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

not_o a_o real_a acknowledgement_n yea_o in_o the_o title_n of_o my_o petition_n i_o call_v they_o the_o parliament_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n i_o do_v not_o call_v they_o nor_o do_v i_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v the_o kingdom_n parliament_n i_o have_v observe_v the_o name_n parliament_n have_v be_v three_o different_a way_n apply_v the_o juncto_fw-la of_o oxford_n be_v call_v a_o parliament_n but_o that_o be_v only_o the_o king_n parliament_n the_o member_n now_o sit_v at_o westminster_n be_v call_v a_o parliament_n also_o but_o they_o be_v the_o parliament_n of_o that_o faction_n who_o stand_v for_o the_o government_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o kingdom_n government_n the_o lord_n and_o commons_o assemble_v at_o westminster_n be_v call_v a_o parliament_n and_o they_o only_o be_v and_o be_v the_o kingdom_n parliament_n to_o preserve_v who_o privilege_n the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v under_o so_o many_o oath_n and_o covenant_n i_o call_v they_o the_o parliament_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o kingdom_n parliament_n 2._o in_o say_v i_o be_o a_o offend_a suppliant_a my_o meaning_n be_v only_o that_o i_o have_v offend_v they_o who_o new_a law_n i_o confess_v i_o have_v break_v 3._o in_o say_v the_o consideration_n whereof_o that_o be_v that_o my_o life_n be_v give_v i_o for_o a_o month_n long_o which_o be_v as_o a_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a melt_v my_o heart_n i_o do_v confess_v sense_n of_o their_o kindness_n do_v more_o gain_n upon_o i_o than_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n what_o i_o write_v to_o mr._n scot_n i_o still_o affirm_v their_o displeasure_n may_v have_v break_v my_o bone_n but_o their_o mercy_n have_v break_v my_o heart_n i_o confess_v it_o have_v do_v so_o this_o favour_n have_v much_o win_v my_o heart_n towards_o they_o in_o love_n and_o thankfulness_n as_o they_o be_v gentleman_n who_o have_v my_o life_n in_o their_o hand_n but_o not_o so_o as_o to_o comply_v with_o they_o in_o a_o state-interest_n to_o promote_v and_o maintain_v their_o present_a government_n 4._o in_o say_v i_o be_o more_o deep_o sensible_a than_o ever_o of_o my_o sin_n against_o god_n i_o bless_v god_n i_o be_o so_o my_o imprisonment_n and_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n past_a upon_o i_o have_v make_v i_o to_o search_v more_o narrow_o into_o my_o heart_n and_o way_n and_o cause_v i_o to_o see_v my_o sinfulness_n unserviceableness_n and_o unprofitableness_n in_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n for_o which_o he_o may_v just_o cut_v i_o off_o as_o a_o wither_a branch_n and_o lay_v i_o aside_o as_o a_o useless_a vessel_n wherein_o he_o will_v take_v no_o pleasure_n it_o will_v be_v a_o sottish_a stupidity_n in_o i_o shall_v not_o all_o these_o sharp_a and_o bitter_a affliction_n make_v i_o more_o sensible_a of_o my_o sin_n against_o god_n nor_o dare_v i_o excuse_v myself_o to_o be_v without_o sin_n in_o my_o late_a act_n that_o be_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o management_n thereof_o be_v too_o open_a and_o indiscreet_a and_o too_o credulous_a of_o man_n these_o and_o other_o infirmity_n do_v cleave_v to_o these_o act_n as_o there_o do_v fail_n cleave_v to_o the_o work_n of_o my_o call_n and_o to_o all_o my_o duty_n yet_o i_o have_v never_o think_v the_o fact_n i_o have_v do_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n to_o be_v sinful_a but_o lawful_a i_o can_v conceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o god_n to_o desire_v in_o my_o prayer_n to_o god_n as_o a_o private_a man_n that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o agreement_n between_o the_o king_n and_o the_o scot_n upon_o the_o interest_n of_o religion_n and_o term_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o to_o be_v present_a when_o letter_n be_v read_v which_o be_v either_o send_v from_o or_o to_o the_o honest_a covenant_a party_n in_o scotland_n nor_o can_v i_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o move_v for_o money_n for_o the_o relief_n of_o major_a general_n massey_n who_o have_v be_v so_o useful_a for_o and_o instrumental_a in_o the_o good_a of_o this_o nation_n and_o that_o not_o for_o a_o military_a use_n that_o be_v disclaim_v by_o i_o but_o namely_o for_o a_o supply_n of_o his_o personal_a necessity_n i_o know_v no_o sin_n in_o this_o yet_o this_o be_v all_o that_o be_v prove_v against_o i_o for_o which_o i_o be_o condemn_v to_o die_v 5._o when_o i_o say_v i_o be_o sorrowful_a for_o my_o high_a crime_n and_o offence_n against_o the_o parliament_n in_o my_o late_a and_o great_a miscarriage_n i_o desire_v three_o thing_n may_v be_v take_v notice_n of_o 1._o the_o reason_n why_o i_o call_v my_o late_a act_n high_a crime_n and_o offence_n against_o the_o parliament_n because_o they_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o my_o charge_n i_o be_v charge_v with_o high_a treason_n and_o other_o high_a crime_n and_o offence_n to_o the_o first_o i_o still_o plead_v not_o guilty_a the_o second_o i_o confess_v before_o the_o high-court_n that_o i_o be_v guilty_a of_o those_o thing_n which_o their_o law_n count_v high_a crime_n and_o offence_n in_o conceal_v what_o my_o accuser_n have_v do_v second_o i_o do_v in_o these_o word_n mention_v the_o object_n of_o these_o high_a crime_n and_o offence_n not_o against_o god_n but_o against_o the_o parliament_n so_o call_v for_o distinction_n sake_n three_o i_o call_v my_o late_a act_n great_a miscarriage_n not_o sin_v because_o i_o do_v miscarry_v as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o managemement_n and_o as_o to_o the_o desire_a issue_n and_o event_n that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o heal_n of_o breach_n and_o compose_v of_o difference_n among_o the_o godly_a in_o both_o the_o nation_n 6._o in_o say_v i_o have_v high_o violate_v the_o law_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n i_o call_v they_o thus_o to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o old_a and_o fundamental_a law_n of_o this_o kingdom●_n which_o i_o have_v not_o break_v in_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v do_v 7._o in_o say_v i_o have_v by_o the_o high_a violation_n of_o their_o law_n render_v myself_o guilty_a of_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n just_o past_a upon_o i_o by_o the_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n i_o will_v be_v right_o understand_v in_o these_o word_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v wrest_v beyond_o or_o contrary_a to_o my_o intendment_n that_o you_o may_v full_o apprehend_v what_o i_o aim_v at_o in_o this_o expression_n i_o desire_v you_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o a_o few_o particular_n 1._o i_o do_v not_o say_v i_o be_o prove_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n but_o i_o have_v render_v myself_o guilty_a etc._n etc._n that_o be_v though_o they_o have_v not_o prove_v yet_o i_o
