unconcernedness_n as_o the_o rock_n break_v the_o wave_n that_o dash_v against_o it_o but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v hot-brained_a man_n of_o all_o party_n some_o of_o their_o

soeinians_n present_o because_o they_o be_v able_a to_o confute_v they_o without_o run_v into_o a_o unseemly_a passion_n other_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o well_o affect_v to_o the_o church_n of_o

you_o before_o though_o not_o to_o the_o false_a and_o spurious_a gloss_n that_o some_o have_v be_v please_v to_o put_v upon_o they_o i_o will_v just_o mention_v some_o few_o thing_n they_o hold_v which_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o clear_v they_o of_o the_o gross_a of_o those_o imputation_n they_o have_v suffer_v under_o they_o hold_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n that_o the_o

of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o that_o he_o suffer_v death_n upon_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o redemption_n and_o make_v there_o by_o his_o own_o oblation_n of_o himself_o once_o offer_v a_o full_a

exclude_v the_o other_o condition_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v indispensable_o require_v in_o the_o gospel_n i_o may_v allege_v other_o instance_n but_o these_o be_v enough_o to_o take_v away_o the_o scandal_n of_o socinianism_n at_o least_o and_o thus_o have_v i_o give_v you_o my_o opinion_n free_o what_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o great_a apprehension_n that_o some_o have_v entertain_v as_o if_o the_o conform_v clergy_n be_v turn_v heretic_n and_o i_o can_v find_v they_o to_o be_v no_o other_o than_o that_o there_o be_v need_n enough_o of_o some_o new_a pretence_n for_o separation_n and_o that_o many_o of_o the_o conformist_n be_v of_o more_o mild_a and_o peaceable_a disposition_n and_o treat_v their_o adversary_n with_o more_o civility_n and_o respect_n than_o other_o do_v as_o you_o know_v they_o that_o have_v a_o good_a cause_n and_o be_v able_a to_o defend_v it_o be_v not_o trouble_v but_o rather_o please_v to_o have_v their_o opinion_n inquire_v into_o but_o those_o that_o be_v conscious_a of_o their_o own_o weakness_n or_o distrust_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o they_o maintain_v can_v endure_v to_o have_v it_o question_v and_o be_v extreme_o

we_o i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o chief_o to_o that_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n where_o he_o show_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o 3._o his_o dwarfish_a endeavour_n to_o reach_v the_o height_n of_o dr._n seaman_n be_v worth_a where_o i_o shall_v not_o in_o the_o least_o detract_v from_o the_o doctor_n for_o i_o observe_v that_o mr._n jenkyn_n himself_o however_o he_o like_v they_o whilst_o they_o be_v live_v seem_v to_o have_v a_o special_a kindness_n for_o dead_a bishop_n as_o appear_v by_o divers_a instance_n in_o this_o sermon_n and_o some_o other_o and_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v more_o uncivil_a to_o his_o depart_a friend_n than_o he_o be_v to_o we_o i_o have_v think_v have_v it_o be_v possible_a to_o have_v put_v his_o extravagance_n into_o some_o order_n and_o to_o have_v digest_v my_o answer_n into_o the_o same_o method_n but_o because_o i_o find_v that_o very_o difficult_a i_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o take_v they_o general_o as_o they_o lie_v only_o whereas_o he_o usual_o mingle_v his_o invective_n and_o his_o panegyric_n together_o i_o shall_v take_v the_o boldness_n to_o part_v they_o and_o first_o consider_v some_o of_o the_o thing_n for_o which_o he_o commend_v the_o doctor_n and_o then_o take_v notice_n of_o those_o matter_n for_o which_o he_o do_v inveigh_v at_o we_o and_o he_o praise_v the_o doctor_n for_o his_o excellency_n in_o the_o theological_a school_n in_o his_o pastoral_a employment_n and_o in_o his_o christian_a capacity_n and_o i_o shall_v not_o question_v any_o thing_n of_o all_o this_o let_v he_o be_v a_o most_o acute_a

