this_o examination_n be_v obtain_v though_o the_o form_n or_o manner_n be_v not_o punctual_a as_o namely_o that_o a_o man_n have_v competent_a knowledge_n of_o this_o ordinance_n and_o be_v so_o

end_n of_o examination_n be_v attain_v nay_o if_o one_o shall_v come_v and_o declare_v himself_o by_o confession_n of_o his_o christian_a faith_n and_o purpose_n of_o life_n without_o any_o question_n propound_v or_o ask_v i_o shall_v not_o so_o dote_v upon_o question_n and_o form_n of_o examination_n as_o not_o to_o pass_v such_o a_o one_o for_o a_o know_a man_n because_o i_o have_v attain_v the_o end_n of_o all_o examination_n which_o be_v i_o know_v that_o he_o have_v knowledge_n competent_a not_o that_o i_o will_v encourage_v any_o man_n to_o break_v a_o wholesome_a order_n or_o

itself_o above_o the_o form_n not_o deny_v the_o right_n which_o he_o have_v by_o his_o knowledge_n and_o profession_n nor_o thrust_v he_o upon_o a_o separation_n mere_o upon_o a_o form_n except_o in_o one_o case_n that_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o break_v a_o public_a order_n and_o to_o destroy_v it_o by_o his_o example_n as_o if_o a_o man_n tear_v my_o hedge_n upon_o a_o just_a occasion_n i_o

to_o such_o question_n as_o be_v of_o necessity_n to_o this_o sacrament_n there_o be_v print_v some_o few_o question_n and_o answer_n as_o the_o rule_n and_o bound_n of_o it_o some_o five_o or_o six_o year_n since_o for_o i_o dare_v not_o trust_v the_o discretion_n of_o all_o man_n without_o a_o gage_n and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v ask_v i_o such_o a_o question_n as_o be_v not_o necessary_a or_o for_o a_o scholar_n to_o know_v or_o to_o pry_v into_o my_o secrets_n i_o shall_v though_o i_o can_v answer_v crave_v excuse_n i_o be_o afraid_a of_o and_o terrible_o hate_v auricular_a confession_n i_o love_v no_o step_n towards_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o answer_v upon_o my_o own_o liberty_n 5._o though_o some_o will_v say_v i_o can_v declare_v myself_o to_o my_o minister_n but_o not_o otherwise_o i_o confess_v the_o pastor_n have_v the_o great_a account_n to_o make_v of_o his_o people_n and_o be_v most_o concern_v but_o what_o if_o the_o church_n will_v not_o trust_v he_o with_o that_o report_n as_o all_o minister_n be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v with_o it_o such_o be_v their_o looseness_n in_o this_o point_n and_o too_o much_o facility_n and_o be_v i_o to_o choose_v i_o have_v rather_o do_v it_o under_o the_o eye_n of_o witness_n especial_o in_o converse_v with_o woman_n who_o though_o in_o one_o regard_n their_o modesty_n hinder_v to_o speak_v before_o other_o yet_o in_o other_o regard_n be_v matter_n of_o occasion_n to_o they_o that_o be_v ill_o mind_v which_o must_v needs_o be_v avoid_v provide_v thing_n honest_a not_o before_o god_n but_o man_n 6._o last_o let_v man_n lay_v conscience_n to_o the_o point_n and_o set_v by_o passion_n and_o prejudice_n both_o examiner_n and_o examine_v and_o in_o humility_n and_o meekness_n deny_v themselves_o to_o keep_v up_o some_o face_n of_o order_n in_o these_o break_a time_n let_v your_o thirst_n to_o this_o sacrament_n carry_v you_o through_o a_o thorn-hedge_n and_o i_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n shall_v stoop_v
