which_o may_v be_v manage_v with_o a_o strong_a bit_n and_o bridle_n as_o you_o please_v this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o mr._n a_n word_n in_o his_o preface_n and_o what_o hurt_n be_v there_o in_o they_o do_v not_o all_o protestant_n speak_v the_o same_o language_n and_o be_v it_o not_o better_a that_o man_n e●r_v in_o some_o thing_n than_o that_o they_o put_v out_o their_o eye_n and_o see_v with_o those_o of_o other_o man_n blind_o follow_v their_o conduct_n and_o submit_v and_o assent_v to_o all_o their_o imposition_n but_o the_o dr._n will_v say_v be_v separation_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o levity_n of_o man_n mind_n only_o a_o small_a or_o petty_a inconvenience_n in_o answer_v whereunto_o i_o will_v distinguish_v of_o separation_n there_o be_v a_o separation_n that_o proceed_v upon_o reason_n apparent_o true_a and_o such_o be_v the_o separation_n of_o protestant_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a and_o necessary_a duty_n there_o be_v a_o separation_n that_o proceed_v upon_o probable_a reason_n which_o sometime_o be_v not_o cogent_a nor_o conclusive_a and_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v such_o as_o honest_a and_o upright_o mind_a man_n may_v not_o be_v able_a to_o free_v themselves_o from_o be_v entangle_v and_o fetter_v by_o they_o this_o be_v a_o inconvenience_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v great_a or_o small_a i_o know_v not_o how_o it_o will_v be_v avoid_v in_o this_o state_n of_o weakness_n and_o imperfection_n but_o by_o remedy_n worse_o than_o the_o disease_n but_o that_o which_o to_o my_o apprehension_n seem_v the_o best_a way_n of_o avoid_v it_o be_v let_v nothing_o be_v make_v necessary_a to_o communion_n in_o church_n but_o a_o few_o plain_a necessary_a thing_n and_o this_o will_v certain_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o most_o of_o those_o division_n and_o separation_n that_o have_v and_o do_v vex_v the_o christian_a church_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n especial_o and_o particular_o but_o there_o be_v a_o separation_n that_o proceed_v upon_o reason_n apparent_o false_a such_o be_v the_o separation_n of_o the_o socinian_o from_o the_o reform_a church_n and_o such_o be_v the_o separation_n of_o many_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n this_o be_v intolerable_a and_o by_o all_o prudent_a and_o christian_a mean_n and_o endeavour_n to_o be_v repress_v by_o separation_n here_o i_o mean_v not_o bare_o refuse_v communion_n but_o set_v up_o new_a church_n in_o opposition_n to_o those_o they_o have_v forsake_v but_o it_o may_v be_v inquire_v further_o whether_o separation_n upon_o probable_a weak_a and_o unconcluding_a reason_n be_v not_o sinful_a i_o answer_v yes_o but_o what_o if_o it_o be_v there_o be_v some_o difference_n in_o sin_n as_o most_o man_n believe_v and_o i_o see_v no_o great_a reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o neither_o all_o sinner_n nor_o all_o schismatic_n that_o be_v true_o such_o must_v be_v send_v to_o the_o mine_n or_o to_o the_o galley_n in_o brief_a god_n will_v make_v a_o difference_n between_o sinner_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o governor_n of_o church_n both_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a shall_v make_v some_o difference_n between_o they_o here_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o will_v not_o be_v think_v either_o to_o excuse_v or_o encourage_v unjustifiable_a separation_n i_o will_v that_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o such_o separation_n shall_v be_v lay_v open_a with_o all_o its_o just_a aggravation_n and_o that_o all_o just_a mean_n be_v use_v by_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o prevent_v and_o hinder_v it_o yea_o and_o something_o by_o the_o magistrate_n too_o but_o if_o separation_n can_v be_v prevent_v i_o mean_v such_o as_o proceed_v upon_o probable_a but_o not_o conclude_v reason_n by_o those_o endeavour_n it_o must_v be_v endure_v a_o inconvenience_n be_v more_o eligible_a than_o a_o mischief_n and_o many_o thing_n be_v and_o must_v be_v suffer_v in_o all_o society_n that_o be_v not_o nor_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v approve_v such_o be_v divorce_n in_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n and_o some_o thing_n else_o in_o that_o and_o other_o society_n of_o man_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v not_o impose_v any_o thing_n upon_o its_o member_n by_o mere_a authority_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v nor_o do_v it_o force_v they_o to_o resign_v their_o