of_o the_o protestant_a church_n answer_n to_o sardis_n and_o not_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a spot_n or_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a country_n province_n or_o city_n but_o the_o collective_a body_n of_o the_o whole_a that_o by_o the_o harmony_n of_o their_o confession_n already_o extant_a may_v be_v allow_v to_o hold_v the_o fundamental_o of_o the_o christian_a faith_n however_o many_o be_v under_o great_a mistake_n in_o other_o thing_n now_o we_o do_v not_o find_v this_o church_n of_o sardis_n blame_v for_o idolatry_n or_o suffer_v it_o as_o some_o of_o the_o other_o seven_o church_n we_o find_v so_o blame_v and_o particular_o that_o of_o pergamus_n and_o thyatira_n that_o may_v allude_v to_o the_o dark_a and_o idolatrous_a time_n of_o popery_n for_o divers_a age_n forego_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o sardis_n church_n that_o be_v blame_v be_v that_o her_o work_n be_v not_o perfect_a before_o god_n that_o she_o have_v more_o a_o name_n of_o life_n than_o the_o possession_n of_o it_o which_o seem_v to_o paint_v out_o to_o the_o life_n the_o collective_a body_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n who_o yet_o have_v a_o few_o name_n who_o have_v not_o defile_v their_o garment_n and_o who_o be_v worthy_a which_o few_o name_n be_v not_o confine_v to_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a denomination_n but_o scatter_v and_o disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a as_o so_o many_o grain_n of_o pure_a silver_n or_o gold_n through_o a_o great_a mass_n or_o lump_n of_o oar_n where_o be_v much_o more_o dross_n and_o refuse_n and_o because_o thing_n receive_v their_o denomination_n from_o the_o better_a part_n frequent_o therefore_o i_o judge_v that_o the_o protestant_a church_n be_v with_o a_o respect_n to_o and_o on_o the_o account_n of_o these_o few_o name_n that_o have_v keep_v their_o garment_n clean_o to_o be_v reckon_v a_o true_a church_n and_o be_v so_o repute_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o advisable_v that_o all_o that_o sincere_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o in_o christ_n and_o love_n god_n and_o christ_n and_o agree_v in_o fundamental_o as_o they_o general_o do_v that_o they_o will_v love_v one_o another_o and_o repute_v one_o another_o as_o brethren_n walk_v together_o and_o worship_n god_n together_o in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n the_o strong_a condescend_v to_o the_o weak_a and_o become_v all_o thing_n to_o all_o man_n and_o in_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o manifest_o sinful_a yield_v one_o to_o another_o endeavour_v to_o be_v of_o one_o heart_n and_o soul_n in_o true_a christian_a love_n and_o affection_n however_o differ_v in_o some_o lesser_a matter_n both_o as_o to_o judgement_n and_o practice_n this_o i_o hope_v god_n in_o his_o own_o time_n will_v bring_v to_o pass_v and_o for_o this_o as_o many_o i_o believe_v sincere_o pray_v so_o do_v i_o cordial_o join_v my_o earnest_a supplication_n with_o they_o and_o let_v this_o suffice_v at_o present_a for_o a_o answer_n to_o that_o last_o argument_n about_o the_o call_v as_o whether_o mediate_a or_o immediate_a sect_n x._o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o many_o in_o the_o protestant_a church_n can_v give_v as_o great_a evidence_n and_o far_o great_a of_o their_o true_a inward_a call_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n than_o many_o or_o most_o of_o the_o teacher_n among_o the_o people_n call_v quaker_n and_o that_o not_o only_o by_o the_o conformity_n of_o their_o doctrine_n and_o conversation_n to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o the_o real_a success_n and_o good_a effect_n of_o their_o ministry_n by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o labour_n and_o if_o the_o noise_n of_o bold_o claim_v to_o themselves_o the_o only_a privilege_n of_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o their_o teacher_n and_o minister_n the_o only_a minister_n of_o christ_n have_v only_o the_o inward_a call_n and_o furnish_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v lay_v aside_o and_o the_o question_n fair_o and_o calm_o state_v it_o will_v not_o bear_v great_a dispute_n to_o make_v it_o appear_v which_o of_o the_o two_o sort_n have_v the_o best_a mark_n of_o the_o true_a church_n and_o ministry_n will_v the_o quaker_n less_o value_v themselves_o for_o some_o singular_a thing_n which_o at_o best_o be_v but_o as_o the_o cummin_n and_o the_o mint_n and_o some_o of_o they_o not_o so_o much_o they_o may_v easy_o find_v themselves_o equal_v and_o far_o excel_v in_o great_a part_n by_o many_o other_o in_o the_o great_a thing_n of_o true_a divine_a knowledge_n piety_n and_o

of_o objector_n this_o will_v not_o prove_v that_o baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n be_v not_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o will_v not_o prove_v that_o preach_a the_o gospel_n be_v not_o a_o divine_a institution_n because_o in_o many_o part_n of_o the_o world_n true_a preach_v have_v be_v want_v and_o yet_o be_v yea_o according_a to_o the_o quaker_n narrow_a and_o scanty_a charity_n true_a preach_v be_v general_o lose_v in_o the_o world_n until_o the_o quaker_n be_v raise_v up_o about_o the_o year_n 1648._o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v no_o institution_n of_o
