the_o ripping-up_a of_o sir_n john_n presbyter_n garment_n or_o the_o groundwork_n of_o schism_n lay_v open_a to_o all_o true_a protestant_a reader_n etc._n etc._n reader_n i_o shall_v not_o stop_v your_o desire_n by_o a_o epistle_n but_o fall_v plain_o to_o the_o matter_n which_o i_o hope_v may_v not_o only_o divert_v but_o convert_v thou_o if_o you_o be_v not_o already_o conformable_a for_o know_v those_o foul_a and_o damnable_a presbytical_a practice_n which_o be_v daily_o work_v be_v not_o invisible_a to_o the_o all-seeing_a god_n though_o for_o a_o time_n they_o may_v be_v so_o to_o man_n i_o know_v their_o present_a design_n be_v strengthen_v and_o encourage_v by_o the_o same_o party_n who_o make_v the_o late_a insurrection_n in_o scotland_n they_o think_v and_o stick_v not_o to_o speak_v it_o too_o that_o by_o compulsion_n the_o king_n must_v yield_v to_o their_o demand_n but_o let_v they_o not_o be_v deceive_v for_o howsoever_o in_o scotland_n some_o thought_n themselves_o strong_a enough_o to_o resist_v their_o prince_n yet_o i_o thank_v god_n they_o be_v not_o so_o popular_a here_o but_o the_o king_n law_n and_o authority_n be_v able_a to_o overtake_v they_o and_o assure_v they_o may_v be_v that_o these_o their_o insolent_a opposition_n against_o the_o king_n and_o his_o interest_n will_v make_v their_o faction_n be_v more_o narrow_o look_v into_o for_o certain_o they_o have_v not_o any_o spark_n of_o god_n grace_n nor_o loyalty_n to_o their_o king_n and_o so_o be_v become_v the_o child_n of_o sin_n and_o rebellion_n wherefore_o behold_v their_o proceed_n and_o judge_v they_o according_o you_o may_v perceive_v how_o that_o sect_n since_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o it_o which_o be_v but_o in_o queen_n mary_n reign_n have_v proceed_v from_o evil_a to_o worse_a by_o innumerable_a degree_n at_o first_o they_o do_v only_o manifest_v a_o dislike_n of_o episcopal_a government_n and_o some_o ceremony_n use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o like_v better_o the_o government_n of_o geneva_n which_o be_v desire_v by_o mr._n calvin_n and_o that_o cunning_o enough_o for_o the_o state_n of_o that_o republic_n which_o be_v popular_a can_v not_o brook_v any_o other_o but_o that_o which_o be_v popular_a also_o and_o yet_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o mr._n calvin_n want_v nothing_o of_o a_o bishop_n but_o only_o the_o title_n for_o the_o church_n of_o geneva_n be_v not_o a_o parochial_a but_o diocesan_n church_n consist_v of_o divers_a parish_n which_o make_v up_o one_o great_a presbytery_n and_o he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n be_v moderator_n thereof_o and_o so_o likewise_o mr._n beza_n for_o ten_o year_n after_o the_o other_o death_n hold_v the_o same_o place_n of_o government_n until_o danaeus_n set_v he_o beside_o the_o cushion_n and_o procure_v the_o precedency_n to_o go_v by_o turn_n in_o the_o next_o place_n from_o dislike_n they_o proceed_v to_o contempt_n of_o episcopal_a government_n and_o this_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v st._n cyprian_a have_v be_v the_o very_a beginning_n of_o all_o heresy_n and_o schism_n initia_fw-la haereticorum_fw-la say_v he_o &_o ortus_fw-la

holy_a man_n who_o can_v find_v most_o fault_n from_o disobedience_n they_o do_v proceed_v unto_o schism_n and_o open_a separation_n account_v themselves_o only_a to_o be_v the_o brethren_n and_o congregation_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o other_o who_o be_v not_o of_o their_o faction_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n from_o schism_n they_o proceed_v to_o heresy_n for_o it_o be_v most_o true_a which_o st._n i_o do_v observe_v that_o omne_fw-la schismagignit_fw-la sibi_fw-la haeresin_fw-la every_o schism_n do_v devise_v unto_o itself_o a_o heresy_n some_o false_a doctrine_n

