to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n appoint_v by_o christ_n which_o in_o plain_a term_n for_o it_o be_v not_o now_o a_o time_n to_o dissemble_v see_v the_o lord_n be_v at_o hand_n be_v false_a and_o

second_o to_o bear_v testimony_n or_o witness_v against_o that_o way_n by_o which_o you_o maintain_v it_o which_o be_v chief_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o carnal_a weapon_n which_o can_v reach_v to_o the_o heart_n or_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a part_n and_o upon_o the_o point_n the_o whole_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o acceptance_n with_o he_o this_o i_o say_v must_v needs_o also_o be_v false_a but_o yet_o far_o worse_a it_o be_v no_o way_n appoint_v or_o approve_v of_o christ_n nor_o yet_o ground_o expect_v or_o practise_v by_o christian_n who_o first_o trust_v in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o upon_o due_a examination_n will_v prove_v most_o unchristian_a yea_o antichristian_a i_o shall_v use_v but_o these_o two_o argument_n in_o this_o place_n to_o convince_v you_o the_o first_o whereof_o stand_v thus_o that_o order_n and_o way_n to_o maintain_v it_o which_o neither_o have_v precept_n from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n nor_o yet_o precedent_n or_o example_n among_o those_o that_o first_o trust_v in_o christ_n that_o order_n can_v be_v the_o order_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n nor_o that_o way_n his_o way_n to_o maintain_v it_o but_o the_o order_n which_o you_o call_v the_o order_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o way_n which_o you_o say_v be_v his_o way_n to_o maintain_v it_o have_v neither_o precept_n nor_o precedent_n in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n the_o first_o proposition_n i_o suppose_v none_o of_o you_o can_v deny_v unless_o you_o can_v find_v a_o late_a than_o that_o which_o be_v call_v his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n and_o as_o for_o the_o second_o the_o truth_n thereof_o will_v as_o easy_o appear_v if_o you_o bring_v your_o order_n and_o way_n to_o maintain_v it_o to_o the_o precept_n of_o christ_n and_o practice_v of_o those_o that_o first_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o first_o for_o your_o order_n what_o precept_n from_o christ_n or_o

to_o your_o elder_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n who_o ever_o reprove_v i_o of_o evil_a and_o you_o recommend_v i_o to_o other_o and_o for_o four_o year_n time_n i_o walk_v with_o they_o at_o

be_v occasion_v by_o a_o unrighteous_a act_n of_o they_o as_o i_o judge_v which_o be_v that_o seven_o of_o the_o brethren_n shall_v pass_v a_o act_n of_o admonition_n upon_o a_o brother_n without_o

than_o they_o own_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o church_n and_o so_o begin_v to_o deal_v with_o i_o for_o say_v they_o have_v abuse_v the_o church_n and_o have_v take_v from_o they_o their_o power_n whereupon_o i_o tell_v they_o i_o shall_v renounce_v they_o and_o not_o have_v any_o more_o fellowship_n with_o they_o till_o either_o they_o see_v their_o sin_n or_o i_o further_a light_n after_o which_o divers_a other_o to_o the_o number_n of_o seven_o or_o eight_o fall_v off_o from_o they_o and_o we_o meet_v once_o a_o week_n and_o every_o first_o day_n and_o so_o continue_v for_o a_o long_a
