convert_v papist_n i_o do_v think_v fit_a to_o leave_v out_o upon_o these_o two_o ground_n the_o one_o that_o the_o word_n negligent_a be_v too_o general_a a_o expression_n and_o of_o too_o large_a a_o extent_n to_o lay_v a_o minister_n open_a to_o deposition_n and_o if_o church-governor_n to_o who_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o canon_n be_v commit_v shall_v forget_v christian_a moderation_n

but_o with_o suspension_n for_o three_o month_n the_o other_o ground_n why_o i_o omit_v this_o clause_n be_v because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o church_n of_o scotland_n or_o any_o other_o particular_a church_n be_v so_o bless_a in_o her_o priest_n as_o that_o every_o of_o her_o minister_n be_v for_o learning_n and_o judgement_n and_o temper_v able_a and_o fit_a to_o convert_v papist_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v think_v then_o and_o do_v think_v yet_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a a_o work_n or_o to_o be_v make_v so_o common_a but_o that_o it_o be_v and_o may_v be_v much_o fit_a for_o some_o able_a select_a man_n to_o undertake_v and_o if_o any_o man_n think_v god_n gift_n in_o he_o to_o be_v neglect_v as_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o overvalue_v themselves_o let_v they_o try_v their_o gift_n and_o labour_v their_o conversion_n in_o god_n name_n but_o let_v not_o the_o church_n by_o a_o canon_n set_v every_o man_n on_o work_n lest_o their_o weak_a or_o indiscreet_a

tell_v i_o this_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o the_o least_o proof_n offer_v that_o he_o do_v but_o because_o this_o and_o the_o like_a passage_n about_o expunge_v some_o thing_n out_o of_o book_n make_v such_o a_o great_a noise_n as_o if_o nothing_o concern_v popery_n may_v be_v print_v and_o because_o mr._n brown_n in_o sum_v up_o of_o the_o charge_n in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o warm_o insist_v upon_o this_o particular_a i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o answer_v as_o follow_v that_o what_o move_v my_o chaplain_n to_o expunge_v that_o large_a passage_n against_o image_n i_o know_v not_o nor_o can_v i_o now_o know_v my_o chaplain_n be_v dead_a but_o that_o this_o i_o be_v sure_a of_o that_o elsewhere_o in_o those_o very_a sermon_n there_o be_v as_o plain_v a_o passage_n sermon_n and_o full_a against_o 477._o image_n leave_v in_o and_o in_o another_o place_n a_o whole_a leaf_n together_o spend_v to_o prove_v they_o 791._o idolater_n and_o that_o as_o gross_a as_o the_o baalist_n and_o so_o he_o term_v they_o yea_o and_o that_o the_o 808._o pope_n be_v antichrist_n too_o and_o not_o only_o call_v so_o but_o prove_v by_o divers_a argument_n and_o not_o so_o only_o but_o in_o

other-like_a to_o these_o there_o be_v so_o my_o chaplain_n may_v see_v good_a cause_n to_o leave_v out_o some_o passage_n where_o so_o many_o upon_o as_o good_a cause_n be_v leave_v in_o but_o to_o the_o business_n of_o leave_v the_o care_n of_o these_o book_n and_o the_o overview_n of_o they_o to_o my_o chaplain_n it_o be_v then_o urge_v that_o the_o commissary_n w._n of_o john_n lord_n archbishop_n of_o york_n have_v excommunicate_v the_o lord_n bishop_n of_o durham_n be_v then_o in_o the_o king_n service_n and_o that_o the_o archbishop_n himself_o be_v deep_o fine_v for_o this_o

his_o commissary_n who_o have_v a_o patent_n and_o can_v not_o be_v put_v out_o at_o pleasure_n mr._n brown_a also_o follow_v this_o precedent_n close_o upon_o i_o but_o first_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n in_o the_o thing_n itself_o my_o chaplain_n case_n be_v but_o the_o leave_v out_o of_o a_o passage_n in_o a_o book_n to_o be_v print_v but_o his_o commissary_n case_n be_v the_o excommunicate_v of_o a_o great_a bishop_n and_o he_o in_o the_o king_n service_n of_o who_o honour_n the_o law_n of_o this_o realm_n be_v very_o tender_a and_o second_o the_o bishop_n and_o his_o official_a call_v he_o chancellor_n or_o commissary_n or_o what_o you_o will_v make_v but_o one_o person_n in_o law_n and_o therefore_o the_o act_n of_o the_o commissary_n to_o the_o full_a

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

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
