be_v independent_n so_o call_v the_o which_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o be_v a_o word_n of_o derision_n cast_v upon_o the_o pure_a sort_n of_o professor_n in_o the_o kingdom_n a_o people_n though_o small_a and_o despise_v yet_o sundry_a of_o they_o through_o grace_n high_o and_o divine_o principled_a act_v to_o high_a and_o divine_a end_n fight_v under_o christ_n banner_n and_o maugre_o man_n and_o devil_n do_v zealous_o and_o eminent_o appear_v for_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n among_o who_o i_o humble_o conceive_v it_o be_v but_o requisite_a to_o distinguish_v viz._n betwixt_o such_o as_o be_v true_o godly_a and_o tender_o conscientious_a though_o differ_v from_o other_o godly_a and_o sound_a man_n in_o such_o opinion_n as_o do_v neither_o prejudice_n faith_n nor_o a_o sanctify_a course_n and_o betwixt_o such_o as_o be_v gross_o opinionate_a who_o opinion_n do_v necessary_o lead_v they_o into_o gross_a practice_n who_o according_a to_o the_o apprehension_n of_o sundry_a learned_a and_o godly_a man_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v tolerate_v as_o have_v in_o they_o too_o much_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o a_o serpentine_a desgine_n to_o undermine_v and_o overturn_v both_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o the_o foundation_n of_o true_a constitute_v church_n the_o second_o be_v presbyterian_o so_o nominate_v many_o of_o who_o i_o easy_o believe_v to_o be_v very_o precious_a in_o god_n sight_n and_o such_o who_o i_o dare_v not_o but_o both_o love_n and_o honour_n howbeit_o i_o much_o fear_v there_o be_v too_o many_o which_o pass_v under_o this_o denomination_n who_o be_v too_o much_o incline_v to_o malignancy_n or_o a_o connivance_n at_o it_o as_o appear_v by_o their_o extreme_a unseemly_a and_o unchristianly_a expression_n some_o say_n they_o have_v rather_o be_v slave_n under_o the_o turk_n other_o they_o have_v rather_o the_o king_n with_o his_o army_n have_v prevail_v choose_v rather_o to_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o popery_n and_o prelacy_n than_o independency_n as_o they_o call_v it_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v they_o have_v rather_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o antichrist_n then_o under_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o saint_n these_o and_o the_o like_a have_v myself_o hear_v express_v and_o that_o by_o some_o who_o be_v deem_v godly_a beside_o the_o extreme_a uncivil_a and_o not_o to_o be_v express_v language_n they_o breathe_v forth_o against_o his_o excellency_n the_o lord_n gen._n fairfax_n lieutenant_n gen._n cromwell_n commissary_n gen._n ireton_n with_o other_o of_o the_o gallant_a and_o godly_a commander_n of_o the_o army_n among_o the_o dog_n of_o who_o flock_n they_o be_v scarce_o to_o be_v account_v now_o these_o thing_n under_o favour_n to_o i_o argue_v high_a malignancy_n and_o such_o thing_n which_o i_o dare_v say_v some_o malignant_n through_o their_o morality_n and_o civility_n will_v abhor_v to_o express_v yet_o set_v i_o modest_o express_v myself_o concern_v these_o man_n i_o conceive_v they_o to_o be_v such_o as_o desire_v some_o a_o kind_n of_o government_n also_o though_o they_o choose_v not_o their_o magistrate_n to_o be_v of_o the_o pure_a nor_o their_o government_n the_o strict_a and_o therefore_o they_o stand_v at_o large_a for_o a_o king_n and_o parliament_n but_o before_o i_o pass_v this_o kind_n let_v i_o crave_v liberty_n to_o insert_v a_o few_o word_n concern_v they_o i_o shall_v under_o favour_n conceive_v it_o but_o meet_v that_o these_o man_n shall_v be_v as_o little_o tolerate_v as_o gross_a opinionist_n sir_n my_o conscience_n bear_v i_o witness_v that_o i_o intend_v not_o in_o the_o least_o any_o godly_a and_o innocent_a man_n though_o a_o presbyterian_a and_o i_o believe_v which_o i_o hope_v without_o offence_n i_o may_v speak_v viz._n that_o neither_o yourself_o the_o army_n high_a court_n of_o justice_n or_o parliament_n will_v or_o dare_v touch_v any_o of_o god_n anoint_v in_o this_o kind_n or_o lay_v the_o least_o of_o your_o finger_n upon_o the_o least_o of_o the_o saint_n as_o saint_n nevertheless_o if_o any_o presbyterian_a or_o other_o though_o possible_o otherwise_o godly_a whether_o any_o member_n impeach_v or_o such_o as_o have_v preach_v together_o with_o other_o among_o they_o who_o in_o their_o prayer_n preaing_n printing_n practice_n private_a discourse_n and_o consultation_n shall_v behave_v themselves_o more_o like_a rail_a rabshachas_n curse_v shemeis_n schoff_v ishmaels_n then_o sweet_a and_o meek_a christian_n i_o humble_o conceive_v in_o this_o

