A84893	Light vanquishing darknesse. Or a vindication of some truths formerly declared, from those aspersions which have been (by reason of some misapprehensions) cast upon them; now published for the satisfaction and benefit of others. With a preambular epistle to all sorts of men. As also a parcell of good counsell, if you can take it. / By Captain Francis Freeman, a late member of the army.

scotland_n both_o kirke_n and_o state_n which_o i_o know_v they_o must_v be_v overcome_v for_o that_o interest_n can_v never_o be_v set_v up_o again_o neither_o in_o england_n scotland_n nor_o

their_o great_a power_n which_o will_v he_o do_v by_o take_v away_o tithe_n and_o not_o compel_v any_o to_o maintain_v they_o but_o those_o that_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v their_o minister_n let_v they_o maintain_v they_o and_o let_v such_o as_o be_v under_o gospel-dispensation_n be_v free_v from_o the_o slavery_n and_o bondage_n of_o legal_a administration_n and_o this_o be_v good_a counsel_n if_o you_o can_v take_v it_o but_o here_o i_o shall_v meet_v with_o a_o objection_n by_o the_o way_n you_o will_v ask_v i_o especial_o you_o that_o have_v impropriation_n what_o will_v become_v of_o you_o and_o your_o family_n if_o tithe_n go_v down_o you_o or_o your_o predecessor_n lay_v out_o all_o the_o stock_n you_o have_v to_o purchase_v a_o impropriation_n and_o you_o have_v

your_o money_n too_o and_o those_o that_o never_o purchase_v shall_v they_o have_v it_o for_o nothing_o i_o answer_v no_o every_o man_n shall_v purchase_v the_o ten_o of_o his_o own_o possession_n of_o the_o state_n and_o shall_v pay_v to_o the_o utmost_a value_n of_o it_o according_a to_o so_o many_o year_n purchase_v viz._n every_o delinquent_n fourteen_o year_n purchase_n every_o neuter_n

come_v in_o with_o very_o little_a labour_n and_o cost_n and_o must_v i_o leave_v this_o good_a bargain_n yea_o i_o tell_v thou_o thou_o must_v leave_v it_o and_o if_o thou_o have_v thy_o money_n it_o cost_v thou_o have_v no_o wrong_n at_o all_o and_o if_o so_o be_v thou_o do_v purchase_v i_o to_o be_v thy_o slave_n in_o the_o time_n of_o ignorance_n as_o to_o have_v the_o ten_o of_o my_o labour_n and_o not_o only_o of_o i_o but_o of_o all_o my_o family_n beside_o the_o ten_o of_o my_o stock_n and_o the_o ten_o of_o all_o my_o increase_n yet_o this_o i_o know_v that_o the_o bargain_n have_v be_v make_v void_a ever_o since_o the_o late_a king_n head_n be_v take_v off_o although_o we_o have_v be_v keep_v in_o this_o slavery_n and_o bondage_n many_o hundred_o year_n by_o a_o arbitrary_a

hell_n be_v against_o you_o for_o god_n will_v own_v you_o and_o he_o have_v raise_v up_o a_o gallant_a army_n to_o back_o you_o in_o all_o your_o just_a undertake_n against_o the_o violence_n of_o man_n this_o be_v good_a council_n if_o you_o can_v take_v it_o but_o if_o so_o be_v you_o slight_a and_o neglect_v it_o god_n will_v find_v out_o a_o deliverance_n for_o his_o people_n as_o once_o he_o do_v for_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n who_o be_v hold_v in_o sore_a servitude_n and_o slavery_n eight_o year_n under_o cushan-rishathaim_a king_n of_o mesopotamia_n judg._n 3_o yet_o the_o lord_n find_v out_o a_o diliverer_n even_o among_o themselves_o othniel_n slay_v the_o king_n of_o mesopotamia_n and_o so_o set_v the_o people_n at_o liberty_n and_o here_o you_o may_v see_v a_o parallel_n to_o this_o in_o our_o late_a king_n who_o can_v not_o be_v content_v to_o govern_v his_o kingdom_n according_a to_o law_n and_o justice_n but_o must_v usurp_v a_o power_n to_o himself_o over_o both_o people_n and_o law_n contrary_a to_o his_o oath_n and_o so_o become_v a_o tyrant_n exercise_v dominion_n over_o the_o people_n according_a to_o his_o arbitrary_a will_n take_v upon_o himself_o god_n own_o peculiar_a and_o sit_v in_o his_o throne_n exercise_v his_o kingly_a power_n by_o monopoly_n and_o patent_n contrary_a to_o his_o law_n and_o impose_v great_a burden_n and_o tax_n upon_o the_o people_n as_o by_o ship-money_n coat_n and_o conduct-money_n etc._n etc._n insomuch_o that_o the_o burden_n be_v grievous_a insupportable_a and_o the_o people_n hold_v in_o bondage_n and_o slavery_n and_o labour_v to_o keep_v they_o so_o strengthen_v himself_o by_o his_o wicked_a council_n and_o raise_v up_o a_o wicked_a army_n to_o destroy_v his_o good_a council_n yet_o the_o lord_n find_v a_o way_n of_o deliverance_n for_o his_o people_n from_o that_o slavery_n and_o bondage_n wherein_o they_o be_v hold_v hence_o i_o draw_v this_o conclusion_n that_o he_o that_o have_v a_o limit_v power_n ought_v not_o to_o exercise_v dominion_n but_o god_n power_n be_v only_o arbitrary_a he_o govern_v according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n therefore_o not_o to_o be_v limit_v but_o man_n power_n be_v derive_v from_o god_n power_n and_o have_v its_o limit_n and_o bound_n set_v now_o if_o so_o be_v man_n come_v to_o break_v these_o bound_n and_o come_v to_o exercise_v dominion_n than_o he_o derogat_n from_o that_o power_n which_o be_v give_v and_o attribute_n to_o himself_o that_o power_n which_o be_v not_o give_v and_o so_o come_v to_o be_v a_o rebel_n and_o a_o traitor_n against_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v palpable_o see_v in_o the_o late_a king_n and_o that_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v in_o isa_n 1.23_o thy_o prince_n be_v rebellious_a and_o companion_n of_o thief_n every_o one_o love_v gift_n and_o follow_v after_o reward_n they_o judge_v not_o the_o fatherless_a neither_o do_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o widow_n come_v unto_o they_o and_o be_v not_o the_o late_a king_n a_o companion_n of_o thief_n and_o robber_n plunderer_n in_o the_o best_a sense_n and_o what_o complaint_n do_v he_o hear_v at_o any_o time_n that_o be_v bring_v before_o he_o therefore_o say_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n of_o host_n the_o mighty_a god_n of_o israel_n ah_o i_o will_v ease_v i_o of_o my_o adversary_n and_o avenge_v i_o of_o my_o enemy_n verse_n 24._o and_o i_o
