governor_n be_v there_o be_v the_o world_n that_o do_v command_v the_o truth_n of_o religion_n in_o general_a like_o the_o king_n and_o governor_n of_o england_n and_o you_o be_v reformer_n that_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o term_n what_o law_n be_v there_o in_o england_n impose_v upon_o you_o contrary_a to_o god_n law_n consider_v and_o tell_v us._n i_o know_v what_o you_o have_v pretend_v a_o great_a while_n and_o we_o have_v see_v the_o issue_n of_o it_o but_o look_v a_o little_a better_o upon_o the_o matter_n and_o search_v thorough_o if_o you_o find_v any_o contrary_n to_o god_n and_o his_o law_n impose_v upon_o you_o but_o look_v you_o be_v in_o a_o sure_a ground_n obey_v they_o not_o what_o king_n soever_o command_v you_o let_v he_o first_o have_v all_o even_o your_o life_n if_o not_o take_v heed_n suffer_v not_o like_o evil_a doer_n as_o you_o have_v do_v a_o great_a while_n and_o as_o you_o have_v pretend_a reformation_n in_o the_o general_a now_o reform_v yourselves_o in_o particular_a for_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o your_o doctrine_n and_o proceed_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o much_o evil_n you_o have_v be_v the_o breeder_n of_o these_o sect_n you_o have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n and_o other_o build_v their_o building_n stand_v upon_o your_o foundation_n and_o therefore_o you_o be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o deal_v with_o they_o in_o this_o controversy_n than_o one_o be_v able_a to_o deal_v with_o his_o enemy_n when_o he_o have_v yield_v he_o all_o his_o weapon_n for_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o you_o invay_v against_o the_o ceremony_n as_o you_o call_v they_o will_v they_o come_v against_o you_o for_o go_v to_o the_o assembly_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o as_o you_o find_v fault_n with_o they_o for_o want_v of_o a_o eldership_n in_o the_o ordination_n of_o their_o pastor_n they_o defend_v their_o proceed_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o you_o deny_v the_o authority_n of_o your_o presbytery_n at_o home_n and_o you_o will_v also_o have_v the_o church_n of_o the_o same_o fashion_n as_o they_o for_o you_o agree_v with_o they_o that_o none_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o such_o as_o do_v first_o show_v forth_o unto_o you_o the_o fruit_n of_o regeneration_n whereupon_o depend_v their_o separation_n and_o rebaptising_n and_o then_o ought_v not_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v for_o they_o show_v forth_o no_o fruit_n of_o regeneration_n so_o that_o if_o all_o be_v true_a which_o you_o say_v that_o be_v true_a which_o they_o do_v and_o so_o you_o be_v the_o sayer_n and_o they_o the_o doer_n and_o therefore_o you_o

they_o have_v all_o your_o weapon_n therefore_o as_o you_o have_v trouble_v many_o a_o poor_a soul_n with_o your_o doubtful_a doctrine_n under_o pretence_n of_o abstain_v from_o sin_n and_o perform_v of_o holy_a duty_n that_o many_o of_o you_o and_o of_o your_o follower_n differ_v but_o little_a from_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o pharise_n so_o now_o at_o last_o see_v if_o you_o can_v learn_v to_o
