but_o holy_a faction_n for_o only_o with_o that_o have_v i_o a_o enmity_n whereof_o a_o part_n be_v this_o that_o they_o will_v not_o obey_v that_o part_n of_o the_o church_n law_n which_o bind_v every_o one_o at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n to_o frequent_v his_o own_o church_n we_o urge_v the_o law_n why_o they_o shall_v come_v and_o they_o this_o reason_n why_o they_o will_v not_o the_o law_n that_o bind_v we_o to_o a_o presence_n at_o the_o afternoon_n service_n be_v either_o absolute_a or_o else_o admit_v of_o some_o exception_n if_o absolute_a then_o in_o no_o case_n whatsoever_o may_v a_o man_n absent_v himself_o than_o he_o must_v not_o follow_v his_o merchandise_n abroad_o than_o it_o will_v be_v a_o sin_n to_o be_v sick_a for_o at_o that_o time_n he_o can_v come_v to_o his_o own_o church_n but_o if_o the_o law_n admit_v of_o these_o exception_n then_o why_o not_o this_o likewise_o that_o since_o for_o their_o temporal_a much_o more_o for_o their_o spiritual_a benefit_n they_o may_v be_v absent_a before_o i_o answer_v this_o i_o will_v give_v they_o a_o like_a argument_n that_o so_o by_o compare_v both_o together_o they_o may_v judge_v whether_o they_o be_v solid_a or_o no._n the_o law_n that_o bind_v we_o to_o a_o presence_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o forenoon_n or_o when_o we_o have_v sermon_n be_v either_o absolute_a or_o have_v some_o exception_n if_o absolute_a than_o all_o the_o former_a inconvenience_n follow_v if_o it_o have_v exception_n then_o if_o for_o our_o temporal_a good_a why_o not_o much_o rather_o for_o our_o spiritual_a good_a may_v we_o not_o absent_v ourselves_o even_o in_o the_o forenoon_n or_o when_o at_o home_o we_o have_v a_o sermon_n since_o other_o may_v preach_v more_o effectual_o than_o our_o own_o minister_n and_o so_o from_o other_o i_o may_v have_v more_o spiritual_a good_a than_o i_o can_v have_v from_o he_o i_o appeal_v to_o their_o own_o conscience_n whether_o such_o a_o argument_n be_v sound_a or_o no._n if_o they_o say_v it_o be_v than_o one_o church_n shall_v be_v oppress_v when_o another_o be_v empty_a one_o minister_n will_v suspect_v a_o other_o as_o if_o he_o draw_v away_o his_o flock_n from_o he_o there_o will_v be_v as_o many_o schism_n as_o priest_n and_o because_o among_o the_o minister_n none_o be_v so_o well_o gift_v but_o some_o be_v or_o will_v be_v think_v better_a while_o all_o run_v after_o the_o best_a there_o will_v be_v no_o certain_a hear_n of_o any_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v nothing_o but_o confusion_n but_o if_o they_o confess_v the_o truth_n that_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a kind_n of_o argue_v than_o they_o spoil_v their_o own_o reason_n which_o be_v the_o same_o in_o effect_n with_o this_o to_o which_o in_o brief_a i_o answer_v that_o the_o law_n concern_v etc._n etc._n admit_v of_o exception_n but_o only_o of_o such_o which_o be_v not_o against_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o law_n the_o intent_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o prevent_v schism_n and_o therefore_o to_o cause_v man_n to_o frequent_v their_o own_o church_n now_o they_o that_o travel_v do_v not_o cross_v this_o intent_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o schism_n in_o they_o and_o when_o they_o can_v they_o do_v frequent_v it_o but_o they_o that_o go_v to_o hear_v sermon_n abroad_o for_o their_o spiritual_a good_a as_o they_o pretend_v take_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o make_v a_o schism_n and_o do_v never_o frequent_v their_o own_o church_n now_o it_o will_v be_v strange_a if_o the_o same_o law_n which_o be_v make_v to_o cause_v man_n to_o frequent_v their_o own_o church_n shall_v admit_v of_o a_o exception_n by_o which_o they_o never_o shall_v come_v thither_o but_o they_o may_v be_v absent_a for_o their_o temporal_a why_o then_o not_o for_o their_o spiritual_a good_a sure_o because_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n shall_v they_o not_o trade_v abroad_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o live_v but_o you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o shall_v they_o not_o hear_v abroad_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v this_o truth_n will_v be_v clear_a in_o some_o few_o syllogism_n