i_o be_v hearty_o glad_a to_o see_v your_o lordship_n this_o morning_n in_o that_o calm_a and_o devout_a temper_n at_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n but_o peace_n of_o mind_n unless_o it_o be_v

tender_a compassion_n of_o your_o lordship_n case_n and_o from_o all_o the_o good_a will_v that_o one_o man_n can_v b●ar_v to_o another_o i_o do_v humble_o offer_v to_o your_o lordship_n deliberate_a thought_n these_o follow_a consideration_n concern_v the_o point_n of_o resistance_n if_o our_o religion_n and_o right_n shall_v be_v invade_v as_o your_o lordship_n put_v the_o case_n concern_v which_o i_o understand_v by_o dr._n burnet_n that_o your_o lordship_n have_v once_o receive_v satisfaction_n and_o be_o sorry_a to_o find_v a_o change_n first_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n do_v plain_o forbid_v the_o resistance_n of_o authority_n second_o that_o though_o our_o religion_n be_v establish_v by_o law_n which_o your_o lordship_n urge_v as_o a_o difference_n between_o our_o case_n and_o that_o of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n yet_o in_o the_o same_o law_n which_o establish_v our_o religion_n it_o be_v declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o to_o take_v up_o arm_n etc._n etc._n beside_o that_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a law_n declare_v the_o power_n of_o the_o militia_n to_o be_v sole_o in_o the_o king_n and_o this_o tie_v the_o hand_n of_o subject_n though_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o general_n rule_v of_o scripture_n h●d_v leave_v we_o at_o liberty_n which_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v not_o because_o the_o government_n and_o peace_n of_o humane_a society_n can_v not_o w●ll_n subsist_v upon_o these_o term_n three_o your_o lordship_n opinion_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o declare_a doctrine_n of_o all_o protestant_a church_n and_o though_o some_o particular_a person_n have_v teach_v otherwise_o yet_o they_o have_v be_v contradict_v herein_o and_o condemn_v for_o it_o by_o the_o generality_n of_o protestant_n and_o i_o beg_v of_o your_o lordship_n to_o consider_v how_o it_o will_v agree_v with_o a_o avow_a assert_v of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n to_o go_v contrary_a to_o the_o general_n doctrine_n of_o the_o protestant_n my_o end_n in_o this_o be_v to_o convince_v your_o lordship_n that_o you_o be_v in_o a_o very_a great_a and_o dangerous_a mistake_n and_o be_v so_o convince_v that_o which_o before_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n will_v appear_v of_o a_o much_o more_o heinous_a nature_n as_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v and_o call_v for_o a_o very_a particular_a and_o deep_a repentance_n which_o if_o your_o lordship_n sincere_o exercise_v upon_o the_o sight_n of_o your_o error_n by_o a_o penitent_a acknowledgement_n of_o it_o to_o god_n and_o man_n you_o will_v not_o only_o obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o god_n but_o prevent_v a_o mighty_a scandal_n to_o the_o reform_a religion_n i_o be_o very_o loath_a to_o give_v your_o lordship_n any_o disquiet_n in_o the_o distress_n you_o be_v in_o which_o i_o commiserate_v from_o my_o heart_n but_o be_o much_o more_o concern_v that_o you_o do_v not_o leave_v the_o world_n in_o a_o delusion_n and_o false_a peace_n to_o the_o hindrance_n of_o your_o eternal_a happiness_n i_o hearty_o pray_v for_o you_o and_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n to_o believe_v that_o i_o be_o with_o the_o great_a sincerity_n and_o compassion_n
