Edvvards, minister of the Gospel.	Edwards, Thomas, 1599-1647.; England and Wales. Parliament.	1641 (1641)	Wing E233; Thomason E167_16; ESTC R21753	47,020	78

way_n and_o know_v they_o since_o and_o have_v not_o see_v any_o of_o they_o better_o or_o more_o profitable_a in_o life_n and_o ministry_n for_o their_o charge_n only_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o for_o some_o of_o they_o whereas_o whilst_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n they_o preach_v often_o now_o seldom_o they_o go_v loose_a in_o their_o apparel_n and_o hair_n they_o take_v less_o care_n for_o the_o public_a in_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n their_o principle_n and_o spirit_n grow_v very_o narrow_a like_o their_o church_n they_o grow_v more_o strange_a reserve_v subtle_a in_o a_o word_n they_o mind_n little_a else_o but_o the_o propagation_n of_o their_o independent_a way_n as_o the_o protestation_n protest_v witness_v abundant_o and_o i_o shall_v speak_v my_o conscience_n word_n from_o the_o experience_n i_o have_v have_v of_o many_o of_o they_o have_v study_v and_o observe_v they_o and_o their_o writing_n and_o never_o see_v nor_o hear_v of_o any_o man_n who_o fall_v full_o to_o that_o way_n that_o ever_o have_v so_o large_a a_o spirit_n for_o good_a afterwards_o to_o take_v that_o care_n of_o propagate_a the_o gospel_n and_o preach_v the_o word_n to_o man_n without_o i_o never_o know_v any_o man_n that_o ever_o god_n honour_v so_o much_o after_o he_o fall_v to_o those_o principle_n as_o before_o though_o the_o same_o person_n before_o have_v be_v active_a for_o god_n do_v famous_o and_o worthy_o yet_o when_o they_o fall_v to_o this_o way_n they_o either_o blemish_v themselves_o or_o do_v little_a and_o the_o truth_n be_v those_o principle_n of_o separation_n be_v such_o as_o god_n do_v never_o honour_n much_o the_o man_n who_o hold_v they_o look_v what_o be_v say_v by_o they_o of_o episcopacy_n that_o the_o very_a call_n of_o it_o have_v such_o a_o malignity_n in_o it_o that_o it_o hurt_v the_o best_a man_n that_o be_v place_v in_o those_o chair_n that_o i_o may_v say_v true_o of_o this_o way_n there_o be_v a_o malignity_n cleave_v to_o it_o hurt_v the_o man_n that_o fall_v to_o it_o by_o alter_v their_o spirit_n and_o contract_v their_o heart_n though_o many_o of_o they_o continue_v good_a in_o the_o main_a reason_n v._o this_o be_v no_o other_o but_o envy_v in_o the_o minister_n that_o make_v they_o against_o a_o toleration_n because_o they_o fear_v their_o people_n will_v desert_v they_o and_o come_v to_o we_o be_v so_o pure_a in_o ordinance_n and_o church_n and_o thus_o the_o protestation_n protest_v speak_v and_o it_o be_v frequent_o in_o some_o of_o their_o mouth_n answ._n 1._o it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o envy_n to_o their_o minister_n and_o christian_n for_o first_o i_o hold_v their_o practice_n sinful_a and_o unwarrantable_a to_o separate_v from_o our_o church_n and_o to_o erect_v such_o congregation_n and_o therefore_o i_o speak_v against_o it_o and_o that_o by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v make_v good_a in_o a_o follow_a discourse_n 2._o it_o can_v be_v count_v envy_n in_o minister_n to_o be_v unwilling_a to_o have_v their_o flock_n and_o person_n fall_v from_o they_o be_v it_o envy_v in_o a_o father_n to_o be_v unwilling_a to_o have_v his_o child_n steal_v from_o he_o and_o tempt_v away_o by_o stranger_n i_o ask_v such_o of_o you_o who_o be_v father_n if_o you_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o have_v your_o child_n forsake_v you_o and_o that_o with_o renounce_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v they_o and_o the_o pap_n that_o give_v they_o suck_v throw_v dirt_n into_o the_o face_n of_o father_n and_o mother_n now_o this_o be_v the_o case_n for_o minister_n to_o have_v their_o spiritual_a child_n who_o they_o have_v beget_v to_o god_n who_o be_v their_o comfort_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o all_o their_o labour_n to_o fall_v from_o they_o and_o to_o despite_v they_o afterwards_o can_v be_v please_v neither_o ought_v it_o look_v what_o the_o jew_n give_v out_o false_o concerning_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n that_o his_o disciple_n come_v by_o night_n and_o steal_v it_o away_o that_o may_v be_v say_v true_o of_o his_o mystical_a body_n believer_n you_o by_o your_o toleration_n will_v have_v your_o disciple_n come_v by_o night_n and_o steal_v they_o away_o and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o sleep_v but_o to_o watch_v against_o you_o answ._n 3._o i_o envy_v you_o not_o but_o pity_n