with_o more_o then_o i_o have_v ground_n to_o think_v be_v just_o your_o due_n that_o i_o will_v glad_o take_v your_o word_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o so_o pass_v it_o over_o but_o i_o hope_v you_o

all_o make_v the_o same_o judgement_n of_o it_o and_o i_o think_v in_o reason_n that_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v the_o design_n of_o a_o book_n whatever_o be_v the_o secret_a and_o unknown_a intention_n of_o the_o writer_n which_o the_o word_n themselves_o and_o the_o manner_n of_o write_v without_o any_o strein_v do_v offer_v unto_o every_o serious_a and_o inquisitive_a reader_n second_o this_o

in_o your_o very_a next_o paragraph_n and_o likewise_o elsewhere_o in_o this_o last_o book_n 61._o you_o call_v separation_n a_o cry_a sin_n nay_o the_o cry_a sin_n and_o you_o scruple_n not_o to_o

what_o you_o have_v write_v against_o they_o but_o add_v to_o these_o your_o several_a other_o treatise_n as_o about_o baptism_n confirmation_n church_n government_n commonwealth_n etc._n etc._n your_o book_n will_v in_o all_o amount_v to_o as_o many_o volume_n as_o tostatus_n write_v concern_v who_o and_o all_o such_o kind_n of_o writer_n you_o once_o give_v this_o true_a character_n

