with_o the_o ceremonial_a part_n of_o the_o constitution_n settle_v at_o that_o time_n how_o a_o unsatisfied_a party_n have_v gradual_o increase_v from_o age_n to_o age_n among_o the_o common_a

whereas_o the_o minister_n according_a to_o the_o notion_n he_o have_v of_o they_o present_o may_v we_o be_v to_o attend_v chief_o to_o what_o he_o say_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o lay-people_n and_o

you_o see_v in_o short_a absolute_o pronounce_v our_o practice_n in_o this_o case_n to_o be_v sinful_a and_o mischievous_a now_o it_o be_v hence_o also_o to_o be_v collect_v how_o hard_a thing_n he_o will_v have_v we_o suffer_v upon_o supposition_n of_o our_o only_a remain_v unsatisfied_a to_o join_v ourselves_o into_o the_o parochial_a communion_n he_o do_v not_o indeed_o bespeak_v for_o we_o

nothing_o to_o say_v against_o our_o bare_a suspending_a communion_n in_o some_o particular_a rite_n which_o we_o modest_o scruple_n while_o we_o use_v it_o in_o what_o we_o judge_v lawful_a p._n 20._o whereas_o p._n 37._o he_o suppose_v we_o general_o to_o judge_v it_o unlawful_a to_o join_v in_o the_o public_a assembly_n to_o which_o purpose_n he_o also_o speak_v in_o his_o late_a dialogue_n p._n 171._o and_o 172._o give_v his_o antagonist_n a_o account_n of_o what_o he_o have_v say_v in_o his_o irenicum_fw-la to_o the_o matter_n now_o in_o discourse_n viz._n that_o some_o scrupulous_a and_o conscientious_a man_n after_o all_o endeavour_n use_v to_o satisfy_v themselves_o may_v remain_v unsatisfied_a as_o to_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o some_o impose_v rite_n but_o dare_v not_o

these_o he_o put_v the_o question_n whether_o such_o bare_a nonconformity_n do_v involve_v such_o man_n in_o the_o gild_n of_o schism_n and_o this_o he_o confess_v he_o resolve_v negative_o approve_v

he_o well_o know_v that_o if_o we_o suspend_v communion_n in_o the_o rite_n of_o the_o cross_n upon_o our_o never_o so_o modest_a scruple_n we_o can_v have_v our_o child_n ministerial_o dedicate_v
