the_o great_a lord_n in_o the_o land_n or_o most_o potent_a hypocrite_n in_o this_o city_n which_o shall_v find_v fault_n with_o any_o of_o my_o fantastical_a or_o rather_o satirical_a labour_n for_o i_o have_v in_o that_o manner_n name_v none_o but_o such_o as_o will_v apply_v it_o to_o themselves_o but_o if_o some_o will_v be_v malicious_o quarrelsome_a and_o take_v it_o to_o themselves_o let_v they_o understand_v that_o i_o fear_v none_o of_o they_o for_o i_o shall_v then_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v much_o more_o hypocritical_a than_o my_o late_a judicious_a honour_a master_n be_v like_o laban_n or_o nabal_n and_o so_o far_o from_o scandalum_fw-la magnatum_fw-la that_o it_o shall_v appear_v verbum_fw-la veritatis_fw-la for_o if_o they_o seek_v utter_o to_o abolish_v the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o then_o to_o erect_v a_o aristocratical_a or_o democratical_a jurisdiction_n in_o this_o kingdom_n which_o have_v be_v so_o long_o govern_v under_o many_o royal_a monarch_n or_o at_o least_o shall_v find_v fault_n with_o my_o industrious_a labour_n in_o my_o make_n of_o book_n which_o be_v only_o to_o clear_v myself_o of_o what_o i_o have_v write_v in_o my_o meteor_n i_o protest_v and_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v a_o company_n of_o hypocrite_n that_o do_v such_o act_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v good_a to_o mark_v they_o which_o so_o cause_n division_n in_o church_n and_o state_n according_a as_o be_v relate_v in_o his_o majesty_n declaration_n and_o other_o man_n writing_n for_o many_o of_o they_o be_v such_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o 2._o timothy_n 3.6_o who_o creep_v into_o house_n and_o lead_v captive_a silly_a woman_n lade_v with_o sin_n lead_v away_o with_o divers_a lust_n ever_o learning_n and_o never_o able_a to_o come_v to_o

their_o subscription_n because_o these_o dangerous_a time_n they_o will_v not_o be_v see_v to_o animate_v or_o encourage_v my_o angry_a and_o satirical_a quill_n and_o for_o my_o reverend_a patron_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o advise_v i_o that_o he_o do_v utter_o dislike_v and_o dissuade_v i_o from_o it_o as_o by_o his_o letter_n may_v appear_v for_o since_o i_o have_v make_v my_o disaster_n i_o have_v not_o see_v he_o which_o grieve_v i_o to_o the_o very_a heart_n that_o such_o man_n as_o he_o shall_v be_v keep_v in_o obscurity_n and_o not_o suffer_v to_o preach_v and_o write_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o in_o former_a time_n for_o my_o lady_n and_o other_o my_o friend_n have_v be_v so_o far_o for_o encourage_v i_o that_o they_o have_v threaten_v i_o to_o put_v i_o out_o of_o their_o service_n and_o tell_v i_o in_o the_o word_n of_o samuel_n that_o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o harken_v then_o the_o fat_a of_o ram_n for_o who_o have_v require_v these_o thing_n at_o my_o hand_n and_o who_o ever_o reject_v the_o council_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o do_v prosper_v with_o other_o such_o like_a exhortation_n which_o i_o do_v very_o well_o consider_v but_o yet_o be_v continual_o upbraid_v for_o my_o work_n which_o my_o conscience_n tell_v i_o be_v well_o do_v and_o therein_o be_v no_o wrong_n to_o any_o but_o such_o gall_a back_n as_o find_v themselves_o prick_v to_o the_o quick_a i_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o answer_v they_o in_o verbal_a expression_n but_o in_o print_n for_o which_o i_o be_v wrong_v and_o sure_o i_o think_v i_o be_o divine_o call_v thereunto_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v better_a to_o obey_v god_n then_o man_n who_o breath_n be_v in_o his_o nostril_n and_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n or_o necessity_n like_o a_o break_a reed_n will_v rather_o grieve_v then_o help_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o afflict_a as_o experience_n of_o this_o time_n make_v too_o manifest_o appear_v for_o if_o god_n have_v put_v a_o seasonable_a word_n into_o my_o heart_n that_o aim_v at_o his_o glory_n and_o good_a of_o other_o shall_v i_o not_o write_v it_o if_o god_n have_v stir_v up_o my_o spirit_n as_o he_o do_v the_o prophet_n daniel_n in_o the_o 45._o and_o 46._o verse_n of_o susanna_n story_n shall_v i_o fear_v to_o say_v that_o i_o be_o clear_a of_o or_o from_o all_o the_o innocent_a blood_n