in_o they_o n._n c._n i_o know_v what_o you_o be_v go_v to_o infer_v but_o they_o will_v not_o yield_v that_o this_o covenant_n be_v unwarrantable_a by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o land_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v not_o repent_v of_o it_o c._n it_o be_v plain_o against_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o those_o reasonable_a and_o good_a law_n from_o whence_o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o will_v have_v we_o obey_v humane_a law_n that_o do_v not_o contradict_v they_o and_o not_o combine_v together_o to_o destroy_v they_o n._n c._n they_o will_v never_o grant_v it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o i_o think_v you_o can_v prove_v it_o c._n do_v they_o not_o covenant_n to_o endeavour_v to_o preserve_v the_o reform_a religion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n n._n c._n yes_o it_o be_v the_o first_o barnch_n of_o the_o covenant_n c._n and_o do_v they_o not_o next_o of_o all_o covenant_n to_o endeavour_v to_o reform_v religion_n in_o these_o kingdom_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n in_o all_o point_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n n._n c._n yes_o c._n then_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o reform_v we_o according_a to_o the_o pattern_n of_o scotland_n for_o that_o church_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o best_a reform_a which_o need_v no_o reformation_n as_o it_o seem_v the_o church_n of_o scotland_n do_v not_o be_v to_o be_v preserve_v by_o they_o just_a as_o it_o be_v n._n c._n what_o of_o all_o this_o c._n then_o i_o will_v prove_v they_o bind_v themselves_o in_o a_o oath_n against_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n for_o our_o law_n make_v the_o king_n supreme_a governor_n over_o all_o person_n and_o in_o all_o cause_n but_o the_o presbyterial_a government_n as_o it_o be_v in_o scotland_n and_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v here_o though_o it_o allow_v the_o king_n to_o be_v supreme_a governor_n over_o all_o person_n as_o they_o be_v his_o subject_n yet_o will_v not_o subject_v all_o cause_n to_o his_o government_n because_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o discipline_n be_v the_o only_a spiritual_a king_n and_o governor_n over_o his_o kirk_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v they_o be_v subject_n only_o to_o christ_n in_o some_o thing_n n._n c._n this_o be_v only_o a_o collection_n which_o you_o make_v from_o several_a thing_n compare_v together_o in_o which_o you_o may_v be_v deceive_v sure_o they_o never_o intend_v to_o set_v up_o such_o a_o government_n here_o c._n that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v leave_v therefore_o to_o my_o uncertain_a reason_n as_o you_o will_v esteem_v they_o in_o this_o particular_a you_o may_v be_v satisfy_v about_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o assembly_n if_o you_o be_v at_o all_o acquaint_v with_o the_o history_n of_o the_o late_a time_n by_o that_o i_o be_o inform_v they_o intend_v to_o bring_v the_o same_o government_n among_o we_o that_o be_v in_o scotland_n and_o second_o they_o think_v the_o parliament_n be_v oblige_v to_o set_v it_o up_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n when_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v prove_v i_o believe_v you_o will_v be_v of_o my_o mind_n that_o they_o take_v a_o oath_n against_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o persist_v in_o it_o but_o repent_v of_o it_o n._n c._n i_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o hear_v they_o prove_v c._n you_o must_v know_v then_o that_o the_o parliament_n declare_v for_o presbyterial_a government_n and_o pass_v most_o of_o the_o particular_n bring_v they_o from_o the_o assembly_n without_o any_o material_a alteration_n save_v the_o point_n of_o commissioner_n as_o they_o tell_v we_o in_o a_o declaration_n of_o april_n 17._o 1646._o n._n c._n what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v not_o set_v up_o c._n have_v patience_n and_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o these_o ugly_a commissioner_n stand_v in_o the_o way_n which_o the_o assembly_n will_v not_o admit_v of_o as_o the_o parliament_n will_v not_o admit_v of_o their_o arbitrary_a government_n n._n c._n why_o do_v you_o call_v it_o so_o c._n the_o title_n of_o the_o declaration_n tell_v you_o that_o the_o intention_n of_o it_o be_v among_o other_o thing_n to_o secure_v the_o people_n against_o all_o arbitrary_a government_n viz._n in_o the_o church_n which_o they_o