this_o that_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o suffer_a deprivation_n for_o refuse_v to_o conform_v to_o the_o prescribe_a ceremony_n do_v tend_v to_o condemn_v all_o church_n and_o godly_a

this_o conclusion_n that_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n and_o no_o error_n to_o teach_v a_o duty_n and_o no_o sin_n to_o practice_v the_o prescribe_a ceremony_n of_o the_o present_a church_n of_o england_n or_o the_o like_a rather_o than_o to_o violate_v and_o break_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n or_o that_o a_o minister_n shall_v suffer_v deprivation_n and_o so_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v interrupt_v or_o that_o a_o minister_n or_o any_o other_o christian_n shall_v separate_v themselves_o or_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o a_o true_a church_n wherefore_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o who_o justify_v the_o former_a must_v needs_o condemn_v the_o latter_a now_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o all_o orthodoxal_a church_n and_o teacher_n of_o all_o age_n and_o place_n since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o this_o judgement_n and_o practice_n and_o not_o of_o the_o

the_o restauration_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o declination_n of_o antichrist_n concern_v the_o primitive_a church_n and_o their_o teacher_n i_o will_v observe_v two_o point_n first_o the_o state_n
