to_o pray_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n to_o come_v we_o be_v not_o to_o limit_v it_o to_o this_o that_o christ_n may_v come_v to_o rule_v in_o we_o only_o but_o that-he_v may_v rule_v as_o a_o king_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o his_o choose_a neither_o ought_v we_o alone_o to_o acknowledge_v praise_n but_o we_o ought_v to_o desire_v that_o praise_n to_o god_n may_v be_v acknowledge_v by_o other_o also_o and_o that_o they_o may_v grant_v the_o kingdom_n and_o power_n and_o glory_n to_o be_v his_o not_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o king_n only_o to_o rule_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o also_o that_o he_o may_v rule_v and_o govern_v the_o action_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n in_o his_o outward_a worship_n as_o we_o be_v command_v to_o glorify_v god_n with_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o be_v he_o 1_o cor._n 6._o 20._o now_o if_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v god_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o it_o be_v in_o spiritual_a worship_n for_o in_o all_o civil_a thing_n it_o have_v be_v acknowledge_v already_o that_o both_o body_n and_o life_n be_v our_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n in_o who_o land_n we_o dwell_v now_o if_o there_o be_v any_o form_n of_o prayer_n for_o man_n to_o bind_v themselves_o unto_o it_o will_v have_v be_v show_v either_o in_o this_o scripture_n or_o in_o some_o other_o which_o thing_n you_o have_v not_o yet_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o this_o form_n of_o word_n be_v plain_a by_o another_o evangelist_n which_o do_v not_o use_v the_o same_o word_n but_o add_v some_o and_o leave_v out_o other_o some_o and_o also_o the_o whole_a form_n of_o thanksgiving_n be_v leave_v out_o by_o luke_n luke_n 11._o 2._o 3._o 4._o compare_v with_o matth._n 6._o 9_o and_o to_o seek_v the_o help_n of_o any_o book_n but_o the_o bible_n to_o teach_v man_n to_o pray_v be_v to_o disable_v god_n which_o have_v promise_v to_o give_v believer_n his_o spirit_n whereby_o they_o

upon_o we_o as_o though_o we_o shall_v affirm_v that_o christian_a prince_n and_o magistrate_n who_o be_v defender_n of_o the_o faith_n have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v in_o and_o about_o the_o church_n then_o heathen_a prince_n this_o be_v not_o true_a for_o we_o know_v that_o christian_a prince_n and_o magistrate_n ought_v to_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n church_n and_o so_o be_v they_o may_v be_v officer_n in_o the_o church_n and_o if_o they_o be_v defender_n of_o the_o faith_n they_o be_v such_o as_o defend_v the_o pure_a worship_n of_o god_n manifest_v in_o his_o word_n as_o also_o the_o true_a professor_n thereof_o and_o that_o against_o all_o tyrannical_a power_n that_o shall_v attempt_v to_o suppress_v either_o it_o or_o they_o as_o the_o good_a king_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n do_v by_o slay_v the_o servant_n and_o prophet_n of_o baal_n who_o have_v slay_v the_o lord_n people_n but_o heathen_a king_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n before_o they_o know_v christ_n and_o then_o they_o become_v christian_a king_n therefore_o to_o vent_v upon_o all_o occasion_n such_o principle_n as_o you_o see_v we_o hold_v and_o maintain_v be_v not_o as_o you_o say_v dangerous_a and_o insufferable_a neither_o be_v the_o people_n but_o you_o say_v further_o that_o the_o people_n for_o a_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v heady_a and_o refractory_a and_o proud_a and_o bitter_a and_o scornful_a and_o despiser_n of_o authority_n and_o that_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v public_a prayer_n to_o be_v pray_v but_o that_o by_o their_o

england_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o it_o be_v very_o like_a to_o be_v so_o because_o they_o be_v there_o at_o the_o time_n of_o your_o service_n for_o neither_o the_o separate_v nor_o semiseparate_v as_o you_o call_v they_o use_v to_o be_v there_o at_o the_o time_n of_o your_o service_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v and_o these_o professor_n you_o have_v also_o call_v

