indeed_o that_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o ship-money_n he_o do_v assume_v a_o power_n the_o law_n do_v not_o allow_v he_o but_o it_o be_v the_o only_a instance_n of_o his_o do_v it_o in_o his_o

hardly_o bear_v a_o dispute_n whether_o it_o be_v any_o body_n duty_n to_o make_v themselves_o traitor_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n both_o of_o law_n and_o gospel_n as_o i_o have_v show_v above_o for_o the_o restitution_n of_o he_o that_o subvert_v the_o law_n desert_v the_o government_n and_o i_o doubt_v still_o design_n the_o destruction_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o true_o the_o cause_n and_o

for_o it_o be_v a_o old_a say_v and_o a_o true_a that_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o martyr_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o church_n which_o like_o a_o palmtree_n grow_v fast_o when_o it_o have_v the_o great_a weight_n upon_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a idle_a outcry_n that_o some_o make_v that_o they_o will_v take_v their_o religion_n from_o they_o for_o that_o dwell_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o no_o body_n can_v take_v that_o from_o i_o unless_o i_o please_v but_o although_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o true_a religion_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o savour_v a_o little_a too_o much_o of_o presumption_n for_o any_o body_n to_o undertake_v to_o preserve_v it_o there_o by_o their_o own_o strength_n but_o suppose_v that_o they_o be_v and_o that_o they_o be_v sure_a their_o faith_n shall_v not_o fail_v under_o the_o severe_a trial_n yet_o be_v the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n the_o opportunity_n of_o go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o there_o pour_v out_o our_o prayer_n and_o praise_n before_o he_o with_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v this_o i_o say_v so_o despicable_a a_o blessing_n that_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a keep_n if_o we_o can_v we_o see_v how_o holy_a david_n bemoan_v and_o lament_v his_o banishment_n from_o the_o temple_n and_o how_o he_o belong_v and_o languish_v for_o the_o return_n of_o those_o bless_a privilege_n so_o that_o he_o envy_v the_o very_a bird_n that_o be_v permit_v to_o nest_n near_o the_o altar_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v as_o true_a a_o sense_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n and_o as_o plentiful_a effusion_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o supply_v such_o a_o want_n as_o any_o of_o we_o can_v pretend_v to_o but_o alas_o it_o will_v not_o be_v only_o a_o temporary_a deprivation_n that_o we_o shall_v bewail_v for_o whoever_o now_o shall_v attempt_v to_o bring_v back_o king_n james_n do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o cut_v off_o both_o himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n from_o the_o solemn_a public_a worship_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o and_o although_o i_o know_v god_n can_v support_v under_o any_o condition_n yet_o they_o will_v find_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o those_o suffering_n they_o wilful_o bring_v upon_o themselves_o and_o those_o which_o be_v of_o god_n almighty_n lay_v for_o i_o can_v secure_o rest_v upon_o his_o word_n for_o i_o know_v that_o he_o be_v faithful_a and_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v be_v tempt_v above_o that_o we_o be_v able_a but_o will_v with_o the_o temptation_n make_v a_o way_n to_o escape_v that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o 1_o cor._n 10.13_o but_o if_o we_o will_v not_o escape_v when_o he_o afford_v we_o the_o mean_n what_o promise_n be_v there_o either_o of_o support_n or_o deliverance_n from_o those_o danger_n we_o wilful_o bring_v upon_o ourselves_o and_o it_o will_v certain_o be_v very_o just_a in_o god_n to_o suffer_v we_o fall_v under_o that_o ruin_n we_o have_v court_v in_o which_o i_o doubt_v we_o shall_v have_v very_o little_a comfort_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o suffering_n but_o the_o cause_n that_o make_v the_o martyr_n therefore_o i_o
