1._o that_o the_o conclusion_n be_v as_o illogicall_a as_o any_o that_o a_o assembly_n of_o wise_a man_n have_v ever_o acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o no_o one_o of_o the_o three_o motive_n be_v several_o of_o strength_n to_o bear_v such_o a_o superstructure_n and_o therefore_o all_o together_o be_v as_o unsufficient_a for_o if_o the_o conclusion_n be_v only_o of_o the_o prudence_n or_o expedience_n of_o take_v it_o away_o somewhat_o may_v be_v pretend_v for_o that_o inference_n from_o the_o premise_n suppose_v they_o true_a but_o when_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n and_o that_o twice_o repeat_v and_o so_o not_o casual_o fall_v from_o they_o there_o must_v then_o be_v somewhat_o of_o precept_n divine_a in_o the_o premise_n to_o induce_v that_o necessity_n or_o else_o it_o will_v never_o be_v induce_v for_o i_o shall_v suppose_v it_o grant_v by_o they_o with_o who_o i_o now_o dispute_v that_o nothing_o be_v necessary_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o what_o god_n have_v prescribe_v the_o necessity_n of_o precept_n be_v the_o only_a one_o that_o can_v have_v place_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o the_o necessitas_fw-la medii_fw-la be_v most_o improper_a to_o be_v here_o plead_v but_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o direct_a precept_n so_o much_o as_o pretend_v to_o by_o those_o three_o motive_n it_o be_v clear_a and_o as_o clear_v that_o all_o together_o do_v not_o amount_v to_o a_o interpretative_a precept_n for_o that_o a_o lawful_a thing_n though_o press_v with_o manifold_a inconvenience_n shall_v be_v remove_v be_v no_o where_o

inconvenience_n much_o less_o be_v it_o command_v the_o inferior_a court_n in_o despite_n of_o king_n and_o stand_a law_n for_o what_o ever_o of_o expedience_n and_o so_o of_o prudence_n may_v be_v suppose_v to_o interpose_v that_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o incline_v a_o wise_a magistrate_n to_o make_v a_o law_n but_o not_o any_o else_o either_o to_o usurp_v the_o power_n of_o a_o lawmaker_n or_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o establish_a law_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o can_v justify_v the_o least_o disobedience_n of_o subject_n to_o their_o prince_n or_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o that_o obligation_n to_o that_o one_o superior_a law_n of_o that_o high_a prince_n our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n which_o be_v suppose_v it_o be_v not_o all_o the_o resolution_n and_o covenant_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v make_v it_o lawful_a for_o any_o so_o to_o disobey_v much_o less_o necessary_a any_o more_o than_o the_o saying_n corban_n in_o the_o

the_o head_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n and_o then_o how_o far_o the_o consultation_n with_o those_o divine_n may_v induce_v that_o necessity_n will_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n also_o be_v manifest_a to_o any_o especial_o that_o shall_v remember_v with_o what_o caution_n that_o assembly_n be_v by_o the_o house_n admit_v to_o consult_v and_o with_o what_o restraint_n on_o they_o and_o

will_v in_o charity_n guess_v of_o this_o matter_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o mistake_n be_v my_o not_o groundless_a suspicion_n that_o when_o the_o presbyterian_o have_v prepare_v the_o premise_n the_o independent_o frame_v the_o conclusion_n the_o former_a of_o these_o join_n at_o last_o with_o the_o other_o in_o a_o resolution_n of_o take_v away_o the_o book_n but_o only_o on_o prudentiall_a

from_o put_v conscience_n into_o the_o premise_n yet_o steal_v it_o secret_o into_o the_o conclusion_n so_o each_o deceive_a and_o be_v deceive_v by_o each_o other_o i_o be_o not_o sure_a that_o my_o conjecture_n be_v right_a in_o this_o particular_a yet_o have_v i_o reason_n to_o insert_v it_o 1._o because_o i_o find_v in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o directory_n certain_a footstep_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o composition_n and_o compliance_n and_o mixture_n of_o those_o so_o distant_a sort_n of_o reformer_n 2._o because_o the_o presbyterian_o which_o have_v sformer_o appear_v both_o in_o
