when_o he_o leave_v his_o father_n sheep_n to_o go_v and_o fight_n goliath_n though_o david_n be_v but_o a_o little_a man_n to_o fight_v with_o that_o great_a giant_n yet_o he_o have_v a_o great_a

who_o be_v this_o uncircumcised_a philistine_n that_o he_o shall_v defy_v the_o army_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o the_o people_n answer_v he_o after_o this_o manner_n say_v so_o shall_v it_o be_v

why_o come_v thou_o down_o hither_o and_o with_o who_o have_v thou_o leave_v those_o few_o sheep_n in_o the_o wilderness_n i_o know_v thy_o pride_n and_o the_o naughtiness_n of_o thy_o heart_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v to_o meddle_v with_o state-matter_n thou_o little_a despicable_a shepherd_n that_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v trust_v with_o many_o

and_o in_o hope_n to_o make_v thyself_o great_a he_o can_v see_v as_o far_o into_o david_n heart_n then_o as_o some_o can_v into_o i_o now_o but_o pray_v mind_n david_n answer_n then_o and_o that_o

i_o his_o brother_n think_v it_o be_v a_o very_a unlikely_a thing_n that_o ever_o such_o a_o pititiful_a despicable_a shepherd_n as_o he_o be_v with_o his_o staff_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o his_o shepherd_n bag_n by_o his_o side_n with_o only_o five_o stone_n in_o it_o shall_v ever_o have_v slay_v great_a goliath_n while_o his_o brethren_n and_o all_o the_o great_a man_n and_o valiant_a accomplish_a soldier_n with_o the_o whole_a host_n of_o israel_n stand_v by_o and_o look_v on_o it_o be_v a_o very_a unlikely_a thing_n that_o such_o a_o stripling_n as_o he_o be_v shall_v conquer_v and_o kill_v that_o mighty_a giant_n but_o what_o be_v there_o too_o hard_a for_o the_o great_a god_n to_o do_v by_o any_o mean_n or_o instrument_n he_o please_v to_o make_v use_n of_o therefore_o let_v all_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n be_v ascribe_v unto_o god_n and_o not_o unto_o instrument_n and_o mean_n second_o my_o great_a reason_n of_o all_o for_o this_o my_o proceed_n in_o this_o way_n and_o manner_n be_v because_o my_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n of_o the_o sacramental_a test_n virtual_o and_o mystical_o a_o crucify_a by_o the_o penal_a law_n that_o be_v yet_o in_o be_v and_o will_v do_v until_o it_o be_v abolish_v for_o though_o his_o majesty_n have_v do_v what_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o take_v he_o down_o by_o which_o mean_n there_o be_v a_o cessation_n of_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o with_o a_o respect_n to_o the_o suffering_n of_o his_o people_n yet_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v worse_o than_o the_o effect_n remain_v still_o and_o there_o be_v some_o person_n that_o refuse_v to_o put_v their_o hand_n to_o help_v to_o take_v he_o down_o from_o this_o cross_n though_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n call_v upon_o we_o all_o now_o so_o to_o do_v but_o let_v such_o person_n have_v a_o care_n because_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n three_o my_o three_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o proceed_v be_v this_o viz._n because_o truth_n be_v treason_n with_o the_o persecuter_n about_o four_o or_o five_o year_n ago_o for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v but_o have_v say_v that_o conscience_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v restrain_v in_o mere_a matter_n of_o religion_n as_o his_o majesty_n in_o his_o gracious_a declaration_n have_v do_v the_o lord_n reward_v he_o for_o it_o he_o will_v have_v be_v severe_o deal_v withal_o and_o count_v a_o rebel_n and_o a_o enemy_n to_o the_o government_n and_o deal_v withal_o as_o such_o for_o i_o know_v a_o friend_n of_o i_o that_o be_v a_o constable_n that_o be_v complain_v against_o because_o he_o will_v not_o help_v to_o plunder_v his_o honest_a neighbour_n and_o they_o that_o be_v then_o justice_n do_v wheedle_n he_o in_o to_o tell_v they_o what_o his_o reason_n be_v for_o not_o obey_v their_o warrant_n whereupon_o he_o innocent_o not_o think_v of_o the_o snare_n that_o they_o have_v lay_v for_o he_o by_o speak_v fair_a word_n unto_o he_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o this_o the_o honest_a constable_n be_v send_v to_o prison_n and_o fine_v a_o hundred_o pound_n and_o pay_v it_o every_o groat_n beside_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o time_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o family_n and_o prison_n expense_n and_o fee_n which_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a case_n four_o another_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o proceed_n be_v this_o viz._n because_o there_o be_v never_o a_o better_a opportunity_n to_o bear_v a_o testimony_n against_o that_o antichristian_a spirit_n of_o persecution_n than_o there_o be_v now_o have_v so_o good_a a_o text_n for_o it_o from_o his_o gracious_a majesty_n by_o who_o god_n have_v bear_v such_o a_o clear_a testimony_n against_o it_o from_o heaven_n to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o which_o he_o have_v gracious_o and_o consequential_o tell_v we_o that_o conscience_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v restrain_v nor_o oppress_v by_o these_o crucify_a oppress_v law_n five_o my_o five_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o bless_v god_n i_o be_o not_o afraid_a to_o do_v good_a for_o fear_v of_o evil_a come_n of_o it_o which_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v again_o a_o six_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o proceed_v be_v because_o i_o be_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n politic_a of_o the_o nation_n i_o be_o a_o englishman_n bear_v and_o therefore_o i_o ought_v to_o be_v useful_a to_o the_o say_a body_n for_o what_o be_v a_o member_n good_a for_o that_o be_v not_o helpful_a to_o the_o body_n it_o be_v as_o if_o it_o be_v no_o member_n again_o my_o seven_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o find_v many_o man_n of_o a_o gallio-like_a spirit_n they_o care_v not_o for_o these_o thing_n a_o spirit_n of_o neutrality_n and_o indifferency_n have_v seize_v upon_o they_o they_o be_v neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a they_o be_v trimmer_n eight_o my_o eight_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o proceed_v be_v because_o i_o be_o bind_v in_o gratitude_n towards_o god_n for_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o also_o in_o point_n of_o gratitude_n to_o his_o majesty_n into_o who_o heart_n god_n have_v be_v gracious_o please_v to_o put_v it_o to_o give_v and_o grant_v unto_o we_o this_o glorious_a liberty_n and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o best_a service_n that_o i_o be_o capable_a to_o do_v in_o the_o nation_n and_o in_o my_o generation_n nine_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o my_o proceed_v be_v because_o i_o will_v do_v my_o persecute_v enemy_n all_o the_o good_a i_o can_v while_o i_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n command_n mat._n 5.44_o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o love_v your_o enemy_n bless_v they_o that_o curse_v you_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v you_o and_o pray_v for_o they_o which_o despiteful_o use_v you_o and_o persecute_v you_o but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o do_v not_o think_v that_o i_o have_v do_v you_o any_o good_a in_o advise_v you_o to_o fall_v in_o with_o his_o majesty_n to_o contribute_v to_o the_o complete_n of_o this_o our_o christian_a liberty_n why_o then_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o the_o jew_n will_v have_v put_v the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n to_o death_n for_o advise_v they_o to_o fall_v to_o the_o king_n of_o babylon_n jer._n 38.3_o 4_o 6_o 17_o 18._o who_o be_v a_o great_a idolater_n and_o be_v the_o great_a master_n of_o all_o oppress_v penal_a law_n and_o test_n he_o be_v a_o foreigner_n too_o which_o be_v to_o go_v out_o of_o liberty_n into_o captivity_n and_o

