haines_n his_o appeal_n to_o the_o general_a assembly_n of_o dependent_a baptist_n convene_v in_o london_n from_o most_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n the_o three_o day_n of_o june_n 1680._o whereas_o i_o have_v make_v my_o appeal_n to_o your_o court_n for_o justice_n against_o matthew_n caffyn_n who_o be_v one_o of_o your_o member_n immediate_o after_o the_o fact_n i_o complain_v of_o be_v commit_v for_o these_o reason_n follow_v viz._n 1._o i_o do_v so_o appeal_v to_o you_o rather_o than_o to_o other_o because_o you_o be_v the_o high_a court_n and_o from_o which_o there_o be_v no_o appeal_n as_o you_o suppose_v 2._o because_o the_o crime_n be_v of_o a_o high_a nature_n and_o do_v not_o only_o call_v in_o question_n but_o strike_v at_o the_o authority_n prerogative_n and_o law_n of_o the_o king_n etc._n etc._n 3._o because_o it_o be_v a_o lead_a case_n never_o practise_v by_o any_o church_n in_o the_o world_n and_o in_o itself_o more_o cruel_a and_o unjust_a than_o what_o be_v approve_v of_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n wherefore_o i_o expect_v justice_n speedy_o to_o be_v obtain_v and_o also_o you_o have_v power_n so_o to_o do_v first_o i_o expect_v justice_n because_o i_o be_v inform_v by_o divers_a member_n of_o your_o court_n that_o you_o have_v power_n to_o redress_v grievance_n reverse_v unjust_a judgement_n and_o correct_v offender_n etc._n etc._n 2._o by_o reason_n i_o have_v liberty_n give_v i_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o caffyn_n court_n and_o that_o too_o without_o show_n of_o dislike_n of_o any_o member_n to_o make_v my_o appeal_n to_o who_o i_o will_v 3._o by_o reason_n i_o give_v your_o unjust_a judge_n and_o his_o fellow-criminals_a timely_a notice_n that_o i_o will_v make_v my_o appeal_n to_o this_o high_a court._n 4._o because_o the_o fact_n be_v notorious_o scandalous_a to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o the_o profession_n and_o those_o that_o be_v honest_a professor_n and_o therefore_o deserve_v speedy_a correction_n thus_o i_o come_v to_o your_o court_n to_o let_v you_o know_v that_o my_o witness_n be_v present_a to_o prove_v the_o premise_n but_o i_o soon_o perceive_v several_a of_o the_o apostle_n hereafter_o mention_v to_o look_v asquint_o when_o i_o press_v for_o justice_n and_o that_o instead_o of_o accept_v of_o my_o appeal_n they_o cunning_o will_v if_o possible_a have_v persuade_v i_o both_o then_o and_o every_o court_n since_o to_o refer_v it_o notwithstanding_o you_o well_o know_v i_o come_v not_o to_o refer_v but_o to_o make_v my_o appeal_n for_o justice_n wherefore_o when_o i_o resolute_o avoid_v that_o bait_n you_o then_o tell_v i_o that_o according_a to_o the_o law_n or_o canon_n of_o your_o court_n i_o must_v first_o make_v my_o appeal_n to_o a_o quarterly_o meet_v in_o the_o same_o country_n where_o the_o fact_n be_v commit_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o by_o consent_n of_o each_o party_n you_o have_v power_n to_o accept_v of_o a_o appeal_n as_o well_o as_o a_o reference_n i_o also_o plead_v that_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a for_o you_o to_o compel_v i_o to_o make_v my_o appeal_n to_o such_o a_o court_n as_o have_v give_v their_o consent_n to_o the_o criminal_n proceed_n before_o they_o be_v act_v they_o be_v inferior_a person_n and_o over_o who_o the_o say_v criminal_a himself_n be_v supreme_a bishop_n and_o universal_a apostle_n howbeit_o force_v i_o be_v to_o this_o unjust_a and_o crooked_a method_n but_o the_o more_o willing_a i_o be_v to_o submit_v because_o you_o promise_v i_o that_o if_o justice_n be_v not_o do_v in_o the_o country_n than_o you_o will_v accept_v of_o my_o appeal_n and_o do_v i_o justice_n but_o alas_o that_o design_n of_o the_o confederate_n i_o perceive_v be_v to_o wear_v out_o time_n corrupt_a witness_n tire_v i_o out_o with_o expensive_a attendance_n to_o wrest_v justice_n justify_v the_o villain_n and_o scandalize_v the_o oppress_v as_o plain_o thus_o appear_v viz._n for_o that_o when_o i_o have_v follow_v your_o own_o method_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o nothing_o be_v do_v in_o the_o country_n to_o determine_v the_o matter_n according_a to_o justice_n i_o then_o do_v again_o appeal_v to_o your_o court_n with_o hope_n to_o obtain_v justice_n but_o contrariwise_o i_o find_v a_o great_a part_n of_o your_o apostle_n to_o be_v traitor_n to_o justice_n and_o damnable_a enemy_n to_o my_o appeal_n which_o they_o oppose_v with_o may_v and_o main_a notwithstanding_o their_o promise_n to_o