this_o counsel_n object_n how_o shall_v we_o make_v your_o text_n good_a and_o approve_v ourselves_o cruel_a messenger_n i_o answer_v answ._n that_o the_o text_n be_v rather_o a_o declaration_n than_o a_o precept_n it_o do_v not_o command_v you_o to_o be_v cruel_a but_o do_v declare_v that_o a_o rebel_n shall_v meet_v with_o cruelty_n i.e._n with_o sure_a and_o sharp_a punishment_n and_o when_o such_o a_o one_o do_v meet_v with_o such_o a_o portion_n who_o ever_o be_v the_o inflict_a of_o it_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o text_n to_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v send_v he_o of_o god_n and_o indeed_o do_v what_o we_o can_v there_o be_v wicked_a man_n enough_o in_o a_o army_n who_o will_v extend_v their_o fury_n even_o to_o cruelty_n which_o when_o we_o have_v observe_v we_o may_v see_v god_n hand_n therein_o against_o the_o rebel_n though_o i_o confess_v this_o too_o that_o sometime_o god_n have_v in_o their_o heat_n of_o blood_n infuse_v into_o good_a and_o holy_a man_n a_o certain_a spirit_n which_o have_v appear_v as_o a_o cruel_a spirit_n for_o example_n such_o be_v that_o which_o show_v itself_o in_o david_n when_o the_o city_n rabbah_n of_o the_o ammonite_n be_v take_v he_o put_v the_o people_n under_o saw_n and_o harrow_n of_o iron_n and_o axe_n of_o iron_n and_o make_v they_o pass_v through_o the_o brick-kiln_a now_o i_o say_v when_o by_o the_o effect_n we_o see_v such_o a_o spirit_n in_o any_o we_o be_v to_o note_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n therein_o but_o here_o let_v i_o advise_v you_o of_o one_o necessary_a thing_n from_o the_o text_n a_o cruel_a messenger_n shall_v be_v send_v against_o he_o scil._n against_o the_o rebellious_a man_n your_o severity_n therefore_o must_v be_v only_o against_o such_o and_o not_o against_o any_o of_o the_o king_n loyal_a and_o good_a subject_n that_o bed_n you_o and_o board_v you_o and_o give_v you_o houseroom_n for_o yourselves_o and_o horse_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o too_o many_o but_o i_o affirm_v they_o be_v no_o true_a gentleman_n no_o true_a cavalier_n when_o they_o have_v have_v free_a quarter_n in_o a_o place_n and_o perhaps_o have_v devour_v up_o all_o the_o provision_n in_o the_o house_n then_o to_o requite_v their_o landlord_n with_o eob_v and_o plunder_v he_o of_o his_o household_n commodity_n or_o else_o threaten_v so_o to_o do_v unless_o he_o will_v give_v they_o money_n to_o forbear_v o_o these_o carriage_n do_v speak_v such_o man_n to_o be_v send_v rather_o to_o make_v the_o king_n enemy_n then_o to_o rid_v he_o of_o his_o enemy_n but_o gentleman_n and_o soldier_n if_o you_o acknowledge_v yourselves_o the_o king_n messenger_n remember_v your_o employment_n ●ccording_v to_o your_o commission_n be_v to_o punish_v rebel_n and_o not_o to_o abuse_v good_a subject_n and_o in_o your_o action_n against_o the_o rebel_n i_o can_v from_o the_o text_n excite_v you_o to_o be_v courageous_a for_o they_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n curse_n and_o you_o have_v the_o king_n commission_n and_o fight_v in_o defence_n of_o his_o sacred_a person_n crown_n and_o dignity_n against_o they_o what_o ever_o blood_n of_o they_o you_o shed_v in_o battle_n be_v not_o innocent_a blood_n but_o as_o guilty_a blood_n as_o ever_o be_v shed_v by_o christian_n in_o a_o just_a war_n since_o the_o beginning_n of_o christianity_n for_o concerning_o the_o head_n of_o this_o rebellion_n the_o man_n of_o westminster_n or_o the_o faction_n there_o who_o to_o vex_v their_o religious_a king_n have_v bestow_v their_o best_a care_n to_o lose_v ireland_n to_o give_v away_o scotland_n and_o to_o destroy_v england_n these_o man_n i_o say_v together_o with_o their_o bloodthirsty_a chaplain_n by_o who_o venomous_a tongue_n they_o belch_v out_o so_o much_o blasphemy_n treason_n and_o cruelty_n against_o god_n the_o king_n and_o the_o king_n people_n and_o by_o who_o witchery_n and_o specious_a pretence_n they_o have_v conjure_v so_o many_o of_o the_o poor_a vulgar_a into_o their_o desperate_a and_o destructive_a circle_n if_o ever_o any_o combination_n of_o man_n upon_o earth_n since_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n of_o christ_n time_n do_v sin_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o fear_v these_o be_v they_o for_o they_o do_v know_o resist_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n word_n and_o spirit_n and_o studious_o oppose_v the_o light_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o former_a profession_n how_o often_o have_v they_o charge_v it_o upon_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n to_o intend_v that_o mischief_n which_o themselves_o be_v in_o practice_n of_o and_o in_o plot_v to_o perform_v how_o have_v they_o hood-wink_v the_o poor_a commonalty_n of_o england_n with_o suspicion_n of_o the_o king_n call_v in_o foreigner_n to_o invade_v the_o land_n and_o of_o aim_v to_o destroy_v the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a till_o themselves_o have_v effect_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n what_o

his_o pious_a and_o peaceable_a desire_n all_o this_o do_v plain_o speak_v to_o every_o discern_a eye_n that_o their_o labour_n be_v against_o their_o own_o conscience_n to_o grieve_v the_o holy_a

five_o year_n ago_o to_o be_v take_v by_o the_o clergy_n as_o most_o ungodly_a unreasonable_a and_o illegal_a affirm_v that_o the_o proceed_n in_o the_o urge_v thereof_o be_v too_o extreme_o violent_a and_o the_o penalty_n annex_v thereto_o upon_o the_o refusal_n thereof_o be_v too_o cruel_a and_o many_o argument_n special_o those_o call_v the_o london_n quaeres_fw-la be_v frame_v and_o

and_o more_o illegal_a with_o more_o extremity_n of_o violence_n and_o with_o heavy_a penalty_n upon_o more_o people_n all_o in_o general_a more_o ignorant_a whereby_o they_o have_v endanger_v
