weight_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o his_o preface_n from_o these_o word_n of_o mr._n a._n the_o dr._n take_v occasion_n to_o inquire_v what_o a_o rare_a advocate_n have_v this_o man_n be_v for_o the_o novatian_o donatist_n luciferian_o or_o whatsoever_o schismatic_n rend_v the_o church_n in_o piece_n in_o former_a time_n and_o suppose_v st._n cyprian_n and_o st._n austin_n and_o other_o great_a opposer_n of_o the_o ancient_a schism_n to_o be_v meet_v together_o he_o gather_v from_o these_o word_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o separation_n that_o he_o lay_v down_o elsewhere_o in_o his_o book_n how_o he_o will_v accost_v they_o page_n 198_o then_o form_v a_o elegant_a oration_n for_o he_o suppose_v he_o harangue_v it_o before_o they_o page_n 198_o 199._o and_o page_n 200._o these_o expression_n he_o put_v in_o his_o mouth_n why_o do_v you_o austin_n and_o cyprian_n and_o other_o reverend_a father_n cry_v out_o so_o often_o of_o the_o sacrilegiousness_n of_o schism_n we_o know_v no_o other_o sacrilege_n but_o the_o sacrilegious_a desertion_n of_o our_o ministry_n in_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n this_o be_v a_o sacrilege_n we_o often_o talk_v of_o and_o tell_v the_o people_n it_o be_v far_o worse_a than_o rob_v church-plate_n consider_v what_o precious_a gift_n we_o have_v these_o last_o word_n be_v i_o be_o afraid_a a_o profane_a jeer_n and_o look_v more_o like_a word_n drop_v from_o the_o pen_n of_o ben._n johnson_n or_o fletcher_n than_o that_o of_o dr._n st._n have_v not_o god_n endue_v mr._n b._n for_o it_o be_v on_o he_o he_o reflect_v and_o other_o nonconformist_n with_o precious_a gift_n for_o it_o be_v a_o scripture-word_n and_o i_o will_v make_v bold_a to_o use_v it_o though_o i_o be_v think_v to_o cant_v and_o can_v the_o dr._n deny_v it_o or_o do_v it_o become_v his_o gravity_n to_o deride_v they_o if_o he_o must_v use_v his_o sarcastic_a faculty_n i_o wish_v he_o will_v choose_v some_o common_a object_n to_o employ_v it_o on_o and_o not_o on_o thing_n that_o be_v sacred_a and_o divine_a for_o such_o be_v the_o gift_n wherewith_o mr._n b._n and_o other_o of_o his_o brethren_n be_v bless_v of_o god_n and_o i_o believe_v the_o dr._n in_o his_o conscience_n can_v deny_v it_o however_o he_o take_v liberty_n to_o deride_v they_o and_o when_o i_o pray_v and_o where_o do_v mr._n b._n or_o any_o of_o his_o brethren_n say_v they_o know_v no_o sacrilege_n but_o that_o of_o the_o sacrilegious_a desertion_n of_o their_o ministry_n let_v this_o be_v prove_v or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v repute_v a_o defamation_n but_o peradventure_o the_o dr._n will_v say_v that_o when_o man_n play_v the_o orator_n they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o speak_v exact_a truth_n but_o where_o will_v he_o find_v any_o thing_n in_o scripture_n to_o patronise_v it_o he_o endeavour_v to_o justify_v a_o ugly_a sarcasm_n that_o he_o make_v use_v of_o in_o his_o s●rmon_n by_o these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n but_o i_o be_o not_o very_o certain_a they_o will_v serve_v his_o purpose_n for_o some_o man_n that_o the_o dr._n value_v as_o well_o as_o some_o that_o he_o despise_v give_v another_o interpretation_n of_o they_o as_o he_o very_o well_o know_v but_o where_o he_o will_v find_v any_o to_o justify_v this_o catechrestical_a scoff_n i_o can_v tell_v but_o may_v be_v he_o may_v find_v or_o make_v one_o do_v it_o but_o why_o do_v the_o dr._n add_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n do_v all_o law_n oblige_v so_o far_o as_o for_o minister_n upon_o that_o account_n to_o desert_n their_o office_n if_o so_o then_o may_v not_o only_o the_o three_o child_n go_v to_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n and_o daniel_n to_o the_o lion_n but_o all_o protestant_a preacher_n to_o the_o flame_n if_o they_o continue_v to_o exercise_v their_o ministry_n against_o the_o prohibition_n of_o popish_a law_n if_o not_o then_o it_o be_v not_o law_n but_o the_o equity_n and_o justice_n of_o law_n that_o lay_v a_o obligation_n on_o they_o and_o that_o be_v the_o controversy_n between_o he_o and_o his_o nonconformable_a brethren_n in_o which_o i_o will_v not_o

