that_o any_o know_a christian_a and_o least_o of_o all_o that_o any_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v have_v have_v such_o a_o scruple_n sith_o neither_o its_o notation_n nor_o the_o obvious_a use_n of_o the_o word_n as_o it_o be_v either_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v full_a of_o it_o or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o ordinary_a speech_n and_o acception_n among_o man_n can_v give_v any_o rise_v for_o such_o a_o groundless_a scrupulous_a fancy_n 2._o a_o dote_v about_o strife_n of_o word_n produce_v no_o profit_n but_o strife_n envy_n rail_n evil_a surmise_n perverse_a dispute_n of_o man_n of_o corrupt_a mind_n and_o destitute_a of_o the_o truth_n even_o to_o the_o subvert_n of_o the_o hearer_n see_v 1_o tim._n 6._o 4_o 5._o and_o 2_o tim._n 2._o 14._o let_v therefore_o the_o godly_a wise_a christian_n and_o minister_n avoid_v such_o question_n about_o word_n clear_a in_o themselves_o study_v to_o show_v themselves_o approve_v unto_o god_n etc._n etc._n 2_o tim._n 2._o 15._o 3._o let_v such_o wordy_a questionist_n remember_v that_o the_o pious_a and_o prudent_a contriver_n of_o the_o directory_n for_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n throughout_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n establish_v by_o our_o parliament_n in_o that_o part_n of_o it_o which_o direct_v about_o the_o solemnization_n of_o marriage_n they_o think_v it_o meet_v that_o the_o person_n to_o be_v marry_v together_o shall_v promise_v mutual_o to_o be_v faithful_a unto_o one_o another_o in_o the_o directory_n for_o the_o ordination_n of_o minister_n it_o be_v order_v that_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v ordain_v do_v declare_v a_o promise_n of_o faithfulness_n as_o well_o as_o of_o other_o duty_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ministry_n i_o do_v hence_o demand_v whether_o person_n to_o be_v marry_v or_o minister_n to_o be_v ordain_v shall_v the_o one_o sort_n of_o they_o scruple_n the_o accomplishment_n of_o their_o marriage_n or_o the_o other_o sort_n scruple_n their_o ordination_n because_o of_o the_o engagement_n to_o be_v faithful_a in_o their_o relative_a condition_n and_o whether_o they_o shall_v surcease_v rather_o therefrom_o upon_o a_o fantastical_a conceit_n that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n faithful_a may_v be_v strain_v to_o some_o ensnare_a afterwards_o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o as_o in_o domestical_a and_o ecclesiastical_a relation_n there_o be_v a_o requisiteness_n of_o promise_v to_o be_v true_a and_o faithful_a so_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v likewise_o in_o the_o relation_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n that_o there_o be_v a_o engagement_n of_o faithfulness_n thereunto_o if_o any_o man_n be_v otherwise_o mind_v touch_v be_v faithful_a in_o the_o mention_a relation_n in_o family_n church_n and_o commonwealth_n sure_o he_o seem_v to_o give_v ground_n of_o just_a jealousy_n that_o he_o mean_v not_o fair_o that_o i_o say_v no_o more_o vi_o object_n there_o be_v a_o liberty_n grant_v and_o direct_v by_o order_n of_o parliament_n that_o preacher_n in_o give_v of_o the_o covenant_n shall_v explain_v it_o and_o according_o the_o preacher_n explain_v it_o in_o such_o sense_n as_o he_o apprehend_v stand_v not_o with_o his_o freedom_n of_o conscience_n to_o subscribe_v the_o engagement_n ans._n 1._o the_o liberty_n allow_v and_o direct_v unto_o preacher_n for_o explain_v the_o covenant_n aught_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o such_o explain_v it_o as_o stand_v with_o the_o just_a and_o genuine_a sense_n of_o it_o as_o all_o rational_a man_n will_v easy_o acknowledge_v if_o any_o preacher_n take_v a_o liberty_n otherwise_o they_o do_v abuse_v their_o liberty_n yea_o it_o be_v a_o collusion_n and_o imposture_n in_o the_o preacher_n whoever_o he_o be_v to_o put_v a_o sense_n thereon_o of_o his_o own_o not_o agree_v thereto_o frustrate_v what_o in_o he_o lay_v the_o end_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o take_n of_o it_o 2._o they_o that_o thus_o object_n do_v not_o speak_v out_o what_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o preacher_n be_v that_o he_o give_v of_o the_o covenant_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o engagement_n so_o as_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o a_o full_a and_o satisfactory_a answer_n shall_v be_v make_v thereto_o his_o sense_n be_v in_o the_o dark_a may_v be_v repute_v a_o act_n of_o darkness_n albeit_o confuse_a and_o uncertain_a speech_n be_v of_o it_o in_o the_o street_n at_o noon_n day_n 3._o this_o objection_n give_v occasion_n to_o suspect_v that_o some_o person_n yea_o some_o who_o pretend_v for_o presbytery_n but_o be_v loose_o mind_v thereunto_o sith_o such_o do_v thus_o object_v do_v make_v a_o advantage_n to_o put_v the_o covenant_n to_o their_o own_o sense_n to_o free_v themselves_o thereby_o from_o the_o sacred_a bond_n of_o it_o in_o its_o own_o sense_n and_o meaning_n 4._o let_v such_o objecter_n be_v please_v for_o the_o undeceive_a themselves_o and_o their_o adherent_n plain_o and_o punctual_o in_o their_o own_o

the_o covenant_n 1._o whether_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o obligatory_a in_o its_o due_a sense_n and_o meaning_n in_o every_o article_n of_o it_o as_o well_o as_o in_o some_o branch_n of_o some_o
