and_o deter_v they_o from_o their_o good_a intention_n priest_n because_o of_o the_o law_n mery._n as_o to_o that_o law_n for_o i_o know_v you_o mean_v the_o last_o law_n against_o seditious_a meeting_n i_o have_v this_o to_o say_v first_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o the_o maker_n of_o that_o law_n do_v assign_v the_o least_o breach_n of_o political_a obedience_n against_o the_o dissenter_n only_o there_o be_v a_o supposition_n that_o a_o insurrection_n may_v be_v hatch_v at_o such_o a_o meeting_n so_o that_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n do_v as_o the_o law_n suppose_v where_o there_o be_v no_o transgression_n there_o can_v be_v no_o punishment_n so_o than_o it_o remain_v that_o this_o law_n be_v obtain_v by_o some_o part_n of_o the_o clergy_n for_o their_o own_o advantage_n and_o to_o render_v themselves_o the_o more_o formidable_a to_o their_o dissent_v brethren_n in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v never_o yet_o know_v in_o this_o world_n that_o ever_o any_o civil_a magistrate_n or_o supreme_a power_n make_v a_o law_n with_o a_o intent_n to_o punish_v any_o good_a man_n this_o law_n against_o dissenter_n punish_v many_o a_o good_a man_n therefore_o never_o intend_v by_o the_o supreme_a power_n against_o the_o dissenter_n now_o that_o the_o dissenter_n be_v good_a man_n i_o prove_v from_o david_n own_o description_n of_o a_o good_a man_n in_o psalm_n 15._o where_n put_v the_o question_n to_o himself_o vir_fw-la bone_fw-la est_fw-la quis_fw-la he_o answer_v first_o as_o to_o the_o civil_a government_n qui_fw-la ambulat_fw-la integre_n exercetque_fw-la justitiam_fw-la that_o be_v he_o that_o behave_v himself_o dutiful_o and_o obedient_o towards_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o just_o towards_o his_o neighbour_n now_o that_o the_o dissenter_n be_v at_o least_o outward_o under_o the_o guard_n of_o these_o description_n of_o good_a man_n be_v plain_a for_o that_o no_o informer_n complain_v against_o they_o for_o the_o least_o breach_n of_o civil_a obedience_n either_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n as_o to_o any_o other_o law_n but_o only_o the_o single_a act_n of_o nonconformity_n to_o this_o statute_n so_o then_o the_o statute_n not_o be_v intend_v against_o they_o as_o be_v good_a and_o virtuous_a man_n and_o conformable_a to_o the_o civil_a government_n they_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o no_o nonconformity_n to_o the_o command_n of_o the_o civil_a power_n for_o the_o civil_a power_n by_o this_o act_n enjoin_v nothing_o but_o peace_n to_o be_v keep_v with_o the_o breach_n of_o which_o no_o informer_n as_o yet_o have_v tax_v they_o that_o the_o dissenter_n be_v not_o guilty_a of_o any_o nonconformity_n to_o this_o act_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o ecclesiastical_a power_n i_o offer_v thus_o the_o statute_n enjoin_v the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o contain_v no_o more_o than_o only_a truth_n if_o then_o the_o dissenter_n speak_v and_o pray_v according_a to_o truth_n they_o exercise_v according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o psalmist_n therefore_o proceed_v in_o the_o next_o word_n after_o he_o have_v declare_v who_o do_v well_o in_o civil_n tell_v we_o who_o do_v well_o in_o spiritual_n that_o be_v to_o say_v qui_fw-la loquor_fw-la veritatem_fw-la ex_fw-la animo_fw-la svo_fw-la he_o that_o speak_v truth_n from_o his_o heart_n but_o the_o dissenter_n do_v speak_v truth_n nay_o the_o truth_n of_o truth_n divine_a truth_n and_o therefore_o exercise_v according_a to_o the_o liturgy_n and_o as_o such_o they_o be_v good_a man_n and_o so_o to_o be_v account_v in_o foro_fw-la ecclesiastico_fw-la now_o then_o put_v it_o thus_o never_o any_o lawgiver_n ever_o make_v a_o law_n with_o a_o intent_n to_o punish_v any_o man_n that_o speak_v divine_a truth_n but_o this_o law_n against_o dissenter_n punish_v many_o a_o man_n that_o speak_v divine_a truth_n therefore_o never_o any_o lawgiver_n intend_v this_o law_n against_o the_o dissenter_n and_o the_o same_o argument_n hold_v for_o the_o hearer_n as_o well_o as_o the_o speaker_n for_o that_o the_o hear_n of_o divine_a truth_n be_v as_o lawful_a as_o to_o speak_v it_o so_o then_o if_o the_o dissenter_n as_o intend_v by_o the_o act_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v they_o be_v transgressor_n but_o the_o dissenter_n not_o be_v intend_v by_o the_o act_n be_v no_o transgressor_n therefore_o the_o dissenter_n be_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o act._n or_o thus_o if_o the_o dissenter_n as_o not_o intend_v by_o the_o act_n be_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v they_o be_v innocent_a but_o the_o dissenter_n as_o not_o intend_v by_o the_o act_n be_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v therefore_o the_o dissenter_n be_v innocent_a the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v not_o intend_v by_o the_o act_n be_v because_o they_o be_v loyal_a to_o the_o civil_a government_n and_o obedient_a to_o the_o spiritual_a for_o that_o they_o speak_v and_o preach_v divine_a truth_n and_o then_o that_o the_o dissenter_n preach_v divine_a truth_n be_v easy_o thus_o prove_v the_o church_n of_o england_n teach_v divine_a truth_n the_o dissenter_n teach_v the_o same_o doctrine_n with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n therefore_o the_o dissenter_n teach_v divine_a truth_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v infer_v that_o to_o pursue_v such_o vast_a number_n of_o people_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o dissenter_n with_o the_o lash_n of_o a_o law_n that_o assign_v no_o breach_n of_o public_a disobedience_n or_o public_a disturbance_n no_o detriment_n to_o the_o public_a revenue_n or_o forbid_a act_n of_o private_a injury_n but_o only_o the_o supposition_n of_o a_o offence_n deduce_v and_o infer_v from_o the_o bare_a separate_a excercise_n of_o divine_a worship_n seem_v a_o extremity_n too_o much_o simpathize_v with_o uncharitable_a worldly_a interest_n that_o miss_v more_o the_o separate_a purse_n than_o the_o separate_a person_n the_o moderate_a party_n themselves_o confess_v that_o as_o to_o those_o who_o pure_o and_o out_o of_o conscience_n refuse_v to_o conform_v their_o circumstance_n be_v hard_a and_o it_o be_v

why_o you_o shall_v come_v into_o a_o meetinghouse_n and_o while_o the_o minister_n be_v in_o his_o pulpit_n there_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o company_n of_o people_n young_a and_o old_a rich_a and_o