be_v a_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n of_o discourse_n that_o run_v through_o a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o book_n and_o which_o render_v it_o invalid_a to_o his_o adversary_n and_o especial_o mr._n b._n but_o the_o dr._n inquire_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sin_n to_o break_v the_o church_n communion_n p._n 198._o to_o which_o i_o answer_v yes_o doubtless_o all_o unnecessary_a separation_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o such_o i_o do_v esteem_n much_o of_o the_o present_a separation_n in_o england_n but_o what_o then_o be_v all_o that_o be_v schismatical_a unworthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o

be_v not_o drunkenness_n adultery_n lie_v and_o swear_v sin_n yes_o sure_o it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o must_v all_o these_o criminal_n be_v injure_v proscribe_v and_o send_v to_o the_o indies_n this_o will_v be_v think_v unreasonable_a and_o why_o person_n of_o some_o schismatical_a principle_n provide_v the_o main_a of_o their_o doctrine_n be_v sound_a and_o consistent_a with_o christianity_n may_v not_o have_v as_o much_o favour_n as_o drunkard_n and_o other_o immoral_a man_n i_o know_v not_o but_o be_v there_o no_o other_o way_n of_o reform_v the_o schismatical_a bumor_n of_o man_n but_o gaol_n and_o confiscation_n and_o other_o like_a argument_n be_v there_o no_o method_n of_o reclaim_v schismatic_n but_o by_o rod_n and_o axe_n be_v not_o personal_a instruction_n and_o kindness_n more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o pastoral_n office_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o saviour_n who_o servant_n we_o be_v and_o who_o work_n we_o be_v to_o do_v in_o the_o world_n methinks_v no_o man_n that_o have_v read_v the_o new_a testament_n shall_v doubt_v of_o it_o and_o i_o do_v confess_v that_o i_o hate_v these_o military_a method_n of_o convert_v dissenter_n and_o i_o never_o see_v any_o good_a come_v of_o they_o i_o live_v in_o a_o town_n where_o there_o be_v some_o dissenter_n i_o have_v always_o treat_v they_o with_o kindness_n and_o have_v avoid_v to_o exasperate_v they_o either_o in_o my_o public_a or_o private_a discourse_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o will_v come_v sometime_o to_o hear_v i_o and_o will_v grant_v i_o to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whereas_o have_v i_o rail_v at_o they_o or_o prosecute_v they_o at_o law_n or_o encourage_v other_o to_o do_v it_o they_o will_v never_o have_v come_v at_o i_o but_o account_v i_o a_o limb_n of_o antichrist_n and_o a_o factor_n or_o agent_n for_o the_o devil_n and_o i_o must_v and_o do_v open_o avow_v that_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o my_o mind_n to_o think_v that_o when_o they_o be_v absent_a from_o my_o congregation_n they_o be_v serve_v god_n elsewhere_o than_o it_o will_v be_v to_o think_v they_o be_v some_o of_o they_o in_o prison_n their_o family_n want_v bread_n and_o other_o cry_v to_o god_n for_o vengeance_n on_o i_o as_o a_o persecutor_n and_o which_o be_v most_o easy_a to_o my_o mind_n live_v i_o doubt_v not_o will_v be_v so_o die_v they_o be_v person_n of_o holy_a life_n and_o upright_a conversation_n at_o least_o some_o of_o they_o and_o i_o will_v not_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o persecute_v and_o undo_v they_o for_o all_o the_o preferment_n this_o church_n or_o this_o world_n afford_v let_v i_o add_v thus_o much_o on_o the_o behalf_n of_o mr._n a._n i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o either_o desire_n or_o plead_v for_o universal_a toleration_n or_o will_v defend_v all_o the_o ancient_a schismatic_n or_o that_o he_o will_v open_v his_o mouth_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o socinian_o arrian_n anti-trinitarians_a quaker_n or_o other_o like_a sectarian_n infidel_n all_o that_o he_o plead_v for_o be_v liberty_n for_o peaceable_a and_o christian_a dissenter_n but_o i_o do_v think_v that_o the_o reverend_a dr._n have_v

for_o though_o the_o diocese_n of_o our_o english_a bishop_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n which_o the_o dr._n acknowledge_v to_o be_v too_o great_a and_o spacious_a yet_o i_o

in_o many_o place_n of_o his_o book_n and_o in_o his_o preface_n very_o jealous_a of_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o reformation_n and_o positive_o resolve_v never_o to_o condemn_v the_o constitution_n
