see_v there_o he_o have_v prove_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v even_o babylon_n a_o filthy_a cage_n of_o all_o unclean_a and_o hateful_a bird_n but_o

which_o you_o call_v your_o scout_n in_o your_o 8_o reason_n against_o independency_n and_o join_v and_o subjoin_v force_n against_o toleration_n moreover_o you_o say_v in_o your_o antipologia_fw-la that_o the_o anabaptist_n cast_v away_o their_o baptism_n receive_v in_o a_o false_a church_n because_o they_o will_v not_o put_v a_o new_a piece_n to_o a_o old_a garment_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o

see_v their_o mistake_n answer_n for_o they_o ought_v to_o discern_v between_o baptism_n in_o a_o false_a church_n which_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o that_o church_n have_v steal_v and_o

be_v prove_v before_o the_o calf_n and_o high_a place_n of_o jeroboam_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o and_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o demolish_v they_o because_o they_o be_v a_o curse_n to_o the_o

moreover_o in_o this_o your_o antipology_n you_o advance_v and_o extol_v your_o book_n against_o independency_n and_o toleration_n you_o say_v that_o the_o apologist_n mean_v that_o as_o well_o as_o other_o which_o be_v write_v with_o strength_n against_o their_o way_n and_o second_o you_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v argumentall_a and_o that_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v either_o all_o or_o some_o of_o they_o to_o have_v answer_v it_o i_o answer_v they_o know_v best_a what_o they_o have_v to_o do_v yet_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o do_v conceive_v it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v answer_v and_o therefore_o i_o answer_v it_o myself_o and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n ☞_o first_o because_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v wise_a in_o your_o own_o conceit_n second_o because_o i_o read_v that_o our_o

to_o every_o one_o that_o shall_v ask_v we_o and_o i_o consider_v the_o many_o question_n that_o you_o ask_v and_o the_o weakness_n of_o your_o reason_n and_o argument_n and_o the_o untruth_n of_o some_o of_o they_o and_o how_o contradictory_a they_o be_v to_o one_o another_o think_v it_o very_o easy_a to_o undermine_v and_o overthrow_v they_o therefore_o i_o answer_v they_o hold_v it_o meet_v for_o those_o who_o be_v more_o able_a not_o to_o trouble_v themselves_o therewith_o but_o to_o be_v employ_v in_o matter_n of_o far_o great_a and_o high_a concernment_n but_o see_v you_o be_v yet_o

to_o repeat_v the_o head_n of_o some_o of_o the_o chief_a of_o your_o argument_n that_o so_o rational_a man_n may_v consider_v whether_o they_o be_v true_o logical_a the_o substance_n of_o your_o first_o argument_n be_v this_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n can_v not_o stand_v without_o some_o other_o help_n ☞_o than_o apostle_n prophet_n evangelist_n pastor_n and_o

separate_a church_n be_v not_o of_o divine_a institution_n because_o it_o force_v they_o to_o have_v minister_n without_o ordination_n which_o thing_n be_v a_o untruth_n like_o your_o former_a as_o have_v be_v prove_v at_o large_a in_o the_o answer_n thereunto_o and_o there_o be_v divers_a untruth_n in_o this_o reason_n or_o section_n which_o have_v be_v answer_v as_o will_v plain_o appear_v to_o those_o that_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o read_v your_o book_n and_o i_o your_o three_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o christ_n will_v leave_v such_o a_o government_n that_o afford_v no_o way_n of_o appeal_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v answer_v at_o large_a that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o separat●●●●_n have_v true_a way_n of_o appeal_n but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v not_o these_o be_v your_o mighty_a argument_n of_o strength_n which_o deserve_v a_o answer_n though_o you_o prove_v none_o of_o they_o if_o the_o answer_n which_o i_o send_v you_o

in_o they_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v answer_v by_o scripture_n and_o

we_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o go_v to_o law_n with_o one_o another_o before_o those_o that_o be_v without_o for_o temporal_a thing_n much_o less_o about_o spiritual_a thing_n for_o the_o apostle_n have_v declare_v that_o the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n yea_o the_o angel_n if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o no_o understanding_n man_n can_v deny_v than_o it_o will_v be_v a_o more_o

book_n and_o so_o have_v be_v answer_v already_o yet_o to_o satisfy_v the_o reader_n more_o full_o i_o will_v here_o give_v answer_n unto_o they_o particular_o but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o and_o all_o man_n know_v that_o i_o do_v not_o neither_o do_v any_o that_o be_v true_o religious_a plead_v for_o such_o a_o toleration_n as_o you_o will_v father_n upon_o we_o even_o a_o toleration_n to_o sin_n we_o plead_v not_o for_o a_o toleration_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n who_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o that_o be_v to_o plead_v for_o a_o toleration_n for_o

a_o peaceable_a enjoyment_n of_o our_o liberty_n to_o worship_n god_n public_o according_a to_o his_o reveal_a word_n most_o especial_o upon_o that_o time_n institute_v for_o his_o public_a worship_n even_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o all_o the_o 6._o day_n we_o may_v follow_v our_o calling_n without_o fear_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o such_o unjust_a law_n which_o former_a parliament_n have_v make_v against_o such_o who_o will_v not_o come_v to_o their_o common_a prayer_n book_n or_o submit_v to_o all_o the_o order_n of_o the_o parish_n of_o england_n for_o such_o a_o toleration_n as_o this_o we_o plead_v in_o your_o first_o reason_n you_o affirm_v that_o a_o toleration_n of_o independent_a church_n and_o government_n with_o their_o opinion_n and_o practice_n be_v against_o the_o magistrate_n duty_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n but_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v the_o magistrate_n duty_n to_o tolerate_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o those_o practice_n which_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n but_o you_o will_v insinuate_v still_o your_o old_a slander_n that_o we_o plead_v for_o a_o toleration_n of_o heresy_n and_o schism_n which_o we_o know_v be_v against_o the_o magistrate_n duty_n and_o this_o make_v against_o your_o evil_a way_n for_o if_o a_o parliament_n may_v not_o as_o you_o say_v displease_v god_n to_o please_v man_n nor_o wink_v at_o evil_n to_o content_v some_o person_n and_o if_o parliament_n in_o make_v law_n for_o religion_n must_v depend_v on_o the_o will_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o some_o people_n then_o it_o be_v dangerous_a for_o a_o parliament_n to_o constrain_v man_n to_o submit_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o a_o synod_n or_o presbytery_n when_o neither_o the_o presbytery_n nor_o their_o decree_n have_v ground_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n your_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o toleration_n desire_v be_v against_o the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n take_v by_o the_o parliament_n and_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o the_o toleration_n desire_z come_v to_o late_a the_o door_n be_v shut_v ans._n here_o you_o lay_v a_o fearful_a aspersion_n upon_o the_o parliament_n for_o require_v such_o a_o oath_n and_o covenant_n persecute_v as_o if_o they_o intend_v to_o shut_v the_o kingdom_n of_o
