Will you declare it unlawful upon any pretence whatsoever for any persons whether the Parliament or any other to assist the King or to endeavour any Reformation without his consent Mr. Jenkins First it 's a sin against Gods Ordinance Prov. 8.15 Secondly it 's a sin against the publick welfare they that are weary of Magistrates are weary of all the comforts and blessings of peace Thirdly it 's a sin against our own happiness Eccles 10.8 to resist the lawful Magistrate Good men will not be bad Subjects neither can evil men be good Subjects C.

D. For your part all ye the looser part of the people we desire you may offer what you agree upon among your selves which his Majesty will consider of in order to a publick Peace In the mean time you are wished to attend the publick Ordinances of God as far as you can in Conscience until an expedient may be sound in due time P. C. VVe shall enjoyn that there be nothing taught publickly but the great Truths wherein ye all agree and therefore we pray you attend upon publick Preaching and though you own not the men yet own the VVord not as the word of this or that man but as it is indeed the VVord of God Jesse Some may preach Christ out of envy and some out of contention but so Christ be preached we shall rejoyce and attend upon it Venning It is to be feared that they who turn their backs upon the Ordinance of God may turn their backs upon the God of Ordinances Anabaptists c. There are so many things in your Ordinances that we cannot like Orthodox There are many things I dislike in all places yet I frequent them which because they do not concern me I pass by peaceably without any further noise or disquiet VVe desire you onely to be present at the Ordinances of God and to submit to what is of God and to think as you please of what you see of man there All Moderate Men.
