it_o will_v be_v happy_a if_o all_o christian_n will_v quiet_o enjoy_v their_o difference_n of_o opinion_n and_o be_v so_o far_o of_o one_o mind_n as_o to_o go_v up_o together_o to_o the_o temple_n to_o pray_v and_o communicate_v with_o the_o catholic_n church_n in_o sacris_fw-la the_o church_n of_o england_n retain_v no_o sacrament_n but_o those_o which_o have_v the_o manifest_a authority_n

my_o own_o conscience_n i_o have_v a_o very_a serious_a love_n and_o veneration_n for_o all_o true_a piety_n and_o devotion_n but_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o have_v no_o communion_n with_o conventicle_n and_o will_v faithful_o acquaint_v you_o with_o my_o reason_n for_o that_o resolve_v first_o my_o ear_n be_v not_o fit_v for_o the_o unintelligible_a rhapsody_n of_o enthusiastic_a divinity_n nothing_o impress_n upon_o i_o but_o what_o my_o reason_n and_o judgement_n can_v give_v a_o sober_a account_n of_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v many_o assembly_n in_o england_n call_v religious_a meeting_n who_o chief_a devotion_n consist_v in_o nothing_o but_o froth_n and_o groan_n to_o borrow_v a_o odd_a phrase_n from_o our_o author_n second_o i_o will_v appeal_v from_o our_o

schismatic_n or_o all_o meeting_n upon_o unnecessary_a separation_n and_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a no_o not_o for_o prayer_n for_o hear_v for_o conference_n or_o for_o any_o other_o religious_a office_n whatsoever_o for_o the_o people_n to_o assemble_v otherwise_o than_o by_o public_a order_n be_v allow_v now_o since_o i_o can_v enjoy_v a_o communion_n with_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o all_o the_o advantage_n of_o christianity_n without_o go_v to_o a_o conventicle_n i_o think_v it_o be_v neither_o piety_n nor_o devotion_n for_o i_o to_o communicate_v with_o those_o congregation_n which_o our_o author_n grant_v to_o be_v unlawful_a assembly_n have_v i_o live_v in_o the_o day_n of_o dioclefian_n i_o will_v have_v be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o ecclesia_fw-la subterranea_fw-la and_o have_v assemble_v with_o the_o catholic_n christian_n in_o cave_n and_o grotto_n which_o necessity_n have_v consecrate_v into_o holy_a place_n but_o since_o it_o be_v my_o happy_a lot_n to_o live_v in_o that_o age_n and_o kingdom_n where_o christianity_n may_v be_v confess_v above_o ground_n since_o a_o just_a authority_n have_v open_v our_o church_n see_v i_o may_v offer_v all_o the_o public_a devotion_n that_o god_n require_v in_o those_o solemn_a place_n which_o the_o law_n appoint_v since_o i_o can_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v both_o devout_a towards_o god_n and_o obedient_a to_o my_o governor_n i_o resolve_v i_o will_v have_v no_o communion_n with_o those_o assembly_n which_o the_o law_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n make_v irregular_a sir_n i_o assure_v you_o it_o add_v some_o cheerfulness_n to_o my_o public_a devotion_n that_o i_o can_v at_o the_o same_o time_n both_o give_v unto_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n and_o to_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n three_o i_o resolve_v i_o will_v never_o be_v a_o member_n of_o our_o separate_a congregation_n because_o in_o they_o i_o can_v be_v assure_v of_o my_o complete_a communion_n with_o the_o catholic_n church_n or_o the_o advantage_n of_o a_o regular_a priesthood_n i_o question_v not_o but_o god_n may_v pardon_v without_o the_o absolution_n of_o a_o priest_n and_o give_v a_o man_n possession_n of_o eternal_a life_n without_o the_o seal_n or_o title_n of_o a_o sacrament_n but_o salvation_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o such_o vast_a

that_o god_n have_v give_v to_o mankind_n in_o that_o great_a schism_n of_o israel_n some_o of_o the_o most_o sober_a and_o consider_v jew_n be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o their_o communion_n in_o that_o new_a church_n of_o israel_n though_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o the_o law_n of_o jeroboam_n but_o return_v to_o worship_n at_o jerusalem_n yet_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n retain_v the_o same_o creed_n with_o those_o of_o judah_n and_o the_o calf_n of_o dan_n and_o bethel_n be_v not_o design_v for_o idol_n but_o set_v up_o in_o imitation_n of_o the_o cherubim_n in_o the_o temple_n but_o these_o wise_a man_n be_v dissatisfy_v because_o their_o priest_n be_v not_o of_o the_o aaronical_a line_n and_o have_v no_o other_o consecration_n or_o authority_n but_o what_o be_v derive_v from_o

now_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o order_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o jewish_a polity_n and_o therefore_o

of_o man_n who_o have_v receive_v this_o priestly_a authority_n by_o a_o regular_a ordination_n from_o the_o apostle_n successor_n and_o i_o esteem_v these_o man_n according_a to_o st._n paul_n
