what_o the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v concern_v his_o church_n and_o worship_n what_o order_n and_o rule_v he_o have_v prescribe_v and_o leave_v we_o by_o his_o own_o son_n in_o the_o

christ_n but_o this_o be_v as_o true_a as_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o true_a church_n the_o which_o they_o do_v now_o dispute_n now_o mr._n seymour_n one_o of_o the_o assembly_n affirm_v it_o in_o a_o dispute_n affirm_v to_o prove_v their_o antichristian_a stand_v true_o and_o now_o here_o by_o the_o way_n i_o will_v occasional_o put_v a_o few_o query_n first_o whether_o in_o case_n a_o form_n of_o church-government_n and_o worship_n contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v by_o force_n put_v upon_o we_o against_o our_o conscience_n by_o the_o parliament_n and_o

the_o rather_o because_o it_o be_v enforce_v by_o another_o nation_n and_o without_o the_o king_n approbation_n as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o scot_n in_o like_a manner_n to_o reject_v and_o resist_v the_o form_n of_o church-government_n and_o worship_n put_v violent_o upon_o they_o against_o their_o conscience_n by_o the_o king_n and_o bishop_n second_o whether_o the_o scot_n ought_v or_o have_v any_o more_o authority_n or_o right_a to_o prescribe_v or_o endeavour_v a_o imposition_n of_o church-government_n and_o worship_n upon_o the_o people_n of_o england_n than_o the_o people_n of_o

last_o do_v not_o move_v out_o of_o their_o sphere_n and_o intermeddle_v with_o what_o they_o ought_v not_o and_o now_o see_v there_o be_v as_o can_v be_v deny_v a_o more_o high_a pitch_n of_o

you_o act._n 7.51_o i_o have_v insist_v the_o more_o upon_o this_o particular_a that_o the_o truth_n herein_o may_v be_v clear_a because_o of_o the_o great_a delusion_n put_v upon_o the_o people_n by_o many_o of_o our_o pretend_v reformer_n through_o their_o grand_a oath_n and_o pretext_n of_o expel_v all_o popery_n and_o popish_a innovation_n even_o whatsoever_o shall_v be_v contrary_a to_o

to_o every_o good_a work_n reprobate_a but_o to_o speak_v more_o particular_o of_o our_o own_o presbyterian_a reformer_n the_o scotist_n of_o our_o kingdom_n m._n hollis_n stapleton_n and_o the_o