that_o the_o mind_n of_o multitude_n of_o the_o professor_n in_o england_n and_o especial_o in_o this_o city_n be_v upon_o all_o occasion_n very_o apt_a to_o fall_v to_o any_o way_n in_o doctrine_n or_o discipline_n that_o be_v not_o common_o receive_v by_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o tell_v you_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o blame_v any_o for_o withstand_v any_o thing_n in_o god_n worship_n which_o be_v not_o ground_v in_o his_o word_n neither_o if_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o worship_n there_o tender_v be_v the_o invention_n of_o man_n ought_v any_o of_o they_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o oppose_v such_o a_o worship_n because_o it_o be_v according_a to_o their_o protestation_n yet_o i_o justify_v none_o that_o will_v oppose_v disorderly_a as_o either_o by_o cast_v up_o of_o hat_n or_o threaten_v the_o minister_n or_o any_o the_o like_a unseemly_a behaviour_n for_o i_o judge_v it_o better_o for_o they_o to_o depart_v in_o peace_n if_o they_o have_v not_o faith_n in_o the_o action_n perform_v but_o methinks_v mr._n edward_n you_o have_v foul_o miss_v it_o in_o that_o you_o have_v thus_o vilify_v your_o brethren_n to_o call_v they_o by_o the_o name_n of_o those_o mocker_n which_o paul_n testify_v shall_v come_v in_o the_o last_o time_n that_o shall_v be_v heady_a and_o high_a mind_v and_o proud_a boaster_n and_o despiser_n of_o authority_n for_o such_o as_o these_o have_v not_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n and_o by_o this_o you_o make_v your_o church_n a_o foul_a church_n and_o defile_v shrewd_o your_o own_o nest_n and_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o all_o man_n that_o you_o live_v in_o a_o cage_n of_o unclean_a bird_n and_o therefore_o you_o be_v command_v from_o such_o to_o turn_v aside_o *_o 5._o if_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v in_o your_o heart_n moreover_o you_o say_v you_o fear_v they_o will_v not_o tolerate_v the_o government_n establish_v by_o the_o ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a law_n and_o you_o will_v feign_v father_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o your_o fear_n upon_o separate_v and_o independency_n whereas_o you_o can_v be_v so_o ignorant_a but_o that_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o government_n establish_v by_o law_n may_v stand_v without_o the_o leave_n of_o separate_v for_o they_o have_v neither_o power_n to_o give_v toleration_n nor_o to_o prohibit_v toleration_n for_o or_o against_o any_o thing_n but_o you_o say_v you_o will_v rather_o pray_v against_o toleration_n than_o prophecy_n of_o the_o woeful_a effe●ts_n of_o it_o i_o answer_v if_o you_o can_v make_v such_o a_o prayer_n in_o a_o time_n acceptable_a then_o sometime_o such_o prayer_n will_v be_v accept_v which_o be_v not_o ground_v upon_o god_n word_n but_o of_o the_o woeful_a effect_n of_o toleration_n you_o have_v prophesy_v already_o in_o that_o you_o say_v they_o will_v withstand_v your_o doctrine_n and_o your_o due_n *_o 13._o and_o that_o will_v be_v a_o woeful_a effect_n indeed_o when_o you_o shall_v be_v drive_v to_o cry_v out_o alas_o alas_o that_o great_a city_n babylon_n for_o in_o one_o hour_n be_v so_o great_a wealth_n come_v to_o desolation_n thus_o much_o for_o your_o seven_o reason_n in_o your_o eight_o reason_n you_o affirm_v that_o these_o independent_a man_n where_o they_o have_v power_n as_o in_o new-england_n will_v not_o tolerate_v any_o church_n or_o government_n but_o in_o their_o own_o way_n in_o use_v the_o word_n thief_z you_o carry_v the_o matter_n so_o dark_o that_o i_o know_v not_o who_o you_o mean_v for_o you_o have_v name_v none_o but_o you_o seem_v to_o say_v they_o be_v man_n that_o have_v power_n in_o new_a england_n i_o answer_v indeed_o it_o may_v happen_v to_o be_v so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o man_n there_o that_o take_v upon_o they_o authority_n to_o bind_v man_n conscience_n

