that_o be_v not_o of_o god_n so_o then_o you_o may_v see_v your_o injunction_n have_v be_v the_o way_n and_o mean_n to_o breed_v and_o bring_v forth_o a_o world_n of_o hypocrite_n as_o one_o may_v

this_o that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v say_v you_o without_o set_v up_o church_n it_o be_v better_a they_o shall_v get_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n beside_o you_o will_v have_v all_o

the_o scot_n before_o the_o parliament_n sit_v that_o the_o bishop_n and_o priest_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o disturbance_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o have_v read_v both_o the_o scotish_a

a_o handful_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n which_o ever_o seek_v and_o do_v seek_v the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o the_o three_o kingdom_n with_o the_o life_n and_o happy_a reign_n of_o their_o

that_o it_o be_v you_o and_o your_o father_n house_n which_o cause_v this_o variance_n but_o say_v you_o it_o will_v be_v no_o great_a harm_n for_o many_o of_o they_o to_o go_v away_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v like_o you_o apprehend_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o you_o and_o you_o think_v to_o be_v ease_v by_o drive_v out_o the_o lord_n people_n in_o haste_n further_o you_o say_v

three_o kingdom_n for_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o i_o will_v you_o have_v consider_v this_o before_o you_o have_v do_v it_o but_o now_o see_v god_n of_o his_o mercy_n have_v reconcile_v they_o again_o it_o may_v be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o you_o and_o your_o fellow_n to_o depart_v unto_o rome_n that_o god_n true_a religion_n may_v be_v set_v up_o here_o in_o england_n without_o popish_a injunction_n that_o so_o the_o last_o error_n be_v not_o worse_o than_o the_o first_o for_o you_o say_v it_o be_v better_a that_o one_o perish_v than_o unity_n therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v better_a that_o they_o shall_v run_v the_o hazard_n who_o have_v occasion_v the_o strife_n further_o you_o plead_v for_o yourself_o and_o for_o hundred_o of_o your_o brethren_n that_o you_o have_v bear_v the_o brunt_n

