A54055	Some considerations proposed to this distracted nation of England concerning the present design and work of God therein, upon their submitting whereto doth their settlement alone depend, and not upon any form of government, or change of governors, as that spirit which seeketh their ruin, tempteth them to believe.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1659 (1659)	Wing P1191; ESTC R8190	3,831	1

wherein_o the_o true_a reform_v light_n do_v arise_v in_o any_o measure_n and_o who_o be_v in_o any_o measure_n true_a to_o that_o light_n which_o the_o lord_n cause_v to_o break_v in_o upon_o they_o 2._o that_o the_o reformation_n out_o of_o popery_n be_v not_o present_o perfect_v nay_o be_v never_o yet_o perfect_v but_o be_v very_o weak_a and_o low_a many_o thing_n therein_o savour_v very_o

lord_n god_n who_o in_o such_o great_a mercy_n have_v deliver_v this_o nation_n from_o the_o yoke_n of_o popery_n can_v not_o but_o expect_v that_o the_o reformation_n shall_v grow_v and_o increase_v until_o it_o be_v perfect_v even_o until_o nothing_o be_v leave_v which_o arise_v from_o that_o spirit_n from_o whence_o popery_n spring_v and_o which_o may_v in_o its_o proper_a tendency_n be_v

both_o very_a like_o that_o of_o rome_n whereby_o those_o that_o be_v true_o conscientious_a and_o in_o who_o the_o reform_a light_n do_v further_a and_o further_o arise_v be_v reproach_v nicknamed_a

be_v tender-hearted_a towards_o god_n 5._o that_o under_o this_o church-government_n and_o way_n of_o worship_n there_o be_v a_o go●ng_v backward_o towards_o popery_n again_o instead_o of_o go_v further_o from_o it_o thing_n grow_v e●ery_a day_n worse_o and_o worse_o ceremony_n daily_o abound_v and_o be_v more_o and_o more_o strict_o enjoin_v wear_v of_o surplice_n bow_v at_o the_o name_n

6._o that_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n arise_v against_o this_o form_n of_o church-government_n and_o worship_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o the_o lord_n to_o appear_v for_o
