A19885	A iust complaint against an uniust doer Wherein is declared the miserable slaverie & bondage that the English Church of Amsterdam is now in, by reason of the tirannicall government and corrupt doctrine, of Mr. Iohn Pagett their present minister. The which things are plainly manifested in two certein letters, the one written by Mr. Iohn Davenport to the dutch classis, the other given vp to the English consistorie by some of the brethren. With other briefe passages tending to the same effect. Published by one that much pitties them and prayes dayly for their deliverance.	Davenport, John, 1597-1670.	1634 (1634)	STC 6311; ESTC S119390	15,142	26

live_v some_o year_n in_o this_o country_n and_o have_v hitherto_o oppose_v diverse_a worthy_a man_n that_o have_v come_v immediate_o from_o england_n my_o hope_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o i_o must_v

whereas_o offence_n have_v be_v take_v that_o some_o of_o we_o who_o name_n be_v underwritten_a do_v absent_v ourselves_o from_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o last_o communion_n day_n we_o think_v

of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o we_o have_v sin_v in_o so_o do_v for_o which_o we_o confess_v that_o the_o cause_n thereof_o be_v no_o contempt_n or_o sleight_n account_n of_o the_o lord_n

which_o respect_n we_o be_v the_o more_o deep_o and_o inward_o greeve_v with_o the_o sinful_a proceed_n of_o mr._n john_n paget_n which_o deprive_v we_o of_o so_o great_a a_o comfort_n at_o that_o

of_o this_o church_n that_o howsoever_o mr._n paget_n bear_v the_o name_n fill_v up_o the_o place_n and_o do_v many_o work_n of_o a_o pastor_n among_o we_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o behave_v himself_o

prove_v by_o his_o reject_v and_o oppose_v of_o the_o most_o worthy_a servant_n of_o god_n who_o come_v out_o of_o england_n for_o the_o same_o cause_n he_o do_v who_o the_o church_n with_o one_o

shall_v be_v admit_v but_o we_o must_v be_v force_v to_o take_v one_o that_o can_v speak_v dutch_a and_o one_o in_o this_o country_n though_o the_o lord_n have_v fight_v against_o his_o course_n hitherto_o by_o the_o great_a unfitness_n of_o those_o who_o have_v preach_v here_o by_o his_o nomination_n or_o consent_n in_o send_v for_o second_o mr._n paget_n deprive_v the_o elder_n of_o their_o

second_o when_o the_o elder_n have_v declare_v their_o judgement_n with_o one_o consent_n he_o have_v protest_v against_o it_o and_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o classis_fw-la though_o the_o matter_n

heresy_n and_o schism_n which_o he_o have_v cause_v the_o classis_fw-la to_o execute_v upon_o mr._n hooker_n and_o mr._n davenport_n which_o we_o be_v confident_a they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v but_o by_o mr._n paget_n suggestion_n to_o the_o great_a grief_n and_o hurt_n of_o the_o member_n of_o this_o church_n second_o he_o give_v they_o power_n to_o make_v law_n and_o order_n whereunto_o
