A88579	A cleare and necessary vindication of the principles and practices of me Christopher Love, since my tryall before, and condemnation by, the High Court of Iustice. Whereby it is manifested, that a close prison, a long sword, a High Court, and a bloody scaffold, have not in the least altered my judgment. Whereas also the cruelty of the sentence, the insufficiency of the proofs, and my own innocency, are demonstrated. As also my grounds and reasons of giving in a narrative, and the lawfulness of the matter and titles of my petitions (though to usurpers) manifested and maintained. Together with a declaration of my judgement concerning Cromwells unlawfull invasion of the kingdom of Scotland. Written by me Christopher Love, Master of Arts, minister of Lawrence Iury, London; penned by me the eighth of August, fourteen days before my death.	Love, Christopher, 1618-1651.	1651 (1651)	Wing L3148; Thomason E790_5; ESTC R202748	58,288	49

this_o they_o will_v pull_v down_o monarchy_n and_o turn_v all_o to_o anarchy_n 2._o this_o war_n in_o the_o year_n 1650._o be_v worse_a than_o that_o intend_v about_o the_o year_n 1640._o because_o than_o we_o be_v not_o under_o so_o many_o covenant_n and_o engagement_n one_o towards_o another_o as_o now_o we_o be_v cromwell_n invade_v they_o after_o a_o covenant_n and_o article_n of_o agreement_n for_o assistance_n make_v with_o they_o after_o help_v and_o brotherly_a assistance_n receive_v from_o they_o yet_o he_o have_v forget_v the_o brotherly_a covenant_n with_o they_o and_o all_o the_o kindness_n we_o have_v have_v from_o they_o in_o the_o day_n of_o out_o deep_a distress_n three_o this_o war_n have_v not_o such_o a_o authority_n as_o the_o former_a have_v the_o first_o be_v raise_v by_o the_o king_n and_o his_o council_n this_o by_o cromwell_n and_o a_o faction_n four_o the_o soldier_n many_o of_o they_o do_v behave_v themselves_o worse_o than_o the_o soldier_n the_o king_n and_o bishop_n do_v raise_v against_o the_o scot_n at_o first_o the_o king_n soldier_n be_v but_o ignorant_a and_o profane_a these_o many_o of_o they_o heretic_n and_o blasphemer_n those_o do_v pull_v down_o cross_n and_o picture_n these_o pull_v down_o ordinance_n those_o drink_v with_o wine_n or_o strong_a drink_n but_o these_o drink_v with_o error_n have_v a_o spirit_n of_o giddiness_n and_o contradiction_n against_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v the_o worst_a sort_n of_o drunkenness_n five_o far_o worse_o in_o the_o event_n also_o in_o the_o king_n and_o bishop_n war_v not_o above_o 14_o slay_v one_o both_o side_n but_o in_o this_o war_n cromwell_n with_o a_o more_o cruel_a and_o bloody_a mind_n have_v most_o barbarous_o slay_v at_o least_o 10000_o of_o the_o scotish_a nation_n since_o he_o enter_v scotland_n oh_o the_o bloody_a cruelty_n of_o this_o man_n 2._o a_o second_o reason_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o time_n when_o cromwell_n invade_v they_o it_o be_v not_o when_o scotland_n be_v overrun_v with_o malignity_n during_o the_o time_n of_o hambletons_n prevalency_n but_o it_o be_v when_o the_o power_n of_o that_o kingdom_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o most_o religious_a and_o covenant_a party_n in_o scotland_n after_o hamblitons_n army_n be_v destroy_v and_o montrosse_n defeat_v and_o the_o godly_a party_n who_o manage_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n for_o these_o 14_o year_n faithful_o have_v all_o the_o power_n of_o that_o kingdom_n in_o their_o hand_n than_o cromwell_n invade_v they_o which_o to_o i_o be_v a_o evident_a demonstration_n that_o the_o invasion_n of_o scotland_n be_v by_o the_o instigation_n of_o jesuit_n and_o the_o papist_n party_n to_o root_v out_o the_o protestant_a party_n in_o ●cotland_fw-la and_o to_o bring_v their_o person_n in_o vassalage_n and_o thraldom_n as_o to_o their_o civil_a liberty_n 3._o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o slight_a ground_n cromwell_n have_v to_o invade_v scotland_n because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v a_o commonwealth_n therefore_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o people_n because_o they_o will_v not_o break_v their_o covenant_n therefore_o cromwell_n will_v break_v they_o because_o the●_z will_v not_o lay_v their_o conscience_n waste_v he_o will_v lay_v their_o land_n waste_n and_o make_v it_o desolate_a because_o the_o scot_n be_v for_o a_o scriptural_a presbytery_n and_o a_o well-regulated_a monarchy_n for_o find_v doctrine_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o cromwell_n be_v so_o much_o their_o enemy_n whatever_o else_o may_v be_v pretend_v ●et_v these_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n why_o cromwell_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o jesuited_a spanish_a faction_n do_v invade_v the_o neighbour_n nation_n 4._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o wicked_a end_n cromwell_n aim_v at_o in_o his_o invade_v scotland_n viz._n mere_o to_o satisfy_v his_o ambitious_a and_o covetous_a desire_n to_o be_v absolute_a lord_n of_o the_o estate_n liberty_n and_o life_n of_o all_o the_o people_n in_o these_o 3._o nation_n it_o do_v not_o content_v he_o to_o have_v one_o kingdom_n viz._n ireland_n for_o ireton_n his_o son_n nor_o another_o kingdom_n viz._n england_n for_o himself_o but_o he_o must_v have_v scotland_n also_o his_o end_n be_v as_o be_v that_o of_o the_o child_n of_o ammon_n invade_v israel_n in_o amos_n 1._o 13._o that_o they_o may_v enlarge_v their_o border_n his_o end_n and_o the_o end_n his_o soldier_n aim_n be_v like_o that_o of_o the_o chaldaean_n 13._o

two_o countrve_n viz._n england_n and_o scotland_n shall_v be_v i_o and_o i_o will_v possess_v they_o nor_o will_v all_o this_o content_v he_o he_o seek_v to_o be_v a_o universal_a monarch_n like_o
