to_o put_v you_o into_o such_o a_o passion_n as_o you_o express_v against_o they_o and_o i_o at_o our_o last_o night_n meeting_n sure_o the_o company_n you_o now_o converse_v with_o and_o the_o strange_a principle_n with_o which_o they_o have_v now_o possess_v you_o have_v alter_v your_o nature_n and_o turn_v your_o former_a reason_n into_o prejudice_n and_o unbelief_n if_o not_o you_o will_v have_v believe_v what_o i_o do_v so_o serious_o affirm_v to_o be_v a_o know_a truth_n namely_o that_o this_o age_n be_v not_o more_o severe_a against_o the_o disturber_n of_o the_o settle_a peace_n and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n and_o state_n than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o very_a happy_a day_n of_o our_o late_a and_o good_a queen_n elizabeth_n some_o of_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o say_v so_o i_o do_v with_o very_o much_o affection_n tender_a to_o your_o consideration_n and_o to_o your_o censure_n too_o and_o that_o the_o last_o may_v be_v the_o more_o charitable_a and_o you_o not_o apt_a to_o make_v the_o error_n or_o fail_n of_o your_o governor_n seem_v more_o or_o great_a than_o indeed_o they_o be_v let_v i_o entreat_v that_o you_o remember_v what_o i_o have_v very_o often_o say_v to_o you_o namely_o that_o malicious_a man_n of_o who_o real_o i_o do_v not_o take_v you_o to_o be_v one_o be_v the_o best_a accuser_n and_o the_o worst_a judge_n and_o indeed_o i_o fear_v it_o will_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o very_a bitter_a truth_n if_o some_o do_v attain_v that_o power_n which_o too_o many_o labour_n for_o in_o these_o day_n in_o which_o schism_n and_o sedition_n be_v take_v to_o be_v no_o sin_n even_o by_o man_n who_o pretend_v a_o tenderness_n of_o conscience_n in_o much_o small_a matter_n and_o that_o i_o may_v keep_v some_o order_n and_o you_o be_v the_o better_o satisfy_v in_o what_o i_o intend_v in_o this_o letter_n i_o earnest_o entreat_v that_o you_o will_v at_o your_o next_o leisure_n read_v in_o mr._n cambdens_n true_a history_n of_o the_o life_n and_o reign_n of_o our_o good_a queen_n elizabeth_n in_o which_o you_o may_v find_v what_o care_n be_v then_o take_v to_o prevent_v schism_n and_o the_o sad_a confusion_n that_o attend_v it_o and_o how_o the_o contriver_n of_o libel_n and_o disperser_n of_o they_o have_v be_v severe_o punish_v many_o of_o they_o even_o to_o death_n as_o namely_o henry_n barrow_n and_o many_o of_o his_o sectary_n for_o disturb_v the_o public_a peace_n of_o the_o nation_n by_o scatter_v abroad_o their_o monstrous_a opinion_n as_o also_o for_o affirm_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v no_o true_a church_n and_o the_o like_a which_o you_o may_v find_v write_v by_o the_o say_a mr._n cambden_n in_o the_o thirty-sixth_a year_n of_o that_o good_a queen_n reign_n but_o i_o commend_v more_o especial_o to_o your_o consideration_n the_o story_n and_o sad_a death_n of_o hacket_n and_o his_o adherent_n as_o namely_o of_o wigirton_n arthington_n and_o copinger_n all_o schismatic_n and_o of_o one_o sect_n and_o brotherhood_n but_o i_o say_v i_o do_v most_o serious_o commend_v to_o your_o consideration_n the_o beginning_n and_o death_n of_o the_o say_v hacket_n who_o be_v first_o a_o pretender_n to_o a_o tenderness_n of_o conscience_n but_o a_o schismatic_a and_o stop_v not_o there_o but_o become_v by_o degree_n so_o full_o possess_v by_o the_o evil_a spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o pride_n and_o opposition_n that_o he_o public_o revile_v the_o queen_n the_o archbishop_z of_o canterbury_n and_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n and_o be_v transport_v with_o a_o furious_a zeal_n do_v at_o last_o become_v from_o a_o schismatic_a to_o be_v so_o infamous_a a_o heretic_n that_o he_o be_v condemn_v to_o death_n for_o his_o abominable_a error_n at_o which_o time_n he_o revile_v and_o curse_v his_o judge_n and_o die_v blaspheme_v and_o reproach_v his_o creator_n this_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o thirty-fourth_a year_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n as_o it_o be_v write_v by_o honest_a learned_a mr._n cambden_n who_o conclude_v this_o sad_a story_n of_o hacket_n with_o this_o observation_n thus_o do_v the_o enemy_n of_o mankind_n bewitch_v those_o man_n who_o he_o see_v be_v not_o content_a to_o be_v wise_a unto_o sobriety_n these_o story_n i_o say_v and_o too_o many_o like_o they_o you_o may_v find_v in_o mr._n cambdens_n history_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o you_o may_v find_v the_o like_a in_o bishop_n spotswoods_n history_n of_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n and_o also_o find_v the_o like_a in_o mr._n fuller_n history_n of_o the_o church_n of_o great_a britain_n in_o which_o you_o may_v observe_v what_o labour_n have_v be_v use_v by_o the_o discontent_a nonconformist_n to_o unsettle_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o state_n and_o may_v there_o