o these_o thing_n be_v want_v be_v but_o to_o abuse_v the_o king_n and_o themselves_o too_o these_o thing_n i_o shall_v illustrate_v further_o by_o two_o example_n when_o king_n saul_n delire_v samuel_n to_o honour_v he_o wherein_o do_v he_o place_v that_o honour_n be_v it_o not_o by_o something_o the_o prophet_n shall_v do_v that_o be_v to_o support_v his_o credit_n among_o the_o people_n 1_o sam._n 15.30_o honour_v i_o now_o i_o pray_v thou_o before_o the_o elder_n of_o my_o people_n saul_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v aside_o and_o put_v out_o of_o the_o government_n and_o he_o know_v as_o much_o but_o it_o be_v like_a he_o think_v it_o not_o convenient_a to_o his_o present_a condition_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v know_v it_o which_o they_o may_v have_v do_v in_o all_o likely_a hood_n have_v samuel_n deny_v his_o request_n but_o what_o do_v samuel_n in_o the_o case_n do_v he_o not_o ready_o and_o open_o show_v his_o compliance_n so_o samuel_n turn_v again_o after_o saul_n and_o saul_n worship_v the_o lord_n for_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n request_v of_o samuel_n viz._n that_o he_o will_v go_v with_o the_o king_n to_o worship_n god_n before_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n i_o hope_v no_o body_n imagine_v that_o i_o extend_v this_o example_n so_o far_o as_o to_o oblige_v all_o subject_n to_o worship_n as_o their_o king_n do_v what_o religion_n soever_o he_o profess_v it_o prove_v my_o argument_n better_o another_o way_n viz._n as_o it_o be_v a_o instance_n of_o the_o obligation_n that_o lie_v upon_o man_n in_o sacred_a office_n as_o samuel_n be_v to_o maintain_v the_o king_n honour_n in_o as_o public_a a_o manner_n as_o their_o place_n and_o station_n give_v they_o opportunity_n and_o forbid_v they_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v render_v he_o mean_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o people_n though_o they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v in_o all_o the_o king_n do_v samuel_n thus_o honour_v the_o king_n when_o he_o know_v that_o god_n have_v reject_v he_o in_o the_o government_n how_o then_o ought_v we_o to_o act_v towards_o a_o king_n who_o we_o all_o know_v god_n by_o most_o remarkable_a deliverance_n have_v set_v upon_o the_o throne_n the_o like_a we_o have_v in_o the_o instance_n of_o king_n ahasuerus_n mention_v in_o the_o book_n of_o esther_n who_o when_o he_o ask_v haman_n what_o shall_v be_v do_v to_o the_o man_n the_o king_n delight_v to_o honour_n be_v thus_o direct_v viz._n let_v there_o be_v put_v on_o he_o the_o royal_a apparel_n and_o bring_v he_o on_o horseback_n through_o the_o street_n of_o the_o city_n and_o proclaim_v before_o he_o thus_o shall_v it_o be_v do_v to_o the_o man_n who_o the_o king_n delight_v to_o honor._n wherein_o tho_o haman_n mistake_v the_o person_n at_o who_o the_o king_n aim_v as_o think_v it_o have_v be_v himself_o he_o do_v yet_o hit_v right_a in_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o thing_n how_o that_o honour_n the_o king_n intend_v be_v to_o be_v effect_v and_o what_o other_o thing_n be_v it_o that_o he_o direct_v but_o such_o a_o act_n as_o shall_v render_v that_o person_n to_o be_v great_a and_o worthy_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o peopl_n this_o be_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o loyalty_n as_o it_o may_v be_v consider_v in_o its_o high_a degree_n the_o question_n will_v now_o come_v more_o easy_a to_o a_o resolution_n i_o see_v no_o need_n of_o explain_v any_o of_o its_o term_n those_o upon_o which_o the_o whole_a stress_n of_o it_o depend_v be_v only_o concern_v the_o manner_n of_o many_o of_o their_o minister_n preach_v and_o of_o their_o and_o the_o people_n speak_v for_o i_o be_o not_o go_v about_o to_o tie-up_a either_o the_o people_n or_o any_o sort_n of_o preacher_n from_o assert_v the_o religion_n they_o profess_v but_o when_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o that_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o their_o king_n religion_n i_o will_v not_o have_v it_o do_v in_o any_o way_n not_o consistent_a with_o their_o loyalty_n now_o what_o that_o manner_n and_o method_n be_v which_o divers_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v take_v up_o in_o these_o thing_n both_o by_o their_o minister_n in_o preach_v and_o by_o their_o people_n in_o speak_v about_o the_o king_n declaration_n and_o his_o late_a proceed_n in_o those_o affair_n which_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v very_o inconsiestnt_a with_o those_o high_a degree_n of_o loyalty_n they_o pretend_v to_o and_o these_o text_n lay_v before_o we_o i_o shall_v mention_v in_o the_o particular_n follow_v and_o first_o of_o the_o preach_a 1._o when_o there_o be_v more_o preach_v this_o way_n than_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v need_n for_o or_o the_o suppose_a danger_n of_o the_o people_n require_v which_o seem_v to_o be_v much_o our_o present_a case_n for_o i_o can_v no_o way_n understand_v what_o necessity_n there_o be_v or_o have_v be_v for_o all_o the_o preach_v we_o have_v have_v of_o late_a against_o the_o catholic_n doctrine_n sure_o our_o preacher_n must_v think_v the_o people_n to_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n of_o their_o faith_n but_o then_o how_o come_v it_o about_o to_o be_v so_o have_v they_o so_o much_o neglect_v they_o all_o the_o time_n before_o as_o that_o now_o when_o a_o r._n catholic_n king_n come_v to_o the_o crown_n they_o must_v be_v all_o new_a teach_v or_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o this_o fear_n for_o certain_o some_o most_o lamentable_a apprehension_n must_v have_v strike_v even_o to_o their_o very_a soul_n or_o else_o they_o who_o have_v stand_v so_o mighty_o upon_o their_o loyalty_n will_v not_o run_v upon_o such_o method_n as_o now_o to_o make_v it_o be_v call_v in_o question_n i_o confess_v man_n in_o a_o panic_n fear_n may_v do_v strange_a thing_n but_o then_o i_o must_v