reason_n to_o naked_a will_n and_o pleasure_n nor_o command_v belief_n of_o those_o notorious_a falsehood_n which_o that_o imperious_a and_o apostate_n synagogue_n of_o satan_n do_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v ready_o grant_v and_o we_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o that_o this_o church_n do_v impose_v nothing_o that_o be_v apparent_o and_o gross_o false_a it_o command_v no_o idolatrous_a worship_n no_o opinion_n contrary_a to_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o mankind_n no_o invocation_n of_o saint_n prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a no_o pilgrimage_n to_o shrine_n no_o ridiculous_a or_o sottish_a superstition_n but_o though_o it_o impose_v nothing_o gross_o false_a foolish_a or_o superstitious_a yet_o some_o man_n think_v and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o confute_v they_o that_o it_o impose_v some_o thing_n dubious_a uncertain_a and_o unnecessary_a from_o which_o the_o clergy_n can_v dissent_v but_o thereby_o they_o shut_v themselves_o out_o of_o their_o office_n and_o become_v uncapable_a of_o exercise_v their_o ministry_n with_o the_o countenance_n and_o protection_n of_o the_o law_n and_o if_o the_o laity_n doubt_v the_o truth_n of_o any_o of_o its_o imposition_n and_o do_v publish_v their_o doubt_n and_o will_v be_v pertinacious_a in_o the_o defence_n of_o they_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o excommunication_n and_o all_o that_o be_v consequent_a unto_o it_o and_o in_o these_o thing_n this_o church_n be_v peremptory_a and_o admit_v of_o no_o indulgence_n subscribe_v or_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n speak_v nothing_o to_o the_o disparagement_n of_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o doctrine_n discipline_n or_o liturgy_n or_o you_o shall_v be_v excommunicate_v and_o give_v up_o to_o the_o devil_n thus_o it_o speak_v and_o this_o be_v its_o language_n i_o do_v easy_o grant_v that_o this_o church_n pretend_v not_o to_o infallibility_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v but_o in_o whatsoever_o it_o determine_v it_o avow_v itself_o not_o mistake_v or_o deceive_v and_o what_o be_v the_o difference_n in_o effect_n between_o a_o church_n that_o assume_v to_o itself_o the_o title_n and_o approbation_n of_o infallible_a and_o a_o church_n that_o say_v i_o be_o not_o mistake_v in_o my_o determination_n and_o imposition_n suppose_v two_o person_n one_o a_o nestorian_a the_o other_o a_o eutichian_a the_o one_o propose_v in_o certain_a article_n his_o doctrine_n so_o as_o confound_v christ_n nature_n and_o withal_o tell_v you_o he_o be_v infallible_a and_o you_o must_v subscribe_v to_o and_o acknowledge_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o or_o prepare_v yourself_o for_o the_o axe_n or_o the_o gallow_n the_o other_o propose_v his_o doctrine_n so_o as_o he_o divide_v christ_n person_n but_o pretend_v not_o to_o be_v infallible_a but_o say_v his_o doctrine_n be_v true_a and_o he_o be_v not_o mistake_v in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v at_o your_o pleasure_n and_o in_o your_o choice_n either_o to_o subscribe_v it_o or_o prepare_v yourself_o for_o the_o mine_n of_o peru_n and_o the_o indies_n the_o application_n be_v obvious_a and_o every_o one_o can_v make_v it_o without_o my_o manuduction_n or_o direction_n but_o let_v i_o not_o be_v say_v to_o defame_v this_o church_n i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o it_o impose_v nothing_o gross_o and_o apparent_o false_a but_o only_o some_o thing_n unnecessary_a and_o uncertain_a i_o will_v add_v here_o the_o penalty_n impose_v upon_o those_o that_o refuse_v to_o own_o and_o acknowledge_v or_o do_v defame_v its_o determination_n be_v not_o so_o severe_a nor_o sanguinary_a as_o in_o the_o roman_a church_n nor_o peradventure_o so_o certain_o and_o severe_o execute_v but_o whether_o the_o peremptory_a impose_v thing_n doubtful_a controvert_v useless_a and_o unnecessary_a upon_o the_o legal_a and_o establish_a penalty_n be_v not_o tyrannical_a and_o imperious_a will_v deserve_v a_o little_a consideration_n why_o must_v all_o minister_n be_v oblige_v to_o subscribe_v to_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o 39_o article_n liturgy_n and_o book_n of_o ordination_n as_o contain_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n why_o must_v they_o subscribe_v the_o 20_o article_n concern_v the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n to_o ordain_v rite_n and_o ceremony_n why_o must_v they_o assent_v to_o the_o 8_o article_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o athanasian_n
