but_o only_o such_o a_o credence_n as_o be_v ground_v upon_o probable_a argument_n and_o reason_n which_o first_o work_v upon_o our_o judgement_n do_v afterwards_o convince_v our_o conscience_n to_o believe_v the_o same_o now_o that_o we_o have_v sufficient_a reason_n thus_o to_o believe_v let_v we_o but_o a_o little_a call_v to_o mind_v the_o plot_n of_o bring_v up_o the_o army_n out_o of_o the_o north_n the_o attempt_n make_v against_o the_o five_o member_n the_o withdraw_n of_o the_o king_n from_o his_o faithful_a council_n the_o active_a instrument_n which_o have_v be_v employ_v into_o foreign_a part_n to_o provide_v arm_n ammunition_n and_o commander_n the_o bring_n of_o they_o over_o from_o time_n to_o time_n their_o design_n to_o seize_v upon_o many_o of_o the_o strong_a hold_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o put_n of_o the_o arm_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o untrusty_a commissioner_n of_o array_n the_o arm_n of_o the_o papist_n contrary_a to_o law_n the_o correspondence_n

be_v sufficient_a argument_n to_o induce_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v but_o high_a time_n for_o the_o parliament_n to_o raise_v force_n and_o to_o continue_v they_o for_o their_o just_a defence_n again_o consider_v also_o the_o set_n up_o of_o mass_n in_o york_n and_o oxford_n the_o many_o jesuit_n priest_n and_o j●suited_a papist_n that_o be_v in_o the_o adverse_a army_n who_o romish_a plot_n be_v only_o to_o advance_v the_o catholic_a cause_n and_o ruin_v our_o religion_n beside_o the_o grant_n of_o so_o many_o commission_n for_o array_n which_o be_v so_o destructive_a to_o the_o subject_n liberty_n the_o pillage_n and_o plunder_v of_o the_o house_n and_o estate_n of_o the_o best_a subject_n and_o burn_v of_o their_o habitation_n and_o we_o can_v but_o be_v

ability_n if_o we_o be_v not_o set_v to_o serve_v in_o person_n and_o with_o our_o advice_n and_o prayer_n also_o for_o their_o good_a success_n and_o he_o be_v no_o true_a friend_n either_o to_o parliament_n religion_n or_o liberty_n that_o upon_o information_n shall_v refuse_v to_o make_v this_o vow_n beside_o it_o be_v but_o high_a time_n that_o man_n shall_v by_o such_o a_o sacred_a bond_n be_v quicken_v unto_o this_o assistance_n in_o these_o time_n wherein_o so_o many_o grow_v weary_a of_o the_o work_n and_o by_o withdraw_v their_o person_n and_o purse_n from_o assist_v do_v much_o endanger_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n 5._o that_o we_o will_v likewise_o assist_v all_o other_o person_n that_o shall_v take_v this_o oath_n in_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v in_o pursuance_n thereof_o neither_o can_v this_o be_v just_o scruple_v for_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o this_o covenant_n ourselves_o and_o in_o pursuance_n of_o any_o thing_n contain_v in_o it_o we_o shall_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o assistance_n of_o other_o as_o we_o shall_v desire_v so_o we_o can_v but_o think_v ourselves_o much_o injure_v if_o we_o find_v not_o assistance_n from_o they_o and_o then_o the_o law_n of_o requital_n do_v require_v that_o when_o occasion_n be_v offer_v we_o shall_v not_o withdraw_v our_o help_n from_o they_o also_o beside_o by_o this_o union_n among_o ourselves_o the_o common_a cause_n of_o god_n and_o the_o kingdom_n will_v be_v much_o strengthen_v and_o every_o undertaker_n in_o it_o will_v be_v much_o encourage_v when_o they_o see_v so_o many_o by_o so_o strong_a a_o bond_n to_o be_v engage_v to_o their_o help_n again_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v but_o that_o this_o covenant_n will_v excite_v and_o provoke_v the_o hatred_n of_o the_o adverse_a party_n against_o the_o undertaker_n of_o it_o exceed_o whereof_o we_o have_v late_a experience_n in_o our_o brethren_n of_o scotland_n so_o much_o hate_v and_o prosecute_v under_o the_o name_n of_o