doctrine_n which_o so_o much_o pluck_v down_o god_n and_o set_v up_o man_n in_o answer_n if_o there_o be_v any_o doctrine_n that_o pluck_v down_o god_n and_o set_v up_o man_n in_o his_o stead_n it_o

have_v to_o your_o bow_n which_o if_o once_o they_o be_v break_v man_n will_v be_v more_o throw_v down_o and_o god_n exalt_v namely_o force_v maintenance_n of_o your_o belly_n which_o can_v be_v have_v without_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n by_o which_o you_o contend_v to_o dethrone_v god_n and_o his_o appearance_n in_o his_o people_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o your_o appealation_n to_o human_a authority_n to_o set_v up_o yourselves_o more_o than_o the_o kingly_a power_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o string_n you_o have_v play_v upon_o for_o a_o long_a time_n have_v be_v the_o popish_a

as_o myself_o than_o you_o shall_v desire_v no_o more_o to_o be_v do_v unto_o i_o then_o to_o yourselves_o but_o you_o be_v not_o true_a to_o your_o principle_n for_o you_o conclude_v the_o best_a

general_n have_v be_v a_o happy_a conqueror_n of_o your_o enemy_n in_o the_o three_o nation_n but_o upon_o what_o account_n you_o style_v they_o enemy_n be_v best_a know_v to_o yourselves_o and_o in_o part_n to_o i_o i_o count_v they_o enemy_n because_o they_o stand_v for_o a_o kingly_a interest_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o freedom_n peace_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o nation_n who_o will_v set_v up_o the_o will_n of_o man_n by_o unlawful_a court_n and_o counsel_n to_o lord_n it_o over_o the_o estate_n person_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n whereby_o they_o censure_v man_n by_o unreasonable_a fine_n and_o banishment_n without_o legal_a trial_n by_o jury_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o fundamental_a constitution_n of_o this_o nation_n now_o if_o they_o be_v your_o enemy_n upon_o this_o account_n why_o then_o go_v you_o about_o to_o make_v the_o lord_n general_n your_o solicitor_n against_o i_o to_o the_o high_a court_n to_o restrain_v i_o from_o my_o native_a liberty_n what_o will_v you_o have_v i_o a_o prisoner_n at_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o any_o person_n be_v not_o proceed_v against_o in_o a_o legal_a way_n do_v not_o the_o law_n lie_v open_a if_o not_o how_o be_v your_o enemy_n conquer_v but_o i_o more_o than_o suppose_v you_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o scot_n as_o enemy_n upon_o the_o foresay_a consideration_n be_v well_o assure_v that_o when_o the_o lord_n general_n with_o the_o commonwealth_n army_n be_v in_o great_a straits_n than_o the_o priest_n of_o this_o nation_n for_o the_o most_o part_n preach_v with_o their_o face_n to_o the_o north_n yea_o and_o lift_v up_o their_o rebellious_a hand_n to_o heaven_n with_o strong_a cry_n and_o tear_n pray_v to_o god_n who_o neither_o herd_n nor_o answer_v they_o that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o help_v his_o people_n the_o scot_n and_o prosper_v his_o cause_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o that_o young_a man_n late_o convert_v by_o take_v the_o covenant_n whereas_o it_o be_v eminent_o know_v in_o the_o county_n of_o leicester_n and_o rutland_n that_o myself_o and_o capt._n john_n freeman_n oppose_v they_o at_o their_o run_a lecture_n for_o preach_v against_o the_o army_n and_o when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o give_v victory_n to_o our_o army_n than_o they_o preach_v sermon_n full_a of_o lamentation_n make_v the_o people_n groan_n like_o the_o priest_n of_o scotland_n at_o which_o time_n they_o of_o your_o call_n be_v so_o far_o from_o creep_v into_o the_o army_n that_o in_o time_n of_o service_n they_o creep_v out_o of_o the_o army_n witness_n dundee_n and_o elsewhere_o 9_o again_o you_o say_v the_o three_o nation_n