epiphanius_n reckon_v among_o the_o condemn_a heresy_n of_o aerius_n that_o he_o maintain_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o presbyter_n and_o that_o all_o set_v fast_n be_v unlawful_a jewish_a and_o superstitious_a and_o be_v not_o such_o the_o doctrine_n of_o these_o man_n but_o their_o disobedience_n schism_n and_o heresy_n have_v again_o draw_v they_o even_o to_o the_o brink_n of_o rebellion_n where_o the_o hope_n of_o some_o immediate_a proceed_n etc._n etc._n have_v stop_v their_o career_n for_o the_o present_a but_o i_o be_o deceive_v if_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o a_o far_a journey_n to_o go_v and_o that_o they_o no_o ease_n can_v find_v till_o arrive_v at_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o good_a old_a cause_n from_o which_o their_o heart_n now_o differ_v but_o little_a and_o if_o you_o will_v but_o read_v the_o history_n of_o the_o late_a civil_a war_n you_o will_v find_v their_o proceed_n be_v then_o more_o moderate_a than_o now_o they_o be_v this_o be_v the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o they_o who_o outrun_v the_o limit_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o the_o mercy_n of_o their_o most_o clement_a and_o gracious_a king_n shall_v also_o run_v out_o of_o their_o own_o wit_n and_o into_o the_o very_a lake_n of_o perdition_n and_o puritanism_n i_o beseech_v all_o good_a protestant_n in_o time_n to_o consider_v their_o way_n and_o proceed_n and_o how_o they_o endeavour_v to_o cast_v mist_n before_o our_o eye_n whilst_o their_o rebellious_a practice_n run_v to_o the_o point_n they_o so_o earnest_o pray_v for_o i_o protest_v their_o gross_a hypocrisy_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o their_o base_a injurious_a deal_n with_o king_n who_o be_v god_n vicegerent_n here_o on_o earth_n be_v most_o unpardonable_a both_o which_o i_o have_v observe_v by_o their_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n and_o will_v now_o give_v you_o a_o brief_a taste_n of_o both_o as_o for_o their_o doctrine_n we_o know_v they_o will_v if_o they_o dare_v take_v from_o the_o king_n all_o authority_n in_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a and_o will_v not_o allow_v he_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o the_o good_a king_n of_o judah_n and_o the_o godly_a emperor_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v nay_o they_o will_v not_o accept_v or_o allow_v of_o so_o much_o as_o one_o member_n of_o parliament_n recommend_v by_o the_o king_n nor_o his_o majesty_n to_o make_v any_o law_n concern_v matter_n of_o outward_a order_n and_o polity_n nay_o they_o have_v go_v far_o allow_v and_o encourage_v subject_n to_o resist_v their_o prince_n and_o be_v now_o on_o the_o same_o step_n of_o rebellion_n and_o that_o next_o door_n to_o be_v do_v by_o force_n of_o arm_n and_o in_o some_o case_n to_o depose_v he_o nay_o and_o condemn_v he_o as_o a_o tyrant_n and_o though_o the_o godly_a prince_n in_o the_o world_n by_o they_o he_o must_v be_v esteem_v so_o for_o it_o much_o please_v the_o presbyter_n to_o declare_v he_o such_o so_o that_o according_a to_o this_o account_n king_n must_v be_v in_o a_o far_o worse_a case_n under_o presbytery_n than_o ever_o they_o be_v under_o the_o pope_n this_o be_v their_o doctrine_n and_o now_o i_o will_v show_v you_o their_o practice_n first_o those_o of_o the_o same_o fraternity_n in_o scotland_n how_o they_o deal_v with_o king_n james_n they_o persecute_v he_o in_o his_o mother_n womb_n and_o when_o he_o come_v unto_o ripe_a year_n they_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o enjoy_v one_o quiet_a day_n by_o their_o seditious_a practice_n of_o a_o great_a many_o i_o will_v cull_v out_o some_o of_o their_o attempt_n which_o be_v most_o notorious_a first_o when_o the_o ringleader_n of_o that_o faction_n have_v conclude_v the_o state_n of_o bishop_n to_o be_v unlawful_a they_o send_v their_o commissioner_n unto_o the_o king_n command_v he_o and_o his_o council_n under_o pain_n of_o excommunication_n to_o put_v they_o down_o second_o when_o king_n james_n be_v take_v prisoner_n at_o ruthen_n by_o their_o treachery_n intend_v thereby_o to_o enforce_v his_o majesty_n to_o their_o own_o end_n he_o be_v happy_o deliver_v from_o they_o do_v with_o the_o consent_n of_o his_o three_o estate_n in_o parliament_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v a_o treasonable_a fact_n but_o the_o seditious_a
