to_o the_o honourable_a committee_n of_o kent_z gentleman_n my_o service_n in_o all_o humility_n present_v unto_o you_o for_o accommodate_v so_o far_o as_o necessary_o may_v be_v of_o your_o desire_n

my_o name_n set_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o postscript_n there_o be_v some_o little_a vary_v therein_o from_o any_o maniscript_n of_o i_o and_o since_o our_o saviour_n do_v propound_v to_o such_o as_o profess_v his_o name_n as_o well_o to_o be_v wise_a as_o scrpent_n as_o innocent_a as_o dove_n and_o since_o neither_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o law_n of_o nation_n nor_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v require_v or_o exact_v from_o any_o a_o self_n accusation_n and_o be_v strong_o persuade_v that_o it_o have_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o thought_n of_o your_o heart_n or_o the_o heart_n

palpable_a discovery_n to_o my_o own_o and_o the_o common_a eye_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o this_o kingdom_n whether_o myself_o and_o other_o which_o have_v be_v persecute_v since_o the_o repeal_n of_o those_o conscience-binding_a law_n by_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o in_o parliament_n as_o in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o directory_n appear_v have_v be_v so_o persecute_v by_o law_n or_o without_o law_n and_o if_o by_o law_n that_o then_o there_o may_v be_v a_o incessant_a endeavour_n by_o petitionary_a and_o supplicatory_a way_n to_o procure_v a_o further_a and_o final_a repeal_n of_o those_o and_o other_o of_o the_o same_o affinity_n if_o any_o such_o be_v yet_o in_o be_v put_v if_o divine_a providence_n have_v so_o dispose_v that_o the_o sting_n of_o such_o

more_o than_o by_o any_o ordinary_a construction_n can_v be_v natural_o draw_v from_o any_o part_n or_o passage_n therein_o there_o be_v to_o my_o remembrance_n neither_o court_n person_n person_n

your_o judicious_a consideration_n these_o three_o query_n ensue_v viz._n quere_z i._o first_o if_o a_o man_n be_v enjoin_v to_o enter_v into_o obligation_n of_o vast_a sum_n to_o conform_v himself_o to_o promiscuous_a and_o illegal_a restriction_n of_o his_o birthright_n privilege_n and_o shall_v in_o obedience_n thereunto_o both_o confine_n and_o conform_v himself_o so_o far_o that_o no_o colour_n of_o advantage_n can_v be_v take_v for_o nonconformity_n and_o so_o of_o course_n the_o party_n discharge_v from_o such_o obligation_n and_o notwithstanding_o upon_o the_o discharge_n therefrom_o there_o be_v premonition_n and_o threat_n from_o the_o judge_n for_o nonconformity_n as_o before_o to_o inflict_v the_o same_o punishment_n quere_z ii_o second_o if_o a_o man_n appeal_n to_o a_o court_n that_o if_o he_o have_v offend_v the_o law_n he_o desire_v to_o be_v punish_v by_o law_n if_o otherwise_o that_o by_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o court_n he_o may_v be_v acquit_v and_o notwithstanding_o sentence_n be_v pronounce_v against_o such_o a_o one_o contrary_a to_o law_n quere_z iii_o three_o if_o a_o wrong_a party_n be_v indict_v and_o arrest_v for_o exercise_v religious_a duty_n etc._n etc._n commit_v to_o prison_n bring_v forth_o before_o a_o court_n of_o judicature_n claim_v the_o privilege_n of_o a_o subject_a as_o in_o the_o same_o case_n be_v due_a unto_o he_o and_o notwithstanding_o the_o court_n shall_v prosecute_v against_o sentence_n and_o re-imprison_a such_o a_o one_o what_o be_v any_o wise_a intimate_v touch_v the_o miscarriage_n of_o transactor_n it_o appear_v to_o i_o to_o reflect_v equal_o from_o both_o party_n now_o in_o contestation_n and_o as_o arbitrary_a exaction_n can_v be_v transubstantiate_v into_o subject_n privilege_n by_o mutation_n of_o term_n and_o not_o thing_n so_o for_o my_o own_o part_n it_o be_v my_o hearty_a desire_n that_o they_o may_v rather_o by_o mutual_a act_n of_o oblivion_n be_v bury_v in_o the_o land_n of_o forgetfulness_n then_o to_o be_v muster_v up_o to_o be_v exhibit_v in_o their_o number_n or_o nature_n to_o the_o public_a view_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o seventeen_o digestion_n or_o conditional_a proposition_n therein_o insert_v i_o conceive_v what_o be_v demonstrate_v in_o they_o be_v serious_o ponder_v and_o digest_v may_v by_o christian_a composition_n produce_v wolsome_a ingredient_n to_o work_v the_o pulse_n of_o this_o kingdom_n to_o a_o more_o comply_a constitution_n for_o the_o future_a peace_n and_o wellbeing_a thereof_o then_o yet_o appear_v as_o well_o as_o

thing_n speak_v or_o act_v i_o suppose_v they_o will_v not_o have_v be_v insert_v without_o i_o fear_v but_o too_o manifest_a evidence_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o they_o and_o i_o humble_o conceive_v
