upon_o themselves_o neither_o they_o nor_o we_o pretend_v to_o dispense_v with_o vow_n make_v to_o god_n but_o we_o think_v no_o vow_n can_v oblige_v man_n to_o sin_n and_o since_o all_o man_n have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o continency_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v if_o such_o person_n be_v ensnare_v in_o a_o rash_a vow_n it_o may_v be_v while_o they_o be_v child_n or_o before_o they_o understand_v their_o own_o temper_n and_o complexion_n since_o we_o can_v think_v the_o fornication_n of_o priest_n a_o more_o holy_a state_n than_o marriage_n we_o think_v it_o more_o justifyable_a to_o repent_v of_o a_o rash_a vow_n than_o to_o live_v in_o a_o constant_a state_n of_o temptation_n and_o sin_n it_o be_v likely_a enough_o as_o he_o say_v that_o dissenter_n may_v complain_v of_o persecution_n though_o they_o themselves_o have_v be_v declare_v enemy_n to_o a_o unlimited_a toleration_n and_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o find_v a_o medium_n between_o a_o general_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o those_o restraint_n which_o be_v lay_v on_o dissenter_n but_o it_o must_v be_v consider_v whether_o the_o church_n or_o the_o state_n be_v chargeable_a with_o this_o the_o several_a law_n which_o have_v be_v make_v against_o dissenter_n have_v be_v more_o for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o state_n than_o of_o the_o church_n have_v be_v occasion_v by_o a_o restless_a humour_n which_o have_v threaten_v the_o public_a peace_n and_o have_v be_v rare_o execute_v but_o at_o the_o instance_n of_o civil_a authority_n to_o provide_v for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o state_n and_o i_o suppose_v he_o will_v not_o parallel_v this_o with_o some_o other_o persecution_n but_o to_o make_v the_o dissenter_n quarrel_n at_o the_o assistance_n give_v to_o the_o low-countries_n and_o proffer_v to_o the_o french_a in_o their_o rebellion_n and_o the_o hard_a usage_n of_o the_o queen_n of_o scot_n and_o the_o late_a murder_n of_o charles_n i._o argue_v he_o matter_n not_o much_o what_o he_o say_v and_o to_o charge_v these_o intrigue_n of_o state_n upon_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v to_o forget_v that_o he_o be_v in_o england_n and_o not_o at_o rome_n where_o king_n make_v peace_n and_o war_n not_o the_o pope_n with_o his_o council_n of_o cardinal_n and_o yet_o our_o accommodator_n have_v keep_v the_o sweet_a bit_n for_o the_o last_o for_o he_o bring_v in_o the_o dissenter_n accuse_v the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o give_v every_o man_n a_o liberty_n of_o judge_v and_o yet_o require_v obedience_n to_o her_o own_o constitution_n which_o the_o mean_a sectary_n among_o they_o challenge_v and_o practice_n and_o it_o be_v not_o very_o modest_o do_v of_o they_o to_o blame_v that_o in_o we_o which_o they_o do_v themselves_o they_o all_o judge_n for_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o form_v church_n and_o communion_n of_o their_o own_o and_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v any_o into_o their_o communion_n without_o own_v their_o faith_n and_o submit_v to_o their_o order_n and_o discipline_n and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n challenge_v only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n her_o communion_n and_o government_n be_v enforce_v by_o law_n and_o what_o a_o mighty_a absurdity_n and_o contradiction_n be_v this_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v teach_v to_o use_v their_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n in_o religion_n and_o yet_o require_v to_o submit_v and_o conform_v to_o a_o church_n who_o faith_n and_o worship_n be_v consonant_a both_o to_o scripture_n and_o reason_n well_o but_o after_o all_o this_o liberty_n grant_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n whosoever_o will_v follow_v she_o must_v shut_v his_o eye_n stifle_v his_o reason_n and_o be_v lead_v only_o by_o the_o nose_n why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n now_o the_o charge_n be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o in_o matter_n of_o order_n and_o decency_n and_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o determination_n of_o church_n governor_n as_o be_v neither_o forbid_v nor_o command_v by_o god_n we_o must_v submit_v to_o the_o determination_n of_o authority_n whatever_o private_a judgement_n or_o opinion_n we_o may_v have_v of_o thing_n a_o great_a fault_n this_o that_o though_o every_o man_n must_v judge_v for_o himself_o in_o good_a and_o evil_n yet_o every_o private_a man_n judgement_n must_v be_v overrule_v by_o the_o public_a judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o