A88587	A modest and clear vindication of the serious representation, and late vindication of the ministers of London, from the scandalous aspersions of John Price, in a pamphlet of his, entituled, Clerico-classicum or, The clergies alarum to a third war. Wherein his king-killing doctrine is confuted. The authors by him alledged, as defending it, cleared. The ministers of London vindicated. The follies, and falsities of Iohn Price discovered. The protestation, vow, and the Covenant explained. / By a friend to a regulated monarchy, a free Parliament, an obedient army, and a godly ministry; but an enemy to tyranny, malignity, anarchy and heresie.	Love, Christopher, 1618-1651.	1649 (1649)	Wing L3168; Thomason E549_10; ESTC R204339	63,269	85

which_o you_o call_v justice_n this_o kind_n of_o justice_n the_o minister_n be_v against_o and_o have_v they_o not_o reason_n because_o the_o parliament_n declare_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o one_o end_n of_o the_o war_n be_v to_o bring_v delinquent_n to_o condign_a punishment_n yet_o to_o preserve_v the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o answer_n touch_v

come_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o examine_v whether_o the_o vow_n and_o covenant_n speak_v for_o the_o minister_n or_o against_o they_o where_o as_o you_o mention_v the_o vow_v and_o covenant_n you_o may_v have_v indeed_o show_v your_o ingenuity_n and_o candour_n become_v minister_n of_o the_o gospe●●_z 14._o to_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o main_a end_n of_o that_o

assist_v the_o force_n raise_v and_o continue_v by_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n against_o the_o force_n raise_v by_o the_o king_n without_o their_o consent_n now_o because_o the_o subscriber_n

the_o vow_n and_o covenant_n be_v make_v viz._n because_o there_o be_v a_o horrid_a and_o treacherous_a design_n to_o surprise_v the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o west●inster_n with_o the_o suburb_n and_o by_o arm_n to_o force_v the_o parliament_n therefore_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o think_v fit_a that_o all_o who_o be_v true_a hearted_a and_o lover_n of_o their_o country_n shall_v bind_v themselves_o each_o to_o other_o in_o a_o sacred_a vow_n and_o covenant_n wherein_o we_o declare_v our_o abhorrency_n and_o detestation_n of_o the_o say_a wicked_a and_o treacherous_a design_n and_o that_o according_a to_o our_o power_n and_o vocation_n will_v oppose_v and_o resist_v the_o same_o and_o all_o other_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n so_o that_o by_o the_o vow_n and_o covenant_n it_o

of_o malignant_n by_o arm_n to_o force_v the_o parliament_n they_o be_v both_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n 3_o yea_o you_o will_v have_v show_v your_o ingenuity_n to_o have_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o vow_n bind_v to_o assist_v only_o such_o force_n as_o be_v raise_v and_o c●ntinued_v by_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n not_o such_o force_n as_o be_v raise_v by_o both_o house_n but_o
