for_o a_o minister_n the_o word_n priest_n be_v make_v common_a to_o both_o whatsoever_o the_o derivation_n be_v yet_o in_o use_n it_o confound_v the_o minister_n with_o the_o sacrificer_n and_o for_o a_o example_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o do_v ever_o allow_v the_o discretion_n and_o tenderness_n of_o the_o rhemish_a translation_n in_o this_o point_n that_o find_v in_o the_o original_a the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o never_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v ever_o translate_v charity_n and_o never_o love_n because_o of_o of_o the_o indifferency_n and_o equivocation_n of_o the_o word_n with_o impure_a love_n touch_v the_o absolution_n it_o be_v not_o unworthy_a consideration_n whether_o it_o may_v not_o be_v think_v unproper_a and_o unnecessary_a for_o there_o be_v but_o two_o sort_n of_o absolution_n both_o suppose_v a_o obligation_n precedent_n the_o one_o upon_o a_o excommunication_n which_o be_v religious_a and_o primitive_a the_o other_o upon_o confession_n and_o penance_n which_o be_v superstitious_a or_o at_o least_o positive_a and_o both_o particular_a neither_o general_n therefore_o since_o the_o one_o be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o other_o have_v his_o proper_a case_n what_o do_v a_o general_a absolution_n wherein_o there_o be_v neither_o penance_n nor_o excommunication_n precedent_n for_o the_o church_n never_o lose_v but_o where_o the_o church_n have_v bind_v and_o sure_o i_o may_v think_v this_o at_o the_o first_o be_v allow_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o spiritual_a discretion_n because_o the_o church_n think_v the_o people_n can_v not_o be_v sudden_o wean_v from_o their_o conceit_n of_o assoyl_a to_o which_o they_o have_v be_v so_o long_o accustom_v for_o confirmation_n to_o my_o understanding_n the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n

to_o the_o communion_n for_o whereas_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n child_n be_v examine_v of_o their_o faith_n before_o they_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o communion_n time_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v

condemn_v it_o and_o i_o hear_v it_o not_o general_o defend_v and_o i_o have_v often_o marvail_v that_o where_o the_o book_n in_o the_o preface_n to_o public_a baptism_n do_v acknowledge_v that_o baptism_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v anniversary_n and_o but_o at_o certain_a time_n which_o show_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v not_o attribute_n so_o much_o to_o the_o ceremony_n as_o they_o will_v break_v a_o outward_a and_o general_a order_n for_o it_o the_o book_n shall_v afterward_o allow_v of_o private_a baptism_n as_o if_o the_o ceremony_n be_v of_o that_o necessity_n as_o the_o very_a institutiou_n which_o commit_v baptism_n only_o to_o the_o minister_n shall_v be_v break_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o suppose_a necessity_n and_o therefore_o this_o point_n of_o all_o other_o i_o think_v be_v b●t_v a_o concessum_fw-la proper_a duritiam_fw-la cordis_n for_o the_o form_n of_o celebrate_v matrimony_n the_o ring_n seem_v to_o many_o even_o of_o

upon_o the_o book_n be_v yet_o partaker_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o may_v follow_v it_o with_o their_o mind_n so_o again_o after_o the_o read_n of_o the_o word_n it_o be_v think_v fit_a there_o shall_v be_v some_o pause_n for_o holy_a meditation_n before_o they_o proceed_v to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o service_n which_o pause_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v fill_v rather_o with_o some_o grave_a

in_o the_o more_o pompous_a time_n for_o the_o capp_n and_o surplice_n since_o they_o be_v thing_n in_o their_o nature_n indifferent_a and_o yet_o by_o some_o hold_v superstitious_a and_o that_o the_o

if_o a_o private_a man_n and_o the_o order_n of_o a_o church_n but_o yet_o since_o the_o question_n at_o this_o time_n be_v of_o a_o toleration_n not_o by_o connivance_n which_o may_v encourage_v

it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o pastor_n &_o minister_n be_v of_o all_o other_o point_n of_o religion_n the_o most_o summary_n i_o do_v not_o say_v the_o great_a but_o the_o
