person_n to_o banish_v the_o thought_n of_o repent_v for_o his_o own_o sin_n by_o inquire_v into_o the_o heinous_a sinfulness_n of_o conformist_n i_o wish_v hearty_o he_o can_v prove_v his_o innocency_n in_o the_o one_o as_o easy_o as_o they_o can_v in_o the_o other_o and_o if_o he_o can_v clear_v his_o innocence_n that_o he_o will_v manifest_v his_o penitence_n then_o will_v i_o as_o ready_o give_v he_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n as_o he_o now_o deny_v it_o to_o other_o and_o he_o may_v be_v as_o great_a a_o instrument_n of_o peace_n on_o earth_n among_o the_o saint_n as_o of_o joy_n in_o heaven_n among_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v only_o beseech_v mr._n baxter_n to_o say_v that_o prayer_n hearty_o which_o he_o have_v pen_v in_o the_o 251_o and_o 252._o page_n of_o his_o cure_n of_o division_n and_o then_o let_v he_o reply_v as_o he_o think_v fit_a lord_n hide_v not_o my_o own_o miscarriage_n from_o my_o sight_n and_o suffer_v i_o not_o to_o take_v any_o sin_n that_o i_o have_v commit_v to_o have_v be_v my_o innocency_n or_o duty_n lest_o i_o shall_v dare_v to_o father_n sin_n on_o god_n and_o lest_o i_o shall_v live_v and_o die_v without_o

where_o it_o be_v that_o i_o have_v miscarry_v that_o contrition_n may_v prepare_v i_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o remission_n o_o save_v i_o from_o the_o plague_n of_o a_o impenitent_a heart_n that_o can_v endure_v to_o be_v tell_v of_o sin_n and_o from_o that_o ungodly_a folly_n which_o take_v the_o shame_n which_o repentance_n cast_v upon_o sin_n to_o be_v cast_v upon_o god_n and_o religion_n which_o bound_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o confession_n amen_n now_o when_o you_o have_v humble_o and_o sincere_o renew_v this_o prayer_n to_o almighty_a god_n i_o beseech_v you_o to_o consider_v serious_o with_o yourself_o that_o it_o may_v be_v god_n have_v in_o answer_n to_o your_o prayer_n raise_v up_o so_o vile_a a_o instrument_n as_o i_o be_o to_o be_v your_o monitor_n that_o what_o you_o think_v your_o duty_n be_v your_o sin_n and_o that_o you_o be_v one_o that_o still_o continue_v judgement_n and_o danger_n to_o the_o land_n for_o first_o you_o seem_v doubtful_a of_o it_o when_o you_o pray_v against_o it_o 2._o when_o after_o long_a and_o mature_a deliberation_n you_o enter_v into_o communion_n with_o our_o church_n in_o all_o its_o ordinance_n that_o concern_v

many_o other_o to_o a_o like_a pious_a and_o peaceable_a behaviour_n how_o can_v it_o be_v less_o than_o a_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o a_o grieve_v and_o gravel_v the_o conscience_n of_o such_o well-disposed_a christian_n not_o only_o to_o withdraw_v your_o avow_a communion_n but_o to_o practice_v that_o which_o direct_o tend_v to_o division_n and_o confusion_n 3._o that_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o such_o as_o be_v very_o pious_a and_o learned_a man_n in_o your_o own_o opinion_n that_o practice_n of_o you_o which_o continue_v and_o encourage_v separation_n from_o our_o communion_n be_v sinful_a such_o be_v cranmer_n ridly_n peter_n martyr_n and_o other_o that_o compile_v the_o liturgy_n in_o king_n edward_n the_o vi_o day_n and_o parker_n grindal_n horn_n jewel_n who_o review_v and_o recommend_v it_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n such_o be_v usher_n davenant_n potter_n hall_n carleton_n and_o other_o in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n james_n and_o king_n charles_n of_o bless_a memory_n what_o think_v you_o of_o all_o these_o sober_a and_o moderate_a conformist_n such_o as_o bolton_n whately_n fenner_n dent_n crook_n dike_n stock_n smith_n preston_n sibbs_n stoughton_n taylor_n etc._n etc._n these_o you_o confess_v be_v no_o ignorant_a nor_o temporize_v person_n what_o think_v you_o of_o jacob_n and_o johnson_n who_o be_v independent_o yet_o write_v against_o separation_n and_o what_o think_v you_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a and_o pious_a of_o the_o nonconformist_n such_o as_o cartwright_n egerton_n hildersham_n dod_n ames_n parker_n baines_n brightman_n ball_n bradshaw_n paget_n langly_n nichols_n hear_a who_o write_v more_o against_o separation_n than_o any_o of_o the_o conformist_n themselves_o 57_o principle_n of_o love_n p._n 57_o as_o you_o affirm_v what_o think_v you_o of_o the_o assembly_n of_o divine_n twiss_n gataker_n etc._n etc._n among_o who_o you_o say_v you_o never_o hear_v but_o of_o five_o nonconformist_n what_o think_v you_o of_o such_o as_o have_v conform_v since_o 1660._o such_o as_o reynolds_n conant_n wallis_n and_o last_o what_o think_v you_o of_o the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o nonconformist_n mr._n t._n cartwright_n who_o after_o he_o have_v write_v as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v against_o conformity_n see_v so_o much_o of_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o argument_n as_o that_o he_o repent_v and_o conform_v at_o last_o if_o all_o these_o have_v judge_v a_o bare_a withdraw_a of_o the_o people_n from_o our_o communion_n to_o be_v unlawful_a and_o against_o their_o duty_n i_o wonder_v how_o you_o can_v still_o think_v your_o more_o positive_a oppose_a and_o hinder_v of_o it_o to_o be_v your_o duty_n i_o consider_v again_o that_o to_o live_v in_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o law_n and_o lawful_a authority_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n in_o a_o well_o establish_v kingdom_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o no_o mean_a nature_n in_o itself_o and_o by_o its_o effect_n may_v prove_v exceed_o sinful_a for_o schism_n and_o division_n spiritual_a pride_n &_o censoriousness_n be_v as_o certain_o sin_n and_o perhaps_o great_a than_o whoredom_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o rebellion_n be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n i_o consider_v also_o that_o you_o have_v have_v long_a experience_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o schism_n how_o great_a a_o matter_n a_o little_a fire_n kindle_v and_o do_v meditate_v and_o foretell_v with_o what_o design_n i_o know_v not_o in_o the_o second_o paper_n to_o the_o king_n p._n 12._o that_o if_o you_o shall_v lose_v the_o opportunity_n of_o your_o desire_a

other_o motive_n prevail_v with_o i_o to_o become_v your_o monitor_n that_o what_o you_o now_o take_v to_o be_v your_o duty_n be_v your_o sin_n and_o that_o your_o present_a practice_n tend_v to_o the_o continue_v of_o judgement_n and_o danger_n to_o the_o land_n and_o if_o my_o charitable_a admonition_n to_o you_o and_o peaceable_a endeavour_n for_o unity_n and_o establishment_n in_o the_o
