A84058	The equity of the Solemne League and Covenant iustified, against an infectious and libellous pamphlet: intituled, The iniquity of the late Solemne League and Covenant discovered. As it was lately sent from Oxford: and intercepted by the way to London.

so_o plain_o speak_v the_o language_n of_o desperate_a rebellion_n that_o he_o which_o covenant_n with_o they_o do_v by_o this_o article_n bind_v himself_o to_o endeavour_v by_o force_n of_o arm_n

to_o reformation_n and_o in_o time_n will_v approve_v themselves_o so_o unto_o he_o also_o if_o not_o resist_v by_o his_o faithful_a subject_n and_o compel_v he_o to_o enact_v what_o themselves_o

to_o a_o gentleman_n to_o defame_v the_o genuine_a and_o innocent_a sense_n of_o a_o glorious_a covenant_n thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o particular_a of_o his_o discouse_n which_o

altogether_o ex_fw-la falsa_fw-la hypothesi_fw-la upon_o a_o false_a supposition_n of_o iniquity_n in_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o prove_v nor_o can_v it_o be_v by_o the_o jesuit_n and_o jesuited_a impugner_n at_o oxford_n if_o they_o can_v furnish_v we_o with_o some_o convince_a argument_n in_o this_o way_n i_o myself_o who_o be_o a_o covenanter_n will_v not_o speedy_o repent_v of_o it_o but_o also_o persuade_v other_o but_o till_o than_o you_o must_v pardon_v i_o now_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o his_o discourse_n i_o shall_v only_o give_v you_o notice_n that_o the_o frame_n of_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o false_a insinuation_n object_n that_o this_o covenant_n do_v contrary_a the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n and_o that_o the_o

but_o answ_n 1._o first_o i_o answer_v with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o learned_a exhortation_n to_o the_o take_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o this_o covenant_n be_v so_o far_o from_o cross_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o allegiance_n that_o ●t_a bind_v all_o and_o more_o strong_o engage_v they_o to_o preserve_v and_o defend_v the_o king_n majesty_n person_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o preservation_n and_o defence_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o kingdom_n answ_n 2._o i_o answer_v that_o the_o judge_n take_v it_o without_o any_o such_o reservation_n he_o speak_v of_o or_o any_o other_o at_o all_o but_o this_o latter_a part_n need_v no_o answer_n in_o regard_n as_o i_o say_v before_o of_o the_o ground_v it_o upon_o a_o false_a supposition_n of_o the_o illegality_n and_o injustness_n of_o this_o covenant_n which_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o prove_v and_o therefore_o i_o advise_v all_o to_o take_v heed_n both_o of_o the_o former_a and_o the_o latter_a and_o to_o weigh_v the_o former_a objection_n with_o the_o answer_v impartial_o and_o serious_o not_o as_o man_n fore-armed_n with_o prejudicate_a opinion_n but_o as_o those_o that_o desire_v sincere_o to_o be_v inform_v of_o the_o necessity_n and_o excellency_n of_o this_o holy_a covenant_n the_o apostle_n peter_n speak_v of_o paul_n writing_n that_o in_o they_o some_o thing_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v understand_v which_o they_o that_o be_v unlearned_a and_o unstable_a wrest_v as_o they_o do_v also_o the_o other_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n 2._o epist_n chap._n 3._o vers_fw-la 16._o but_o here_o on_o the_o contrary_a though_o the_o text_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v understand_v we_o see_v that_o some_o who_o at_o lest_o think_v themselves_o learned_a and_o who_o be_v not_o only_a stable_n but_o stiffen_v as_o most_o of_o the_o oxford_n party_n be_v in_o their_o own_o erroneous_a principle_n and_o opinion_n will_v be_v try_v their_o