order_n and_o external_a circumstance_n of_o religion_n much_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n 31._o be_v his_o conclude_a charge_n that_o we_o be_v a_o waver_a and_o unsettle_a church_n subject_n to_o continual_a variation_n because_o some_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n former_o use_v be_v now_o lay_v aside_o and_o what_o then_o do_v the_o settlement_n of_o the_o church_n consist_v in_o external_a ceremony_n be_v it_o any_o fault_n in_o a_o church_n which_o challenge_v to_o herself_o a_o power_n to_o appoint_v and_o constitute_v and_o alter_v external_a rite_n to_o exercise_v this_o power_n as_o she_o shall_v think_v most_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o right_n and_o wrong_n in_o this_o case_n which_o may_v therefore_o change_v with_o the_o change_n and_o alteration_n of_o time_n and_o person_n and_o other_o external_a circumstance_n of_o affair_n now_o let_v every_o man_n judge_v whether_o there_o be_v ever_o such_o a_o speech_n make_v for_o a_o dissenterbefore_n which_o in_o every_o point_n of_o it_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o profession_n and_o practice_n it_o be_v time_n for_o our_o author_n to_o have_v do_v with_o his_o trade_n of_o represent_v for_o no_o man_n will_v know_v what_o it_o be_v he_o represent_v do_v he_o not_o take_v care_n with_o the_o unskilful_a painter_n to_o write_v over_o his_o uncouth_a figure_n what_o they_o be_v this_o be_v a_o horse_n and_o this_o a_o ass._n and_o thus_o this_o hopeful_a design_n of_o represent_v and_o misrepresent_v end_v only_o in_o ridicul_v the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o liberty_n which_o if_o we_o need_v it_o be_v not_o mannerly_a for_o we_o to_o use_v at_o this_o time_n but_o we_o be_v content_v they_o shall_v ridicule_n our_o church_n if_o they_o will_v permit_v we_o true_o to_o represent_v they_o but_o to_o proceed_v our_o accommodator_n grant_v that_o he_o be_v still_o in_o arrear_n and_o certain_o never_o any_o bankrupt_a pay_v less_o in_o the_o pound_n than_o he_o offer_v 35._o and_o this_o be_v his_o accommodate_v which_o merchant_n call_v compound_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o his_o reflection_n i_o prove_v that_o what_o he_o call_v the_o character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v have_v nothing_o of_o misrepresentation_n in_o it_o proper_o so_o call_v for_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o fact_n misreport_v in_o his_o answer_n which_o he_o call_v papist_n protest_v against_o protestant_a popery_n instead_o of_o justify_v his_o character_n he_o seek_v out_o for_o new_a misrepresentation_n this_o in_o my_o last_o answer_n i_o inquire_v the_o reason_n of_o why_o instead_o of_o justify_v his_o own_o misrepresentation_n which_o he_o have_v so_o unjust_o father_v upon_o we_o he_o shall_v hunt_v about_o to_o pick_v up_o some_o new_a misrepresentation_n for_o i_o to_o answer_n and_o the_o reason_n he_o now_o assign_v for_o it_o be_v because_o i_o have_v little_a to_o say_v against_o the_o former_a except_o that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v misrepresentation_n in_o a_o strict_a sense_n now_o the_o less_o i_o have_v to_o say_v it_o be_v the_o more_o easy_o answer_v though_o i_o know_v not_o what_o more_o need_n to_o be_v answer_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o misrepresent_v than_o to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v false_a but_o he_o say_v he_o father_v his_o misrepresentation_n on_o no_o body_n and_o so_o much_o the_o worse_o for_o that_o for_o a_o general_a charge_n include_v every_o body_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v as_o unfortunate_a in_o his_o new_a misrepresentation_n as_o in_o his_o old_a one_o he_o bring_v in_o the_o archbishop_n of_o york_n for_o a_o misrepresenter_n whereas_o the_o misrepresentation_n he_o transcribe_v out_o of_o the_o archbishop_n the_o archbishop_n cite_v out_o of_o popish_a author_n and_o name_n the_o author_n where_o they_o be_v to_o be_v find_v but_o the_o protester_n to_o make_v a_o misrepresenter_n of_o he_o conceal_v all_o these_o authority_n and_o set_v down_o the_o word_n as_o the_o bishop_n own_o and_o this_o he_o do_v only_o to_o consult_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o prelate_n 36._o in_o what_o sir_n that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o entire_a glory_n of_o be_v a_o misrepresenter_n without_o be_v think_v to_o steal_v out_o of_o popish_a author_n but_o he_o say_v the_o bishop_n be_v still_o a_o misrepresenter_n in_o charge_v these_o say_n of_o private_a doctor_n upon_o the_o church_n but_o where_o do_v he_o do_v that_o yes_o he_o say_v he_o that_o be_v the_o
