man_n of_o sense_n can_v think_v they_o can_v buy_v clothes_n to_o keep_v their_o body_n from_o perish_v while_o they_o serve_v their_o king_n and_o country_n and_o bread_n to_o keep_v their_o

i_o may_v defy_v all_o history_n to_o show_v where_o any_o nation_n jew_n turk_n or_o heathen_n ever_o do_v exercise_n great_a extortion_n than_o have_v be_v exercise_v on_o the_o seman_n pay_n and_o

in_o the_o next_o spring_n they_o take_v off_o many_o of_o those_o r_n but_o instead_o of_o give_v the_o poor_a seaman_n bounty-money_n in_o the_o spring_n as_o they_o use_v to_o have_v before_o

they_o beat_v the_o french_a from_o some_o of_o which_o i_o wish_v they_o ever_o get_v clear_a and_o therefore_o as_o they_o have_v suffer_v so_o much_o since_o they_o beat_v the_o french_a and_o prevent_v the_o french_n have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o ruin_v the_o nation_n and_o clergy_n of_o england_n and_o bring_v in_o their_o popish_a idolatrous_a mass_n and_o cruel_a bloody_a persecution_n and_o therefore_o those_o clergyman_n that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o those_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n may_v do_v well_o to_o show_v they_o whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o sin_n now_o in_o this_o age_n as_o oppression_n and_o extortion_n and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o then_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o one_o part_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n lay_v aside_o although_o our_o bless_a

than_o it_o be_v the_o nation_n be_v duty_n to_o relieve_v they_o by_o justice_n and_o mercy_n and_o to_o punish_v the_o extortioner_n and_o if_o ever_o these_o nation_n will_v pretend_v to_o

be_v to_o make_v our_o ear_n to_o tingle_v and_o if_o the_o clergy_n will_v not_o speak_v a_o word_n for_o to_o help_v forward_o this_o i_o will_v in_o love_n and_o friendship_n speak_v a_o word_n in_o humbleness_n to_o help_v forward_o their_o reformation_n and_o for_o the_o first_o that_o i_o may_v keep_v up_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o ministry_n i_o will_v say_v we_o have_v as_o sober_a

the_o honour_n of_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n in_o england_n but_o i_o will_v have_v it_o observe_v also_o that_o as_o it_o be_v in_o israel_n god_n only_a church_n and_o people_n in_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o be_v as_o good_a figgs_n very_o good_a and_o some_o figgs_n stark_v naught_o and_o good_a for_o nothing_o except_o to_o make_v a_o stink_n as_o the_o prophet_n plain_o say_v that_o from_o the_o priest_n of_o israel_n profaneness_n be_v go_v forth_o in_o all_o the_o land_n and_o this_o i_o will_v say_v that_o if_o ever_o there_o be_v any_o true_a reformation_n in_o england_n there_o must_v be_v a_o reformation_n of_o the_o minister_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o people_n and_o without_o there_o be_v a_o reformation_n the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n and_o th●_n wh●le_a word_n of_o god_n from_o genesis_n to_o the_o revelation_n will_v show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v expect_v ruine_v judgement_n for_o the_o scripture_n such_o righteousness_n exalt_v a_o nation_n but_o sin_n be_v a_o ruin_n to_o any_o people_n and_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o prophesy_v jew_n that_o except_o they_o do_v