counsel_n and_o to_o labour_v to_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o to_o set_v up_o his_o government_n over_o believer_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o many_o of_o the_o people_n who_o yet_o be_v not_o in_o this_o church_n way_n be_v possess_v with_o these_o principle_n of_o the_o independent_a way_n and_o much_o look_n towards_o it_o i_o say_v it_o be_v pity_n they_o shall_v any_o long_o be_v lead_v about_o by_o the_o way_n of_o the_o wilderness_n 2._o you_o do_v affirm_v that_o the_o mind_n of_o multitude_n of_o professor_n in_o england_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n be_v upon_o all_o occasion_n very_o apt_a to_o fall_v to_o any_o way_n in_o doctrine_n or_o discipline_n that_o be_v not_o common_o receive_v by_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v indeed_o the_o proverb_n be_v verify_v upon_o they_o the_o burn_a child_n dread_v the_o fire_n for_o they_o have_v be_v so_o long_o deceive_v by_o your_o false_a gloss_n that_o now_o their_o eye_n be_v a_o little_a open_a the_o light_n appear_v very_o sweet_a unto_o they_o yea_o although_o they_o see_v man_n but_o like_o tree_n as_o the_o blind_a man_n when_o his_o eye_n begin_v to_o be_v open_v who_o have_v be_v blind_a from_o his_o birth_n the_o three_o thing_n which_o you_o have_v lay_v down_o in_o this_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o minister_n will_v not_o be_v tie_v from_o preach_v those_o point_n in_o public_a nor_o from_o speak_v of_o they_o in_o private_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o indeed_o for_o it_o be_v their_o great_a sin_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o declare_v god_n whole_a council_n so_o far_o as_o he_o have_v reveal_v it_o unto_o they_o but_o if_o they_o will_v you_o say_v the_o people_n both_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v s●_z strange_o bold_a and_o pragmatical_a and_o so_o high_o conceit_v of_o their_o way_n as_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o only_a way_n of_o christ_n that_o out_o of_o those_o principle_n they_o will_v be_v draw_v many_o of_o their_o friendship_n and_o kindred_n and_o many_o will_v say_v you_o come_v unto_o they_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o i_o hope_v you_o count_v a_o virtue_n for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o sheep_n when_o they_o fare_v well_o to_o call_v their_o fellow_n but_o hog_n will_v not_o do_v so_o the_o four_o thing_n to_o be_v mind_v be_v that_o you_o say_v liberty_n the_o power_n of_o government_n and_o rule_v to_o be_v in_o the_o people_n be_v mighty_a please_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n especial_o in_o mean_a person_n and_o such_o as_o have_v be_v keep_v under_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o that_o have_v be_v keep_v under_o have_v be_v keep_v under_o by_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n this_o you_o confess_v to_o be_v especial_o the_o poor_a upon_o who_o those_o taskemaster_n have_v lay_v the_o great_a burden_n therefore_o for_o they_o to_o affect_v liberty_n be_v no_o wonder_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v they_o will_v have_v the_o power_n and_o rule_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o any_o power_n or_o rule_n which_o be_v please_v to_o the_o flesh_n as_o you_o speak_v think_v they_o to_o be_v like_o those_o priest_n who_o god_n be_v their_o belly_n who_o glory_n be_v their_o shame_n who_o mind_n earthly_a thing_n but_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n which_o they_o stand_v for_o as_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o which_o church_n christ_n the_o king_n thereof_o have_v give_v all_o power_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n consist_v of_o mean_a person_n be_v no_o wonder_n for_o we_o have_v learn_v that_o the_o poor_a receive_v the_o gospel_n and_o you_o know_v you_o have_v grant_v that_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o the_o liberty_n power_n and_o rule_v shall_v be_v in_o the_o whole_a and_o not_o in_o one_o man_n or_o a_o few_o so_o that_o the_o power_n must_v rest_v in_o the_o body_n and_o not_o in_o the_o officer_n though_o the_o church_n be_v never_o so_o poor_a now_o the_o five_o thing_n you_o mind_n in_o this_o reason_n be_v that_o toleration_n will_v be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o strengthen_v their_o way_n and_o you_o also_o conclude_v it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o able_a minister_n can_v not_o answer_v they_o and_o therefore_o be_v content_a they_o shall_v have_v a_o toleration_n you_o do_v very_o well_o to_o fear_v the_o worst_a but_o you_o have_v do_v better_a if_o you_o have_v arm_v yourself_o against_o they_o and_o answer_v the_o scripture_n they_o bring_v by_o scripture_n but_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n you_o can_v not_o do_v that_o and_o therefore_o your_o fear_n be_v just_a but_o if_o you_o be_v a_o wellminded_a man_n or_o a_o wellmeaning_a christian_a man_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v fear_v the_o come_n of_o the_o truth_n to_o light_v nor_o have_v be_v afraid_a of_o reformation_n because_o it_o will_v work_v to_o your_o great_a division_n and_o rent_n for_o christ_n come_v not_o to_o set_v peace_n upon_o the_o earth_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o but_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n will_v be_v ever_o play_v his_o part_n thus_o much_o for_o your_o second_o reason_n in_o your_o three_o reason_n you_o affirm_v that_o toleration_n will_v breed_v division_n and_o schism_n disturb_v the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o church_n and_o town_n i_o answer_v i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o we_o plead_v for_o no_o toleration_n that_o shall_v disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o church_n or_o town_n moreover_o you_o say_v it_o will_v not_o only_o do_v so_o but_o it_o will_v also_o breed_v division_n in_o family_n between_o husband_n and_o wife_n brother_n and_o brother_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o division_n in_o the_o first_o family_n that_o ever_o be_v and_o brother_n rise_v up_o against_o brother_n but_o toleration_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o but_o the_o malice_n of_o

be_v the_o author_n of_o evil_a than_o you_o may_v say_v that_o toleration_n of_o true_a religion_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o division_n again_o you_o say_v o_o how_o this_o will_v occasion_v