be_v deliver_v from_o tyranny_n and_o slavery_n that_o god_n have_v give_v great_a and_o many_o glorious_a victory_n to_o our_o force_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o l._n general_n cromwell_n be_v very_o apparent_a for_o which_o you_o say_v you_o bless_v god_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o have_v all_o cause_n to_o praise_v he_o that_o love_v peace_n but_o that_o we_o be_v free_v from_o tyranny_n and_o slavery_n in_o the_o three_o nation_n i_o deny_v because_o there_o remain_v some_o of_o that_o norman_a tyranny_n still_o for_o the_o parliament_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o england_n to_o remove_v without_o which_o we_o can_v be_v happy_a nor_o rejoice_v or_o make_v our_o boast_n that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o tyranny_n and_o slavery_n as_o long_o as_o we_o hear_v that_o a_o poor_a man_n cause_n can_v be_v hear_v for_o want_v of_o money_n again_o do_v not_o we_o see_v many_o a_o man_n impoverish_v by_o reason_n of_o delay_n in_o court_n and_o do_v not_o we_o see_v many_o a_o poor_a man_n travel_n to_o london_n with_o great_a expense_n of_o money_n and_o time_n and_o loss_n at_o home_n to_o agree_v with_o their_o adversary_n which_o may_v be_v do_v in_o their_o own_o neighbourhood_n be_v not_o this_o slavery_n and_o oppression_n as_o well_o as_o triple_a damage_n for_o tithe_n which_o make_v the_o people_n groan_n for_o want_n of_o just_a proceed_n in_o law_n but_o happy_o you_o will_v say_v these_o be_v your_o grievance_n in_o truth_n then_o we_o may_v expect_v better_a fruit_n then_o to_o be_v of_o a_o persecute_a spirit_n which_o be_v general_o incident_a to_o man_n of_o your_o profession_n and_o i_o believe_v so_o long_o as_o a_o hireling_n minister_n remain_v in_o this_o nation_n it_o will_v not_o be_v absolute_o free_a from_o tyranny_n and_o slavery_n everard_n answer_n to_o the_o article_n exhibit_v 1._o you_o say_v i_o maintain_v many_o destructive_a opinion_n and_o that_o my_o manner_n of_o preach_v be_v in_o a_o jeer_a and_o flout_a way_n as_o for_o the_o destructiveness_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o hold_v forth_o i_o confess_v they_o to_o be_v destructive_a to_o many_o of_o your_o opinion_n i_o shall_v instance_n one_o among_o twenty_o as_o the_o baptise_n of_o those_o that_o do_v make_v confession_n of_o their_o sin_n or_o profession_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o oppose_v childish_a baptism_n as_o a_o devise_a fable_n and_o at_o one_o time_n more_o especial_o i_o preach_v upon_o that_o point_n in_o newcastle_n to_o undeceive_v the_o people_n who_o be_v by_o you_o captivate_v and_o i_o take_v the_o prophet_n elias_n method_n 1_o king_n 18._o from_o vers._n 22._o to_o 27._o to_o see_v if_o i_o can_v end_v the_o difference_n plead_v that_o the_o people_n be_v very_o willing_a to_o see_v their_o prophet_n try_v so_o as_o it_o be_v agree_v that_o that_o god_n which_o answer_v by_o fire_n from_o heaven_n shall_v be_v the_o only_a god_n to_o be_v worship_v so_o i_o make_v this_o proposal_n call_v the_o scripture_n the_o true_a fire_n from_o heaven_n lay_v down_o the_o doctrine_n of_o john_n be_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n which_o come_v from_o thence_o desire_v the_o people_n to_o lay_v down_o in_o their_o thought_n the_o sprinkle_n of_o infant_n at_o a_o distance_n and_o i_o call_v to_o god_n for_o fire_n and_o it_o come_v from_o heaven_n and_o kindle_v the_o doctrine_n of_o john_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o the_o people_n and_o many_o wonder_v when_o they_o see_v the_o light_n shine_v so_o clear_a then_o i_o desire_v the_o prophet_n to_o call_v aloud_o for_o fire_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o people_n and_o i_o confess_v i_o further_o say_v that_o the_o god_n of_o that_o opinion_n viz._n the_o
