that_o church_n whilst_o the_o papist_n do_v cut_v the_o throat_n of_o the_o protestant_n in_o ireland_n preach_v up_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o ship-money_n loan-money_n and_o the_o king_n be_v absolute_a power_n in_o england_n countenance_v he_o in_o refuse_v to_o let_v those_o who_o be_v accuse_v of_o murder_v his_o father_n be_v bring_v to_o trial_n whilst_o they_o rail_v against_o

parliament_n and_o preach_v up_o his_o prerogative_n to_o such_o a_o height_n that_o the_o parliament_n find_v they_o the_o principal_a incendiary_n in_o those_o unhappy_a trouble_n break_v the_o frame_n of_o their_o hierarchy_n all_o in_o piece_n after_o which_o they_o join_v with_o the_o irish_a cutthroat_n against_o their_o fellow-subject_n and_o countenance_v his_o majesty_n cessation_n of_o arm_n with_o they_o whilst_o they_o assist_v to_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n against_o his_o protestant_a subject_n and_o in_o fine_a render_v his_o majesty_n so_o deaf_a to_o all_o proposal_n of_o

shall_v be_v independent_a on_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n and_o thus_o by_o the_o stubborness_n of_o our_o high-flown_a churchman_n with_o who_o papist_n and_o arminian_o and_o all_o who_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o civil_a liberty_n of_o the_o nation_n herd_v his_o majesty_n be_v overperswade_v to_o his_o ruin_n so_o that_o it_o be_v the_o doctor_n be_v old_a race_n of_o saint_n that_o

