Obj. 10. But why do not you conform, if you can communicate with them?
Ans. 1. Why cannot I be carnal, contentious, drink too much at the Sacrament, if I could have communicated with the Church of Corinth that had such? Why did not Christ commit the Synagogue-sins, if he could communicate in the Synagogues? The persons who put this question, disgrace themselves by judging of things which they understand not. If they know not what more is in Ministers Conformity, than in joining as private persons in the Parish-Worship, let them read my first Plea for Peace, and they may know.
