that_o i_o crave_v your_o answer_n 2._o and_o do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o in_o the_o bill_n of_o mortality_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o parish_n within_o the_o wall_n be_v but_o about_o the_o seven_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a and_o the_o outer_a parish_n which_o be_v thus_o great_a be_v about_o six_o part_n and_o in_o these_o parish_n it_o be_v not_o the_o ten_o part_n in_o some_o and_o the_o six_o in_o most_o that_o can_v come_v within_o the_o church_n to_o hear_v and_o it_o be_v pity_v that_o one_o half_a or_o two_o or_o three_o part_n of_o such_o a_o city_n as_o london_n shall_v be_v leave_v like_o the_o indian_n without_o any_o public_a teach_v and_o worship_n and_o such_o as_o you_o say_v so_o much_o for_o it_o §_o 8._o you_o say_v the_o separate_a meeting_n be_v keep_v

and_o the_o tabernacle_n will_v not_o hold_v the_o people_n as_o christ-church_n and_o other_o 3._o and_o divers_a keep_v meeting_n within_o the_o wall_n where_o they_o find_v most_o peace_n for_o the_o reception_n of_o those_o without_o the_o wall_n that_o can_v come_v into_o their_o own_o church_n 4._o what_o be_v do_v at_o newington_n i_o know_v not_o but_o at_o hackney_n i_o know_v of_o two_o meeting_n where_o the_o minister_n so_o preach_v out_o of_o the_o time_n of_o public_a worship_n that_o none_o may_v be_v hinder_v from_o go_v to_o it_o and_o deny_v not_o communion_n with_o the_o parish-church_n and_o they_o tell_v i_o that_o as_o the_o incumbent_n officiate_v by_o another_o so_o the_o parish_n be_v so_o great_a and_o the_o preacher_n voice_n so_o low_a that_o a_o great_a part_n can_v hear_v he_o 5._o why_o do_v you_o say_v they_o be_v separate_a meeting_n when_o you_o know_v that_o you_o have_v cast_v they_o out_o the_o preacher_n have_v rather_o preach_v in_o your_o temple_n and_o they_o can_v be_v suffer_v preacher_n and_o people_n that_o be_v profess_v nonconformist_n but_o in_o opinion_n be_v by_o the_o canon_n ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la excommunicate_a §_o 9_o as_o to_o what_o you_o say_v of_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o meeting_n i_o answer_v 1._o i_o think_v as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v judge_v the_o most_o of_o my_o hearer_n i_o think_v ten_o or_o twenty_o to_o one_o do_v also_o hear_v in_o the_o parish_n church_n so_o that_o your_o charge_n of_o separation_n against_o they_o be_v but_o for_o hear_v both_o and_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v so_o with_o many_o other_o 2._o every_o one_o that_o prefer_v better_a do_v not_o separate_v from_o all_o the_o rest_n your_o church_n allow_v any_o free_a man_n to_o forsake_v and_o change_v his_o bishop_n and_o parish_n priest_n as_o oft_o as_o he_o will_v so_o he_o will_v but_o 8._o i_o believe_v that_o a_o father_n must_v be_v honour_v and_o have_v care_n of_o his_o child_n life_n and_o soul_n he_o must_v command_v they_o necessary_a food_n and_o mean_n for_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o they_o must_v obey_v he_o if_o the_o law_n forbid_v it_o 9_o i_o believe_v that_o murder_a soul_n privative_o or_o positive_o be_v a_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o murder_a body_n as_o many_o undertake_n and_o not_o perform_v pastor_n will_v find_v 10._o i_o believe_v that_o he_o that_o obey_v not_o a_o law_n which_o be_v make_v against_o god_n law_n or_o without_o authority_n give_v by_o he_o sin_v not_o against_o authority_n 11._o i_o think_v in_o such_o case_n he_o that_o submit_v to_o the_o penalty_n of_o a_o penal_a law_n do_v enough_o 12._o i_o conjecture_v that_o the_o multitude_n of_o casuist_n politic_a writer_n and_o lawyer_n who_o say_v that_o because_o the_o common_a good_a be_v the_o end_n of_o government_n and_o all_o power_n be_v for_o edification_n no_o law_n oblige_v which_o be_v against_o the_o common_a good_a or_o at_o least_o that_o be_v destructive_a of_o it_o be_v like_o to_o be_v near_o as_o know_v in_o such_o matter_n as_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o doctor_n hearer_n and_o reader_n 13._o and_o i_o be_o past_a doubt_n that_o he_o that_o deny_v these_o principle_n

we_o in_o such_o matter_n as_o our_o conformity_n to_o consider_v that_o a_o error_n in_o we_o especial_o so_o practical_a and_o momentous_a be_v far_o more_o dangerous_a than_o in_o the_o people_n if_o all_o my_o neighbour_n mistake_v my_o disease_n and_o the_o remedy_n it_o may_v not_o hurt_v i_o but_o if_o my_o physician_n mistake_v it_o it_o may_v be_v my_o death_n bishop_n usher_n and_o many_o protestant_n do_v except_o a_o learned_a papist_n much_o more_o than_o the_o unlearned_a from_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n §_o 12._o i_o will_v ready_o answer_v your_o query_n though_o you_o refuse_v to_o answer_v i_o to_o your_o first_o those_o who_o rightful_o give_v order_n must_v give_v such_o order_n as_o god_n have_v institute_v and_o may_v not_o limit_v or_o suspend_v contrary_a
