be_v part_n also_o of_o the_o same_o rule_n to_o go_v no_o far_o than_o we_o can_v our_o duty_n of_o love_n require_v the_o one_o our_o duty_n of_o faith_n require_v the_o other_o we_o may_v not_o

shall_v break_v the_o rule_n as_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o love_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n now_o when_o the_o dean_n hereupon_o go_v on_o and_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o must_v sit_v down_o and_o not_o break_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n when_o we_o can_v go_v no_o far_o i_o reply_v there_o be_v a_o break_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n in_o his_o sense_n

must_v go_v no_o far_o than_o we_o can_v but_o when_o we_o go_v to_o private_a meeting_n and_o leave_v the_o church_n in_o this_o case_n where_o we_o suppose_v a_o man_n can_v act_v in_o faith_n or_o with_o persuasion_n in_o his_o conscience_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o go_v thither_o it_o be_v no_o break_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n in_o our_o sense_n but_o a_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n we_o say_v of_o go_v no_o far_o than_o we_o can_v we_o go_v as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v with_o they_o in_o hold_v the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o sacrament_n in_o acknowledge_v they_o as_o

to_o forbear_v any_o thing_n when_o we_o can_v act_v in_o faith_n be_v another_o part_n of_o the_o rule_n put_v they_o both_o together_o and_o it_o come_v to_o this_o that_o to_o go_v to_o other_o meeting_n when_o we_o can_v go_v to_o church_n must_v be_v walk_v by_o the_o rule_n if_o this_o rule_n be_v the_o great_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o love_n out_o of_o question_n this_o i_o speak_v
