the_o book_n write_v on_o both_o side_n in_o converse_v with_o the_o intelligent_a to_o find_v out_o what_o my_o duty_n be_v i_o have_v conclude_v upon_o nothing_o rash_o but_o with_o much_o deliberation_n i_o do_v not_o set_v the_o example_n of_o man_n before_o i_o nor_o draw_v any_o resolution_n from_o their_o practice_n and_o if_o more_o have_v conform_v then_o do_v i_o shall_v have_v stand_v in_o the_o same_o judgement_n and_o i_o serious_o profess_v that_o one_o of_o those_o that_o stand_v off_o in_o these_o part_n weigh_v more_o with_o i_o than_o ten_o of_o the_o conformist_n the_o gain_n or_o loss_n of_o the_o world_n have_v be_v nothing_o in_o my_o eye_n i_o have_v have_v no_o thought_n of_o what_o i_o shall_v eat_v what_o i_o shall_v drink_v or_o what_o i_o shall_v put_v on_o but_o i_o have_v impartial_o study_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o rule_n by_o which_o our_o way_n and_o action_n must_v be_v guide_v and_o upon_o all_o this_o i_o do_v most_o clear_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o my_o duty_n but_o it_o will_v be_v sin_n for_o i_o to_o close_v with_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v propose_v and_o enjoin_v to_o give_v you_o my_o reason_n be_v not_o safe_a for_o i_o nor_o profitable_a for_o you_o the_o new_a liturgy_n i_o have_v not_o see_v and_o therefore_o will_v neither_o approve_v it_o or_o disallow_v it_o lest_o i_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o speak_v evil_a of_o that_o which_o i_o understand_v not_o and_o though_o perhaps_o it_o be_v so_o compose_v that_o i_o may_v or_o can_v assent_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o yet_o if_o i_o and_o my_o brethren_n assent_v not_o and_o consent_v not_o unfeigned_o to_o it_o all_o we_o must_v speak_v a_o untruth_n and_o against_o our_o conscience_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o face_n of_o a_o congregation_n where_o god_n be_v present_a and_o his_o saint_n and_o where_o we_o must_v speak_v as_o god_n oracle_n and_o no_o more_o than_o we_o be_v confident_a our_o lord_n and_o master_n christ_n will_v speak_v or_o else_o we_o must_v refuse_v it_o altogether_o and_o indeed_o let_v it_o be_v how_o or_o what_o it_o will_v whether_o it_o be_v through_o my_o weakness_n and_o ignorance_n i_o can_v not_o pass_v my_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_n to_o any_o book_n as_o i_o remember_v that_o ever_o i_o read_v of_o that_o bulk_n excepr_fw-la the_o bible_n and_o how_o i_o shall_v to_o this_o i_o can_v imagine_v since_o the_o old_a one_o have_v so_o much_o say_v against_o it_o and_o this_o as_o it_o be_v say_v be_v not_o much_o different_a from_o it_o and_o although_o i_o know_v it_o be_v determine_v by_o our_o ruler_n that_o i_o shall_v preach_v the_o gospel_n no_o more_o and_o that_o i_o must_v leave_v the_o most_o honourable_a sweet_a and_o most_o desirable_a work_n in_o the_o world_n the_o solemn_a public_a service_n of_o god_n in_o be_v his_o mouth_n unto_o his_o people_n and_o although_o i_o must_v leave_v a_o people_n who_o i_o dear_o love_v and_o be_o persuade_v of_o their_o abundant_a love_n to_o i_o who_o service_n in_o the_o lord_n i_o love_v above_o all_o people_n and_o have_v refuse_v much_o of_o the_o world_n to_o dwell_v with_o they_o yet_o i_o say_v with_o paul_n that_o god_n need_v not_o my_o lie_n for_o his_o glory_n he_o have_v not_o put_v i_o upon_o a_o necessity_n of_o sin_v to_o do_v he_o service_n but_o the_o apostle_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o that_o man_n damnation_n slumber_v not_o that_o say_v he_o must_v do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v thereby_o it_o be_v true_a many_o people_n say_v that_o they_o be_v but_o small_a thing_n that_o be_v impose_v &_o indifferent_a thing_n and_o trifle_n and_o wonder_v at_o we_o that_o so_o many_o minister_n will_v leave_v their_o place_n and_o cease_v preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o that_o any_o man_n may_v do_v and_o not_o scruple_n and_o many_o good_a man_n do_v yield_v unto_o and_o keep_v their_o place_n to_o all_o this_o i_o say_v god_n have_v not_o teach_v i_o to_o call_v or_o account_v any_o sin_n small_a it_o be_v in_o its_o nature_n damnable_a a_o offence_n unto_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n a_o provocation_n of_o his_o wrath_n to_o break_v the_o least_o of_o god_n law_n or_o slight_v the_o small_a of_o his_o command_n 2._o i_o say_v they_o be_v not_o small_a to_o i_o and_o i_o be_o confident_a they_o will_v not_o be_v small_a thing_n to_o our_o conform_v brethren_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n however_o they_o seem_v now_o they_o be_v not_o small_a neither_o to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o bitterness_n and_o trouble_n for_o what_o they_o have_v do_v oh_o that_o you_o can_v persuade_v the_o afflict_a torment_a soul_n of_o wound_a man_n that_o they_o be_v very_o small_a thing_n if_o we_o that_o refuse_v think_v they_o small_a will_v we_o lose_v our_o livelihood_n in_o the_o world_n for_o they_o have_v we_o not_o love_v to_o ourselves_o our_o wife_n and_o child_n do_v we_o not_o desire_v to_o live_v as_o comfortable_a as_o other_o man_n some_o say_v it_o be_v through_o a_o humour_n that_o we_o refuse_v a_o strange_a humour_n that_o will_v make_v man_n lose_v 50._o l._n or_o 100_o or_o 200._o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la how_o many_o minister_n be_v there_o that_o have_v many_o child_n and_o little_a provision_n make_v for_o they_o but_o what_o be_v in_o the_o promise_n that_o can_v yield_v but_o lose_v all_o let_v not_o the_o world_n for_o shame_n call_v these_o man_n covetous_a any_o more_o nay_o do_v you_o think_v that_o we_o will_v cease_v preach_v the_o gospel_n that_o delightful_a work_n of_o god_n if_o they_o be_v such_o small_a thing_n as_o some_o will_v make_v they_o have_v not_o god_n give_v we_o ability_n assistance_n and_o success_n be_v not_o you_o many_o of_o you_o our_o glory_n and_o crown_n if_o you_o stand_v fast_o why_o shall_v we_o lose_v and_o leave_v the_o best_a employment_n upon_o earth_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o fear_n of_o sin_n that_o can_v ever_o cause_v we_o thus_o voluntary_o to_o depart_v out_o of_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n 3._o what_o other_o do_v be_v no_o rule_n to_o i_o i_o judge_v not_o their_o part_n or_o piety_n i_o have_v see_v some_o of_o their_o reason_n and_o have_v weigh_v they_o in_o the_o balance_n and_o find_v they_o too_o light_a to_o bring_v i_o up_o to_o they_o we_o know_v what_o minister_n do_v in_o king_n

find_v in_o they_o but_o i_o will_v not_o dispute_v the_o case_n god_n will_v be_v judge_n himself_o short_o judge_v nothing_o before_o the_o time_n as_o for_o you_o my_o dear_o belove_a in_o the_o

but_o work_n and_o labour_n not_o you_o but_o you_o many_o think_v my_o time_n will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o long_o with_o you_o but_o i_o think_v if_o god_n have_v spare_v life_n it_o shall_v not_o
