i_o wish_v that_o what_o be_v his_o say_n of_o heaven_n have_v be_v his_o own_o practice_n upon_o earth_n many_o of_o our_o enemy_n then_o have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o he_o accuse_v the_o government_n of_o and_o i_o free_v from_o the_o trouble_n of_o answer_v such_o his_o accusation_n i_o must_v clear_o confess_v what_o he_o say_v in_o that_o particular_a be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v in_o my_o apprehension_n a_o truth_n that_o it_o be_v a_o high_a mistake_n and_o possible_o i_o may_v not_o err_v in_o say_v that_o the_o providence_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v hardly_o be_v more_o active_a for_o good_a in_o some_o age_n past_a than_o in_o but_o a_o part_n of_o that_o time_n in_o which_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v stand_v still_o and_o be_v but_o a_o looker_n on_o to_o evince_v which_o consider_v i_o beseech_v you_o ere_o this_o government_n begin_v how_o unsettled_a &_o perplex_v be_v our_o own_o nation_n scotland_n &_o ireland_n large_a part_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n all_o in_o a_o flame_n we_o engage_v in_o a_o bloody_a war_n by_o sea_n with_o the_o datch_n the_o french_a the_o spaniard_n the_o portugal_n the_o swede_n and_o the_o dane_n at_o best_a no_o friend_n if_o not_o actual_a enemy_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v establish_v wherein_o they_o see_v we_o be_v come_v to_o a_o hopeful_a consistency_n as_o the_o first_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o it_o part_n of_o they_o pay_v for_o their_o peace_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n implore_v it_o our_o internal_a war_n forthwith_o be_v quench_v so_o that_o in_o effect_n when_o our_o enemy_n see_v we_o become_v wise_a they_o become_v so_o to_o and_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o all_o those_o who_o before_o have_v seek_v our_o ruin_n which_o may_v be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o gracious_a promise_n when_o a_o man_n way_n please_v the_o lord_n he_o make_v even_o his_o enemy_n to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o if_o a_o sparrow_n fall_v not_o without_o a_o providence_n doubtless_o such_o considerable_a change_n and_o event_n be_v not_o sign_n that_o god_n have_v stand_v still_o and_o be_v a_o looker_n on_o but_o rather_o that_o they_o be_v the_o product_n of_o his_o care_n and_o tenderness_n towards_o his_o people_n who_o may_v provoke_v his_o high_a judgement_n by_o their_o so_o mean_o esteem_v of_o his_o high_a mercy_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o be_v now_o engage_v in_o the_o war_n with_o spain_n but_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o the_o provocation_n and_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v too_o great_a any_o long_a to_o protract_v it_o which_o be_v so_o clear_o set_v down_o in_o the_o print_a state_n of_o that_o war_n as_o to_o receive_v satisfaction_n therein_o one_o need_n but_o to_o read_v that_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o hitherto_o this_o war_n have_v not_o prove_v so_o promise_v and_o successful_a as_o many_o be_v confident_a it_o will_v which_o i_o fear_v may_v have_v in_o part_n occasion_v it_o but_o who_o ever_o observe_v the_o usual_a method_n of_o god_n dispensation_n towards_o we_o he_o will_v find_v even_o this_v itself_o be_v proportionate_a to_o most_o other_o our_o loss_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v but_o to_o try_v our_o faith_n and_o as_o this_o have_v be_v parallel_n to_o many_o other_o in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o so_o i_o trust_v it_o will_v be_v the_o like_a in_o its_o conclusion_n and_o event_n i_o be_o certain_a it_o be_v not_o so_o considerable_a as_o only_o upon_o its_o own_o account_n to_o give_v the_o author_n a_o r●se_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v be_v please_v for_o three_o year_n last_o pass_v to_o stand_v still_o and_o be_v a_o looker_n on_o to_o which_o there_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n else_o that_o i_o can_v call_v to_o mind_n as_o a_o pretence_n to_o authorise_v this_o his_o belief_n

be_v that_o there_o be_v none_o and_o they_o forthwith_o disband_v but_o before_o i_o proceed_v far_o permit_v i_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o observe_v one_o expression_n more_o in_o the_o same_o page_n viz_o the_o good_a people_n army_n raise_v by_o they_o wherein_o he_o do_v sure_o allude_v to_o what_o shall_v be_v if_o his_o utopla_n take_v place_n &_o consequent_o that_o a_o new_a army_n shall_v be_v raise_v or_o else_o why_o be_v it_o say_v raise_v by_o they_o continue_a by_o they_o have_v be_v more_o significant_a &_o clear_a if_o his_o sense_n have_v not_o be_v such_o as_o i_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v and_o indeed_o all_o his_o expression_n be_v so_o full_a of_o strength_n and_o light_n in_o what_o he_o do_v set_v down_o that_o this_o expression_n make_v i_o the_o more_o confident_a i_o have_v hit_v upon_o his_o intention_n in_o those_o his_o word_n which_o if_o i_o have_v many_o genuine_a inference_n may_v be_v thereby_o collect_v which_o may_v well_o manifest_v the_o design_n our_o author_n drive_v at_o but_o indeed_o be_v too_o voluminous_a for_o a_o letter_n but_o i_o can_v omit_v one_o passage_n of_o he_o in_o his_o 11._o page_n towards_o the_o midst_n of_o it_o viz_o the_o army_n put_v themselves_o with_o their_o fellow_n adherent_n to_o the_o cause_n under_o the_o rule_n and_o authority_n of_o their_o own_o supreme_a judicature_n they_o lose_v not_o their_o

seat_v in_o themselves_o and_o part_n with_o it_o only_o but_o as_o by_o deputation_n and_o representation_n of_o themselves_o when_o it_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o orderly_a way_n of_o exercise_n by_o be_v put_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o person_n choose_v and_o entrust_v by_o themselves_o to_o that_o purpose_n by_o which_o word_n he_o will_v infuse_v into_o the_o people_n that_o the_o army_n believe_v they_o have_v acquire_v the_o sovereignty_n over_o all_o which_o if_o true_a may_v just_o render_v we_o worthy_a of_o the_o hatred_n even_o of_o our_o friend_n and_o brethren_n nay_o by_o his_o word_n he_o not_o only_o make_v we_o enslaver_v of_o the_o people_n in_o this_o age_n but_o may_v possible_o make_v we_o the_o like_a in_o age_n to_o come_v for_o if_o the_o original_a right_n be_v in_o we_o as_o the_o army_n and_o we_o part_v with_o it_o but_o by_o deputation_n we_o may_v as_o well_o recall_v our_o right_n from_o those_o to_o who_o we_o shall_v depute_v it_o whereby_o the_o army_n shall_v become_v indeed_o the_o supreme_a authority_n and_o as_o our_o author_n have_v design_v it_o the_o army_n shall_v always_o be_v we_o be_v the_o lord_n know_v but_o too_o ill_a of_o ourselves_o and_o need_v no_o such_o painter_n who_o through_o design_n or_o ignorance_n draw_v we_o worse_o than_o through_o mercy_n we_o be_v or_o i_o trust_v ever_o shall_v be_v he_o say_v

you_o that_o by_o the_o government_n we_o be_v now_o through_o providence_n under_o the_o people_n enjoy_v true_a freedom_n in_o matter_n of_o conscience_n &_o their_o just_a right_n in_o civil_a

in_o any_o thing_n short_a of_o all_o we_o drive_v at_o which_o may_v have_v just_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o have_v deny_v we_o our_o heart_n wish_v that_o we_o may_v have_v more_o of_o
