all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o the_o three_o way_n it_o be_v that_o which_o if_o i_o may_v choose_v i_o shall_v prefer_v before_o any_o as_o most_o agreeable_a to_o my_o spirit_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o other_o encumbrance_n like_o this_o and_o my_o proposal_n shall_v be_v the_o put_n into_o the_o bill_n or_o such_o bill_n a_o clause_n for_o the_o save_v a_o man_n conscience_n

commit_v the_o word_n here_o and_o before_o if_o they_o offend_v to_o the_o amendment_n of_o the_o lawyer_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o imposition_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o

of_o the_o subscriber_n own_o or_o of_o some_o judicious_a expositor_n that_o be_v in_o the_o term_n of_o the_o school_n not_o in_o the_o authentic_a but_o a_o doctrinal_a interpretation_n for_o the_o

provide_v against_o the_o scruple_n of_o the_o more_o considerate_a about_o this_o momentous_a piece_n of_o conformity_n the_o subscription_n to_o the_o article_n when_o the_o provision_n only_o of_o the_o exception_n of_o three_o of_o they_o will_v be_v too_o short_a we_o must_v not_o understand_v this_o bill_n to_o be_v draw_v up_o so_o because_o this_o way_n be_v best_a but_o upon_o

pass_v howbeit_o the_o scene_n now_o be_v alter_v i_o can_v tell_v but_o one_o of_o the_o other_o way_n may_v pass_v soon_o and_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o some_o condescension_n herein_o appear_v more_o and_o more_o necessary_a from_o that_o consideration_n which_o be_v yet_o far_o to_o be_v press_v the_o difficulty_n i_o mean_v at_o bottom_n which_o lie_v here_o the_o article_n of_o the_o church_n must_v be_v take_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n the_o parliament_n indeed_o impose_v the_o subscription_n but_o be_v not_o the_o imposer_n in_o who_o sense_n the_o article_n must_v be_v take_v because_o it_o enjoin_v they_o as_o the_o church_n article_n that_o be_v all_o one_o as_o enjoin_v they_o to_o be_v take_v in_o her_o sense_n and_o that_o church_n be_v the_o church_n in_o q._n elizabeth_n day_n when_o the_o article_n be_v compile_v and_o enjoin_v at_o first_o and_o hereupon_o i_o will_v offer_v one_o instance_n and_o suppose_v a_o man_n to_o scruple_n the_o 11_o article_n which_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o i_o do_v here_o believe_v in_o my_o conscience_n that_o the_o sense_n wherein_o the_o church_n then_o understand_v this_o must_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o our_o first_o reformer_n and_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n take_v objective_n in_o sensu_fw-la correlativo_fw-la not_o as_o a_o work_n but_o a_o instrument_n which_o in_o short_a be_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n which_o divine_v know_v as_o exclude_v all_o work_n evangelical_n as_o well_o as_o legal_a from_o justification_n i_o will_v suppose_v now_o that_o the_o man_n come_v to_o the_o bishop_n and_o say_v he_o can_v not_o subscribe_v this_o article_n in_o the_o church_n sense_n because_o he_o very_o believe_v this_o to_o be_v her_o sense_n and_o that_o to_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o st._n james_n who_o say_v direct_o to_o the_o contrary_a that_o by_o work_v a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o and_o therefore_o desire_v he_o may_v subscribe_v in_o his_o own_o sense_n which_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o tender_v viz._n that_o by_o faith_n he_o understand_v christianity_n or_o the_o become_v a_o christian_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n only_o he_o understand_v st._n paul_n faith_n without_o work_n that_o be_v faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o without_o be_v circumcise_a and_o live_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o so_o he_o give_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o st._n paul_n for_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o article_n that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o live_v according_a to_o the_o law_n but_o live_v according_a to_o the_o gospel_n only_o i_o will_v ask_v now_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o reason_n here_o both_o that_o such_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v exclude_v for_o this_o scruple_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v licence_n provide_v by_o some_o such_o clause_n in_o the_o bill_n for_o the_o bishop_n to_o admit_v he_o upon_o this_o explanation_n especial_o see_v the_o reconciliation_n of_o st._n james_n and_o st._n paul_n be_v thereby_o make_v so_o clear_a as_o it_o must_v tempt_v his_o acceptation_n as_o for_o the_o roman_a catholic_n at_o last_n i_o will_v not_o balk_v my_o opinion_n the_o king_n while_o prince_n of_o orange_n have_v express_o say_v in_o his_o declaration_n that_o he_o except_v not_o the_o papist_n and_o i_o need_v not_o refrain_v my_o constant_a thought_n i_o be_o one_o myself_o be_v sure_a that_o be_o not_o for_o popery_n but_o must_v distinguish_v between_o the_o danger_n of_o it_o when_o it_o be_v in_o dominion_n that_o be_v uppermost_a by_o law_n or_o force_n and_o where_o it_o be_v in_o subjugation_n i_o very_o much_o dread_v the_o one_o i_o be_o very_o gentle_a towards_o the_o other_o in_o order_n to_o this_o i_o must_v be_v against_o the_o permission_n of_o factor_n for_o a_o foreign_a jurisdiction_n yet_o shall_v not_o murmur_v if_o the_o sanguinary_a law_n whereby_o such_o a_o crime_n be_v make_v as_o treason_n to_o

have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v now_o but_o some_o little_a about_o the_o turn_v the_o two_o bill_n as_o they_o be_v former_o in_o the_o house_n into_o one_o which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o print_n from_o
