minister_n accept_v that_o which_o they_o call_v a_o indulgence_n of_o their_o ministry_n without_o any_o public_a testimony_n either_o of_o their_o adherence_n to_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n and_o work_n of_o reformation_n or_o against_o these_o usurpation_n oh_o for_o a_o head_n turn_v into_o water_n &_o eye_n a_o fountain_n of_o tear_n to_o deplore_v day_n &_o night_n such_o a_o indignity_n do_v to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n without_o a_o witness_n and_o such_o shame_n cast_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n our_o father_n for_o far_o less_o matter_n contest_v with_o the_o power_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v continue_v with_o we_o and_o do_v we_o think_v that_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n be_v not_o able_a to_o maintain_v his_o own_o cause_n i_o have_v great_a charity_n for_o most_o of_o the_o man_n who_o i_o suppose_v may_v have_v a_o sting_n in_o the_o bosom_n for_o neglect_v of_o the_o opportunity_n a_o peter_n &_o a_o barnabas_n may_v be_v carry_v away_o at_o a_o time_n to_o and_o by_o a_o dissimulation_n the_o credit_n of_o the_o ministry_n ought_v to_o be_v dear_a to_o we_o but_o the_o credit_n of_o our_o master_n and_o his_o interest_n ought_v to_o be_v dear_a than_o all_o thing_n else_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v indeed_o a_o great_a benefit_n but_o nothing_o hinder_v why_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v not_o have_v heen_fw-mi have_v and_o may_v not_o yet_o be_v have_v without_o a_o pulpit_n and_o a_o stipend_n it_o be_v a_o ill_a make_v bargan_n where_o the_o one_o party_n get_v clear_a gain_n the_o key_n of_o christ_n house_n in_o a_o manner_n deliver_v up_o to_o they_o and_o the_o other_o be_v uncertain_a if_o god_n will_v bless_v a_o ministry_n purchase_v at_o such_o a_o rate_n if_o any_o minister_n have_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o contrive_v or_o procure_v that_o indulgence_n i_o suppose_v they_o have_v do_v more_o mischief_n to_o the_o poor_a church_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o land_n than_o all_o the_o prelate_n and_o all_o their_o hireling_n and_o if_o such_o a_o indulgence_n shall_v be_v offer_v to_o and_o accept_v by_o all_o the_o out_v minister_n of_o the_o land_n without_o a_o public_a testimony_n i_o will_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o the_o most_o dreadful_a presage_n that_o yet_o have_v appear_v of_o the_o lord_n totale_a forsake_v of_o the_o land_n it_o be_v not_o now_o episcopacy_n and_o ceremony_n that_o be_v the_o controversy_n but_o whether_o jesus_n christ_n be_v king_n of_o his_o own_o church_n which_o he_o have_v buy_v with_o his_o blood_n or_o if_o the_o leviathan_n of_o the_o supremacy_n shall_v swallow_v up_o all_o to_o which_o it_o be_v all_o alike_o whether_o it_o have_v prelate_n or_o presbyter_n subservient_fw-fr unto_o it_o only_o it_o must_v rule_v according_a to_o its_o own_o arbitrament_n without_o control_n and_o bring_v forth_o yet_o more_o and_o more_o fruit_n of_o all_o impiety_n and_o profanity_n a_o minister_n that_o can_v preach_v truth_n which_o no_o man_n question_n &_o misken_v this_o grand_a controversy_n or_o speak_v of_o it_o so_o dark_o as_o that_o he_o discover_v he_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v i_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o in_o that_o he_o be_v a_o faithful_a ambassador_n of_o jesus_n christ_n sure_o if_o his_o own_o reputation_n be_v touch_v he_o will_v speak_v in_o a_o more_o piquant_v manner_n and_o his_o master_n honour_n shall_v be_v above_o his_o own_o repute_n a_o bear_v not_o agree_v to_o the_o accommodation_n propound_v be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a evidence_n of_o faithfulness_n at_o such_o a_o time_n satan_n count_v no_o great_a gain_n of_o