be_v apply_v to_o the_o present_a case_n for_o sir_n you_o know_v how_o much_o you_o have_v depart_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o those_o famous_a nonconformist_n in_o many_o the_o most_o material_a point_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o can_v just_o be_v allow_v in_o this_o to_o make_v use_n of_o their_o authority_n it_o will_v i_o suppose_v be_v easy_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a improper_a thing_n for_o any_o to_o seem_v to_o magnify_v so_o much_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o worthy_a man_n as_o to_o press_v it_o now_o upon_o their_o brethren_n in_o the_o business_n of_o ceremony_n and_o conformity_n when_o they_o themselves_o refuse_v to_o follow_v they_o in_o their_o other_o more_o sound_a and_o substantial_a doctrine_n to_o give_v you_o a_o few_o instance_n first_o the_o former_a nonconformist_n hold_v armenianisme_n that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o of_o freewill_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n of_o universal_a grace_n and_o universal_a redemption_n to_o be_v so_o fundamental_a and_o dangerous_a a_o error_n that_o they_o have_v call_v it_o a_o beelzebub-error_n and_o another_o gospel_n but_o you_o do_v not_o only_o speak_v favourable_o of_o it_o but_o also_o proud_o tell_v we_o that_o of_o you_o be_v very_o confident_a 7._o not_o one_o of_o many_o hundred_o who_o speak_v against_o communion_n with_o arminian_n do_v understand_v what_o arminianism_n be_v as_o if_o the_o difference_n be_v either_o so_o small_a that_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o oppose_v it_o or_o else_o so_o abstruse_a and_o difficult_a that_o plain_a christian_n can_v not_o easy_o come_v to_o know_v it_o true_o sir_n i_o acknowledge_v myself_o the_o mean_a of_o my_o brethren_n and_o yet_o i_o think_v who_o understand_v the_o necessity_n of_o be_v bear_v again_o and_o renew_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o understand_v his_o own_o free_a will_n have_v not_o the_o least_o power_n to_o receive_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o whoever_o do_v this_o know_v very_o well_o what_o arminianism_n be_v though_o perhaps_o he_o may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o name_n which_o be_v not_o at_o all_o material_a in_o the_o controversy_n and_o indeed_o i_o wonder_v you_o can_v so_o confident_o plead_v for_o communion_n with_o arminian_n and_o that_o with_o a_o etc._n etc._n too_o when_o you_o former_o tell_v we_o disputation_n that_o in_o the_o point_n of_o predestination_n redemption_n freewill_n effectual_a grace_n perseverance_n and_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n the_o jesuit_n and_o arminian_n do_v teach_v the_o same_o doctrine_n sir_n i_o hope_v you_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o enlarge_v your_o communion_n so_o far_o as_o to_o take_v in_o the_o jesuit_n also_o if_o you_o do_v pray_v deal_v clear_o with_o we_o and_o tell_v we_o so_o and_o do_v not_o delude_v we_o with_o a_o unlimited_a and_o untelligible_a etcetera_o second_o the_o former_a nonconformist_n do_v so_o full_o hold_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v upon_o its_o own_o authority_n and_o testimony_n that_o they_o all_o unanimous_o affirm_v it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n not_o to_o rest_v in_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n not_o to_o count_v it_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o you_o jesuite-like_a for_o i_o be_o sorry_a ●_o can_v give_v it_o a_o mild_a term_n be_v not_o afraid_a to_o say_v the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o not_o sufficient_o and_o particular_o which_o book_n in_o itself_o be_v canonical_a 35._o nor_o what_o various_a readins_n be_v the_o right_a nor_o whether_o every_o text_n be_v bring_v to_o we_o incorrupt_v so_o that_o in_o effect_n you_o do_v resolve_v the_o credit_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n into_o the_o truth_n of_o church-history_n which_o word_n be_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o true_a protestant_a doctrine_n so_o derogatory_n from_o the_o self-evidencing_a light_n and_o divine_a authority_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o so_o full_o agree_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o jesuit_n in_o this_o point_n that_o all_o which_o you_o have_v write_v pretend_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o scripture_n when_o indeed_o you_o betray_v it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v any_o tolerable_a satisfaction_n what_o need_v i_o mention_v more_o as_o that_o the_o former_a nonconformist_n think_v there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n for_o the_o papist_n no_o more_o than_o for_o a_o samaritan_n or_o a_o idolater_n but_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o 38._o you_o confess_v you_o affect_v not_o the_o honour_n of_o that_o orthodoxousness_n and_o in_o one_o of_o your_o book_n if_o i_o be_o not_o mistake_v in_o my_o collection_n you_o seem_v to_o affirm_v at_o least_o strong_o imply_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v save_v in_o any_o
