stirling_n 24_o october_n 1650._o antemeridiem_a a_o short_a warn_v from_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o general_n assembly_n concern_v the_o malignant_n now_o in_o arms._n albeit_o the_o design_n and_o carriage_n of_o the_o malignant_a party_n now_o in_o arm_n and_o their_o complice_n be_v in_o themselves_o so_o many_o and_o so_o manifest_o wicked_a as_o may_v render_v they_o odious_a and_o detestable_a unto_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o this_o land_n at_o the_o first_o look_v thereon_o yet_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v we_o thereunto_o we_o hold_v it_o our_o duty_n as_o heretofore_o to_o give_v warn_v thereof_o both_o for_o the_o reclaim_v of_o these_o who_o be_v already_o ensnare_v therein_o and_o for_o the_o guard_n of_o other_o against_o temptation_n thereunto_o we_o need_v not_o be_v at_o much_o pain_n in_o find_v out_o of_o these_o man_n intention_n nor_o go_v far_o off_o for_o learn_v of_o the_o end_n which_o they_o propose_v unto_o themselves_o in_o their_o present_a act_n these_o be_v no_o other_o than_o have_v be_v promote_v by_o the_o malignant_a party_n from_o the_o beginning_n to_o wit_n the_o set_n up_o of_o themselves_o under_o a_o pretence_n of_o promote_a royal_a authority_n and_o kingly_a interest_n that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o bear_v down_o these_o who_o have_v be_v instrumental_a in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o at_o last_o destroy_v the_o work_n itself_o a_o design_n which_o have_v be_v to_o be_v abhor_v in_o any_o but_o much_o more_o in_o these_o man_n who_o be_v so_o solemn_o tie_v before_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o oath_n of_o the_o covenant_n unto_o the_o contrary_a and_o against_o who_o former_a malignant_a way_n and_o backslydings_a the_o lord_n hand_n have_v be_v lift_v up_o so_o high_a unto_o the_o break_n of_o the_o pride_n of_o their_o power_n often_o than_o once_o and_o who_o have_v so_o late_o be_v offer_v and_o profess_v before_o the_o church_n of_o god_n their_o repentance_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v convince_v in_o their_o conscience_n of_o the_o sinfulness_n and_o unlawfulness_n of_o the_o same_o and_o who_o stand_v under_o the_o tie_n of_o so_o many_o promise_n &_o subscription_n both_o to_o the_o state_n &_o church_n to_o the_o contrary_a several_a of_o the_o most_o eninent_a among_o they_o do_v by_o these_o their_o late_a action_n stand_v now_o proclaim_v before_o the_o world_n &_o under_o their_o own_o hand_n infamous_a &_o perfidious_a covenant_n breaker_n and_o it_o do_v much_o heighten_v their_o iniquity_n that_o they_o have_v conspire_v together_o against_o god_n people_n in_o such_o a_o time_n when_o there_o be_v also_o another_o enemy_n in_o the_o land_n design_v mischief_n against_o religion_n and_o government_n we_o may_v say_v we_o be_v bring_v low_o but_o we_o hope_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v prevent_v we_o with_o his_o mercy_n and_o require_v it_o at_o their_o hand_n if_o there_o be_v any_o place_n leave_v for_o exhortation_n we_o wurn_v these_o man_n to_o consider_v how_o the_o wrath_n &_o vengeance_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v pursue_v the_o malignant_a party_n in_o all_o these_o kingdom_n these_o many_o year_n past_a and_o how_o many_o time_n their_o own_o design_n have_v be_v blast_v and_o themselves_o bring_v nigh_o unto_o destruction_n and_o to_o remember_v what_o a_o severe_a avenger_n the_o lord_n be_v of_o covenant-breaking_a and_o of_o the_o open_a mock_v of_o his_o name_n by_o fall_v foul_o again_o into_o these_o sin_n which_o once_o have_v be_v confess_v &_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v repent_v of_o and_o what_o a_o foul_a stayn_v it_o be_v upon_o their_o conscience_n and_o credit_n to_o go_v contrary_a to_o so_o many_o late_a profession_n and_o violate_v so_o many_o band_n and_o obligation_n take_v upon_o themselves_o for_o avoid_v all_o malignant_a way_n and_o not_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o how_o monstrous_a and_o unnatural_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o have_v rise_v against_o their_o country_n and_o the_o public_a authority_n of_o the_o land_n when_o they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o prevayl_v enemy_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v wisdom_n for_o these_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n to_o walk_v with_o malignant_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o band_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o take_v good_a heed_n of_o trust_v and_o take_v in_o such_o as_o have_v be_v opposite_a to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n so_o many_o experience_n teach_v the_o unsoundness_n of_o most_o of_o these_o from_o year_n to_o year_n which_o also_o may_v teach_v all_o these_o who_o have_v recover_v themselves_o out_o of_o such_o snare_n to_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o be_v not_o again_o involve_v therein_o but_o that_o as_o they_o have_v profess_v their_o repentance_n for_o their_o accession_n to_o any_o malignant_a courss_n so_o they_o may_v labour_v to_o get_v their_o heart_n establish_v through_o grace_n that_o they_o fall_v not_o back_o with_o other_o into_o the_o same_o sinne._n and_o we_o exhort_v the_o whole_a land_n to_o beware_v of_o compliance_n with_o these_o son_n of_o beliall_a either_o by_o join_v with_o they_o in_o arm_n or_o concur_v in_o counsel_n and_o design_n or_o by_o assist_v they_o with_o man_n or_o money_n or_o provision_n or_o by_o correspond_v with_o they_o or_o countenance_v of_o they_o or_o connive_v at_o their_o wicked_a way_n as_o they_o will_v not_o draw_v gild_n upon_o themselves_o before_o the_o lord_n and_o prove_v treacherous_a and_o unsteadfast_a in_o his_o covenant_n and_o cause_n the_o strait_n and_o suffering_n of_o his_o people_n be_v indeed_o at_o this_o time_n many_o and_o great_a but_o it_o be_v better_a to_o suffer_v the_o hard_a of_o affliction_n than_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n by_o comply_v with_o a_o evil_a courss_n and_o we_o be_v confident_a that_o unto_o those_o who_o keep_v their_o steadfastness_n god_n shall_v open_v a_o door_n of_o hope_n and_o make_v a_o day_n of_o salvation_n to_o appear_v therefore_o let_v all_o man_n in_o the_o strength_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v their_o duty_n against_o enemy_n on_o both_o hand_n and_o the_o lord_n shall_v
