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

from_o go_v about_o to_o justify_v their_o right_n to_o this_o title_n to_o who_o i_o give_v it_o yet_o i_o shall_v justify_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o my_o practice_n in_o give_v they_o this_o title_n which_o they_o assume_v to_o themselves_o especial_o in_o a_o case_n of_o life_n as_o i_o be_v for_o in_o trivial_a matter_n i_o have_v rather_o lose_v my_o own_o right_n which_o belong_v to_o i_o than_o give_v they_o this_o title_n which_o belong_v not_o to_o they_o the_o reason_n which_o sway_n with_o i_o why_o i_o give_v they_o this_o title_n though_o i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v they_o have_v

that_o they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o those_o title_n titular_a and_o real_a be_v usual_o distinguish_v by_o give_v they_o the_o title_n of_o supreme_a authority_n and_o parliament_n i_o do_v

acknowledge_v they_o a_o real_a authority_n and_o a_o real_a parliament_n that_o i_o may_v further_o evince_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o second_o reason_n viz._n that_o give_v of_o title_n to_o man_n they_o assume_v to_o themselves_o be_v not_o a_o real_a own_v that_o they_o have_v a_o real_a right_n to_o those_o title_n i_o shall_v give_v sundry_a instance_n in_o scripture_n to_o make_v it_o
