little_a for_o you_o look_v back_o to_o the_o experience_n of_o all_o the_o world_n your_o bishop_n tailor_n and_o many_o of_o your_o own_o can_v tell_v you_o how_o opposition_n inflame_v the_o

that_o even_o silence_v or_o imprisonment_n shall_v change_v their_o judgement_n 2._o the_o next_o question_n than_o be_v whether_o it_o will_v make_v they_o hypocrite_n and_o force_v they_o to_o go_v against_o their_o judgement_n and_o this_o i_o be_o as_o confident_a it_o will_v never_o do_v with_o the_o most_o 1._o because_o i_o know_v so_o many_o of_o they_o to_o be_v true_a to_o god_n and_o to_o their_o conscience_n 2._o because_o experience_n also_o long_o evince_v this_o 3._o and_o so_o have_v the_o experience_n of_o former_a age_n in_o such_o as_o they_o some_o have_v still_o shrink_v in_o a_o time_n of_o suffer_v but_o enough_o have_v suffer_v to_o fill_v up_o such_o volume_n as_o mr._n fox_n and_o the_o century-writer_n and_o many_o other_o 4._o and_o here_o also_o i_o ask_v will_v you_o do_v so_o yourselves_o will_v you_o do_v that_o which_o you_o think_v to_o be_v lie_v perjury_n renounce_v reformation_n etc._n etc._n against_o your_o conscience_n rather_o than_o suffer_v or_o will_v you_o not_o if_o yea_o you_o tell_v the_o world_n what_o your_o religion_n be_v if_o not_o judge_v by_o your_o own_o course_n both_o now_o and_o former_o whether_o they_o or_o you_o be_v like_a to_o choose_v sin_n before_o suffer_v i_o know_v not_o you_o so_o well_o as_o they_o and_o therefore_o know_v not_o what_o you_o will_v do_v so_o well_o as_o i_o and_o you_o and_o all_o the_o world_n may_v know_v what_o they_o will_v do_v 5._o and_o if_o they_o be_v such_o villain_n as_o to_o sell_v their_o soul_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o flesh_n why_o shall_v not_o the_o same_o principle_n now_o prevail_v with_o they_o to_o stretch_v their_o conscience_n by_o some_o distinction_n and_o take_v live_n and_o honour_n among_o you_o with_o conformity_n instead_o of_o a_o hunt_a and_o afflict_a state_n of_o life_n if_o satan_n shall_v say_v skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v will_n a_o man_n give_v for_o his_o life_n let_v i_o touch_v his_o body_n and_o i_o will_v make_v he_o curse_v thou_o to_o thy_o face_n whereas_o now_o he_o serve_v not_o god_n for_o nought_o yet_o god_n will_v support_v and_o vindicate_v the_o integrity_n of_o job_n and_o though_o he_o may_v fall_v into_o some_o impatiency_n he_o will_v not_o yet_o forsake_v his_o master_n nor_o leave_v his_o integrity_n to_o the_o death_n 3._o the_o last_o question_n therefore_o be_v whether_o their_o destruction_n will_v do_v your_o work_n or_o not_o see_v neither_o their_o change_n of_o judgement_n nor_o for_o sake_z their_o conscience_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v by_o your_o mean_n i_o find_v that_o the_o novel-politician_n be_v confident_a of_o it_o that_o sharp_a execution_n be_v the_o way_n and_o will_v easy_o do_v it_o and_o so_o be_v most_o that_o write_v against_o
