contrive_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n and_o government_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o endeavour_v a_o total_a universal_a toleration_n as_o they_o fear_v answer_v it_o be_v indeed_o a_o matter_n of_o offence_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n for_o one_o man_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o own_o will_n to_o overthrow_v the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o that_o be_v not_o their_o case_n for_o they_o will_v not_o have_v any_o alteration_n to_o be_v make_v at_o the_o will_n of_o any_o one_o man_n and_o for_o the_o fundamental_a law_n to_o be_v alter_v that_o be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v but_o be_v declare_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o that_o be_v a_o offence_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n to_o dissuade_v from_o the_o call_n of_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o they_o see_v and_o feel_v it_o to_o be_v so_o great_a they_o have_v desire_v it_o may_v be_v prevent_v for_o time_n to_o come_v a_o parliament_n be_v the_o next_o way_n of_o refuge_n and_o

that_o they_o may_v have_v their_o time_n set_v how_o long_o they_o shall_v sit_v that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o be_v break_v up_o before_o except_o they_o themselves_o see_v fit_a so_o to_o do_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o for_o what_o you_o speak_v of_o arminian_o and_o papist_n it_o be_v cause_n of_o grief_n to_o every_o gracious_a heart_n the_o one_o be_v gross_a idolater_n and_o the_o other_o but_o little_o better_a but_o in_o some_o sense_n may_v be_v more_o dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a but_o your_o inference_n will_v not_o hold_v as_o if_o it_o be_v commendable_a to_o contrive_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n and_o government_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o endeavour_v a_o total_a and_o universal_a toleration_n for_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o any_o especial_o those_o who_o you_o do_v write_v unto_o do_v account_n it_o a_o commendable_a thing_n to_o contrive_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n and_o

propound_v for_o a_o universal_a toleration_n and_o therefore_o we_o dare_v not_o conclude_v they_o do_v approve_v of_o either_o and_o therefore_o they_o will_v never_o account_v it_o commendable_a but_o that_o they_o will_v oppose_v it_o and_o any_o that_o shall_v labour_v so_o to_o do_v and_o as_o they_o have_v be_v so_o they_o will_v continue_v to_o be_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o we_o hope_v be_v dear_a unto_o they_o and_o as_o for_o your_o fear_n you_o hold_v forth_o against_o person_n of_o such_o eminent_a note_n with_o no_o better_a ground_n we_o can_v but_o witness_v against_o it_o as_o a_o sin_n so_o to_o do_v be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o 5._o 6._o and_o 9_o commandment_n it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v confident_a upon_o their_o former_a success_n which_o be_v no_o good_a ground_n especial_o they_o be_v before_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n but_o now_o they_o be_v not_o answer_v if_o ever_o they_o may_v be_v confident_a of_o success_n because_o they_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n they_o may_v be_v now_o for_o the_o way_n they_o be_v now_o in_o be_v as_o much_o approve_v as_o any_o way_n they_o ever_o walk_v in_o since_o they_o take_v up_o arm_n for_o this_o do_v tend_v much_o to_o the_o consummation_n of_o all_o they_o have_v labour_v for_o and_o the_o trial_n great_a and_o therefore_o for_o they_o to_o hold_v out_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n that_o god_n be_v with_o they_o and_o will_v be_v with_o they_o and_o give_v they_o good_a

a_o necessity_n be_v true_a but_o that_o make_v it_o do_v not_o appear_v for_o the_o necessity_n lie_v in_o the_o power_n and_o greatness_n of_o the_o party_n they_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o which_o make_v the_o work_n difficult_a and_o so_o a_o necessity_n for_o they_o to_o act_v as_o they_o do_v and_o although_o necessity_n do_v not_o warrant_n to_o sin_n yet_o necessity_n may_v make_v that_o lawful_a which_o without_o necessity_n be_v unlawful_a as_o for_o david_n and_o those_o that_o be_v with_o he_o to_o eat_v the_o shewbread_n be_v a_o sin_n have_v not_o necessity_n cause_v

say_v their_o necessity_n be_v doubtful_a and_o not_o clear_a and_o certain_a because_o it_o be_v see_v by_o none_o but_o themselves_o answer_v if_o person_n will_v not_o see_v none_o can_v make_v

be_v call_v to_o and_o fit_v for_o by_o god_n and_o in_o which_o they_o be_v set_v by_o the_o parliament_n who_o cause_v that_o to_o be_v their_o work_n by_o appointment_n as_o they_o be_v soldier_n so_o as_o they_o be_v busy_a in_o their_o own_o work_n for_o the_o kingdom_n good_a and_o that_o be_v their_o duty_n and_o they_o be_v faithful_a in_o it_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n and_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o cause_n they_o be_v to_o defend_v and_o therefore_o to_o be_v commend_v for_o be_v so_o faithful_a in_o their_o place_n and_o they_o be_v to_o be_v

