judge_n that_o you_o have_v make_v he_o who_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o a_o pretence_n for_o the_o shed_n of_o so_o much_o blood_n as_o have_v be_v and_o probable_o will_v be_v spill_v if_o it_o shall_v chance_v man_n eye_n shall_v be_v open_v and_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v acknowledge_v a_o unlawful_a cause_n of_o war_n who_o can_v you_o expect_v that_o those_o poor_a soul_n who_o have_v die_v in_o the_o very_a gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o rancour_n of_o rebellion_n shall_v curse_v but_o such_o minister_n as_o you_o who_o have_v tell_v they_o but_o most_o false_o that_o such_o a_o way_n of_o expose_v themselves_o to_o death_n be_v not_o only_o acceptable_a but_o absolute_o command_v by_o christ_n himself_o sure_o sir_n war_n be_v a_o business_n of_o so_o infinite_o deep_a concernment_n that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v undertake_v but_o upon_o ground_n evident_o lawful_a and_o warrantable_a a_o war_n therefore_o for_o religion_n and_o against_o a_o lawful_a superior_a against_o who_o the_o gospel_n so_o apparent_o forbid_v resistance_n must_v be_v prove_v lawful_a at_o least_o by_o as_o many_o and_o evident_a text_n as_o those_o be_v which_o seem_v to_o discommand_n it_o o_o sir_n where_o be_v those_o text_n why_o be_v not_o one_o gospel_n quotation_n produce_v for_o this_o purpose_n not_o one_o master_n martial_n not_o one_o single_a one_o that_o to_o any_o think_v consider_v christian_a will_v seem_v of_o any_o kind_n of_o moment_n at_o all_o be_v it_o incogitancy_n or_o ignorance_n in_o you_o minister_n that_o there_o be_v such_o want_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o these_o point_n no_o certain_o it_o be_v mere_a guilt_n or_o rather_o a_o clear_a confession_n that_o you_o can_v find_v nothing_o in_o the_o gospel_n whereby_o the_o professor_n thereof_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o defend_v it_o this_o way_n however_o let_v it_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o lawfulness_n hereof_o may_v be_v maintain_v in_o some_o possible_a case_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o patience_n so_o oft_o command_v and_o bless_v by_o christ_n be_v at_o least_o a_o lawful_a thing_n to_o be_v practise_v too_o now_o that_o you_o say_v religion_n and_o truth_n be_v persecute_v and_o if_o patience_n against_o any_o persecutor_n certain_o then_o against_o a_o lawful_a king_n when_o he_o turn_v persecutor_n how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o neither_o you_o nor_o any_o of_o your_o party_n shall_v exhort_v man_n to_o patience_n or_o martyrdom_n now_o be_v it_o out_o of_o conscience_n that_o you_o dare_v not_o will_v not_o the_o gospel_n warrant_v such_o exhortation_n think_v you_o for_o shame_v sir_n let_v it_o be_v confess_v at_o last_o that_o whatsoever_o other_o pretence_n may_v seem_v specious_a and_o popular_a yet_o that_o this_o of_o religion_n which_o notwithstanding_o bolster_v up_o all_o other_o and_o when_o the_o rest_n fail_v recruit_n many_o of_o your_o decay_a regiment_n yet_o that_o this_o i_o say_v be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v this_o war_n lawful_a that_o itself_o be_v more_o unlawful_a than_o the_o war_n but_o if_o christian_a religion_n may_v be_v thus_o defend_v must_v discipline_n therefore_o be_v so_o defend_v must_v no_o cross_v no_o kneel_v no_o ceremony_n no_o prescribe_a prayer_n be_v so_o defend_v or_o at_o last_o speak_v out_o plain_a english_a in_o this_o point_n too_o be_v it_o indeed_o the_o english_a protestant_a religion_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o you_o will_v thus_o defend_v why_o do_v the_o king_n ever_o persecute_v the_o religion_n of_o the_o kingdom_n do_v he_o ever_o or_o any_o by_o his_o command_n burn_v the_o liturgy_n damn_v the_o article_n and_o canon_n abominate_a the_o homily_n of_o the_o church_n do_v his_o soldier_n tear_v surplice_n and_o threaten_v to_o murder_v the_o wearer_n of_o they_o for_o stark_a shame_n then_o say_v not_o that_o you_o defend_v the_o establish_a english_a protestant_a religion_n against_o the_o king_n that_o king_n who_o scarce_o ever_o be_v once_o absent_a from_o his_o own_o solemn_a prayer_n and_o sermon_n by_o the_o way_n remember_v master_n martial_n your_o uncharitable_a suspicion_n your_o unreasonable_a groundless_a declamation_n