against_o the_o covenant_n than_o i_o for_o the_o covenant_n engage_v we_o to_o reform_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o you_o it_o seem_v will_v reform_v without_o yea_o against_o the_o word_n with_o outward_a and_o secular_a power_n which_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v in_o the_o magistrate_n hand_n neither_o but_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o in_o your_o own_o answ._n i_o have_v lay_v down_o all_o your_o word_n in_o this_o reply_n that_o other_o may_v discern_v and_o you_o may_v be_v convince_v of_o the_o impertinency_n and_o falsehood_n thereof_o and_o that_o in_o five_o

the_o covenant_n which_o bind_v to_o a_o reformation_n in_o worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n which_o be_v a_o reformation_n distinct_a from_o heart_n reformation_n but_o against_o this_o you_o speak_v not_o a_o word_n in_o this_o reply_n then_o i_o will_v conclude_v that_o your_o silence_n give_v consent_n 2._o you_o say_v you_o like_o the_o covenant_n well_o enough_o according_a to_o the_o true_a intention_n of_o it_o true_o sir_n you_o must_v pardon_v i_o i_o can_v believe_v you_o and_o that_o upon_o these_o ground_n 1._o the_o covenant_n according_a to_o the_o true_a intention_n of_o it_o tie_v to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n but_o you_o like_v not_o that_o you_o have_v rather_o pull_v down_o then_o preserve_v the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n it_o be_v presbyterial_a yea_o you_o call_v that_o the_o carnal_a church_n that_o call_v for_o the_o aid_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n for_o his_o civil_a sanction_n which_o scotland_n do_v and_o will_v you_o make_v i_o believe_v you_o will_v preserve_v that_o church_n or_o government_n 2._o the_o covenant_n according_a to_o the_o true_a intention_n of_o it_o tie_v we_o to_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n to_o uniformity_n in_o religion_n confession_n of_o faith_n form_n of_o church-government_n directory_n for_o worship_n but_o you_o like_v not_o these_o you_o have_v in_o print_n and_o pulpit_n declare_v your_o dislike_n against_o most_o or_o all_o of_o these_o how_o then_o dare_v you_o say_v you_o like_o the_o covenant_n well_o enough_o according_a to_o the_o true_a intention_n of_o it_o 3._o you_o do_v untrue_o say_v that_o i_o be_o more_o against_o the_o covenant_n than_o you_o in_o this_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v easy_o convince_v you_o by_o a_o induction_n of_o particular_a passage_n in_o the_o covenant_n 1._o i_o acknowledge_v the_o church_n of_o scotland_n a_o reform_a church_n so_o do_v not_o you_o 2._o i_o will_v in_o my_o place_n and_o call_v endeavour_n to_o preserve_v the_o reform_a
