we_o bear_v the_o mark_n of_o true_a religion_n and_o by_o this_o badge_n be_v know_v to_o be_v christ_n disciple_n if_o we_o love_v our_o enemy_n christ_n command_v we_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n

and_o pray_v as_o christ_n himself_o do_v that_o all_o the_o king_n majesty_n subject_n may_v be_v make_v one_o in_o christ_n to_o acknowledge_v all_o one_o god_n to_o embrace_v all_o one_o faith_n to_o live_v under_o the_o rule_n of_o one_o law_n and_o so_o to_o agree_v if_o it_o may_v be_v in_o will_n and_o affection_n that_o we_o may_v be_v all_o cor_fw-la unum_fw-la &_o anima_fw-la una_fw-la one_o hart_n and_o one_o soul_n and_o this_o we_o both_o agree_v to_o be_v best_a not_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o soul_n health_n and_o eternal_a salvation_n but_o also_o for_o the_o civil_a

he_o not_o to_o be_v account_v a_o good_a governor_n or_o right_a politician_n in_o our_o last_o assembly_n at_o london_n it_o be_v our_o prayer_n as_o you_o may_v well_o remember_v that_o the_o king_n majesty_n exalt_v to_o so_o great_a a_o monarchy_n and_o government_n of_o so_o many_o kingdom_n diverse_o sort_v and_o affect_v in_o religion_n may_v have_v that_o gracious_a virtue_n of_o the_o adamant_n stone_n to_o draw_v unto_o he_o and_o win_v to_o unity_n in_o faith_n the_o people_n of_o diverse_a nation_n so_o commit_v to_o his_o charge_n for_o who_o of_o we_o all_o do_v not_o desire_n from_o his_o hart_n that_o the_o protestant_n and_o papist_n of_o england_n which_o be_v many_o in_o number_n &_o the_o papist_n of_o ireland_n where_o there_o be_v few_o or_o none_o other_o and_o the_o nobility_n of_o scotland_n of_o the_o which_o no_o small_a number_n inclyne_v that_o way_n will_v come_v with_o we_o to_o the_o pure_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n &_o to_o our_o reform_a church_n you_o remember_v the_o profession_n of_o faith_n which_o to_o this_o intent_n and_o purpose_n we_o procure_v to_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o print_n at_o his_o majesty_n first_o ingress_n into_o this_o realm_n but_o it_o prevail_v not_o and_o have_v it_o not_o be_v the_o respect_n be_v bear_v his_o majesty_n it_o have_v be_v control_v as_o it_o be_v mislike_v both_o by_o the_o protestant_n &_o papist_n and_o since_o that_o to_o further_a &_o advance_v our_o cause_n and_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o same_o purpose_n we_o have_v in_o peaceable_a manner_n do_v what_o in_o we_o lie_v let_v we_o hold_v on_o the_o same_o moderate_a course_n and_o strive_v to_o prevail_v not_o by_o the_o temporal_a sword_n of_o his_o majesty_n power_n but_o endevoure_v to_o overcome_v by_o the_o eternal_a sword_n of_o god_n holy_a word_n which_o though_o it_o be_v sweet_a and_o not_o violent_a yet_o be_v it_o a_o two_o edge_a sword_n that_o cut_v on_o every_o side_n and_o pierce_v more_o diep_o to_o win_v the_o hart_n of_o man_n and_o alter_v his_o understanding_n for_o plant_v the_o gospel_n than_o any_o humane_a force_n whatsoever_o i_o agree_v further_o with_o you_o that_o as_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o good_a husbandry_n to_o weed_n the_o corne-fielde_n before_o the_o weed_n have_v overgrowen_v the_o corn_n so_o likewise_o may_v his_o majesty_n employ_v his_o temporal_a sword_n that_o no_o cockle_n be_v sow_v or_o rise_v in_o the_o field_n of_o the_o lord_n church_n under_o his_o protection_n and_o that_o such_o as_o begin_v to_o spring_v up_o may_v be_v time_n be_v cut_n of_o in_o matutino_fw-la interficiebam_fw-la omnes_fw-la peccatores_fw-la terrae_fw-la so_o do_v that_o holy_a king_n david_n &_o please_a god_n high_o there_o with_o thus_o much_o your_o argument_n do_v prove_v sufficient_o for_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o king_n bear_v the_o sword_n to_o destroy_v all_o sin_n &_o sinner_n in_o matutino_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v betimes_o while_o sin_n &_o sinful_a error_n be_v new_o bud_v &_o may_v be_v cut_n of_o without_o hurt_n and_o damage_n to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o good_a and_o faithful_a and_o it_o be_v our_o part_n to_o be_v watchful_a to_o discover_v they_o betimes_o lest_o if_o we_o sleep_v too_o long_o they_o spring_v so_o high_a and_o spread_v so_o far_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v then_o attempt_v to_o pull_v they_o up_o shall_v destroy_v much_o corn_n withal_o &_o do_v more_o harm_n then_o good_a this_o then_o be_v the_o point_n whearein_o we_o jar_n you_o think_v it_o needful_a that_o the_o k._n majesty_n proceed_v to_o authorise_v and_o establish_v our_o religion_n by_o the_o sword_n to_o repress_v all_o other_o sect_n by_o severity_n of_o law_n such_o as_o wear_v practise_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o late_a queen_n against_o we_o and_o against_o the_o papist_n and_o i_o contrariwise_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o such_o law_n and_o severity_n be_v in_o our_o case_n unprofitable_a and_o will_v hurt_v rather_o than_o help_v the_o advancement_n of_o our_o cause_n and_o i_o take_v this_o my_o advice_n to_o be_v better_o ground_v than_o you_o in_o the_o write_a word_n to_o approach_v near_o to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o course_n of_o god_n divine_a providence_n to_o be_v more_o conformable_a to_o christian_a humanity_n to_o beseem_v better_o our_o prince_n for_o the_o assurance_n of_o his_o estate_n and_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o noble_a issue_n and_o final_o to_o agree_v best_a with_o true_a civil_a policy_n for_o the_o sweet_a peace_n rest_n and_o repose_v of_o this_o our_o republic_n and_o increase_n thereof_o as_o shall_v appear_v by_o the_o experience_n we_o have_v see_v with_o our_o own_o eye_n &_o in_o these_o our_o day_n as_o well_o in_o his_o majesty_n dominion_n as_o in_o all_o nation_n round_o about_o us._n that_o we_o have_v sleep_v too_o long_o all_o writer_n agree_v &_o that_o for_o many_o hundred_o year_n for_o who_o of_o we_o do_v not_o see_v that_o the_o weed_n have_v overgrowen_v the_o good_a corn_n take_v so_o deep_a root_n