accept_v thereof_o howbeit_o to_o the_o vote_n it_o be_v put_v and_o the_o honest_a party_n out-voted_n the_o opposer_n and_o much_o against_o their_o stomach_n to_o a_o hear_v it_o come_v but_o then_o to_o prevent_v justice_n a_o plot_n must_v be_v lay_v against_o my_o witness_n and_o though_o their_o reputation_n be_v unspotted_a yet_o they_o must_v be_v censure_v and_o look_v upon_o as_o perjure_a person_n or_o such_o rogue_n and_o villain_n as_o will_v false_o accuse_v the_o innocent_a and_o under_o that_o pretence_n be_v not_o then_o suffer_v to_o make_v use_n of_o their_o paper_n in_o which_o for_o their_o memory_n they_o have_v write_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o they_o hear_v to_o prevent_v mistake_n but_o they_o must_v speak_v what_o they_o know_v and_o as_o they_o can_v remember_v without_o they_o though_o several_a year_n have_v pass_v between_o and_o when_o they_o have_v speak_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v but_o one_o of_o caffyn_n faction_n be_v chairman_n the_o court_n be_v dissolve_v in_o confusion_n and_o then_o say_v that_o god_n have_v withdraw_v himself_o from_o they_o so_o that_o i_o well_o perceive_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o attend_v this_o court_n with_o my_o witness_n any_o long_o until_o it_o purge_v itself_o of_o its_o corrupt_a partial_a and_o unjust_a member_n howbeit_o about_o a_o year_n or_o two_o before_o this_o last_o court_n the_o matter_n in_o controversy_n be_v debate_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o major_a part_n of_o your_o court_n and_o by_o such_o the_o major_a part_n of_o your_o court_n that_o very_a thing_n with_o all_o its_o circumstance_n for_o which_o i_o be_v condemn_v be_v judge_v and_o declare_v to_o be_v both_o lawful_a just_a and_o honest_a notwithstanding_o my_o witness_n be_v not_o hear_v but_o only_o as_o they_o take_v it_o from_o the_o criminal_n own_o mouth_n moreover_o you_o know_v that_o several_a person_n member_n of_o your_o court_n have_v express_o either_o honest_o or_o deceitful_o admonish_v the_o say_v unjust_a judge_n etc._n etc._n to_o put_v away_o the_o evil_a of_o his_o do_n by_o repentance_n etc._n etc._n as_o a_o copy_n thereof_o subscribe_v will_v demonstrate_v notwithstanding_o all_o which_o you_o also_o know_v that_o he_o as_o a_o heretic_n remain_v obstinate_a persevere_v in_o his_o act_n of_o wickedness_n and_o repent_v not_o wherefore_o know_v you_o that_o by_o these_o present_n and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o he_o and_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o gospel_n under_o who_o and_o for_o which_o you_o pretend_v to_o hold_v this_o court_n i_o do_v now_o demand_v judgement_n against_o the_o say_a matthew_n caffyn_n and_o also_o that_o you_o forthwith_o reverse_v his_o unrighteous_a judgement_n as_o be_v sinful_a papistical_a cruel_a and_o unjust_a and_o that_o you_o admonish_v his_o congregation_n who_o through_o flattery_n threat_n or_o any_o other_o way_n be_v delude_v to_o join_v with_o he_o in_o his_o sinful_a practice_n to_o put_v away_o the_o evil_a of_o their_o do_n by_o repentance_n and_o give_v satisfaction_n answerable_a to_o the_o injury_n which_o by_o mean_n thereof_o have_v be_v occasion_v for_o it_o may_v be_v judge_v that_o they_o to_o wit_n his_o simple_a congregation_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o sense_n of_o your_o court_n and_o of_o the_o admonition_n you_o send_v they_o but_o if_o now_o at_o last_o after_o all_o your_o pretence●_n and_o promise_v that_o justice_n shall_v be_v do_v your_o declaration_n that_o that_o very_a thing_n with_o all_o its_o circumstance_n for_o which_o i_o be_v condemn_v be_v just_a honest_a and_o lawful_a your_o admonish_v he_o to_o put_v away_o the_o evil_a of_o his_o do_n by_o repentance_n etc._n etc._n i_o say_v if_o after_o this_o long_o wait_v all_o this_o be_v but_o seven_o year_n hypocrisy_n and_o deceit_n and_o that_o you_o at_o this_o time_n also_o refuse_v to_o give_v judgement_n against_o the_o say_a unjust_a and_o papistical_a apostle_n then_o know_v you_o by_o these_o present_n that_o i_o demand_v satisfaction_n of_o this_o court_n and_o as_o it_o be_v my_o duty_n so_o i_o will_v according_a to_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o true_a apostle_n of_o christ_n submit_v myself_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a or_o unto_o governor_n as_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v send_v by_o he_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n and_o for_o the_o praise_n