you_o so_o void_a of_o true_a piety_n towards_o that_o honourable_a house_n or_o judge_v you_o that_o house_n so_o void_a of_o common_a reason_n be_v as_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o very_a eye_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n the_o ear_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n and_o the_o tongue_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n yea_o the_o hand_n and_o power_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n be_v so_o as_o i_o conceive_v in_o my_o simplicity_n will_v you_o have_v they_o i_o say_v to_o be_v blind_a of_o one_o eye_n and_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o petition_n and_o complaint_n of_o some_o of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n and_o not_o upon_o all_o will_v you_o have_v they_o so_o partial_a will_v you_o have_v they_o also_o deaf_a of_o one_o ●are_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o harken_v to_o the_o cry_n and_o petition_n and_o complaint_n of_o all_o the_o king_n subject_n one_o as_o well_o as_o another_o will_v you_o have_v they_o also_o so_o defective_a in_o their_o tongue_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v for_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n nay_o see_v they_o be_v call_v god_n *_o 6._o will_v you_o have_v their_o hand_n so_o shorten_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o once_o stretch_v they_o forth_o to_o support_v and_o help_v the_o poor_a afflict_a member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o indeed_o you_o will_v have_v they_o very_o unlike_a unto_o moses_n even_o as_o unlike_o as_o yourselves_o be_v unto_o aaron_n will_v you_o have_v this_o house_n to_o exercise_v their_o power_n upon_o person_n before_o they_o have_v make_v due_a trial_n of_o the_o cause_n by_o hear_v witness_n speak_v on_o both_o side_n true_o mr._n edward_n if_o you_o will_v as_o it_o appear_v plain_a it_o be_v your_o mind_n than_o i_o will_v submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o both_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n whether_o you_o be_v not_o a_o man_n void_a of_o common_a reason_n for_o he_o be_v a_o fool_n that_o judge_v a_o matter_n before_o he_o know_v it_o and_o you_o be_v not_o only_o void_a of_o reason_n yourself_o but_o you_o will_v have_v the_o parliament_n to_o be_v like_o you_o for_o if_o the_o parliament_n shall_v judge_v a_o man_n before_o they_o hear_v his_o cause_n they_o will_v be_v like_o the_o court_n at_o lambeth_n which_o be_v use_v to_o sit_v in_o the_o high_a priest_n hall_n judgeing_a matter_n without_o due_a trial_n further_o you_o say_v you_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o will_v never_o be_v say_v of_o this_o parliament_n that_o they_o open_v a_o door_n for_o toleration_n for_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o i_o conceive_v they_o may_v receive_v a_o petition_n and_o yet_o not_o open_v a_o door_n for_o toleration_n i_o mean_v for_o such_o a_o toleration_n as_o you_o here_o speak_v of_o for_o set_v up_o church_n against_o church_n for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o toleration_n that_o we_o plead_v for_o but_o your_o evil_a conclusion_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v pray_v if_o you_o will_v that_o that_o door_n may_v be_v keep_v shut_v and_o we_o will_v pray_v also_o that_o all_o door_n may_v be_v keep_v shut_v that_o will_v let_v any_o evil_n into_o the_o kingdom_n in_o process_n of_o time_n lest_o that_o any_o succeed_a generation_n shall_v have_v cause_n to_o write_v in_o their_o chronicle_n of_o this_o parliament_n as_o it_o be_v write_v of_o naaman_n the_o syrian_a that_o be_v as_o you_o say_v it_o will_v be_v say_v of_o they_o but_o they_o grant_v a_o toleration_n moreover_o we_o desire_v nothing_o at_o their_o hand_n that_o may_v cast_v a_o dark_a shadow_n upon_o their_o glorious_a light_n but_o that_o which_o we_o desire_v be_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n to_o practise_v god_n true_a worship_n in_o the_o land_n wherein_o we_o be_v bear_v which_o will_v be_v no_o blemish_n to_o any_o christian_a magistrate_n to_o grant_v nor_o for_o any_o counsel_n of_o state_n to_o establish_v and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v conclude_v this_o your_o discourse_n against_o independency_n and_o against_o toleration_n before_o you_o have_v offer_v it_o to_o the_o trial_n before_o some_o lawful_a committee_n choose_v by_o the_o parliament_n to_o hear_v both_o you_o and_o they_o and_o then_o if_o you_o can_v have_v maintain_v your_o church_n of_o england_n which_o you_o plead_v for_o with_o your_o synod_n and_o

