to_o subscribe_v and_o be_v no_o minister_n for_o if_o i_o take_v a_o live_n i_o must_v subscribe_v this_o declaration_n again_o which_o i_o shall_v not_o scruple_n to_o do_v in_o my_o former_a

bind_v so_o far_o and_o as_o for_o go_v to_o church_n it_o be_v what_o i_o be_o wont_a to_o do_v without_o subscription_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o word_n in_o this_o subscription_n that_o confine_v the_o subscriber_n so_o to_o go_v to_o church_n as_o that_o he_o may_v never_o go_v to_o other_o meeting_n upon_o any_o occasion_n it_o be_v excessive_o rigorous_a to_o stretch_v the_o word_n so_o far_o and_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o a_o hundred_o that_o will_v rational_o gather_v that_o this_o be_v the_o parliament_n mean_v by_o this_o subscription_n if_o it_o be_v i_o declare_v my_o exception_n i_o must_v moreover_o signify_v that_o in_o subscribe_v i_o will_v conform_v to_o the_o lyturgy_n i_o do_v not_o oblige_v myself_o to_o every_o thing_n whatsoever_o that_o

and_o i_o do_v not_o apprehend_v that_o by_o conform_v to_o the_o lyturgy_n it_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n meaning_n i_o shall_v be_v engage_v to_o this_o who_o do_v not_o and_o will_v not_o engage_v myself_o to_o that_o which_o i_o shall_v never_o perform_v for_o i_o shall_v use_v my_o own_o prayer_n at_o home_n indeed_o i_o think_v that_o what_o minister_n soever_o do_v make_v the_o declaration_n of_o assent_n and_o consent_n to_o all_o and_o every_o thing_n contain_v in_o and_o prescribe_v by_o that_o book_n he_o must_v be_v according_a to_o the_o lawgiver_n mean_v engage_v

other_o in_o fine_a if_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o clause_n come_v to_o no_o more_o in_o my_o state_n than_o go_v to_o church_n and_o of_o the_o other_o two_o to_o no_o more_o than_o i_o have_v deliver_v then_o may_v i_o very_o safe_o yield_v to_o this_o subscription_n and_o if_o i_o be_o to_o do_v what_o i_o can_v both_o in_o regard_n to_o the_o five_o commandment_n and_o in_o regard_n to_o the_o unite_n and_o strengthen_v the_o protestant_a interest_n and_o in_o regard_n to_o the_o use_n of_o my_o ministry_n i_o charge_v my_o brethren_n by_o the_o way_n to_o lay_v these_o three_o thing_n with_o i_o well_o to_o heart_n for_o real_o i_o stick_v great_o for_o want_v of_o their_o company_n or_o at_o least_o the_o free_a use_n of_o it_o to_o preach_v in_o public_a then_o be_v it_o not_o only_o lawful_a but_o what_o it_o seem_v i_o be_o bind_v to_o do_v nevertheless_o because_o i_o be_o not_o certain_a or_o at_o least_o not_o so_o certain_o persuade_v of_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n as_o to_o be_v in_o regard_n to_o all_o particular_n beyond_o doubt_n and_o because_o i_o shall_v be_v apt_a to_o be_v raise_v scruple_n after_o i_o must_v for_o the_o prevent_v my_o

suppose_v it_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n and_o with_o these_o explanatory_a limitation_n to_o the_o meaning_n if_o in_o any_o thing_n indeed_o it_o be_v otherwise_o i_o do_v subscribe_v the_o declaration_n require_v to_o be_v subscribe_v in_o the_o act_n for_o uniformity_n whensoever_o i_o set_v my_o hand_n to_o the_o bishop_n register_n book_n who_o i_o desire_v by_o these_o

with_o my_o first_o sheet_n foreprized_a explication_n i_o know_v there_o be_v no_o body_n of_o a_o deliberate_a understanding_n but_o he_o do_v and_o must_v make_v some_o interpretation_n of_o the_o

large_a as_o it_o will_v if_o he_o have_v any_o at_o all_o but_o i_o must_v profess_v this_o be_v not_o satisfactory_a to_o i_o without_o a_o declaration_n also_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o such_o of_o they_o which_o you_o may_v see_v in_o my_o former_a sheet_n as_o i_o do_v scruple_n i_o will_v as_o honest_o give_v my_o reason_n and_o it_o be_v because_o if_o i_o assent_v to_o the_o article_n and_o

certain_o in_o my_o judgement_n dissent_v from_o it_o i_o may_v instance_n in_o the_o 18_o and_o the_o 11_o article_n but_o i_o refer_v to_o my_o two_o first_o step_n it_o may_v be_v say_v it_o be_v

be_v the_o sole_a imposer_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v a_o notion_n but_o new_o rise_v up_o in_o my_o mind_n and_o if_o it_o prove_v right_a after_o due_a canvas_n then_o must_v we_o look_v into_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o king_n whether_o james_n or_o charles_n or_o both_o which_o be_v set_v before_o the_o article_n to_o find_v out_o what_o that_o sense_n be_v which_o be_v there_o ratify_v and_o we_o have_v these_o word_n we_o will_v that_o no_o man_n put_v his_o own_o comment_n to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o article_n but_o shall_v take_v it_o in_o the_o literal_a and_o

do_v subscribe_v they_o and_o every_o one_o plead_v they_o in_o favour_n of_o his_o own_o opinion_n i_o must_v ask_v they_o next_o whether_o this_o literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n be_v to_o be_v

which_o it_o express_o declare_v and_o then_o to_o burn_v the_o book_n for_o it_o if_o i_o may_v use_v the_o word_n of_o no_o less_o than_o a_o bishop_n who_o have_v read_v both_o the_o decree_n and_o

on_o a_o explication_n it_o be_v a_o good_a while_n long_o before_o i_o can_v be_v satisfy_v how_o to_o do_v it_o unless_o i_o may_v put_v my_o explication_n to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o declaration_n and_o so_o set_v my_o hand_n to_o both_o together_o i_o endeavour_v therefore_o and_o make_v trial_n whether_o i_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o do_v so_o but_o can_v not_o obtain_v it_o i_o acknowledge_v

to_o come_v to_o this_o to_o grant_v what_o the_o law_n allow_v if_o some_o of_o they_o will_v yet_o do_v that_o here_o be_v two_o step_n than_o i_o have_v make_v and_o the_o three_o i_o be_o to_o

when_o my_o stand_n be_v but_o precarious_a before_o well!_o i_o do_v consider_v in_o the_o sheriff_n case_n to_o what_o resolution_n or_o latitude_n the_o author_n of_o that_o paper_n come_v about_o the_o oxford_n oath_n let_v we_o suppose_v a_o man_n convince_v that_o the_o interpretation_n offer_v in_o regard_n to_o the_o oath_n and_o in_o regard_n to_o this_o declaration_n be_v probable_o the_o very_a meaning_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n but_o he_o be_v not_o persuade_v beyond_o all_o doubt_n and_o he_o will_v have_v something_o for_o his_o relief_n in_o regard_n to_o that_o doubt_n for_o