also_o find_v how_o severe_o many_o of_o they_o have_v be_v punish_v so_o that_o you_o need_v not_o wonder_v at_o what_o i_o say_v last_o night_n nor_o think_v these_o the_o only_a time_n of_o persecute_v man_n of_o tender_a conscience_n and_o for_o the_o better_a confirmation_n of_o what_o i_o now_o write_v i_o will_v refer_v you_o to_o one_o testimony_n more_o in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o late_a peaceful_a king_n james_n which_o testimony_n you_o may_v view_v in_o the_o second_o volume_n of_o the_o report_n of_o judge_n crook_n a_o man_n very_o learned_a in_o the_o law_n but_o i_o shall_v first_o tell_v you_o the_o occasion_n of_o that_o report_n which_o be_v this_o the_o nonconformist_n which_o be_v in_o that_o report_n call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o puritan_n have_v give_v out_o that_o the_o king_n have_v a_o intent_n to_o set_v up_o or_o give_v a_o toleration_n to_o popery_n and_o they_o have_v also_o compose_v a_o large_a petition_n complain_v of_o the_o severity_n of_o some_o usage_n and_o of_o some_o law_n that_o concern_v themselves_o and_o desire_v that_o the_o severity_n of_o those_o law_n may_v be_v mitigate_v these_o and_o other_o like_a desire_n be_v in_o the_o say_a petition_n to_o which_o they_o have_v procure_v not_o less_o than_o seven_o hundred_o hand_n and_o the_o close_a of_o the_o petition_n be_v that_o if_o these_o desire_n be_v not_o grant_v many_o thousand_o of_o his_o subject_n will_v be_v discontent_v which_o indeed_o be_v not_o a_o threaten_a but_o be_v understand_v to_o be_v somewhat_o like_o it_o this_o report_n of_o his_o majesty_n intent_n to_o set_v up_o or_o tolerate_v popery_n beget_v many_o fear_n and_o discontent_n in_o the_o nation_n and_o to_o prevent_v great_a disturbance_n the_o king_n do_v appoint_v many_o of_o his_o privy_a council_n and_o all_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n to_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o star-chamber_n in_o which_o assembly_n the_o lord_n chancellor_n declare_v to_o they_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o their_o public_a convention_n and_o ask_v the_o judge_n this_o follow_a question_n as_o you_o may_v read_v it_o in_o the_o very_a same_o word_n in_o the_o say_v learned_a judge_n report_v in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n james_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o offence_n punishable_a and_o what_o punishment_n they_o deserve_v who_o frame_v petition_n and_o collect_v a_o multitude_n of_o hand_n thereto_o to_o prefer_v to_o the_o king_n in_o a_o public_a cause_n as_o the_o puritan_n have_v do_v with_o a_o intimation_n to_o the_o king_n that_o if_o he_o deny_v their_o suit_n many_o thousand_o of_o his_o subject_n will_v be_v discontent_v whereto_o all_o the_o judge_n answer_v that_o it_o be_v a_o offence_n finable_a at_o discretion_n and_o very_o near_a treason_n and_o felony_n in_o the_o punishment_n for_o they_o tend_v to_o the_o raise_v sedition_n rebellion_n and_o discontent_n among_o the_o people_n to_o which_o resolution_n all_o the_o lord_n agree_v and_o then_o many_o of_o the_o lord_n declare_v that_o some_o of_o the_o puritan_n have_v raise_v a_o false_a rumour_n of_o the_o king_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o grant_v a_o toleration_n to_o papist_n which_o offence_n the_o judge_n eonceive_v to_o be_v bainous_o finable_a by_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o common_a law_n either_o in_o the_o king_n bench_n or_o by_o the_o king_n and_o his_o council_n or_o now_o since_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o three_o of_o henry_n the_o seven_o in_o the_o star-chamber_n and_o the_o lord_n several_o declare_v how_o much_o

you_o unquestionable_a confirmation_n of_o it_o at_o our_o next_o meeting_n it_o have_v be_v long_o than_o i_o intend_v and_o i_o beg_v your_o pardon_n and_o beg_v you_o also_o to_o consider_v with_o what_o inconsiderable_a zeal_n you_o and_o your_o party_n rush_v into_o schism_n and_o give_v just_a cause_n of_o scandal_n by_o oppose_a government_n and_o affront_a that_o church_n in_o which_o you_o be_v bear_v and_o baptize_v and_o i_o hope_v confirm_v by_o a_o bishop_n i_o think_v the_o do_v so_o require_v your_o sad_a and_o serious_a consideration_n for_o if_o there_o be_v such_o sin_n as_o schism_n and_o scandal_n and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o they_o can_v not_o have_v name_n in_o scripture_n then_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o you_o and_o the_o scruple-monger_n of_o your_o party_n shall_v rush_v into_o they_o without_o any_o tenderness_n or_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n and_o here_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o you_o oppose_v enjoin_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o god_n word_n and_o have_v sum_v up_o in_o her_o creed_n and_o catechism_n what_o be_v necessary_a for_o every_o christian_n to_o know_v and_o
