4._o particular_a person_n the_o saint_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v determine_v thing_n personal_o to_o themselves_o you_o understand_v that_o determine_v caution_n for_o magistrate_n and_o

thing_n as_o thus_o for_o instance_n thing_n 1._o it_o must_v be_v in_o necessary_a indifferent_a thing_n there_o be_v a_o great_a strife_n among_o we_o before_o about_o wear_v of_o the_o surplice_n about_o wear_v of_o white_a or_o black_a here_o the_o magistrate_n nor_o the_o church_n can_v determine_v because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a indifferent_a thing_n for_o there_o be_v colour_n enough_o beside_o between_o they_o but_o if_o it_o be_v this_o whether_o i_o shall_v go_v naked_a or_o clothe_v if_o it_o relate_v to_o the_o kingdom_n the_o magistrate_n may_v do_v it_o if_o to_o the_o church_n the_o minister_n may_v determine_v it_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o we_o blame_v the_o bishop_n they_o say_v they_o be_v indifferent_a thing_n the_o surplice_n be_v indifferent_a if_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a indifferent_a thing_n they_o may_v urge_v it_o but_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o it_o therefore_o man_n must_v observe_v that_o rule_n or_o else_o they_o will_v

to_o the_o kingdom_n for_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v a_o magistrate_n be_v not_o a_o spiritual_a officer_n as_o a_o magistrate_n but_o a_o thing_n make_v by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n to_o rule_v over_o the_o outward_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n so_o be_v emperor_n and_o king_n etc._n etc._n and_o for_o a_o magistrate_n to_o intrude_v into_o the_o church_n that_o he_o will_v determine_v all_o business_n what_o they_o shall_v do_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v pray_v i_o think_v this_o be_v not_o right_a but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o relate_v to_o his_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n therein_o he_o must_v look_v and_o he_o may_v determine_v over_o a_o saint_n and_o over_o a_o church_n man_n 3._o the_o srs._n must_v be_v deal_v with_o as_o rational_a man_n then_o three_o whether_o it_o be_v magistrate_n or_o church_n that_o go_v about_o to_o determine_v such_o thing_n they_o must_v deal_v with_o the_o saint_n as_o rational_a man_n and_o not_o make_v their_o will_n a_o law_n and_o tell_v they_o this_o we_o will_v have_v do_v and_o give_v no_o reason_n or_o rule_v no_o the_o saint_n must_v be_v deal_v with_o as_o man_n therefore_o they_o must_v give_v they_o some_o rule_n and_o reason_n for_o what_o they_o do_v they_o do_v not_o by_o mere_a power_n determine_v of_o thing_n so_o proper_o as_o be_v many_o and_o wise_a they_o be_v put_v to_o

be_v tie_v to_o such_o burden_n and_o rule_n you_o expect_v from_o a_o son_n more_o care_n than_o from_o a_o servant_n and_o that_o a_o son_n shall_v do_v more_o for_o your_o advantage_n than_o a_o

the_o saint_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v to_o have_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o teach_v they_o within_o what_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o what_o be_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n therefore_o they_o have_v less_o need_n of_o teach_v by_o external_a thing_n a_o word_n to_o the_o wise_a be_v enough_o the_o wise_a a_o man_n be_v the_o less_o you_o need_v to_o

then_o every_o man_n do_v teach_v his_o neighbour_n but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o now_o but_o they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a mean_n most_o of_o their_o knowledge_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n by_o outward_a mean_n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o they_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v little_a knowledge_n but_o what_o they_o get_v by_o outward_a mean_n therefore_o they_o be_v to_o write_v the_o law_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o wall_n and_o upon_o their_o post_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o it_o when_o they_o do_v sit_v down_o and_o when_o they_o rise_v up_o and_o those_o that_o have_v most_o part_n and_o breed_v and_o learning_n and_o most_o knowledge_n in_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v the_o knowing_a man_n but_o now_o they_o shall_v not_o every_o man_n teach_v his_o neighbour_n not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o every_o one_o to_o help_v another_o but_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o most_o of_o their_o knowledge_n shall_v not_o come_v by_o outward_a external_a way_n but_o say_v god_n i_o will_v pour_v out_o abundance_n of_o my_o spirit_n and_o they_o shall_v all_o know_v i_o from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a therefore_o we_o see_v in_o 1_o joh._n 2._o that_o john_n himself_o be_v account_v and_o that_o deserve_o the_o most_o spiritual_a apostle_n of_o all_o little_a child_n say_v he_o you_o have_v

the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v to_o pour_v out_o abundance_n of_o his_o spirit_n upon_o his_o people_n he_o think_v it_o unfit_a to_o go_v and_o make_v such_o endless_a law_n as_o be_v in_o the_o old_a

four_o testament_n 4._o god_n will_v set_v up_o a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n if_o you_o will_v know_v why_o christ_n have_v give_v a_o large_a latitude_n and_o liberty_n in_o external_a thing_n to_o the_o saint_n now_o than_o to_o they_o it_o be_v because_o the_o lord_n purpose_n and_o design_n be_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o set_v up_o a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n all_o the_o old_a thing_n the_o service_n and_o offering_n in_o the_o old_a law_n be_v but_o sign_n and_o shadow_n of_o spiritual_a worship_n the_o king_n daughter_n be_v all_o glorious_a within_o prophesy_v of_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o their_o glory_n shall_v be_v chief_o &_o main_o in_o inward_a grace_n therefore_o as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v a_o

will_v teach_v we_o his_o way_n and_o we_o will_v walk_v in_o his_o path_n for_o out_o of_o zion_n shall_v go_v the_o law_n and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n from_o jerusalem_n this_o be_v to_o

not_o so_o strict_o bind_v as_o the_o saint_n be_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n this_o you_o have_v prove_v and_o open_v to_o you_o in_o some_o measure_n the_o last_o day_n in_o the_o morning_n we_o have_v occasion_n from_o this_o doctrine_n by_o the_o by_o to_o call_v upon_o poor_a sinner_n to_o come_v in_o to_o christ_n because_o their_o be_v such_o largeness_n and_o liberty_n and_o

be_v in_o divers_a christian_n among_o we_o that_o do_v cause_n contention_n we_o may_v just_o reprove_v they_o from_o this_o doctrine_n we_o may_v discover_v they_o at_o least_o i_o will_v not_o

that_o according_a as_o it_o may_v be_v most_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n &_o the_o everlasting_a advantage_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n hence_o if_o you_o observe_v and_o look_v upon_o your_o

that_o weak_a christian_n good_a people_n be_v so_o full_a of_o question_n and_o case_n and_o trouble_v themselves_o and_o minister_n endlesse_o why_o so_o because_o many_o professor_n walk_v only_o
