A78455	Certaine additionall reasons to those presented in a letter by the ministers of London to the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, 1 Ian. 1645. Of like power and force against the toleration of Independency together with some taken out of the letter it selfe (of those ministers in which their reasons are enclosed) which lay couched somewhat obscurely.		1646 (1646)	Wing C1684; Thomason E316_10; ESTC R200525	5,414	8

we_o walk_v as_o man_n and_o appear_v to_o be_v carnal_a that_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o be_v spiritual_a therefore_o independency_n be_v a_o schism_n 4._o the_o independent_o design_n be_v to_o divide_v and_o separate_v the_o saint_n from_o the_o world_n which_o we_o will_v piece_v together_o for_o the_o church_n coat_n may_v be_v of_o divers_a colour_n as_o we_o say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o letter_n therefore_o independency_n be_v a_o schism_n reason_n under_o the_o four_o head_n viz._n many_o mischief_n will_v inevitable_o follow_v upon_o this_o toleration_n and_o that_o both_o to_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n first_o to_o the_o church_n 1._o god_n be_v now_o pull_v down_o antichrist_n and_o pull_v up_o the_o foundation_n and_o stump_n of_o that_o monster_n which_o lie_v in_o the_o pride_n ambition_n and_o worldliness_n of_o the_o ministry_n which_o the_o independent_o by_o their_o preach_n be_v daily_a discover_v and_o root_n up_o and_o the_o perfect_a of_o this_o be_v a_o mischief_n that_o will_v inevitable_o follow_v upon_o the_o toleration_n of_o independency_n now_o shall_v not_o dagons_n stump_n stand_v shall_v the_o saint_n proceed_v further_o against_o antichrist_n then_o antichrist_n can_v against_o they_o the_o lord_n still_o leave_v they_o a_o seed_n therefore_o it_o be_v but_o time_n to_o cry_v with_o that_o watcher_n from_o heaven_n dan._n 4.23_o leave_v the_o stump_n of_o the_o root_n thereof_o in_o the_o earth_n 2._o our_o trade_n and_o live_a will_v by_o degree_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n by_o toleration_n for_o either_o we_o must_v part_v with_o all_o the_o godly_a that_o will_v not_o endure_v mixture_n or_o else_o we_o must_v make_v a_o schism_n and_o displease_v the_o worldly_a party_n and_o where_o be_v then_o our_o subsistence_n so_o that_o independency_n endanger_v the_o cut_n off_o of_o a_o tribe_n in_o israel_n not_o benjamin_n but_o levi_n therefore_o independency_n be_v a_o mischief_n to_o the_o church_n 3._o the_o independent_o by_o their_o preach_n and_o other_o deportment_n do_v insinuate_v into_o and_o gain_v upon_o the_o people_n the_o reputation_n of_o painful_a and_o humble_a spirit_a man_n so_o that_o they_o will_v in_o time_n clothe_v themselves_o with_o the_o love_n of_o all_o that_o be_v but_o civil_a and_o rational_a and_o we_o the_o godly_a painful_a and_o orthodox_n ministry_n of_o the_o land_n if_o we_o shall_v proceed_v as_o be_v our_o desire_n to_o do_v we_o shall_v not_o only_o lose_v our_o maintenance_n but_o our_o honour_n and_o esteem_v therefore_o the_o toleration_n of_o these_o man_n be_v mischievous_a to_o the_o church_n 4_o the_o independent_o do_v intrust_v the_o people_n in_o a_o liberty_n which_o they_o say_v christ_n have_v give_v they_o and_o cry_v up_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o only_a rule_n and_o that_o complete_a and_o perfect_a and_o exalt_v christ_n in_o his_o prophetical_a office_n direct_v all_o man_n to_o a_o dependence_n on_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n for_o decide_v controversy_n and_o resolve_v doubt_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n minister_n and_o synod_n will_v not_o have_v that_o authority_n they_o have_v former_o have_v when_o the_o people_n shall_v examine_v their_o determination_n by_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v conclude_v therefore_o independency_n be_v mischievous_a to_o the_o church_n 5_o independent_o be_v not_o only_o against_o archbishop_n bishop_n dean_n etc._n etc._n but_o against_o all_o whatsoever_o prelacy_n of_o minister_n and_o so_o direct_o against_o that_o presbyterian_a power_n we_o will_v have_v