testimony_n with_o divers_a other_o that_o may_v be_v give_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n in_o former_a age_n do_v meet_v together_o to_o worship_n god_n and_o to_o wait_v upon_o he_o in_o prayer_n &_o preach_v as_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n teach_v they_o that_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o sometime_o they_o meet_v public_o and_o sometime_o more_o private_a and_o sometime_o on_o the_o daytime_n and_o sometime_o in_o the_o night-season_n and_o they_o meet_v separate_v from_o the_o synagogue_n and_o way_n of_o public_a worship_n of_o the_o jew_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o as_o it_o be_v order_v among_o they_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o our_o meeting_n for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n at_o this_o day_n though_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o way_n of_o public_a worship_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o be_v in_o more_o private_a house_n be_v justifiable_a be_v after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o therefore_o out_o meeting_n be_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n just_a and_o lawful_a iii_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o late_a insurrection_n of_o some_o few_o person_n in_o london_n our_o lawful_a assemble_v of_o ourselves_o together_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v under_o present_a restraint_n and_o prohibition_n and_o by_o proclamation_n forbid_v under_o the_o denomination_n of_o seditious_a and_o unlawful_a meeting_n and_o our_o friend_n imprison_v and_o persecute_v for_o that_o cause_n of_o assemble_v themselves_o to_o wait_v upon_o god_n now_o in_o this_o case_n this_o i_o plead_v unto_o the_o king_n that_o we_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o way_n guilty_a of_o that_o insurrection_n upon_o which_o the_o proclamatian_a of_o forbid_v our_o meeting_n be_v ground_v and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o suffer_v with_o the_o guilty_a be_v innocent_a from_o the_o very_a occasion_n of_o that_o proclamation_n and_o for_o the_o king_n to_o prohibit_v our_o meeting_n for_o and_o because_o of_o the_o ill_a use_n that_o other_o make_v of_o they_o this_o seem_v a_o condemn_v of_o the_o innocent_a with_o the_o guilty_a which_o be_v no_o way_n just_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n nor_o man_n but_o altogether_o unequal_a that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v for_o other_o ment_n fault_n though_o such_o do_v abuse_v their_o liberty_n and_o pervert_v the_o end_n of_o their_o meeting_n into_o rise_v up_o with_o carnal_a weapon_n against_o the_o king_n so_o do_v not_o we_o neither_o in_o intent_n nor_o action_n and_o therefore_o our_o meeting_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v prohibit_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o other_o man_n fault_n and_o miscarriage_n in_o that_o case_n and_o also_o we_o have_v the_o king_n promise_n divers_a time_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o suffer_v for_o our_o religion_n while_o we_o ad_v nothing_o against_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o government_n which_o yet_o we_o never_o have_v do_v nor_o make_v any_o ill_a use_n of_o our_o meeting_n nor_o of_o the_o king_n promise_n nor_o forfeit_v they_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o his_o own_o promise_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v our_o meeting_n and_o enjoy_v they_o without_o restraint_n because_o we_o have_v not_o farfeit_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o former_a promise_n in_o that_o behalf_n nor_o ever_o make_v use_n of_o our_o meeting_n to_o plot_n or_o conspire_v against_o the_o government_n to_o its_o harm_n or_o detriment_n and_o because_o of_o our_o innocency_n herein_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o former_a promise_n be_v yet_o in_o force_n unto_o we_o to_o protect_v our_o lawful_a meeting_n and_o not_o to_o prohibit_v they_o and_o though_o upon_o suspicion_n only_o out_o meeting_n have_v be_v restrain_v and_o our_o friend_n imprison_v by_o the_o late_a proclamation_n yet_o we_o be_v prove_v innocent_a and_o without_o guilt_n of_o that_o which_o occasion_v it_o the_o king_n and_o council_n may_v and_o aught_o in_o justice_n and_o good_a reason_n to_o reverse_v and_o revoke_v that_o part_n of_o the_o proclamation_n relate_v to_o we_o as_o be_v innocent_a that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v our_o lawful_a meeting_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o example_n of_o saint_n and_o according_a to_o the_o king_n be_v own_o former_a promise_n iu._n all_o these_o thing_n consider_v and_o right_o understand_v by_o the_o king_n and_o his_o council_n it_o will_v appear_v unto_o they_o in_o good_a reason_n 1._o that_o our_o meeting_n be_v just_a and_o lawful_a in_o themselves_o because_o they_o be_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o to_o wait_v upon_o he_o 2._o they_o be_v according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n because_o the_o scripture_n prove_v the_o like_a meeting_n 3._o and_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o promise_n and_o toleration_n that_o he_o give_v for_o six_o month_n after_o his_o come_n in_o because_o he_o say_v we_o shall_v not_o suffer_v for_o our_o religion_n if_o we_o live_v peaceable_o and_o we_o be_v not_o disturb_v by_o authority_n from_o he_o that_o we_o know_v of_o in_o our_o meeting_n till_o this_o occasion_n 4._o it_o will_v appear_v that_o we_o ought_v in_o justice_n and_o equity_n to_o have_v our_o lawful_a meeting_n protect_v and_o preserve_v by_o the_o king_n authority_n and_o not_o prohibit_v because_o we_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o that_o which_o occasion_v this_o present_a restraint_n but_o what_o we_o have_v suffer_v in_o this_o case_n it_o have_v be_v upon_o suspicion_n and_o without_o any_o just_a cause_n on_o our_o part_n and_o for_o these_o end_n and_o cause_n i_o plead_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o innocent_a that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v peaceable_o our_o meeting_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o not_o be_v prohibit_v in_o the_o king_n dominion_n under_o his_o authority_n v._o but_o and_o if_o we_o be_v persecute_v and_o imprison_v and_o make_v to_o suffer_v for_o this_o cause_n of_o meet_v together_o to_o worship_n god_n and_o wait_v upon_o he_o in_o conscience_n and_o duty_n towards_o he_o and_o for_o follow_v the_o scripture_n example_n as_o the_o saint_n of_o old_a as_o aforementioned_a we_o must_v only_o commit_v our_o cause_n to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o in_o patience_n suffer_v under_o whatsoever_o be_v unequal_o inflict_v upon_o we_o for_o this_o matter_n if_o man_n show_v the_o height_n of_o oppression_n towards_o we_o and_o we_o must_v put_v on_o the_o spirit_n of_o long-suffering_a and_o forbearance_n and_o leave_v vengeance_n to_o the_o lord_n who_o will_v in_o his_o season_n redress_v our_o cause_n if_o that_o we_o be_v persecute_v for_o meet_v together_o and_o for_o worship_v of_o the_o lord_n according_a as_o his_o spirit_n persuade_v our_o conscience_n and_o such_o our_o suffering_n be_v not_o for_o evil-doing_a not_o as_o transgressor_n against_o god_n nor_o the_o king_n but_o as_o servant_n of_o god_n we_o suffer_v and_o for_o hold_v the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v bring_v the_o state_n of_o our_o case_n as_o concern_v our_o meeting_n unto_o the_o king_n knowledge_n and_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o his_o serious_a view_n and_o happy_a will_v he_o be_v if_o he_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o afflict_a but_o if_o he_o stop_v his_o ear_n from_o the_o cry_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v destroy_v who_o shall_v plead_v for_o he_o or_o excuse_v he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o come_v to_o judgement_n to_o reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o deed_n chap._n iii_o the_o case_n state_v and_o plead_v concern_v tithe_n as_o pay_v among_o the_o jew_n and_o also_o among_o the_o christian_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o we_o refuse_v to_o pay_v they_o at_o this_o day_n i._o we_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o tithe_n as_o institute_v give_v and_o receive_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v of_o heavenly_a ordination_n and_o be_v for_o that_o holy_a use_n and_o end_v of_o maintain_v the_o levitical_a

