certain_a time_n before_o they_o be_v final_o admit_v into_o the_o number_n so_o those_o new_a law_n that_o be_v bring_v in_o may_v be_v probationer_n too_o among_o we_o for_o a_o convenient_a time_n in_o which_o time_n it_o may_v be_v free_a for_o all_o man_n to_o make_v their_o exception_n against_o they_o in_o a_o fair_a and_o peaceable_a manner_n the_o bane_n of_o they_o shall_v be_v first_o

may_v serve_v i_o hope_v to_o excuse_v i_o from_o the_o over-severe_a censure_n either_o of_o folly_n or_o malignity_n in_o that_o now_o i_o have_v endeavour_v so_o far_o to_o serve_v the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n and_o state_n as_o now_o in_o this_o time_n of_o attempt_a change_n and_o while_o those_o new_a law_n that_o be_v bring_v in_o be_v yet_o upon_o their_o probation_n be_v not_o

altogether_o as_o much_o authority_n to_o desire_v a_o resolution_n from_o they_o of_o those_o doubt_n that_o conscience_n may_v make_v against_o that_o they_o have_v do_v as_o they_o hav●_z be_v not_o design_v by_o the_o supreme_a power_n or_o the_o church_n thereunto_o to_o make_v constitution_n wherein_o man_n conscience_n be_v not_o satisfy_v god_n have_v choose_v the_o foolish_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o wise_a the_o weak_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v mighty_a the_o base_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thing_n that_o

it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v be_v in_o a_o error_n and_o than_o micaiah_n be_v no_o presumptuous_a prophet_n to_o oppose_v 400_o prophet_n that_o have_v mistake_v their_o message_n and_o i_o

perhaps_o if_o they_o have_v be_v secure_v from_o the_o examination_n and_o opposition_n from_o particular_a man_n and_o we_o know_v the_o apostle_n have_v lay_v a_o command_n upon_o we_o to_o try_v

that_o reverence_n which_o be_v due_a from_o we_o unto_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o those_o constitution_n which_o have_v be_v establish_v by_o other_o former_a synod_n at_o least_o as_o

as_o well_o as_o actor_n of_o inconvenience_n be_v answerable_a to_o god_n and_o may_v be_v desire_v by_o man_n concern_v to_o afford_v they_o satisfaction_n in_o conscience_n however_o it_o be_v i_o
