integrity_n have_v so_o learned_a christ_n but_o be_v careful_a to_o make_v conscience_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n lie_v on_o they_o and_o we_o be_v sure_a whatever_o be_v the_o base_a thought_n and_o expression_n of_o back_n slider_v from_o the_o covenant_n it_o want_v not_o many_o to_o own_o it_o in_o these_o kingdom_n who_o be_v call_v thereto_o will_v seal_v the_o same_o with_o their_o blood_n although_o there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o one_o kingdom_n who_o do_v adhere_v to_o the_o covenant_n yet_o thereby_o be_v not_o the_o other_o kingdom_n nor_o any_o person_n in_o either_o of_o they_o absolve_v from_o the_o bond_n thereof_o since_o in_o it_o we_o have_v not_o only_o swear_v by_o the_o lord_n but_o also_o covenant_v with_o he_o it_o be_v not_o the_o fail_n of_o one_o or_o more_o that_o can_v absolve_v other_o from_o their_o duty_n or_o tie_n to_o he_o beside_o the_o duty_n therein_o contain_v be_v in_o themselves_o lawful_a and_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o tie_n thereunto_o moral_a though_o other_o do_v forget_v their_o duty_n yet_o do_v not_o their_o defection_n free_v we_o from_o that_o obligation_n which_o lie_v upon_o we_o by_o the_o covenant_n in_o our_o place_n and_o station_n and_o the_o covenant_n be_v intend_v and_o enter_v into_o by_o these_o kingdom_n as_o one_o of_o the_o best_a mean_n of_o steadfastness_n for_o guard_v against_o decline_a time_n it_o be_v strange_a to_o say_v that_o the_o back_o slide_v of_o any_o shall_v absolve_v other_o from_o the_o tie_n thereof_o especial_o see_v our_o engagement_n therein_o be_v not_o only_o national_a but_o also_o personal_a every_o one_o with_o uplift_a hand_n swear_v by_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n from_o these_o and_o other_o important_a reason_n it_o may_v appear_v that_o all_o these_o kingdom_n join_v together_o to_o abolish_v that_o oath_n by_o law_n yet_o can_v they_o not_o dispense_v therewith_o much_o less_o can_v any_o one_o of_o they_o or_o any_o part_n in_o either_o of_o they_o do_v the_o same_o the_o dispense_n with_o oath_n have_v hitherto_o be_v abhor_v as_o antichristian_a and_o never_o practise_v and_o avow_v by_o any_o but_o by_o that_o man_n of_o sin_n therefore_o those_o who_o take_v the_o same_o upon_o they_o as_o they_o join_v with_o he_o in_o his_o sin_n so_o must_v they_o expect_v to_o partake_v of_o his_o plague_n as_o we_o shall_v ever_o god_n will_v be_v mindful_a of_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o faithful_a that_o adhere_v to_o the_o covenant_n in_o england_n have_v they_o always_o in_o our_o heart_n before_o the_o lord_n so_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v refresh_v with_o their_o singleness_n and_o boldness_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n according_a to_o their_o place_n this_o be_v the_o time_n of_o their_o trial_n and_o the_o hour_n of_o tentation_n among_o they_o blessed_a shall_v they_o be_v who_o shall_v be_v find_v follow_v the_o lamb_n and_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o testimony_n we_o know_v in_o such_o dark_a hour_n many_o be_v draw_v away_o with_o the_o multitude_n when_o the_o lord_n will_v again_o purge_v and_o make_v white_a and_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o such_o be_v in_o england_n who_o the_o bold_a and_o clear_a preach_v of_o christ_n may_v reclaim_v much_o therefore_o lie_v upon_o the_o watchman_n at_o this_o time_n that_o their_o trumpet_n may_v give_v a_o certain_a and_o distinct_a sound_n warning_n and_o exhort_v every_o one_o as_o those_o that_o must_v give_v account_n and_o bless_v shall_v those_o servant_n be_v who_o shall_v be_v find_v faithful_a in_o their_o lord_n house_n distribute_v to_o his_o household_n what_o be_v meet_v for_o this_o season_n and_o can_v say_v they_o be_v free_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o all_o man_n have_v show_v they_o the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n be_v in_o nothing_o terrify_v of_o the_o threat_n of_o their_o adversary_n and_o bless_v and_o happy_a shall_v that_o people_n be_v that_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n hold_v forth_o by_o they_o and_o stay_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o dark_a time_n harken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n of_o his_o word_n and_o not_o in_o the_o spark_n of_o their_o own_o kindle_n which_o will_v end_v in_o sorrow_n how_o inexcusable_a will_v england_n be_v have_v so_o foulie_o revolt_v against_o so_o many_o fair_a testimony_n which_o the_o lord_n christ_n have_v enter_v as_o protestation_n to_o preserve_v his_o right_n in_o these_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n long_o since_o give_v unto_o he_o for_o his_o possession_n and_o of_o late_o confirm_v by_o solemn_a covenant_n christ_n right_a to_o these_o kingdom_n be_v sure_a then_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v plead_v out_o of_o it_o by_o pretend_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o his_o begin_a possession_n be_v more_o precious_a to_o he_o then_o to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o a_o dishonourable_a toleration_n all_o that_o yet_o we_o have_v see_v do_v not_o weaken_v our_o confidence_n of_o the_o lord_n glorify_v the_o house_n of_o his_o glory_n in_o these_o land_n and_o of_o his_o son_n take_v unto_o he_o his_o great_a power_n and_o reign_v in_o the_o beauty_n and_o power_n of_o his_o ordinance_n in_o this_o island_n his_o name_n be_v wonderful_a and_o so_o also_o be_v his_o work_n we_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o square_v they_o according_a to_o our_o line_n but_o leave_v they_o to_o he_o who_o have_v the_o government_n lay_v upon_o his_o shoulder_n all_o who_o way_n be_v judgement_n and_o who_o rule_v these_o kingdom_n have_v never_o yet_o reason_n to_o decline_v it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o be_v steadfast_a in_o our_o duty_n and_o therein_o quiet_o to_o wait_v and_o hope_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o god_n the_o word_n of_o promise_n be_v sure_a and_o have_v a_o appoint_a time_n that_o he_o that_o will_v come_v shall_v come_v and_o will_v not_o tarry_v there_o be_v none_o have_v cause_n to_o distrust_v
