threefold_a respect_n much_o less_o that_o he_o hold_v that_o all_o that_o incorporate_v with_o they_o in_o those_o respect_n do_v therefore_o confederate_a with_o they_o in_o their_o error_n the_o

with_o the_o help_n of_o the_o most_o enlarge_a spectacle_n can_v find_v it_o there_o i_o be_o content_a to_o forfeit_v my_o own_o i_o beseech_v you_o sir_n do_v the_o author_n hold_v or_o any_o man_n breathe_v that_o to_o incorporate_v with_o a_o christian_a kingdom_n under_o one_o king_n be_v to_o confederate_a with_o they_o in_o their_o error_n but_o in_o your_o numeration_n find_v this_o the_o four_o error_n i_o bethink_v myself_o that_o the_o last_o be_v brand_v with_o the_o second_o error_n but_o do_v what_o i_o can_v i_o find_v the_o four_o error_n next_o succedding_n to_o ehe_fw-ge second_n and_o no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o three_o error_n with_o his_o mark_n on_o nor_o without_o it_o in_o short_a sir_n if_o you_o will_v bear_v with_o a_o very_a small_a criticism_n you_o mistell_v the_o three_o error_n and_o tell_v the_o four_o very_o much_o amiss_o i_o can_v like_v this_o manner_n of_o inflame_v such_o reckon_n i_o proceed_v to_o the_o five_o mark_v error_n of_o which_o you_o say_v p._n 9th_o 5._o error_n 5._o it_o be_v therefore_o another_o of_o your_o mistake_n that_o own_v the_o parish-church_n and_o worship_n be_v a_o own_n of_o the_o present_a diocesan_n constitution_n by_o the_o way_n i_o will_v tell_v my_o reader_n that_o though_o many_o have_v believe_v and_o stiff_o affirm_v otherwise_o i_o never_o find_v any_o of_o your_o word_n or_o print_v work_n countenance_v the_o form_n of_o a_o diocesan_n church_n or_o a_o prelatical_a hierarchy_n i_o do_v not_o here_o determine_v of_o the_o rectitude_n or_o error_n of_o it_o but_o i_o say_v it_o here_o because_o the_o error_n charge_v or_o the_o charge_v of_o it_o as_o such_o have_v some_o influence_n from_o the_o fore_n mention_v hint_n but_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o must_v say_v sir_n that_o the_o matter_n of_o subject_n of_o this_o say_a error_n have_v some_o relation_n to_o the_o author_n premise_v for_o a_o diocesan_n constitution_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o present_a constitution_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o for_o the_o predicate_v which_o must_v contain_v what_o make_v the_o error_n if_o there_o be_v any_o i_o can_v find_v no_o more_o of_o it_o than_o in_o the_o fomer_n in_o all_o the_o word_n you_o say_v be_v the_o author_n premise_v i_o beseech_v you_o sir_n do_v he_o say_v a_o word_n here_o of_o own_v parish-church_n and_o worship_n or_o do_v parish-church_n take_v strict_o in_o our_o ecclesiastical_a sense_n find_v the_o form_n or_o name_n of_o a_o church_n do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o only_o the_o bishop_n be_v the_o pastor_n all_o other_o priest_n or_o minister_n but_o curate_n and_o if_o we_o try_v the_o strength_n of_o your_o therefore_o by_o which_o you_o prove_v it_o a_o error_n it_o will_v amount_v to_o little_o more_o it_o be_v this_o but_o i_o further_o distinguish_v between_o the_o many_o parish-church_n and_o the_o diocesan_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o constitute_v of_o such_o diocesan_n churches_n the_o old_a nonconformist_n common_o own_v the_o parish-church_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o make_v up_o of_o such_o but_o not_o the_o diocesan_n this_o they_o open_o profess_v it_o be_v therefore_o a_o mistake_n etc._n etc._n i_o do_v not_o expect_v such_o manner_n of_o dispute_v from_o mr._n b._n you_o distinguish_v contrary_a to_o the_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a law_n and_o constitution_n and_o the_o old_a nonconformist_n common_o own_v your_o distinction_n which_o distinction_n be_v a_o null_n of_o the_o diocesan_n church_n from_o which_o the_o parochial_a be_v not_o only_o distinguish_v but_o separate_v it_o be_v therefore_o a_o error_n etc._n etc._n be_v this_o prove_a per_fw-la notiora_fw-la or_o obscuriora_fw-la and_o all_o amount_n to_o this_o the_o doctor_n or_o author_n hold_v that_o error_n which_o you_o can_v find_v the_o sense_n of_o in_o the_o premise_v and_o you_o prove_v it_o by_o such_o argument_n to_o be_v a_o error_n if_o it_o