to_o the_o point_n already_o 1._o it_o be_v well_o they_o acknowledge_v our_o parochial_a congregation_n to_o be_v true_a church_n though_o it_o be_v but_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n for_o be_v such_o

that_o mr._n h._n mean_v such_o as_o of_o right_a aught_o to_o be_v excommunicate_v by_o the_o church_n for_o his_o meaning_n they_o may_v be_v sure_o he_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o church_n member_n

but_o how_o will_v these_o gentleman_n prove_v that_o the_o great_a part_n in_o a_o parish_n be_v such_o as_o of_o right_a aught_o to_o be_v excommunicate_v and_o never_o put_v it_o to_o the_o trial_n whether_o their_o sinfulness_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n for_o which_o excommunication_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v inflict_v it_o be_v obstinacy_n and_o wilful_a persist_v in_o gross_a sin_n after_o private_a and_o public_a admonition_n that_o be_v to_o be_v punish_v with_o excommunication_n and_o how_o can_v they_o know_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o a_o parish_n do_v so_o sin_n when_o they_o never_o admonish_v they_o either_o private_o or_o public_o sure_o there_o must_v be_v a_o clear_a conviction_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o all_o fair_a and_o amicable_a christian_a mean_n