establish_v judge_v it_o a_o plant_n which_o god_n have_v not_o plant_v and_o therefore_o will_v root_v it_o up_o therefore_o independency_n be_v a_o mischief_n to_o the_o church_n 6._o the_o independent_o will_v ever_o be_v look_v for_o further_a light_n and_o go_v on_o still_o in_o reformation_n and_o will_v carry_v the_o people_n along_o with_o they_o to_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 2_o pet._n 3._o last_o by_o which_o mean_n thing_n will_v never_o be_v settle_v perfect_o while_o the_o church_n be_v militant_a therefore_o independency_n be_v a_o mischief_n to_o the_o church_n 7._o the_o scripture_n say_v persecution_n shall_v always_o await_v the_o saint_n in_o the_o world_n as_o be_v appoint_v thereunto_o 1_o thes_n 3.3_o now_o if_o there_o be_v toleration_n there_o will_v be_v no_o persecution_n and_o then_o this_o mischief_n will_v follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n will_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o the_o church_n will_v want_v that_o glory_n of_o martyr_n suffering_n and_o suffrage_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o trial_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o glory_n of_o god_n justice_n in_o execute_v judgement_n on_o such_o as_o will_v not_o see_v when_o his_o hand_n be_v lift_v up_o who_o yet_o he_o will_v make_v to_o see_v and_o be_v ashamed_a for_o their_o envy_n at_o the_o people_n according_a to_o that_o scripture_n isa_n 26.11_o and_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o enemy_n themselves_o shall_v devour_v they_o 8._o it_o be_v impossible_a the_o whole_a land_n shall_v be_v of_o one_o mind_n and_o judgement_n in_o all_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v it_o never_o so_o much_o endeavour_v on_o all_o hand_n unless_o those_o that_o be_v contrary_a mind_a be_v destroy_v therefore_o toleration_n be_v a_o mischief_n to_o the_o church_n 9_o the_o tare_n be_v forbid_v to_o be_v pull_v up_o lest_o the_o wheat_n be_v root_v up_o with_o they_o which_o danger_n will_v be_v avoid_v by_o a_o toleration_n therefore_o toleration_n be_v a_o mischief_n 10_o the_o independent_o notwithstanding_o all_o our_o declaration_n both_o in_o pulpit_n and_o public_a place_n and_o private_a suggestion_n against_o they_o as_o that_o they_o be_v antimagistratical_a that_o they_o will_v not_o make_v know_v their_o way_n that_o they_o can_v suffer_v presbytery_n that_o they_o will_v in_o the_o end_n use_v the_o sword_n for_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o the_o division_n that_o independency_n be_v the_o inlet_n to_o all_o error_n and_o heresy_n in_o which_o we_o be_v credit_v by_o some_o and_o notwithstanding_o our_o endeavour_n to_o keep_v they_o and_o cast_v they_o out_o of_o lecture_n and_o to_o withdraw_v the_o stipend_n from_o the_o exposition_n lecture_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o increase_v daily_o and_o whether_o they_o do_v draw_v it_o be_v sure_a enough_o the_o godly_a cleave_v to_o they_o therefore_o this_o mischief_n must_v needs_o grow_v by_o the_o toleration_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o how_o unequal_a and_o unreasonable_a it_o be_v for_o they_o to_o desire_v such_o a_o thing_n 2_o branch_n mischief_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n 1_o in_o the_o

nation_n that_o entertain_v and_o cherish_v they_o i_o will_v bless_v they_o that_o bless_v thou_o therefore_o the_o toleration_n of_o independent_o be_v a_o mischief_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n 3_o the_o unthankfulness_n of_o a_o people_n to_o those_o that_o have_v be_v the_o instrument_n of_o their_o salvation_n have_v bring_v judgement_n upon_o they_o as_o in_o that_o instance_n of_o

not_o remember_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n and_o not_o show_v kindness_n to_o the_o house_n of_o gedeon_n according_a to_o all_o the_o goodness_n he_o have_v show_v to_o israel_n judg._n 8_o 34_o 35._o therefore_o the_o toleration_n of_o independent_o who_o have_v be_v instrument_n of_o so_o much_o good_a to_o the_o kingdom_n be_v mischievous_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o which_o of_o
