show_v you_o another_o reason_n of_o this_o necssity_n from_o the_o promise_n whereby_o we_o have_v oblige_v ourselves_o so_o to_o do_v for_o the_o bishop_n in_o their_o petition_n to_o king_n james_n promise_v that_o they_o will_v come_v to_o a_o temper_n with_o the_o dissenter_n whenever_o put_v in_o a_o legal_a way_n and_o this_o promise_n all_o the_o clergy_n in_o the_o land_n have_v seem_v

and_o therefore_o now_o we_o be_v put_v in_o a_o legal_a way_n by_o be_v call_v together_o in_o convocation_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v this_o promise_n good_a for_o hereby_o we_o have_v not_o only_o raise_v the_o expectation_n of_o the_o dissenter_n but_o also_o of_o the_o whole_a nation_n too_o who_o be_v earnest_a for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o public_a good_a and_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o the_o difference_n between_o we_o shall_v be_v compose_v and_o if_o we_o do_v nothing_o in_o compliance_n herewith_o what_o can_v we_o expect_v but_o that_o the_o general_a clamour_n of_o the_o people_n will_v be_v raise_v against_o we_o hereon_o as_o a_o base_a and_o false_a sort_n of_o man_n who_o can_v promise_v fair_a in_o time_n of_o adversity_n and_o forget_v all_o performance_n when_o they_o be_v over_o and_o we_o become_v the_o reproach_n of_o every_o man_n hereon_o i_o know_v the_o answer_n hereto_o be_v that_o the_o dissenter_n will_v do_v nothing_o on_o their_o part_n towards_o this_o temper_n and_o that_o after_o all_o that_o we_o can_v do_v on_o we_o we_o can_v have_v assurance_n that_o any_o one_o of_o they_o will_v come_v over_o to_o we_o thereon_o and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o we_o to_o proceed_v any_o further_a on_o this_o project_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v first_o that_o it_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n true_a that_o all_o dissenter_n be_v so_o averse_a to_o a_o reconciliation_n with_o we_o as_o this_o answer_n suggest_v for_o i_o know_v multitude_n that_o on_o grant_v the_o alteration_n propose_v will_v most_o glad_o come_v in_o and_o unite_v themselves_o to_o we_o that_o their_o minister_n be_v not_o so_o forward_o as_o to_o this_o i_o believe_v to_o be_v true_a because_o they_o have_v many_o of_o they_o very_o beneficial_a conventicle_n where_o they_o have_v a_o more_o plentiful_a income_n great_a respect_n and_o a_o large_a power_n than_o they_o can_v hope_v for_o in_o a_o church_n benefice_n will_v rather_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o self_n interest_n continue_v as_o they_o be_v and_o have_v no_o comprehension_n at_o all_o than_o to_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n thereby_o to_o their_o loss_n but_o with_o the_o people_n i_o know_v it_o will_v be_v otherwise_o who_o will_v in_o large_a number_n come_v in_o to_o we_o as_o soon_o as_o those_o alteration_n shall_v be_v in_o our_o church_n and_o when_o they_o be_v once_o come_v off_o it_o will_v not_o be_v long_o ere_o their_o minister_n also_o will_v be_v force_v to_o follow_v but_o second_o suppose_v it_o true_a that_o no_o dissenter_n at_o all_o will_v be_v bring_v over_o to_o we_o by_o the_o concession_n propose_v yet_o i_o say_v that_o we_o be_v still_o bind_v as_o well_o by_o interest_n as_o duty_n to_o perform_v what_o we_o have_v promise_v for_o by_o do_v our_o part_n herein_o first_o we_o shall_v leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n if_o they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v thereon_o and_o deliver_v ourselves_o from_o abundance_n of_o their_o clamour_n which_o we_o be_v now_o continual_o vex_v with_o by_o they_o on_o this_o account_n second_o we_o shall_v thereby_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o nation_n who_o expect_v this_o from_o we_o and_o fix_v they_o thereby_o the_o more_o firm_o to_o we_o for_o say_v we_o what_o we_o will_v of_o the_o strength_n and_o number_n of_o those_o that_o be_v for_o we_o let_v we_o not_o deceive_v ourselves_o as_o they_o that_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o dissenter_n be_v no_o great_a number_n neither_o be_v they_o that_o be_v zealous_a for_o we_o the_o main_a body_n of_o the_o nation_n i_o look_v on_o to_o stand_v indifferent_o affect_v both_o to_o they_o and_o we_o and_o although_o they_o now_o come_v to_o our_o church_n yet_o be_v they_o as_o ready_a to_o join_v also_o with_o they_o be_v they_o in_o the_o public_a ministry_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o cromwell_n have_v be_v sufficient_o make_v appear_v for_o they_o think_v not_o the_o controversy_n between_o we_o of_o that_o moment_n and_o therefore_o cry_v loud_o to_o we_o to_o agree_v and_o take_v it_o very_o ill_o that_o such_o discord_n and_o division_n shall_v be_v still_o maintain_v in_o the_o nation_n so_o much_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o safety_n about_o such_o trifle_a matter_n as_o they_o think_v they_o to_o be_v which_o we_o contend_v with_o each_o
