shall_v be_v save_v and_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o easy_a remark_n that_o there_o have_v be_v seldom_o any_o dangerous_a schism_n on_o one_o side_n or_o any_o cruel_a persecution_n on_o the_o other_o side_n which_o the_o clergy_n have_v not_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o and_o that_o the_o laity_n will_v be_v more_o quiet_a if_o the_o clergy_n do_v not_o delude_v they_o or_o exasperate_v they_o and_o that_o even_o the_o more_o mistake_v and_o violent_a sort_n of_o magistrate_n will_v have_v some_o moderation_n in_o their_o persecution_n if_o the_o clergy_n do_v not_o

that_o on_o two_o notable_a account_n 1._o because_o they_o have_v ordinary_o the_o choose_n of_o the_o dignify_a and_o benefice_a churchman_n and_o they_o have_v but_o such_o as_o they_o choose_v themselves_o they_o think_v it_o be_v their_o wisdom_n as_o well_o as_o piety_n to_o make_v the_o honour_n and_o profit_n so_o great_a as_o shall_v be_v a_o very_a strong_a bait_n to_o pride_n and_o

consequent_o most_o honest_a and_o fit_a to_o be_v a_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n the_o further_o he_o will_v be_v from_o the_o seekers_n way_n so_o that_o except_o it_o be_v where_o the_o world_n have_v ruler_n so_o wise_a and_o strange_o pious_a as_o to_o seek_v out_o the_o worthy_a who_o seek_v not_o for_o themselves_o its_o easy_a to_o prognosticate_v what_o kind_n of_o pastor_n the_o church_n will_v have_v and_o very_o they_o that_o choose_v they_o be_v the_o unfit_a to_o complain_v of_o they_o whereas_o if_o the_o church_n maintenance_n be_v such_o as_o may_v but_o prevent_v the_o discouragement_n of_o such_o as_o seek_v the_o ministry_n for_o the_o work_v sake_n and_o for_o the_o love_n of_o soul_n that_o so_o student_n may_v not_o make_v it_o a_o trade_n for_o wealth_n but_o a_o self-denying_a dedication_n of_o themselves_o to_o god_n the_o church_n will_v be_v according_o provide_v and_o they_o that_o intend_v the_o save_n of_o soul_n will_v be_v the_o candidate_n by_o their_o own_o and_o their_o parent_n dedication_n as_o now_o they_o that_o intend_v a_o trade_n to_o live_v and_o serve_v the_o flesh_n by_o in_o a_o honourable_a way_n be_v too_o great_a a_o

will_v needs_o have_v carnal_a man_n let_v we_o not_o wonder_v if_o they_o live_v carnal_o and_o if_o the_o carnal_a mind_n be_v enmity_n to_o god_n and_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v subject_a to_o his_o law_n rom._n 8._o 6_o 7._o we_o may_v easy_o prognosticate_v how_o christ_n enemy_n will_v do_v his_o work_n and_o guide_v his_o church_n and_o whether_o their_o will_n and_o way_n will_v be_v such_o as_o the_o conscionable_a can_v conform_v to_o 3._o and_o the_o laity_n be_v unexcusable_a because_o it_o be_v they_o in_o all_o those_o country_n where_o popery_n and_o church-tyranny_n

of_o christ_n in_o those_o country_n where_o popery_n and_o church-tyranny_n prevail_v have_v long_o be_v by_o the_o magistrate_n annex_v their_o execution_n to_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o church_n as_o it_o be_v call_v and_o become_v the_o mere_a executioner_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o man_n no_o magistrate_n shall_v be_v debase_v so_o as_o to_o be_v make_v the_o church_n

