A89562	A copy of a letter written by Mr. Stephen Marshall to a friend of his in the city, for the necessary vindication of himself and his ministry, against that altogether groundlesse, most unjust, and ungodly aspersion cast upon him by certaine malignants in the city, and lately printed at Oxford, in their Mendacium Aulicum, otherwise called Mercurius Aulicus, and sent abroad into other nations to his perpetuall infamy. In which letter the accusation is fully answered. And together with that, the lawfulnesse of the Parliaments taking up defensive arms is briefly and learnedly asserted and demonstrated, texts of Scripture cleared, all objections to the contrary answered, to the full satisfaction of all those that desire to have their consciences informed in this great controversie.; Plea for defensive arms.	Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655.	1643 (1643)	Wing M750; Thomason E102_10; ESTC R21572	25,726	33

for_o love_n or_o money_n whereas_o when_o the_o scot_n be_v proclaim_v rebel_n and_o traitor_n it_o must_v speedy_o be_v publish_v in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o must_v acknowledge_v this_o make_v i_o to_o think_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o be_v jealous_a of_o great_a danger_n but_o when_o his_o majesty_n return_v from_o scotland_n discharge_v the_o

i_o must_v have_v shut_v my_o eye_n if_o i_o have_v not_o see_v danger_n and_o thousand_o of_o thousand_o will_v have_v think_v he_o parliament_n altogether_o senseless_a if_o they_o have_v not_o

in_o that_o manner_n as_o they_o think_v necessary_a for_o security_n they_o vote_v the_o put_n of_o it_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o person_n who_o they_o think_v the_o state_n may_v confide_v in_o

that_o it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a to_o have_v the_o militia_n and_o navy_n in_o safe_a hand_n which_o his_o majesty_n also_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o refuse_v to_o settle_v it_o for_o a_o