parliament_n to_o have_v cast_v out_o their_o petition_n but_o till_o than_o you_o may_v lay_v your_o hand_n upon_o your_o mouth_n and_o never_o for_o shame_n affirm_v that_o the_o grant_n of_o toleration_n unto_o we_o to_o worship_v god_n without_o molestation_n will_v be_v set_v up_o church_n against_o church_n neither_o ought_v you_o to_o have_v conclude_v against_o they_o before_o you_o have_v prove_v their_o way_n of_o worship_n to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o not_o to_o have_v foot_v in_o his_o word_n as_o you_o have_v not_o for_o except_v you_o have_v do_v this_o you_o have_v small_a cause_n to_o rejoice_v in_o your_o thought_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o account_n that_o you_o be_v to_o give_v about_o this_o controversy_n for_o your_o controversy_n can_v be_v conceive_v at_o the_o best_a to_o be_v but_o the_o controversy_n that_o paul_n have_v when_o he_o go_v unto_o damascus_n which_o be_v a_o controversy_n against_o christ_n *_o 5._o though_o christ_n in_o his_o rich_a grace_n pardon_v he_o when_o he_o have_v smite_v he_o down_o and_o drive_v he_o out_o of_o himself_o and_o make_v he_o to_o confess_v that_o he_o know_v not_o christ_n in_o these_o word_n where_o he_o say_v lord_n who_o art_n thou_o and_o further_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o know_v not_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n by_o ask_v he_o with_o these_o word_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o doe_n thus_o you_o may_v see_v though_o the_o controversy_n be_v against_o christ_n yet_o paul_n be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n the_o father_n by_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n and_o endue_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o make_v he_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o all_o his_o human_a learning_n can_v not_o do_v and_o paul_n may_v have_v boast_v that_o he_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n against_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n as_o you_o boast_v that_o you_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o god_n spirit_n against_o the_o way_n of_o separation_n but_o that_o will_v not_o have_v justify_v paul_n much_o less_o shall_v it_o justify_v you_o for_o paul_n do_v that_o he_o do_v out_o of_o a_o zeal_n to_o maintain_v the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o you_o be_v to_o maintain_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n even_o the_o law_n of_o satan_n paul_n persecute_v those_o that_o he_o do_v conceive_v to_o be_v evil_a but_o you_o persecute_v those_o that_o you_o acknowledge_v good_a man_n and_o such_o as_o have_v be_v active_a and_o famous_a for_o god_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v no_o need_n to_o boast_v of_o the_o spirit_n enable_v you_o all_o along_o and_o that_o above_o your_o own_o strength_n as_o you_o declare_v for_o it_o may_v plain_o appear_v unto_o all_o man_n of_o understanding_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a spirit_n of_o delusion_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v just_o expect_v censure_n and_o reproach_n as_o you_o say_v you_o do_v because_o your_o way_n in_o this_o action_n be_v not_o please_v to_o god_n but_o for_o my_o part_n instead_o of_o censure_v you_o i_o will_v rather_o reprove_v you_o and_o admonish_v you_o rather_o than_o reproach_v you_o and_o pray_v that_o god_n may_v turn_v you_o and_o if_o god_n will_v be_v please_v to_o give_v you_o that_o reward_n of_o your_o labour_n which_o he_o give_v unto_o paul_n even_o to_o strike_v you_o down_o and_o to_o make_v you_o to_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o learn_v to_o
