a_o extent_n to_o lay_v a_o minister_n open_a to_o deposition_n and_o if_o church-governor_n to_o who_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o canon_n be_v commit_v shall_v forget_v christian_a moderation_n

but_o with_o suspension_n for_o three_o month_n the_o other_o ground_n why_o i_o omit_v this_o clause_n be_v because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o church_n of_o scotland_n or_o any_o other_o particular_a church_n be_v so_o bless_a in_o her_o priest_n as_o that_o every_o of_o her_o minister_n be_v for_o learning_n and_o judgement_n and_o temper_v able_a and_o fit_a to_o convert_v papist_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v think_v then_o and_o do_v think_v yet_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a a_o work_n or_o to_o be_v make_v so_o common_a but_o that_o it_o be_v and_o may_v be_v much_o fit_a for_o some_o able_a select_a man_n to_o undertake_v and_o if_o any_o man_n think_v god_n gift_n in_o he_o to_o be_v neglect_v as_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o overvalue_v themselves_o let_v they_o try_v their_o gift_n and_o labour_v their_o conversion_n in_o god_n name_n but_o let_v not_o the_o church_n by_o a_o canon_n set_v every_o man_n on_o work_n lest_o their_o weak_a or_o indiscreet_a

tyrannical_a power_n he_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o prelate_n over_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n and_o good_n of_o man_n overturning_a from_o the_o

government_n though_o that_o be_v perfect_a and_o happy_a that_o leave_v least_o nor_o be_v it_o a_o unheard_a of_o thing_n to_o find_v something_o arbitrary_a in_o some_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v very_o ancient_a as_o in_o the_o 21._o council_n of_o eliberis_n the_o punishment_n of_o he_o who_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o church_n three_o sunday_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v

by_o the_o care_n take_v in_o the_o precede_a canon_n that_o here_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o of_o moment_n leave_v arbitrary_a and_o then_o the_o ordinary_n will_v fall_v into_o a_o excess_n more_o dangerous_a to_o himself_o than_o his_o arbitrary_a punishment_n can_v be_v to_o he_o that_o suffer_v it_o if_o he_o offer_v to_o tyrannize_v for_o this_o clause_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v

to_o give_v a_o easy_a account_n for_o this_o but_o whereas_o i_o say_v the_o repair_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v a_o strange_a piece_n of_o treason_n and_o they_o present_o reply_v that_o they_o do_v

it_o rise_v by_o step_n that_o can_v well_o be_v because_o the_o first_o order_n be_v the_o sour_a if_o i_o conceive_v it_o right_n beside_o here_o be_v real_a composition_n allot_v for_o they_o and_o that_o by_o a_o committee_n name_v by_o the_o lord_n not_o by_o i_o and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o real_a for_o it_o cost_v eight_o or_o nine_o thousand_o pound_n as_o appear_v upon_o the_o

for_o a_o man_n be_v not_o a_o apostate_n proper_o till_o he_o fall_v away_o by_o deny_v the_o whole_a faith_n but_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o heresy_n schism_n and_o separation_n upon_o the_o

be_v not_o the_o only_a cause_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o catholic_n church_n since_o this_o separation_n can_v be_v otherways_o make_v and_o my_o lord_n within_o the_o space_n of_o three_o

will_v come_v to_o the_o service_n as_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n in_o other_o either_o cathedral_n or_o parochial_a church_n my_o lord_n have_v have_v great_a wrong_n to_o be_v account_v a_o

now_o my_o lord_n tell_v we_o far_o that_o this_o be_v a_o separation_n not_o from_o their_o person_n as_o they_o be_v christian_n but_o from_o their_o corruption_n in_o matter_n of_o worship_n as_o

a_o communion_n as_o go_v no_o far_a than_o prayer_n yet_o to_o these_o he_o come_v not_o at_o the_o sacrament_n i_o believe_v he_o will_v be_v more_o scrupulous_a of_o who_o or_o with_o who_o he_o

be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o man_n shall_v frame_v these_o form_n of_o divine_a service_n for_o all_o churchman_n can_v possible_o meet_v about_o that_o or_o any_o other_o

number_n of_o man_n or_o approve_v by_o they_o when_o some_o eminent_a servant_n of_o god_n have_v compose_v they_o first_o and_o then_o tender_v they_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o nor_o will_v the_o church_n of_o old_a admit_v any_o prayer_n in_o the_o public_a 23._o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o such_o as_o be_v so_o make_v and_o so_o approve_v lest_o through_o ignorance_n or_o want_v of_o care_n and_o circumspection_n something_o may_v slip_v in_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o faith_n but_o i_o fear_v here_o be_v anguis_fw-la in_fw-la herba_fw-la and_o that_o my_o lord_n be_v not_o satisfy_v not_o so_o much_o because_o these_o 〈◊〉_d form_n be_v make_v by_o a_o set_a number_n of_o

but_o churchman_n must_v actual_o do_v public_a churchwork_a according_a to_o their_o call_v and_o their_o warrant_n and_o yet_o i_o hope_v churchman_n will_v never_o be_v so_o proud_a but_o that_o if_o any_o lay_v religious_a man_n of_o large_a comprehension_n than_o themselves_o will_v offer_v in_o private_a any_o help_n to_o they_o they_o will_v lend_v a_o open_a ear_n to_o it_o and_o after_o with_o a_o prudent_a consideration_n do_v what_o be_v fit_a and_o as_o this_o lord_n be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o man_n shall_v make_v these_o set_a form_n so_o much_o less_o be_v he_o satisfy_v that_o when_o this_o be_v do_v they_o shall_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n enjoin_v they_o upon_o all_o person_n in_o all_o time_n and_o upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o be_v use_v and_o no_o other_o no_o set_v form_n that_o i_o know_v be_v enjoin_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n but_o such_o as_o the_o church_n in_o synod_n have_v approve_v or_o tolerate_v till_o a_o synod_n may_v be_v call_v and_o when_o any_o national-church_n in_o a_o kingdom_n that_o be_v christian_a have_v approve_v a_o set_a form_n yet_o that_o can_v be_v enjoin_v upon_o all_o person_n till_o the_o sovereign_a power_n in_o that_o state_n have_v weigh_v approve_v and_o command_v it_o but_o then_o though_o frame_v by_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o man_n that_o and_o no_o other_o lay_n hold_v on_o all_o person_n and_o in_o all_o time_n and_o upon_o all_o occasion_n that_o be_v public_a if_o man_n will_v live_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o church_n and_o

a_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n the_o worse_o because_o it_o come_v from_o the_o public_a spirit_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v take_v his_o word_n in_o another_o sense_n though_o
