but_o so_o it_o can_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n by_o the_o persecuter_n who_o can_v sleep_v unless_o they_o do_v mischief_n and_o they_o do_v hinder_v other_o from_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o a_o persecuter_n can_v be_v sincere_a and_o in_o good_a earnest_n when_o he_o say_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o all_o they_o of_o a_o persecute_v spirit_n do_v but_o dissemble_v and_o mock_v god_n and_o tell_v he_o a_o parcel_n of_o lie_n to_o his_o very_a face_n for_o they_o do_v say_v in_o word_n that_o god_n will_n must_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o in_o work_n they_o do_v utter_o deny_v it_o for_o they_o dethrone_v the_o almighty_a who_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v and_o the_o proud_a persecuter_n do_v mount_v god_n throne_n here_o on_o earth_n namely_o the_o soul_n and_o

on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v do_v in_o hell_n and_o not_o to_o do_v god_n will_n in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n again_o sixthly_a a_o persecuter_n as_o often_o as_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n

now_o a_o persecuter_n can_v say_v this_o hearty_o and_o sincere_o because_o that_o instead_o of_o pray_v to_o god_n he_o do_v imprecate_v the_o forest_n of_o judgement_n upon_o himself_o for_o he_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n as_o we_o forgive_v they_o their_o trespass_n against_o we_o and_o the_o persecuter_n do_v not_o nor_o yet_o do_v not_o forgive_v the_o dissenter_n though_o but_o

trespass_n against_o god_n or_o else_o they_o will_v not_o forgive_v they_o their_o pretend_a trespass_n against_o they_o which_o make_v the_o remedy_n infinite_o worse_o than_o the_o disease_n and_o so_o they_o choose_v rather_o to_o lay_v their_o body_n with_o the_o ground_n and_o as_o the_o street_n for_o they_o to_o go_v over_o then_o that_o they_o will_v sin_v against_o god_n by_o conform_v which_o be_v passive_a obedience_n of_o the_o right_a kind_n therefore_o the_o persecuter_n do_v pray_v that_o god_n will_v not_o forgive_v they_o their_o sin_n for_o christ_n have_v say_v but_o if_o you_o forgive_v not_o man_n their_o trespasset_fw-la neither_o will_v your_o father_n forgive_v you_o your_o trespass_n mat._n 6.15_o now_o if_o the_o persecuter_n do_v run_v their_o hatred_n and_o

this_o inform_v we_o of_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n and_o the_o indispensible_a duty_n for_o honest_a good_a man_n of_o all_o sort_n to_o come_v into_o the_o goyernment_n and_o to_o destroy_v all_o