and_o state_n be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffering_n so_o that_o i_o observe_v he_o be_v more_o cautious_a and_o afraid_a of_o profane_v king_n charles_n his_o character_n than_o of_o profane_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o chief_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o his_o abusive_a metaphor_n do_v the_o doctor_n think_v that_o any_o but_o himself_o can_v suppose_v a_o parity_n betwixt_o the_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffering_n and_o those_o of_o laud_n strafford_n and_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o i_o wonder_v that_o the_o doctor_n be_v not_o afraid_a of_o make_v such_o blasphemous_a application_n of_o scripture_n phrase_n which_o be_v applicable_a only_o to_o christ_n alone_o in_o the_o next_o paragraph_v the_o doctor_n be_v very_o zealous_a for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o establish_v church_n which_o he_o wish_n may_v so_o continue_v and_o consequent_o bewray_v his_o apprehension_n of_o danger_n which_o be_v a_o malicious_a insinuation_n against_o the_o government_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v anon_o ibid._n he_o say_v she_o have_v always_o the_o same_o enemy_n and_o the_o same_o fate_n with_o her_o king_n they_o be_v ever_o persecute_v oppress_a defame_a and_o have_v fall_v together_o her_o obedience_n be_v a_o noble_a thing_n than_o to_o let_v they_o perish_v unattended_a but_o i_o suppose_v the_o doctor_n be_v not_o aware_a of_o what_o question_n may_v be_v raise_v upon_o these_o bold_a assertion_n as_o 1._o whether_o or_o not_o the_o majority_n both_o of_o the_o clergy_n and_o laity_n of_o his_o church_n do_v not_o comply_v with_o charles_n the_o first_o be_v enemy_n when_o the_o king_n be_v no_o long_o able_a to_o protect_v they_o 2._o whether_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v not_o the_o man_n who_o stickle_v most_o against_o oliver_n for_o save_v the_o king_n life_n and_o interest_n as_o can_v be_v evidence_v by_o the_o petition_n and_o behaviour_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n where_o presbytery_n be_v most_o predominant_a by_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o presbyterian_a member_n of_o the_o house_n till_o they_o be_v exclude_v by_o the_o army_n and_o force_v to_o disperse_v some_o of_o they_o beyond_o sea_n and_o other_o into_o the_o country_n by_o the_o opposition_n make_v by_o the_o scotish_n kirk_n committee_n of_o estate_n parliament_n army_z and_o commissioner_n to_o the_o king_n confinement_n trial_n and_o execution_n protest_v against_o they_o all_o as_o contrary_a to_o the_o article_n agree_v on_o with_o they_o at_o the_o surrender_n to_o the_o union_n of_o the_o nation_n his_o majesty_n just_a right_n and_o the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n and_o last_o by_o sir_n thomas_n fairfax_n design_n to_o rescue_v he_o after_o his_o sentence_n 3._o whether_o the_o majority_n of_o the_o church-of_a england-clergy_n do_v not_o comply_v with_o the_o course_n of_o the_o time_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n when_o of_o the_o ten_o thousand_o ecclesiastic_n which_o be_v general_o reckon_v in_o england_n not_o above_o two_o thousand_o be_v nonconformist_n after_o charles_n the_o second_v restauration_n 4._o whether_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v oppress_v persecute_a defame_v and_o fall_v with_o the_o late_a king_n james_n and_o how_o it_o come_v that_o according_a to_o the_o doctor_n their_o obedience_n be_v not_o so_o noble_a then_o as_o not_o to_o let_v he_o perish_v unattended_a and_o why_o they_o do_v not_o follow_v the_o example_n which_o he_o say_v be_v show_v to_o guide_v they_o hereafter_o if_o ever_o the_o like_a occasion_n return_v perhaps_o the_o doctor_n may_v rejoin_v that_o if_o k._n james_n have_v be_v cut_v off_o they_o will_v not_o have_v let_v he_o perish_v unattended_a but_o they_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o abdicate_v with_o he_o but_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a he_o that_o will_v be_v faithful_a in_o a_o little_a will_v never_o be_v faithful_a in_o much_o and_o to_o tell_v the_o doctor_n the_o plain_a truth_n if_o the_o royal_a martyr_n have_v imprison_v their_o bishop_n fall_v foul_a upon_o their_o college_n and_o give_v liberty_n to_o dissenter_n he_o shall_v even_o have_v have_v leave_n to_o perish_v unattended_a as_o well_o as_o his_o son_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v best_o for_o the_o doctor_n to_o save_v his_o breath_n and_o not_o brag_v so_o much_o of_o his_o church_n loyalty_n to_o the_o martyr_n they_o cut_v off_o his_o grandmother_n because_o they_o be_v afraid_a that_o she_o will_v be_v their_o enemy_n and_o they_o drive_v his_o son_n from_o the_o throne_n whenever_o he_o begin_v to_o touch_v their_o copyhold_n though_o they_o spend_v their_o lung_n in_o cry_v down_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n so_o long_o as_o they_o think_v that_o the_o duke_n be_v their_o friend_n and_o hence_o i_o conclude_v in_o spite_n of_o the_o doctor_n that_o his_o church_n will_v neither_o serve_v god_n nor_o the_o king_n for_o nought_o pag._n 18._o the_o doctor_n urge_v that_o he_o that_o resist_v receive_v to_o himself_o damnation_n but_o i_o wish_v that_o he_o will_v a_o little_a explain_v himself_o whether_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v take_v only_o in_o relation_n to_o king_n or_o other_o governor_n also_o and_o if_o only_a to_o king_n then_o whether_o he_o do_v not_o allow_v of_o rebellion_n against_o republic_n and_o if_o he_o do_v allow_v of_o the_o latter_a how_o he_o will_v reconcile_v it_o to_o the_o divine_a command_n 1_o pet._n 2.13_o 14._o submit_v yourselves_o unto_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a or_o unto_o governor_n as_o unto_o they_o who_o be_v send_v by_o he_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil-doer_n and_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o and_o i_o will_v fain_o ask_v the_o doctor_n that_o see_v by_o this_o text_n obedience_n be_v due_a to_o other_o governor_n as_o well_o as_o to_o king_n what_o become_v of_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o monarchical_a government_n exclusive_a of_o all_o other_o and_o see_v other_o species_n of_o government_n be_v of_o divine_a right_a as_o well_o as_o that_o whether_o it_o must_v not_o be_v the_o choice_n of_o the_o people_n only_o that_o can_v now_o determine_v which_o of_o they_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o themselves_o and_o if_o the_o people_n can_v determine_v whether_o one_o or_o more_o person_n shall_v be_v
