abundant_o full_a and_o able_a to_o give_v all_o man_n satisfaction_n my_o great_a evidence_n say_v he_o be_v the_o parliament_n judge_v so_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o observation_n no_o evidence_n he_o

he_o as_o himself_o suppose_v for_o he_o proceed_v further_a and_o say_v the_o judgement_n of_o a_o parliament_n of_o england_n be_v never_o till_o now_o question_v by_o a_o people_n of_o england_n and_o yet_o we_o read_v of_o a_o parliament_n in_o england_n call_v the_o mad_a parliament_n and_o of_o another_o call_v the_o wicked_a parliament_n and_o posterity_n will_v find_v mention_n of_o a_o bloody_a and_o deceitful_a parliament_n the_o judgement_n of_o the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v sure_o question_v by_o some_o people_n of_o england_n when_o they_o entitle_v it_o a_o assembly_n of_o

of_o england_n never_o receive_v so_o much_o prejudice_n and_o unchristian_a usage_n as_o now_o by_o any_o parliament_n in_o england_n but_o the_o man_n goe●_z on_o still_o to_o amplify_v the_o

saint_n paul_n spiritual_a man_n as_o satan_n be_v to_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n who_o judge_v all_o and_o himself_o be_v judge_v of_o none_o o_o i_o will_v to_o god_n it_o be_v not_o only_o like_o

by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v conjecture_v that_o m._n martial_n will_v never_o hence_o forth_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o popish_a collier_n for_o blind_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v who_o think_v it_o his_o own_o duty_n to_o believe_v as_o the_o parliament_n judge_v and_o here_o also_o let_v we_o note_v the_o reason_n which_o too_o few_o observe_v why_o he_o and_o other_o of_o that_o side_n do_v conceive_v as_o appear_v by_o their_o practice_n that_o tell_v of_o untruth_n break_v of_o oath_n resist_v and_o defame_v the_o king_n shed_v of_o innocent_a blood_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n be_v in_o these_o day_n if_o some_o man_n commit_v they_o no_o sin_n this_o doubtless_o be_v their_o great_a evidence_n the_o parliament_n judge_v so_o but_o see_v we_o have_v hear_v m._n martial_n thus_o far_o let_v we_o listen_v to_o he_o a_o little_a further_o the_o judgement_n of_o his_o parliament_n be_v not_o only_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o his_o faith_n but_o for_o his_o

shall_v give_v none_o other_o account_n of_o my_o enter_n upon_o my_o office_n in_o the_o army_n which_o be_v not_o to_o fight_v or_o to_o meddle_v in_o the_o council_n of_o war_n but_o only_o to_o teach_v they_o how_o to_o behave_v themselves_o according_a to_o the_o word_n that_o god_n may_v be_v with_o they_o shall_v i_o i_o say_v give_v no_o other_o account_n but_o the_o determination_n of_o that_o wise_a assembly_n i_o shall_v be_v acquit_v by_o indifferent_a man_n indeed_o they_o must_v be_v very_o indifferent_a man_n that_o will_v acquit_v he_o indifferent_a for_o honesty_n and_o
