whether_o under_o popery_n the_o mystery_n of_o the_o national_a priesthood_n be_v not_o rather_o hold_v up_o by_o the_o power_n of_o prince_n and_o state_n than_o state_n themselves_o by_o such_o a_o

rather_o a_o way_n of_o antichristian_a mystery_n then_o of_o zeal_n to_o religion_n or_o the_o power_n of_o magistracy_n 2_o consider_v whether_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n any_o other_o sceptre_n shall_v be_v lift_v up_o then_o that_o golden_a one_o of_o his_o own_o and_o whether_o if_o there_o be_v a_o kingdom_n of_o god_n if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o lawgiver_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n the_o interpreter_n of_o those_o law_n and_o this_o kingdom_n of_o god_n within_o the_o throne_n of_o that_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n the_o lord_n jesus_n any_o other_o power_n shall_v rule_v any_o other_o sceptre_n any_o other_o law_n or_o any_o other_o sit_v down_o in_o that_o throne_n which_o be_v only_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o son_n of_o david_n who_o throne_n be_v for_o ever_o the_o sceptre_n of_o who_o kingdom_n be_v a_o everlasting_a sceptre_n 3_o consider_v whether_o there_o be_v not_o a_o heathenish_a or_o gentilish_a world_n and_o a_o antichristian_a world_n or_o a_o world_n of_o many_o call_v christian_n and_o believer_n in_o christ_n and_o yet_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v neither_o of_o these_o and_o if_o so_o whether_o be_v all_o this_o kingdom_n of_o england_n that_o church_n of_o christ_n or_o not_o rather_o much_o of_o it_o that_o part_n of_o the_o antichristian_a world_n over_o which_o one_o part_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n have_v sit_v long_o and_o be_v yet_o upon_o it_o and_o if_o so_o then_o be_v there_o not_o room_n in_o england_n both_o for_o presbyterial_a church_n and_o believer_n of_o other_o way_n to_o live_v in_o that_o part_n of_o this_o kingdom_n which_o be_v the_o world_n and_o not_o that_o church_n and_o if_o so_o you_o may_v be_v rich_a in_o people_n rich_a in_o peace_n rich_a in_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n honourable_a go_v on_o to_o do_v worthy_a thing_n for_o our_o nation_n as_o worthy_a thing_n have_v be_v do_v by_o you_o and_o may_v you_o be_v as_o the_o wing_n of_o a_o dove_n cover_v with_o silver_n and_o her_o feather_n with_o yellow_a gold_n so_o pray_v your_o humble_a faithful_a servant_n john_n saltmarsh_n to_o the_o
