that_o he_o will_v move_v the_o parliament_n to_o remove_v this_o form_n so_o except_v against_o and_o corrupt_v in_o the_o general_a composure_n of_o it_o and_o what_o ever_o other_o they_o

another_o evil_n of_o this_o treatise_n which_o need_v cure_v it_o have_v breed_v in_o some_o and_o nourish_v in_o other_o a_o opinion_n that_o our_o church_n be_v not_o church_n nor_o our_o

sacrament_n and_o that_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n be_v general_o corrupt_v than_o it_o want_v a_o three_o mark_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n for_o answer_n i_o conceive_v a_o distinction_n suggest_v by_o the_o assertor_n of_o the_o scotch_a discipline_n to_o be_v very_o true_a and_o here_o pertinent_a p._n 196._o a_o visible_a church_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o metaphysical_o or_o

in_o the_o former_a sense_n though_o not_o in_o the_o latter_a &_o be_v a_o true_a church_n in_o the_o former_a sense_n her_o member_n may_v communicate_v together_o in_o these_o holy_a thing_n which_o fall_v under_o the_o power_n of_o order_n which_o may_v be_v call_v sacra_fw-la mystica_fw-la as_o word_n prayer_n sacrament_n though_o not_o insuch_v thing_n as_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o jurisdiction_n for_o his_o objection_n about_o sacrament_n the_o first_o i_o hope_v have_v receive_v already_o sufficient_a answer_n for_o his_o second_o objection_n of_o pell_n mell_o admission_n to_o the_o sacrament_n if_o he_o dispute_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o general_a he_o must_v consider_v what_o her_o law_n be_v not_o what_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o be_v it_o be_v true_a the_o law_n enjoin_v all_o to_o come_v but_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o the_o same_o law_n forbid_v those_o that_o be_v in_o contention_n or_o be_v otherwise_o offensive_a to_o

the_o discipline_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v set_v up_o in_o every_o congregation_n and_o this_o will_v be_v a_o better_a or_o weakly_o manage_v as_o the_o minister_n and_o member_n be_v grow_v in_o christ_n if_o then_o any_o christian_a be_v where_o great_a scandal_n be_v they_o may_v remove_v to_o other_o congregation_n that_o have_v attain_v a_o better_a degree_n of_o reformation_n and_o this_o without_o any_o breach_n his_o next_o quaere_fw-la be_v what_o nationall_n government_n shall_v be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o parliament_n for_o which_o he_o hearty_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v direct_v they_o in_o so_o glorious_a a_o work_n and_o bless_v god_n for_o such_o instrument_n for_o such_o a_o work_n i_o thank_v he_o for_o his_o affection_n but_o yet_o if_o his_o doctrine_n of_o the_o independency_n of_o church_n be_v sound_a this_o prayer_n can_v be_v of_o faith_n for_o a_o man_n can_v pray_v in_o faith_n that_o man_n shall_v meddle_v with_o that_o which_o be_v not_o within_o their_o sphere_n or_o call_v and_o sure_a if_o independency_n be_v a_o liberty_n of_o christ_n all_o the_o parliament_n have_v to_o do_v be_v to_o assert_v this_o liberty_n and_o what_o be_v more_o be_v but_o usurpation_n then_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o government_n of_o a_o nationall_n church_n have_v no_o pattern_n in_o the_o word_n the_o full_a answer_n of_o that_o i_o refer_v to_o the_o assertion_n of_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o will_v give_v good_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o indifferent_a reader_n afterward_o he_o discover_v i_o think_v too_o much_o uncharitableness_n and_o self_n love_n when_o he_o affirm_v let_v they_o have_v their_o liberty_n and_o do_v for_o the_o rest_n what_o they_o will_v it_o be_v indifferent_a to_o they_o a_o little_a more_o care_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o christian_n may_v better_a suit_n with_o those_o that_o so_o far_o transcend_v other_o in_o outward_a reformation_n his_o last_o objection_n be_v inconveniency_n of_o independent_a church_n if_o they_o err_v as_o they_o may_v they_o want_v mean_n of_o reclaim_v which_o be_v better_o set_v on_o by_o the_o scotch_a assertor_n yet_o he_o have_v say_v more_o than_o he_o have_v well_o answer_v for_o have_v name_v all_o the_o mean_n which_o their_o independency_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o be_v conscious_a it_o seem_v that_o they_o be_v too_o weak_a he_o add_v 2_o other_o that_o quite_o destroy_v the_o independency_n as_o first_o that_o other_o church_n may_v excommunicate_v they_o how_o be_v they_o independent_a if_o under_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o other_o church_n or_o how_o can_v they_o be_v excommunicate_v by_o those_o under_o who_o jurisdiction_n they_o be_v not_o sure_o this_o be_v worse_a dependence_n then_o under_o the_o presbytery_n where_o a_o part_n be_v only_o subject_v to_o the_o whole_a but_o here_o a_o part_n be_v subject_v to_o a_o part_n and_o this_o second_o be_v no_o better_o for_o if_o they_o be_v under_o the_o magistrate_n for_o any_o haeresy_n why_o not_o for_o all_o those_o that_o be_v guilty_a will_v not_o confess_v any_o of_o their_o heresy_n for_o know_a heresy_n but_o assert_v they_o for_o truth_n and_o so_o challenge_v exception_n for_o they_o aswell_o as_o any_o and_o if_o that_o be_v a_o know_a heresy_n which_o be_v such_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o magistrate_n they_o for_o all_o heresy_n they_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o censure_v &_o their_o independency_n be_v a_o nullity_n thus_o have_v i_o go_v through_o this_o whole_a discourse_n without_o endeavour_v to_o stifle_v but_o rather_o sincere_o to_o search_v out_o what_o be_v truth_n in_o every_o particular_a it_o be_v my_o desire_n and_o prayer_n that_o i_o may_v do_v nothing_o against_o but_o for_o the_o truth_n rather_o will_v i_o desire_v that_o god_n shall_v bring_v i_o forth_o to_o the_o severe_a suffering_n for_o the_o truth_n then_o leave_v i_o though_o in_o simplicity_n of_o heart_n to_o oppose_v any_o the_o least_o truth_n what_o remain_v but_o that_o while_o we_o that_o mind_n the_o same_o thing_n christ_n honour_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n and_o right_a performance_n of_o his_o ordinance_n and_o differ_v only_o in_o the_o way_n labour_v to_o keep_v unity_n of_o heart_n till_o we_o have_v unity_n of_o judgement_n and_o let_v our_o prayer_n be_v unite_v at_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n though_o our_o person_n be_v in_o different_a society_n that_o god_n may_v persuade_v the_o night-wanderer_n into_o the_o tent_n of_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v the_o better_a light_n that_o god_n may_v have_v the_o more_o honour_n and_o we_o the_o more_o strength_n &_o comfort_n by_o our_o free_a and_o scruple-lesse_a consociation_n which_o mercy_n the_o lord_n vouchsafe_v for_o jesus_n christ_n his_o sake_n by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n lead_v into_o all_o truth_n to_o who_o
