to_o this_o reply_n before_o i_o may_v spare_v my_o pain_n now_o yet_o mâ—st_a i_o let_v you_o know_v that_o you_o do_v i_o wrong_v in_o three_o particular_n 1._o in_o lay_v down_o a_o part_n of_o my_o word_n which_o you_o think_v may_v best_o serve_v your_o purpose_n and_o leave_v out_o the_o other_o part_n of_o my_o word_n on_o which_o the_o weight_n of_o my_o argument_n lay_v in_o urge_v that_o text_n 1_o cor._n 11.34_o the_o rest_n i_o will_v set_v in_o order_n when_o i_o come_v i_o say_v this_o order_n must_v be_v about_o matter_n of_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n and_o not_o order_v about_o heart_n reformation_n for_o paul_n can_v not_o order_v any_o thing_n about_o this_o who_o shall_v have_v this_o reformation_n who_o shall_v not_o who_o shall_v have_v grace_n who_o not_o who_o shall_v have_v small_a measure_n of_o grace_n who_o great_a so_o paul_n word_n must_v have_v reference_n to_o external_a order_n in_o matter_n ecclesiastical_a as_o calvin_n piscator_fw-la and_o paraeus_n expound_v it_o 4._o you_o do_v i_o wrong_v in_o lay_v down_o my_o word_n to_o some_o other_o thing_n than_o i_o intend_v as_o if_o i_o urge_v that_o text_n to_o prove_v the_o power_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n which_o i_o do_v not_o other_o scripture_n testify_v that_o sufficient_o i_o need_v not_o wrest_v this_o but_o only_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n warrant_v another_o kind_n of_o reformation_n beside_o heart-reformation_n consist_v in_o ecclesiastical_a constitution_n for_o external_a order_n which_o this_o text_n affirm_v 3._o in_o affirm_v that_o i_o with_o other_o think_v if_o the_o church_n bâ—e_n set_v in_o order_n by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v out_o of_o order_n for_o we_o i_o acknowledge_v the_o church_n be_v then_o best_a order_v for_o we_o when_o order_v by_o the_o word_n see_v that_o order_n allow_v not_o such_o confuse_a disorder_n as_o the_o want_n of_o church_n discipline_n will_v bring_v in_o love_n to_o cry_v down_o all_o kind_n of_o government_n under_o heart-government_n and_o all_o reformation_n as_o carnal_a because_o you_o have_v the_o civil_a

i_o say_v indeed_o to_o cry_v down_o all_o government_n and_o reformation_n as_o carnal_a because_o it_o have_v the_o protection_n or_o civil_a sanction_n of_o the_o magistrate_n do_v cross_v that_o

nay_o you_o grant_v as_o much_o as_o i_o affirm_v which_o i_o shall_v declare_v present_o 3._o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n what_o a_o charitable_a allusion_n you_o have_v in_o compare_v i_o to_o
