a_o discourse_n upon_o these_o word_n upon_o which_o i_o shall_v proceed_v in_o the_o follow_a method_n first_o i_o shall_v show_v what_o persecution_n be_v or_o when_o christian_n be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v persecute_v second_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o our_o brethren_n of_o the_o french_a church_n be_v under_o a_o true_a persecution_n or_o true_o persecute_v three_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o

shall_v show_v what_o persecution_n be_v which_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o i_o to_o do_v because_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o persecution_n be_v general_o mistake_v man_n often_o miscal_v that_o by_o the_o odious_a name_n of_o persecution_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o execution_n of_o just_a and_o sometime_o of_o necessary_a and_o wholesome_a law_n thus_o the_o modern_a jew_n in_o their_o writing_n speak_v of_o themselves_o as_o of_o a_o people_n that_o be_v persecute_v by_o the_o seed_n of_o esau_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n the_o papist_n those_o in_o the_o british_a dominion_n especial_o complain_v that_o they_o be_v persecute_v by_o the_o heretic_n and_o beside_o they_o there_o be_v yet_o many_o other_o sort_n among_o we_o who_o make_v bitter_a out-cry_n against_o persecution_n when_o their_o suffering_n if_o try_v by_o the_o true_a test_n of_o persecution_n will_v not_o i_o be_o confident_a appear_v to_o be_v such_o therefore_o that_o i_o may_v lay_v down_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o it_o i_o must_v desire_v you_o to_o observe_v that_o the_o original_a word_n in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n as_o likewise_o the_o latin_a word_n for_o persecution_n and_o to_o persecute_v proper_o signify_v to_o pursue_v or_o run_v after_o another_o to_o stop_v he_o or_o get_v before_o he_o and_o from_o this_o agonistical_a acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n they_o be_v translate_v into_o a_o tropical_a sense_n to_o signify_v to_o prosecute_v pursue_v or_o attach_v by_o law_n i_o confess_v sometime_o they_o signify_v to_o pursue_v after_o another_o to_o kill_v he_o and_o so_o come_v to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o military_a sense_n to_o prosecute_v by_o the_o sword_n but_o because_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o confine_v my_o discourse_n to_o legal_a or_o pretend_v legal_a persecution_n i_o shall_v take_v no_o notice_n of_o sword-persecution_n further_o than_o it_o happen_v to_o the_o subject_n from_o the_o magistrate_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o law_n to_o make_v this_o which_o be_v the_o first_o step_n of_o my_o discourse_n as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v i_o tell_v you_o again_o that_o the_o scripture-word_n for_o to_o persecute_v signify_v to_o prosecute_v or_o pursue_v by_o law_n and_o by_o law_n i_o here_o understand_v law_n in_o the_o large_a sense_n for_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o supreme_a authority_n whereby_o the_o people_n that_o live_v under_o it_o be_v command_v to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v otherwise_o to_o do_v or_o forbear_v do_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n now_o because_o in_o the_o several_a time_n wherein_o the_o several_a book_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v write_v as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o age_n since_o good_a man_n be_v often_o prosecute_v and_o pursue_v by_o
