any_o such_o penalty_n i_o be_o sure_a st._n paul_n when_o he_o chide_v those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n for_o come_v ignorant_o to_o the_o sacrament_n and_o for_o behave_v themselves_o

that_o every_o man_n before_o he_o communicate_v aught_o to_o be_v well_o catechise_v and_o instruct_v by_o the_o minister_n and_o thereby_o enable_v to_o examine_v himself_o the_o better_a nor_o

he_o that_o have_v the_o cure_n of_o his_o soul_n but_o that_o every_o man_n as_o often_o as_o he_o intend_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n shall_v be_v oblige_v under_o the_o penalty_n of_o be_v reject_v from_o it_o to_o come_v and_o to_o be_v examine_v by_o the_o minister_n this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o utter_o deny_v and_o which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o other_o word_n with_o that_o of_o auricular_a confession_n so_o that_o they_o who_o exact_v the_o one_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o condemn_v the_o other_o unless_o it_o be_v because_o they_o will_v engross_v it_o whole_o unto_o themselves_o howsoever_o if_o refuse_v the_o sacrament_n to_o those_o that_o will_v not_o kneel_v when_o the_o church_n enjoin_v it_o be_v a_o penalty_n so_o far_o transcend_v the_o offence_n how_o much_o more_o must_v the_o same_o penalty_n transcend_v the_o offence_n when_o there_o be_v indeed_o no_o offence_n at_o all_o for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

by_o they_o and_o all_o this_o without_o any_o command_n or_o warrant_v from_o god_n word_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o command_n and_o custom_n of_o god_n church_n whereby_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o either_o they_o do_v not_o think_v the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v nor_o the_o deny_v of_o it_o so_o great_a a_o injury_n or_o

indeed_o be_v that_o they_o will_v fain_o be_v at_o now_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o hope_n of_o govern_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n for_o you_o see_v by_o what_o mr._n baxter_n add_v that_o if_o

to_o quit_v their_o station_n which_o he_o call_v be_v eject_v because_o they_o dare_v not_o put_v away_o all_o that_o will_v not_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n and_o this_o menace_n they_o often_o
