one_o of_o those_o paper_n but_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v far_o from_o provocation_n so_o my_o design_n in_o it_o be_v pure_o to_o improve_v his_o temper_n and_o not_o to_o excite_v his_o

with_o god_n assistance_n defend_v it_o against_o the_o force_n of_o his_o exception_n and_o i_o hope_v with_o clearness_n and_o temper_v for_o though_o i_o may_v be_v plain_a as_o he_o may_v expect_v i_o desire_v to_o be_v neither_o rude_a nor_o bitter_a i_o ask_v reader_n but_o the_o common_a justice_n due_a to_o all_o author_n especial_o in_o controvert_v point_n of_o religion_n to_o wit_n

we_o to_o take_v his_o advertisement_n that_o our_o liberty_n hang_v but_o by_o slender_a thread_n and_o a_o reason_n of_o state_n and_o not_o of_o nature_n right_o or_o christianity_n which_o certain_o be_v not_o to_o bespeak_v this_o considerable_a party_n to_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o government_n and_o for_o which_o i_o think_v the_o bishop_n a_o very_a moderate_a statesman_n and_o the_o government_n as_o little_o behold_v to_o his_o politic_n as_o we_o be_v to_o his_o charity_n however_o we_o will_v have_v a_o better_a opinion_n of_o our_o superior_n regard_v to_o liberty_n and_o conclude_v that_o their_o inclination_n equal_v their_o discretion_n and_o that_o their_o judgement_n as_o well_o as_o prudence_n be_v of_o that_o side_n let_v the_o bishop_n say_v what_o he_o please_v and_o though_o he_o deserve_v it_o not_o at_o my_o hand_n i_o can_v almost_o persuade_v myself_o to_o think_v that_o he_o do_v not_o begrudge_v we_o and_o mean_v not_o so_o loose_o as_o he_o write_v but_o be_v it_o as_o it_o will_v that_o god_n that_o have_v uphold_v we_o by_o it_fw-mi free_a spirit_n to_o this_o day_n through_o many_o and_o great_a affliction_n we_o firm_o believe_v will_v suffer_v nothing_o to_o attend_v we_o that_o shall_v not_o in_o the_o conclusion_n work_v for_o his_o glory_n and_o our_o good_a if_o we_o continue_v steadfast_a to_o the_o end_n in_o the_o bless_a way_n of_o righteousness_n wherein_o he_o have_v so_o often_o and_o signal_o own_a and_o preserve_v we_o notwithstanding_o the_o violence_n of_o open_a enemy_n and_o the_o treacherous_a and_o restless_a endeavour_n of_o false_a friend_n his_o 16_o paragraph_n multiply_v reflection_n as_o before_o observe_v and_o repeat_v what_o i_o have_v already_o large_o answer_v particular_o that_o we_o own_o the_o christian_a faith_n which_o he_o make_v we_o to_o wave_n suppress_v or_o at_o least_o not_o to_o confess_v and_o have_v express_v it_o even_o in_o the_o paper_n he_o have_v fault_v so_o much_o of_o shortness_n and_o that_o more_o full_o in_o all_o point_n than_o in_o the_o creed_n common_o call_v the_o athenasian_n except_o that_o about_o the_o trinity_n which_o seem_v to_o i_o less_o plain_a by_o that_o copious_a way_n take_v to_o explain_v it._n he_o also_o say_v we_o reject_v all_o outward_a positive_a part_n of_o worship_n which_o we_o deny_v for_o we_o own_o and_o use_v prayer_n preach_v and_o praise_v in_o the_o spirit_n without_o which_o they_o can_v be_v own_v or_o join_v with_o for_o they_o can_v be_v so_o perform_v to_o edification_n by_o a_o true_a christian_a worshipper_n since_o god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n which_o christ_n spirit_n must_v enable_v we_o to_o perform_v and_o such_o worshipper_n only_a god_n the_o father_n seek_v to_o worship_v he_o imply_v he_o regard_v not_o other_o worshipper_n but_o especial_o the_o bishop_n say_v we_o reject_v baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n we_o say_v we_o do_v not_o reject_v but_o disuse_n the_o sign_n because_o we_o feel_v the_o invisible_a grace_n in_o our_o soul_n they_o be_v sign_n and_o shadow_n of_o and_o therefore_o not_o in_o disrespect_n to_o the_o sign_n but_o in_o reverence_n to_o the_o divine_a substance_n they_o show_v forth_o we_o discontinue_v their_o use_n among_o we_o they_o obtain_v place_n in_o the_o infancy_n and_o twilight_n of_o the_o church_n in_o she_o more_o weak_a and_o ceremonious_a time_n direct_v as_o i_o may_v say_v that_o inter-regnum_fw-la between_o the_o law_n and_o gospel_n before_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v full_o obtain_v place_n and_o pre-eminence_n in_o the_o church_n but_o of_o this_o i_o have_v be_v already_o very_o particular_a he_o grow_v warm_a in_o his_o 17_o paragraph_n and_o episcopal_n for_o he_o say_v in_o a_o word_n i_o again_o require_v you_o as_o you_o will_v answer_v all_o your_o secret_a art_n and_o pretension_n at_o christ_n tribunal_n that_o you_o either_o embrace_v and_o profess_v the_o entire_a christian_a truth_n in_o the_o point_n wherein_o i_o have_v show_v you_o to_o be_v defective_a and_o that_o you_o receive_v the_o christian_a seal_n or_o badge_n baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n or_o else_o that_o you_o desist_v to_o lay_v claim_n to_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n but_o first_o i_o must_v return_v the_o bishop_n his_o secret_a art_n and_o pretension_n in_o all_o which_o he_o be_v grevious_o mistake_v for_o either_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v his_o meaning_n or_o i_o abhor_v it_o next_o be_v it_o know_v to_o he_o we_o wave_v not_o we_o suppress_v not_o but_o hearty_o embrace_v and_o profess_v before_o the_o whole_a world_n all_o point_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o i_o have_v ample_o signify_v before_o upon_o this_o subject_n and_o where_o the_o bishop_n take_v leave_v of_o the_o text_n he_o must_v excuse_v i_o if_o i_o leave_v he_o to_o keep_v company_n with_o it_o we_o do_v not_o entitle_v our_o paper_n all_o gospel-truths_n but_o gospel-truths_n which_o extend_v so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v tax_v with_o error_n about_o those_o truth_n and_o yet_o he_o must_v have_v but_o a_o little_a charity_n that_o will_v not_o allow_v a_o believer_n and_o follower_n of_o those_o truth_n to_o be_v a_o christian_n nor_o indeed_o have_v the_o bishop_n give_v we_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n he_o say_v we_o wave_v or_o suppress_v or_o tell_v we_o his_o own_o or_o that_o one_o church_n faith_n he_o will_v have_v we_o receive_v as_o i_o have_v complain_v already_o but_o that_o the_o bishop_n shall_v forbid_v we_o so_o much_o as_o to_o lay_v claim_n to_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n unless_o we_o will_v practise_v what_o he_o call_v the_o seal_n or_o badge_n of_o christianity_n which_o divers_a church_n in_o christendom_n think_v he_o misuse_v be_v very_o uncharitable_a and_o dogmatical_a but_o beside_o what_o i_o have_v say_v at_o large_a in_o our_o excuse_n and_o defence_n in_o that_o matter_n he_o produce_v not_o one_o scripture_n that_o call_v they_o either_o seal_n or_o badge_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v other_o thing_n
