may_v come_v who_o be_v not_o yet_o disentangle_v from_o this_o curse_a yoke_n of_o soar_v bondage_n which_o man_n of_o corrupt_a mind_n have_v lay_v upon_o your_o neck_n for_o filthy_a lucre_n sake_n

be_v it_o not_o a_o heart-resenting_a matter_n unto_o the_o upright_a soul_n for_o to_o see_v and_o serious_o consider_v the_o sad_a event_n which_o this_o impose_v of_o oath_n have_v wrought_v in_o this_o nation_n insomuch_o that_o few_o there_o be_v in_o it_o who_o have_v have_v any_o considerable_a name_n or_o respect_v therein_o either_o in_o civil_a or_o ecclesiastic_a affair_n but_o have_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o perjure_a man_n yea_o few_o there_o be_v in_o this_o nation_n of_o one_o sort_n or_o other_o but_o be_v so_o except_o it_o be_v a_o few_o people_n who_o be_v call_v quaker_n who_o stand_v as_o your_o only_a mark_n to_o shoot_v at_o and_o who_o you_o be_v seek_v every_o way_n to_o ensnare_v in_o this_o thing_n in_o matter_n of_o swear_v though_o most_o of_o you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a how_o that_o for_o conscience_n sake_n they_o can_v swear_v at_o all_o because_o they_o dare_v not_o break_v christ_n command_n nor_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n which_o be_v according_a unto_o it_o who_o say_v above_o all_o thing_n my_o brethren_n swear_v not_o at_o all_o as_o well_o he_o may_v because_o his_o lord_n and_o master_n forbid_v it_o and_o though_o it_o be_v so_o that_o both_o by_o word_n and_o conversation_n it_o have_v be_v show_v often_o to_o you_o by_o we_o yet_o you_o cease_v not_o daily_o to_o seek_v to_o ensnare_v we_o thereby_o so_o oft_o as_o opportunity_n come_v into_o your_o hand_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o now_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o concern_v this_o spirit_n that_o do_v thus_o unto_o we_o it_o be_v but_o the_o same_o which_o be_v in_o the_o marian_n time_n in_o which_o they_o be_v make_v to_o suffer_v death_n rather_o than_o to_o defile_v their_o conscience_n to_o the_o uttermost_a as_o to_o what_o they_o know_v and_o be_v make_v manifest_a in_o that_o day_n unto_o they_o for_o when_o their_o bloody_a adversary_n can_v answer_v they_o no_o way_n or_o at_o least_o when_o they_o will_v make_v short_a work_n with_o they_o present_o they_o will_v question_v they_o concern_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n as_o you_o do_v unto_o we_o concern_v the_o oath_n of_o alleginnce_n and_o supremacy_n all_o which_o in_o the_o ground_n be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o act_v against_o we_o and_o they_o though_o under_o several_a prerence_n for_o which_o god_n do_v plead_v with_o they_o and_o bring_v they_o down_o sudden_o out_o of_o their_o bloody_a prelatical_a seat_n which_o i_o desire_v may_v be_v a_o warning_n unto_o you_o for_o i_o do_v never_o see_v the_o lord_n acquit_v the_o guilty_a and_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a for_o he_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a altogether_o and_o sure_o i_o do_v believe_v you_o can_v be_v so_o blind_a as_o not_o to_o see_v the_o prelatical_a lordly_a spirit_n intrude_a itself_o among_o you_o when_o your_o high_a priest_n stand_v fast_o in_o your_o hall_n before_o you_o and_o all_o the_o people_n lay_v hold_v on_o i_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o say_v i_o shall_v not_o have_v liberty_n to_o speak_v there_o you_o may_v see_v by_o this_o whether_o he_o that_o be_v so_o devote_a to_o a_o surplice_n will_v not_o also_o come_v to_o wear_v a_o cardinal_n cap_n and_o so_o will_v turn_v black_a into_o red_a if_o that_o way_n be_v but_o make_v for_o he_o let_v the_o upright_a in_o heart_n and_o unprejudiced_a reader_n judge_n and_o now_o i_o shall_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n propound_v some_o few_o query_n unto_o you_o and_o shall_v leave_v and_o recommend_v they_o to_o god_n witness_n in_o you_o all_o