what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v with_o their_o salvation_n tit._n not_o much_o i_o confess_v only_o it_o be_v a_o old_a maxim_n with_o divine_n that_o extra_n ecclesiam_fw-la nulla_fw-la salus_fw-la so_o that_o if_o you_o total_o exclude_v they_o out_o of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n you_o do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v to_o bar_v they_o out_o of_o heaven_n for_o which_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o give_v you_o little_a thanks_o tim._n i_o value_v not_o their_o thanks_o tit._n however_o let_v they_o have_v your_o prayer_n that_o since_o they_o be_v no_o christian_n as_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v such_o in_o time_n especial_o on_o good_a friday_n when_o you_o pray_v for_o all_o turk_n jew_n infidel_n and_o heretic_n think_v on_o they_o will_v you_o tim._n then_o or_o not_o at_o all_o for_o i_o know_v no_o other_o part_n of_o our_o liturgy_n will_v comprehend_v they_o tit._n yes_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o there_o be_v one_o place_n more_o wherein_o they_o may_v be_v remember_v without_o much_o danger_n of_o defile_v our_o prayer_n with_o the_o thought_n of_o they_o tim._n where_o be_v that_o i_o can_v call_v it_o to_o mind_n tit._n that_o be_v much_o when_o you_o read_v it_o some_o 3_o time_n a_o week_n it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o litany_n that_o it_o may_v please_v thou_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o man_n so_o that_o if_o you_o do_v but_o allow_v they_o to_o be_v man_n not_o beast_n you_o may_v venture_v to_o let_v they_o have_v a_o ship_n in_o that_o sentence_n tim._n you_o have_v name_v all_o i_o be_o sure_a now_o wherein_o they_o can_v have_v any_o share_n tit._n suppose_v when_o you_o read_v the_o confession_n we_o have_v leave_v undo_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v and_o we_o have_v do_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v do_v we_o shall_v understand_v it_o of_o the_o fanatic_n as_o well_o as_o of_o ourselves_o will_v there_o be_v any_o harm_n in_o it_o tim._n none_o in_o the_o world_n for_o doubtless_o it_o be_v true_a of_o they_o to_o a_o tittle_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o more_o such_o instance_n i_o shall_v begin_v to_o think_v our_o prayer_n be_v compose_v chief_o for_o they_o but_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o more_o tit._n many_o more_o tim._n where_o tit._n in_o the_o litany_n as_o that_o from_o all_o pride_n vain_a glory_n and_o hypocrisy_n from_o envy_n batter_v malice_n and_o all_o uncharitableness_n tim._n nothing_o ever_o more_o pertinent_a tit._n except_o that_o from_o all_o sedition_n privy_a conspiracy_n and_o rebellion_n from_o all_o false_a doctrine_n heresy_n and_o schism_n tim._n better_o and_o better_o tit._n and_o that_o it_o may_v please_v thou_o to_o bring_v into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n all_o such_o as_o have_v err_v and_o be_v decieve_v that_o it_o may_v please_v thou_o to_o forgive_v our_o enemy_n persecutor_n and_o slanderer_n and_o to_o turn_v their_o heart_n tim._n incomparable_a i_o profess_v i_o shall_v never_o read_v these_o prayer_n hence_o forward_o but_o i_o shall_v think_v of_o the_o man_n they_o be_v so_o apt_a so_o exceed_v apt_a that_o it_o will_v add_v to_o my_o devotion_n ever_o after_o where_o be_v my_o brain_n that_o i_o never_o notice_v this_o before_o as_o i_o hope_v to_o live_v i_o believe_v scarce_o a_o bishop_n that_o know_v for_o who_o sake_n those_o prayer_n be_v insert_v till_o now_o tit._n now_o than_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v let_v these_o poor_a gibeonite_n share_v both_o in_o your_o confession_n and_o petition_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o may_v without_o turn_v your_o zeal_n to_o god_n into_o

fellow_n member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o christ_n for_o such_o i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v nor_o do_v our_o church_n in_o this_o article_n exclude_v they_o which_o make_v it_o stick_v long_o so_o long_o by_o the_o way_n but_o by_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v it_o be_v pretty_a well_o down_o if_o not_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o next_o will_v drive_v it_o down_o tim._n i_o will_v try_v article_n 20._o of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o decree_v rite_n or_o ceremony_n and_o authority_n in_o controversy_n of_o faith_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o church_n to_o ordain_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n word_n write_v neither_o may_v it_o so_o expound_v one_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o it_o be_v

same_o so_o beside_o the_o same_o ought_v it_o not_o to_o enforce_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v believe_v for_o necessity_n of_o salvation_n tit._n i_o need_v not_o ask_v whether_o you_o ever_o read_v this_o before_o because_o i_o know_v you_o do_v not_o but_o how_o do_v you_o like_v it_o now_o you_o have_v read_v it_o tim._n not_o at_o all_o in_o troth_n unless_o by_o church_n they_o mean_v that_o at_o westminster_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v true_a as_o to_o we_o in_o any_o other_o sense_n for_o it_o be_v that_o great_a assembly_n or_o general_n counoel_n that_o decree_n and_o appoint_v all_o our_o

church_n have_v a_o power_n to_o decree_v rite_n which_o be_v all_o the_o article_n assert_n in_o that_o point_n tim._n decree_n ay_o she_o may_v decree_v and_o decree_n till_o her_o heart_n ache_v but_o if_o she_o have_v not_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o house_n she_o shall_v never_o have_v the_o thanks_o of_o the_o house_n for_o her_o pain_n and_o without_o their_o vote_n and_o thanks_o i_o know_v what_o her_o decree_n will_v come_v to_o tit._n to_o what_o tim._n to_o scorn_v and_o disdain_n with_o they_o that_o make_v those_o decree_n '_o slide_v man_n if_o all_o the_o reverend_a bishop_n of_o