lord_n may_v give_v they_o the_o crown_n of_o life_n i_o pray_v therefore_o consider_v of_o all_o these_o particular_n and_o consider_v if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sad_a thing_n so_o many_o of_o you_o as_o 47._o shall_v be_v find_v guilty_a of_o so_o many_o grievous_a sin_n as_o this_o be_v to_o charge_v people_n with_o so_o many_o thing_n and_o can_v prove_v none_o for_o all_o those_o charge_n be_v sin_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n and_o some_o of_o they_o be_v sin_n of_o a_o very_a high_a nature_n and_o deserve_v great_a and_o high_a punishment_n from_o god_n and_o man_n and_o therefore_o do_v render_v just_o those_o person_n detestable_a to_o god_n and_o man_n that_o be_v guilty_a of_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o but_o if_o guiltless_a then_o consider_v what_o a_o condition_n such_o man_n be_v in_o as_o do_v thus_o charge_v person_n although_o they_o be_v but_o of_o ordinary_a rank_n if_o they_o can_v prove_v what_o they_o charge_v they_o with_o their_o sin_n be_v very_o great_a for_o we_o know_v what_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v against_o false_a witness_n those_o that_o lay_v so_o many_o thing_n to_o their_o charge_n as_o these_o have_v do_v and_o not_o prove_v they_o be_v false_a witness_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v tell_v we_o look_v what_o they_o intend_v to_o bring_v upon_o the_o party_n by_o such_o witness_n the_o same_o shall_v be_v do_v to_o they_o but_o how_o much_o more_o when_o this_o be_v not_o do_v to_o one_o person_n but_o to_o many_o and_o that_o not_o to_o man_n of_o a_o mean_a rank_n and_o place_n but_o those_o of_o a_o high_a rank_n and_o place_n and_o such_o as_o have_v deserve_v to_o be_v honour_v for_o what_o they_o have_v do_v and_o be_v do_v it_o be_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n allow_v of_o and_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n have_v cause_n to_o bless_v god_n for_o what_o ever_o may_v be_v hold_v out_o to_o the_o contrary_a by_o person_n dis-affected_n to_o the_o kingdom_n good_a that_o may_v aim_v at_o their_o own_o end_n in_o so_o do_v and_o therefore_o god_n will_v find_v out_o such_o person_n if_o man_n pass_v they_o by_o and_o he_o will_v pour_v out_o contempt_n for_o contempt_n and_o disgrace_n for_o disgrace_n and_o reproach_n for_o reproach_n for_o he_o be_v a_o just_a god_n and_o he_o know_v also_o the_o most_o secret_a working_n of_o such_o as_o work_v against_o his_o people_n for_o their_o own_o end_n and_o their_o secret_a grudge_n against_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v say_v to_o such_o be_v not_o deceive_v for_o god_n be_v not_o nor_o will_v not_o be_v mock_v for_o what_o a_o man_n or_o man_n sow_v that_o they_o shall_v reap_v but_o how_o much_o more_o be_v it_o to_o be_v admire_v that_o such_o as_o lay_v such_o heavy_a burden_n upon_o other_o shall_v be_v more_o guilty_a of_o those_o very_a thing_n if_o not_o great_a themselves_o and_o therefore_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o examine_v whether_o they_o be_v guilty_a or_o not_o may_v it_o not_o be_v say_v it_o be_v a_o unseemly_a thing_n if_o not_o too_o much_o arrogancy_n of_o spirit_n for_o you_o to_o call_v they_o private_a person_n and_o account_v it_o a_o unseemly_a thing_n for_o they_o to_o desire_v a_o consultation_n with_o you_o for_o if_o they_o be_v private_a person_n they_o be_v none_o of_o the_o mean_a sort_n which_o if_o they_o have_v you_o shall_v not_o have_v slight_v

at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o it_o do_v be_v it_o not_o through_o pride_n that_o man_n that_o be_v send_v for_o in_o a_o love_a and_o honourable_a way_n to_o be_v consult_v withal_o in_o weighty_a

