that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o peter_n say_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a or_o unto_o governor_n send_v by_o he_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil-doer_n and_o the_o praise_n o_o they_o that_o

high_a power_n and_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n who_o be_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil-doer_n and_o for_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o say_v that_o every_o soul_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n for_o punishment_n of_o people_n for_o serve_v and_o worship_v of_o god_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n religion_n and_o worship_n for_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n never_o give_v forth_o any_o such_o command_n or_o ordinance_n and_o therefore_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n their_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n who_o be_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil-doer_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n tell_v you_o who_o the_o law_n be_v make_v against_o and_o what_o evil-doer_n they_o be_v that_o be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v punish_v as_o before_o mention_v and_o for_o a_o praise_n to_o they_o that_o do_v well_o for_o the_o law_n be_v not_o make_v against_o the_o righteous_a but_o to_o punish_v such_o

that_o make_v they_o for_o do_v not_o peter_n and_o paul_n and_o other_o apostle_n and_o christian_n suffer_v for_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o their_o obey_v serve_a and_o worship_v of_o god_n who_o can_v not_o obey_v the_o doctrine_n ordinance_n or_o commandment_n of_o the_o jew_n nor_o diana_n nor_o of_o the_o roman_n for_o if_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o christian_n and_o apostle_n have_v than_o they_o have_v not_o suffer_v and_o the_o apostle_n say_v colossian_n 2.20_o 21_o 22._o if_o you_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n from_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n why_o as_o though_o live_v in_o the_o world_n be_v you_o subject_n to_o ordinance_n touch_v not_o taste_v not_o handle_v not_o which_o all_o be_v to_o perish_v with_o the_o use_n after_o the_o commandment_n and_o doctrine_n of_o men._n so_o here_o you_o may_v see_v there_o be_v doctrine_n ordinance_n and_o commandment_n of_o man_n concern_v religion_n and_o worship_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v touch_v with_o nor_o taste_v nor_o handle_v and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n say_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n which_o be_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil-doer_n so_o these_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o such_o evil-doer_n as_o before_o mention_v every_o soul_n be_v to_o submit_v to_o that_o high_a power_n for_o these_o be_v for_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o ordinance_n commandment_n or_o doctrine_n of_o man_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n religion_n and_o worship_n nor_o to_o touch_v taste_n nor_o handle_v they_o and_o therefore_o the_o christian_n suffer_v by_o the_o jew_n and_o by_o the_o heathen-romans_a and_o diana_n worshipper_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o ten_o persecution_n and_o in_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o we_o desire_v you_o to_o make_v a_o distinction_n betwixt_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o high_a power_n their_o law_n and_o ordinance_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil-doer_n as_o before_o mention_v and_o likewise_o such_o ordinance_n commandment_n and_o doctrine_n of_o man_n that_o the_o christian_n be_v not_o to_o be_v subject_a unto_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n religion_n and_o worship_n and_o be_v not_o to_o touch_v taste_n nor_o handle_v they_o and_o therefore_o they_o suffer_v and_o pray_v what_o spirit_n be_v and_o be_v this_o that_o have_v make_v christian_n to_o suffer_v for_o religion_n and_o serve_v and_o worship_v of_o god_n since_o the_o apostle_n day_n not_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n for_o christ_n tell_v they_o plain_o that_o will_v have_v have_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o they_o that_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o you_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o and_o therefore_o all_o in_o christendom_n that_o have_v persecute_v people_n for_o matter_n of_o faith_n &_o religion_n &_o serve_v and_o worship_v god_n that_o make_v they_o have_v they_o know_v what_o spirit_n they_o be_v and_o be_v of_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o have_v such_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o themselves_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v none_o of_o he_o and_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n will_v persecute_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n but_o we_o never_o read_v that_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n do_v persecute_v any_o about_o religion_n faith_n and_o worship_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o so_o we_o desire_v you_o to_o come_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n that_o you_o may_v make_v a_o distinction_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v between_o those_o doctrine_n commandment_n and_o ordinance_n of_o man_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v touch_v taste_v nor_o handle_v and_o the_o law_n and_o ordinance_n of_o man_n which_o the_o christian_n be_v to_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o sinner_n and_o evil-doer_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n speak_v of_o before_o for_o he_o make_v a_o distinction_n and_o cease_v from_o imprison_v and_o persecute_v both_o protestant_n and_o other_o that_o profess_v christianity_n and_o give_v over_o spoil_v their_o good_n for_o religion_n faith_n and_o worship_n and_o their_o serve_a and_o worship_v of_o god_n and_o let_v the_o bishop_n and_o priest_n set_v open_v all_o the_o prison-door_n for_o the_o prisoner_n to_o go_v free_a that_o through_o their_o mean_n have_v be_v cast_v into_o prison_n and_o their_o good_n restore_v they_o again_o that_o through_o any_o of_o their_o mean_n have_v be_v take_v from_o they_o for_o the_o relief_n of_o their_o poor_a family_n and_o if_o not_o see_v how_o you_o can_v prove_v your_o doctrine_n commandment_n and_o ordinance_n of_o persecution_n from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n doctrine_n without_o which_o you_o must_v acknowledge_v your_o doctrine_n commandment_n and_o ordinance_n to_o be_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n that_o have_v not_o know_v what_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v touch_v taste_v nor_o handle_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o if_o you_o will_v have_v we_o conform_v to_o such_o doctrine_n ordinance_n and_o commandment_n of_o man_n that_o do_v not_o know_v what_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o themselves_o and_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v not_o to_o be_v touch_v taste_v nor_o handle_v that_o act_n contrary_a to_o the_o royal_a law_n of_o god_n and_o do_v unto_o other_o as_o they_o will_v not_o have_v other_o do_v unto_o they_o will_v you_o be_v serve_v so_o yourselves_o so_o we_o pray_v consider_v and_o do_v unto_o other_o as_o you_o will_v have_v other_o do_v unto_o you_o and_o love_v your_o neighbour_n as_o yourselves_o and_o let_v nothing_o be_v in_o your_o pulpit_n but_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o joyful_a glorious_a gospel_n of_o life_n peace_n and_o salvation_n to_o every_o creature_n under_o heaven_n and_o free_o if_o you_o have_v receive_v it_o free_o give_v it_o for_o neither_o christ_n nor_o the_o apostle_n do_v preach_v up_o a_o doctrine_n ordinance_n or_o commandment_n to_o imprison_v to_o death_n persecute_v and_o spoil_v good_n of_o they_o that_o do_v not_o conform_v to_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o against_o blasphemer_n schismatic_n heretic_n and_o seducer_n be_v not_o they_o to_o overcome_v evil_a with_o good_a and_o be_v not_o their_o weapon_n to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o not_o carnal_a and_o be_v not_o goal_n and_o carnal_a weapon_n to_o force_n people_n to_o ordinance_n doctrine_n and_o commandment_n of_o man_n contrary_a to_o the_o spiritual_a weapon_n and_o armour_n that_o the_o apostle_n war_v withal_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n therefore_o we_o pray_v you_o again_o to_o consider_v what_o ground_n you_o have_v out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n who_o profess_v yourselves_o christian_n to_o spoil_v good_n cast_v into_o prison_n yea_o many_o to_o death_n and_o to_o war_n with_o carnal_a weapon_n and_o armour_n against_o such_o tender_a conscience_n in_o matter_n of_o difference_n in_o religion_n and_o faith_n and_o that_o do_v obey_v serve_v and_o worship_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n almighty_a
