will_v the_o service_n have_v be_v abomination_n if_o man_n shall_v have_v take_v authority_n to_o have_v enjoin_v all_o to_o bring_v no_o other_o but_o turtle_n or_o young_a pigeon_n because_o some_o

in_o worship_v be_v to_o do_v at_o his_o own_o peril_n and_o if_o it_o be_v leave_v free_a unto_o he_o the_o worship_n may_v be_v lawful_a to_o he_o that_o join_v with_o he_o therein_o in_o itself_o though_o perform_v in_o a_o negligent_a and_o so_o in_o a_o sinful_a manner_n by_o the_o minister_n but_o if_o that_o manner_n be_v enjoin_v the_o service_n itself_o be_v to_o be_v refuse_v now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n god_n have_v appoint_v the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v for_o so_o the_o world_n account_n it_o to_o be_v the_o mean_n whereby_o he_o will_v save_v those_o that_o

let_v i_o presume_v upon_o your_o patience_n so_o far_o further_o as_o to_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o speak_v to_o the_o other_o imputation_n lay_v upon_o i_o that_o i_o be_o a_o separatist_n and_o the_o great_a in_o england_n and_o first_o i_o shall_v say_v of_o this_o word_n separatist_n as_o that_o learned_a man_n master_n hales_n of_o eton_n say_v in_o a_o little_a manuscript_n of_o he_o which_o i_o have_v see_v that_o where_o it_o may_v be_v right_o fix_v and_o deserve_o charge_v it_o be_v certain_o a_o great_a offence_n but_o in_o common_a use_n now_o among_o we_o it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o theological_a scarecrow_n wherewith_o the_o potent_a and_o prevalent_a party_n use_v to_o fright_v and_o enforce_v those_o who_o be_v not_o of_o their_o opinion_n to_o subscribe_v to_o their_o dictate_v without_o dare_v to_o question_v they_o or_o bring_v they_o to_o any_o rule_n or_o examination_n either_o of_o scripture_n or_o reason_n and_o he_o observe_v that_o this_o be_v too_o usual_a even_o in_o ancient_a time_n as_o well_o as_o now_o second_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a separation_n one_o from_o the_o universal_a or_o catholic_a church_n which_o can_v no_o otherwise_o be_v make_v but_o by_o deny_v the_o faith_n for_o faith_n and_o love_n be_v the_o requisite_n unto_o that_o communion_n the_o other_o be_v a_o separation_n from_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a church_n or_o congregation_n and_o that_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o difference_n with_o they_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n or_o love_n but_o in_o dislike_n only_o of_o such_o corruption_n in_o their_o external_a worship_n and_o liturgy_n as_o they_o do_v admit_v of_o and_o will_v enjoin_v upon_o other_o this_o be_v a_o separation_n not_o from_o their_o person_n as_o they_o be_v christian_n but_o from_o their_o corruption_n in_o matter_n of_o worship_n as_o they_o be_v therewith_o defile_v and_o this_o separation_n every_o man_n that_o will_v keep_v himself_o pure_a from_o other_o man_n sin_n and_o not_o sin_n against_o his_o own_o conscience_n must_v make_v and_o i_o will_v ingenuous_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o many_o church_n or_o congregation_n in_o england_n practise_v and_o enjoin_v upon_o all_o to_o be_v practise_v and_o suffer_v which_o i_o can_v practise_v nor_o admit_v of_o except_o i_o shall_v sin_v against_o the_o light_n of_o my_o conscience_n until_o i_o may_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v convince_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o they_o which_o hitherto_o i_o can_v never_o see_v sufficient_a ground_n for_o but_o my_o lord_n this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v i_o the_o great_a separatist_n in_o england_n that_o it_o can_v argue_v i_o to_o be_v any_o at_o all_o for_o my_o lord_n the_o bishop_n do_v know_v that_o those_o who_o they_o usual_o apply_v this_o term_n unto_o be_v the_o brownist_n as_o they_o call_v they_o by_o another_o name_n and_o they_o know_v their_o tenant_n the_o truth_n be_v they_o differ_v with_o we_o in_o no_o fundamental_a point_n of_o doctrine_n or_o save_a truth_n as_o i_o know_v their_o fail_v be_v in_o this_o they_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n in_o england_n no_o true_a ministry_n no_o true_a worship_n which_o depend_v the_o one_o upon_o the_o other_o they_o say_v all_o be_v antichristian_a here_o be_v their_o error_n they_o distinguish_v not_o between_o the_o bene_fw-la esse_fw-la or_o purity_n of_o a_o true_a church_n and_o the_o esse_fw-la or_o true_a being_n of_o it_o though_o with_o many_o defect_n and_o gross_a corruption_n but_o conclude_v that_o because_o such_o thing_n be_v want_v which_o be_v indeed_o necessary_a to_o the_o well_o be_v of_o a_o true_a church_n and_o to_o be_v desire_v therefore_o there_o be_v none_o at_o all_o in_o be_v i_o hold_v no_o such_o opinion_n but_o do_v believe_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n many_o true_a church_n and_o a_o true_a ministry_n which_o i_o do_v hear_v and_o with_o which_o church_n i_o can_v join_v in_o communion_n be_v those_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n which_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o take_v off_o and_o those_o corruption_n remove_v which_o they_o do_v contrary_a as_o i_o think_v to_o their_o duty_n yield_v unto_o and_o admit_v of_o and_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a no_o separatist_n in_o england_n hold_v that_o deserve_v that_o name_n therefore_o i_o hope_v your_o lordship_n will_n in_o that_o respect_n let_v i_o stand_v right_a in_o your_o opinion_n i_o shall_v now_o end_v with_o two_o request_n the_o one_o that_o your_o lordship_n will_v please_v to_o pardon_v i_o for_o trouble_v you_o with_o so_o long_a a_o discourse_n concerning_o myself_o i_o have_v not_o use_v it_o heretofore_o and_o i_o be_o not_o like_a to_o offend_v again_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n it_o be_v but_o once_o and_o your_o lordship_n will_v consider_v the_o occasion_n the_o second_o be_v humble_o to_o entreat_v of_o you_o that_o where_o you_o know_v there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n worship_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n and_o cause_v a_o unblameable_a conversation_n without_o any_o offence_n to_o the_o state_n in_o your_o brethren_n that_o in_o all_o these_o concur_v with_o you_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o for_o ceremony_n and_o thing_n to_o you_o indifferent_a but_o not_o to_o they_o but_o burden_n which_o without_o offence_n to_o the_o state_n or_o prejudice_n to_o the_o church_n you_o may_v take_v off_o if_o you_o will_v to_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o the_o land_n and_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n for_o if_o you_o thus_o shall_v wound_v the_o conscience_n of_o your_o brethren_n you_o will_v certain_o offend_v and_o sin_n against_o christ_n finis_fw-la