that_o have_v be_v shed_v in_o this_o unnatural_a civil_a war_n no_o i_o will_v not_o for_o with_o balaam_n the_o word_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v into_o my_o heart_n that_o will_v i_o write_v though_o i_o may_v gain_v a_o house_n full_a of_o gold_n nay_o all_o sir_n james_n his_o legacy_n i_o will_v not_o leave_v till_o i_o have_v vanquish_v all_o my_o malicious_a adversary_n and_o therefore_o to_o those_o that_o wish_v i_o to_o desist_v i_o speak_v in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n get_v thou_o behind_o i_o satan_n for_o thou_o savour_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o man_n and_o not_o of_o god_n and_o to_o my_o friend_n i_o speak_v in_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n what_o mean_v you_o to_o weep_v and_o to_o break_v my_o heart_n for_o i_o be_o ready_a not_o to_o be_v bind_v only_o but_o also_o to_o die_v at_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o therefore_o entreat_v they_o only_o to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v send_v i_o a_o quiet_a mind_n for_o if_o they_o be_v righteous_a i_o be_o sure_a their_o prayer_n will_v prevail_v with_o god_n and_o in_o time_n i_o shall_v have_v good_a success_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v all_o england_n especial_o london_n will_v take_v my_o satirical_a labour_n as_o a_o warning_n piece_n discharge_v from_o a_o good_a conscience_n but_o not_o from_o the_o cannon_n oath_n etc._n etc._n nor_o ordinance_n illegal_a etc._n etc._n for_o though_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v fancy_n dream_n or_o chimaera_n of_o my_o own_o brain_n yet_o they_o may_v prove_v as_o fatal_a to_o some_o as_o pharaoh_n baker_n do_v and_o to_o other_o successful_a as_o his_o butler_n for_o i_o will_v that_o all_o people_n in_o the_o land_n do_v serious_o consider_v not_o only_o i_o but_o the_o resolve_a conscience_n of_o all_o true_a godly_a learned_a man_n such_o as_o saint_n paul_n rom._n 13.1_o that_o it_o be_v utter_o unlawful_a nay_o damnable_a to_o resist_v much_o more_o oppose_v the_o high_a power_n who_o be_v as_o saint_n peter_n describe_v they_o first_o the_o king_n and_o those_o that_o be_v send_v by_o he_o and_o not_o those_o that_o set_v up_o themselves_o against_o he_o then_o there_o will_v not_o be_v such_o warlike_a preparation_n and_o bloody_a massacre_n against_o parliamentary_a proceed_n free_a speak_v as_o now_o there_o be_v on_o both_o side_n for_o now_o a_o honest_a man_n may_v not_o speak_v much_o less_o write_v his_o mind_n free_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o protestation_n which_o i_o have_v take_v unanswerable_a by_o argument_n as_o i_o praise_v god_n my_o work_n be_v but_o he_o shall_v be_v count_v a_o malignant_a and_o threaten_v to_o be_v plunder_v pillage_v or_o imprison_v as_o by_o woeful_a experience_n it_o be_v too_o manifest_a but_o i_o with_o saint_n paul_n have_v fight_v with_o beast_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o overcome_v all_o my_o malicious_a adversary_n as_o bark_v of_o dog_n grumble_n of_o cat_n hiss_v of_o serpent_n and_o with_o david_n free_v myself_o from_o the_o paw_n of_o the_o angry_a lion_n and_o ravenous_a bear_n do_v not_o fear_v nor_o care_n for_o the_o crafty_a slight_n of_o the_o fox_n the_o malicious_a subtlety_n of_o the_o wolf_n or_o tyrannical_a jurisdiction_n of_o any_o cruel_a tiger_n but_o hope_v in_o time_n to_o overcome_v even_o great_a goliath_n himself_o and_o if_o i_o come_v into_o trouble_n for_o this_o my_o fancy_n i_o be_o confident_a that_o the_o lord_n in_o good_a time_n will_v deliver_v i_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o psalmist_n though_o many_o be_v the_o trouble_n of_o the_o righteous_a the_o lord_n will_v deliver_v he_o out_o of_o they_o all_o he_o keep_v all_o his_o bone_n so_o that_o not_o one_o of_o they_o be_v break_v evil_a shall_v slay_v the_o wicked_a and_o they_o that_o hate_v the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v desolate_a but_o the_o lord_n redeem_v the_o soul_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o none_o that_o trust_v in_o he_o shall_v perish_v psal._n 43.19.20_o and_o therefore_o conclude_v with_o this_o heavenly_a soliloquium_fw-la of_o the_o prophet_n david_n who_o action_n of_o conquest_n i_o desire_v to_o imitate_v 1._o sam._n 17.37_o why_o be_v thou_o cast_v