it_o not_o pride_n to_o call_v other_o but_o private_a man_n in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o that_o be_v above_o we_o in_o public_a place_n set_v by_o the_o lord_n be_v it_o not_o pride_n for_o we_o to_o meddle_v in_o thing_n too_o high_a for_o we_o which_o god_n have_v not_o employ_v we_o in_o etc._n etc._n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v you_o be_v tell_v if_o you_o put_v yourselves_o upon_o suffer_v you_o may_v have_v suffering_n enough_o be_v it_o not_o true_a for_o who_o can_v either_o have_v comfort_n in_o suffering_n or_o expect_v to_o get_v out_o of_o they_o that_o pull_v they_o needless_o upon_o themselves_o especial_o by_o venture_v upon_o unlawful_a course_n as_o this_o of_o you_o be_v and_o therefore_o how_o can_v you_o say_v the_o god_n who_o you_o serve_v will_v deliver_v you_o when_o in_o this_o you_o do_v not_o serve_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n who_o be_v the_o god_n i_o hope_v you_o mean_v and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v if_o you_o do_v not_o abuse_v his_o name_n in_o so_o say_v as_o if_o he_o will_v patronize_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o evil_a as_o this_o be_v it_o be_v true_a in_o the_o discharge_n of_o your_o duty_n that_o he_o call_v you_o unto_o you_o may_v commit_v your_o soul_n into_o his_o hand_n as_o to_o a_o faithful_a creator_n but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o work_n that_o he_o set_v you_o about_o or_o will_v own_o and_o therefore_o you_o can_v so_o commit_v your_o soul_n to_o he_o while_o you_o go_v on_o in_o such_o sinful_a way_n all_o these_o thing_n consider_v how_o will_v it_o appear_v that_o what_o you_o have_v do_v be_v out_o of_o zeal_n to_o god_n glory_n for_o he_o be_v and_o will_v be_v much_o dishonour_v by_o this_o writing_n neither_o can_v you_o say_v you_o have_v discharge_v your_o duty_n for_o it_o be_v not_o your_o duty_n to_o dishonour_n god_n as_o you_o have_v do_v by_o this_o and_o how_o can_v any_o think_v that_o it_o be_v with_o a_o earnest_a desire_n after_o the_o comfort_n and_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n when_o you_o speak_v with_o that_o bitterness_n as_o you_o have_v do_v and_o lay_v so_o many_o false_a thing_n to_o their_o charge_n and_o be_v not_o this_o to_o speak_v wicked_o for_o god_n it_o be_v true_a you_o have_v speak_v free_o but_o i_o wish_v it_o may_v not_o be_v say_v unfaithful_o but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o i_o desire_v any_o judicious_a conscientious_a impartial_a reader_n to_o judge_v it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v declare_v your_o judgement_n but_o i_o will_v hope_v the_o contrary_a for_o if_o this_o be_v your_o judgement_n it_o show_v they_o be_v very_o corrupt_a whereas_o you_o have_v speak_v so_o much_o bitterness_n and_o many_o untruth_n against_o they_o both_o for_o their_o former_a and_o latter_a proceed_n for_o shall_v you_o be_v satisfy_v in_o your_o desire_n all_o will_v have_v be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o they_o be_v before_o the_o blood_n and_o treasure_n be_v spend_v for_o not_o only_o a_o enemy_n shall_v have_v be_v let_v loose_a upon_o we_o but_o a_o enemy_n enrage_v and_o therefore_o if_o that_o shall_v have_v reform_v in_o your_o sense_n all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n will_v have_v have_v great_a cause_n of_o mourning_n and_o sadness_n for_o what_o they_o have_v yield_v unto_o and_o we_o may_v have_v take_v it_o as_o a_o just_a recompense_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o their_o not_o take_v your_o advice_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o bless_v the_o lord_n for_o and_o that_o he_o have_v make_v they_o instrumental_a to_o set_v forth_o his_o glory_n and_o also_o a_o mercy_n and_o salvation_n and_o enlargement_n to_o his_o people_n and_o so_o you_o find_v false_a prophet_n as_o well_o as_o you_o have_v be_v false_a accuser_n in_o what_o you_o say_v that_o their_o present_a act_n do_v certain_o tend_v to_o misery_n and_o confusion_n but_o oh_o that_o it_o may_v not_o true_o be_v say_v that_o your_o present_a act_n if_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o kingdom_n you_o shall_v prevail_v they_o will_v bring_v unavoidable_a misery_n and_o confusion_n oh_o therefore_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v please_v to_o set_v thing_n sad_o upon_o your_o heart_n and_o bring_v you_o to_o a_o serious_a and_o sad_a consideration_n of_o what_o you_o have_v do_v you_o have_v have_v divers_a answer_n former_o and_o therein_o the_o lord_n have_v appear_v divers_a way_n unto_o you_o in_o
