and_o discover_v your_o own_o folly_n for_o thus_o you_o see_v a_o pagan_a may_v have_v plead_v against_o israel_n god_n true_a church_n then_o with_o as_o much_o colour_n and_o more_o truth_n than_o you_o that_o be_v call_v a_o christian_a can_v do_v against_o we_o now_o and_o thus_o i_o think_v your_o first_o demand_n be_v sufficient_o answer_v but_o it_o may_v be_v sir_n you_o will_v not_o be_v thus_o satisfy_v without_o your_o particular_n be_v examine_v m._n bolton_n which_o you_o say_v be_v the_o first_o founder_n of_o our_o separation_n hang_v himself_o as_o do_v judas_n well_o prove_v you_o as_o much_o for_o boiton_n as_o i_o do_v for_o judas_n as_o we_o deny_v bolton_n to_o have_v be_v the_o first_o founder_n of_o our_o separation_n so_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o judas_n be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o and_o principall_a publisher_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o be_v number_v with_o the_o apostle_n be_v one_o of_o the_o twelue_fw-mi and_o have_v receive_v fellowship_n in_o their_o ministration_n act._n 1.17_o and_o will_v you_o now_o therefore_o call_v the_o gospel_n and_o christianity_n into_o question_n as_o whether_o it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o no_o because_o this_o judas_n hang_v himself_o if_o not_o what_o weight_n then_o be_v in_o your_o demand_n and_o now_o i_o pray_v you_o sir_n consider_v also_o that_o this_o m._n bolton_n one_o of_o the_o elder_n of_o that_o separate_a church_n where_o of_o m._n fit_n be_v pastor_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n reign_n first_o revolt_v at_o paul_n cross_n fall_v back_o again_o to_o you_o and_o be_v reprove_v &_o excommunicate_v for_o this_o by_o that_o separate_a church_n and_o afterward_o not_o have_v grace_n to_o return_v or_o repent_v hang_v himself_o this_o be_v so_o m._n boltons_n martyrdom_n be_v little_a for_o the_o credit_n of_o your_o cause_n or_o church_n whereof_o he_o die_v a_o member_n the_o second_o you_o say_v total_o recant_v &c._n &c._n and_o this_o you_o note_v to_o be_v brown_a and_o say_v i_o so_o do_v demas_n 2._o tim._n 4.10_o which_o sometime_o be_v a_o fellow-helper_n with_o paul_n as_o well_o as_o luke_n col._n 4.14_o phil._n 2.4_o as_o divers_a other_o in_o all_o age_n have_v do_v who_o love_v this_o present_a world_n more_o than_o god_n can_v it_o not_o therefore_o stand_v with_o your_o like_a sir_n that_o the_o gospel_n which_o christ_n or_o paul_n preach_v can_v in_o any_o probability_n be_v please_v unto_o god_n because_o judas_n hang_v himself_o and_o demas_n total_o recant_v it_o i_o pray_v you_o sir_n consider_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v what_o though_o some_o have_v not_o believe_v or_o be_v unfaithful_a shall_v their_o unfaithfulnesse_n make_v the_o faith_n of_o god_n without_o effect_n god_n forbid_v rom._n 3.3.4_o and_o again_o consider_v i_o pray_v you_o christian_a religion_n be_v at_o a_o low_a ebb_n when_o so_o many_o go_v back_o from_o christ_n that_o he_o say_v to_o the_o twelve_o will_v you_o also_o leave_v i_o joh._n 6.66_o yet_o you_o see_v still_o christianity_n flourish_v and_o we_o to_o our_o exceed_a great_a comfort_n do_v behold_v it_o and_o for_o we_o though_o many_o bad_a one_o have_v go_v a_o way_n yet_o god_n bring_v better_a in_o their_o place_n daily_o and_o thus_o i_o think_v your_o first_o demand_n be_v direct_o and_o distinct_o answer_v as_o you_o desire_v only_o this_o i_o will_v further_o add_v concern_v m._n browne_n that_o he_o have_v so_o leave_v it_o in_o practice_n as_o to_o show_v the_o corruption_n of_o his_o heart_n yet_o so_o hold_v it_o in_o profess_a judgement_n as_o show_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o truth_n still_o uphold_v itself_o in_o so_o evil_a a_o conscience_n who_o profess_v in_o keep_v his_o ministry_n that_o he_o live_v of_o the_o spoil_n of_o babylon_n and_o for_o master_n boulton_n although_o you_o think_v you_o have_v great_a advantage_n against_o we_o in_o his_o case_n &_o some_o other_o who_o have_v fall_v from_o we_o yet_o if_o thing_n be_v right_o consider_v the_o contrary_n will_v