our_o minister_n and_o parish_n james_n garlick-hill_n london_n be_v quite_o out_o of_o order_n i_o with_o other_o move_v for_o reformation_n in_o do_v whereof_o how_o i_o labour_v to_o have_v

there_o be_v enough_o that_o will_v but_o he_o be_v a_o man_n that_o trust_v to_o policy_n which_o in_o the_o end_n fail_v he_o our_o next_o endeavour_n be_v for_o the_o whole_a ward_n wherein_o after_o much_o labour_n we_o so_o prevail_v that_o the_o well_o affect_v carry_v the_o choice_n of_o alderman_n and_o common-council_n man_n and_o all_o other_o officer_n in_o the_o ward_n my_o next_o

thereof_o will_v through_o error_n of_o judgement_n have_v take_v part_n against_o the_o parliament_n or_o have_v befriend_v arbitrary_a power_n as_o too_o too_o many_o do_v for_o want_v of_o light_n but_o it_o be_v stifle_v in_o the_o birth_n i_o be_v also_o interress_v in_o all_o the_o proceed_n of_o salter_n hall_n whence_o much_o good_a issue_v to_o the_o whole_a city_n and_o kingdom_n where_o

know_a good_a affection_n to_o parliament_n and_o commonwealth_n that_o it_o be_v my_o extreme_a wonder_n that_o any_o well-affected_a person_n shall_v affirm_v i_o to_o be_v a_o man_n dangerous_a i_o have_v never_o shun_v the_o light_n all_o that_o i_o have_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o have_v come_v to_o the_o public_a view_n and_o touch_v and_o true_o there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o just_a thing_n promote_v or_o endeavour_v to_o be_v promote_v that_o ever_o i_o be_v absent_a from_o if_o i_o have_v a_o call_v thereunto_o and_o whereas_o i_o have_v addict_v myself_o to_o know_v and_o understand_v all_o the_o several_a doctrine_n and_o way_n of_o worship_n that_o be_v extant_a and_o for_o that_o end_n have_v take_v liberty_n to_o hear_v and_o to_o observe_v all_o it_o be_v that_o i_o may_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v right_o of_o their_o difference_n to_o vindicate_v they_o when_o they_o be_v wrong_v and_o to_o advise_v they_o for_o their_o good_a in_o do_v whereof_o i_o have_v gain_v much_o good_a there_o be_v not_o any_o how_o light_a esteem_n soever_o you_o make_v of_o they_o but_o have_v something_o worthy_a the_o observation_n and_o this_o i_o must_v testy_o for_o all_o sort_n of_o they_o they_o be_v a_o people_n the_o most_o ready_a to_o render_v love_n for_o love_n that_o ever_o i_o meet_v withal_o and_o not_o apt_a to_o render_v evil_a for_o evil_n they_o be_v all_o universal_o faithful_a to_o the_o parliament_n friend_n to_o all_o just_a government_n and_o enemy_n to_o all_o unjust_a but_o yet_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n i_o have_v observe_v that_o have_v prevail_v with_o i_o to_o disclaim_v the_o public_a ministry_n or_o the_o parochial_a congregation_n &_o i_o have_v yet_o some_o hope_n to_o see_v they_o reduce_v into_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o that_o all_o thing_n thereunto_o belong_v may_v without_o difficulty_n be_v justify_v but_o though_o i_o be_o not_o in_o fellowship_n with_o those_o good_a people_n you_o call_v sectary_n yet_o i_o join_v heart_n and_o hand_n with_o they_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o judge_v to_o be_v right_a and_o tend_v to_o the_o public_a good_a and_o love_v they_o as_o hearty_o as_o those_o that_o be_v one_o with_o i_o in_o judgement_n sometime_o i_o contest_v with_o they_o somewhat_o vehement_o in_o argue_v but_o it_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v for_o truth_n and_o for_o their_o good_a and_o they_o take_v it_o so_o and_o bear_v with_o i_o as_o i_o with_o they_o and_o we_o meet_v and_o part_v in_o love_n as_o become_v christian_n nor_o do_v this_o hinder_a but_o that_o when_o any_o difference_n befall_v