christian_a resolution_n and_o zeal_n in_o the_o casheer_v of_o these_o troubler_n of_o israel_n a_o three_o sort_n of_o achan_n be_v neutralizer_n but_o so_o as_o the_o bias_n of_o their_o affection_n wheel_n and_o sway_v they_o round_o to_o popery_n these_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o pernicious_a plague_n to_o israel_n in_o that_o under_o the_o seemly_a vale_n and_o masionlike_o habit_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n they_o labour_v to_o bring_v in_o that_o old_a babylonish_n strumpet_n hoodwink_v that_o we_o shall_v all_o reacknowledge_v she_o for_o our_o mother_n as_o may_v appear_v in_o a_o certain_a book_n of_o private_a devotion_n so_o call_v publish_v by_o authority_n the_o main_a scope_n thereof_o all_o along_o be_v to_o reduce_v we_o all_o to_o one_o church_n and_o that_o none_o other_o but_o forsooth_o the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n of_o rome_n but_o the_o whole_a mystery_n of_o iniquity_n fold_v up_o therein_o will_v require_v a_o more_o particular_a unfold_n these_o neutralizer_n or_o popish_a arminian_n or_o arminian_n papist_n or_o what_o you_o will_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n dare_v vent_v any_o arminian_n heresy_n as_o in_o a_o book_n late_o print_v by_o authority_n too_o there_o be_v this_o most_o blasphemous_a arminian_n heresy_n that_o there_o be_v a_o goodness_n obiective_n in_o the_o creature_n which_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n be_v precedent_n to_o the_o act_n or_o exercise_n of_o god_n will_n thus_o by_o necessary_a consequence_n make_v the_o creature_n a_o god_n have_v a_o selfe-being_a independent_a but_o only_o upon_o god_n bare_a prescience_n upon_o which_o and_o not_o upon_o that_o suprema_fw-la causa_fw-la causarum_fw-la god_n will_v he_o hang_v the_o be_v and_o well_o be_v of_o all_o the_o creature_n and_o this_o sort_n and_o confederacy_n of_o achan_n have_v get_v such_o a_o high_a hand_n that_o no_o book_n may_v be_v set_v out_o if_o it_o be_v direct_o against_o popery_n and_o arminianism_n nor_o against_o popery_n in_o special_a but_o with_o some_o qualification_n or_o ingredient_n such_o as_o this_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n though_o she_o have_v many_o error_n yet_o be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o by_o this_o device_n they_o do_v like_o balaam_n mighty_o prevail_v and_o that_o with_o great_a one_o scholar_n and_o other_o to_o draw_v we_o to_o some_o friendly_a commerce_n and_o correspondence_n with_o that_o whoore._n and_o they_o be_v grow_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confident_a becave_a they_o have_v authority_n in_o their_o hand_n either_o to_o approve_v or_o prohibit_v what_o book_n they_o list_v whereas_o if_o the_o way_n be_v open_a as_o formerly_z free_o to_o print_v book_n by_o authority_n against_o popery_n and_o her_o confederate_a arminian_n their_o neutralize_v achan_n as_o so_o many_o owl_n will_v fly_v into_o their_o dark_a cell_n as_o not_o able_a to_o behold_v the_o sunbeam_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o we_o hope_v and_o pray_v that_o joshua_n and_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n will_v take_v such_o order_n that_o instead_o of_o popish_a and_o arminian_n book_n orthodox_n book_n may_v be_v free_o publish_v by_o authority_n and_o suffer_v i_o to_o speak_v o_o noble_a sage_n of_o israel_n i_o be_o for_o god_n &_o my_o king_n for_o religion_n and_o my_o country_n if_o you_o o_o joshua_n and_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n purge_v not_o out_o these_o pestilent_a acan_o or_o