declaration_n of_o several_a baptise_a believer_n walk_v in_o all_o the_o foundation_n principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n mention_v in_o heb._n 6.1_o 2._o whereas_o there_o have_v be_v a_o paper_n late_o print_v end_v publish_v in_o the_o name_n of_o those_o the_o world_n false_o call_v anabaptist_n wherein_o they_o conceive_v themselves_o concern_v to_o declare_v and_o publish_v something_o to_o the_o view_n of_o all_o man_n by_o way_n of_o vindication_n of_o themselves_o from_o those_o false_a accusation_n and_o callumny_n raise_v against_o they_o as_o by_o their_o declaration_n be_v manifest_v yet_o there_o be_v something_n own_v by_o they_o as_o appear_v unto_o we_o much_o disagree_v to_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v think_v it_o our_o duty_n to_o witness_v against_o they_o therein_o as_o be_v not_o according_a to_o a_o gospel_n spirit_n nor_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n neither_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o those_o who_o name_n be_v set_v unto_o that_o declaration_n and_o our_o reason_n for_o our_o thus_o declare_v be_v 1._o for_o the_o satissaction_n of_o those_o who_o be_v much_o trouble_v at_o those_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o ourselves_o and_o do_v not_o affect_v unto_o they_o therein_o 2._o lest_o by_o that_o their_o declaration_n they_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o harden_v any_o in_o their_o way_n of_o falsehood_n and_o weaken_v the_o heart_n and_o hand_n of_o such_o as_o be_v come_v out_o of_o confusion_n which_o may_v be_v do_v by_o their_o seem_n too_o much_o to_o approve_v of_o a_o false_a ministry_n and_o their_o atribute_v of_o the_o word_n baptism_n to_o the_o sprinkle_v of_o infant_n 3._o because_o we_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o truth_n engage_v to_o bear_v our_o testimony_n which_o we_o hope_v we_o shall_v do_v to_o the_o suffering_n of_o death_n against_o that_o babylonish_n antichristian_a worship_n still_o on_o foot_n and_o endeavour_v to_o be_v more_o exaltod_a in_o these_o nation_n it_o stand_v direct_o against_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o truth_n itself_o whereunto_o once_o we_o be_v inflave_v and_o from_o which_o the_o lord_n through_o his_o grace_n have_v diliveredus_fw-la and_o which_o we_o do_v believe_v god_n will_v in_o justice_n and_o with_o judgement_n bring_v down_o and_o destroy_v 4._o because_o to_o our_o grief_n and_o trouble_n some_o especial_o of_o those_o person_n who_o put_v forth_o that_o declaration_n be_v too_o much_o leaven_v through_o their_o adherence_n to_o that_o antichristian_a ministry_n and_o therefore_o be_v look_v upon_o by_o we_o as_o person_n much_o corrupt_v both_o in_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n therefore_o though_o we_o do_v assent_v in_o some_o thing_n with_o they_o in_o their_o declaration_n we_o do_v notwithstanding_o judge_v it_o a_o duty_n incumbent_a up_o on_o we_o to_o manifest_v wherein_o we_o do_v dissent_n from_o they_o and_o those_o particular_n wherein_o we_o dissent_n from_o they_o be_v 1._o their_o own_v the_o national_a ministry_n so_o as_o to_o stand_v by_o it_o and_o preserve_v it_o 2._o their_o abridgement_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n to_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n in_o these_o nation_n only_a episcapacy_n presbytery_n or_o any_o other_o slint_v form_n which_o be_v as_o we_o understand_v any_o form_n of_o worship_n the_o magistrate_n shall_v set_v up_o in_o these_o nation_n now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o to_o their_o own_v the_o national_a ministry_n to_o stand_v by_o it_o and_o to_o preserveit_n we_o do_v judge_n as_o god_n have_v abundant_o make_v it_o manifest_v in_o these_o nation_n according_a to_o his_o word_n and_o that_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o most_o person_n who_o true_o fear_v god_n so_o do_v we_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v antichristian_a have_v receive_v its_o be_v and_o maintenence_n from_o the_o beast_n and_o also_o because_o we_o be_v force_v against_o our_o conscience_n to_o maintain_v it_o while_o we_o judge_v it_o babylonish_n therefore_o we_o do_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n angel_n and_o man_n declare_v against_o it_o but_o as_o for_o the_o persous_n who_o be_v exercise_v in_o this_o ministry_n we_o do_v desire_n and_o shall_v endeavour_v their_o peace_n and_o well-being_n as_o our_o own_o 2._o we_o do_v declare_v that_o we_o will_v have_v a_o full_a and_o equal_a liberty_n to_o be_v grant_v and_o that_o as_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o all_o person_n whatsoever_o without_o exception_n of_o one_o or_o other_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o there_o conscience_n in_o the_o worship_v of_o god_n for_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o give_v unto_o another_o that_o we_o will_v in_o this_o case_n enjoy_v ourselves_o or_o who_o be_v he_o that_o will_v judge_v another_o man_n conscience_n to_o his_o own_o master_n let_v he_o stand_v or_o fall_v if_o any_o corrupt_a or_o unsound_a doctrine_n come_v into_o the_o church_n there_o be_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n to_o deal_v with_o they_o by_o but_o what_o have_v the_o nember_n theroo_v to_o do_v to_o judge_v they_o that_o be_v without_o sure_o when_o peace_n will_v be_v upon_o the_o earth_n every_o man_n shall_v serve_v his_o god_n and_o the_o saint_n shall_v walk_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n their_o god_n therefore_o our_o desire_n be_v that_o god_n may_v have_v that_o glorious_a prerogative_n of_o judge_a man_n heart_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n of_o his_o son_n 3._o we_o do_v declare_v that_o we_o own_o magistracy_n to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v our_o desire_n to_o manifest_v our_o subjection_n and_o obedience_n in_o all_o thing_n civil_a and_o lawful_a to_o all_o magistrate_n who_o god_n do_v appoint_v and_o set_v over_o we_o in_o these_o nation_n who_o work_n be_v to_o be_v a_o terror_n to_o evil_a doer_n and_o a_o praise_n unto_o they_o that_o do_v well_o this_o we_o do_v declare_v before_o the_o lord_n who_o will_v judge_v both_o quick_a and_o dead_a at_o which_o time_n the_o ungodly_a teacher_n and_o leader_n of_o the_o people_n who_o make_v it_o nothing_o now_o to_o speak_v lie_n of_o we_o and_o render_v we_o odious_a to_o the_o people_n shall_v they_o answer_v for_o all_o their_o ungodly_a deed_n and_o hard_a speech_n against_o we_o 4._o we_o do_v declare_v that_o although_o we_o will_v have_v a_o toleration_n of_o man_n in_o their_o several_a worship_n yet_o we_o will_v not_o have_v the_o least_o toleration_n of_o any_o miscarriage_n in_o any_o person_n in_o civil_a thing_n much_o less_o of_o ourselves_o but_o we_o do_v earnest_o desire_v that_o all_o unjust_a dishonest_a und_fw-ge evil_a behaviour_n against_o man_n may_v be_v punish_v by_o those_o who_o be_v magistrate_n who_o ought_v not_o to_o bear_v the_o sword_n in_o vain_a and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o demerit_n of_o the_o fact_n of_o the_o offend_a person_n this_o we_o have_v think_v good_a to_o declare_v to_o all_o the_o world_n whereby_o they_o may_v see_v our_o desire_n be_v according_a to_o our_o prayer_n for_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n that_o under_o they_o we_o may_v live_v a_o peaceable_a and_o quiet_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n