become_v r._n catholic_n by_o many_o man_n sermon_n indeed_o some_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v so_o and_o that_o these_o method_n of_o the_o pulpit_n be_v take_v up_o as_o the_o only_a mean_n to_o

this_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o needless_a fear_n and_o more_o imaginary_a than_o real_a and_o can_v i_o suppose_v that_o the_o impart_v such_o observation_n as_o i_o have_v make_v of_o these_o thing_n will_v in_o any_o wise_a obviate_v our_o churchmen_n fear_n in_o this_o matter_n i_o will_v then_o particularize_v the_o case_n as_o to_o the_o people_n and_o say_v the_o protestant_a dissenter_n i_o think_v need_v not_o be_v doubt_v for_o they_o be_v a_o people_n so_o anti-ceremonial_a in_o their_o worship_n and_o so_o much_o against_o any_o kind_n of_o liturgy_n or_o impose_v

those_o that_o go_v to_o the_o parish_n church_n there_o be_v divers_a serious_a people_n who_o so_o approve_v of_o the_o dissenter_n worship_n as_o that_o they_o steal_v often_o to_o it_o than_o their_o minister_n be_v aware_a of_o and_o these_o may_v be_v suppose_v upon_o the_o same_o reason_n to_o be_v in_o as_o little_a danger_n as_o the_o other_o there_o be_v then_o no_o great_a ground_n of_o fear_n for_o these_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o those_o they_o be_v most_o afraid_a of_o be_v such_o as_o be_v of_o their_o own_o church_n and_o here_o the_o dissenter_n can_v refrain_v smile_v to_o see_v that_o after_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v so_o fair_o copy_v out_o her_o liturgy_n ceremony_n and_o hierarchy_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o shall_v now_o
