the_o undeceiver_n london_n print_v for_o samuel_n gellibrand_n and_o be_v to_o be_v sell_v at_o his_o shop_n at_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o brazen-serpent_n in_o paul_n churchyard_n 1643._o the_o undeceiver_n all_o neuter_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o enmity_n and_o therefore_o in_o a_o accurse_a condition_n he_o that_o be_v not_o with_o i_o be_v against_o i_o say_v our_o saviour_n luke_n 11._o 23._o and_o curse_v you_o meroz_n say_v the_o angel_n curse_v they_o bitter_o because_o they_o come_v not_o to_o the_o help_n of_o the_o lord_n against_o the_o mighty_a judge_n 5._o 23._o solon_n make_v a_o law_n that_o in_o such_o unnatural_a division_n as_o we_o be_v too_o well_o acquaint_v with_o all_o that_o will_v not_o apply_v themselves_o to_o one_o side_n or_o other_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n because_o they_o will_v not_o adventure_v their_o private_a person_n for_o the_o public_a good_a for_o man_n not_o to_o declare_v themselves_o at_o such_o a_o time_n be_v not_o account_v moderation_n but_o treachery_n because_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o evident_a that_o man_n of_o that_o strain_n do_v but_o wait_v for_o a_o opportunity_n to_o advance_v themselves_o and_o betray_v the_o commonwealth_n by_o go_v over_o to_o the_o strong_a side_n as_o some_o have_v late_o do_v since_o the_o take_n of_o bristol_n pity_v it_o be_v that_o solon_n law_n be_v not_o in_o force_n but_o there_o be_v divers_a who_o be_v startle_v out_o of_o their_o neutrality_n and_o indifferency_n who_o be_v still_o at_o their_o wit_n end_n and_o know_v not_o which_o side_n to_o take_v if_o they_o take_v part_n with_o the_o parliament_n they_o be_v afraid_a they_o shall_v resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o if_o they_o go_v over_o to_o the_o king_n and_o queen_n they_o be_v afraid_a they_o shall_v join_v with_o those_o who_o labour_v to_o overthrow_v the_o church_n and_o kingdom_n by_o bring_v in_o of_o popery_n and_o slavery_n both_o at_o once_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o these_o ignorant_a and_o perplex_a soul_n it_o concern_v they_o to_o peruse_v the_o parliamentary-covenant_n and_o the_o court-covenant_n for_o one_o of_o these_o covenant_n must_v now_o be_v take_v by_o every_o man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n the_o court-covenant_n first_o for_o the_o court-covenant_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o it_o to_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o princely_a truth_n and_o goodness_n of_o prince_n rupert_n or_o prince_n maurice_n who_o have_v a_o great_a command_n in_o the_o army_n than_o his_o majesty_n himself_o 2._o we_o be_v not_o yet_o assure_v of_o the_o queen_n truth_n and_o goodness_n nor_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o goodness_n of_o those_o papist_n english_a and_o irish_a who_o vow_n and_o swear_v that_o they_o will_v maintain_v the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n 3._o we_o can_v be_v assure_v much_o less_o rest_n assure_v and_o full_o assure_v of_o his_o majesty_n princely_a truth_n who_o have_v break_v so_o many_o solemn_a protestation_n nor_o of_o his_o goodness_n who_o set_v his_o hand_n and_o seal_v to_o such_o unmerciful_a and_o bloody_a commission_n witness_v that_o commission_n never_o to_o be_v forget_v which_o be_v send_v to_o tompkins_n the_o queen_n agent_n to_o bear_v he_o and_o his_o fellow_n out_o in_o a_o plot_n as_o black_a as_o that_o of_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n second_o moreover_o every_o man_n that_o take_v the_o court-covenant_n must_v say_v i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o raise_n and_o employ_v of_o force_n by_o his_o majesty_n for_o the_o purpose_n and_o cause_n before_o mention_v to_o be_v most_o just_a and_o necessary_a but_o all_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o king_n do_v raise_v and_o do_v employ_v all_o his_o force_n and_o the_o queen_n for_o the_o purpose_n aforesaid_a that_o be_v the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n or_o rather_o it_o be_v out_o of_o question_n that_o he_o do_v not_o employ_v they_o to_o that_o purpose_n three_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o the_o cavalier_n negro_n welsh_a and_o irish_a etc._n etc._n shall_v endeavour_v to_o procure_v the_o re-establishment_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v help_v his_o majesty_n subject_n to_o recover_v nay_o enjoy_v their_o liberty_n and_o property_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n for_o they_o imprison_v the_o person_n of_o good_a subject_n be_v that_o the_o way_n to_o help_v they_o to_o their_o liberty_n they_o take_v away_o their_o estate_n be_v that_o the_o