his_o authority_n but_o yet_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o hope_v the_o best_a but_o towards_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o this_o large_a encomium_n he_o bring_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o unlucky_a apology_n for_o ill-nature_n now_o if_o the_o doctor_n have_v any_o such_o defect_n in_o his_o temper_n as_o he_o seem_v to_o suppose_v yet_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v correct_v in_o good_a measure_n and_o mr._n jenkyn_n may_v have_v spare_v he_o there_o but_o i_o believe_v he_o intend_v to_o speak_v one_o good_a word_n for_o the_o doctor_n and_o two_o for_o himself_o for_o he_o have_v as_o little_a reason_n as_o any_o man_n i_o know_v to_o be_v much_o in_o love_n with_o natural_a sweetness_n but_o let_v that_o pass_v there_o be_v something_o else_o more_o material_a that_o must_v be_v consider_v and_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o when_o the_o doctor_n keep_v his_o divinity_n act_n the_o design_n of_o his_o position_n which_o therein_o he_o maintain_v be_v to_o assert_v the_o providence_n of_o 52._o god_n in_o dispose_v of_o political_a government_n a_o thing_n which_o no_o sober_a man_n ever_o deny_v and_o yet_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o point_n till_o that_o time_n little_o study_v that_o be_v strange_a do_v he_o never_o hear_v of_o the_o disputation_n the_o platonist_n and_o stoic_n and_o epicurean_o have_v concern_v this_o and_o some_o of_o these_o it_o be_v think_v be_v a_o

several_a have_v receive_v light_n therein_o from_o this_o burn_a and_o shine_a light_n it_o be_v very_o well_o if_o they_o have_v and_o i_o believe_v he_o can_v tell_v we_o too_o if_o he_o please_v who_o they_o be_v that_o have_v be_v thus_o illuminate_v and_o among_o the_o rest_n no_o doubt_n he_o himself_o have_v have_v a_o very_a signal_n advantage_n by_o it_o and_o have_v the_o most_o

be_v but_o successful_a enough_o to_o place_v it_o on_o his_o own_o head_n but_o mr._n jenkyn_n must_v know_v that_o though_o this_o assertion_n be_v a_o good_a expedient_a to_o secure_v one_o neck_n under_o a_o illegal_a and_o tyrannical_a power_n yet_o it_o can_v never_o make_v he_o a_o faithful_a subject_n to_o his_o natural_a and_o lawful_a prince_n for_o it_o rob_v he_o of_o the_o title_n

reason_n if_o he_o submit_v to_o his_o majesty_n authority_n because_o of_o a_o extraordinary_a providence_n that_o he_o do_v not_o yield_v obedience_n to_o the_o episcopal_a power_n upon_o the_o

