IN the next place, the same thing is confirmed by the particular indignities, which peaceable, learned, godly minded men do suffer, for but declaring of their contrary judgement: as that they are accounted Puritans, Schismatics, and by canon excommunicated ipso facto, so as no Council ever censured any heresy, without liberty of appeal, which is not denied to great malefactors. Conf. at Hampton. p. 26 […]. 6 & 98. In the repeating of this Argument, I add that out of the Abridgement, which the Def. for I know not what reason, omitted. Now in his answer he neither denieth antecedent, nor consequence, so that the judicious Reader may safely take all to be granted. Yet that he might seem to say somewhat, 1 he granteth that we have reason perhaps to wish, that some penalties were released. And have we not reason then to think the Convocation which set these penalties was nothing less then led by the spirit of God? And if the Def. can thus show his differing judgment from that Convocation in the penalties, what disorder or exorbitancy is it for another to show his differing judgment from them and him in ceremonies.