if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o break_v the_o church_n law_n then_o chief_o for_o our_o spiritual_a good_a we_o may_v break_v it_o but_o we_o may_v not_o break_v it_o for_o our_o spiritual_a good_a ergo._fw-la the_o minor_n be_v thus_o prove_v if_o we_o may_v enjoy_v as_o much_o spiritual_a good_a by_o keep_v as_o by_o break_v it_o than_o we_o may_v not_o break_v it_o for_o our_o spiritual_a good_a but_o we_o may_v enjoy_v as_o much_o spiritual_a good_a by_o keep_v as_o by_o break_v it_o ergo._fw-la the_o minor_n be_v again_o prove_v all_o the_o good_a that_o we_o can_v get_v by_o break_v it_o be_v but_o the_o confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o the_o confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o may_v have_v even_o when_o we_o keep_v it_o the_o major_n appear_v for_o who_o be_v they_o that_o break_v the_o law_n but_o such_o who_o account_v themselves_o call_v and_o justify_v already_o now_o i_o may_v be_v confirm_v i_o may_v be_v strengthen_v but_o i_o can_v be_v call_v after_o i_o be_o call_v and_o for_o the_o minor_a that_o our_o faith_n may_v be_v confirm_v though_o we_o keep_v the_o law_n and_o stay_n at_o home_n be_v manifest_a out_o of_o their_o own_o confession_n which_o yield_v thus_o much_o that_o though_o the_o word_n preach_v alone_o beget_v yet_o the_o word_n but_o read_v only_o may_v nourish_v faith_n thus_o if_o only_o they_o keep_v away_o and_o break_v a_o humane_a ordinance_n for_o their_o spiritual_a good_a and_o that_o spiritual_a good_a be_v but_o confirmation_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o that_o confirmation_n they_o may_v have_v have_v at_o home_n without_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o law_n who_o see_v not_o that_o it_o be_v far_o safe_a to_o obey_v than_o to_o contest_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o rather_o than_o to_o subject_v under_o we_o these_o humane_a ordinance_n i_o will_v press_v but_o one_o reason_n more_o and_o that_o upon_o a_o ground_n by_o themselves_o confess_v where_o ever_o god_n have_v command_v a_o thing_n in_o general_a there_o the_o church_n may_v determine_v the_o particularity_n as_o where_o god_n say_v let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o order_n the_o church_n may_v particular_o describe_v what_o that_o order_n shall_v be_v and_o such_o a_o command_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v as_o a_o law_n of_o god_n this_o ground_n be_v confess_v but_o concern_v hear_v there_o be_v a_o command_n of_o god_n in_o general_a and_o a_o particular_a command_n of_o the_o church_n concern_v what_o person_n and_o in_o what_o place_n to_o wit_n their_o own_o pastor_n in_o his_o own_o cure_n therefore_o that_o law_n be_v a_o law_n of_o god_n to_o we_o and_o so_o by_o all_o mean_n must_v be_v keep_v if_o they_o shall_v cavil_n that_o they_o be_v only_o bind_v to_o hear_v but_o when_o the_o minister_n do_v preach_v i_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o law_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n they_o must_v not_o leave_v their_o minister_n when_o they_o may_v hear_v he_o and_o they_o may_v hear_v he_o when_o he_o but_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n examine_v and_o weigh_v these_o reason_n for_o i_o stand_v to_o my_o former_a protestation_n which_o be_v mistake_v for_o a_o threaten_a if_o these_o reason_n be_v firm_a follow_v they_o if_o they_o be_v infirm_a make_v it_o appear_v and_o i_o will_v follow_v you_o but_o i_o be_o certain_a you_o can_v make_v it_o appear_v unless_o you_o can_v produce_v some_o ordinance_n of_o man_n and_o that_o not_o contrary_a to_o god_n law_n unto_o which_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o be_v subject_a o_o than_o my_o belove_a let_v we_o no_o long_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n of_o our_o own_o eye_n nor_o follow_v that_o which_o saint_n hierome_n term_v the_o worst_a master_n our_o own_o presumption_n away_o with_o those_o vain_a word_n i_o care_v not_o for_o the_o command_n of_o man_n see_v in_o say_v so_o you_o disobey_v the_o command_n of_o god_n who_o have_v command_v you_o to_o obey_v man_n you_o know_v what_o saint_n paul_n say_v the_o power_n which_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n whosoever_o therefore_o resist_v the_o
