its_o lawfulness_n and_o perform_v it_o as_o a_o matter_n of_o conscience_n will_v you_o think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o be_v compel_v from_o that_o unto_o another_o thing_n and_o have_v another_o

be_v content_v in_o your_o own_o persuasion_n and_o your_o own_o liberty_n in_o it_o without_o impose_v it_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o other_o who_o be_v otherwise_o persuade_v and_o this_o be_v not_o reasonable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o moderate_a man_n therefore_o leave_v off_o exercise_v lordship_n that_o all_o people_n may_v stand_v in_o their_o liberty_n and_o walk_v as_o they_o be_v persuade_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o impose_v not_o your_o observation_n and_o your_o tradition_n upon_o any_o who_o be_v not_o in_o themselves_o persuade_v of_o their_o lawfulness_n for_o that_o make_v many_o hypocrite_n but_o can_v never_o make_v one_o christian_n so_o there_o must_v be_v first_o a_o persuasion_n wrought_v in_o the_o conscience_n and_o a_o belief_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o lawfulness_n of_o what_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v or_o the_o heart_n can_v never_o stand_v right_a unto_o it_o though_o it_o be_v in_o great_a strictness_n impose_v and_o this_o bring_v people_n

you_o bishop_n dean_n prebend_n doctor_n vicar_n and_o curate_n with_o all_o pre●●ticals_n and_o let_v your_o moderation_n appear_v for_o the_o lord_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o in_o his_o eternal_a

for_o you_o have_v need_n to_o be_v teach_v what_o the_o first_o principle_n of_o the_o pure_a religion_n be_v and_o if_o you_o will_v but_o sober_o peruse_v this_o catechism_n you_o may_v know_v

in_o pride_n which_o god_n be_v stain_v and_o now_o do_v you_o believe_v that_o your_o foundation_n be_v right_a and_o your_o building_n safe_a i_o tell_v you_o nay_o for_o god_n will_v destroy_v both_o it_o and_o you_o if_o you_o do_v not_o speedy_o cease_v from_o it_o and_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o do_v not_o busy_a and_o throng_v yourselves_o so_o much_o to_o promote_v it_o and_o to_o finish_v it_o for_o god_n have_v determine_v to_o overthrow_v it_o for_o ever_o oh_o you_o deceive_a man_n who_o have_v no_o strength_n but_o in_o your_o tradition_n nor_o no_o comfort_n but_o from_o the_o milk_n of_o her_o breast_n you_o have_v be_v long_o draw_v and_o suck_v and_o yet_o be_v dry_a and_o lean_a and_o your_o immortal_a soul_n receive_v no_o refresh_n nor_o satisfaction_n why_o be_v you_o so_o blind_v and_o so_o much_o deceive_v and_o can_v otherwise_o be_v persuade_v but_o that_o tradition_n be_v the_o right_a way_n and_o from_o that_o conclusion_n endeavour_v a_o

to_o impose_v tradition_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o other_o more_o than_o other_o to_o impose_v their_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n upon_o your_o conscience_n and_o will_v you_o judge_v it_o reasonable_a that_o any_o shall_v so_o do_v unto_o you_o and_o if_o it_o belong_v unto_o you_o to_o do_v it_o on_o your_o part_n more_o than_o other_o to_o do_v it_o on_o their_o part_n then_o make_v it_o manifest_v how_o and_o from_o who_o you_o have_v receive_v that_o power_n for_o moderate_a man_n be_v now_o satisfy_v that_o school_n and_o college_n can_v give_v it_o you_o and_o they_o be_v also_o satisfy_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o give_v it_o you_o and_o also_o that_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n to_o warrant_v you_o therefore_o truth_n inquire_v moderate_o of_o you_o from_o whence_o and_o from_o who_o this_o impose_v power_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o other_o you_o receive_v see_v it_o be_v make_v manifest_a that_o you_o walk_v by_o tradition_n and_o not_o after_o christ_n for_o imposition_n and_o persecution_n be_v a_o evident_a testimony_n against_o you_o and_o full_o open_a and_o make_v you_o manifest_a to_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a spirit_n unto_o the_o apostle_n who_o be_v hate_v and_o persecute_v yet_o they_o love_v and_o bless_v and_o here_o they_o manifest_v their_o love_n unto_o he_o who_o command_v that_o they_o shall_v love_v their_o enemy_n and_o do_v

the_o truth_n be_v join_v unto_o from_o a_o true_a persuasion_n and_o not_o from_o a_o outward_a imposition_n and_o you_o be_v not_o to_o judge_v in_o these_o thing_n for_o in_o so_o do_v you_o take_v his_o right_n from_o he_o and_o set_v up_o that_o which_o be_v not_o his_o and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v it_o than_o you_o labour_v to_o impose_v it_o upon_o every_o conscience_n and_o this_o be_v a_o quite_o contrary_a thing_n to_o the_o saint_n practice_n who_o dare_v not_o set_v up_o any_o thing_n that_o do_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o when_o the_o power_n have_v bring_v any_o thing_n forth_o they_o do_v not_o impose_v it_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o any_o by_o a_o outward_a law_n that_o they_o thereby_o may_v compel_v a_o conformity_n to_o it_o but_o they_o preach_v it_o in_o the_o power_n and_o so_o commend_v themselves_o unto_o every_o man_n conscience_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n therefore_o behold_v your_o degeneration_n and_o what_o have_v happen_v unto_o you_o in_o this_o apostatise_v night_n of_o darkness_n in_o which_o you_o have_v err_v from_o the_o right_a way_n and_o go_v astray_o from_o the_o leading_n of_o god_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o his_o live_a spirit_n and_o so_o have_v bring_v forth_o your_o own_o dead_a work_n and_o be_v serve_v the_o live_a god_n in_o they_o and_o what_o you_o have_v seek_v out_o in_o