be_v there_o that_o none_o will_v take_v for_o unquestionable_a or_o at_o least_o unquestioned_a verity_n and_o therefore_o this_o five_o error_n may_v be_v wipe_v off_o with_o the_o former_a also_o it_o be_v your_o mistake_n to_o say_v err._n vi_o err._n that_o communion_n by_o the_o liturgy_n be_v the_o symbol_n and_o pledge_n of_o the_o foresay_a incorporation_n into_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o its_o present_a constitution_n in_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o this_o i_o acknowledge_v you_o come_v near_o to_o the_o author_n word_n than_o i_o have_v usual_o find_v though_o not_o without_o some_o difference_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v i_o must_v take_v leave_n to_o distinguish_v a_o little_a of_o communion_n thus_o 1._o communion_n by_o the_o liturgy_n be_v either_o very_a rare_a it_o may_v be_v but_o once_o or_o twice_o or_o so_o this_o i_o do_v not_o take_v to_o be_v a_o symbol_n of_o the_o say_a incorporation_n nor_o can_v you_o give_v any_o proof_n that_o it_o be_v the_o author_n meaning_n 2._o or_o it_o may_v be_v consider_v as_o constant_a and_o such_o take_v strict_o i_o know_v none_o or_o very_o few_o that_o practice_n 3._o or_o a_o ordinary_a communion_n such_o as_o be_v more_o frequent_o than_o with_o any_o or_o all_o other_o church_n contradistinct_a from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o this_o practice_n i_o think_v aught_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o the_o author_n meaning_n and_o so_o understand_v it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o you_o to_o prove_v it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o symbol_n you_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v it_o thus_o the_o ruler_n open_o declare_v that_o they_o take_v multitude_n to_o be_v none_o of_o their_o church_n who_o join_v in_o the_o liturgy_n i_o answer_v what_o ruler_n do_v you_o mean_v civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a who_o or_o how_o many_o of_o they_o or_o when_o and_o where_o do_v they_o declare_v this_o so_o open_o or_o secret_o either_o do_v they_o not_o own_o all_o the_o king_n subject_n of_o england_n to_o be_v of_o their_o church_n if_o baptize_v and_o not_o excommunicate_v yea_o to_o the_o very_a dissenter_n de_fw-la jure_fw-la and_o that_o they_o be_v straggler_n from_o the_o fold_n they_o belong_v to_o therefore_o they_o first_o admonish_v then_o excommunicate_v they_o if_o contumacious_a your_o argument_n therefore_o from_o the_o ruler_n be_v but_o dark_a &_o gratis_o dictum_fw-la and_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o a_o mistake_n you_o tell_v we_o next_o what_o be_v the_o symbol_n and_o it_o be_v subscribe_v declare_v and_o swear_v obedience_n which_o be_v the_o symbol_n these_o be_v all_o your_o own_o word_n and_o not_o one_o add_v a_o symbol_n i_o little_o expect_v from_o so_o learned_a and_o intelligent_a a_o person_n etc._n etc._n the_o symbol_n you_o give_v here_o be_v the_o symbol_n of_o the_o clergy_n or_o man_n in_o order_n i_o hope_v you_o be_v not_o come_v to_o this_o on_o a_o sudden_a that_o only_o the_o clergy_n be_v the_o church_n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o symbol_n or_o badge_n of_o a_o member_n incorporate_v into_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o no_o other_o what_o become_v of_o the_o poor_a laity_n you_o have_v not_o forget_v sure_o that_o all_o this_o debate_n have_v be_v if_o not_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o laity_n only_o at_o least_o of_o mere_a lay-communion_n you_o add_v yea_o they_o excommunicate_v many_o that_o come_v to_o the_o liturgy-service_n some_o i_o confess_v but_o not_o very_o many_o suppose_v the_o office_n of_o the_o communion_n to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o liturgy_n they_o come_v unto_o and_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o when_o they_o be_v excommunicate_a they_o come_v not_o or_o more_o unwelcome_a till_o they_o be_v declare_v absolve_v and_o i_o believe_v i_o may_v now_o have_v my_o intelligent_a impartial_a reader_n suffrage_n to_o send_v this_o error_n after_o its_o fellow_n next_o task_n be_v to_o consider_v these_o three_o error_n which_o be_v all_o in_o a_o file_n which_o
