otherwise_o in_o point_n of_o gesture_n than_o perhaps_o it_o be_v receive_v at_o the_o first_o institution_n so_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n conform_v themselves_o to_o the_o order_n and_o

to_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n or_o quarrel_n with_o our_o superior_n if_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n alterable_a be_v not_o always_o and_o in_o all_o place_n just_o the_o same_o that_o they_o be_v at_o first_o because_o there_o may_v be_v very_o just_a cause_n for_o the_o alteration_n of_o they_o and_o whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o cause_n or_o no_o in_o this_o and_o the_o like_a particular_n it_o be_v the_o church_n that_o be_v to_o be_v the_o judge_n so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o can_v be_v collect_v either_o from_o the_o canon_n

neither_o do_v mr._n baxter_n himself_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v sinful_a for_o if_o he_o do_v he_o will_v not_o say_v as_o he_o do_v pag._n 411._o of_o his_o five_o disputation_n that_o he_o himself_o will_v kneel_v rather_o than_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n or_o be_v deprive_v of_o its_o communion_n in_o which_o word_n he_o confess_v first_o that_o kneel_v at_o the_o

they_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n and_o consequent_o make_v they_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o man_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n of_o which_o sin_n of_o they_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o partaker_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n if_o he_o do_v not_o persuade_v they_o from_o it_o see_v as_o he_o himself_o say_v qui_fw-la non_fw-la vetat_fw-la peccare_fw-la cum_fw-la potest_fw-la

the_o mischief_n they_o have_v do_v and_o then_o there_o will_v be_v no_o fear_n or_o danger_n of_o minister_n be_v eject_v for_o their_o tenderness_n towards_o the_o people_n nor_o of_o the_o eject_v of_o any_o of_o the_o people_n from_o the_o communio_fw-la of_o the_o church_n for_o not_o conform_v themselves_o to_o the_o order_n and_o command_n of_o it_o and_o consequent_o there_o will_v be_v no_o schism_n or_o division_n among_o we_o when_o we_o shall_v all_o worship_n the_o same_o god_n the_o same_o way_n but_o if_o they_o will_v not_o do_v this_o which_o by_o all_o obligation_n humane_a

now_o to_o use_v mr._n baxter_n own_o word_n i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n to_o be_v find_v on_o earth_n that_o have_v the_o ordinary_a reason_n of_o a_o man_n but_o will_v confess_v that_o it_o be_v indeed_o destructive_a of_o all_o government_n and_o legislative_a power_n to_o assert_v as_o mr._n baxter_n do_v assert_v the_o command_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o itself_o lawful_a by_o lawful_a authority_n under_o no_o unjust_a punishment_n with_o no_o evil_a circumstance_n which_o the_o commander_n can_v foresee_v or_o aught_o to_o provide_v against_o for_o all_o these_o precaution_n be_v expesly_a put_v in_o the_o proposition_n which_o mr._n baxter_n deny_v be_v a_o sinful_a command_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o the_o act_n command_v may_v be_v by_o accident_n a_o sin_n let_v mr._n baxter_n then_o know_v and_o if_o he_o have_v ingenuity_n enough_o confess_v that_o the_o word_n i_o speak_v as_o to_o this_o particular_a be_v word_n of_o truth_n and_o word_n of_o charity_n also_o as_o be_v intend_v and_o speak_v to_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o undeceive_v that_o people_n who_o by_o have_v his_o person_n too_o much_o in_o admiration_n as_o if_o he_o can_v neither_o deceive_v nor_o be_v deceive_v have_v be_v so_o long_o and_o so_o dangerous_o mislead_v by_o he_o so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o i_o that_o defame_v he_o then_o but_o it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v defame_v i_o now_o neither_o can_v i_o expect_v less_o from_o the_o boldness_n of_o this_o man_n and_o that_o party_n who_o have_v have_v the_o confidence_n public_o to_o own_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o covenant_n even_o since_o it_o have_v be_v condemn_v to_o be_v burn_v by_o the_o parliament_n and_o true_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o all_o those_o book_n and_o sermon_n which_o have_v be_v preach_v and_o print_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o to_o maintain_v the_o same_o or_o worse_a principle_n of_o sedition_n then_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n shall_v not_o be_v burn_v also_o nay_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o if_o the_o author_n of_o such_o book_n and_o sermon_n be_v not_o still_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n and_o if_o they_o be_v god_n deliver_v we_o from_o such_o preacher_n if_o they_o be_v not_o still_o i_o say_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n but_o do_v true_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a for_o the_o

the_o hangman_n a_o labour_n will_v public_o burn_v they_o all_o with_o their_o own_o hand_n that_o so_o though_o by_o the_o burn_a of_o their_o work_n they_o may_v perhaps_o suffer_v some_o loss_n in_o point_n of_o reputation_n with_o some_o of_o their_o disciple_n yet_o they_o themselves_o may_v be_v save_v but_o so_o as_o by_o fire_n 1_o cor._n 3.15_o at_o least_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v

be_v the_o bishop_n of_o worcester_n and_o not_o mr._n baxter_n that_o be_v pastor_n of_o kidderminster_n as_o well_o as_o of_o all_o other_o parochial_a church_n in_o that_o diocese_n neither_o do_v

either_o parson_n vicar_n or_o curate_n there_o or_o any_o where_o else_o in_o my_o diocese_n for_o he_o never_o come_v in_o by_o the_o door_n that_o be_v by_o any_o legal_a right_n or_o lawful_a admission_n into_o that_o sheepfold_n but_o climb_v up_o some_o other_o way_n namely_o by_o violence_n and_o intrusion_n and_o therefore_o by_o christ_n own_o inference_n he_o be_v a_o thief_n and_o

of_o so_o great_a a_o congregation_n which_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o i_o be_o sure_a mr._n baxter_n be_v not_o to_o be_v the_o judge_n but_o in_o that_o case_n the_o bishop_n that_o be_v
