enemy_n and_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o seek_v not_o vengeance_n upon_o their_o adversary_n but_o they_o bear_v all_o thing_n patient_o and_o such_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o not_o transgressor_n of_o his_o law_n nor_o the_o just_a law_n of_o man_n and_o if_o such_o do_v suffer_v by_o a_o law_n that_o law_n be_v unjust_a and_o so_o be_v that_o magistrate_n that_o execute_v that_o law_n and_o that_o suffering_n be_v not_o for_o evil_a do_v but_o for_o a_o good_a conscience_n sake_n and_o the_o innocent_a can_v rejoice_v in_o such_o suffering_n but_o the_o executioner_n thereof_o shall_v howl_v and_o weep_v so_o that_o in_o all_o age_n there_o be_v such_o suffering_n which_o be_v not_o for_o evil_a do_v but_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o a_o pure_a conscience_n and_o such_o suffering_n there_o be_v at_o this_o day_n and_o this_o be_v because_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o the_o unjust_a bear_v rule_v which_o subvert_v the_o law_n and_o turn_v true_a judgement_n backward_o and_o oppress_v the_o seed_n of_o god_n and_o rule_n over_o it_o in_o tyranny_n and_o this_o be_v where_o darkness_n rule_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o ignorance_n in_o the_o mind_n and_o true_a judgement_n be_v want_v for_o light_n be_v call_v darkness_n and_o darkness_n light_n and_o good_a be_v put_v for_o evil_a and_o evil_a for_o good_a and_o truth_n be_v call_v heresy_n and_o

quite_o backward_o where_o the_o seed_n of_o enmity_n rule_v above_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n and_o such_o a_o government_n be_v not_o bless_v but_o make_v a_o curse_n unto_o that_o dominion_n where_o it_o be_v seat_v and_o this_o be_v because_o such_o be_v set_v to_o rule_v and_o govern_v who_o be_v not_o rule_v and_o govern_v by_o the_o lord_n but_o be_v in_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o

these_o thing_n and_o so_o to_o act_v and_o judge_n among_o man_n as_o they_o may_v give_v a_o good_a account_n unto_o god_n and_o all_o man_n and_o when_o a_o cause_n be_v bring_v before_o they_o to_o give_v judgement_n of_o or_o any_o accuse_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v execute_v the_o law_n upon_o they_o shall_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n first_o try_v into_o the_o

depend_v and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o wilful_a and_o purpose_a wrong_n or_o of_o ignorance_n then_o good_a reason_n and_o justice_n will_v teach_v a_o magistrate_n to_o defend_v the_o innocent_a from_o wrong_n or_o to_o restore_v his_o wrong_n by_o true_a judgement_n that_o his_o person_n and_o estate_n be_v free_v from_o all_o wrong_n and_o preserve_v and_o that_o the_o wrong_a dealer_n be_v restrain_v and_o punish_v and_o judge_v just_o according_a to_o his_o offence_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o conscience_n about_o religion_n or_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n than_o the_o magistrate_n with_o their_o law_n ought_v not_o to_o meddle_v therein_o or_o to_o judge_v of_o such_o matter_n for_o these_o thing_n concerning_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v spiritual_a be_v out_o of_o their_o jurisdiction_n and_o not_o in_o their_o power_n to_o judge_v of_o and_o if_o the_o controversy_n between_o man_n and_o man_n depend_v about_o such_o cause_n not_o have_v reflection_n upon_o person_n or_o estate_n but_o only_o about_o spiritual_a matter_n than_o magistrate_n with_o their_o law_n ought_v not_o to_o judge_n in_o these_o cause_n but_o spiritual_a man_n ought_v only_o to_o give_v their_o judgement_n hereof_o as_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o god_n and_o though_o man_n be_v in_o controversy_n about_o religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n yet_o if_o they_o be_v man_n of_o peace_n not_o wrong_v one_o another_o in_o their_o person_n or_o estate_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v both_o protect_v in_o a_o good_a government_n by_o the_o just_a and_o righteous_a law_n and_o here_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n be_v lay_v only_o upon_o the_o evil_a doer_n to_o be_v a_o terror_n and_o a_o punishment_n to_o he_o and_o to_o limit_v and_o restrain_v he_o from_o wrong_n deal_n and_o this_o be_v the_o end_n wherefore_o it_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n to_o be_v among_o man_n and_o not_o to_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o conscience_n to_o oppress_v and_o afflict_v the_o tender_a conscience_n of_o the_o upright_a who_o mind_n be_v exercise_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o such_o shall_v have_v praise_n that_o do_v well_o by_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n while_o it_o be_v a_o terror_n to_o all_o evil_a doer_n whatsoever_o and_o this_o be_v the_o perfect_a and_o wherefore_o the_o law_n be_v add_v and_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o herein_o by_o faithful_a and_o just_a executor_n be_v well_o please_a and_o acceptable_a to_o the_o lord_n and_o now_o as_o concerning_o this_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v oppression_n in_o the_o nation_n bring_v forth_o through_o the_o unjust_a and_o false_a execution_n of_o the_o law_n whereby_o many_o tender_a conscience_n be_v afflict_v and_o not_o for_o any_o wrong_a or_o evil_a do_v but_o for_o the_o

the_o people_n of_o the_o world_n do_v worship_n in_o and_o where_o they_o commit_v idolatry_n neither_o can_v they_o for_o conscience_n sake_n pay_v any_o thing_n to_o uphold_v such_o worship_n and_o
