follow_v that_o that_o assembly_n by_o the_o fall_n of_o their_o minister_n into_o the_o grave_n shall_v from_o the_o high_a heaven_n fall_v into_o the_o grave_n of_o hell_n but_o you_o will_v say_v

by_o have_v hear_v the_o dumb_a minister_n to_o be_v one_o with_o he_o say_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o they_o to_o hear_v such_o a_o minister_n thrust_v upon_o they_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v a_o apostasy_n from_o god_n and_o a_o utter_a fall_v away_o from_o the_o gospel_n i_o see_v not_o with_o what_o great_a appearance_n of_o truth_n it_o can_v be_v speak_v moses_n when_o divers_a of_o the_o people_n cleave_v unto_o coreh_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n forsake_v willing_o the_o lawful_a and_o ordinary_a ministry_n of_o the_o aaronites_n do_v not_o therefore_o cast_v they_o forth_o from_o the_o lord_n host_n and_o shall_v the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o hear_v a_o dumb_a minister_n which_o be_v thrust_v upon_o they_o forthwith_o be_v repute_v for_o runagate_n from_o

therefore_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n confederate_n if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o seal_v set_v to_o by_o the_o dumb_a ministry_n be_v no_o seal_n which_o afterward_o come_v to_o be_v examine_v yet_o you_o thereby_o confess_v that_o those_o which_o be_v minister_v by_o sufficient_a minister_n be_v true_a and_o uncounterfeit_a sacrament_n of_o the_o church_n whereby_o it_o fall_v out_o again_o that_o you_o seem_v to_o hold_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o have_v not_o his_o command_a discipline_n hereto_o may_v be_v add_v

thereof_o break_v forth_o and_o if_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o proceed_v soft_o and_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o leaden_a foot_n unto_o the_o excommunication_n of_o one_o only_a member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n there_o ought_v very_o to_o have_v be_v great_a consultation_n take_v or_o ever_o the_o church_n of_o two_o whole_a island_n shall_v have_v be_v cast_v out_o especial_o when_o

man_n worthy_a to_o be_v excommunicate_a yet_o if_o the_o great_a part_n of_o your_o assembly_n will_v not_o yield_v consent_n thereunto_o i_o hold_v it_o that_o the_o order_n of_o the_o discipliae_n require_v that_o the_o rest_n be_v to_o bear_v the_o person_n who_o they_o can_v remove_v and_o therefore_o though_o the_o assembly_n of_o england_n have_v deserve_v through_o want_n of_o discipline_n and_o of_o a_o preach_a ministry_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o from_o the_o account_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n yet_o be_v hold_v in_o by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o church_n themselves_o aught_o to_o

you_o think_v you_o may_v just_o hold_v the_o assembly_n in_o england_n for_o no_o church_n of_o god_n and_o first_o of_o all_o to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o discipline_n for_o the_o want_n whereof_o you_o give_v they_o all_o without_o exception_n the_o black_a stone_n of_o condemnation_n from_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o as_o in_o a_o man_n there_o be_v certain_a part_n essential_a and_o such_o as_o without_o which_o the_o man_n can_v stand_v and_o other_o some_o serve_n to_o his_o comelyness_n or_o to_o his_o long_a continuance_n so_o
