it_o may_v please_v the_o parliament_n to_o examine_v the_o gift_n of_o such_o who_o these_o call_v illiterate_a that_o so_o it_o may_v appear_v how_o reasonable_a we_o be_v either_o by_o disputation_n between_o the_o presbyter_n and_o they_o or_o by_o prove_v they_o to_o give_v the_o sense_n of_o any_o scripture_n which_o they_o shall_v appoint_v and_o by_o this_o it_o shall_v appear_v whether_o these_o presbyterian_n be_v true_a man_n for_o there_o be_v never_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o separation_n that_o fear_v to_o set_v his_o foot_n against_o any_o presbyter_n whatsoever_o he_o be_v to_o dispute_v the_o case_n concerning_o the_o matter_n ministry_n worship_n or_o government_n of_o the_o church_n or_o any_o principle_n of_o faith_n which_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o parliament_n to_o call_v upon_o they_o for_o the_o manage_n of_o that_o so_o it_o may_v appear_v unto_o all_o man_n who_o be_v best_a inform_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n and_o by_o this_o it_o will_v also_o appear_v who_o be_v the_o orthodoxal_a preacher_n and_o who_o be_v the_o preacher_n of_o new_a gospel_n and_o consequent_o who_o be_v the_o setter_n of_o division_n and_o who_o they_o be_v upon_o who_o their_o scandalous_a conclusion_n fall_v and_o as_o for_o toleration_n of_o all_o religion_n i_o can_v conceive_v to_o be_v proper_a for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o true_a religion_n and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o have_v god_n word_n for_o their_o rule_n and_o for_o break_v sabbath_n we_o know_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n common_o call_v sunday_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o we_o judge_v ourselves_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o set_v apart_o for_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n both_o law_n and_o gospel_n and_o be_v also_o free_a to_o submit_v to_o the_o magistrate_n command_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n in_o case_n of_o eminent_a danger_n and_o to_o give_v he_o public_a thanks_o for_o all_o eminent_a deliverance_n the_o magistrate_n command_v be_v ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o presbyterian_n slander_v the_o people_n of_o god_n will_v make_v their_o reformation_n the_o more_o difficult_a for_o no_o man_n ever_o set_v himself_o up_o honest_o by_o accuse_v of_o other_o false_o and_o as_o touch_v our_o brethren_n the_o scot_n we_o honour_v they_o for_o their_o part_n and_o shall_v remain_v thankful_a unto_o god_n for_o they_o or_o for_o any_o help_n we_o have_v receive_v from_o they_o yet_o we_o can_v never_o submit_v our_o conscience_n to_o be_v captivate_v or_o make_v subject_a to_o man_n will_n for_o god_n only_o have_v power_n in_o that_o case_n yet_o i_o speak_v free_o for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v offend_v at_o whatever_o lawful_a government_n the_o parliament_n in_o their_o wisdom_n shall_v set_v up_o in_o the_o nation_n for_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o bring_v those_o thousand_o and_o million_o of_o people_n who_o yet_o lie_v in_o ignorance_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o faith_n that_o so_o they_o may_v become_v fit_a matter_n even_o live_v stone_n to_o be_v build_v to_o god_n a_o spiritual_a house_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a reformation_n in_o a_o state_n of_o general_a apostasy_n but_o by_o separate_n the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a and_o not_o to_o impose_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n on_o a_o people_n that_o be_v not_o capable_a for_o that_o will_v bring_v a_o curse_n rather_o than_o a_o blessing_n therefore_o the_o true_o godly_a aught_o to_o arise_v and_o be_v do_v and_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o be_v with_o they_o and_o they_o be_v not_o to_o neglect_v to_o worship_n god_n for_o want_v of_o the_o command_n of_o authority_n as_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o many_o moreover_o these_o take_v notice_n that_o god_n have_v reward_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o parliament_n reformation_n and_o true_o all_o christian_n ought_v to_o observe_v the_o same_o for_o god_n use_v to_o reward_v all_o those_o that_o do_v his_o will_n and_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v still_o be_v merciful_a to_o they_o if_o justice_n be_v execute_v by_o they_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v that_o the_o wicked_a may_v be_v bring_v to_o condign_a punishment_n and_o the_o innocent_a set_v free_a who_o have_v lie_v in_o prison_n a_o long_a time_n for_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n after_o the_o true_a manner_n as_o mr._n turner_n have_v who_o be_v therefore_o in_o prison_n at_o westminster_n and_o other_o who_o also_o suffer_v in_o the_o like_a case_n such_o outbreaking_n of_o envy_n i_o be_o sure_a procure_v no_o mercy_n but_o judgement_n now_o that_o the_o parliament_n may_v hasten_v to_o set_v up_o christ_n true_a discipline_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v to_o his_o church_n that_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o desire_n of_o all_o christian_n but_o that_o the_o model_n specify_v in_o the_o petition_n be_v it_o stand_v the_o presbyterian_n upon_o to_o prove_v and_o therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v better_o for_o they_o to_o make_v their_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o catechise_v first_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n and_o then_o shape_v their_o church_n according_a to_o that_o rather_o