against_o that_o who_o seem_v content_v with_o his_o majesty_n return_n i_o easy_o foresee_v what_o he_o will_v answer_v that_o the_o position_n must_v be_v restrain_v to_o the_o political_a government_n and_o that_o it_o will_v do_v mischief_n enough_o there_o but_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o find_v many_o pretence_n to_o disturb_v the_o church_n without_o the_o help_n of_o this_o engine_n it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o yet_o i_o think_v still_o the_o demand_n will_v not_o be_v impertinent_a and_o if_o he_o will_v maintain_v that_o it_o must_v be_v allow_v in_o civil_a i_o will_v undertake_v to_o prove_v by_o as_o good_a argument_n as_o he_o that_o it_o must_v be_v of_o as_o much_o force_n in_o ecclesiastical_a affair_n but_o let_v he_o go_v for_o a_o wonderful_a statesman_n as_o he_o be_v another_o thing_n for_o which_o he_o commend_v the_o doctor_n be_v his_o great_a stability_n and_o steadiness_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o to_o give_v he_o his_o due_n i_o have_v often_o hear_v that_o he_o be_v the_o only_a man_n in_o england_n almost_o that_o remain_v constant_a to_o his_o first_o principle_n when_o most_o of_o the_o rest_n be_v apparent_o warp_a another_o way_n then_o a_o little_a after_o he_o go_v on_o in_o the_o same_o character_n of_o he_o still_o i_o be_o confident_a he_o value_v one_o truth_n of_o christ_n above_o all_o the_o wealth_n of_o both_o the_o indies_n it_o be_v well_o he_o be_v never_o tempt_v for_o all_o that_o one_o truth_n what_o one_o truth_n be_v that_o i_o pray_v which_o the_o doctor_n esteem_v so_o high_o be_v it_o that_o concern_v discipline_n and_o church_n government_n if_o it_o be_v then_o i_o believe_v mr._n jenkyn_n be_v as_o well_o fix_v as_o he_o for_o he_o will_v soon_o tell_v a_o great_a many_o notorious_a falsehood_n and_o print_v they_o too_o than_o ever_o be_v so_o base_a as_o to_o betray_v that_o one_o truth_n o_o no_o by_o no_o mean_n neither_o music_n nor_o furnace_n flattery_n nor_o threat_n but_o yet_o i_o think_v the_o last_o may_v do_v when_o nothing_o else_o will_v for_o we_o have_v know_v by_o experience_n for_o all_o his_o hufle_n that_o some_o thing_n be_v able_a at_o least_o to_o affright_v he_o from_o the_o truth_n but_o the_o doctor_n be_v not_o a_o silken_a diotrephes_n that_o will_v debauch_v his_o conscience_n for_o a_o preferment_n it_o be_v like_a enough_o but_o what_o then_o be_v there_o any_o body_n else_o that_o do_v so_o yes_o i_o will_v warrant_v you_o among_o these_o conformist_n he_o can_v tell_v but_o you_o must_v excuse_v he_o it_o be_v a_o subtle_a man_n he_o do_v not_o use_v to_o speak_v all_o he_o know_v but_o some_o such_o thing_n must_v be_v employ_v or_o else_o this_o elogium_fw-la here_o be_v very_o childish_a and_o cold_a and_o too_o far_o from_o the_o temper_n of_o he_o that_o make_v it_o and_o mr._n jenkyn_n i_o be_o sure_a be_v a_o better_a rhetorician_n than_o so_o ever_o to_o think_v to_o commend_v the_o doctor_n for_o the_o forbear_n of_o that_o which_o no_o body_n in_o the_o world_n be_v guilty_a of_o but_o what_o if_o i_o shall_v prove_v now_o that_o this_o silken_a diotrephes_n be_v a_o nonconformist_a this_o be_v a_o most_o

be_v such_o a_o one_o and_o in_o some_o thing_n just_a like_o mr._n jenkyn_n himself_o for_o he_o be_v not_o one_o that_o by_o right_n have_v but_o only_o that_o love_v desire_a and_o affect_v to_o have_v or_o it_o may_v be_v one_o that_o in_o the_o absence_n of_o his_o lawful_a superior_a actual_o usurp_v the_o preeminence_n he_o be_v one_o that_o scornful_o reject_v the_o injunction_n that_o the_o apostle_n send_v in_o write_v to_o the_o church_n and_o be_v so_o far_o from_o submit_v to_o they_o that_o he_o presume_v to_o excommunicate_v those_o that_o be_v commissionated_a by_o his_o authority_n and_o that_o he_o may_v be_v complete_a he_o be_v one_o that_o rule_v his_o tongue_n too_o like_o some_o body_n else_o and_o that_o must_v be_v always_o prate_v against_o his_o better_n with_o malicious_a word_n and_o s._n john_n the_o most_o love_a and_o compassionate_a spirit_n in_o the_o world_n be_v a_o little_a move_v with_o this_o malapart_n and_o saucy_a carriage_n and_o
