A88579	A cleare and necessary vindication of the principles and practices of me Christopher Love, since my tryall before, and condemnation by, the High Court of Iustice. Whereby it is manifested, that a close prison, a long sword, a High Court, and a bloody scaffold, have not in the least altered my judgment. Whereas also the cruelty of the sentence, the insufficiency of the proofs, and my own innocency, are demonstrated. As also my grounds and reasons of giving in a narrative, and the lawfulness of the matter and titles of my petitions (though to usurpers) manifested and maintained. Together with a declaration of my judgement concerning Cromwells unlawfull invasion of the kingdom of Scotland. Written by me Christopher Love, Master of Arts, minister of Lawrence Iury, London; penned by me the eighth of August, fourteen days before my death.	Love, Christopher, 1618-1651.	1651 (1651)	Wing L3148; Thomason E790_5; ESTC R202748	58,288	49

dishonourable_a and_o dangerous_a to_o religion_n and_o both_o kingdom_n whereupon_o through_o the_o design_n of_o the_o prelate_n and_o popish_a party_n that_o parliament_n be_v dissolve_v within_o

when_o the_o king_n intend_v to_o wage_v war_n with_o they_o 7._o a_o seven_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o intolerable_a mischief_n sad_a consequence_n and_o unexpressible_a calamity_n

that_o i_o be_v no_o malignant_a i_o do_v put_v this_o clause_n in_o my_o four_o petition_n that_o in_o my_o place_n and_o calling_n i_o shall_v oppose_v all_o malignant_a design_n whether_o in_o this_o or_o the_o neighbour_n nation_n that_o may_v tend_v to_o the_o ruin●_z of_o this_o commonwealth_n somebody_o blot_v out_o the_o word_n malignant_a and_o will_v thereby_o hold_v the_o world_n in_o hand_n as_o if_o i_o shall_v engage_v to_o oppose_v the_o king_n and_o scot_n which_o be_v now_o enter_v england_n which_o be_v far_o from_o my_o heart_n i_o judge_v it_o no_o malignant_a design_n for_o the_o scot_n to_o defend_v their_o nation_n and_o the_o title_n of_o their_o king_n upon_o the_o interest_n of_o religion_n and_o term_n of_o the_o covenant_n this_o be_v a_o honest_a and_o justifiable_a design_n indeed_o mr._n owen_n and_o mr._n bond_n be_v with_o i_o in_o the_o tower_n and_o desire_v i_o to_o put_v it_o out_o but_o i_o tell_v they_o i_o can_v not_o do_v it_o because_o i_o say_v though_o i_o will_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o one_o that_o will_v oppose_v malignant_a design_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o one_o that_o will_v oppose_v the_o honest_a scot_n or_o as_o if_o i_o think_v their_o act_n be_v malignant_a design_n i_o send_v the_o petition_n to_o sheriff_n titchburn_n if_o he_o observe_v it_o he_o will_v justify_v i_o that_o the_o word_n malignant_a be_v in_o the_o petition_n whether_o they_o have_v blot_v out_o any_o thing_n more_o or_o put_v any_o thing_n in_o god_n know_v i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a to_o own_v the_o

and_o calling_n oppose_v any_o malignant_a design_n that_o may_v tend_v to_o their_o ruin_n 2._o i_o desire_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a they_o will_v not_o publish_v the_o deposition_n of_o the_o witness_n in_o court_n but_o the_o private_a examination_n take_v from_o they_o in_o private_a and_o patch_v together_o by_o mr._n scet_fw-la and_o captain_n bishop_n they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o produce_v they_o and_o read_v they_o in_o open_a court_n and_o some_o of_o the_o witness_n have_v so_o much_o honesty_n leave_v as_o to_o dissavow_v they_o in_o open_a court_n believe_v nothing_o belove_v but_o what_o be_v swear_v in_o open_a court_n nor_o all_o that_o neither_o for_o some_o of_o the_o witness_n swear_v false_o as_o i_o make_v appear_v in_o my_o