to_o judge_v and_o also_o to_o answer_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o 1._o and_o first_o see_v christ_n say_v the_o tree_n may_v be_v know_v by_o its_o fruit_n whether_o or_o no_o this_o have_v not_o be_v a_o evil_a fruit_n bring_v forth_o by_o a_o evil_a tree_n to_o wit_n the_o impose_v of_o oath_n upon_o a_o people_n or_o nation_n see_v that_o few_o that_o be_v in_o this_o nation_n do_v ever_o keep_v they_o by_o which_o mean_n they_o come_v to_o be_v worse_o than_o the_o pharisee_n of_o old_a who_o be_v repute_v only_o to_o be_v sayer_n and_o not_o doer_n but_o these_o swear_v and_o do_v not_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o become_v not_o only_o false_a sayer_n but_o swearer_n also_o against_o who_o the_o lord_n hand_n be_v 2._o whether_o this_o be_v not_o another_o branch_n spring_v forth_o of_o the_o same_o curse_a root_n that_o honest_a upright_a man_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o lose_v their_o estate_n by_o the_o oath_n of_o they_o who_o matter_n little_a where_o and_o what_o they_o say_v or_o swear_v and_o whether_o many_o more_o have_v not_o be_v wrong_v by_o this_o way_n of_o proceed_v than_o have_v be_v right_v otherwise_o let_v god_n pure_a witness_n in_o all_o judge_n see_v the_o evidence_n of_o such_o as_o will_v but_o swear_v though_o a_o common_a swearer_n in_o whore-house_n and_o tavern_n and_o in_o his_o familiar_a communication_n will_v soon_o be_v take_v than_o the_o testimony_n of_o he_o who_o fear_v a_o oath_n because_o he_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o keep_v to_o yea_o and_o nay_o in_o all_o his_o communication_n 4._o and_o see_v that_o so_o many_o have_v swear_v for_o and_o against_o the_o king_n and_o other_o in_o authority_n in_o this_o nation_n how_o can_v you_o put_v confidence_n in_o such_o see_v it_o have_v bind_v man_n so_o little_a as_o this_o nation_n above_o all_o other_o nation_n have_v see_v to_o their_o sad_a experience_n and_o it_o be_v so_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v that_o a_o oath_n be_v among_o man_n for_o the_o end_n of_o strife_n whether_o then_o it_o do_v not_o plain_o betoken_v a_o people_n not_o to_o be_v out_o of_o strife_n who_o be_v find_v in_o that_o practice_n and_o so_o consequent_o no_o christian_n for_o they_o love_v he_o and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n who_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o and_o if_o any_o man_n sue_v thou_o at_o the_o law_n for_o thy_o cloak_n give_v he_o thy_o coat_n also_o and_o if_o all_o be_v come_v to_o live_v in_o this_o christ-like_a life_n and_o doctrine_n what_o need_n will_v there_o be_v of_o swear_v see_v that_o evil_n be_v not_o to_o be_v overcome_v but_o by_o this_o good_a and_o patient_a life_n in_o which_o if_o one_o be_v smite_v on_o the_o cheek_n there_o be_v readiness_n to_o turn_v the_o other_o also_o and_o last_o i_o query_n this_o of_o you_o all_o whether_o or_o no_o it_o be_v not_o a_o evil_a in_o all_o those_o who_o willing_o go_v to_o ensnare_v any_o upon_o this_o account_n see_v and_o know_v beforehand_o that_o they_o can_v swear_v to_o you_o who_o be_v bishop_n arch-bishop_n prebens_fw-la priest_n or_o other_o who_o be_v count_v as_o the_o head_n and_o teacher_n of_o the_o people_n now_o in_o england_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n propound_v unto_o you_o a_o few_o query_n for_o you_o to_o answer_v how_o where_o and_o when_o you_o can_v that_o so_o the_o people_n may_v come_v to_o understand_v how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v you_o be_v set_v to_o be_v their_o teacher_n and_o your_o commission_n thereunto_o quest_n 1._o first_o i_o query_n of_o you_o why_o and_o wherefore_o you_o seem_v to_o make_v such_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o ministry_n and_o you_o see_v that_o both_o your_o call_n and_o maintenance_n be_v one_o in_o the_o ground_n that_o be_v to_o say_v make_v by_o the_o
