his_o leave_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o be_v angry_a if_o i_o take_v he_o at_o his_o word_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v i_o can_v but_o declare_v my_o amazement_n in_o call_v this_o circumstantial_a omission_n by_o no_o mild_a term_n than_o forgery_n who_o god_n be_v record_n between_o we_o of_o 50_o testimony_n which_o he_o he_o have_v pretend_v to_o take_v out_o of_o our_o

observe_v every_o variation_n the_o first_o lie_v between_o the_o ordinance_n hitherto_o consider_v and_o the_o ordinance_n i_o have_v hitherto_o consider_v it_o seem_v i_o have_v be_v leave_v out_o but_o this_o be_v not_o one_o step_v to_o forgery_n the_o next_o lie_v betwixt_o these_o two_o passage_n although_o respect_v their_o substance_n they_o deserve_v a_o more_o evangelical_n denomination_n and_o his_o say_v although_o that_o substantial_a and_o essential_a part_n and_o qualification_n of_o they_o and_o their_o respect_n to_o a_o mediator_n will_v require_v a_o denomination_n more_o evangelical_n the_o difference_n lie_v here_o first_o that_o i_o have_v put_v but_o the_o word_n substance_n in_o the_o room_n of_o substantial_a essential_a qualification_n their_o respect_n to_o a_o mediator_n wherein_o i_o conceive_v i_o have_v not_o wrong_v his_o matter_n for_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o moral_a ordinance_n &_o the_o substantial_a or_o essential_a part_n or_o qualification_n of_o the_o moral_a ordinance_n be_v equivalent_a the_o difference_n only_o lie_v that_o i_o do_v not_o rapeat_v his_o four_o term_n when_o one_o will_v serve_v but_o use_v the_o word_n substance_n as_o carry_v in_o it_o the_o import_n of_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o moral_a ordinance_n respect_v to_o a_o mediator_n i_o say_v they_o either_o respect_v the_o mediator_n from_o the_o substance_n or_o circumstance_n of_o they_o not_o the_o circumstance_n to_o be_v sure_a therefore_o the_o substance_n and_o that_o word_n i_o use_v in_o the_o place_n of_o substantial_a or_o essential_a as_o before_o i_o can_v yet_o see_v where_o the_o forgery_n lie_v but_o let_v we_o proceed_v the_o next_o variation_n lie_v between_o will_v require_v and_o deserve_v now_o i_o know_v not_o any_o wrong_v i_o do_v he_o in_o say_v those_o moral_a ordinance_n deserve_v instead_o of_o those_o moral_a ordinance_n will_v require_v the_o harsh_a word_n of_o the_o two_o be_v in_o his_o

more_o evangelical_n denomination_n instead_o of_o a_o denomination_n more_o evangelical_n the_o other_o be_v this_o instead_o of_o gospel_n or_o christian_a ordinance_n i_o do_v only_o set_v down_o christian_a ordinance_n all_o these_o thing_n consider_v i_o can_v believe_v these_o omission_n be_v able_a to_o stain_v my_o credit_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o sober_a reader_n though_o j._n

my_o advantage_n for_o i_o think_v those_o omission_n so_o little_a to_o his_o prejudice_n that_o the_o insert_v what_o i_o leave_v out_o will_v if_o possible_a have_v make_v more_o to_o my_o purpose_n the_o use_v i_o make_v of_o it_o be_v this_o first_o that_o a_o ministry_n ground_v internal_o upon_o the_o special_a grace_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n external_o upon_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n 2_o that_o a_o well-ordered_a church_n consist_v of_o religious_a member_n preach_v pray_v and_o that_o scriptural_o too_o be_v by_o he_o call_v christian_a ordinance_n and_o make_v natural_a

his_o first_o chapter_n and_o his_o gross_a contradiction_n to_o himself_o 3_o those_o he_o call_v natural_a ordinance_n and_o that_o be_v of_o universal_a obligation_n be_v far_o more_o substantial_a and_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n then_o those_o two_o of_o water-baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n upon_o which_o he_o more_o peculiar_o bestow_v the_o title_n of_o christian_a since_o no_o man_n can_v ever_o be_v save_v without_o the_o one_o i_o mean_v those_o natural_a ordinance_n as_o he_o call_v they_o ground_v internal_o upon_o the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o any_o man_n may_v be_v certain_o save_v without_o the_o other_o that_o he_o so_o peculiar_o call_v christian_n ordinance_n viz._n water-baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n i_o say_v his_o citation_n hinder_v i_o no_o more_o of_o this_o advantage_n than_o i_o he_o except_v against_o for_o if_o the_o substantial_a and_o essential_a part_n and_o qualification_n of_o they_o and_o the_o respect_n to_o a_o mediator_n will_v require_v they_o to_o be_v christian_a ordinance_n that_o part_n i_o leave_v out_o and_o for_o which_o he_o quarrel_v i_o what_o reason_n can_v there_o be_v for_o his_o count_v i_o a_o forger_n

and_o essential_a qualification_n and_o the_o respect_n to_o a_o mediator_n than_o there_o must_v needs_o have_v be_v christian_n or_o gospel-ordinance_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n in_o short_a since_o he_o deny_v not_o my_o consequence_n upon_o that_o citation_n i_o make_v and_o that_o we_o have_v show_v the_o difference_n to_o be_v little_a and_o what_o there_o be_v to_o make_v for_o i_o i_o think_v i_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o my_o former_a argumentation_n be_v find_v thus_o much_o for_o this_o cavil_v he_o go_v on_o reply_v pag._n 66._o a_o passage_n pag._n 133._o in_o w._n p._n i_o can_v persuade_v myself_o to_o let_v pass_v w._n p._n thus_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o blaspheme_v in_o our_o adversary_n and_o a_o evident_a contradiction_n to_o himself_o to_o
