can_v make_v they_o to_o be_v all_o of_o one_o kind_n for_o all_o crime_n tend_v more_o or_o less_o to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o virtue_n yet_o no_o man_n can_v say_v that_o all_o crime_n be_v of_o

for_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o particular_a law_n if_o i_o be_v guilty_a i_o be_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o sanction_n of_o that_o law_n which_o i_o have_v break_v 3._o three_o whereas_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o many_o action_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n make_v a_o habit._n that_o be_v true_a but_o what_o then_o for_o first_o the_o action_n urge_v against_o i_o be_v not_o of_o the_o

well_o as_o the_o result_n or_o habit_n itself_o whereas_o it_o have_v be_v grant_v all_o along_o that_o my_o particular_a action_n be_v not_o treason_n and_o three_o a_o habit_n in_o itself_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v treason_n for_o all_o treason_n be_v either_o thought_n word_n or_o overt_a act_n but_o no_o habit_n be_v either_o of_o these_o therefore_o not_o treason_n for_o a_o

so_o a_o ill_a habit_n against_o sovereign_a power_n may_v make_v a_o man_n apt_a and_o forward_a to_o fall_v into_o treason_n but_o treason_n it_o be_v not_o 4._o four_o nor_o can_v this_o result_v

to_o offend_v again_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n it_o be_v but_o once_o and_o your_o lordship_n will_v consider_v the_o occasion_n in_o this_o suit_n be_v there_o need_v i_o will_v join_v with_o my_o lord_n for_o though_o i_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hard_a measure_n put_v upon_o i_o in_o this_o speech_n yet_o i_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v content_a with_o it_o because_o this_o whole_a discourse_n of_o my_o lord_n well_o weigh_v be_v more_o against_o himself_o then_o i_o and_o such_o trouble_v of_o his_o lordship_n i_o hope_v all_o man_n well_o affect_v to_o the_o present_a church_n of_o england_n will_v easy_o pardon_v and_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o lordship_n and_o all_o man_n else_o will_v the_o rather_o do_v when_o they_o consider_v the_o occasion_n which_o certain_o i_o give_v not_o personal_o in_o the_o house_n but_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n it_o seem_v will_v needs_o be_v mean_v the_o second_o request_n be_v to_o entreat_v of_o you_o that_o where_o you_o know_v there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n worship_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n and_o cause_v a_o unblamable_a

thrust_v out_o of_o the_o land_n and_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n for_o if_o you_o thus_o shall_v wound_v the_o conscience_n of_o your_o brethren_n you_o will_v certain_o offend_v and_o sin_n against_o christ._n in_o this_o second_o request_n i_o can_v easy_o agree_v with_o my_o lord_n in_o some_o thing_n but_o must_v differ_v in_o other_o and_o first_o i_o agree_v with_o all_o my_o 1._o heart_n that_o i_o will_v have_v no_o pressure_n at_o all_o much_o less_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n put_v upon_o they_o who_o be_v know_v to_o worship_v the_o same_o god_n to_o embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n but_o in_o this_o i_o must_v disagree_v that_o the_o separatist_n for_o they_o be_v the_o man_n of_o who_o this_o lord_n speak_v thus_o and_o say_v they_o be_v your_o brethren_n and_o concur_v with_o you_o in_o all_o these_o be_v not_o know_v to_o be_v such_o for_o though_o he_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n who_o they_o worship_v yet_o the_o worship_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o my_o lord_n say_v plain_o that_o our_o set_a form_n be_v superstition_n and_o that_o he_o can_v join_v in_o communion_n with_o we_o till_o our_o
yoke_n of_o bondage_n and_o our_o other_o gross_a corruption_n be_v remove_v and_o i_o must_v doubt_v they_o embrace_v not_o the_o same_o faith_n till_o they_o admit_v the_o whole_a creed_n and_o will_v use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n which_o few_o of_o they_o will_n as_o for_o the_o spirit_n that_o work_v by_o love_n i_o much_o fear_v he_o be_v a_o great_a stranger_n to_o many_o of_o these_o men._n for_o i_o have_v many_o way_n find_v their_o malice_n to_o be_v fierce_a and_o yet_o endless_a and_o therefore_o i_o wonder_v my_o lord_n shall_v have_v the_o boldness_n to_o tell_v my_o lord_n in_o parliament_n that_o they_o know_v all_o these_o thing_n of_o these_o man_n and_o that_o they_o be_v their_o brethren_n and_o concur_v with_o they_o in_o all_o these_o forename_a thing_n who_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n their_o lordship_n do_v and_o can_v but_o know_v different_a from_o they_o nay_o separate_a from_o they_o in_o the_o very_a worship_n of_o god_n next_o i_o agree_v with_o my_o

the_o state_n but_o in_o this_o i_o must_v disagree_v that_o the_o separatist_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v such_o manner_n of_o men._n for_o the_o private_a conversation_n of_o very_a many_o of_o they_o who_o i_o can_v name_v be_v it_o fit_a be_v far_o from_o be_v unblamable_a 2._o and_o the_o public_a conversation_n of_o all_o or_o most_o of_o they_o be_v full_a of_o offence_n to_o the_o state_n unless_o my_o lord_n think_v the_o state_n be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v of_o their_o humour_n for_o how_o can_v their_o conversation_n be_v without_o great_a offence_n very_o great_a to_o this_o or_o any_o state_n christian_n who_o shall_v have_v and_o maintain_v private_a conventicle_n and_o meeting_n in_o a_o different_a way_n of_o religion_n from_o that_o which_o be_v
