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

their_o brethren_n of_o scotland_n as_o know_v it_o will_v endanger_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o godly_a party_n in_o both_o the_o nation_n i_o well_o remember_v the_o king_n call_v a_o

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

that_o the_o parliament_n refuse_v to_o engage_v in_o the_o war_n of_o scotland_n after_o this_o there_o be_v public_a thanksgiving_n throughout_o all_o england_n enjoin_v by_o king_n and_o

scotland_n upon_o the_o solicitation_n of_o the_o king_n and_o bishop_n because_o they_o will_v obtrude_v popish_a ceremony_n upon_o that_o nation_n may_v not_o we_o judge_v it_o much_o more_o unlawful_a to_o wage_v war_n with_o scotland_n to_o bring_v blasphemy_n heresy_n and_o slavery_n upon_o they_o and_o that_o after_o we_o have_v have_v a_o brotherly_a assistance_n from_o they_o and_o

it_o be_v not_o when_o scotland_n be_v overrun_v with_o malignity_n during_o the_o time_n of_o hambletons_n prevalency_n but_o it_o be_v when_o the_o power_n of_o that_o kingdom_n be_v in_o the_o

to_o bring_v their_o person_n in_o vassalage_n and_o thraldom_n as_o to_o their_o civil_a liberty_n 3._o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o slight_a ground_n cromwell_n have_v to_o invade_v scotland_n because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v a_o commonwealth_n therefore_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o people_n because_o they_o will_v not_o break_v their_o covenant_n therefore_o

for_o a_o scriptural_a presbytery_n and_o a_o well-regulated_a monarchy_n for_o find_v doctrine_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o cromwell_n be_v so_o much_o their_o

nation_n 4._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o wicked_a end_n cromwell_n aim_v at_o in_o his_o invade_v scotland_n viz._n mere_o to_o satisfy_v his_o ambitious_a and_o covetous_a desire_n to_o be_v absolute_a lord_n of_o the_o estate_n liberty_n and_o life_n of_o all_o the_o people_n in_o these_o 3._o nation_n it_o do_v not_o content_v he_o to_o have_v one_o kingdom_n viz._n
