from_o what_o you_o pretend_v first_o because_o it_o be_v high_o probable_a that_o the_o search_v make_v into_o god_n word_n concern_v the_o matter_n in_o controversy_n may_v be_v less_o exact_a and_o sagacious_a in_o a_o consistory_n than_o it_o will_v in_o a_o synod_n compose_v of_o all_o the_o minister_n in_o a_o whole_a province_n and_o so_o again_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n less_o exact_a and_o sagacious_a in_o a_o provincial_a synod_n than_o in_o a_o national_a which_o be_v usual_o make_v up_o of_o all_o the_o most_o ingenious_a and_o learned_a man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n the_o other_o reason_n be_v that_o man_n may_v possible_o be_v prepossess_v against_o a_o consistory_n so_o as_o not_o to_o hearken_v to_o it_o so_o ready_o and_o impartial_o as_o they_o shall_v which_o be_v not_o so_o likely_a in_o respect_n of_o a_o provincial_a synod_n which_o will_v be_v think_v less_o apt_a to_o be_v sway_v by_o interest_n passion_n or_o personal_a prejudices_fw-la and_o consequent_o they_o will_v be_v more_o quiet_o hear_v last_o these_o kind_n of_o passion_n and_o private_a interest_n be_v still_o less_o likely_a to_o happen_v in_o a_o national_a synod_n consist_v of_o person_n live_v remote_a from_o one_o another_o and_o come_v from_o all_o quarter_n of_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v very_o probable_a man_n will_v not_o be_v prepossess_v against_o they_o and_o consequent_o that_o they_o will_v receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n at_o their_o mouth_n that_o they_o will_v be_v more_o ready_a to_o learn_v and_o better_o dispose_v to_o obey_v they_o he_o say_v therefore_o that_o this_o method_n be_v take_v for_o the_o avoid_n as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a two_o inconvenience_n one_o be_v to_o prevent_v the_o last_o determination_n be_v give_v light_o inconsiderate_o or_o with_o any_o mixture_n of_o humane_a passion_n and_o interest_n the_o other_o that_o the_o party_n concern_v may_v not_o be_v hinder_v by_o any_o personal_a prejudices_fw-la from_o hear_v and_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o that_o obedience_n and_o faithful_a submission_n which_o be_v owe_v to_o it_o but_o it_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v infer_v from_o hence_o that_o according_a to_o the_o meaning_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o discipline_n it_o be_v not_o always_o god_n word_n as_o such_o but_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o assembly_n to_o which_o that_o obedience_n must_v be_v pay_v and_o moreover_o that_o the_o decision_n of_o a_o national_a synod_n be_v for_o this_o reason_n call_v the_o last_o and_o final_a decision_n because_o according_a to_o humane_a method_n and_o the_o present_a course_n of_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o beyond_o it_o to_o which_o we_o can_v have_v recourse_n as_o for_o the_o letter_n of_o mission_n to_o the_o national_a synod_n he_o reply_v that_o do_v not_o infer_v a_o absolute_a submission_n any_o more_o than_o the_o act_n of_o their_o discipline_n do_v because_o there_o be_v in_o it_o the_o express_a condition_n of_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o these_o word_n be_v persuade_v as_o we_o be_v that_o god_n will_v preside_o over_o you_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o his_o word_n as_o to_o the_o reason_n which_o the_o synod_n of_o charenton_n urge_v against_o the_o independent_o this_o he_o say_v do_v not_o at_o all_o imply_v a_o blind_a and_o implicit_a obedience_n that_o the_o dependence_n which_o particular_a church_n have_v upon_o colloquy_n and_o synod_n be_v a_o external_a order_n which_o though_o it_o have_v not_o any_o sure_a and_o infallible_a mean_n of_o preserve_v the_o church_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n be_v however_o of_o mighty_a convenience_n and_o use_n towards_o the_o do_v it_o and_o we_o ought_v always_o to_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o god_n
