pure Reformation agreeable to the word of our good God and have preserved our estates and liberties from an Arbitrary Government shall they dye which have wrought such a deliverance in the Land they shall not dye we will bleed our selves before an haire shall fall from their heads if either wee with our persons prayers counsells states or swords can prevent it And hath the Lord given such a blessing to our endeavours that God hath made the righteous of the Land next to the Lord a wall of defence to the Parliament shall it ever therefore enter into the heart of loyall and tender-hearted Covenantors to have such hard thoughts that the Parliament will ever consent to burden us any longer with unjust Penall Statutes who have thought nothing too deare for them but have jeopardized lives and livelyhods for their preservations Especially they being sensible what a burden such penall Lawes have been to tender Consciences and what an hinderance they are for propagating truth Sixtly All the faithfull in the Parliament know but in part and the more they tast of the honey of Gods eternall truth the more their eyes are enlightened to see they have not as yet attained to a full Reformation And if now they should build but upon the least hay and stubble they should not onely suffer losse but lay a foundation of a new rent in the Ages and generations to come yea and looke what unjust Penall Statutes they impose now may perhaps fall as heavy upon their Posterity as sometime did upon that famous Lord Cobham that gave his consent to the Statute of Lolordi and afterward was put to death for a Lolord Seventhly The Lord hath added such a blessing to the pious endeavours of the Parliament that they have discovered many things to be ●ruth that the Learned Prelates in former times adjudged to be Heresies As the parity of the Ministery Superstitious formes of devised Worship called Divine Superstitious Festivals formerly esteemed holy Feasts now taken away that men may follow their honest labour six daies and Sanctifi● a Seventh as a day of holy re●● to the Lord being now the first day of every weeke as the holy Scripture hath left us a rule of practise to observe and doe Act 20. 7.

amity according to his owne promise In the World you found affliction but in him you found peace And when you were called to be a Member of the high Court of Parliament in our distressed and distracted times the Lord made you an ●nstrument to defect the Trecherous plot of those two brethren in evill Thomas Lord Strafford and William Lord Archbishop of Canterbu●y that contrived the destruction of our fundamentall Lawes ratified by the Statute of Magna Charta by ●abouring to set up an Arbitrary Government and keeping on foot a Po●ish Army consisting of Irish Re●els and others to compell the faith●ull and true-hearted Nobility and loyall Commons of England ●o subject themselves to their illegal Taxations hazarding the losse of he favours of the King Nobi●●ty Parents Friends and Allyes together with those places of Ho●our and Maintenance the King of lemency had freely bestowed ra●●er then his Country should be ru●ed and enthralled by such accor●● 〈…〉 a branch of that goodly Caedar under whose shade the Innocent and oppressed tender Consciences that stand for a through Reformation agreeable to the Word o● God find rest ever be forgotten and left unrewarded God forbid I● is worthy to be written on a Pilla● of Marble and recorded in the Chronicle that after-ages may never forget to shew kindenesse and mercy to your Noble Posterity that did not thinke your life together with your neerest relations deare unto you so as to part with them that you might purchase you Countries Liberty I cannot judge him Englands Friend that enviet● your honour and promotion Se●ing you are for the love you hau● shewed to Christ his Truth and poore Members together with you● Native Countrey worthy of double honour Now worthy Sir seeing all your excellency is nothing else bu● the Image of Jesus Christ the Son of righteousnes shining in you Dis●ain not to receive from the hand of a poore despised Instrument that presents this Treatise The Learned Conference of Master John Cotton that he had with the Elders at the Bay of Boston in New England Though I am the least of all Saints not worthy to be called a Saint because ●n the time of the Prelats raigne I ●ided with them in persecuting the Faith of Jesus Christ and imprisoning of his Members But did it ●gnorantly through unbeliefe and when the Lord pierced my heart for it I trembling cryed What shall I doe The holy Spirit and the Bride said Repent and bee baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sinnes and I should receive the gifts of the Spirit c. Then Noble Sir though I procrastinated it for a season at last I was not disobedient to the heavenly voice but arose and was Baptized For this cause have beene much opposed by my old Friends and Countrey-men But yet remaine a Loyall Cove●nanter that standeth for a Reformation in England and Ireland a●greeable to the Word of God and the best Reformed Churches Seeing it is not the voice of the Churches but Christ in the Churches we Convenented to hearken unto as Master Case his Sermon yet testifieth First To extirpate Popery which I apprehended at the taking of the Nationall Covenant was that Doctrine of Antichrist which doth universally oppose the doctrine of Jesus the Christ Affirming what Christ denieth and denying what Christ affirmeth Secondly Prelacy viz. The Government of Arch-bishops and Bishops and all Ecclesiasticall Officers depending on that Hierarchy Roote and Branch as a Plant the heavenly Father hath not planted Thirdly Superstition viz. Whatsoever is supra Statutum that hath not the word of God to warrant it Fourthly Schisme Namely from all those that teach and co●●sent not to the wholesome words even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the doctrine which is according to godlinesse from such I must withdraw 1 Tim. 6. 3 5. Fifthly Heresie Even from all them that deny that Jesus is the Christ They are Antichrist that deny the Father and the Sonne Whosoever denyeth the Sonne the same hath not the Father 1 Joh. 2. 22 23. Sixthly That the Lord may be one viz. Even the Lord Jesus the Christ whom God raised from the dead and ●et him at his owne right hand in the ●eavenly places Farre above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named not onely in this world but that which is to come And hath put all things under his feet and gave him to be head over all things to the Church Which is his body the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all Ephes 1. 20 21 22 23. Seventhly And his Name to ● one in the three Kingdomes that is as I conceive it his power authority and royall Commission must be exalted in all his Offices to be the eternall King eternall Prophet and eternall Priest in all things appertaining to the conscience seeing the loyall Spouse of Christ hath no Head no Husband no Lord no Law-giver but royall King Jesus That wee and our posterity after us may live in faith and love and the Lord may delight to dwell amongst us For the keeping of which Covenant I had rather chuse to dye then to deny the faith of Jesus the Christ Knowing that he which confesseth him before men him he will confesse before his Father But hee which is ashamed of Christ ●nd his words in this sinfull and adulterous generation of him also shall the Sonne of man bee ashamed when hee cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy Angels Mar. 8. 38. Thus I desire in the first place to give to God the things that are Gods and in the next place render to the high and honourable Court of Parliament whereof your Honour is a Member and to your King when the Lord shall put it into his heart to returne unto his Parliament and to joyne with you all your dues tributes customes feare honour and subject my selfe to obey all your just legall and civill commandements Knowing that you set not up the Sword for nought but to be a terrour to them that doe evill and a praise a guard and defense for them that doe well Your poore Oratour at the throne of grace that earnestly prayeth that the Lord will give you and the great Councell of the Kingdome wisdome and prudence to beare with tender Consciences that desire to exalt Jesus the Christ in all his Royall Offices FRAN.
