part_n of_o this_o last_o querie_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o former_a for_o here_o you_o speak_v as_o if_o to_o slight_v the_o independent_o be_v a_o sure_a way_n to_o obtain_v favour_n and_o applause_n from_o popish_a cavalier_n true_o you_o flatter_v yourself_o if_o you_o think_v your_o subtle_a deal_n herein_o be_v not_o see_v when_o as_o it_o be_v so_o notorious_o know_v that_o any_o man_n who_o speak_v against_o independent_o may_v be_v scorn_v but_o never_o applaud_v by_o popish_a or_o any_o that_o be_v cavalier_n for_o they_o applaud_v the_o independent_o who_o they_o hold_v to_o be_v more_o subtle_a and_o powerful_a to_o effect_v the_o thing_n they_o chief_o aim_v at_o and_o desire_v then_o themselves_o and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v and_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o they_o will_v run_v and_o go_v to_o do_v any_o malignant_a a_o favour_n yea_o they_o will_v join_v with_o the_o wicked_a cavalier_n against_o a_o presbyterian_a to_o do_v he_o a_o mischief_n but_o have_v clear_v this_o truth_n in_o my_o reply_n to_o your_o first_o querie_n i_o hasten_v to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o this_o where_o you_o start_v the_o question_n whether_o the_o favour_n i_o receive_v be_v not_o by_o my_o courtly_a compliance_n with_o papist_n prefer_v they_o before_o protestant_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o my_o constant_a perseverance_n in_o hold_v forth_o the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n where_o ever_o i_o live_v at_o home_o and_o beyond_o the_o sea_n be_v sufficient_o know_v to_o all_o the_o godly_a faithful_a orthodox_n christian_n that_o inhabit_v in_o any_o of_o those_o part_n where_o i_o have_v dwell_v and_o so_o far_o have_v i_o ever_o be_v from_o any_o courtly_a comply_v with_o papist_n or_o prefer_v they_o before_o protestant_n as_o some_o in_o england_n at_o this_o day_n can_v testify_v that_o when_o i_o live_v in_o foreign_a nation_n my_o zeal_n be_v so_o great_a for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n that_o with_o no_o little_a hazard_n i_o have_v maintain_v it_o for_o all_o the_o while_o i_o travailde_v abroad_o and_o continue_v in_o popish_a country_n which_o be_v many_o year_n it_o fare_v with_o i_o as_o with_o the_o apostle_n paul_n while_o he_o wait_v at_o athens_n act._n 17._o 16_o 17._o my_o spirit_n be_v stir_v in_o i_o when_o i_o see_v the_o city_n and_o all_o the_o country_n whole_o give_v to_o idolatry_n therefore_o carry_v my_o life_n in_o my_o hand_n i_o daily_o dispute_v with_o papist_n and_o those_o they_o account_v the_o devout_a person_n priest_n and_o jesuit_n against_o popery_n maintain_v the_o protestant_a religion_n insomuch_o as_o it_o be_v only_o the_o goodness_n of_o my_o god_n that_o keep_v i_o safe_a give_v they_o no_o power_n to_o hurt_v i_o further_o i_o answer_v you_o the_o book_n that_o i_o have_v write_v against_o popery_n in_o latin_a and_o in_o english_a be_v yet_o extant_a and_o they_o do_v witness_n and_o will_n to_o future_a generation_n that_o the_o author_n of_o they_o dispute_v against_o and_o disclaim_v popery_n and_o earnest_o content_v for_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v once_o deliver_v unto_o the_o saint_n jud._n vers_fw-la 3._o yea_o the_o many_o disputation_n i_o have_v hold_v with_o priest_n jesuit_n and_o people_n popish_o affect_v in_o england_n not_o only_o while_o i_o enjoy_v my_o liberty_n but_o also_o when_o by_o the_o prelatical_a popish_a party_n i_o be_v for_o maintain_v the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n and_o stand_v for_o the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o my_o country_n cast_v into_o several_a prison_n viz._n in_o the_o gatehouse_n at_o westminster_n in_o the_o castle_n of_o launceston_n in_o cornwall_n in_o the_o castle_n in_o the_o isle_n of_o silly_a in_o the_o goal_n of_o leicester_n in_o the_o goal_n in_o the_o city_n of_o york_n in_o hemsley-castle_n in_o yorkshire_n last_o in_o knasebrough-castle_n in_o yorkshire_n yet_o through_o god_n support_v grace_n in_o none_o of_o all_o these_o prison_n can_v