A97171	Pax vobis or a charme for tumultuous spirits. Being an earnest and Christian advice unto the people of London, to forbeare their disorderly meetings at VVestminster, least they prove to the disturbance of the great businesse in hand, pressed by divers waighty and considerable reasons offered to their serious thoughts. Together with a motion for the speedy reliefe of the poore distressed Protestants in Ireland : and for a publike fast that we may all joyne in harty supplications to God for them. / By Thomas Warmstry Minister of Gods word.	Warmstry, Thomas, 1610-1665.	1641 (1641)	Wing W886; Thomason E180_24; ESTC R12759	20,943	42

it_o be_v our_o general_a inclination_n that_o we_o have_v rather_o be_v take_v to_o yield_v than_o to_o be_v overcome_v for_o though_o they_o both_o take_v up_o at_o one_o inn_n many_o time_n yet_o the_o former_a be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o fair_a way_n whatsoever_o our_o own_o will_n have_v not_o a_o hand_n in_o the_o pass_n we_o usual_o account_v ourselves_o either_o robe_v or_o cheat_v of_o but_o that_o which_o be_v give_v away_o be_v think_v as_o good_a very_o near_o as_o a_o possession_n and_o a_o voluntary_a bondage_n better_o than_o a_o force_a freedom_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v yea_o we_o take_v ourselves_o to_o be_v all_o a_o kind_n of_o king_n as_o long_o as_o we_o under_o a_o voluntary_a subjection_n and_o indeed_o such_o kind_n of_o law_n be_v of_o a_o large_a jurisdiction_n than_o other_o that_o put_v themselves_o on_o with_o force_n &_o violence_n and_o be_v receive_v with_o reluctancy_n of_o the_o people_n since_o they_o lie_v hold_v upon_o the_o whole_a

and_o as_o their_o extent_n be_v more_o large_a so_o their_o force_n more_o strong_a too_o since_o to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n and_o power_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n they_o carry_v also_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o subject_n which_o three_o make_v up_o that_o three_o fold_v cord_n which_o be_v not_o easy_o break_v whereby_o law_n be_v bind_v up_o into_o a_o solid_a body_n and_o secure_v from_o the_o shock_n of_o refractorine_n or_o opposition_n the_o reason_n or_o wisdom_n of_o the_o law_n be_v i_o confess_v the_o most_o reasonable_a engagement_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o any_o

for_o the_o general_a he_o do_v too_o little_a for_o the_o enforcement_n of_o a_o rule_n that_o make_v it_o bright_a and_o clear_a for_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n unless_o he_o add_v some_o

though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o clear_a and_o good_a there_o be_v a_o medea_n in_o we_o which_o bewitch_v we_o to_o a_o video_fw-la meliora_fw-la proboque_fw-la deteriora_fw-la sequor_fw-la so_o

in_o acction_n will_v be_v neither_o constant_a not_o sincere_a but_o accompany_v with_o murmurr_n and_o complaint_n with_o evasion_n and_o imputation_n both_o upon_o the_o law_n and_o lawgiver_n as_o tyrannical_a and_o oppressive_a but_o where_o the_o consent_n of_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v subject_n go_v along_o with_o the_o rest_n and_o have_v a_o competent_a share_n in_o the_o make_n of_o
