be_v in_o good_a hand_n and_o we_o may_v no_o way_n doubt_v but_o those_o who_o have_v so_o well_o begin_v will_v not_o be_v want_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o they_o finis_fw-la to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n of_o england_n the_o honourable_a court_n of_o parliament_n now_o sit_v the_o humble_a petition_n of_o several_a of_o the_o godly_a party_n in_o the_o county_n of_o salop_n show_v that_o we_o can_v omit_v the_o acknowledgement_n of_o all_o those_o various_a providence_n god_n have_v make_v his_o people_n in_o this_o nation_n partaker_n of_o in_o own_v our_o army_n and_o make_v they_o both_o formidable_a to_o and_o victorious_a over_o our_o enemy_n at_o sea_n and_o land_n in_o stain_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o proud_a dedegrade_n unprofitable_a man_n from_o their_o station_n and_o plant_v you_o in_o their_o room_n who_o beginning_n begin_v to_o revive_v our_o hope_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v yet_o have_v in_o england_n man_n execute_v judgement_n and_o speak_v the_o truth_n certain_o if_o you_o go_v on_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o child_n that_o be_v to_o be_v bear_v will_v have_v cause_n to_o call_v you_o bless_v as_o the_o repairer_n of_o our_o breach_n the_o restorer_n of_o path_n to_o dwell_v in_o and_o you_o will_v render_v yourselves_o of_o more_o worth_n and_o value_n than_o thousand_o so_o that_o your_o precedency_n of_o honour_n and_o grace_n will_v transcend_v your_o predecessor_n and_o in_o all_o probability_n god_n will_v establish_v you_o as_o so_o many_o luminary_n in_o your_o station_n to_o shine_v more_o and_o more_o unto_o the_o day_n of_o our_o deliverance_n in_o hope_n whereof_o as_o also_o of_o your_o real_a inclination_n to_o hearken_v to_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o mean_a saint_n and_o of_o those_o that_o wish_v well_o to_o truth_n &_o peace_n among_o the_o other_o large_a endeavour_n of_o other_o we_o have_v take_v the_o liberty_n of_o present_v the_o small_a mite_n of_o our_o proposal_n which_o we_o hope_v will_v be_v look_v at_o among_o the_o thousand_o of_o israel_n 1._o that_o as_o god_n have_v trust_v you_o in_o a_o special_a manner_n with_o the_o guard_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o gospel_n you_o will_v have_v a_o special_a eye_n to_o the_o propagation_n thereof_o and_o because_o there_o be_v many_o idle_a ignorant_a scandalous_a &_o malignant_a minister_n permit_v that_o endeavour_v the_o subversion_n thereof_o as_o appear_v to_o many_o of_o the_o dear_a saint_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o great_a grief_n of_o their_o spirit_n we_o humble_o desire_v that_o some_o speedy_a course_n may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o ejection_n of_o such_o man_n and_o the_o settle_n of_o those_o that_o be_v fit_a and_o faithful_a for_o so_o great_a a_o work_n and_o that_o those_o may_v not_o be_v suffer_v as_o preacher_n thereof_o who_o hate_v to_o see_v it_o prosper_v and_o stand_v like_o the_o red_a dragon_n ready_a to_o devour_v the_o child_n grace_n as_o soon_o as_o bear_v 2._o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o suffering_n of_o many_o of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o great_a deliverance_n vouchsafe_v they_o yet_o they_o scarce_o know_v they_o as_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o they_o in_o any_o encouragement_n they_o have_v yet_o receive_v more_o than_o the_o most_o notorious_a and_o bitter_a of_o your_o enemy_n it_o be_v propose_v that_o you_o will_v have_v a_o special_a regard_n to_o your_o friend_n above_o your_o enemy_n have_v the_o late_a king_n prevail_v his_o friend_n have_v receive_v large_a reward_n as_o appear_v by_o his_o own_o engagement_n you_o and_o you_o threaten_v with_o total_a destruction_n oh_o then_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o countenance_v your_o friend_n as_o well_o as_o your_o enemy_n they_o we_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o tread_v in_o the_o path_n of_o your_o predecessor_n to_o reward_v evil_a for_o good_a but_o will_v give_v the_o right_a child_n to_o the_o right_a mother_n and_o suffer_v those_o now_o to_o rejoice_v with_o you_o who_o have_v former_o mourn_v with_o you_o and_o will_v still_o while_o you_o be_v for_o god_n live_v and_o die_v with_o you_o 3_o because_o we_o hear_v many_o soldier_n complain_v who_o have_v venture_v their_o life_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o want_v employment_n since_o their_o willing_a