divers_a of_o your_o own_o order_n and_o expression_n for_o in_o how_o many_o of_o your_o address_n and_o desire_n to_o the_o city_n or_o country_n for_o the_o raise_n of_o money_n man_n or_o horse_n

beseech_v you_o now_o commune_v with_o your_o own_o heart_n how_o they_o have_v discharge_v that_o trust_n and_o perform_v your_o injunction_n and_o in_o your_o thought_n take_v up_o a_o account_n how_o they_o have_v behave_v themselves_o in_o that_o matter_n and_o whether_o they_o have_v not_o be_v exceed_o faithful_a have_v not_o these_o trumpet_n and_o these_o poor_a pitcher_n have_v their_o

so_o express_v it_o prophesy_v you_o up_o a_o army_n the_o witness_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o a_o witness_n of_o they_o be_v in_o your_o own_o bosom_n and_o there_o i_o leave_v the_o consideration_n of_o they_o to_o be_v lay_v to_o heart_n but_o now_o where_o be_v this_o ministry_n of_o england_n that_o have_v be_v so_o faithful_a so_o useful_a to_o the_o cause_n in_o hand_n and_o so_o forward_o to_o forward_o it_o upon_o all_o occasion_n how_o be_v these_o real_a son_n of_o zion_n now_o bring_v low_a despise_a oppress_a and_o tread_v under_o foot_n in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o land_n their_o ministry_n by_o many_o scandal_v for_o antichristian_a their_o person_n vilify_v sometime_o violence_v and_o endanger_v their_o subsistence_n impair_v their_o

of_o england_n have_v do_v for_o you_o and_o what_o other_o have_v do_v to_o it_o and_o than_o consider_v what_o you_o have_v to_o do_v a_o second_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v humble_o recommend_v to_o the_o serious_a and_o sad_a debate_n and_o communication_n of_o your_o heart_n be_v what_o have_v be_v do_v before_o you_o and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o take_v up_o a_o little_a of_o the_o stile_n and_o manner_n of_o expression_n that_o be_v use_v by_o paul_n when_o he_o be_v to_o plead_v his_o case_n before_o agrippa_n act_n 26._o 2._o i_o think_v myself_o happy_a most_o noble_a senate_n that_o since_o my_o lot_n be_v fall_v to_o speak_v unto_o you_o from_o this_o place_n that_o my_o lot_n have_v fall_v upon_o such_o a_o day_n as_o that_o it_o be_v now_o but_o fourteen_o day_n to_o the_o time_n that_o you_o have_v appoint_v to_o humble_v yourselves_o before_o god_n for_o some_o of_o the_o main_a thing_n that_o i_o be_o to_o speak_v about_o i_o know_v that_o they_o that_o be_v resolve_v to_o debate_v of_o these_o matter_n to_o the_o full_a betwixt_o themselves_o and_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o betwixt_o themselves_o and_o god_n on_o that_o day_n will_v patient_o give_v i_o leave_v at_o this_o time_n as_o by_o way_n of_o a_o preparation_n sermon_n to_o speak_v the_o more_o free_o concerning_o those_o thing_n that_o you_o be_v resolve_v that_o day_n to_o be_v humble_v for_o i_o say_v again_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o serious_o commune_v with_o your_o own_o heart_n what_o have_v be_v do_v before_o you_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o one_o of_o the_o sad_a story_n that_o i_o be_o persuade_v be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o record_n or_o in_o any_o experience_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o be_v about_o the_o violation_n of_o our_o covenant_n it_o be_v not_o yet_o four_o year_n since_o we_o enter_v into_o as_o solemn_a a_o covenant_n as_o ever_o do_v nation_n and_o will_v it_o be_v believe_v in_o the_o next_o generation_n if_o our_o guilt_n upon_o it_o do_v not_o make_v it_o too_o evident_a or_o will_v it_o be_v believe_v in_o any_o remote_a part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o fame_n of_o it_o be_v blow_v through_o all_o nation_n that_o in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n after_o so_o solemn_a a_o obligation_n and_o the_o parliament_n that_o bring_v on_o the_o covenant_n sit_v the_o covenant_n shall_v be_v so_o forget_v as_o we_o doleful_o see_v daily_o that_o it_o be_v i_o will_v i_o may_v say_v only_o that_o it_o be_v forget_v for_o if_o it_o be_v forget_v only_o there_o may_v be_v some_o more_o excuse_n but_o it_o be_v set_v up_o as_o a_o sign_n to_o be_v speak_v against_o nay_o a_o sword_n be_v go_v through_o the_o very_a soul_n of_o it_o in_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o violation_n as_o i_o think_v no_o story_n can_v parallel_v i_o shall_v instance_n only_o in_o two_o thing_n 1._o we_o vow_v against_o error_n heresy_n and_o schism_n and_o swear_v to_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n and_o peace_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n to_o extirpate_v they_o and_o to_o root_v they_o out_o these_o stone_n and_o wall_n and_o pillar_n be_v witness_n of_o our_o solemn_a engagement_n and_o now_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v to_o inquire_v what_o we_o have_v do_v according_a to_o this_o vow_n and_o covenant_n i_o be_o amaze_v to_o think_v what_o the_o lord_n will_v find_v among_o we_o will_v he_o not_o find_v ten_o schism_n now_o for_o one_o then_o twenty_o heresy_n now_o for_o one_o at_o that_o time_n and_o forty_o error_n now_o for_o one_o when_o we_o swear_v against_o they_o be_v there_o ever_o more_o palpable_a walk_a contrary_a to_o god_n or_o more_o desperate_a cross_n of_o a_o covenant_n if_o we_o have_v swear_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n to_o have_v promote_v and_o advance_v error_n heresy_n and_o schism_n can_v these_o than_o have_v grow_v and_o come_v forward_o more_o than_o now_o they_o have_v do_v though_o we_o swear_v against_o they_o 2._o and_o so_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o enter_v into_o as_o solemn_a a_o engagement_n for_o reformation_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o this_o be_v the_o joyful_a sound_n that_o stir_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n and_o this_o be_v their_o hope_n five_o or_o six_o year_n ago_o it_o be_v proclaim_v and_o betwixt_o three_o and_o four_o year_n ago_o it_o be_v covenant_v and_o our_o heart_n dance_v