and_o love_v you_o and_o will_v not_o have_v you_o have_v such_o a_o sword_n as_o a_o toleration_n put_v into_o your_o hand_n though_o some_o among_o you_o perhaps_o may_v use_v it_o better_o to_o hurt_v yourselves_o with_o and_o to_o have_v such_o a_o occasion_n to_o run_v upon_o the_o rock_n of_o schism_n and_o to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n daily_o turn_v into_o error_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n answ._n 4._o this_o author_n will_v intimate_v and_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v as_o if_o only_a the_o honest_a soul_n be_v with_o they_o and_o will_v be_v for_o their_o way_n but_o as_o for_o they_o who_o be_v against_o their_o way_n and_o toleration_n they_o be_v not_o such_o honest_a soul_n but_o let_v they_o know_v honest_a soul_n be_v not_o only_o with_o they_o for_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n there_o ever_o have_v be_v and_o be_v as_o honest_a minister_n and_o people_n that_o have_v reject_v your_o way_n as_o ever_o any_o that_o fall_v to_o it_o nay_o the_o great_a non-conformist_n and_o most_o able_a in_o that_o way_n have_v write_v the_o most_o against_o you_o and_o labour_v upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o preserve_v people_n from_o fall_v to_o you_o as_o mr_n cartwright_n mr_n brightman_n mr_n parker_n mr_n hildersham_n dr_n ames_n mr_n bradshaw_n mr_n ball_n mr_n dod_n mr_n baines_n with_o many_o other_o reason_n vi_o ay_o but_o they_o be_v good_a man_n and_o man_n of_o great_a gift_n and_o therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v tolerate_v to_o have_v such_o church_n it_o be_v pity_n they_o shall_v leave_v the_o land_n and_o we_o lose_v their_o prayer_n answ._n 1._o the_o better_a man_n they_o be_v and_o the_o more_o able_a the_o worse_a to_o set_v up_o separate_a church_n for_o they_o will_v the_o more_o endanger_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o make_v the_o schism_n great_a 2._o for_o their_o prayer_n we_o may_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o they_o as_o well_o when_o they_o be_v absent_a as_o present_v and_o some_o of_o they_o have_v say_v they_o pray_v more_o for_o england_n when_o out_o of_o it_o than_o when_o in_o it_o 3._o they_o leave_v the_o kingdom_n when_o it_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n and_o in_o most_o need_n of_o help_n and_o provide_v for_o themselves_o to_o keep_v in_o a_o whole_a skin_n and_o without_o they_o we_o stand_v here_o in_o the_o gap_n and_o prevail_v with_o god_n and_o rather_o than_o to_o buy_v their_o company_n at_o such_o a_o rate_n as_o a_o toleration_n it_o be_v better_a to_o want_v it_o as_o i_o show_v before_o and_o i_o question_v not_o but_o the_o kingdom_n will_v do_v well_o enough_o though_o they_o return_v and_o the_o better_a unless_o they_o cease_v sow_v of_o their_o principle_n 4._o for_o this_o objection_n of_o be_v good_a man_n i_o shall_v answer_v it_o at_o large_a in_o another_o tractate_n wherein_o i_o shall_v mind_v man_n of_o many_o danger_n that_o may_v arise_v to_o they_o from_o good_a and_o eminent_a man_n and_o full_o show_v what_o little_a strength_n there_o be_v in_o that_o reason_n clear_v also_o many_o thing_n in_o reference_n to_o that_o objection_n quest_n ay_o but_o may_v not_o conscientious_a man_n who_o agree_v with_o we_o in_o the_o main_a in_o point_n of_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v tolerate_v and_o spare_v in_o some_o thing_n wherein_o they_o differ_v from_o what_o be_v common_o receive_v answ._n yes_o i_o do_v in_o my_o judgement_n much_o allow_v of_o bear_v and_o forbear_v one_o another_o in_o many_o difference_n of_o opinion_n and_o practice_n so_o as_o christian_n ought_v 3._o not_o to_o judge_v nor_o censure_v one_o another_o nor_o refuse_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n by_o not_o admit_v man_n into_o their_o church_n and_o to_o the_o ordinance_n upon_o such_o point_n which_o be_v the_o great_a fault_n of_o the_o independent_a church_n deny_v communion_n to_o many_o saint_n for_o some_o difference_n in_o judgement_n about_o church_n government_n and_o order_n which_o practice_n of_o they_o be_v express_v against_o the_o 15._o rom._n 7._o neither_o to_o force_v man_n to_o change_v their_o mind_n and_o opinion_n by_o cast_v they_o violent_o out_o of_o the_o ministry_n and_o church_n which_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o many_o in_o these_o late_a time_n and_o have_v cause_v so_o many_o schism_n and_o stir_n among_o we_o i_o approve_v not_o such_o practice_n but_o desire_v to_o be_v a_o follower_n and_o lover_n of_o all_o
