can_v be_v impose_v for_o it_o be_v a_o serve_a god_n according_a to_o his_o mind_n in_o which_o man_n prescription_n have_v no_o place_n because_o such_o the_o father_n only_o seek_v out_o to_o

difference_n in_o a_o strict_a sense_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o those_o public_a act_n for_o worship_n in_o our_o assembly_n therefore_o in_o your_o sense_n there_o can_v be_v no_o imposition_n upon_o

you_o please_v use_v of_o conscience_n but_o when_o so_o meet_v together_o on_o this_o account_n pray_v why_o do_v you_o refuse_v to_o put_v off_o your_o hat_n to_o use_v the_o word_n you_o to_o a_o

do_v not_o mention_v those_o thing_n as_o indifferent_a but_o to_o show_v how_o by_o endeavour_v to_o avoid_v one_o error_n you_o run_v into_o another_o but_o if_o we_o be_v to_o worship_n and_o serve_v god_n constant_o as_o we_o say_v we_o be_v we_o ought_v to_o wait_v to_o know_v and_o be_v sensible_a of_o he_o every_o where_o and_o upon_o all_o occasion_n but_o we_o say_v this_o can_v be_v do_v without_o faith_n for_o without_o faith_n we_o can_v be_v sensible_a of_o his_o presence_n as_o the_o governor_n of_o our_o action_n nor_o can_v our_o deed_n be_v do_v or_o wrought_v in_o he_o without_o it_o well_o than_o if_o we_o be_v thus_o to_o serve_v god_n and_o this_o can_v be_v do_v without_o faith_n than_o we_o say_v if_o the_o thing_n you_o contend_v for_o be_v real_o good_a we_o must_v if_o we_o serve_v god_n first_o know_v they_o to_o be_v good_a thus_o on_o this_o foot_n in_o your_o own_o sense_n our_o plea_n and_o objection_n be_v good_a because_o the_o thing_n in_o difference_n relate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n you_o explede_v in_o other_o society_n the_o imposs_a time_n gesture_n and_o raiment_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o pray_v consider_v if_o you_o be_v not_o do_v something_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o you_o must_v grant_v that_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v constant_a or_o it_o ought_v not_o if_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v constant_a you_o thy_fw-mi it_o to_o some_o certain_a time_n and_o place_n and_o herein_o agree_v with_o those_o you_o reprehend_v but_o if_o you_o allow_v it_o constant_a the_o impossition_n of_o new_a thing_n under_o this_o notion_n of_o civil_a be_v out_o of_o door_n but_o further_o this_o form_n that_o you_o be_v impose_v with_o all_o the_o reason_n and_o force_v