the_o nature_n of_o the_o crime_n require_v a_o distinct_a secular_a judgement_n and_o punishment_n it_o will_v do_v much_o to_o heal_v all_o the_o division_n and_o perturbation_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n for_o which_o course_n i_o have_v these_o reason_n follow_v to_o urge_v 1._o it_o be_v a_o great_a contempt_n and_o reproach_n to_o christ_n institution_n of_o discipline_n to_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v a_o powerless_a uneffectual_a thing_n of_o itself_o unless_o the_o secular_a sword_n do_v enforce_v it_o such_o pastor_n vilify_v their_o own_o power_n also_o which_o be_v so_o useless_a 2._o it_o be_v a_o corrupt_a of_o christ_n discipline_n and_o destroy_v the_o use_n of_o it_o for_o it_o can_v be_v know_v now_o what_o the_o key_n do_v of_o themselves_o when_o the_o sword_n go_v with_o they_o no_o man_n know_v when_o repentance_n profess_v be_v credible_o real_a and_o move_v by_o divine_a motive_n and_o when_o it_o be_v dissemble_v for_o avoid_v of_o the_o secular_a punishment_n 3._o it_o must_v leave_v the_o pastor_n conscience_n unsatisfied_a in_o his_o administration_n and_o bind_v he_o to_o abuse_v christ_n when_o he_o must_v say_v to_o man_n if_o you_o have_v but_o rather_o say_v that_o you_o repent_v than_o lie_v in_o a_o gaol_n i_o absolve_v you_o and_o give_v you_o the_o sacrament_n and_o pronounce_v you_o pardon_v by_o christ._n who_o can_v administer_v on_o these_o term_n 4._o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a delude_n of_o the_o sinner_n soul_n that_o seem_v intimate_v by_o this_o way_n 5._o it_o be_v a_o wilful_a corrupt_a and_o confound_v of_o the_o church_n when_o man_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o be_v its_o member_n though_o they_o be_v infidel_n heathen_n or_o most_o impious_a if_o they_o have_v but_o rather_o say_v they_o be_v christian_n than_o lie_v in_o gaol_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o be_v that_o no_o man_n can_v know_v who_o be_v real_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o of_o any_o tyrannical_a church_n but_o only_o who_o have_v rather_o say_v they_o be_v of_o the_o church_n than_o be_v undo_v which_o any_o infidel_n and_o atheist_n will_v soon_o do_v therefore_o let_v not_o rome_n boast_v of_o the_o number_n of_o her_o member_n which_o be_v unknown_a 6._o it_o be_v a_o change_n of_o christ_n term_n of_o covenant_n christianity_n communion_n and_o absolution_n when_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o from_o his_o heart_n believe_v and_o repent_v and_o forsake_v the_o flesh_n and_o the_o world_n for_o i_o shall_v be_v my_o disciple_n and_o be_v pardon_v and_o he_o that_o credible_o profess_v thus_o much_o shall_v be_v take_v into_o the_o church_n which_o be_v true_o christ_n term_n now_o come_v the_o church-tyrant_n and_o say_v he_o that_o will_v say_v that_o he_o believe_v and_o repent_v rather_o than_o he_o will_v forsake_v the_o flesh_n and_o the_o world_n and_o will_v choose_v the_o church_n before_o a_o gaol_n shall_v be_v pardon_v and_o have_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n or_o at_o least_o have_v the_o seal_n of_o pardon_n to_o delude_v he_o 7._o by_o this_o mean_v the_o church_n be_v most_o constitute_v in_o such_o country_n of_o the_o gross_a wicked_a hypocrite_n and_o it_o be_v make_v a_o scorn_n to_o infidel_n and_o heathen_n and_o their_o conversion_n hinder_v thereby_o when_o they_o see_v that_o christian_n be_v worse_o than_o they_o 8._o and_o by_o this_o mean_v these_o hypocrite_n ruin_v the_o church_n itself_o as_o a_o enemy_n soldier_n in_o a_o army_n and_o nominal_a christian_n and_o pastor_n that_o be_v hearty_o enemy_n to_o christ_n do_v he_o more_o wrong_a and_o cause_n more_o division_n and_o ruin_n in_o the_o church_n than_o they_o can_v have_v do_v if_o they_o have_v stay_v without_o 9_o it_o destroy_v most_o of_o the_o hope_n or_o the_o success_n of_o those_o pastor_n as_o to_o the_o convert_n and_o save_v of_o man_n soul_n because_o when_o the_o magistrate_n be_v make_v but_o their_o executioner_n the_o people_n take_v all_o
