A57860	A rational defence of non-conformity wherein the practice of nonconformists is vindicated from promoting popery, and ruining the church, imputed to them by Dr. Stillingfleet in his Unreasonableness of separation : also his arguments from the principles and way of the reformers, and first dissenters are answered : and the case of the present separation, truly stated, and the blame of it laid where it ought to be : and the way to union among Protestants is pointed at / by Gilbert Rule ...

and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v assert_v by_o our_o brethren_n that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o

the_o 5_o 6_o and_o seven_o verse_n of_o psal._n 14._o be_v not_o in_o the_o hebrew_n many_o chapter_n of_o the_o bible_n be_v never_o read_v in_o the_o church_n at_o all_o and_o instead_o of_o they_o

yea_o with_o justle_a out_o the_o word_n of_o god._n this_o we_o judge_v a_o deprave_a of_o god_n ordinance_n these_o apocriphical_a write_n though_o they_o be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v divine_a scripture_n yet_o they_o be_v so_o place_v with_o it_o and_o in_o its_o stead_n and_o no_o hint_n give_v of_o their_o humane_a original_a that_o the_o people_n can_v but_o look_v on_o they_o as_o

minister_n from_o read_v such_o portion_n of_o scripture_n to_o the_o people_n as_o suit_v the_o present_a case_n of_o they_o or_o of_o the_o church_n also_o the_o appoint_v one_o piece_n to_o be_v