the_o cruelty_n pride_n and_o fury_n of_o man_n which_o in_o york_n and_o silly_a be_v my_o daily_a portion_n either_o make_v i_o forget_v my_o integrity_n or_o daunt_v i_o in_o the_o least_o for_o their_o rage_n and_o power_n i_o fear_v not_o neither_o do_v i_o ever_o forbear_v to_o justify_v godly_a protestant_n nor_o decline_v any_o opportunity_n to_o dispute_v with_o papist_n but_o improve_v it_o to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o show_v the_o great_a idolatry_n and_o vanity_n of_o their_o religion_n as_o many_o who_o be_v prisoner_n with_o i_o in_o some_o of_o the_o forenamed_a place_n can_v testify_v and_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o the_o popish_a cavalier_n with_o who_o i_o have_v be_v a_o prisoner_n and_o other_o of_o they_o that_o have_v discourse_v and_o reason_v with_o i_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n will_v give_v this_o testimony_n that_o they_o ever_o find_v i_o constant_a to_o my_o principle_n unmoveable_a in_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o as_o far_o from_o comply_v with_o papist_n or_o prefer_v they_o before_o protestant_n what_o ever_o i_o suffer_v or_o undergo_v as_o light_n be_v from_o darkness_n in_o its_o great_a brightness_n moreover_o brother_n i_o will_v not_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v ignorant_a how_o that_o i_o have_v be_v as_o frequent_v in_o disputation_n write_v as_o much_o in_o confutation_n and_o at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o company_n have_v appear_v as_o forward_o and_o earnest_a against_o papist_n and_o have_v venture_v my_o life_n to_o maintain_v the_o protestant_a religion_n as_o free_o as_o any_o independent_a i_o know_v in_o england_n and_o that_o in_o the_o worst_a of_o time_n yea_o when_o those_o who_o be_v now_o the_o chief_a independent_a rabbi_n to_o avoid_v suffer_v for_o truth_n will_v not_o stand_v to_o appear_v in_o her_o behalf_n but_o go_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o like_o the_o parent_n of_o the_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v blind_a joh._n 9_o 21._o leave_v she_o to_o

prelate_n arminian_n and_o formalist_n in_o their_o erroneous_a doctrine_n and_o popish_a practice_n even_o unto_o blood_n i_o be_o become_v a_o fool_n in_o glory_v you_o have_v compel_v i_o 2_o cor._n 12._o 11._o for_o so_o many_o reproach_n which_o you_o have_v cast_v upon_o i_o and_o such_o groundless_a query_n can_v never_o have_v proceed_v from_o any_o that_o have_v not_o be_v guide_v shall_v i_o say_v by_o a_o traduce_v spirit_n true_o that_o word_n will_v come_v short_a full_o to_o explain_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o sinful_a subtlety_n of_o they_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o set_v down_o what_o spirit_n it_o be_v and_o what_o name_n it_o will_v bear_v i_o shall_v only_o show_v what_o it_o be_v not_o and_o leave_v it_o to_o such_o as_o be_v godly_a wife_n and_o experience_a christian_n to_o spell_v out_o the_o name_n thereof_o now_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o brotherly_a love_n that_o will_v have_v silence_v yea_o annihilate_v such_o thought_n in_o the_o first_o conception_n for_o as_o brotherly_a love_n think_v no_o evil_a much_o less_o dare_v it_o devise_v and_o publish_v falsehood_n yet_o more_o evil_a and_o great_a falsehood_n than_o you_o have_v not_o only_o think_v as_o it_o plain_o appear_v but_o publish_v against_o i_o and_o that_o deliberate_o none_o can_v ever_o have_v imagine_v for_o you_o render_v i_o a_o scandalous_a walker_n as_o vile_a as_o vile_a can_v be_v and_o here_o you_o question_v whether_o i_o have_v not_o comply_v with_o papist_n and_o popish_a cavalier_n and_o prefer_v they_o before_o protestant_n thus_o with_o your_o windy_a independent_a policy_n you_o blast_v my_o good_a name_n raise_v doubt_n cloud_n my_o sincerity_n darken_v and_o overshadow_v my_o faithful_a constant_a perseverance_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o way_n of_o god_n to_o make_v i_o be_v think_v a_o man_n infamous_a and_o of_o no_o religion_n but_o such_o deal_n be_v absolute_o contrary_a to_o
