that_o will_v use_v they_o might_n and_o he_o that_o will_v not_o might_n choose_v and_o this_o in_o short_a time_n will_v bring_v mere_a confusion_n into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o i_o

of_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n fit_a why_o my_o lord_n tell_v you_o first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o usurpation_n of_o power_n over_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o act_n of_o

to_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o themselves_o and_o other_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n submit_v to_o that_o set_a form_n of_o god_n worship_n which_o be_v

john_n teach_v his_o disciple_n and_o christ_n 2._o instant_o grant_v their_o request_n teach_v they_o a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o st._n john_n teach_v his_o so_o too_o though_o the_o form_n be_v not_o record_v in_o scripture_n upon_o all_o which_o lay_v together_o it_o be_v probable_a enough_o by_o my_o lord_n leave_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v exercise_n some_o set_a form_n that_o at_o lest_o which_o christ_n teach_v they_o and_o assume_v power_n to_o enjoin_v it_o upon_o their_o follower_n but_o herein_o yet_o the_o apostle_n be_v

from_o fornication_n where_o first_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o apostle_n do_v assume_v this_o power_n of_o enjoin_v and_o exercise_v it_o too_o and_o i_o hope_v my_o lord_n for_o very_a

that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v and_o have_v still_o as_o much_o power_n to_o enjoin_v a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n as_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n but_o my_o lord_n have_v more_o

for_o a_o man_n be_v not_o a_o apostate_n proper_o till_o he_o fall_v away_o by_o deny_v the_o whole_a faith_n but_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o heresy_n schism_n and_o separation_n upon_o the_o denial_n of_o any_o one_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n receive_v by_o the_o catholic_n church_n second_o because_o shall_v a_o man_n agree_v in_o all_o and_o every_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n

be_v not_o the_o only_a cause_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o catholic_n church_n since_o this_o separation_n can_v be_v otherways_o make_v and_o my_o lord_n within_o the_o space_n of_o three_o

of_o such_o corruption_n in_o their_o external_a worship_n and_o liturgy_n as_o they_o do_v admit_v of_o and_o will_v enjoin_v upon_o other_o in_o this_o other_o particular_a separation_n i_o shall_v

will_v come_v to_o the_o service_n as_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n in_o other_o either_o cathedral_n or_o parochial_a church_n my_o lord_n have_v have_v great_a wrong_n to_o be_v account_v a_o

that_o shall_v avow_v the_o contrary_a must_v needs_o differ_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o fundamental_o for_o these_o contradiction_n a_o true_a church_n and_o no_o true_a church_n a_o

without_o far_a proof_n to_o deny_v both_o the_o defect_n and_o corruption_n both_o the_o many_o and_o the_o gross_a as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v make_v good_a

his_o lordship_n confess_v they_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n which_o if_o not_o several_a yet_o altogether_o as_o they_o depend_v one_o upon_o another_o be_v save_v and_o

himself_o yes_o sure_a for_o he_o add_v i_o hold_v no_o such_o opinion_n but_o do_v believe_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n many_o true_a church_n and_o a_o true_a

which_o my_o lord_n call_v so_o that_o if_o these_o corruption_n be_v fundamental_a they_o may_v be_v such_o too_o as_o may_v keep_v these_o church_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o from_o be_v true_a

than_o his_o lordship_n ought_v not_o to_o separate_v but_o to_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o they_o for_o all_o these_o either_o yoke_n or_o corruption_n the_o apostle_n indeed_o tell_v we_o of_o

these_o corruption_n contrary_a as_o he_o think_v to_o their_o duty_n but_o it_o seem_v they_o think_v not_o so_o or_o if_o they_o do_v think_v so_o why_o do_v they_o not_o remonstrate_v their_o

their_o yield_n unto_o and_o their_o admit_v these_o thing_n which_o he_o call_v yoke_n and_o corruption_n as_o for_o that_o which_o follow_v and_o which_o my_o lord_n say_v he_o be_v sure_a of_o that_o no_o separatist_n in_o england_n that_o deserve_v that_o name_n hold_v that_o which_o his_o lordship_n say_v here_o he_o do_v believe_v in_o that_o also_o i_o conceive_v his_o lordship_n be_v utter_o mistake_v for_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o separatist_n in_o england_n brownist_n or_o other_o deserve_a that_o name_n but_o he_o hold_v and_o will_v say_v as_o much_o as_o my_o lord_n believe_v namely_o that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n many_o true_a church_n that_o be_v assembly_n or_o congregation_n of_o their_o own_o brotherhood_n and_o a_o true_a ministry_n to_o wit_n those_o which_o themselves_o have_v make_v and_o that_o they_o do_v hear_v they_o that_o be_v such_o as_o these_o yea_o and_o that_o they_o can_v join_v in_o communion_n with_o some_o other_o church_n be_v those_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n which_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o take_v off_o and_o those_o corruption_n remove_v that_o be_v upon_o the_o matter_n if_o they_o will_v become_v as_o themselves_o be_v than_o they_o will_v join_v with_o they_o and_o this_o 〈◊〉_d of_o all_o doubt_n they_o think_v they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o neither_o yield_v unto_o such_o yoek_n nor_o admit_v of_o such_o