speak_v of_o before_o but_o that_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o it_o they_o let_v you_o know_v when_o they_o come_v to_o that_o part_n of_o it_o which_o concern_v church-government_n that_o the_o presbytery_n challenge_v a_o arbitrary_a power_n which_o they_o can_v not_o grant_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o will_v have_v set_v up_o ten_o thousand_o judicatory_n within_o the_o kingdom_n which_o shall_v have_v have_v a_o supreme_a authority_n over_o we_o in_o many_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v demand_v in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o they_o proceed_v to_o tell_v we_o as_o be_v not_o consistent_a with_o the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o government_n of_o the_o same_o and_o by_o necessary_a consequence_n exclude_v the_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o jurisdiction_n this_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n as_o they_o far_o inform_v we_o why_o they_o have_v settle_v no_o government_n since_o their_o sit_v because_o they_o can_v not_o subject_v themselves_o and_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n to_o so_o vast_a a_o power_n as_o the_o presbytery_n challenge_v which_o they_o tell_v we_o a_o little_a after_o will_v have_v be_v for_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n to_o part_v with_o some_o of_o his_o power_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n now_o before_o we_o go_v any_o far_a i_o pray_v tell_v i_o who_o be_v the_o supreme_a civil_a magistrate_n then_o but_o the_o king_n and_o how_o will_v you_o excuse_v these_o man_n from_o go_v about_o to_o rob_v he_o of_o a_o part_n of_o his_o power_n and_o wrest_v it_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n n._n c._n sure_o they_o do_v not_o covenant_n to_o do_v this_o c._n we_o shall_v try_v that_o by_o and_o by_o but_o that_o you_o may_v better_o know_v how_o they_o mean_v to_o go_v to_o work_v and_o to_o over_o rule_v the_o supreme_a power_n in_o many_o cause_n you_o must_v understand_v these_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v resolve_v by_o both_o house_n that_o all_o person_n guilty_a of_o notorious_a and_o scandalous_a offence_n shall_v be_v suspend_v from_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o assembly_n likewise_o resolve_v that_o these_o two_o power_n lay_v in_o the_o eldership_n or_o presbytery_n and_o only_o in_o they_o first_o the_o power_n of_o judge_v and_o declure_a what_o be_v such_o notorious_a and_o scandalous_a offence_n for_o which_o person_n guilty_a power_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o any_o long_a to_o hold_v themselves_o bind_v by_o it_o but_o rather_o shall_v repent_v as_o they_o advise_v other_o to_o do_v in_o that_o case_n to_o sum_v up_o the_o whole_a business_n a_o oath_n that_o be_v not_o warrant_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o land_n ought_v to_o be_v repent_v of_o your_o minister_n take_v a_o oath_n not_o warrant_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o land_n but_o contrary_a to_o they_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o repent_v of_o it_o the_o former_a proposition_n be_v their_o own_o the_o latter_a be_v partly_o they_o and_o partly_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n for_o your_o minister_n expound_v the_o covenant_n as_o it_o oblige_v they_o to_o set_v up_o the_o presbytery_n in_o a_o absolute_a power_n and_o the_o commons_o declare_v the_o exercise_n of_o such_o a_o power_n to_o be_v against_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n i_o may_v add_v but_o that_o you_o little_a regard_n that_o his_o majesty_n in_o his_o proclamation_n declare_v it_o a_o unwarrantable_a oath_n october_n 9_o 1643._o and_o therefore_o do_v you_o and_o they_o see_v whether_o the_o conclusion_n do_v not_o unavoidable_o follow_v and_o make_v a_o good_a use_n of_o it_o i_o beseech_v you_o before_o it_o be_v too_o late_o n._n c._n as_o paul_n say_v to_o agrippa_n that_o he_o almost_o persuade_v he_o to_o be_v a_o christian_a so_o i_o must_v say_v to_o you_o that_o you_o almost_o persuade_v i_o to_o be_v a_o conformist_n and_o come_v to_o church_n c._n i_o wish_v as_o s._n paul_n say_v then_o that_o you_o be_v not_o almost_o but_o altogether_o such_o as_o i_o be_o i_o mean_v that_o you_o will_v not_o only_o come_v thither_o but_o with_o such_o reverence_n and_o seriousness_n as_o become_v the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o to_o come_v and_o sit_v or_o ●oll_n or_o look_v about_o or_o whisper_v and_o talk_v as_o many_o do_v
