and_o may_v be_v such_o weakness_n both_o in_o judgement_n and_o practice_n in_o people_n to_o who_o love_n and_o communion_n ought_v to_o be_v continue_v unless_o we_o will_v have_v none_o to_o be_v

in_o judgement_n and_o conversation_n to_o say_v these_o weakness_n i_o must_v tolerate_v christ_n will_v have_v i_o exercise_v indulgence_n thus_o far_o and_o no_o further_o some_o error_n in_o

i_o bear_v with_o other_o who_o be_v so_o but_o for_o our_o judgement_n we_o conceive_v we_o be_v right_a second_o man_n do_v not_o use_v to_o defend_v themselves_o in_o such_o weakness_n but_o do_v more_o prey_n against_o they_o and_o they_o be_v their_o burden_n if_o saint_n but_o they_o will_v defend_v their_o error_n three_o for_o error_n in_o practice_n saint_n do_v value_v the_o grace_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o corruption_n and_o those_o man_n who_o have_v attain_v beyond_o they_o they_o commend_v but_o in_o error_n of_o judgement_n man_n set_v high_a price_n on_o their_o

so_o no_o doubt_n there_o be_v such_o weakness_n which_o the_o magistrate_n ought_v to_o tolerate_v but_o whither_o the_o magistrate_n must_v or_o will_v tolerate_v what_o ever_o a_o church_n must_v i_o question_v very_o much_o i_o know_v our_o author_n have_v large_a principle_n this_o way_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o take_v they_o up_o from_o the_o love_n he_o bear_v to_o christ_n image_n which_o may_v be_v where_o yet_o be_v too_o many_o error_n if_o the_o error_n be_v not_o in_o the_o fundamental_a point_n alas_o that_o some_o body_n will_v once_o tell_v we_o what_o those_o be_v for_o i_o take_v those_o to_o be_v fundamental_a which_o our_o time_n now_o deny_v i_o know_v he_o will_v bear_v much_o but_o suppose_v then_o church_n be_v overspread_v with_o this_o error_n that_o christian_n must_v not_o swear_v though_o lawful_o call_v and_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n depend_v upon_o a_o oath_n suppose_v man_n deny_v war_n upon_o never_o so_o just_a ground_n to_o be_v lawful_a suppose_v deny_v all_o magistracy_n as_o we_o know_v the_o old_a anabaptist_n do_v all_o these_o and_o how_o many_o among_o we_o now_o with_o divers_a more_o such_o thing_n which_o will_v not_o i_o suppose_v come_v under_o the_o fundamental_n i_o say_v these_o error_n spread_v abundant_o what_o will_v or_o what_o must_v the_o magistrate_n do_v indulge_v all_o these_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o nation_n and_o court_n of_o judgement_n something_o be_v we_o may_v gather_v from_o our_o author_n which_o the_o magistrate_n must_v not_o tolerate_v first_o not_o idolatry_n superstition_n etc._n etc._n second_o not_o heresy_n this_o can_v claim_v no_o more_o toleration_n than_o other_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n gal._n 5._o but_o if_o the_o brain_n of_o

the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v commit_v to_o the_o magistrate_n to_o take_v care_n that_o all_o the_o lord_n institution_n be_v execute_v also_o that_o he_o must_v command_v and_o order_v the_o people_n to_o come_v and_o attend_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n but_o if_o the_o magistrate_n tolerate_v those_o who_o cast_v off_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n to_o what_o purpose_n do_v he_o take_v care_n to_o see_v they_o execute_v how_o can_v it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o do_v this_o and_o yet_o his_o duty_n to_o tolerate_v those_o who_o throw_v they_o off_o more_o i_o can_v gather_v