therefore_o no_o question_n can_v be_v make_v but_o that_o my_o lord_n deserve_v that_o name_n as_o much_o as_o any_o of_o they_o even_o while_o he_o say_v he_o be_v sure_a no_o separatist_n in_o england_n that_o deserve_v that_o name_n hold_v as_o he_o do_v but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o quick_a the_o brownist_n and_o separatist_n deal_v plain_o with_o god_n and_o the_o world_n and_o say_v express_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o stand_v establish_v by_o law_n be_v peccant_a both_o in_o the_o doctrine_n liturgy_n and_o discipline_n of_o it_o and_o in_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o that_o they_o neither_o will_v nor_o can_v join_v in_o communion_n with_o it_o and_o therefore_o separate_v from_o it_o and_o betake_v themselves_o to_o their_o own_o private_a opinion_n and_o congregation_n but_o my_o lord_n he_o equivocate_v both_o with_o god_n and_o man_n and_o tell_v we_o he_o believe_v there_o be_v true_a church_n in_o england_n and_o a_o true_a ministry_n which_o he_o hear_v and_o this_o no_o separatist_n that_o understand_v himself_o but_o will_v say_v as_o fast_o as_o he_o but_o let_v his_o lordship_n come_v home_o to_o the_o business_n direct_o and_o plain_o let_v he_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o true_a church_n that_o the_o ministry_n of_o it_o be_v a_o true_a ministry_n that_o the_o doctrine_n liturgy_n and_o discipline_n of_o it_o as_o it_o stand_v establish_v now_o by_o law_n be_v free_a from_o any_o such_o corruption_n as_o give_v just_a cause_n for_o a_o separation_n and_o when_o he_o have_v say_v this_o let_v he_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o it_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o then_o he_o shall_v wrong_v my_o lord_n very_o deep_o that_o say_v he_o be_v a_o separatist_n but_o for_o all_o this_o which_o he_o have_v yet_o say_v for_o himself_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o a_o separatist_n he_o be_v and_o i_o doubt_v have_v hereby_o prove_v himself_o whether_o i_o will_v or_o no_o the_o great_a separatist_n in_o england_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v little_a cause_n to_o hope_v as_o he_o say_v he_o do_v that_o he_o shall_v stand_v right_a in_o their_o lordship_n opinion_n or_o any_o other_o man_n that_o be_v not_o possess_v with_o the_o same_o humour_n yet_o my_o lord_n have_v two_o request_n to_o make_v i_o will_v now_o end_v with_o two_o request_n the_o one_o that_o your_o lordship_n will_v please_v to_o pardon_v i_o for_o trouble_v you_o with_o so_o long_a a_o discourse_n concern_v myself_o i_o have_v not_o use_v it_o heretofore_o and_o i_o be_o not_o like_a to_o offend_v again_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n it_o be_v but_o once_o and_o your_o lordship_n will_v consider_v the_o occasion_n in_o this_o suit_n be_v there_o need_v i_o will_v join_v with_o my_o lord_n for_o though_o i_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hard_a measure_n put_v upon_o i_o in_o this_o speech_n yet_o i_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v content_a with_o it_o because_o this_o whole_a discourse_n of_o my_o lord_n well_o weigh_v be_v more_o against_o himself_o then_o i_o and_o such_o trouble_v of_o his_o lordship_n i_o hope_v all_o man_n well_o affect_v to_o the_o present_a church_n of_o england_n will_v easy_o pardon_v and_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o lordship_n and_o all_o man_n else_o will_v the_o rather_o do_v when_o they_o consider_v the_o occasion_n which_o certain_o i_o give_v not_o personal_o in_o the_o house_n but_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n it_o seem_v will_v needs_o be_v mean_v the_o second_o request_n be_v to_o entreat_v of_o you_o that_o where_o you_o know_v there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n worship_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n and_o cause_v a_o unblamable_a conversation_n without_o any_o offence_n to_o the_o state_n in_o your_o brethren_n who_o in_o all_o these_o concur_v with_o you_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o for_o ceremony_n and_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o you_o but_o not_o to_o they_o but_o burden_n which_o without_o offence_n to_o the_o state_n or_o prejudice_n to_o the_o church_n you_o may_v take_v off_o if_o you_o will_v to_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o the_o land_n and_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n for_o if_o you_o thus_o shall_v wound_v the_o conscience_n of_o your_o brethren_n you_o will_v certain_o offend_v and_o sin_n against_o christ._n in_o this_o second_o request_n i_o can_v easy_o agree_v with_o my_o lord_n in_o some_o thing_n but_o must_v differ_v in_o other_o and_o first_o i_o agree_v with_o all_o my_o 1._o heart_n that_o i_o will_v have_v no_o pressure_n at_o all_o much_o less_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n put_v upon_o they_o who_o be_v know_v to_o worship_v the_o same_o god_n to_o embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n but_o in_o this_o i_o must_v disagree_v that_o the_o separatist_n for_o they_o be_v the_o man_n of_o who_o this_o lord_n speak_v thus_o and_o say_v they_o be_v your_o brethren_n and_o concur_v with_o you_o in_o all_o these_o be_v not_o know_v to_o be_v such_o for_o though_o he_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n who_o they_o worship_v yet_o the_o worship_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o my_o lord_n say_v plain_o that_o our_o set_a form_n be_v superstition_n and_o that_o he_o can_v join_v in_o communion_n with_o we_o till_o our_o
