the_o shame_n of_o our_o nation_n and_o so_o utter_o in_o their_o corrupt_a course_n of_o practice_n inconsistent_a to_o a_o commonwealth_n five_o that_o as_o the_o most_o effectual_a way_n to_o suppress_v and_o remove_v the_o antichristian_a ministry_n who_o have_v be_v such_o ringleader_n in_o this_o late_a rebellion_n and_o so_o consequent_o to_o promote_v and_o propagate_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o new-testament-ministration_n thereof_o first_o we_o claim_v that_o the_o imposition_n of_o that_o jewish_a and_o antichristian_a yoke_n of_o tithe_n be_v remove_v

liberty_n of_o conscience_n unto_o all_o the_o ruler_n forbear_v for_o ever_o to_o impose_v any_o national_a or_o parochial_a ministry_n so_o as_o to_o enforce_v any_o form_n of_o worship_n suit_v to_o their_o interest_n or_o compel_v man_n of_o one_o persuasion_n to_o maintain_v any_o man_n of_o another_o in_o the_o ministry_n or_o to_o lay_v a_o stumbling-block_n in_o the_o way_n of_o unbeliever_n to_o the_o derogation_n of_o christ_n by_o compel_v they_o to_o maintain_v his_o minister_n and_o last_o the_o better_a to_o make_v all_o this_o practicable_a and_o to_o remove_v all_o let_v out_o of_o the_o way_n we_o do_v most_o earnest_o beg_v and_o cry_v aloud_o for_o a_o speedy_a and_o effectual_a apply_v the_o rule_n lay_v down_o by_o the_o late_a ruler_n so_o agreeable_a to_o
