for_o tell_v he_o his_o duty_n and_o chide_v all_o the_o rest_n for_o be_v flatterer_n and_o parasite_n thus_o do_v we_o say_v to_o you_o see_v our_o great_a and_o considerate_a prince_n have_v now_o condescend_v to_o call_v this_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n to_o hear_v his_o subject_n grievance_n and_o redress_v the_o enormity_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n either_o cease_v to_o sit_v and_o

weak_a and_o ignorant_a soul_n 2._o concern_v the_o mixture_n of_o papistry_n in_o your_o kingdom_n or_o connive_v at_o the_o impudency_n of_o such_o man_n that_o with_o bell_n priest_n eat_v up_o the_o king_n provision_n and_o make_v he_o believe_v the_o dragon_n do_v it_o 3._o last_o of_o all_o not_o to_o give_v ear_n to_o the_o siren_n incantation_n but_o tie_v yourselves_o close_o to_o the_o mast_n of_o true_a religion_n and_o christian_a policy_n that_o you_o be_v not_o seduce_v and_o bring_v within_o the_o panther_n reach_n who_o sweet_a savour_n and_o perfume_n intoxicate_v many_o innocent_n and_o ignorant_o first_o concern_v non-residents_a formalist_n and_o other_o abuse_n of_o the_o clergy_n if_o it_o please_v you_o to_o remember_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n the_o

it_o can_v not_o serve_v joabs_n turn_n but_o he_o perish_v immediate_o so_o be_v it_o among_o you_o if_o you_o can_v but_o name_v the_o order_n of_o government_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n you_o be_v able_a to_o stop_v any_o disputant_n mouth_n to_o silence_v any_o preacher_n but_o this_o shall_v not_o serve_v your_o turn_n in_o any_o cause_n against_o the_o majesty_n of_o heaven_n but_o the_o sentence_n of_o our_o saviour_n shall_v be_v denounce_v against_o any_o hypocritical_a formalist_n under_o the_o sun_n he_o that_o know_v his_o master_n will_n and_o do_v it_o

wilfulness_n you_o have_v silence_v many_o worthy_a spiritual_a stone_n of_o god_n building_n and_o traduce_v those_o that_o can_v not_o endure_v the_o profane_a mixture_n in_o religion_n with_o the_o term_n of_o heretic_n schismatik_n and_o sectary_n term_n more_o affright_v then_o jew_n turk_n and_o infidel_n for_o their_o misunderstanding_n themselves_o may_v be_v excuse_v ex_fw-la magno_fw-la

of_o malice_n by_o intemperate_a humour_n the_o crime_n of_o heresy_n be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o any_o who_o faith_n do_v whole_o rely_v upon_o the_o sure_a rock_n of_o god_n word_n they_o be_v no_o schismatik_n who_o run_v for_o shelter_v under_o the_o comfortable_a shade_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n such_o as_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o primitive_a church_n describe_v or_o such_o as_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o europe_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o defend_v nor_o be_v they_o to_o be_v repute_v sectary_n which_o embrace_v the_o truth_n always_o one_o and_o itself_o and_o so_o impregnable_a that_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o satan_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o and_o therefore_o right_o honourable_a lord_n we_o do_v here_o exhibit_v a_o petition_n unto_o you_o so_o to_o order_v the_o matter_n that_o neither_o we_o be_v thus_o scandalize_v nor_o any_o servant_n of_o god_n put_v from_o his_o estate_n &_o maintenance_n for_o make_v a_o

we_o beseech_v you_o there_o be_v a_o roman_a dwelling_n in_o the_o great_a city_n named_z ouidius_fw-la pollio_n who_o determine_v to_o invite_v the_o emperor_n to_o supper_n make_v a_o great_a

not_o apply_v but_o leave_v all_o to_o be_v thorough_o search_v and_o discuss_v and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n 1._o the_o one_o for_o that_o we_o be_v confident_a you_o be_v able_a in_o respect_n of_o your_o singular_a knowledge_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o hope_v you_o be_v willing_a in_o respect_n of_o your_o honour_n and_o sincere_a piety_n towards_o religion_n to_o convince_v our_o error_n by_o god_n word_n and_o discover_v our_o wander_n if_o in_o any_o thing_n we_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n 2._o second_o that_o if_o you_o find_v the_o testimony_n &_o confession_n of_o faith_n of_o honest_a religious_a man_n agreeable_a with_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n you_o will_v also_o agree_v either_o to_o convince_v we_o by_o writing_n or_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o live_v without_o obloquy_n or_o infamous_a character_n in_o our_o poor_a and_o despise_a estate_n or_o not_o to_o clog_v our_o conscience_n as_o we_o say_v with_o ceremony_n and_o device_n of_o man_n for_o what_o say_v stephen_n king_n of_o poland_n prince_n may_v command_v the_o body_n and_o life_n of_o their_o subject_n but_o not_o their_o soul_n and_o conscience_n and_o who_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v our_o great_a enemy_n but_o such_o as_o live_v in_o pomp_n state_n glory_n feast_v with_o much_o abundance_n and_o affluencie_n such_o as_o have_v plurality_n of_o benefice_n be_v resident_a at_o
