now_o long_o since_o past_a four_o upon_o the_o same_o clear_a reason_n and_o ground_n why_o the_o old_a testament_n law_n for_o punish_v false_a prophet_n &c_n &c_n shall_v not_o now_o be_v in_o force_n because_o the_o jew_n in_o all_o difficult_a case_n about_o religion_n may_v have_v immediate_a and_o infallible_a answer_n from_o god_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o all_o scripture_n

point_n of_o error_n shall_v not_o bind_v now_o and_o so_o whatever_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n for_o punish_a error_n and_o heresy_n whether_o by_o civil_a punishment_n or_o eccle●iasticall_a censure_n shall_v be_v all_o evade_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v and_o be_v say_v against_o the_o place_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o in_o the_o time_n when_o the_o gospel_n act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o epistle_n be_v write_v the_o church_n have_v apostle_n and_o prophet_n who_o be_v immediate_o inspire_v and_o infallible_a and_o can_v in_o all_o

after_o the_o first_o and_o second_o admonition_n may_v be_v reject_v and_o hymeneus_n and_o alexander_n deliver_v unto_o satan_n and_o jezabel_n for_o seduce_v censure_v because_o christ_n be_v always_o at_o hand_n by_o apostle_n or_o prophet_n to_o declare_v unto_o they_o infallible_o who_o be_v heretic_n and_o seducer_n whereas_o now_o since_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n be_v cease_v and_o all_o extraordinary_a way_n the_o best_a oracle_n minister_n and_o people_n have_v to_o direct_v they_o in_o doubtful_a case_n about_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v man_n of_o very_a fallible_a

at_o noon_n day_n the_o socinian_o upon_o this_o very_a ground_n plead_v against_o excommunication_n and_o all_o church_n censure_v in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n now_o however_o in_o use_n in_o the_o
