aforegoing we firmly build this Position That the Presbyterian Party ought not in Justice or Reason of State to be rejected and depressed but ought to be protected and encouraged This is but one Doctor 's opinion we think otherwise Nevertheless says he there being a seeming complication in this business and an other ample Party appearing in competition a difficulty remains and the matter falls into a further deliberation And thereupon we are fallen upon the second Main Enquiry II. Quest. Whether the Presbyterian Party may be protected and encouraged and the Episcopal not deserted nor disobliged Observation 'T is a particular Grace that the Bishops Party may yet be admitted into the Competition and that the man of the short Robe will vouchsafe to enquire into the Consistence of Episcopacy and Presbytery yet it was boldly ventur'd to Determine what Ought to be done before he had examin'd whether the Thing was Fesible or no. I shall not spend my Time to Controvert Idea's and wrangle about Governments in the Air we are for Plain and Practicable Contrivements such as Authority Good Order and Long Experience have recommended to us I suppose the agreeing of Both Parties in such Middle terms as he proposes a thing not utterly Impossible Many things may be fair enough in Notion yet of exceeding hazzard to be put in Practice especially 't is dangerous to try Tricks with Politick Constitutions Great alterations are scarce safe even where they are Lawful and wrought with good Intention Much less are those so which are promoted by a Disorderly and Popular Earnestness and with seditious meaning For this I dare lay down as a Position Never did any Private Party band against a Publick Settlement with an intent to mend it But what have we to do with the Imaginary Coalition of the two Church-Parties when the Kirk-Discipline affronts the Civil Sanction and Actually invades the Kings Authority Let them first bring their Principles to their Duties Treating like Subjects and Submitting as Christians Can any man believe those People Friends to the Church that are Enemies to the State or that the God of Order can be pleased with the Promoters of Confusion Were there no other reason to deny the thing they ask than their bare manner of Asking it ought not to be Granted What signifies their talk of Number Power Resolution but a false Muster of the Faction to make a party with the Rabble when yet God knows they 're Inconsiderable let every man but over-look his Neighbour and Count he 'l find the Disproportion Undoubtedly the most Insufferable of all their Arguments is that of Danger there 's but one step between that Word and Violence First it implies a Seditious Complication They move for such as they believe will Tumult if not where lies the Hazzard Besides those Subjects that dare tell their Prince 't is dangerous to deny their Askings do by that insolence render his Concessions much more hazzardous Persons of that audacious temper will hardly make a sober use of an extorted Bounty So far as Presbyterian and Episcopal purely refer to the Church I shall not much concern my self in Our Resolvers Second main Enquiry Equal to all the World is the Incomparable Hooker upon that Subject but where these terms are in a greater Latitude applyed to Civil matters I shall be bold to pass some further Observations The Dissenting side oppose not all Liturgy but desire that the present onm may be Changd or reformed Observation That 's but a modest Motion But now suppose his Majesty the Law and Forty for One of the Nation should desire the Continuance of it as it is what Equity have the Dissenters to the Change or what would be the Benefit if Granted Not the Tenth part even of the Presbyterians would be contented with it Some of them are against all set-Forms of Common-prayer whatever Others more moderate forsooth do not oppose a prescript Form so it be not enjoyn'd A third sort will vouchsafe to permit the English Liturgy provided they may have the purgeing of it themselves And when all 's done the Sectaries may claim as much right to abolish That as they to alter This. And now for Ceremonies They oppose not any Circumstance of Decency and Order but desire that mystical Ceremonies of humane Institution may be abolished or not enjoyned First the Dissenters are not the Judges of Decency and Order and for Mystical Ceremonies of humane Institution as Scaliger says of the Sepia Caliginem effundit evadit He troubles the Water and escapes in the Dark Multiformity in Religion says our Reconciler pleading for Accommodation publickly profess'd doth not well comport with the spirit of this Nation which is free eager jealous apt to animosities and jealousies besides that it hath ever had a strong propension to Vniformity Observation Had this fallen from a Common pen I could have better born the Disproportion of his Character of the English Temper Free Eager Jealous and yet propense to Vniforformity This seems to me a mixture incompossible But the good man means well and writes so when he lists His drift is to perswade us that to comply with the Presbytery is to comport with the spirit of this Nation which being Free and Eager seems to Cry Beware How blessedly would these Free-spirited Worthies order their Subjects if they were once in power that thus presume from their own Level to Menace and Control Authority If Toleration might compose the Difference there were some hope but That alas is more than they can afford the Government and much less will they accept it for themselves The temper of this Kingdom says he does not well accord with extremes on either hand and to see the fortune of it the Presbyterians are just in the Middle Toleration being not the Daughter of Amity but of Enmity at least in some degree supposeth the party tolerated to be a burden especially if conceived dangerous to the way established and commonly holds no longer than meer necessity compels and consequently neither party take themselves to be safe the one always fearing to lose its Authority and the other its Liberty Observation Behold a learned Expostulation and a dutiful Where the party toelrated appears dangerous to the way established the one fears to lose its Authority and the other its Liberty There 's no great depth in the discovery that from an Opinion of mutual Danger arises mutual Jealousie But what 's this case to the Subject of our Debate By Toleration is not meant an Imprudential Yielding to an Untractable and Churlish Faction but a discreet and pious Application of Tenderness toward such as by their Fair Comportment in the Main of Order and good Manners appear to merit it True it is God himself is the onely Searcher of Hearts who sees our Thoughts even in the bed of their Conception Yet where we find an inconformity of practise to profession people that strein at a
