A88579	A cleare and necessary vindication of the principles and practices of me Christopher Love, since my tryall before, and condemnation by, the High Court of Iustice. Whereby it is manifested, that a close prison, a long sword, a High Court, and a bloody scaffold, have not in the least altered my judgment. Whereas also the cruelty of the sentence, the insufficiency of the proofs, and my own innocency, are demonstrated. As also my grounds and reasons of giving in a narrative, and the lawfulness of the matter and titles of my petitions (though to usurpers) manifested and maintained. Together with a declaration of my judgement concerning Cromwells unlawfull invasion of the kingdom of Scotland. Written by me Christopher Love, Master of Arts, minister of Lawrence Iury, London; penned by me the eighth of August, fourteen days before my death.	Love, Christopher, 1618-1651.	1651 (1651)	Wing L3148; Thomason E790_5; ESTC R202748	58,288	49

against_o the_o law_n of_o love_n to_o confess_v against_o my_o brethren_n who_o be_v partaker_n with_o i_o in_o this_o business_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o viz._n to_o prove_v the_o

what_o i_o myself_o have_v do_v i_o be_v now_o a_o condemn_a man_n be_v these_o first_o as_o self_n justification_n can_v do_v i_o no_o good_a so_o self_n accusation_n can_v do_v i_o no_o hurt_n before_o i_o be_v convict_v i_o will_v not_o confess_v a_o word_n that_o be_v to_o make_v i_o guilty_a of_o my_o own_o blood_n if_o out_o of_o my_o own_o mouth_n they_o shall_v condemn●_n i_o then_o