against_o his_o majesty_n in_o this_o point_n of_o religion_n be_v yet_o far_o more_o unexcusable_a than_o before_o but_o to_o take_v the_o mask_n quite_o from_o off_o your_o face_n remember_v that_o this_o king_n who_o you_o know_v to_o be_v so_o constant_a a_o lover_n of_o the_o religion_n wherein_o he_o be_v breed_v yet_o this_o king_n in_o a_o charitable_a religious_a compliance_n with_o you_o offer_v to_o yield_v to_o any_o reasonable_a alteration_n and_o to_o take_v away_o whatsoever_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n may_v seem_o be_v offensive_a to_o tender_a conscience_n only_o i_o believe_v he_o will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o have_v that_o expose_v unto_o the_o world_n for_o the_o confess_a religion_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o shall_v be_v agree_v upon_o by_o a_o assembly_n over-vote_v or_o overawe_v by_o such_o as_o profess_v themselves_o at_o least_o stranger_n if_o not_o enemy_n to_o this_o church_n for_o let_v the_o effect_n of_o such_o a_o meeting_n be_v what_o it_o will_v it_o can_v be_v call_v the_o religion_n of_o england_n it_o be_v but_o at_o most_o a_o religion_n for_o england_n therefore_o for_o god_n sake_n let_v the_o king_n be_v style_v in_o this_o war_n not_o a_o invader_n but_o only_o as_o it_o be_v apparent_a he_o indeed_o be_v a_o defender_n rob_v he_o not_o of_o the_o title_n of_o his_o crown_n for_o do_v he_o take_v up_o arms_n either_o for_o any_o new_a addition_n to_o his_o former_a prerogative_n for_o any_o new_a law_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o subject_n liberty_n or_o for_o any_o new_a article_n of_o religion_n which_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o introduce_v by_o the_o sword_n will_v he_o infringe_v any_o old_a law_n or_o privilege_n or_o article_n have_v not_o you_o force_v he_o to_o unsheathe_v his_o sword_n mere_o to_o prevent_v innovation_n in_o all_o these_o which_o be_v then_o the_o invade_v and_o which_o be_v the_o defend_a side_n if_o you_o be_v sick_a enough_o to_o be_v wean_v from_o worldly_a respect_n i_o shall_v not_o desire_v a_o fit_a person_n to_o answer_v this_o question_n now_o these_o be_v sir_n the_o principal_a head_n or_o article_n of_o crime_n of_o most_o of_o which_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v i_o doubt_v and_o i_o hope_v in_o christ_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v find_v uncharitable_a though_o i_o shall_v chance_v to_o be_v mistake_v that_o you_o m._n martial_n be_v guilty_a for_o christ_n his_o sake_n think_v sad_o on_o they_o and_o advise_v with_o some_o grave_n and_o holy_a man_n of_o our_o clergy_n as_o well_o as_o your_o own_o such_o as_o be_v m._n shute_n d._n oldsworth_n etc._n etc._n these_o be_v matter_n sir_n that_o certain_o deserve_v all_o possible_a examination_n and_o you_o who_o i_o believe_v will_v not_o trust_v a_o ignorant_a lawyer_n though_o your_o friend_n and_o fellow_n sectary_n about_o your_o estate_n you_o shall_v in_o reason_n at_o least_o be_v as_o careful_a of_o your_o soul_n and_o withal_o i_o pray_v you_o take_v this_o also_o into_o your_o consideration_n that_o if_o you_o prove_v indeed_o guilty_a of_o these_o thing_n as_o i_o must_v fear_v your_o be_v then_o if_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o god_n shall_v deal_v so_o merciful_o with_o you_o as_o to_o convince_v you_o of_o they_o and_o to_o give_v you_o repentance_n for_o they_o it_o will_v be_v likewise_o most_o necessary_a that_o you_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o satisfy_v god_n church_n for_o this_o extreme_a scandal_n give_v by_o profess_v your_o repentance_n and_o attempt_v to_o undeceive_v other_o and_o who_o know_v whether_o since_o those_o crime_n how_o fearful_a soever_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n yet_o be_v the_o effect_n chief_o of_o ill_a education_n and_o prejudice_n in_o your_o judgement_n not_o christ_n or_o want_v of_o love_n to_o he_o who_o know_v i_o say_v whether_o almighty_a god_n may_v not_o be_v please_v to_o accept_v of_o even_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n for_o they_o i_o hope_v sir_n you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o write_v or_o cause_n to_o be_v write_v some_o few_o word_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o for_o so_o much_o methinks_v charity_n back_o again_o to_o i_o who_o
