A43934	The history of the most famous and most renowned Janny Geddes		1688 (1688)	Wing H2169A; ESTC R213462	1,717	1

the_o history_n of_o the_o most_o famous_a and_o most_o renown_a janny_n geddes_n when_o janny_n geddes_n well_o do_v mark_v black_a papery_n wrap_v in_o a_o white_a sark_n just_o when_o the_o service_n do_v begin_v the_o belldam_n think_v it_o all_o over_o sin_n then_o up_o she_o take_v her_o fould_a stool_n and_o make_v the_o priest_n look_v like_o a_o fool_n when_o she_o have_v almost_o knock_v he_o down_o which_o make_v proud_a prelate_n fly_v the_o town_n and_o then_o such_o mob_a do_v commence_v as_o prove_v of_o fatal_a consequence_n for_o it_o produce_v that_o dreadful_a cant_n the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n which_o bring_v about_o so_o great_a a_o change_n as_o be_v most_o wonderful_a and_o strange_a so_o when_o a_o scold_a woman_n mad_a be_v she_o be_v call_v ever_o since_o a_o janny_n geddes_n again_o despotic_a power_n commence_v and_o with_o all_o penal_a law_n dispense_n there_o be_v set_v forth_o a_o declaration_n to_o be_v proclaim_v all_o over_o the_o nation_n for_o universal_a toleration_n that_o every_o one_o may_v do_v by_o right_a what_o shall_v seem_v good_a in_o their_o own_o sight_n which_o have_v they_o read_v in_o every_o church_n have_v leave_v their_o priest-craft_n in_o the_o lurch_n seven_o lordly_a prelate_n then_o have_v meet_v at_o lambeth-house_n with_o doleful_a greeting_n contrive_v some_o way_n for_o their_o glory_n like_o sturdy_a whig_n more_o like_a than_o tory_n but_o all_o their_o glory_n be_v that_o they_o petition_v in_o submissive_a way_n to_o be_v excuse_v since_o they_o can_v plead_v it_o no_o priest_n of_o they_o be_v safe_a to_o read_v it_o because_o against_o all_o law_n and_o reason_n and_o may_v be_v make_v a_o sort_n of_o treason_n beside_o to_o give_v they_o all_o their_o due_a it_o be_v against_o their_o interest_n too_o no_o wonder_n then_o they_o do_v abhor_v it_o and_o suffer_v like_o true_a martyr_n for_o it_o but_o when_o absolve_v ●s_a say_v the_o story_n both_o for_o their_o own_o and_o nation_n be_v glory_n it_o do_v unite_v both_o whig_n and_o tory_n which_o bring_v about_o what_o something_o sad_a be_v without_o the_o help_n of_o janny_n geddes_n but_o lo_o those_o prelate_n stand_v in_o awe_n because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n which_o we_o it_o be_v certain_a can_v plead_v since_o law_n ordain_v it_o to_o be_v read_v yet_o we_o though_o lordship_n disavow_v and_o grace_n to_o none_o of_o we_o allow_v and_o though_o no_o lord_n spiritual_a be_v true_a archbishop_n one_o and_o all_o and_o we_o more_z glorious_o than_o they_o in_o spite_n of_o law_n do_v bold_o say_v we_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v obey_v shall_v we_o submit_v to_o laymens_n law_n such_o champion_n for_o the_o good_a old_a cause_n no_o sure_a for_o till_o we_o say_v amen_o they_o will_v find_v such_o law_n be_v all_o in_o vain_a they_o may_v as_o well_o presume_v to_o teach_v our_o presbyter_n to_o pray_v and_o preach_v as_o penal_a law_n to_o make_v we_o read_v it_o set_v the_o luby_n well_o indeed_o christ_n only_a be_v our_o supreme_a head._n but_o though_o christ_n bid_v we_o when_o we_o pray_v no_o vain_a tautology_n to_o say_v and_o do_v direct_a a_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o god_n will_v most_o delight_n to_o hear_v yet_o yet_o cause_v it_o stint_v the_o spirit_n be_v aid_n even_o christ_n himself_o be_v not_o obey_v how_o can_v they_o think_v then_o we_o will_v obey_v either_o to_o read_v or_o preach_v or_o pray_v what_o saucy_a layman_n bid_v we_o say_v no_o form_n of_o word_n that_o can_v be_v make_v scarce_o even_o the_o bible_n must_v be_v read_v in_o presbyterian_a kirk_n we_o say_v because_o it_o be_v the_o prelatic_a way_n and_o even_o the_o creed_n and_o ten_o command_n command_n cause_n use_v in_o proud_a prelatic_a land_n be_v banish_v by_o presbytry_n which_o can_v endure_v morality_n when_o lawful_a power_n make_v lawful_a law_n which_o we_o think_v for_o our_o kirk_n and_o cause_n their_o power_n of_o god_n we_o then_o allow_v it_o but_o otherwise_o we_o disavow_v it_o they_o render_v we_o incapable_a we_o will_v let_v they_o know_v our_o principle_n be_v that_o whoever_o do_v ordain_v it_o it_o be_v sacrilege_n we_o will_v maintain_v it_o for_o by_o late_a law_n of_o presbytrie_n when_o two_o or_o three_o or_o four_o agree_v then_o a_o secession_n we_o can_v make_v both_z from_o the_o kirk_n and_o from_o the_o state_n and_o church_n judicatories_n be_v when_o we_o think_v fit_a whilst_o we_o agree_v and_o shall_v they_o make_v it_o even_o high_a treason_n spite_n of_o all_o law_n and_o sense_n and_o reason_n they_o will_v find_v that_o we_o will_v be_v so_o bold_a our_o benefice_n still_o to_o hold_v for_o though_o all_o power_n by_o god_n appoint_v it_o be_v we_o that_o make_v the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v and_o so_o they_o will_v find_v old_a samuel_n make_v saul_n king_n but_o when_o he_o disobey_v the_o prophet_n make_v the_o king_n to_o bend_v and_o and_o cause_n he_o do_v the_o mantle_n rend_v therefore_o he_o rend_v the_o kingdom_n from_o he_o and_o then_o great_a vengeance_n fall_v upon_o he_o since_o then_o the_o seer_n set_v saul_n aside_o to_o give_v the_o right_n to_o judah_n tribe_n and_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o do_v make_v they_o they_o best_o take_v care_n lest_o we_o forsake_v they_o and_o leave_v they_o as_o the_o prophet_n do_v to_o what_o the_o deil_n put_v in_o their_o head._n we_o scorn_v all_o mitre_n crown_n and_o cope_n yet_o claim_v as_o much_o power_n as_o the_o pope_n and_o can_v proclaim_v whenever_o we_o will_v now_o to_o your_o tent_n o_o israel_n if_o they_o have_v not_o at_o all_o decree_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o read_v it_o we_o may_v have_v read_v it_o if_o we_o will_v but_o no_o compulsion_n ever_o do_v good_a except_o when_o we_o think_v it_o may_v be_v for_o benefit_n of_o presbytrie_n but_o since_o their_o law_n so_o very_o mad_a be_v they_o will_v find_v perhaps_o some_o janny_n
