unto_o the_o truth_n in_o which_o there_o be_v power_n to_o set_v free_a and_o for_o the_o testimony_n thereof_o and_o that_o they_o may_v hold_v forth_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n in_o love_n to_o their_o enemy_n and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v clear_a from_o the_o blood_n of_o all_o man_n in_o give_v they_o warning_n to_o repent_v and_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n their_o life_n be_v not_o dear_a to_o they_o they_o be_v nothing_o terrify_v by_o their_o adversary_n which_o to_o they_o be_v a_o evident_a token_n of_o perdition_n but_o to_o the_o patient_a sufferer_n of_o

his_o life_n for_o my_o sake_n shall_v find_v it_o but_o we_o do_v clear_o see_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o that_o seek_v to_o save_v his_o own_o life_n will_v kill_v the_o just_a and_o therefore_o we_o marvel_v not_o at_o what_o the_o professor_n in_o new_a england_n that_o flee_v to_o save_v themselves_o have_v do_v know_v that_o they_o which_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n will_v persecute_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n but_o we_o do_v even_o pity_v to_o see_v such_o as_o do_v profess_v scripture_n have_v their_o eye_n so_o shut_v and_o their_o heart_n so_o gross_a as_o to_o think_v they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n when_o they_o not_o only_o cast_v out_o of_o their_o synagogue_n but_o out_o of_o their_o country_n and_o do_v imprison_v scourge_n cut_v off_o ear_n and_o kill_v those_o that_o come_v to_o they_o in_o the_o name_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v tremble_v at_o god_n word_n work_v out_o their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v and_o here_o we_o do_v appeal_v to_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o you_o all_o professor_n and_o people_n whether_o the_o professor_n in_o new_a england_n have_v not_o act_v quite_o contrary_a to_o god_n in_o imprison_v scourge_v banish_v and_o kill_v those_o that_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n see_v god_n have_v say_v to_o this_o man_n will_v i_o look_v that_o be_v of_o a_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n and_o tremble_v at_o my_o word_n but_o to_o such_o the_o profess_a ruler_n in_o new_a england_n will_v not_o look_v neither_o suffer_v they_o to_o have_v a_o being_n among_o they_o and_o again_o we_o say_v let_v the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o you_o judge_v whether_o they_o have_v not_o act_v direct_o contrary_a to_o christ_n in_o destroy_a man_n life_n see_v he_o come_v not_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v man_n life_n and_o whether_o they_o be_v not_o quite_o out_o of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o royal_a law_n which_o say_v what_o ever_o you_o will_v that_o man_n shall_v do_v unto_o you_o do_v you_o even_o so_o unto_o they_o and_o we_o do_v likewise_o appeal_v unto_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o all_o sober_a people_n whether_o the_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n of_o the_o people_n in_o new_a england_n that_o stir_v up_o and_o encourage_v their_o flock_n to_o persecute_v to_o death_n god_n servant_n be_v not_o become_v brutish_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o their_o flock_n contrary_a to_o the_o primitive_a christian_n see_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n be_v gentle_a towards_o all_o man_n and_o do_v not_o strive_v nor_o war_n with_o carnal_a weapon_n but_o do_v meek_o instruct_v they_o that_o do_v oppose_v themselves_o that_o with_o sound_a doctrine_n they_o may_v convince_v their_o adversary_n and_o they_o both_o love_v and_o teach_v the_o believer_n that_o follow_v they_o to_o love_v their_o enemy_n and_o not_o kill_v they_o as_o they_o have_v kill_v those_o that_o they_o account_v their_o enemy_n for_o which_o they_o have_v no_o cause_n unl●sse_v it_o be_v for_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o again_o whether_o these_o teacher_n and_o professor_n and_o all_o that_o justify_v their_o proceed_n against_o the_o lord_n servant_n be_v not_o of_o that_o generation_n that_o kill_v the_o prophet_n and_o shameful_o entreat_v those_o that_o be_v send_v unto_o they_o which_o call_v the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n beelzebub_n and_o kill_v the_o prince_n of_o life_n see_v they_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o they_o of_o his_o household_n and_o reader_n that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o these_o two_o which_o the_o professor_n of_o new_a england_n have_v take_v and_o by_o wicked_a hand_n put_v to_o death_n be_v the_o servant_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o of_o the_o household_n of_o god_n we_o do_v here_o present_a to_o thy_o view_n these_o thing_n follow_v which_o be_v write_v by_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o send_v unto_o we_o not_o long_o before_o