submission_n to_o former_a command_n of_o disband_v we_o humble_o propose_v that_o a_o deep_a inspection_n may_v be_v make_v in_o your_o army_n for_o the_o ejection_n of_o those_o that_o will_v not_o be_v list_v for_o you_o so_o long_o as_o they_o can_v find_v a_o army_n with_o which_o to_o fight_v against_o you_o and_o the_o number_n may_v be_v make_v up_o again_o by_o those_o who_o have_v be_v your_o constant_a friend_n 4._o that_o whereas_o many_o man_n by_o their_o fawn_a flattery_n lie_v at_o your_o door_n out_o of_o sinister_a end_n to_o beg_v for_o place_n we_o desire_v that_o none_o may_v be_v admit_v to_o any_o place_n of_o trust_n either_o in_o the_o army_n or_o commonwealth_n but_o such_o as_o be_v know_v to_o you_o for_o man_n of_o fidelity_n and_o integrity_n or_o else_o commend_v to_o you_o by_o the_o certificate_n of_o five_o or_o six_o of_o your_o friend_n that_o so_o thing_n may_v be_v carry_v on_o more_o by_o the_o public_a spirit_n of_o the_o saint_n than_o the_o private_a spirit_n of_o any_o whatsoever_o 5._o that_o whereas_o we_o hear_v many_o of_o our_o nation_n say_v to_o you_o as_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n to_o rehoboam_n take_v away_o our_o burden_n take_v away_o our_o taxation_n we_o further_o propose_v that_o the_o burden_n of_o contribution_n may_v be_v lay_v upon_o those_o who_o have_v be_v the_o grand_a incendiary_n and_o contriver_n of_o the_o war_n we_o mean_v the_o cavalier_n it_o be_v unjust_a as_o we_o humble_o conceive_v that_o they_o shall_v cut_v out_o the_o work_n and_o we_o bear_v the_o burden_n they_o double_v the_o tale_n of_o brick_n and_o we_o do_v the_o task_n o_o let_v the_o right_a child_n have_v the_o right_a mother_n it_o will_v make_v they_o more_o willing_a to_o sit_v still_o 6._o that_o whereas_o many_o take_v liberty_n of_o keep_v wake_n set_v up_o morris_n dance_n and_o other_o profane_a sport_n against_o which_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a law_n we_o humble_o desire_v some_o positive_a rule_n may_v be_v frame_v for_o suppress_v thereof_o 7._o in_o regard_v it_o it_o general_o observe_v that_o the_o foul_a sin_n of_o adultery_n and_o fornication_n be_v too_o frequent_o unpunished_a more_o than_o before_o the_o day_n of_o our_o deliverance_n for_o which_o our_o enemy_n reproach_n we_o such_fw-ge the_o act_n only_o limit_n the_o punishment_n to_o the_o testimony_n of_o two_o witness_n that_o a_o mock_n may_v not_o be_v make_v of_o such_o foul_a sin_n we_o desire_v a_o way_n may_v be_v find_v and_o some_o special_a law_n institute_v for_o the_o punishmet_n thereof_o 8._o that_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o freedom_n give_v to_o saint_n in_o their_o several_a church_n and_o meeting_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v abuse_v so_o that_o papist_n and_o other_o profane_a person_n take_v liberty_n of_o contemn_v the_o sabbath_n and_o public_a ordinance_n and_o spend_v the_o day_n vain_o and_o idle_o in_o their_o house_n or_o else_o walk_v in_o the_o field_n we_o propose_v that_o some_o special_a course_n may_v be_v take_v of_o restraint_n that_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o saint_n may_v not_o be_v turn_v to_o the_o profanation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n 9_o that_o the_o excize_n may_v be_v take_v away_o in_o the_o oppressive_a manner_n of_o farm_v it_o that_o poor_a people_n may_v not_o be_v buy_v and_o sell_v in_o this_o nation_n as_o too_o frequent_o they_o be_v and_o some_o raise_v vast_a estate_n by_o the_o bargain_n 10._o that_o the_o poor_a which_o daily_a swarm_n in_o england_n both_o in_o city_n and_o country_n beg_v in_o the_o highway_n and_o at_o our_o house_n to_o the_o great_a dishonour_n and_o prejudice_n of_o the_o nation_n may_v in_o some_o due_a way_n be_v provide_v for_o and_o not_o suffer_v to_o wander_v as_o vagabond_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o your_o petitioner_n shall_v pray_v etc._n etc._n animadversion_n on_o the_o petition_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o specious_a than_o the_o name_n of_o reformation_n and_o nothing_o less_o than_o the_o thing_n itself_o i_o mean_v that_o which_o the_o vulgar_a magnify_v and_o cry_v up_o so_o much_o the_o disease_n of_o man_n mind_n rather_o than_o of_o the_o time_n until_o their_o imagination_n fool_n they_o into_o a_o real_a malady_n and_o never_o let_v they_o recover_v afterward_o the_o itch_n of_o good_a time_n and_o the_o ulcer_n of_o ill_a most_o pernicious_a to_o kingdom_n and_o commonwealth_n as_o always_o enemy_n to_o
