do_v what_o you_o can_v it_o will_v slip_v through_o your_o finger_n as_o think_v to_o rule_v this_o nation_n without_o a_o strait_a church-government_n even_o such_o a_o government_n as_o your_o army_n have_v and_o that_o due_o and_o diligent_o it_o be_v execute_v upon_o offender_n but_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o government_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o they_o be_v but_o as_o man_n that_o beat_v for_o volunteer_n and_o that_o listen_v man_n to_o go_v into_o a_o strange_a island_n which_o can_v prescribe_v absolute_a law_n for_o they_o whilst_o they_o remain_v in_o their_o own_o native_a land_n but_o when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o the_o intend_a island_n than_o they_o have_v law_n give_v they_o which_o if_o they_o transgress_v they_o must_v suffer_v according_o though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o death_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o plain_o in_o your_o own_o military_a language_n the_o apostle_n be_v as_o man_n when_o at_o first_o they_o be_v raise_v a_o army_n who_o put_v their_o soldier_n immediate_o in_o company_n under_o some_o inferior_a officer_n and_o there_o they_o let_v they_o rest_v a_o while_n yet_o it_o be_v then_o intend_a that_o the_o soldier_n shall_v not_o remain_v so_o always_o but_o the_o intent_n be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o general_n in_o chief_a over_o they_o beside_o colonel_n and_o major_n and_o a_o complete_a government_n among_o they_o so_o likewise_o when_o the_o church_n at_o first_o by_o the_o apostle_n be_v in_o gather_v and_o put_v under_o such_o government_n as_o then_o be_v persecute_v they_o best_o can_v do_v they_o doubtless_o then_o intend_v for_o it_o a_o government_n that_o shall_v be_v complete_a even_o such_o a_o government_n as_o we_o have_v not_o long_o since_o here_o in_o england_n therefore_o stand_v for_o church_n government_n and_o for_o charles_n stuart_n or_o else_o you_o can_v stand_v proclaim_v he_o speedy_o lest_o some_o parliament-man_n do_v it_o before_o you_o and_o then_o you_o be_v undo_v for_o that_o party_n which_o proclaim_v the_o king_n now_o shall_v increase_v like_o a_o snowball_n and_o i_o tear_v all_o that_o you_o can_v do_v shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o dissolve_v it_o my_o lord_n the_o people_n general_o look_v upon_o you_o now_o as_o one_o that_o can_v show_v no_o colour_n for_o your_o authority_n to_o rule_v they_o for_o since_o the_o last_o parliament_n disown_v you_o who_o we_o look_v upon_o as_o honest_a man_n all_o do_v disow_v you_o and_o the_o most_o judicious_a say_v that_o nothing_o will_v bring_v you_o into_o favour_n with_o they_o again_o but_o your_o speedy_a restore_n of_o the_o church_n and_o king_n oh_o do_v not_o let_v your_o adversary_n prevail_v against_o you_o through_o your_o neglect_n you_o know_v samson_n sleep_v so_o long_o upon_o dalilah_n knee_n until_o his_o lock_n be_v cut_v off_o that_o when_o he_o poor_a man_n awake_v and_o think_v to_o go_v out_o and_o prevail_v as_o at_o other_o time_n alas_o he_o be_v soon_o overcome_v and_o have_v his_o eye_n put_v out_o and_o be_v put_v to_o grind_v in_o a_o mill_n like_v as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o founder_a blind_a horse_n judg._n 16._o 19_o 20_o 21._o so_o these_o colonel_n dally_v with_o you_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o cut_v off_o your_o lock_n in_o the_o army_n and_o they_o know_v already_o that_o they_o have_v more_o of_o the_o army_n on_o their_o side_n than_o you_o have_v beside_o their_o furious_a party_n abroad_o else_o will_v they_o not_o be_v so_o bold_a with_o you_o as_o they_o be_v they_o say_v treason_n never_o prosper_v and_o why_o because_o if_o it_o prosper_v none_o dare_v call_v it_o treason_n therefore_o what_o be_v law_n to_o day_n may_v be_v treason_n to_o morrow_n i_o know_v there_o be_v no_o truth_n among_o the_o sectary_n but_o that_o of_o the_o anabaptist_n which_o do_v all_o for_o