this_o the_o scripture_n itself_o imply_v that_o person_n not_o only_o distance_v in_o their_o judgement_n about_o church-government_n but_o about_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n and_o truth_n of_o

shall_v be_v ignorant_a of_o such_o duty_n require_v of_o they_o by_o god_n in_o the_o four_o mention_a relation_n family_n parish_n bed_n kingdom_n the_o practice_n and_o performance_n whereof_o will_v strong_o and_o sweet_o unite_v and_o accord_v they_o in_o the_o say_a relation_n respective_o all_o these_o thing_n consider_v i_o can_v wonder_v a_o little_a that_o the_o gentleman_n who_o make_v so_o many_o question_n shall_v make_v that_o questionless_a in_o the_o negative_a which_o be_v so_o palpable_o plain_a and_o questionless_a in_o the_o affirmative_a but_o 6._o whereas_o i_o only_o argue_v and_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o repair_n of_o person_n out_o of_o several_a parish_n to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o ministry_n or_o pastor_n needs_o be_v no_o more_o trouble_n or_o

i_o thereby_o intend_v to_o prove_v or_o justify_v the_o congregationall_a government_n simple_o and_o according_o insist_o upon_o 3_o difference_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o i_o know_v nothing_o but_o that_o he_o may_v easy_o have_v find_v out_o not_o only_o 3_o but_o 23_o difference_n and_o have_v argue_v they_o all_o with_o as_o much_o pertinencie_n to_o his_o purpose_n as_o he_o have_v do_v the_o three_o for_o we_o do_v not_o urge_v the_o analogy_n of_o the_o government_n of_o company_n of_o corporation_n in_o all_o the_o relation_n or_o appurtenance_n belong_v to_o it_o as_o any_o ground_n or_o proof_n of_o the_o congregationall_a government_n we_o be_v better_o provide_v in_o this_o kind_n then_o so_o we_o only_o urge_v the_o particular_a mention_v to_o accommodate_v and_o heal_v the_o pretend_a offensivenesse_n in_o the_o like_a in_o this_o government_n notwithstanding_o let_v we_o brief_o see_v what_o advantage_n he_o have_v get_v against_o the_o independent_a way_n by_o his_o 3_o great_a difference_n find_v between_o several_a trade_n and_o hals_n in_o one_o city_n parish_n kingdom_n and_o several_a form_n of_o church-government_n as_o to_o the_o first_o we_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o without_o dispute_n as_o he_o make_v it_o whether_o all_o trade_n society_n bold_a one_o another_o lawful_a useful_a necessary_a agreeable_a to_o the_o

we_o this_o whereas_o he_o infer_v upon_o it_o that_o so_o they_o breed_v no_o contrariety_n of_o opinion_n or_o disaffection_n etc._n etc._n we_o answer_v 2._o that_o certain_o experience_n do_v not_o manifest_v this_o contention_n difference_n disaffection_n yea_o and_o lawsuit_n sometime_o between_o trade_n and_o trade_n society_n and_o society_n be_v know_v occurrence_n in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n whereas_o he_o add_v that_o each_o different_a church_n deem_v the_o other_o unlawful_a so_o as_o they_o can_v with_o safe_a conscience_n join_v or_o communicate_v together_o and_o thereupon_o sever_v one_o from_o another_o we_o answer_v 3._o that_o according_a to_o mr._n prynne_v notion_n of_o church-government_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o each_o different_a church_n shall_v judge_v the_o other_o unlawful_a etc._n etc._n because_o he_o suppose_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o indulgent_a in_o this_o behalf_n as_o to_o leave_v room_n enough_o for_o variety_n of_o form_n of_o this_o government_n so_o that_o if_o he_o will_v but_o give_v other_o leave_v to_o be_v of_o his_o judgement_n this_o reason_n of_o his_o fall_n to_o the_o ground_n but_o four_o and_o last_o though_o each_o different_a church_n do_v deem_v the_o other_o unlawful_a and_o so_o can_v with_o safe_a conscience_n communicate_v together_o in_o church-ship_n yet_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o that_o they_o may_v judge_v and_o think_v as_o well_o one_o of_o another_o person_n and_o consequent_o love_v and_o affect_v one_o another_o and_o combine_v together_o as_o affectionate_o as_o person_n of_o several_a trade_n and_o society_n do_v who_o have_v no_o more_o communion_n together_o in_o their_o respective_a trade_n then_o different_a church_n have_v in_o their_o respective_a church_n yea_o there_o be_v far_o better_a ground_n as_o have_v be_v partly_o touch_v already_o why_o different_a church_n though_o they_o deemeach_v other_o unlawful_a shall_v yet_o think_v better_o of_o yea_o and_o love_v the_o respective_a member_n each_o of_o other_o then_o there_o be_v that_o person_n of_o several_a trade_n or_o member_n of_o several_a civil_a society_n shall_v do_v either_o
