unto_o the_o death_n that_o we_o may_v do_v his_o will_n and_o wrong_v no_o man_n in_o our_o generation_n but_o seek_v the_o good_a and_o peace_n of_o all_o man_n and_o he_o that_o have_v command_v

for_o nor_o against_o they_o and_o this_o be_v both_o our_o principle_n and_o practice_n and_o have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n so_o that_o if_o we_o suffer_v as_o suspect_v to_o take_v up_o arm_n or_o make_v war_n against_o any_o it_o be_v without_o any_o ground_n from_o we_o for_o it_o neither_o be_v nor_o ever_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n since_o we_o own_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n neither_o shall_v we_o ever_o do_v it_o because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n his_o doctrine_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o his_o apostle_n even_o contrary_a to_o he_o for_o who_o we_o suffer_v all_o thing_n and_o endure_v all_o thing_n and_o whereas_o man_n come_v against_o we_o with_o club_n staff_n draw_v sword_n pistol_n cock_v and_o do_v beat_v cut_v and_o abuse_v we_o yet_o we_o never_o resist_v they_o but_o to_o they_o our_o hair_n back_n and_o cheek_n have_v be_v ready_a but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o honour_n to_o manhood_n nor_o nobility_n to_o run_v upon_o harmless_a people_n who_o lift_v not_o up_o a_o hand_n against_o they_o with_o arm_n and_o weapon_n therefore_o consider_v these_o thing_n you_o man_n of_o understanding_n for_o plotter_n raiser_n of_o insurrection_n tumultuous_a one_o and_o fighter_n run_v with_o sword_n club_n staff_n and_o pistol_n one_o against_o another_o we_o say_v these_o be_v of_o the_o world_n and_o have_v their_o

plot_n and_o our_o sword_n be_v break_v into_o ploughshare_n and_o spear_n into_o prune_v hook_n as_o prophesy_v of_o in_o micah_n 4._o therefore_o we_o can_v learn_v war_n any_o more_o neither_o rise_v up_o against_o nation_n or_o kingdom_n with_o outward_a weapon_n though_o you_o have_v number_v we_o among_o the_o transgressor_n and_n plotter_n the_o lord_n know_v our_o innocency_n herein_o
