wrong_n because_o it_o be_v no_o divine_a divide_v necessity_n by_o any_o ordinance_n of_o god_n word_n which_o by_o the_o contrary_a couple_n these_o two_o duty_n together_o but_o it_o be_v a_o humane_a divide_v necessity_n by_o violence_n of_o man_n enforce_v authority_n weak_a because_o experience_n our_o schoolmistresse_n may_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o lord_n ofttimes_o keep_v together_o in_o the_o person_n of_o faithful_a preacher_n these_o two_o duty_n in_o their_o performance_n experience_n prove_v this_o in_o the_o person_n of_o sundry_a who_o be_v violent_o thrust_v out_o from_o their_o particular_a charge_n thus_o divine_a providence_n stand_v out_o against_o your_o humane_a violence_n again_o for_o far_a answer_n i_o will_v let_v you_o see_v the_o inequality_n or_o different_a quality_n of_o these_o these_o two_o duty_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n be_v a_o affirmative_a duty_n and_o respect_n the_o do_v of_o good_a not_o to_o practice_v inconvenient_a ceremony_n be_v a_o negative_a duty_n and_o respect_v the_o not_o do_v of_o evil_a now_o the_o affirmative_a may_v be_v without_o sin_n in_o some_o case_n and_o sometime_o and_o place_n omit_v as_o when_o one_o can_v neither_o keep_v nor_o redeem_v the_o liberty_n of_o preach_v unless_o he_o enter_v his_o conscience_n captive_a to_o some_o one_o sin_n or_o other_o but_o the_o negative_a can_v in_o respect_n of_o any_o circumstance_n be_v omit_v without_o sin_n because_o to_o omit_v the_o duty_n negative_a of_o the_o not_o practise_v of_o these_o ceremony_n be_v to_o practice_v they_o and_o so_o to_o commit_v a_o sin_n see_v superstition_n and_o scandal_n be_v the_o two_o inseparable_a companion_n thereof_o so_o albeit_o the_o former_a duty_n seem_v weighty_a in_o the_o quality_n or_o kind_n