lord_n body_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v command_v to_o examine_v ourselves_o before_o we_o partake_v of_o it_o to_o see_v whether_o we_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v in_o a_o convert_v spiritual_a state_n of_o grace_n and_o also_o to_o try_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a frame_n of_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o grace_n be_v in_o act_n and_o exercise_n in_o we_o or_o not_o but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o word_n of_o institution_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n also_o he_o take_v the_o cup_n when_o he_o have_v sup_v say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n this_o do_v you_o as_o oft_o as_o you_o drink_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o for_o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v here_o be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o make_v this_o sacred_a ordinance_n a_o test_n to_o accommodate_v the_o civil_a state_n withal_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a as_o you_o shall_v hear_v by_o and_o by_o for_o the_o apostle_n bring_v it_o in_o argumentative_o with_o a_o wherefore_o whosoever_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n unworthy_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v instead_o of_o commemorate_n christ_n death_n and_o suffering_n and_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o flow_v unto_o we_o from_o that_o fountain_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n they_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v their_o own_o damnation_n without_o unfeigned_a repentance_n and_o god_n infinite_a mercy_n for_o they_o do_v crucify_v to_o themselves_o the_o son_n of_o god_n afresh_o and_o put_v he_o to_o a_o open_a shame_n whosoever_o shall_v eat_v thus_o unworthy_o whether_o lord_n or_o commoner_n let_v they_o look_v to_o it_o for_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n for_o he_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_v righteousness_n and_o none_o but_o such_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v accept_v with_o he_o o_o that_o all_o they_o that_o be_v thus_o guilty_a may_v tremble_v to_o think_v what_o be_v a_o come_n upon_o they_o for_o this_o great_a abomination_n of_o profane_v the_o lord_n holy_a supper_n by_o a_o law_n which_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v be_v a_o national_a sin_n because_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o govern_v party_n have_v be_v thus_o guilty_a though_o i_o do_v hope_n and_o also_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v many_o in_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n both_o of_o lord_n and_o commoner_n when_o this_o snare_n be_v make_v that_o have_v neither_o heart_n nor_o hand_n in_o it_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o major_a part_n of_o they_o must_v be_v for_o it_o or_o it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v make_v therefore_o i_o will_v not_o be_v find_v to_o grieve_v any_o of_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o righteous_a without_o a_o cause_n by_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a with_o the_o guilty_a but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v every_o man_n examine_v himself_o whether_o he_o be_v guilty_a or_o not_o but_o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o drink_n of_o that_o cup._n and_o here_o the_o holy_a apostle_n be_v bring_v it_o in_o again_o argumentative_o by_o way_n of_o precaution_n for_o say_v he_o he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v &_o drink_v damnation_n or_o condemnation_n to_o himself_o not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n for_o this_o cause_n many_o be_v weak_a and_o sickly_a among_o you_o and_o many_o sleep_n that_o be_v die_v for_o what_o cause_n be_v it_o why_o for_o profane_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o who_o be_v it_o the_o holy_a apostle_n charge_v this_o gild_n upon_o why_o even_o upon_o some_o of_o the_o corinthian_n that_o believe_v in_o christ_n for_o he_o say_v some_o among_o you_o they_o be_v convert_v as_o to_o their_o spiritual_a state_n they_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v in_o a_o very_a carnal_a loose_a frame_n of_o heart_n they_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v worthy_o as_o to_o their_o spiritual_a state_n but_o yet_o nevertheless_o they_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o as_o to_o their_o frame_n of_o heart_n and_o therefore_o god_n punish_v they_o with_o corporal_a sickness_n and_o death_n though_o they_o be_v free_a from_o eternal_a death_n and_o condemnation_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o so_o in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n which_o can_v never_o be_v break_v rom._n 8.1_o there_o