unfinished_a and_o unfulfilled_a by_o christ_n jesus_n the_o everlasting_a priest_n that_o law_n that_o give_v and_o receive_v tithe_n be_v in_o force_n and_o it_o be_v sinful_a against_o god_n and_o contrary_a to_o his_o law_n in_o any_o of_o israel_n to_o withhold_v their_o tithe_n and_o not_o to_o pay_v they_o and_o such_o as_o do_v rob_v god_n and_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o prophet_n complain_v against_o they_o for_o then_o the_o ordination_n of_o tithe_n be_v of_o god_n and_o the_o practice_n and_o end_v of_o they_o be_v good_a and_o

and_o we_o confess_v unto_o he_o as_o our_o judge_n and_o lawgiver_n and_o have_v renounce_v all_o shadow_n pertain_v to_o the_o first_o covenant_n whereof_o one_o be_v tithe_n and_o for_o

for_o we_o be_v christian_n and_o believer_n and_o not_o jew_n nor_o child_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n iii_o and_o there_o be_v no_o example_n by_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n or_o saint_n in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o ever_o any_o of_o the_o christian_n that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n give_v pay_v or_o receive_v tithe_n i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o example_n at_o all_o by_o either_o precept_n or_o practice_n leave_v we_o on_o record_n that_o any_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n do_v pay_v or_o receive_v tithe_n for_o any_o

institute_n pay_v or_o receive_v tithe_n as_o maintenance_n of_o gospel_n ministry_n but_o we_o believe_v that_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n who_o he_o send_v forth_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n

in_o their_o day_n to_o pay_v tithe_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a for_o we_o have_v testimony_n from_o they_o that_o the_o first_o covenant_n and_o priesthood_n with_o all_o shadow_n and_o

refuse_v to_o pay_v any_o 3._o we_o believe_v in_o our_o own_o conscience_n that_o tithe_n as_o receive_v and_o pay_v in_o these_o day_n be_v not_o of_o any_o institution_n of_o god_n nor_o exercise_v to_o any_o good_a use_n and_o end_n but_o that_o they_o be_v of_o antichrist_n and_o oppression_n and_o unjust_a exaction_n and_o imposition_n upon_o the_o poor_a people_n of_o these_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v refuse_v to_o pay_v tithe_n and_o we_o can_v for_o good_a conscience_n sake_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o conscience_n herein_o in_o deny_v to_o pay_v tithe_n be_v well_o

we_o refuse_v to_o pay_v they_o and_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o conscience_n in_o that_o case_n iv._o as_o for_o tithe_n as_o now_o demand_v pay_v and_o receive_v in_o these_o kingdom_n we_o know_v

and_o therefore_o it_o be_v for_o conscience_n sake_n that_o we_o do_v refuse_v to_o pay_v tithe_n and_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v suffer_v because_o thereof_o it_o be_v persecution_n and_o for_o and_o