way_n to_o make_v they_o enjoy_v their_o property_n and_o be_v all_o this_o do_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n four_o they_o vow_v that_o they_o will_v not_o hinder_v or_o prejudice_v the_o design_n of_o his_o majesty_n in_o the_o conduct_n or_o employment_n of_o his_o army_n now_o what_o design_n his_o majesty_n have_v upon_o bristol_n last_o march_n and_o what_o design_n he_o have_v upon_o london_n but_o the_o other_o day_n be_v well_o know_v and_o shall_v any_o man_n bind_v himself_o from_o hinder_v such_o black_a and_o bloody_a design_n nay_o bind_v himself_o by_o a_o covenant_n make_v with_o god_n from_o hinder_v design_n so_o extreme_o displease_v to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n let_v even_o heathen_n judge_v in_o this_o particular_a for_o it_o be_v against_o the_o very_a light_n of_o nature_n to_o promote_v this_o unnatural_a war_n and_o such_o unchristian_a nay_o inhuman_a and_o barbarous_a design_n five_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o any_o englishman_n shall_v believe_v that_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n be_v not_o bind_v by_o any_o order_n or_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n for_o a_o order_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o do_v oblige_v all_o the_o commons_o of_o england_n and_o a_o ordinance_n of_o lord_n and_o commons_o do_v oblige_v all_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n six_o it_o be_v beyond_o admiration_n that_o the_o roister_n or_o cavalier_n vow_v that_o they_o will_v not_o obey_v any_o act_n or_o declaration_n make_v by_o the_o king_n majesty_n sole_o which_o be_v not_o according_a to_o some_o know_a law_n custom_n of_o the_o realm_n or_o statute_n enact_v by_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o in_o parliament_n when_o as_o their_o take_n up_o of_o arm_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o such_o as_o be_v quiet_a in_o the_o land_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o to_o all_o enact_a custom_n as_o shall_v be_v show_v anon_o nay_o sure_a they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o prove_v that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o custom_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o the_o parliament_n we_o need_v not_o put_v they_o to_o prove_v that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o legal_a custom_n final_o though_o the_o covenant_n do_v declare_v but_o now_o that_o a_o declaration_n make_v by_o the_o king_n majesty_n sole_o do_v not_o oblige_v yet_o here_o in_o the_o close_a there_o be_v a_o shrewd_a intimation_n that_o his_o maj●st●es_n warrant_n be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v a_o man_n bear_v of_o arm_n their_o practice_n do_v declare_v their_o intention_n for_o if_o they_o have_v but_o the_o king_n warrant_n they_o present_o take_v up_o arm_n and_o be_v not_o so_o vain_a to_o stay_v till_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o give_v they_o leave_v to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o the_o parliament_n but_o as_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v in_o frame_v a_o covenant_n a_o parliament-captain_n may_v assent_v to_o the_o last_o word_n of_o the_o covenant_n for_o he_o that_o take_v up_o arm_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o parliament_n do_v take_v up_o arm_n by_o authority_n just_o derive_v from_o his_o majesty_n immediate_a warrant_n for_o they_o be_v his_o majesty_n high_a court_n and_o council_n call_v by_o his_o majesty_n writ_n and_o what_o they_o do_v as_o the_o supreme_a court_n they_o do_v by_o the_o king_n own_o authority_n so_o much_o for_o the_o court-covenant_n take_v by_o the_o roister_n cavalier_n papist_n delinquent_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o king_n army_n and_o by_o too_o many_o simple_a and_o cowardly_a man_n who_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o army_n of_o the_o king_n or_o queen_n the_o parliamentary-covenant_n in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v give_v clear_a satisfaction_n to_o such_o objection_n as_o be_v urge_v against_o the_o parliamentary-covenant_n some_o stumble_v at_o the_o penitential_a other_o at_o the_o civil_a part_n of_o the_o covenant_n first_o they_o say_v they_o be_v not_o prepare_v to_o enter_v into_o so_o strict_a a_o covenant_n to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v 1._o that_o they_o have_v above_o twice_o as_o much_o time_n give_v they_o to_o prepare_v as_o be_v usual_o give_v to_o prepare_v for_o the_o sacrament_n 2._o our_o covenant_n of_o reformation_n be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o enter_v into_o this_o covenant_n presume_v upon_o our_o own_o but_o trust_v upon_o the_o free_a and_o