close_o clip_v their_o wing_n they_o must_v needs_o bring_v utter_a confusion_n upon_o this_o state_n ere_o it_o be_v long_o they_o daily_o creep_v into_o high_a favour_n in_o court_n they_o prevail_v mighty_o by_o their_o plausible_a insinuate_a intoxicate_a flattery_n they_o go_v about_o as_o the_o prophet_n osee_n speak_v to_o make_v the_o king_n glad_a with_o their_o lie_n their_o theme_n and_o theorem_n be_v that_o king_n be_v partaker_n of_o god_n own_o omnipotency_n though_o this_o be_v a_o divine_a attribute_n incommunicable_a to_o any_o creature_n that_o justice_n can_v be_v no_o rule_n or_o medium_fw-la whereby_o to_o give_v god_n or_o the_o king_n his_o right_n as_o if_o right_a be_v not_o ground_v upon_o justice_n as_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o take_v away_o justice_n and_o where_o be_v right_a or_o as_o if_o the_o service_n which_o we_o perform_v to_o god_n be_v not_o bound_v upon_o god_n law_n which_o be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a yea_o god_n neither_o command_n nor_o accept_v any_o other_o service_n at_o our_o hand_n but_o such_o as_o his_o law_n prescribe_v and_o thus_o our_o service_n become_v just_a and_o reasonable_a yet_o with_o such_o like_a gloss_n they_o think_v that_o principibus_fw-la placuisse_fw-la viris_fw-la non_fw-la ultima_fw-la taus_n est_fw-la great_a potentate_n thus_o to_o applaud_v they_o reckon_v it_o no_o little_a laud._n nor_o do_v they_o blush_v not_o only_o to_o preach_v these_o thing_n to_o the_o face_n of_o the_o court_n but_o dare_v also_o publish_v in_o print_n this_o their_o shame_n to_o the_o open_a view_n of_o the_o world_n not_o without_o great_a dishonour_n both_o to_o god_n and_o the_o king_n now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n deliver_v our_o good_a and_o gracious_a joshua_n from_o these_o achan_n that_o his_o sweet_a disposition_n may_v not_o be_v enchant_v with_o their_o syren-song_n herein_o the_o joint_a courage_n and_o zeal_n of_o you_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n be_v require_v take_v away_o these_o achan_n from_o the_o king_n and_o his_o throne_n shall_v be_v establish_v in_o righteousness_n many_o other_o branch_n of_o the_o achan-faction_n there_o be_v who_o your_o wisdom_n can_v more_o easy_o find_v out_o but_o the_o masterpiece_n of_o your_o wisdom_n be_v to_o find_v out_o if_o any_o such_o monster_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o rerum_fw-la natura_fw-la where_o the_o main_a root_n and_o head_n of_o all_o these_o branch_n and_o member_n lurk_v that_o must_v be_v dig_v and_o stock_v up_o else_o if_o it_o be_v but_o prune_v it_o will_v but_o sprout_v the_o thick_a if_o they_o go_v on_o thus_o god_n fearful_a judgement_n must_v needs_o fall_v heavy_a upon_o this_o land_n if_o we_o be_v lukewarm_a and_o have_v no_o courage_n for_o the_o truth_n the_o lord_n will_v spew_v we_o out_o of_o his_o mouth_n but_o god_n forbid_v that_o base_a cowardice_n shall_v suffer_v god_n truth_n religion_n king_n crown_n kingdom_n

true-bred_a english_a to_o look_v on_o with_o their_o thumb_n under_o their_o girdle_n betray_v into_o the_o paw_n of_o the_o beast_n &_o cheat_v &_o nosewiped_a even_o to_o their_o face_n that_o

the_o state_n i_o leave_v to_o your_o wisdom_n to_o judge_v but_o this_o i_o dare_v bold_o affirm_v traitor_n they_o be_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n betray_v we_o into_o our_o enemy_n hand_n by_o

you_o noble_a worthy_n of_o israel_n quit_v yourselves_o like_o man_n god_n have_v now_o put_v a_o precious_a opportunity_n into_o your_o hand_n the_o lord_n strengthen_v you_o to_o lay_v fast_o