and_o then_o tell_v i_o in_o earnest_n what_o you_o think_v of_o yourself_o for_o here_o according_a to_o your_o own_o word_n 25._o evidence_n must_v decide_v the_o case_n i_o think_v sir_n i_o may_v say_v to_o you_o with_o every_o whit_n as_o much_o truth_n and_o candour_n what_o you_o disingenious_o reply_v upon_o i_o 91._o i_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o make_v you_o odious_a nor_o to_o open_v your_o sin_n to_o other_o but_o you_o have_v open_v it_o to_o the_o world_n and_o i_o must_v open_v it_o to_o you_o if_o possible_o you_o may_v repent_v and_o therefore_o have_v say_v this_o to_o yourself_o that_o by_o set_v before_o you_o some_o few_o of_o your_o many_o fail_n you_o may_v be_v humble_v and_o come_v to_o a_o more_o sober_a understanding_n of_o yourself_o and_o way_n i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v something_o and_o that_o very_o brief_o to_o the_o question_n about_o conformity_n which_o have_v occasion_v all_o this_o heat_n betwixt_o we_o and_o in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o i_o think_v i_o may_v also_o say_v as_o you_o sometime_o do_v rest_n i_o approve_v not_o tautology_n nor_o a_o tedious_a stile_n nor_o the_o heap_v up_o of_o useless_a matter_n and_o word_n which_o rule_n in_o writing_n though_o you_o forget_v to_o observe_v yet_o i_o shall_v keep_v close_o to_o for_o truth_n need_v not_o many_o word_n to_o defend_v it_o in_o the_o state_v of_o this_o question_n you_o do_v yourself_o grant_v so_o much_o that_o you_o scarce_o leave_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v either_o dispute_v or_o deny_v by_o those_o who_o you_o pretend_v with_o so_o much_o vehemency_n to_o oppose_v for_o first_o you_o grant_v 75._o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o a_o diocesan_n church_n as_o such_o and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o own_o diocesan_n bishop_n second_o you_o allow_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o persecutor_n nor_o with_o such_o as_o have_v consent_v to_o our_o silence_v three_o you_o affirm_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o communicate_v with_o parish_n church_n only_o nor_o with_o all_o of_o they_o and_o particular_o not_o with_o such_o who_o pastor_n be_v through_o insufficiency_n heresy_n and_o impiety_n intolerable_a and_o this_o you_o tell_v we_o be_v your_o own_o practice_n for_o you_o say_v 36._o you_o resolve_v if_o you_o live_v where_o be_v a_o intolerable_a minister_n you_o will_v not_o hear_v he_o nor_o come_v near_o he_o so_o as_o to_o encourage_v he_o in_o his_o undertake_n of_o that_o sacred_a office_n all_o this_o and_o more_o of_o this_o nature_n which_o you_o assert_v be_v grant_v i_o scarce_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o you_o contend_v for_o or_o so_o earnest_o declaim_v against_o since_o from_o these_o ground_n separation_n at_o this_o day_n may_v easy_o be_v justify_v for_o first_o every_o parish_n church_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o diocesan_n and_o if_o a_o diocesan_n church_n as_o such_o be_v not_o to_o be_v communicate_v with_o than_o a_o parish_n church_n as_o such_o be_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o since_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n of_o the_o part_n as_o of_o the_o whole_a and_o you_o must_v find_v out_o a_o new_a logic_n before_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o if_o the_o whole_a be_v corrupt_a any_o of_o the_o part_n be_v clean_a and_o fit_a for_o our_o communion_n second_o a_o parish_n minister_n be_v in_o that_o station_n and_o office_n but_o a_o servant_n of_o the_o diocesan_n bishop_n and_o therefore_o right_o call_v a_o curate_n and_o if_o we_o may_v not_o own_o as_o you_o grant_v the_o bishop_n i_o think_v it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o his_o substitute_n and_o curate_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v any_o respect_n from_o we_o we_o do_v not_o use_v in_o other_o case_n to_o regard_v the_o man_n when_o we_o think_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o despise_v the_o master_n three_o if_o persecutor_n be_v not_o to_o be_v communicate_v with_o nor_o such_o as_o have_v consent_v to_o our_o silence_v which_o you_o also_o allow_v though_o i_o can_v wish_v you_o have_v prove_v it_o better_o than_o by_o the_o obscure_a and_o disputable_a example_n of_o martin_n 76_o than_o i_o think_v very_o few_o if_o any_o of_o the_o parish_n minister_n but_o must_v even_o upon_o this_o account_n also_o be_v separate_v from_o since_o either_o by_o open_a consent_n or_o else_o by_o a_o undo_v and_o pernicious_a silence_n they_o have_v all_o make_v themselves_o guilty_a of_o that_o grievous_a sin_n there_o be_v but_o little_a difference_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n between_o the_o persecute_v of_o brethren_n ourselves_o and_o by_o not_o sharp_o reprove_v it_o seem_v to_o approve_v of_o it_o in_o other_o last_o admit_v there_o be_v some_o worthy_a and_o able_a man_n among_o the_o parish_n minister_n which_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o believe_v never_o a_o whit_n the_o more_o because_o you_o affirm_v it_o yet_o this_o we_o must_v say_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v great_a in_o submit_v to_o so_o undue_a a_o way_n of_o enter_v into_o the_o ministry_n and_o therefore_o we_o both_o forbear_v ourselves_o and_o warn_v all_o other_o not_o to_o hear_v they_o because_o we_o can_v think_v our_o lord_n christ_n ever_o send_v such_o to_o preach_v in_o his_o name_n who_o direct_o and_o by_o a_o solemn_a oath_n have_v renounce_v their_o christian_a liberty_n under_o pretence_n of_o preach_a christ_n and_o be_v indeed_o nothing_o else_o as_o to_o the_o whole_a discharge_n and_o exercise_v of_o their_o office_n but_o servant_n of_o man_n which_o we_o have_v already_o full_o learn_v from_o the_o apostle_n be_v altogether_o inconsistent_a with_o be_v servant_n of_o christ_n galatian_n 1.10_o 1_o corin._n 7.23_o and_o therefore_o as_o such_o we_o can_v own_v they_o for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o as_o you_o

faulty_a impose_v church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o this_o we_o affirm_v because_o first_o we_o know_v not_o how_o else_o to_o preserve_v our_o christian_a liberty_n which_o it_o be_v a_o indispensible_a duty_n to_o maintain_v but_o by_o separate_v from_o those_o who_o will_v undue_o take_v it_o from_o we_o second_o be_v present_a where_o those_o thing_n be_v use_v in_o the_o

for_o the_o contrary_a the_o lord_n will_v otherwise_o interpret_v it_o since_o he_o have_v so_o strict_o charge_v we_o to_o keep_v far_o from_o a_o false_a matter_n and_o not_o to_o partake_v in_o other_o man_n sin_n last_o whatever_o pretence_n may_v be_v use_v as_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o write_v declamation_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o peace_n yet_o to_o speak_v strict_o and_o so_o as_o to_o
