some_o few_o query_n and_o consideration_n propose_v to_o the_o cavalier_n be_v of_o weighty_a importance_n to_o them_o may_v 2_o 1660_o query_n i._n whether_o all_o those_o suffering_n which_o have_v befall_v that_o party_n for_o these_o many_o year_n be_v just_a as_o relate_v to_o god_n or_o no_o that_o be_v whether_o they_o so_o sin_v against_o he_o forget_v his_o name_n and_o fear_n deal_v hardly_o with_o such_o as_o true_o desire_v to_o fear_v he_o and_o who_o in_o his_o true_a fear_n do_v differ_v from_o their_o way_n of_o worship_n exalt_v man_n in_o a_o hard_a and_o arbitrary_a government_n both_o over_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o upright-hearted_n towards_o god_n and_o over_o the_o right_n liberty_n and_o person_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o with_o many_o other_o thing_n as_o the_o vanity_n and_o excess_n of_o the_o court_n the_o looseness_n and_o profaneness_n of_o the_o gentry_n swear_v drink_v of_o health_n and_o follow_v the_o vain_a pomp_n and_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n which_o by_o their_o very_a baptism_n they_o stand_v engage_v to_o deny_v may_v fill_v up_o their_o ephah_n sway_v down_o their_o balance_n and_o sink_v their_o prosperity_n i_o say_v whether_o these_o and_o such_o like_a thing_n may_v not_o just_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o turn_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o to_o overturn_v their_o church-government_n smite_v their_o king_n who_o be_v their_o strength_n and_o bring_v they_o under_o the_o foot_n of_o those_o who_o before_o they_o have_v trample_v upon_o and_o oppress_v now_o though_o they_o may_v cry_v out_o against_o man_n and_o in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o power_n fly_v out_o upon_o the_o rod_n wherewith_o the_o lord_n chastise_v they_o yet_o this_o be_v more_o proper_a and_o safe_a for_o they_o now_o to_o consider_v what_o hand_n the_o lord_n have_v in_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o whether_o he_o be_v just_a therein_o or_o no._n quer._n ii_o whether_o in_o these_o their_o suffering_n they_o have_v humble_v themselves_o before_o the_o lord_n submit_v to_o his_o hand_n mourn_v over_o their_o sin_n and_o transgression_n against_o he_o and_o have_v more_o desire_v his_o gracious_a mercy_n and_o power_n to_o pardon_v &_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n than_o to_o be_v free_v of_o their_o suffering_n so_o that_o if_o ever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o take_v his_o hand_n from_o off_o they_o and_o bring_v they_o again_o into_o place_n and_o power_n they_o may_v not_o so_o provoke_v he_o any_o more_o either_o against_o themselves_o or_o their_o king_n but_o in_o true_a humility_n and_o in_o his_o fear_n and_o in_o love_n to_o his_o name_n truth_n and_o people_n and_o the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n may_v walk_v righteous_o meek_o and_o faithful_o in_o the_o exercise_v of_o authority_n for_o the_o good_a and_o peace_n of_o all_o and_o not_o for_o the_o hurt_n of_o any_o quer._n iii_o whether_o the_o cause_n which_o they_o now_o may_v easy_o trample_v upon_o and_o despise_v in_o those_o people_n who_o be_v engage_v against_o they_o be_v not_o just_a on_o their_o behalf_n also_o in_o its_o first_o rise_n and_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o controversy_n and_o whether_o their_o spirit_n may_v not_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o god_n thereunto_o wherein_o if_o they_o have_v continue_v faithful_a go_v on_o single_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o seek_v themselves_o nor_o the_o hurt_n of_o any_o but_o the_o just_a right_n liberty_n and_o good_a of_o all_o according_a to_o their_o engagement_n this_o overturn_v may_v never_o have_v befall_v they_o but_o they_o let_v god_n cause_o fall_v day_n after_o day_n time_n after_o time_n one_o opportunity_n after_o another_o no_o marvel_n though_o the_o lord_n have_v suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v