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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

touch_v the_o manner_n of_o our_o discourse_n the_o ground_n of_o my_o argument_n lie_v thus_o that_o he_o that_o have_v faith_n he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o he_o so_o that_o faith_n be_v christ_n manifest_v in_o he_o and_o he_o be_v christ_n though_o not_o essential_o yet_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o spiritual_a oneness_n with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o john_n 17._o so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o separation_n nor_o division_n betwixt_o the_o head_n and_o member_n in_o regard_n of_o that_o spiritual_a union_n and_o oneness_n and_o as_o there_o be_v that_o spiritual_a union_n and_o oneness_n that_o can_v admit_v of_o any_o separation_n or_o division_n so_o i_o shall_v handle_v the_o branch_n thereof_o issue_v or_o flow_v from_o they_o as_o stream_n from_o a_o fountain_n both_o joint_o and_o several_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o near_a relation_n and_o conjunction_n betwixt_o the_o head_n and_o member_n but_o first_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o relative_a union_n and_o there_o be_v a_o real_a union_n which_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o under_o a_o twofold_a consideration_n yet_o comparative_o in_o my_o apprehension_n they_o be_v both_o as_o one_o 1._o this_o relative_a union_n be_v as_o the_o husband_n and_o wise_a christ_n and_o his_o church_n and_o this_o real_a union_n be_v as_o the_o tree_n and_o branch_n and_o if_o so_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o that_o tree_n be_v cut_v off_o it_o be_v no_o long_o a_o branch_n of_o that_o tree_n be_v disunite_v although_o it_o retain_v the_o same_o quality_n for_o a_o while_n in_o regard_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n yet_o it_o soon_o wither_v and_o die_v although_o the_o body_n live_v and_o grow_v now_o this_o relative_a union_n with_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n be_v such_o a_o union_n that_o they_o be_v so_o inseparable_o unite_v and_o knit_v together_o with_o that_o spiritual_a bond_n of_o love_n and_o amity_n that_o can_v never_o be_v break_v for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o vine_n and_o you_o be_v the_o branch_n and_o if_o so_o b_o e_z a_o member_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o that_o vine_n be_v cut_v off_o by_o a_o corporal_a or_o temporal_a death_n yet_o the_o spirit_n retain_v its_o first_o principle_n and_o return_n to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o and_o spritual_o it_o continue_v and_o remain_v a_o branch_n of_o that_o royal_a stock_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o neither_o life_n nor_o death_n nor_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n so_o that_o here_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v that_o spiritual_a union_n and_o oneness_n not_o that_o the_o body_n be_v the_o head_n or_o the_o head_n the_o body_n but_o that_o all_o the_o member_n as_o branch_n make_v up_o but_o one_o body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o they_o be_v a_o perfect_a body_n in_o christ_n so_o

our_o righteousness_n so_o that_o every_o particular_a member_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o this_o name_n as_o you_o may_v gather_v by_o this_o scripture_n follow_v which_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v a_o confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n see_v 1_o cor._n 11.3_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o head_n of_o every_o man_n be_v christ_n so_o that_o every_o particular_a member_n be_v christ_n not_o

see_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 6.17_o that_o he_o that_o be_v jayn_v unto_o the_o lord_n be_v one_o spirit_n now_o if_o so_o be_v i_o have_v say_v that_o i_o have_v be_v the_o christ_n then_o certain_o

all_o those_o law_n which_o come_v in_o by_o the_o norman-conquest_n and_o have_v continue_v ever_o since_o successive_o by_o king_n and_o consequent_o by_o tyrant_n till_o the_o late_a king_n head_n

whole_o take_v away_o and_o wholesome_a law_n prescribe_v in_o the_o room_n that_o the_o people_n may_v no_o long_o lie_v under_o that_o yoke_n which_o be_v a_o intolerable_a burden_n for_o many_o family_n have_v be_v utter_o undo_v by_o long_a and_o wearisome_a journey_n and_o by_o their_o vast_a expense_n of_o money_n in_o their_o long_a and_o tedious_a suit_n and_o by_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o lawyer_n which_o corruption_n will_v never_o be_v take_v away_o unless_o the_o law_n be_v whole_o take_v away_o both_o root_n and_o branch_n and_o if_o so_o be_v you_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o mend_v these_o law_n and_o have_v they_o translate_v into_o the_o english_a tongue_n and_o divide_v the_o nation_n into_o several_a province_n to_o avoid_v tediousness_n of_o travel_v yet_o the_o same_o law_n be_v put_v in_o execution_n though_o they_o be_v translate_v as_o aforesaid_a the_o corruption_n will_v still_o rmeain_v and_o the_o people_n will_v still_o lie_v under_o the_o yoke_n therefore_o my_o counsel_n be_v that_o you_o will_v whole_o take_v away_o all_o the_o law_n in_o one_o day_n and_o give_v we_o such_o wholesome_a law_n the_o next_o that_o may_v stand_v most_o

of_o tithe_n may_v be_v whole_o take_v away_o that_o those_o who_o go_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o minister_n may_v live_v on_o gospel_n maintenance_n and_o not_o by_o law_n see_v it_o be_v a_o
