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

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

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 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

your_o sense_n of_o they_o qu._n 6._o why_o shall_v the_o disciplinarian_o i._n e._n the_o presbyterian_o deny_v themselves_o from_o aerius_n as_o you_o say_v p._n 7._o who_o only_o say_v that_o a_o bishop_n be_v no_o more_o a_o minister_n than_o any_o other_o minister_n rather_o than_o from_o st._n peter_n who_o 1_o pet._n 5.12_o say_v he_o be_v no_o more_o though_o a_o apostle_n than_o a_o ordinary_a presbyter_n the_o presbyter_n that_o be_v among_o you_o i_o exhort_v who_o also_o be_o a_o presbyter_n feed_v the_o flock_n of_o god_n which_o be_v among_o you_o perform_v the_o office_n of_o bishop_n or_o from_o clemens_n romanus_n who_o say_v presbyter_n and_o bishop_n be_v one_o why_o shall_v the_o reprobatorious_a derive_v themselves_o from_o simon_n magus_n who_o believe_v no_o

write_v of_o god_n thus_o that_o before_o the_o child_n have_v do_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n he_o say_v jacob_n have_v i_o love_v esau_n have_v i_o ●ated_v he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v why_o shall_v the_o

solifidian_o and_o antinomian_o derive_v themselves_o from_o eunomius_n who_o only_o say_v that_o the_o law_n save_v we_o not_o but_o faith_n or_o from_o misunderstanding_n the_o scripture_n which_o say_v we_o be_v not_o save_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o faith_n and_o the_o anabaptist_n and_o socinian_o look_v not_o upon_o agrippinus_n and_o subellus_n who_o think_v no_o such_o thing_n however_o you_o mistake_v they_o in_o your_o cursory_n and_o light_a way_n of_o read_v and_o write_v but_o they_o all_o look_v as_o you_o advise_v they_o upon_o the_o scripture_n which_o according_a to_o the_o liberty_n you_o take_v yourselves_o and_o all_o on_o they_o they_o understand_v every_o one_o as_o he_o please_v you_o say_v you_o must_v ask_v every_o one_o how_o he_o read_v

than_o i_o the_o millonary_n read_v and_o they_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n quer._n 7._o and_o why_o shall_v the_o papist_n derive_v their_o infallibility_n from_o the_o gnostic_n who_o only_o say_v that_o every_o one_o may_v know_v all_o that_o be_v require_v to_o save_v he_o rather_o than_o from_o the_o scripture_n which_o say_v to_o peter_n thy_o faith_n

truth_n be_v never_o the_o worse_o for_o be_v among_o they_o for_o their_o error_n and_o corruption_n as_o you_o say_v the_o papist_n be_v blind_v with_o many_o doctrine_n most_o sound_a and_o
