will_v easy_o be_v determine_v in_o matter_n of_o public_a worship_n for_o uniformity_n therein_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n which_o to_o prevent_v scandal_n and_o division_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a and_o that_o this_o uniformity_n may_v be_v obtain_v i_o conceive_v that_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v take_v notice_n of_o 1._o that_o in_o and_o about_o the_o act_n of_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n some_o thing_n be_v his_o own_o immediate_a ordinance_n some_o thing_n be_v not_o of_o that_o nature_n 2._o his_o own_o immediate_a ordinance_n as_o they_o be_v

with_o the_o church_n officer_n 7._o the_o limit_n of_o the_o joint_a power_n in_o case_n of_o a_o mix_a nature_n be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o their_o different_a object_n end_n and_o property_n of_o fundamental_a right_n and_o law_n of_o government_n by_o which_o they_o attain_v their_o end_n several_o 8._o no_o particular_a church_n lose_v she_o right_o to_o order_n within_o herself_o matter_n of_o particular_a edification_n only_o the_o occasion_n of_o scandal_n to_o other_o must_v be_v avoid_v and_o may_v be_v prevent_v by_o a_o brotherly_a communication_n of_o reason_n why_o thing_n

i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o question_n wherein_o the_o remedy_n of_o the_o breach_n betwixt_o they_o and_o their_o brethren_n be_v to_o be_v think_v upon_o in_o case_n the_o state_n shall_v not_o yield_v unto_o that_o toleration_n which_o they_o do_v require_v in_o this_o case_n two_o thing_n must_v be_v suppose_v first_o that_o the_o state_n will_v find_v no_o such_o satisfaction_n in_o their_o way_n as_o to_o think_v indifferent_o of_o it_o second_o that_o they_o of_o the_o non-communion_n can_v find_v as_o little_a satisfaction_n in_o the_o presbyterial_a government_n for_o if_o either_o of_o these_o be_v they_o will_v either_o get_v a_o toleration_n or_o need_v none_o the_o way_n must_v be_v then_o either_o to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o their_o brethren_n or_o to_o receive_v it_o from_o they_o i_o will_v advise_v then_o that_o they_o shall_v labour_v to_o beget_v a_o good_a understanding_n betwixt_o they_o and_o their_o brethren_n for_o if_o their_o difference_n do_v arise_v from_o a_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n the_o state_n be_v no_o competent_a judge_n thereof_o but_o it_o shall_v be_v bring_v unto_o the_o tribunal_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o judge_v by_o his_o clear_a word_n among_o those_o that_o be_v officer_n in_o his_o kingdom_n and_o if_o it_o be_v no_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n than_o i_o see_v not_o why_o they_o shall_v stand_v so_o much_o upon_o it_o why_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o state_n shall_v be_v trouble_v with_o it_o why_o the_o church_n keep_v in_o so_o dangerous_a uncertainty_n for_o it_o i_o suppose_v then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o scrupulositie_n of_o conscience_n rather_o than_o any_o worldly_a consideration_n which_o keep_v they_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o their_o brethren_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o the_o near_a way_n to_o receive_v satisfaction_n therein_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o man_n that_o make_v no_o less_o conscience_n of_o their_o way_n than_o they_o do_v who_o conscience_n be_v rule_v by_o the_o same_o principle_n that_o they_o be_v who_o be_v every_o way_n alike_o and_o equal_a with_o they_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o who_o seem_v to_o be_v offend_v at_o their_o carriage_n in_o the_o gospel_n as_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v offend_v at_o they_o therefore_o they_o be_v bind_v mutual_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o and_o to_o give_v satisfaction_n unto_o each_o other_o not_o shall_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n be_v trouble_v with_o a_o judicature_n of_o mere_a spiritual_a matter_n now_o the_o best_a way_n to_o deal_v with_o one_o another_o for_o a_o agreement_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v this_o that_o either_o shall_v propose_v to_o the_o other_o a_o faithful_a promise_n of_o mutual_a love_n and_o willingness_n to_o yield_v one_o to_o another_o in_o that_o wherein_o they_o shall_v see_v the_o will_n of_o god_n direct_v they_o to_o further_a the_o mean_n of_o mutual_a and_o of_o public_a edification_n this_o promise_n be_v make_v they_o shall_v intend_v to_o declare_v each_o to_o other_o their_o sense_n of_o that_o wherein_o they_o conceive_v the_o mean_n of_o mutual_a and_o of_o public_a edification_n to_o stand_v now_o then_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o lay_v open_a my_o thought_n unto_o you_o that_o if_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o may_v be_v able_a to_o let_v they_o see_v that_o they_o real_o agree_v in_o all_o those_o mean_n which_o be_v any_o way_n fundamental_a and_o that_o the_o way_n of_o make_v use_n of_o the_o same_o may_v be_v intend_v uniformal_o by_o both_o side_n each_o towards_o other_o then_o their_o difference_n may_v be_v compose_v and_o their_o heart_n join_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o glory_n through_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n i_o be_o persuade_v then_o that_o they_o have_v both_o the_o same_o sense_n of_o the_o new-covenant_n of_o grace_n whereby_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n be_v join_v to_o god_n in_o christ_n this_o their_o sense_n of_o this_o fundamental_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n may_v be_v declare_v from_o the_o clear_a word_n of_o scripture_n which_o may_v be_v make_v a_o fundamental_a confession_n of_o
