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

good_a counsel_n to_o the_o petitioner_n for_o presbyterian_a government_n that_o they_o may_v declare_v their_o faith_n before_o they_o build_v their_o church_n the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v separate_v from_o idolatry_n and_o join_v together_o in_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v ever_o enjoy_v commission_n from_o christ_n to_o practise_v all_o the_o part_n of_o god_n true_a religion_n and_o also_o to_o keep_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n from_o contempt_n or_o profanation_n among_o themselves_o and_o this_o power_n they_o have_v from_o god_n though_o with_o persecution_n now_o in_o this_o time_n of_o parliament_n persecution_n i_o say_v not_o from_o the_o parliament_n further_a than_o they_o neglect_v to_o preserve_v their_o peace_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o persecution_n as_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o pope_n and_o bishop_n in_o former_a time_n primary_o so_o will_v it_o do_v now_o from_o their_o son_n who_o call_v themselves_o divine_v yea_o even_o in_o the_o height_n of_o it_o if_o they_o may_v have_v their_o will_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o late_a petition_n for_o which_o there_o be_v a_o public_a call_n out_o for_o hand_n well_o be_v it_o with_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n when_o they_o take_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n true_a prophet_n though_o few_o in_o number_n but_o such_o a_o clergy_n which_o be_v natural_o addict_v to_o persecution_n can_v be_v a_o blessing_n to_o any_o parliament_n or_o nation_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o my_o desire_n be_v that_o the_o parliament_n may_v submit_v to_o god_n for_o direction_n and_o counsel_n even_o to_o beware_v of_o man_n especial_o of_o false_a prophet_n or_o any_o evil_a worker_n whatever_o they_o be_v and_o that_o all_o person_n fear_v god_n in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n or_o elsewhere_o may_v bless_v god_n for_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n unto_o they_o that_o their_o eye_n enjoy_v their_o teacher_n though_o in_o a_o upper_a room_n as_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n meet_v but_o for_o the_o city_n of_o london_n ministry_n which_o be_v so_o much_o commend_v in_o the_o petition_n i_o think_v their_o readiness_n be_v as_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o generation_n in_o the_o country_n of_o the_o land_n even_o to_o find_v out_o where_o their_o maintenance_n lie_v and_o so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o keep_v god_n ordinance_n from_o pollution_n and_o contempt_n that_o to_o enjoy_v their_o pay_n they_o will_v walk_v contrary_a to_o a_o know_a rule_n and_o express_a command_n cast_v not_o holy_a thing_n unto_o dog_n yet_o these_o man_n i_o say_v rather_o than_o they_o will_v want_v their_o patrimony_n they_o will_v constrain_v all_o man_n to_o partake_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n they_o bewail_v that_o the_o child_n shall_v come_v so_o near_o to_o the_o birth_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o strength_n to_o bring_v forth_o but_o i_o think_v the_o child_n be_v sufficient_o bring_v forth_o unto_o they_o if_o their_o mean_n be_v establish_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o parliament_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v it_o be_v for_o a_o certain_a time_n for_o i_o know_v no_o other_o child_n they_o mean_v but_o two_o viz_n maintenance_n and_o power_n the_o one_o they_o have_v as_o saul_n have_v the_o fat_a cattle_n contrary_a to_o god_n commandment_n the_o other_o they_o shall_v never_o have_v for_o god_n will_v fight_v against_o such_o as_o fight_v for_o they_o as_o it_o appear_v at_o this_o day_n for_o they_o by_o usurp_a power_n ever_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n and_o now_o god_n be_v make_v inquisition_n for_o the_o blood_n which_o have_v be_v spill_v and_o the_o more_o fierce_o they_o go_v on_o to_o build_v up_o a_o babel_n with_o blood_n the_o more_o speedy_o will_v god_n come_v down_o to_o see_v their_o wickedness_n and_o to_o confound_v they_o and_o though_o they_o say_v it_o be_v in_o fervour_n of_o spirit_n for_o the_o house_n of_o their_o god_n and_o although_o the_o