notwithstanding_o their_o devotion_n and_o profession_n the_o devout_a jew_n persecute_v and_o stir_v up_o the_o raskallity_n of_o the_o people_n against_o paul_n as_o some_o now_o will_v glad_o do_v against_o peter_n set_v all_o the_o city_n upon_o a_o uproar_n act_v 17.5_o and_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n notwithstanding_o their_o devotion_n and_o profession_n

godly_a and_o discreet_a gentleman_n read_v therein_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o he_o approve_v of_o it_o he_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o bull._n now_o i_o well_o remember_v that_o many_o year_n since_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o popish_a bull_n but_o to_o live_v to_o see_v a_o presbyterian_a bull_n it_o can_v not_o but_o seem_v exceed_o strange_a to_o i_o as_o be_v such_o a_o beast_n as_o i_o think_v the_o world_n itself_o never_o hear_v of_o until_o now_o and_o true_o to_o i_o it_o administer_v matter_n of_o sadness_n and_o lamentation_n that_o learned_a and_o godly_a presbyterian_o shall_v act_v the_o part_n of_o ungodly_a and_o popish_a prelate_n object_n 1._o but_o they_o say_v in_o so_o do_v they_o discharge_v their_o conscience_n and_o think_v they_o do_v god_n and_o their_o countryman_n good_a service_n answ_n so_o do_v paul_n whilst_o be_v saul_n be_v little_o better_a than_o stark_o stare_v mad_a in_o persecute_v the_o saint_n and_o yet_o do_v nothing_o but_o what_o in_o conscience_n he_o then_o very_o think_v he_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v act_n 26.9.10.11_o and_o i_o cordial_o wish_v they_o will_v be_v please_v serious_o to_o consider_v of_o it_o for_o true_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o vial_n of_o contempt_n from_o heaven_n pour_v upon_o the_o spirit_n that_o too_o frequent_o breathe_v from_o these_o man_n though_o themselves_o may_v otherwise_o in_o the_o root_n be_v sincere_a and_o godly_a alas_o their_o very_a religion_n i_o mean_v of_o the_o presbyterianisme_n be_v a_o poor_a scottish_a and_o humane_a institution_n receive_v but_o a_o humane_a grant_n for_o about_o three_o year_n never_o prosper_v from_o the_o first_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o will_v be_v blast_v at_o the_o last_o and_o no_o marvel_n for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v their_o alpha_n and_o omega_n be_v not_o jehovah_n but_o themselves_o and_o that_o which_o have_v not_o its_o rise_n and_o foundation_n before_o all_o time_n must_v needs_o in_o time_n perish_v but_o take_v a_o true_a constitute_v presbyter_n and_o the_o god_n of_o all_o grace_n forbid_v that_o either_o myself_o or_o any_o profess_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n shall_v have_v the_o least_o rise_v of_o heart_n against_o it_o i_o can_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n desire_n that_o all_o the_o true_a congregational_a church_n both_o in_o city_n and_o kingdom_n be_v not_o so_o defective_a in_o this_o respect_n but_o that_o they_o be_v more_o and_o more_o studious_a and_o diligent_a to_o obtain_v and_o establish_v a_o full_a and_o complete_a presbytery_n in_o all_o their_o several_a church_n that_o so_o all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v dispense_v with_o more_o majesty_n and_o authority_n and_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n that_o come_v from_o forragn_a part_n the_o more_o refresh_v whilst_o they_o behold_v the_o church_n of_o the_o saint_n walk_v in_o the_o complete_a order_n of_o the_o gospel_n object_n 2._o but_o further_a some_o say_v that_o the_o army_n and_o i_o believe_v they_o mean_v this_o parliament_n also_o be_v none_o of_o their_o parent_n nor_o themselves_o their_o child_n answ_n then_o both_o parliament_n and_o army_n have_v less_o to_o care_n for_o and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o the_o more_o merciful_a shall_v cast_v they_o out_o both_o of_o their_o provision_n and_o protection_n and_o proceed_v against_o they_o as_o rebel_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n respect_n neither_o accept_v any_o man_n as_o he_o be_v scotch_a or_o english_a but_o in_o his_o son_n as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n fear_v god_n and_o work_a
