with_o never_o a_o one_o of_o they_o they_o be_v now_o at_o last_o only_o name_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n and_o follow_v in_o the_o chapter_n now_o to_o come_v the_o first_o whereof_o they_o take_v from_o the_o example_n of_o other_o the_o second_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o not_o doint_v what_o they_o desire_v the_o three_o be_v from_o the_o covenant_n the_o two_o first_o we_o have_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n the_o last_o in_o chapter_n ten_o to_o which_o i_o come_v in_o their_o order_n chap._n ix_o of_o the_o pattern_n to_o follow_v their_o disorderly_a proceed_n still_o like_o themselves_o as_o in_o the_o former_a chapter_n they_o entitle_v it_o of_o three_o motive_n and_o yet_o meddle_v with_o never_o a_o one_o so_o this_o chapter_n they_o give_v the_o title_n of_o one_o motive_n only_o namely_o of_o the_o pattern_n and_o yet_o handle_v two_o the_o pattern_n for_o do_v and_o the_o danger_n of_o not_o do_v what_o they_o will_v have_v do_v first_o then_o of_o the_o pattern_n wherein_o 1._o they_o tell_v we_o that_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n have_v do_v it_o 2._o they_o press_v we_o with_o the_o example_n of_o the_o scot_n to_o the_o first_o we_o answer_v that_o their_o allegation_n be_v not_o true_a but_o they_o name_v some_o church_n that_o have_v do_v it_o yet_o many_o more_o may_v be_v name_v which_o have_v not_o do_v it_o 2._o for_o the_o scot_n we_o be_v neither_o bound_n to_o follow_v their_o example_n nor_o any_o other_o further_o than_o they_o have_v do_v well_o nor_o so_o far_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o do_v well_o also_o in_o follow_v for_o it_o will_v not_o always_o hold_v that_o what_o be_v or_o have_v be_v do_v well_o by_o some_o in_o some_o place_n can_v be_v do_v well_o by_o all_o other_o in_o other_o place_n i_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o censure_v other_o man_n and_o their_o action_n but_o will_v rather_o proceed_v to_o their_o next_o motive_n only_o i_o must_v touch_v one_o thing_n in_o a_o word_n which_o here_o they_o say_v namely_o they_o seem_v to_o hope_v for_o the_o bring_v back_o of_o the_o king_n which_o through_o the_o infinite_a mercy_n of_o god_n bless_v be_v his_o n●me_n for_o it_o for_o ever_o we_o see_v now_o effect_v if_o they_o desire_v the_o king_n return_v before_o or_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o now_o it_o be_v do_v let_v they_o express_v so_o much_o in_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v a_o king_n now_o he_o be_v return_v and_o not_o force_n or_o appoint_v he_o how_o to_o govern_v that_o church_n which_o god_n as_o to_o a_o nurse_n father_n have_v commit_v to_o his_o charge_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o motive_n the_o danger_n of_o not_o do_v what_o they_o demand_v to_o be_v do_v which_o danger_n they_o propound_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o in_o a_o twofold_a respect_n a_o priori_fw-la and_o a_o posteriori_fw-la from_o what_o be_v past_a and_o what_o be_v like_a to_o ensue_v the_o former_a they_o say_v be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o in_o way_n of_o prophecy_n or_o in_o a_o way_n of_o performance_n concern_v the_o former_a they_o tell_v we_o how_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n have_v prophesy_v of_o the_o increase_n of_o popery_n and_o the_o suffering_n of_o true_a religion_n by_o many_o revolt_n in_o time_n of_o trial_n now_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o this_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v they_o be_v the_o common_a prayer_n and_o the_o bishop_n one_o uphold_v the_o other_o which_o late_a clause_n i_o have_v already_o refute_v where_o they_o first_o mention_v it_o in_o their_o preface_n whether_o i_o refer_v the_o reader_n and_o for_o the_o former_a part_n feign_v the_o bishop_n and_o book_n to_o be_v ground_n of_o the_o increase_n of_o popery_n who_o see_v not_o the_o quite_o contrary_a that_o rather_o rebel_n and_o schismatics_n have_v do_v it_o popery_n have_v get_v more_o strength_n and_o our_o church_n more_o shame_n and_o slander_n in_o these_o late_a time_n they_o have_v bear_v the_o sway_n than_o all_o the_o time_n since_o the_o reformation_n before_o so_o that_o as_o it_o be_v a_o godly_a prayer_n set_v forth_o to_o be_v use_v upon_o the_o five_o of_o november_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o