parliament_n may_v bear_v with_o they_o at_o their_o entreaty_n yet_o god_n will_v in_o his_o own_o time_n deal_v with_o sinner_n they_o further_o complain_v that_o there_o be_v damnable_a error_n broach_v among_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v among_o the_o presbyterian_n for_o among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n none_o can_v so_o soon_o deliver_v any_o point_n of_o false_a doctrine_n but_o he_o shall_v be_v severe_o deal_v with_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o presbyter_n practice_n be_v to_o preach_v what_o they_o list_v without_o control_n therefore_o error_n may_v be_v broach_v by_o they_o privilegio_fw-la but_o they_o say_v divers_a be_v fall_v off_o within_o these_o few_o year_n but_o methinks_v they_o do_v not_o speak_v pertinent_o for_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o fall_v off_o which_o be_v never_o on_o or_o from_o a_o government_n that_o be_v never_o settle_v and_o they_o themselves_o say_v their_o government_n be_v not_o yet_o establish_v and_o these_o that_o fly_v out_o from_o among_o they_o separate_v themselves_o from_o they_o and_o incorporate_v themselves_o into_o separate_a assembly_n be_v not_o as_o they_o say_v they_o be_v such_o as_o hold_v damnable_a heresy_n but_o such_o abide_v still_o among_o the_o presbyterian_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n people_n be_v constrain_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n to_o separate_v themselves_o from_o such_o person_n that_o be_v retain_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n godless_a in_o their_o life_n and_o blasphemous_a in_o their_o judgement_n yet_o such_o person_n notwithstanding_n be_v in_o matter_n of_o worship_n one_o with_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o land_n and_o these_o be_v the_o vessel_n that_o the_o house_n of_o their_o god_n be_v yet_o fill_v withal_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o those_o that_o separate_v themselves_o from_o they_o for_o they_o admit_v not_o in_o their_o society_n any_o that_o hold_v blasphemous_a error_n neither_o do_v they_o set_v up_o illiterate_a person_n among_o they_o for_o their_o pastor_n as_o the_o presbyterian_n unjust_o accuse_v they_o true_a it_o be_v they_o manage_v their_o meeting_n with_o boldness_n because_o they_o have_v some_o ground_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o parliament_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v wrong_v for_o perform_v the_o true_a worship_n to_o the_o true_a god_n in_o a_o peaceable_a manner_n under_o their_o protection_n as_o also_o correction_n in_o case_n they_o shall_v walk_v as_o the_o presbyterian_n in_o their_o petition_n have_v false_o accuse_v they_o say_v they_o manage_v their_o meeting_n with_o insolency_n which_o be_v a_o unjust_a accusation_n and_o in_o contempt_n of_o all_o authority_n which_o be_v also_o untrue_a to_o the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o city_n which_o be_v another_o falsehood_n every_o one_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n which_o be_v a_o unjust_a affirmation_n as_o the_o rest_n for_o they_o order_v their_o walk_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n but_o these_o petitioner_n accuse_v not_o only_o the_o people_n but_o also_o the_o parliament_n for_o they_o say_v every_o one_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n and_o there_o be_v no_o control_n or_o course_n to_o reclaim_v they_o whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a they_o render_v the_o parliament_n very_o infirm_a or_o careless_a and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n plead_v not_o any_o such_o privilege_n to_o be_v without_o control_n but_o always_o submit_v themselves_o in_o duty_n to_o the_o magistrate_n power_n which_o be_v set_v up_o by_o god_n as_o well_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n as_o for_o the_o praise_n of_o those_o that_o do_v well_o therefore_o all_o these_o petitioner_n inference_n against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v slander_n and_o the_o religion_n of_o god_n do_v not_o breed_v division_n either_o in_o

long_o ago_o which_o have_v be_v disprove_v at_o large_a religion_n i_o say_v breed_v no_o difference_n then_o what_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n the_o wicked_a envy_v the_o godly_a that_o their_o
