A85462	Simplicities defence against seven-headed policy. Or, innocency vindicated, being unjustly accused, and sorely censured by that seven-headed church-government united in New-England: or, that servant so imperious in his masters absence revived, and now thus re-acting in Nevv-England. Or, the combate of the united colonies, not onely against some of the natives and subjects but against the authority also of the kingdom of England, ... Wherein is declared an act of a great people and country of the Indians in those parts, ... in their voluntary submission and subjection unto the protection and government of Old England ...

to_o that_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o be_v it_o you_o that_o be_v every_o one_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o so_o through_o those_o precious_a promise_n or_o gracious_a covenant_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o that_o nature_n divine_a ye●_n who_o ever_o be_v one_o of_o those_o child_n that_o have_v flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n also_o take_v part_n

in_o the_o land_n he_o take_v hold_v that_o be_v on_o our_o weakness_n and_o imperfection_n and_o out_o of_o they_o he_o bring_v his_o own_o power_n and_o strength_n and_o other_o food_n the_o son_n of_o god_n never_o take_v into_o unity_n nor_o digest_v to_o gather_v strength_n unto_o himself_o by_o again_o as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o drink_v the_o blood_n that_o be_v takes_z in_o or_o receive_v

it_o be_v a_o power_n of_o that_o fullness_n and_o perfection_n that_o can_v take_v nothing_o into_o unity_n with_o itself_o that_o may_v be_v think_v to_o add_v any_o thing_n no_o not_o in_o the_o

able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n alike_o answer_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o this_o as_o to_o the_o former_a when_o he_o say_v you_o he_o mean_v not_o only_o divers_a man_n but_o he_o mean_v every_o

the_o unity_n of_o they_o both_o in_o that_o way_n of_o faith_n in_o