appear_v and_o as_o abimelech_n king_n of_o gerar_n when_o he_o reprove_v abraham_n for_o deny_v sarah_n to_o be_v his_o wife_n have_v more_o need_n to_o have_v reprove_v himself_o for_o his_o want_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n &_o of_o common_a humanity_n by_o which_o poor_a abraham_n be_v drive_v to_o that_o straight_o so_o you_o in_o upbraid_v we_o with_o these_o man_n fall_n have_v more_o need_n reprove_v yourselves_o &_o your_o own_o most_o unmerciful_a deal_n towards_o we_o by_o which_o divers_a be_v force_v to_o deny_v the_o truth_n as_o abraham_n do_v his_o wife_n against_o their_o conscience_n whereupon_o follow_v most_o fearful_a despair_n &_o sometime_o such_o woeful_a event_n as_o this_o upon_o boltons_n apostasy_n be_v &_o so_o you_o be_v before_o the_o lord_n make_v guilty_a both_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o body_n &_o of_o the_o soul_n of_o those_o miserable_a man_n and_o whereas_o you_o have_v a_o marginal_a note_n of_o one_o m._n nowell_n in_o warwickeshire_n you_o be_v the_o first_o from_o who_o i_o ever_o hear_v any_o thing_n of_o that_o man_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v all_o that_o i_o can_v say_v if_o he_o be_v not_o full_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n in_o that_o estate_n wherein_o he_o stand_v but_o die_v with_o a_o trouble_a mind_n seek_v the_o truth_n what_o do_v this_o make_v either_o against_o we_o or_o for_o you_o i_o see_v nothing_o let_v wise_a man_n judge_v etc._n etc._n 2_o demand_n your_o second_o demand_n be_v as_o i_o understand_v it_o whether_o our_o profession_n religion_n and_o discipline_n as_o it_o stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o your_o parishassemble_v in_o england_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n can_v be_v of_o god_n or_o have_v any_o approbation_n from_o god_n see_v that_o it_o have_v no_o virtue_n power_n and_o efficacy_n in_o it_o as_o the_o gospel_n preach_v in_o your_o parishassemple_n through_o god_n blessing_n abundant_o have_v to_o win_v convert_v and_o draw_v unto_o our_o party_n and_o profession_n atheist_n papist_n heretic_n rude_a profane_a etc._n etc._n 2_o answer_n to_o this_o your_o demand_n i_o answer_v yea_o our_o profession_n religion_n and_o discipline_n as_o you_o call_v it_o may_v be_v of_o god_n and_o have_v approbation_n from_o god_n though_o not_o convert_v any_o such_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v approve_v in_o his_o word_n it_o be_v enough_o though_o we_o have_v not_o convert_v any_o at_o all_o and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o as_o also_o for_o further_a answer_n to_o your_o demand_n consider_v this_o that_o follow_v your_o demand_n be_v like_a as_o if_o a_o cananite_n shall_v thus_o have_v demand_v of_o noah_n gen._n 6._o can_v this_o thy_o ark_n building_n be_v of_o god_n or_o have_v any_o approbation_n from_o god_n see_v that_o in_o all_o this_o time_n there_o appear_v neither_o virtue_n power_n nor_o efficacy_n to_o win_v convert_v and_o draw_v unto_o thy_o party_n any_o at_o all_o for_o thou_o can_v hardly_o show_v any_o one_o person_n convert_v unto_o thou_o by_o thy_o preach_n or_o ark_n build_v these_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o year_n what_o think_v you_o sir_n can_v noah_n his_o ark_n building_n be_v of_o god_n or_o have_v any_o &c_n &c_n also_o i_o pray_v you_o sir_n consider_v with_o yourself_o what_o answer_n you_o will_v have_v make_v if_o any_o of_o your_o morris-dancing_a papist_n or_o profane_a atheist_n with_o who_o you_o but_o late_o be_v much_o cumber_v shall_v have_v demand_v the_o like_a of_o you_o your_o administration_n and_o ministerial_a office_n have_v so_o little_a virtue_n power_n and_o efficacy_n in_o it_o among_o they_o that_o you_o be_v glad_a to_o leave_v they_o unconvert_v &_o come_v away_o from_o they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v they_o deem_v your_o ministry_n not_o to_o be_v of_o god_n nor_o to_o have_v any_o approbation_n from_o god_n and_o you_o yourself_o also_o peradventure_o think_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o see_v also_o