the_o prelate_n nor_o they_o that_o set_v they_o up_o nor_o they_o that_o follow_v they_o but_o out_v minister_n and_o note_a professor_n will_v be_v a_o great_a prize_n to_o he_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a winnow_v as_o hard_o as_o he_o can_v he_o shall_v get_v none_o that_o belong_v unto_o christ_n o_o how_o sad_a be_v it_o that_o some_o to_o please_v man_n and_o those_o the_o overturner_n of_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n have_v lay_v aside_o that_o useful_a part_n of_o reformation_n and_o uniformity_n the_o expound_v of_o the_o scripture_n former_o practise_v to_o so_o much_o edification_n &_o other_o magle_n it_o so_o as_o it_o be_v as_o good_a to_o forbear_v it_o the_o excuse_n of_o the_o short_a day_n of_o winter_n or_o the_o weakness_n of_o one_o body_n may_v well_o allow_v a_o man_n to_o make_v both_o the_o lecture_n &_o the_o preach_a short_a but_o on_o such_o a_o pretext_n to_o lay_v it_o aside_o especial_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n a_o case_n of_o confession_n i_o fear_v shall_v not_o be_v allow_v before_o the_o righteous_a judge_n if_o it_o be_v say_v better_o have_v preach_v without_o lecture_v nor_o no_o preach_v at_o all_o true_o if_o there_o be_v a_o physical_a impediment_n in_o the_o way_n of_o lecture_a or_o if_o all_o preach_v have_v be_v by_o the_o lord_n astrict_v to_o such_o a_o pulpit_n by_o the_o indulgence_n of_o such_o a_o creature_n but_o when_o man_n come_v to_o spy_v out_o our_o liberty_n which_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n jesus_n that_o they_o may_v bring_v we_o into_o bondage_n and_o will_v inure_v we_o to_o take_v one_o of_o their_o burden_n after_o another_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o give_v place_n by_o subjection_n no_o not_o for_o a_o hour_n for_o by_o such_o argue_v better_o have_v preach_v without_o ever_o cite_v isaiah_n nor_o none_o better_a without_o mention_v the_o decree_n of_o election_n or_o impute_a righteousness_n nor_o none_o at_o all_o alas_o the_o lord_n have_v pour_v on_o we_o the_o spirit_n of_o deep_a sleep_n and_o have_v close_v our_o eye_n our_o prophet_n and_o our_o ruler_n the_o seer_n have_v he_o cover_v o_o what_o a_o deep_a wound_n be_v it_o to_o my_o heart_n to_o hear_v of_o a_o minister_n who_o i_o think_v certain_o have_v both_o true_a grace_n and_o rare_a gift_n that_o he_o so_o far_o comply_v with_o the_o course_n of_o the_o time_n as_o to_o keep_v a_o holy_a day_n appoint_v by_o man_n and_o drink_v about_o the_o bonfire_n what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o those_o thing_n what_o when_o god_n shall_v waken_v the_o conscience_n our_o minister_n be_v our_o glory_n and_o i_o fear_v our_o idol_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v stain_v the_o pride_n of_o our_o glory_n none_o of_o we_o who_o be_v here_o and_o seem_v to_o be_v dissatisfy_v with_o some_o thing_n at_o home_n want_v conviction_n of_o our_o own_o grievous_a miscarriage_n and_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o if_o we_o have_v be_v at_o home_n we_o may_v have_v do_v worse_a than_o any_o other_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a i_o will_v desire_v so_o to_o speak_v for_o christ_n and_o his_o interest_n as_o not_o to_o reflect_v on_o any_o person_n but_o levi's_fw-la duty_n and_o blessing_n lie_v otherways_o i_o profess_v to_o you_o although_o i_o have_v a_o real_a excuse_n of_o my_o inability_n to_o debate_v and_o argue_v without_o which_o the_o propound_v of_o one_o mind_n seem_v too_o dictator_n like_a that_o yet_o i_o have_v apprehension_n that_o my_o not_o write_v to_o some_o friend_n make_v the_o guilt_n of_o

the_o mourning_n of_o haddrimmon_n in_o the_o valley_n of_o megiddon_n i_o shall_v look_v on_o that_o as_o scotland_n great_a delivery_n yea_o it_o be_v to_o be_v most_o earnest_o seek_v from_o the_o