rebaptise_v be_v a_o truth_n as_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v by_o scripture_n by_o reason_n by_o ancient_a record_n and_o by_o saint_n augustine_n own_o confession_n but_o their_o denial_n of_o infant_n baptism_n by_o their_o surety_n be_v a_o error_n as_o i_o have_v and_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v with_o as_o full_a proof_n at_o large_a therefore_o the_o cause_n as_o we_o call_v it_o be_v a_o controversy_n which_o god_n have_v with_o his_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n mic._n 6.2_o and_o though_o he_o give_v they_o into_o your_o hand_n for_o a_o time_n do_v not_o you_o go_v as_o the_o heathen_a do_v go_v beyond_o their_o commission_n in_o afflict_v god_n people_n zech._n 1.15_o 16._o my_o lord_n to_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o people_n be_v so_o abase_v now_o through_o the_o fear_n of_o you_o that_o they_o will_v maintain_v your_o 30000_o man_n beside_o the_o great_a navy_n and_o a_o great_a court_n for_o you_o at_o their_o own_o cost_n and_o charge_n whereas_o they_o know_v that_o by_o their_o exchange_v you_o for_o king_n charles_n they_o shall_v be_v free_v from_o all_o that_o cost_n and_o charge_n judge_n with_o reason_n be_v it_o wisdom_n for_o you_o to_o think_v so_o for_o then_o the_o king_n revenue_n and_o church-revenue_n run_v in_o their_o own_o channel_n again_o will_v make_v the_o people_n as_o free_v from_o tax_n as_o they_o be_v before_o these_o trouble_n begin_v and_o many_o that_o have_v buy_v of_o the_o king_n and_o bishop_n land_n to_o my_o knowledge_n be_v so_o honest_a wish_v it_o be_v come_v to_o that_o pass_n though_o they_o shall_v lose_v their_o money_n by_o it_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v be_v tell_v by_o discreet_a man_n of_o all_o part_n in_o england_n which_o be_v no_o enemy_n to_o you_o and_o therefore_o they_o bid_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o they_o perceive_v there_o will_v be_v a_o sudden_a general_n rase_v against_o you_o at_o one_o day_n and_o hour_n in_o all_o the_o county_n of_o england_n and_o by_o vision_n also_o and_o scripture_n it_o be_v confirm_v to_o i_o that_o it_o will_v be_v so_o if_o you_o do_v not_o prevent_v it_o by_o the_o speedy_a proclaim_n of_o charles_n stuart_n it_o be_v true_a jeremiah_n be_v favourable_o use_v by_o zedekiah_n and_o so_o be_v i_o by_o you_o therefore_o jeremiah_n show_v he_o the_o way_n how_o to_o save_v himself_o his_o city_n and_o family_n and_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v well_o please_v with_o it_o but_o notwithstanding_o zedekiah_n go_v in_o his_o own_o way_n to_o do_v it_o and_o you_o see_v what_o become_v of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o city_n and_o family_n jer._n 38._o &_o jer._n 39_o and_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v that_o if_o the_o country_n will_v not_o pay_v the_o assessment_n as_o i_o hear_v many_o say_v they_o will_v not_o because_o you_o have_v no_o power_n say_v they_o from_o the_o last_o parliament_n to_o raise_v money_n i_o say_v if_o they_o will_v not_o rate_v it_o how_o can_v you_o raise_v it_o in_o equity_n and_o if_o you_o want_v money_n what_o will_v become_v of_o you_o the_o late_a king_n lose_v all_o upon_o that_o score_n go_v to_o raise_v ship-money_n without_o consent_n of_o parliament_n take_v heed_n what_o you_o do_v for_o i_o believe_v your_o soldier_n consider_v all_o these_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o that_o though_o for_o the_o present_a they_o obey_v you_o to_o see_v what_o you_o will_v do_v yet_o they_o will_v not_o serve_v you_o to_o keep_v their_o native_a country_n in_o such_o bondage_n therefore_o trust_v not_o to_o they_o upon_o such_o a_o account_n but_o do_v righteous_a thing_n and_o then_o they_o will_v glad_o follow_v you_o my_o lord_n you_o be_v design_v for_o high_a thing_n then_o to_o live_v so_o dishonourble_o at_o whitehall_n as_o to_o be_v count_v a_o tyrant_n and_o the_o very_a enemy_n of_o your_o native_a
