This is every mans profeflion in his Church- communion and no more; unlefs he make force force further particular expreflion of more, as e- very fear ufeth to do , in profeffing the opinions cf,their party. Why then Ihould any Jyar charge me to make a profeffion which I never made,wheri iny-,profe(lion in my Chriffian communion is de- fcribed by Chriff himfelf who instituted it ? And why fhould I turn lyar againff my-felf, and 'fay that my prefence is a profefiìon of that confent which I never made the leaft profeffìonof ?

Why Ihoulld any hold me guilty ofanother mans fault, which I neither can help, nor belongeth to any office of mine to help, any furtbex than to admonifh him. Q 3 Fourth;