covenanter_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n to_o tie_v ourselves_o to_o mutual_a assistance_n for_o our_o better_a support_n against_o the_o odium_fw-la and_o rage_n of_o the_o adversary_n 6._o that_o we_o will_v not_o direct_o or_o indirect_o adhere_v unto_o nor_o shall_v willing_o assist_v the_o force_n raise_v by_o the_o king_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n herein_o provision_n be_v make_v against_o equivocation_n and_o those_o cunning_a trick_n and_o evasion_n which_o many_o find_v out_o to_o cousin_n both_o themselves_o and_o other_o as_o when_o a_o man_n will_v not_o send_v himself_o but_o will_v suffer_v his_o wife_n or_o child_n or_o other_o friend_n to_o do_v it_o as_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o many_o hundred_o in_o several_a part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n who_o themselves_o have_v lend_v money_n or_o send_v a_o horse_n to_o the_o parliament_n but_o have_v suffer_v their_o wife_n or_o son_n to_o send_v twice_o so_o much_o to_o the_o king_n that_o so_o by_o comply_v with_o both_o they_o may_v escape_v the_o displeasure_n of_o either_o beside_o many_o who_o live_v in_o some_o place_n have_v be_v ashamed_a to_o own_o the_o support_n of_o the_o king_n force_n yet_o under_o hand_n they_o have_v contribute_v much_o to_o they_o but_o now_o it_o be_v require_v that_o neither_o direct_o nor_o indirect_o we_o be_v aid_v to_o they_o and_o yet_o because_o many_o who_o heart_n be_v upright_o with_o god_n and_o his_o cause_n live_v under_o the_o power_n or_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o barbarous_a and_o bloody_a cavalier_n so_o that_o the_o not_o contribute_v to_o they_o may_v endanger_v their_o life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n therefore_o be_v that_o word_n put_v in_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o willing_o assist_v but_o only_o in_o the_o case_n aforementioned_a and_o if_o we_o do_v but_o serious_o consider_v the_o aim_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o king_n force_n evident_o discover_v to_o all_o that_o be_v not_o wilful_o blind_a and_o their_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o prosecute_v the_o same_o we_o may_v easy_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o god_n and_o his_o gospel_n and_o to_o the_o parliament_n and_o their_o liberty_n to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o its_o law_n who_o will_v willing_o be_v assistant_n to_o they_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v brief_o run_v over_o this_o covenant_n in_o every_o branch_n of_o it_o and_o thereby_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o in_o the_o subject_a matter_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o examine_v it_o by_o the_o other_o rule_v require_v in_o a_o lawful_a covenant_n that_o so_o i_o may_v full_o vindicate_v it_o from_o all_o hesitation_n the_o second_o thing_n require_v be_v that_o it_o be_v know_v to_o be_v lawful_a at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o take_n of_o it_o for_o which_o end_n the_o parliament_n have_v long_o since_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v publish_v in_o print_n that_o so_o all_o man_n may_v see_v it_o and_o have_v time_n full_o to_o inform_v themselves_o of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o and_o in_o case_n that_o any_o doubt_n shall_v arise_v they_o may_v repair_v to_o those_o which_o be_v fit_a and_o able_a to_o resolve_v they_o that_o so_o no_o scruple_n may_v remain_v at_o their_o take_n of_o it_o three_o it_o must_v be_v with_o a_o purpose_n of_o keep_v it_o and_o ill_o may_v he_o fair_a that_o shall_v make_v this_o covenant_n with_o any_o other_o purpose_n whatsoever_o for_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a as_o be_v prove_v before_o and_o that_o thereupon_o we_o engage_v ourselves_o by_o it_o it_o must_v needs_o argue_v
