down_o peaceable_o and_o grant_v themselves_o erroneous_a and_o therefore_o desire_v a_o toleration_n only_o for_o what_o be_v public_o judge_v a_o error_n and_o not_o the_o establishment_n of_o any_o thing_n to_o be_v public_o allow_v as_o truth_n if_o we_o the_o heterodox_n part_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v in_o the_o right_n we_o will_v crave_v public_a countenance_n and_o settlement_n whereas_o now_o we_o humble_o desire_v only_o public_a favour_n and_o indulgence_n as_o those_o that_o be_v presume_v to_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o lose_a labour_n to_o spend_v whole_a sermon_n to_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v so_o qu._n 2._o to_o what_o end_n be_v this_o discourse_n direct_v not_o to_o confirm_v his_o majesty_n in_o the_o error_n of_o our_o way_n for_o he_o have_v declare_v his_o resolution_n against_o our_o doctrine_n before_o not_o that_o i_o have_v hope_n to_o widen_v the_o breach_n between_o we_o for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n not_o to_o instruct_v the_o people_n for_o they_o can_v never_o satisfy_v themselver_n by_o your_o discourse_n which_o lead_v they_o to_o father_n and_o other_o author_n they_o do_v not_o know_v to_o such_o quotation_n as_o they_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v wrest_v or_o not_o not_o to_o convert_v we_o who_o you_o know_v shall_v not_o hear_v you_o nor_o when_o we_o have_v hear_v you_o shall_v we_o with_o freedom_n offer_v ourselves_o against_o what_o you_o say_v which_o must_v be_v this_o since_o we_o be_v convert_v qu._n 3._o but_o suppose_v your_o discourse_n seasonable_a and_o useful_a what_o do_v you_o mean_v by_o that_o which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n do_v you_o mean_v primitive_a example_n or_o primitive_a rule_n if_o you_o mean_v primitive_a example_n they_o be_v not_o a_o rule_n of_o reformation_n because_o we_o be_v not_o to_o do_v as_o man_n have_v do_v but_o as_o man_n ought_v to_o do_v if_o you_o mean_v primitive_a rule_n you_o mean_v either_o the_o scripture_n or_o something_o add_v to_o it_o not_o any_o thing_n add_v to_o it_o for_o you_o say_v curse_v be_v he_o that_o add_v any_o thing_n to_o it_o or_o take_v away_o any_o thing_n from_o it_o and_o if_o you_o mean_v the_o scripture_n itself_o the_o query_n be_v wrether_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o reformation_n as_o some_o man_n understand_v it_o or_o as_o all_o man_n do_v not_o as_o all_o man_n do_v for_o then_o either_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o reformation_n all_o man_n never_o agree_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o or_o we_o must_v have_v as_o many_o reformation_n as_o there_o be_v opinion_n in_o the_o world_n and_o as_o you_o reform_v beyond_o we_o according_a to_o your_o sense_n of_o scripture_n so_o the_o presbyterian_a reform_v beyond_o you_o in_o his_o sense_n of_o it_o and_o the_o fanatic_a beyond_o he_o according_a to_o his_o sense_n and_o primitive_a rule_n of_o reformation_n if_o as_o some_o man_n do_v understand_v the_o scripture_n it_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o reformation_n then_o either_o as_o you_o do_v or_o as_o we_o do_v if_o you_o say_v as_o you_o do_v you_o be_v partial_a in_o yourselves_o and_o you_o allow_v yourselves_o what_o you_o with_o so_o much_o bitterness_n deny_v we_o to_o be_v lord_n over_o man_n faith_n to_o be_v judge_n of_o controversy_n if_o as_o we_o do_v than_o you_o in_o your_o whole_a

of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n you_o have_v contend_v as_o you_o say_v for_o that_o which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n see_v you_o contend_v only_o for_o the_o old_a protestant_a way_n and_o that_o beside_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o eastern_a church_n claim_v a_o great_a antiquity_n than_o you_o and_o if_o popery_n be_v down_o there_o be_v a_o world_n of_o sect_n and_o way_n that_o desire_v no_o more_o than_o to_o try_v with_o you_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n the_o whole_a throng_n of_o non-conformists'_a cry_n to_o the_o

what_o pain_n you_o put_v yourselves_o upon_o when_o you_o say_v we_o must_v reduce_v all_o thing_n to_o what_o they_o be_v in_o the_o beginning_n where_o do_v you_o find_v say_v the_o fanatic_a

the_o beginning_n you_o use_v cross_n surplice_n copes_n altar_n organ_n church-music_n but_o in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o you_o impose_v upon_o tender_a conscience_n say_v they_o you_o undo_v poor_a man_n for_o thing_n in_o themselves_o indifferent_a you_o hinder_v man_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o thing_n in_o themselves_o not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o you_o sing_v your_o prayer_n you_o use_v vain_a repetition_n you_o pray_v by_o book_n they_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o

the_o question_n be_v then_o whether_o by_o examine_v our_o way_n by_o what_o there_o be_v in_o the_o beginning_n you_o have_v not_o teach_v other_o to_o examine_v you_o so_o too_o and_o to_o cast_v
