the_o reason_n of_o his_o disobedience_n be_v not_o unlawfulness_n but_o wilfulness_n take_v heed_n therefore_o how_o your_o enmity_n to_o the_o government_n send_v you_o a_o hunt_n for_o something_o to_o make_v the_o command_v of_o your_o governor_n seem_v disputable_a 3._o be_v well_o content_v to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o your_o own_o conscience_n concern_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o what_o be_v

persuade_v and_o think_v it_o to_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o do_v in_o obedience_n to_o their_o governor_n what_o you_o dare_v not_o do_v it_o be_v a_o uncharitable_a censure_n to_o say_v that_o

this_o spirit_n of_o strife_n and_o rash_a censure_v seem_v to_o show_v itself_o in_o some_o late_a write_n wherein_o the_o author_n forget_v what_o they_o promise_v a_o bare_a vindication_n of_o or_o

strife_n which_o i_o will_v fain_o hope_v they_o to_o be_v better_a christian_n then_o to_o make_v their_o design_n however_o let_v we_o study_v that_o heal_a rule_n the_o apostle_n give_v rom._n
