of_o your_o new_a conceit_n i_o shall_v here_o have_v end_v but_o that_o there_o come_v to_o mind_n a_o argument_n of_o some_o weight_n with_o the_o particular_n of_o it_o much_o make_v against_o your_o new_a way_n which_o i_o desire_v to_o proffer_n to_o your_o consideration_n it_o be_v thus_o what_o way_n or_o opinion_n be_v contrary_a to_o any_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n any_o

this_o of_o you_o which_o deny_v the_o set_n up_o of_o visible_a church_n in_o right_a order_n official_a ministry_n and_o call_v thereunto_o and_o the_o exercise_n of_o discipline_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v of_o god_n but_o a_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n be_v in_o it_o to_o make_v good_a the_o minor_a of_o which_o only_o the_o doubt_n can_v be_v it_o be_v first_o contrary_a to_o the_o second_o commandment_n as_o the_o negative_a of_o that_o commandment_n do_v forbid_v unto_o man_n all_o false_a and_o devise_a mean_n of_o god_n worship_n so_o the_o affirmative_a according_a to_o the_o receive_a rule_n of_o interpret_n the_o commandment_n do_v command_n to_o we_o the_o use_n of_o all_o mean_n of_o worship_n appoint_v by_o the_o lord_n now_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v for_o that_o purpose_n two_o sort_n of_o mean_n the_o one_o more_o principal_a as_o direct_o tend_v to_o the_o exercise_n and_o nourish_v of_o faith_n hope_n and_o love_n viz._n preach_v the_o word_n administration_n of_o sacrament_n public_a prayer_n the_o other_o less_o principal_a as_o conduce_v to_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o former_a and_o tend_v to_o god_n worship_n as_o their_o proper_a end_n such_o be_v church-society_n official-ministry_n and_o a_o due_a call_n to_o it_o exercise_n of_o discipline_n which_o that_o commandment_n do_v enjoin_v as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a and_o which_o can_v be_v witting_o and_o common_o omit_v without_o breach_n of_o it_o second_o it_o be_v against_o the_o four_o commandment_n which_o as_o it_o command_v the_o sanctify_n of_o the_o

better_a sanctify_v of_o it_o and_o who_o can_v deny_v who_o be_v not_o wilful_o wed_v to_o his_o self-conceit_n that_o gather_v and_o order_v church_n in_o distinct_a society_n and_o a_o official_a ministry_n right_o call_v do_v much_o avail_v hereunto_o and_o that_o the_o lordsday_n be_v much_o better_o sanctify_v in_o such_o society_n and_o such_o a_o ministry_n then_o in_o confuse_a assembly_n that_o be_v without_o order_n and_o without_o any_o orderly_a ministry_n now_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v moral_a perpetual_a and_o bind_v always_o second_o it_o be_v against_o the_o two_o first_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n wherein_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v that_o god_n name_n may_v be_v hallow_v second_o that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v come_v now_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v for_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o pursue_v the_o promote_n of_o it_o by_o all_o god_n mean_n for_o to_o pray_v for_o this_o or_o that_o and_o not_o to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o use_n of_o all_o good_a mean_n to_o obtain_v or_o promote_v it_o be_v to_o dally_v with_o god_n and_o to_o mock_v he_o now_o the_o set_n up_o of_o visible_a church_n of_o a_o orderly_a
