Unto which is annexed a usefull dialogue, betwixt a church-warden and a parishioner, declaring the danger of the said new petition.

in_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n ch._n i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o your_o thought_n free_o par._n why_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o many_o malignant_n be_v come_v into_o the_o city_n and_o have_v make_v their_o peace_n with_o the_o parliament_n by_o their_o composition_n though_o they_o be_v as_o direct_o royalist_n as_o ever_o they_o be_v moreover_o many_o malignant_a episcopal_a priest_n be_v

that_o the_o scot_n and_o the_o king_n will_v join_v together_o against_o the_o parliament_n though_o for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v strong_a confidence_n what_o ever_o the_o king_n design_n may_v be_v the_o scot_n will_v appear_v honest_a these_o man_n well_o know_v that_o if_o they_o can_v but_o divide_v london_n from_o the_o parliament_n and_o get_v those_o man_n suppress_v that_o have_v do_v they_o as_o much_o mischief_n as_o any_o in_o the_o kingdom_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o schismatic_n annabaptist_n independent_n and_o sectary_n these_o man_n i_o say_v may_v foment_n division_n between_o the_o well-affected_a and_o the_o city_n and_o parliament_n not_o doubt_v but_o if_o that_o be_v once_o irreconcilable_o do_v what_o with_o the_o scot_n the_o king_n party_n in_o the_o kingdom_n &_o city_n the_o game_n will_v go_v on_o their_o side_n and_o so_o they_o have_v their_o desire_n again_o we_o have_v a_o great_a many_o minister_n here_o in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n some_o whereof_z doubtless_o in_o conscience_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v much_o affect_v with_o the_o division_n and_o error_n of_o the_o time_n other_o bias_v with_o base_a end_n of_o honour_n and_o profit_n these_o by_o their_o invective_n preach_n stir_v up_o the_o magistrate_n in_o their_o more_o popular_a sermon_n at_o westminster_n paul_n every_o morning_n exercise_n in_o the_o city_n as_o also_o by_o their_o bitter_a writing_n against_o those_o that_o agree_v not_o with_o they_o in_o church_n government_n and_o their_o dispersion_n of_o their_o unchristian_a like_a book_n abroad_o such_o as_o master_n edward_n book_n be_v enough_o to_o set_v a_o whole_a kingdom_n on_o fire_n as_o also_o by_o the_o method_n that_o be_v contrive_v by_o some_o send_v abroad_o and_o spread_v their_o instruction_n direction_n &_o advice_n for_o the_o preach_n on_o such_o subject_n throughout_o the_o city_n and_o kingdom_n as_o people_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v whereby_o division_n wrath_n discord_n and_o general_a discontent_n be_v foment_v throughout_o the_o kingdom_n set_v menister_n against_o people_n and_o people_n against_o minister_n stir_v up_o and_o provoke_v the_o city_n to_o be_v troublesome_a to_o the_o parliament_n to_o petition_v again_o and_o again_o under_o a_o pretence_n of_o zeal_n for_o the_o house_n of_o god_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o reformation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o set_n up_o and_o that_o with_o a_o rigorous_a exaction_n of_o uniformity_n therein_o of_o that_o government_n wherein_o indeed_o themselves_o do_v not_o

hereupon_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a for_o i_o speak_v my_o thought_n they_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o join_v with_o the_o common_a council_n and_o to_o stick_v unto_o they_o insinuate_v that_o the_o parliament_n can_v do_v nothing_o without_o the_o city_n and_o therefore_o petition_n and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o do_v petition_z and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o do_v petition_v again_o and_o again_o until_o they_o do_v answer_v you_o and_o that_o to_o your_o content_n for_o doubtless_o if_o they_o see_v you_o be_v many_o in_o number_n and_o resolve_v in_o the_o thing_n they_o must_v not_o deny_v you_o etc._n etc._n this_o be_v another_o cause_n of_o these_o kind_n of_o procceeding_n i_o blunder_v out_o my_o own_o opinion_n you_o know_v i_o be_o plain_a these_o i_o profess_v be_v my_o very_a thought_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o look_v upon_o this_o very_a petition_n as_o widen_v the_o distance_n and_o increase_a the_o fire_n and_o enlarge_a division_n and_o therefore_o believe_v it_o i_o shall_v have_v no_o hand_n in_o it_o it_o grieve_v i_o to_o see_v how_o simple_o man_n be_v hurry_v on_o to_o their_o own_o damage_n let_v the_o parliament_n alone_o and_o god_n bless_v they_o and_o let_v the_o city_n act_n within_o its_o sphere_n and_o every_o of_o we_o study_v more_o peace_n and_o love_n and_o christian_a sweetness_n in_o our_o carriage_n one_o towards_o

but_o i_o shall_v only_o for_o present_a upon_o a_o sudden_a let_v you_o know_v my_o exception_n against_o one_o thing_n you_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o prayer_n you_o petition_v the_o lord_n major_n and_o common_a council_n as_o they_o make_v conscience_n of_o their_o solemn_a leagus_n and_o covenant_n that_o they_o endeavour_v the_o settlement_n of_o religion_n i_o concceive_v you_o mean_v presbiteriall_a government_n do_v you_o not_o ch_z yes_o doubtless_o we_o mean_v nothing_o else_o for_o that_o we_o suppose_v to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n par_fw-fr why_o then_o by_o this_o kind_n of_o interpretation_n every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o strive_v to_o compel_v other_o to_o conformity_n unto_o that_o government_n which_o he_o suppose_v to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n so_o the_o anabaptist_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o compel_v other_o to_o his_o judgement_n independent_n to_o do_v the_o like_a seeker_n to_o do_v the_o like_a and_o so_o this_o kind_n of_o exposition_n of_o the_o covenant_n put_v a_o sword_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o sectary_n and_o people_n of_o different_a judgement_n to_o rend_v and_o tear_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o and_o what_o a_o divide_v and_o dangerous_a interpretation_n of_o the_o
