be_v at_o and_o if_o ever_o you_o shall_v be_v drive_v which_o god_n forbid_v to_o make_v your_o peace_n it_o will_v cost_v you_o twenty_o time_n as_o much_o then_o to_o procure_v your_o peace_n and_o such_o a_o peace_n it_o may_v be_v that_o will_v be_v rather_o a_o war_n than_o a_o peace_n and_o a_o death_n better_o than_o that_o peace_n which_o now_o you_o may_v have_v for_o a_o very_a little_a a_o most_o happy_a peace_n there_o be_v a_o famous_a story_n of_o zelimus_n emperor_n of_o constantinople_n that_o after_o he_o have_v take_v egypt_n he_o find_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o treasure_n

have_v take_v their_o riches_n o_o say_v he_o hang_v they_o all_o up_o for_o they_o be_v too_o rich_a to_o be_v make_v slave_n and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o thanks_o they_o have_v for_o the_o riches_n

think_v that_o if_o the_o lord_n for_o our_o sin_n shall_v give_v up_o this_o city_n unto_o the_o army_n that_o be_v with_o the_o king_n you_o may_v think_v that_o you_o shall_v escape_v yet_o be_v

great_a deal_n of_o good_a already_o for_o indeed_o you_o be_v the_o preserver_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o you_o be_v the_o preserver_n of_o our_o parliament_n by_o your_o liberality_n and_o by_o

and_o now_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o sheet_n anchor_n we_o be_v now_o come_v to_o the_o last_o cast_v i_o beseech_v you_o you_o will_v persevere_v and_o hold_v out_o and_o o_o that_o my_o word_n may_v add_v somewhat_o to_o help_v forward_o this_o contribution_n it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o make_v i_o a_o settle_a ministry_n in_o this_o city_n and_o i_o have_v now_o be_v here_o almost_o

peace_n that_o may_v bring_v a_o massacre_n with_o it_o a_o french_a peace_n if_o you_o will_v have_v such_o a_o peace_n it_o may_v be_v have_v easy_o but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v a_o peace_n that_o

be_o confident_a that_o such_o a_o peace_n can_v be_v have_v without_o contribution_n towards_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o the_o scot_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o the_o promote_n of_o this_o

be_v so_o intwine_v and_o indeed_o so_o interlace_v that_o religion_n and_o this_o cause_n they_o be_v like_o hypocrates_n his_o twin_n they_o must_v live_v and_o die_v together_o and_o gentleman_n if_o religion_n be_v not_o concern_v in_o this_o cause_n and_o mighty_o concern_v and_o if_o religion_n do_v not_o live_v and_o die_v with_o it_o we_o have_v not_o appear_v this_o day_n and_o i_o hope_v this_o will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n unto_o this_o objection_n but_o there_o be_v another_o objection_n which_o i_o will_v answer_v and_o then_o brief_o give_v leave_v to_o my_o other_o