between_o they_o and_o the_o public_a minister_n but_o that_o i_o judge_v as_o clear_o in_o such_o case_n as_o if_o i_o have_v no_o difference_n with_o they_o for_o i_o esteem_v it_o a_o high_a part_n of_o true_a religion_n to_o promote_v common_a justice_n and_o not_o to_o be_v a_o respecter_n of_o person_n in_o judgement_n wherein_o the_o scripture_n be_v my_o rule_n and_o that_o be_v on_o their_o side_n i_o shall_v take_v part_n with_o they_o therein_o against_o my_o father_n minister_n or_o the_o dear_a friend_n i_o have_v in_o the_o world_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o question_n be_v about_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n the_o scripture_n tell_v i_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o be_v full_o persuade_v in_o his_o own_o mind_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n it_o tell_v i_o i_o must_v do_v as_o i_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o i_o will_v not_o be_v enforce_v to_o the_o parish_n congregation_n than_o i_o must_v not_o force_v they_o to_o they_o or_o from_o their_o own_o god_n only_o persuade_v the_o heart_n compulsion_n and_o enforcement_n may_v make_v a_o confuse_a mass_n of_o dissemble_a hypocrite_n not_o a_o congregation_n of_o believer_n that_o see_v our_o saviour_n reproach_v not_o those_o that_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n angel_n and_o spirit_n nay_o joh._n 12.47.48_o etc._n etc._n he_o say_v plain_o and_o that_o by_o authority_n from_o heaven_n five_o 49._o he_o that_o refuse_v i_o and_o receive_v not_o my_o word_n have_v one_o that_o judge_v he_o the_o word_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v it_o shall_v judge_v he_o in_o the_o last_o day_n also_o in_o luke_n the_o 9.54.55.56_o insomuch_o as_o i_o see_v no_o more_o warrant_v now_o to_o reproach_n or_o punish_v any_o man_n for_o religion_n but_o rather_o that_o we_o be_v all_o bind_v in_o peace_n and_o love_n to_o reclaim_v our_o brother_n from_o what_o we_o judge_v a_o error_n in_o his_o way_n wherein_o the_o best_a and_o most_o know_v among_o man_n in_o our_o day_n may_v be_v mistake_v be_v all_o liable_a to_o take_v truth_n for_o error_n and_o error_n for_o truth_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o strife_n or_o compulsion_n except_o for_o mastery_n than_o which_o as_o i_o conceive_v nothing_o be_v more_o unchristian_a nevertheless_o i_o may_v see_v a_o necessary_a use_n of_o a_o public_a ministry_n and_o parish_n congregation_n and_o it_o be_v my_o work_n to_o persuade_v other_o therein_o and_o not_o to_o speak_v reproachful_o thereof_o as_o they_o will_v not_o have_v their_o way_n reproach_v but_o then_o when_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v a_o maintenance_n for_o these_o public_a minister_n and_o that_o any_o shall_v insist_v for_o tithe_n or_o a_o enforce_a maintenance_n true_o in_o this_o case_n the_o scripture_n manifest_v to_o my_o understanding_n tithe_n to_o be_v ceremonial_a and_o jewish_a and_o so_o to_o cease_v at_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o to_o enforce_v or_o enjoin_v a_o maintenance_n though_o under_o any_o other_o notion_n be_v as_o i_o apprehend_v contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a but_o i_o must_v adhere_v to_o they_o therein_o but_o then_o that_o our_o public_a minister_n shall_v have_v no_o maintenance_n therein_o i_o whole_o dissent_v and_o as_o it_o have_v be_v my_o endeavour_n to_o assist_v the_o one_o party_n to_o avoid_v the_o molestation_n of_o their_o concscience_n in_o tithe_n &_o all_o enforce_a contribution_n so_o have_v i_o often_o propose_v a_o way_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o public_a minister_n more_o certain_a more_o quiet_a for_o
