A45163	Union pursued, in a letter to Mr. Baxter, concerning his late book of national churches published for a fuller disquisition about this subject, by the sober and composed of all sides, in order to comprehension which hath been forming, and a larger constitution of the church to be formed, when that Day of Concord comes, which the gentle aspect of Heaven in God's appointment (and the King's) of so many choice moderate bishops together at this time does presage to the nation, that the Presbyterians and Independants, that have united within themselves, may both be united also with the Church of England / by a lover of Him, and follower of peace.

i_o my_o seek_v from_o you_o more_o illumination_n for_o your_o proof_n of_o national_a church_n to_o be_v of_o christ_n institution_n from_o his_o own_o be_v king_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o head_n of_o

may_v do_v it_o and_o do_v it_o we_o may_v suppose_v as_o king_n or_o head_n of_o the_o church_n universal_a indeed_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o christ_n during_o his_o life_n be_v king_n only_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o power_n therefore_o of_o commissiovate_a his_o apostle_n to_o go_v any_o where_o else_o for_o convert_v people_n which_o be_v the_o make_v they_o

of_o divine_a right_n the_o governor_n of_o it_o or_o the_o bishop_n can_v alter_v nothing_o but_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n who_o yet_o be_v themselves_o member_n we_o may_v well_o conceive_v they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o find_v a_o time_n for_o their_o own_o relief_n and_o i_o do_v more_o especial_o hope_n that_o the_o reduction_n of_o archbishop_n usher_n will_v be_v take_v into_o

hard_a departure_n of_o the_o easy_a sort_n i_o reckon_v the_o ceremony_n which_o i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o they_o may_v part_v with_o and_o with_o no_o more_o grievance_n than_o with_o the_o rain_n from_o off_o their_o hat_n or_o the_o grease_n from_o off_o their_o clothes_n as_o for_o the_o hard_a sort_n if_o the_o dissenter_n shall_v require_v of_o the_o bishop_n to_o forgo_v the_o liturgy_n and_o use_v none_o this_o be_v too_o hard_o this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o thrust_n at_o the_o church_n breast_n and_o she_o may_v just_o bid_v a_o man_n stand_v off_o if_o they_o be_v not_o against_o
