not_o be_v ashamed_a nor_o unwilling_a to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o our_o come_n for_o we_o come_v to_o be_v make_v manifest_a open_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o man_n in_o our_o doctrine_n principle_n and_o practice_n which_o be_v of_o and_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o full_o agree_v in_o all_o thing_n with_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n which_o be_v give_v forth_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n as_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n be_v move_v and_o as_o we_o have_v say_v to_o you_o we_o still_o testify_v we_o be_v move_v of_o god_n and_o by_o his_o spirit_n to_o come_v unto_o this_o place_n in_o love_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o people_n and_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n god_n that_o have_v send_v we_o and_o not_o man_n and_o whether_o you_o believe_v we_o herein_o or_o do_v reject_v we_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n be_v sure_a and_o remain_v with_o we_o and_o for_o the_o truth_n hereof_o we_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o do_v and_o suffer_v but_o can_v do_v and_o suffer_v in_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n whatsoever_o be_v put_v upon_o we_o though_o chief_o our_o come_n be_v so_o far_o as_o the_o lord_n show_v we_o in_o relation_n to_o these_o popish_a idolater_n to_o discourse_v with_o their_o jesuit_n friar_n and_o priest_n and_o to_o discover_v to_o they_o the_o error_n of_o their_o way_n and_o the_o falseness_n of_o their_o worship_n and_o to_o testify_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o fear_n and_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n concerning_o their_o church_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n but_o a_o false_a church_n come_v up_o in_o the_o apostasy_n and_o these_o thing_n we_o have_v to_o argue_v with_o they_o if_o the_o head_n of_o they_o will_v admit_v dispute_n otherwise_o to_o charge_v these_o thing_n upon_o they_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n and_o if_o they_o do_v any_o of_o they_o receive_v our_o testimony_n and_o turn_v from_o their_o idol_n and_o be_v convert_v unto_o the_o truth_n they_o may_v be_v happy_a but_o if_o they_o shall_v reject_v our_o testimony_n and_o not_o believe_v the_o truth_n then_o shall_v they_o the_o more_o be_v fit_v for_o destruction_n and_o the_o day_n of_o their_o destruction_n the_o soon_o approach_v and_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v clear_a of_o their_o blood_n and_o our_o reward_n shall_v be_v with_o we_o from_o god_n for_o our_o testimony_n shall_v not_o return_v to_o we_o in_o vain_a but_o shall_v accomplish_v its_o end_n wherefore_o it_o be_v send_v and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o we_o shall_v either_o convert_v to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v or_o shall_v through_o reject_v of_o it_o hard_o the_o heart_n against_o god_n and_o against_o the_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o just_o be_v condemn_v and_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o servant_n be_v the_o more_o clear_a and_o no_o other_o thing_n save_v this_o do_v we_o promise_v to_o ourselves_o as_o the_o success_n of_o our_o endeavour_n and_o not_o so_o much_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o man_n of_o our_o english_a nation_n be_v we_o come_v though_o the_o gospel_n of_o salvation_n be_v free_o come_v to_o they_o also_o that_o they_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o captivity_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o we_o may_v not_o work_v nor_o cause_v any_o disturbance_n or_o grief_n to_o any_o of_o they_o further_o than_o what_o they_o may_v take_v at_o we_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n or_o for_o declare_v it_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o without_o any_o just_a cause_n give_v by_o we_o to_o any_o of_o you_o or_o they_o though_o we_o dare_v not_o promise_v to_o you_o nor_o ourselves_o what_o we_o will_v do_v nor_o what_o we_o will_v not_o do_v only_o this_o we_o say_v if_o the_o transgression_n of_o any_o just_a law_n can_v be_v charge_v upon_o we_o we_o refuse_v not_o to_o suffer_v what_o shall_v be_v impose_v and_o this_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v so_o keep_v we_o and_o order_v we_o by_o his_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o carry_v we_o in_o meekness_n and_o righteousness_n towards_o you_o while_o we_o stay_v among_o you_o be_v it_o week_n or_o month_n that_o you_o will_v have_v no_o just_a occasion_n against_o we_o by_o any_o offence_n just_o minister_v by_o we_o and_o if_o you_o do_v take_v occasion_n against_o we_o without_o any_o just_a cause_n give_v be_v it_o upon_o yourselves_o to_o your_o own_o shame_n and_o condemnation_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n for_o we_o be_v clear_a only_o this_o we_o do_v give_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o can_v unto_o man_n the_o exercise_n of_o our_o conscience_n and_o to_o be_v obedient_a unto_o the_o teach_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o all_o thing_n as_o he_o shall_v guide_v and_o lead_v we_o and_o if_o he_o command_v to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n and_o you_o the_o contrary_a we_o must_v obey_v he_o though_o we_o disobey_v you_o for_o its_o better_a to_o obey_v god_n then_o man_n and_o when_o he_o bid_v speak_v in_o what_o place_n or_o season_n soever_o we_o may_v not_o be_v silent_a for_o to_o keep_v our_o conscience_n clear_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n by_o obedience_n to_o he_o be_v our_o care_n and_o study_v and_o that_o which_o we_o be_v give_v up_o to_o do_v and_o if_o you_o set_v yourselves_o to_o gainsay_v this_o it_o will_v turn_v to_o your_o own_o destruction_n for_o no_o other_o promise_n then_o this_o can_v we_o make_v for_o ourselves_o but_o to_o do_v and_o speak_v among_o you_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v move_v we_o and_o lead_v we_o and_o this_o testemony_n we_o do_v bear_v for_o the_o lord_n he_o do_v not_o move_v we_o nor_o lead_v we_o to_o any_o thing_n save_v to_o what_o be_v just_a and_o good_a and_o holy_a which_o may_v tend_v to_o the_o happiness_n and_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o body_n also_o and_o in_o the_o father_n will_v we_o stand_v and_o as_o we_o come_v in_o his_o will_n so_o we_o can_v submit_v to_o stay_v or_o go_v at_o any_o man_n will_v save_v the_o lord_n alone_o and_o as_o concerning_o our_o come_n and_o stay_v and_o work_v here_o this_o be_v a_o sober_a

in_o your_o own_o conscience_n shall_v be_v judge_n between_o we_o in_o this_o cause_n and_o upon_o such_o a_o issue_n upon_o a_o just_a determination_n will_v we_o glad_o join_v trial_n and_o such_o