also_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o set_v up_o their_o person_n as_o be_v often_o testify_v to_o they_o while_o they_o stand_v but_o to_o set_v up_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n in_o these_o nation_n and_o to_o give_v his_o people_n full_a liberty_n of_o fear_v and_o obey_v he_o without_o fear_n of_o man_n this_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o effect_v by_o they_o wherein_o their_o service_n be_v very_o precious_a and_o acceptable_a to_o he_o which_o if_o they_o have_v go_v on_o faithful_o in_o they_o have_v never_o see_v this_o day_n quer._n iu._n whether_o they_o consider_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o turn_v thing_n thus_o about_o or_o whether_o their_o eye_n be_v on_o instrument_n on_o such_o as_o be_v against_o they_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o on_o such_o as_o be_v for_o they_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n for_o be_v it_o not_o very_o wonderful_a to_o consider_v how_o many_o plot_n and_o contrivance_n they_o have_v have_v one_o after_o another_o to_o bring_v this_o about_o some_z whereof_z be_v very_o likely_a to_o take_v and_o hard_o to_o be_v disappoint_v and_o yet_o all_o have_v still_o fail_v and_o now_o at_o length_n unlooked_a for_o it_o have_v as_o it_o be_v drop_v into_o their_o mouth_n in_o such_o a_o way_n &_o after_o such_o a_o manner_n and_o in_o so_o full_a a_o measure_n as_o they_o can_v hardly_o have_v expect_v o_o that_o they_o can_v eye_v the_o lord_n herein_o and_o fear_v before_o he_o earnest_o desire_v and_o wait_v for_o his_o grace_n to_o guide_v they_o that_o at_o length_n one_o generation_n on_o who_o he_o show_v mercy_n may_v show_v themselves_o worthy_a of_o his_o mercy_n and_o not_o provoke_v he_o against_o they_o by_o abuse_v it_o &_o so_o on_o a_o sudden_a forfeit_n and_o hazard_v the_o loss_n again_o of_o what_o they_o have_v be_v so_o long_o desire_v and_o aim_v at_o quer._n v._n whether_o they_o consider_v how_o easy_a it_o be_v for_o the_o lord_n to_o turn_v thing_n about_o again_o in_o as_o unexpected_a a_o way_n to_o they_o as_o this_o be_v to_o those_o who_o be_v now_o overturn_v indeed_o they_o be_v settle_v as_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n what_o can_v withstand_v they_o what_o can_v rise_v up_o against_o they_o but_o alas_o what_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o nation_n to_o the_o lord_n the_o whole_a nation_n be_v man_n and_o not_o god_n and_o their_o whole_a strength_n flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n and_o if_o the_o lord_n rise_v up_o against_o they_o what_o be_v they_o before_o he_o o_o that_o they_o can_v fear_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o goodness_n and_o that_o those_o that_o be_v fall_v under_o they_o may_v fear_v he_o for_o his_o severity_n and_o that_o we_o may_v all_o give_v over_o upbraid_v and_o fight_v against_o one_o another_o and_o every_o man_n fight_v against_o the_o lust_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n against_o pride_n passion_n envy_n covetousness_n heard-heartedness_n oppression_n of_o man_n conscience_n do_v to_o other_o what_o we_o will_v not_o receive_v from_o other_o etc._n etc._n for_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v swift_a against_o the_o unrighteous_a spirit_n and_o he_o overturn_v apace_o and_o if_o this_o present_a settlement_n do_v not_o please_v he_o but_o if_o this_o generation_n after_o all_o their_o affliction_n prove_v unworthy_a of_o this_o mercy_n not_o let_v fall_n what_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v go_v forth_o against_o but_o think_v again_o to_o settle_v upon_o firm_a foundation_n what_o god_n have_v all_o this_o while_n be_v shake_v the_o lord_n will_v laugh_v at_o their_o counsel_n and_o at_o all_o their_o strength_n and_o overturn_v they_o in_o a_o moment_n this_o have_v be_v it_o have_v undo_v the_o forego_n power_n they_o have_v be_v eye_v man_n and_o strengthen_v themselves_o against_o
