what_o we_o must_v expect_v from_o the_o author_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o prove_v his_o great_a undertake_n this_o be_v premise●_n let_v i_o now_o go_v back_o to_o his_o three_o and_o four_o page_n 1._o i_o say_v sir_n before_o that_o we_o own_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n contain_v in_o our_o creed_n and_o thirty_o nine_o article_n we_o grant_v they_o short_a and_o plain_a but_o that_o they_o be_v so_o full_o explain_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v further_o to_o make_v they_o intelligible_a to_o the_o mean_a soul_n i_o can_v say_v if_o you_o look_v sir_n into_o the_o systeme_n of_o confession_n you_o will_v scarce_o find_v any_o so_o short_a as_o we_o be_v the_o people_n have_v need_n have_v a_o very_a able_a and_o painful_a minister_n that_o shall_v improve_v sufficient_o in_o knowledge_n by_o they_o 2._o we_o like_v very_o well_o sir_n of_o what_o our_o church_n determine_v as_o to_o good_a work_n in_o the_o eleven_o and_o twelve_o and_o thirteen_o of_o her_o article_n of_o the_o thirty_o nine_o in_o these_o word_n art_n 11._o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n only_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o for_o our_o own_o work_n and_o deserve_n wherefore_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o be_v a_o most_o wholesome_a doctrine_n and_o very_o full_a of_o comfort_n as_o more_o large_o be_v express_v in_o the_o homily_n of_o justification_n art_fw-la 12._o albeit_o good_a work_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n can_v put_v away_o our_o sin_n and_o endure_v the_o severity_n of_o god_n judgement_n yet_o be_v they_o please_v and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o do_v spring_n out_o necessary_o of_o a_o true_a lively_a faith_n insomuch_o that_o by_o they_o a_o lively_a faith_n may_v be_v as_o evident_o know_v as_o a_o tree_n discern_v by_o the_o fruit._n art_fw-la 13._o work_v do_v before_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o inspiration_n of_o his_o spirit_n be_v not_o pleasant_a to_o god_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o spring_v not_o of_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o do_v they_o make_v man_n meet_v to_o receive_v grace_n or_o as_o the_o school-author_n say_v deserve_v grace_n of_o congruity_n yea_o rather_o for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o do_v as_o god_n will_v and_o command_v they_o to_o be_v do_v we_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n sir_n i_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a my_o time_n to_o examine_v how_o well_o what_o the_o author_n say_v p._n 4_o 5_o 6._o agree_v with_o this_o here_o be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o virtue_n but_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o what_o make_v some_o man_n so_o fond_a to_o change_v the_o old_a term_n of_o grace_n into_o the_o new_a term_n of_o virtue_n hardly_o four_o time_n mention_v by_o the_o apostle_n i_o can_v tell_v unless_o it_o be_v to_o let_v we_o know_v they_o mean_v no_o other_o thing_n by_o good_a work_n but_o such_o thing_n as_o may_v be_v do_v by_o common_a grace_n in_o the_o article_n be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o good_a work_n be_v the_o soul_n of_o our_o faith_n the_o article_n say_v they_o be_v only_o the_o daughter_n and_o inseparable_a fruit_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o call_v none_o good_a do_v before_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n and_o inspiration_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o sir_n we_o do_v agree_v that_o our_o article_n speak_v our_o heart_n as_o to_o good_a work_n and_o we_o hope_v we_o may_v withdraw_v from_o such_o as_o teach_v otherwise_o than_o these_o article_n and_o yet_o hold_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n because_o such_o son_n have_v themselves_o no_o communion_n with_o she_o in_o that_o matter_n 3._o neither_o do_v we_o say_v but_o that_o our_o church_n be_v constitute_v fit_o enough_o to_o excite_v devotion_n nor_o shall_v i_o say_v here_o any_o thing_n about_o her_o order_n and_o discipline_n because_o all_o that_o be_v say_v under_o this_o head_n signify_v nothing_o if_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v not_o make_v good_a viz._n that_o this_o constitution_n be_v use_v and_o manage_v in_o the_o best_a way_n by_o the_o pastor_n of_o our_o church_n to_o edify_v the_o soul_n of_o men._n for_o sir_n you_o will_v easy_o understand_v that_o the_o build_n of_o a_o soul_n in_o knowledge_n faith_n love_n zeal_n do_v not_o so_o much_o depend_v upon_o the_o article_n of_o a_o church_n its_o rubric_n or_o rule_n for_o worship_n and_o canon_n as_o the_o gift_n which_o god_n have_v give_v his_o minister_n by_o which_o they_o press_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o rule_n of_o holy_a life_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o pour_v out_o prayer_n for_o people_n suit_v to_o all_o their_o necessity_n their_o diligent_a and_o constant_a practice_n in_o instruct_v people_n and_o their_o put_n in_o execution_n such_o rule_n as_o be_v give_v for_o the_o order_n of_o people_n in_o their_o church_n society_n neither_o will_n what_o the_o author_n say_v p_o 11._o make_v good_a his_o proposition_n that_o there_o be_v strict_a command_n under_o great_a penalty_n lay_v upon_o the_o pastor_n of_o our_o church_n to_o do_v this_o what_o of_o all_o this_o so_o that_o all_o lie_v upon_o his_o second_o particular_a p._n 11._o that_o all_o these_o command_n be_v obey_v by_o the_o pastor_n of_o our_o church_n and_o they_o do_v all_o thing_n to_o such_o edification_n he_o shall_v have_v add_v what_o be_v in_o his_o proposition_n p._n 2._o that_o there_o be_v no_o better_a in_o the_o separate_a meeting_n than_o in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n so_o that_o sir_n if_o you_o observe_v he_o must_v prove_v 1._o that_o every_o parish_n minister_n preach_v as_o diligent_o and_o profitable_o for_o the_o generality_n of_o his_o hearer_n improvement_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o faith_n love_n holiness_n zeal_n etc._n etc._n as_o the_o minister_n do_v in_o their_o meeting_n or_o else_o sir_n he_o conclude_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o mere_a edification-sake_n for_o any_o parishioner_n to_o separate_a from_o the_o communion_n with_o his_o parish_n minister_n if_o he_o
