comparison_n shall_v be_v father_v on_o so_o reverend_a and_o worthy_a a_o person_n as_o mr._n baxter_n we_o appeal_v to_o he_o and_o other_o learned_a and_o godly_a of_o the_o presbyterian_a brethren_n whether_o they_o do_v not_o know_v many_o sequester_a minister_n no_o less_o learned_a and_o godly_a than_o their_o ejector_n nay_o let_v they_o say_v if_o they_o do_v not_o know_v where_o learned_a and_o godly_a man_n have_v be_v put_v out_o and_o boy_n and_o self-seeking_a temporizer_n have_v be_v put_v in_o but_o this_o be_v the_o question_n whether_o those_o light_n which_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n set_v up_o in_o the_o candlestick_n or_o those_o williams-with_a thewispe_n that_o violence_n and_o usurpation_n conjure_v up_o have_v the_o best_a claim_n to_o the_o candlestick_n the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o or_o no_o a_o hopeful_a reformation_n shall_v be_v make_v blank_a and_o void_v but_o whether_o oppression_n shall_v prevail_v under_o the_o name_n of_o reformation_n for_o many_o of_o we_o can_v profess_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o our_o prayer_n to_o he_o and_o our_o endeavour_n with_o man_n have_v be_v frequent_a and_o sincere_a to_o this_o effect_n that_o the_o nation_n may_v be_v reform_v from_o ignorance_n and_o profaneness_n and_o sectarianisme_n and_o be_v make_v a_o body_n of_o intelligent_a serious_a and_o unite_a christian_n and_o if_o any_o among_o we_o strive_v to_o hinder_v that_o work_n we_o will_v join_v in_o read_v from_o mount_n ebal_n that_o curse_n against_o such_o let_v the_o great_a master_n lay_v they_o aside_o as_o vessess_v in_o which_o he_o have_v no_o pleasure_n here_o therefore_o we_o adjure_v our_o brethren_n who_o own_o the_o knowledge_n and_o conscience_n of_o what_o be_v just_a and_o equal_a not_o to_o labour_v further_o by_o clamour_n and_o importunity_n and_o false_a imputation_n to_o hinder_v his_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o this_o his_o happy_a parliament_n from_o harken_v to_o our_o just_a suit_n and_o the_o cry_n of_o our_o impoverish_v wife_n and_o child_n and_o the_o groan_n and_o desire_n of_o our_o scatter_a slock_n who_o eye_n &_o heart_n be_v general_o towards_o we_o their_o lawful_a pastor_n our_o desire_n be_v not_o to_o obstruct_v the_o way_n of_o any_o that_o have_v be_v in_o our_o live_n if_o deserve_v man_n from_o such_o preferment_n or_o employment_n as_o they_o may_v lawful_o pursue_v and_o we_o confess_v there_o be_v many_o of_o they_o of_o such_o eminency_n for_o part_n and_o piety_n &_o moderation_n that_o they_o be_v much_o likely_a to_o be_v exalt_v to_o the_o high_a sphere_n in_o the_o church_n than_o most_o of_o we_o a●●_n and_o we_o see_v it_o and_o rejoice_v in_o it_o blessing_n god_n from_o the_o bottom_n of_o our_o heart_n for_o so_o prudent_a and_o pious_a a_o prince_n that_o his_o majesty_n favour_n lie_v in_o common_a for_o brethren_n both_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a and_o episcopal_a judgement_n but_o this_o we_o ask_v not_o only_o for_o our_o own_o sake_n but_o that_o the_o ministry_n be_v not_o blame_v and_o that_o a_o stumble_v block_n may_v not_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o way_n of_o worldling_n who_o plead_v minister_n leap_v upon_o other_o man_n threshold_n to_o the_o harden_v of_o themselves_o and_o that_o the_o mouth_n of_o our_o common_a adversary_n may_v be_v stop_v give_v we_o up_o our_o right_n show_v that_o you_o do_v but_o take_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o slock_n till_o the_o rightful_a shepherd_n be_v again_o free_a to_o look_v to_o they_o and_o stop_v the_o further_a progress_n of_o that_o jealousy_n that_o be_v already_o enter_v into_o the_o head_n of_o some_o both_o your_o and_o our_o better_n that_o the_o presbyterian_a minister_n manifest_v such_o discontent_n and_o spirit_n their_o prayer_n and_o preach_v with_o the_o former_a pretence_n of_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n not_o because_o of_o their_o distance_n from_o the_o episcopal_a in_o point_n of_o church_n order_n but_o for_o fear_v they_o shall_v by_o law_n be_v compel_v to_o forgo_v the_o sweet_a morsel_n of_o sequester_a live_v we_o be_v sure_a many_o of_o you_o abhor_v from_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v give_v rise_v to_o this_o suspiition_n and_o for_o those_o that_o do_v otherwise_o the_o lord_n will_v judge_v they_o post_z script_n whereas_o the_o late_a saturday_n petition_v of_o some_o in_o

that_o in_o the_o general_a ●oy_n of_o the_o kingdom_n they_o may_v n●●_n be_v sa●ed_v by_o be_v leave_v to_o be_v procee_v against_o by_o a_o course_n of_o law_n we_o hereafter_o to_o make_v it_o

at_o worcester_n and_o to_o lambert_n in_o cheshire_n nay_o among_o those_o that_o subscribe_v that_o petition_n may_v we_o but_o know_v their_o name_n we_o question_v not_o but_o to_o find_v many_o offender_n of_o that_o foot_n mark_v and_o it_o be_v evident_a enough_o both_o to_o his_o majesty_n ●nd_v the_o parliament_n that_o they_o be_v the_o man_n who_o by_o their_o preach_n at_o present_a have_v conjure_v up_o the_o old_a devil_n of_o fea●s_n and_o jealousy_n and_o will_v choose_v rather_o to_o imbroil_v we_o again_o in_o a_o civil_a war_n than_o part_n with_o their-not-their_a live_n and_o we_o wonder_v they_o can_v plead_v for_n pity_n to_o themselves_o who_o will_v know_v no_o pity_n to_o their_o poor_a brethren_n we_o can_v instance_n where_o some_o of_o they_o have_v run_v