be_v use_v that_o upon_o that_o horrible_a treason_n of_o the_o papist_n through_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n so_o happy_o discover_v god_n will_v strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o our_o gracious_a king_n the_o nobles_z and_o magistrate_n of_o the_o land_n with_o judgement_n and_o justice_n to_o cut_v off_o those_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n so_o we_o have_v as_o much_o cause_n to_o pray_v against_o these_o detestable_a sect_n and_o murderer_n of_o king_n and_o all_o subject_n which_o most_o strange_o oppose_v their_o damnable_a and_o devilish_a proceed_n the_o cause_n of_o all_o which_o do_n whether_o it_o be_v the_o bishop_n and_o book_n as_o these_o man_n will_v have_v it_o or_o the_o rebellious_a mind_n of_o the_o enemy_n thereto_o it_o be_v needless_a now_o to_o say_v and_o whether_o the_o chief_a want_n of_o a_o through_o reformation_n be_v not_o suffer_v such_o spirit_n rather_o than_o suffer_v the_o bishop_n and_o the_o book_n to_o remain_v these_o late_a time_n have_v show_v wherein_o the_o two_o late_a book_n and_o bishop_n have_v be_v all_o the_o while_n in_o a_o total_a eclipse_n and_o the_o former_a rebel_n and_o schismatic_n shine_v in_o full_a and_o unlimited_a power_n and_o lustre_n next_o for_o future_a danger_n they_o allege_v zions_n plea_n again_o against_o which_o we_o must_v also_o again_o oppose_v the_o answer_n thereto_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o this_o chapter_n after_o much_o vain_a and_o idle_a rail_v according_a to_o their_o custom_n they_o come_v to_o particular_a danger_n to_o those_o to_o who_o they_o write_v their_o book_n if_o they_o obey_v they_o in_o a_o extirpation_n of_o the_o true_a pretend_a enemy_n wherein_o they_o bring_v no_o new_a argument_n but_o use_v a_o flourish_a exhortation_n to_o perform_v the_o work_n they_o will_v have_v do_v all_o which_o exhortation_n be_v ground_v only_o upon_o the_o suppose_a unlawfulness_n of_o the_o book_n prove_v as_o they_o think_v by_o their_o undeniable_a argument_n as_o they_o call_v they_o all_o those_o argument_n have_v be_v sufficient_o answer_v and_o so_o no_o proof_n of_o any_o unlawfulness_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o book_n remain_v good_a this_o brave_a exhortation_n fall_v of_o itself_o so_o that_o the_o three_o motive_n only_o be_v leave_v chap._n x._o of_o the_o covenant_n concern_v the_o covenant_n in_o general_n we_o need_v say_v but_o this_o 1._o as_o they_o move_v man_n to_o break_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o canonical_a obedience_n by_o say_v though_o most_o wicked_o and_o false_o that_o they_o be_v unlawful_a oath_n and_o so_o better_o break_v then_o keep_v that_o may_v we_o true_o say_v to_o they_o concern_v the_o covenant_n and_o so_o their_o mouth_n ought_v to_o be_v stop_v and_o for_o the_o unlawfulness_n of_o that_o so_o unjust_o and_o tyrannical_o impose_v covenant_n that_o it_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a may_v easy_o and_o clear_o appear_v in_o these_o two_o respect_n 1._o in_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o forbid_v by_o our_o dread_a sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n then_o be_v 2._o by_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o in_o itself_o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n without_o any_o question_n or_o dispute_v that_o it_o be_v simple_o unlawful_a for_o any_o subject_n though_o never_o so_o many_o and_o powerful_a to_o make_v any_o solemn_a league_n or_o covenant_n concern_v any_o innovation_n or_o alteration_n in_o government_n to_o be_v make_v by_o they_o without_o the_o king_n consent_n much_o more_o than_o when_o his_o majesty_n have_v not_o only_o give_v no_o consent_n but_o also_o declare_v absolute_o against_o it_o and_o peremptory_o forbid_v it_o as_o we_o all_o know_v the_o king_n do_v while_o the_o covenant_n be_v in_o hand_n second_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o if_o any_o one_o particular_a in_o it_o be_v simple_o unlawful_a the_o covenant_n be_v thereby_o unlawful_a now_o the_o extirpation_n of_o the_o church-government_n by_o archbishop_n and_o bishop_n in_o our_o kingdom_n where_o the_o gospel_n have_v so_o long_o and_o so_o abundant_o flourish_v under_o it_o the_o kingdom_n with_o it_o and_o by_o it_o which_o government_n also_o have_v be_v even_o in_o the_o church_n of_o
