wrong_v who_o have_v be_v a_o suffer_a people_n many_o year_n in_o this_o case_n and_o through_o these_o practice_n and_o the_o wrong_n be_v much_o more_o at_o this_o time_n in_o this_o case_n than_o in_o time_n late_o pass_v because_o there_o be_v now_o ecclesiastical_a court_n set_v up_o and_o appoint_v unto_o which_o the_o law_n do_v only_o refer_v for_o the_o recover_n of_o tithe_n and_o some_o that_o in_o those_o court_n be_v call_v in_o question_n about_o tithe_n and_o therefore_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o be_v call_v quaker_n aught_o to_o be_v set_v free_a from_o their_o imprisonment_n in_o that_o case_n who_o have_v be_v wrong_v so_o long_o together_o and_o yet_o be_v sufferer_n by_o writ_n and_o warrant_n and_o subpena_n out_o of_o temporal_a court_n and_o through_o the_o practice_n of_o such_o court_n and_o if_o any_o man_n be_v henceforth_o grieve_v for_o want_n of_o his_o tithe_n then_o let_v we_o come_v to_o answer_v in_o such_o court_v as_o by_o the_o law_n be_v appoint_v to_o hear_v and_o determine_v the_o same_o and_o let_v we_o have_v free_a liberty_n to_o make_v our_o just_a and_o reasonable_a defence_n on_o our_o own_o behalf_n and_o not_o to_o be_v interrupt_v in_o our_o defence_n for_o it_o be_v a_o case_n that_o do_v relate_v to_o our_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o such_o as_o be_v count_v spiritual_a man_n who_o be_v appoint_v to_o judge_v in_o spiritual_a matter_n aught_o to_o hear_v we_o to_o the_o full_a in_o what_o we_o have_v to_o say_v in_o our_o own_o defence_n that_o so_o our_o answer_n may_v be_v take_v and_o consider_v touch_v the_o matter_n which_o by_o any_o bill_n may_v be_v exhibit_v against_o we_o and_o then_o however_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v concern_v we_o or_o what_o sentence_n may_v proceed_v against_o we_o we_o shall_v be_v content_v in_o our_o place_n and_o shall_v either_o active_o or_o passive_o be_v subject_a without_o resist_v as_o our_o testimony_n hitherto_o do_v sufficient_o evidence_n for_o we_o only_o let_v we_o have_v fair_a deal_n and_o legal_a proceed_n as_o man_n and_o christian_n for_o as_o man_n we_o have_v a_o perfect_a understanding_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o soberness_n we_o do_v behave_v ourselves_o and_o as_o christian_n we_o have_v patience_n to_o endure_v and_o do_v not_o seek_v revenge_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v fair_a deal_n among_o all_o man_n who_o be_v concern_v with_o we_o in_o any_o case_n there_o be_v other_o corrupt_a stream_n which_o descend_v from_o the_o unreasonable_a part_n of_o man_n towards_o we_o and_o be_v practise_v in_o divers_a case_n concern_v we_o by_o which_o great_a suffering_n be_v inflict_v upon_o we_o and_o such_o practice_n may_v brief_o be_v reduce_v into_o these_o particular_a head_n 1._o to_o summon_v we_o to_o appear_v at_o session_n and_o when_o we_o appear_v according_a to_o our_o summons_n and_o stand_v at_o the_o bar_n to_o make_v our_o just_a defence_n to_o what_o may_v be_v charge_v against_o we_o then_o to_o tender_v unto_o we_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o press_v we_o with_o much_o violence_n to_o take_v it_o and_o though_o that_o oath_n be_v institute_v touch_v another_o people_n as_o by_o the_o title_n of_o it_o may_v appear_v which_o be_v for_o suppress_v popish_a recusant_n and_o it_o be_v institute_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o danger_n which_o be_v by_o such_o a_o people_n intend_v against_o the_o king_n and_o his_o government_n by_o the_o gunpowder-plot_n and_o though_o afterward_o it_o be_v press_v to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o will_v grant_v the_o extent_n of_o it_o to_o all_o his_o subject_n and_o that_o he_o give_v his_o consent_n so_o to_o do_v yet_o it_o may_v be_v see_v by_o that_o law_n which_o do_v so_o institute_v it_o in_o that_o case_n and_o upon_o the_o request_n of_o that_o parliament_n that_o the_o intention_n and_o mind_n both_o of_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v for_o the_o find_v out_o of_o such_o a_o people_n as_o do_v adhere_v to_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n and_o though_o it_o do_v extend_v to_o all_o as_o to_o the_o tender_a of_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v with_o certain_a consideration_n as_o if_o any_o officer_n of_o a_o township_n do_v complain_v to_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n that_o any_o person_n or_o person_n above_o the_o age_n of_o sixteen_o year_n do_v not_o due_o repair_v to_o their_o parish_n church_n or_o do_v not_o due_o receive_v that_o which_o be_v call_v a_o sacrament_n as_o in_o the_o say_a act_n be_v more_o full_o express_v that_o then_o in_o such_o case_n the_o justice_n of_o peace_n have_v power_n to_o send_v for_o such_o person_n or_o person_n so_o complain_v of_o by_o his_o warrant_n and_o may_v tender_v unto_o they_o the_o say_a oath_n which_o for_o refuse_v he_o have_v power_n to_o proceed_v against_o they_o as_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o say_a act_n but_o still_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v but_o to_o discover_v such_o person_n or_o person_n as_o private_o do_v adhere_v to_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v express_v in_o the_o oath_n that_o they_o shall_v renounce_v the_o pope_n and_o praemunire_n be_v ordain_v only_o against_o such_o person_n as_o shall_v purchase_v bull_n from_o rome_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o 16_o of_o rich._n 2d_o chap._n 5._o and_o now_o to_o make_v this_o the_o great_a business_n in_o court_n and_o at_o other_o time_n against_o we_o who_o be_v a_o innocent_a people_n who_o deny_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n and_o all_o his_o practice_n and_o to_o entrap_v we_o with_o it_o as_o with_o a_o snare_n because_o we_o can_v for_o conscience_n towards_o god_n take_v any_o oath_n at_o all_o but_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o christ_n command_n who_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o and_o it_o be_v the_o matter_n contain_v in_o the_o oath_n that_o be_v chief_o intend_v in_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o it_o and_o now_o to_o ensnare_v we_o with_o it_o upon_o every_o occasion_n who_o make_v conscience_n of_o a_o oath_n and_o yet_o answer_v the_o matter_n as_o full_a as_o any_o people_n for_o our_o peaceable_a live_n under_o the_o king_n government_n do_v evident_o demonstrate_v our_o obedience_n to_o he_o whilst_o many_o other_o that_o fear_v not_o a_o oath_n can_v swear_v and_o yet_o not_o answer_v the_o matter_n contain_v in_o the_o oath_n and_o here_o we_o show_v forth_o our_o obedience_n to_o the_o king_n by_o answer_v the_o matter_n in_o the_o oath_n and_o we_o also_o show_v forth_o our_o true_a love_n to_o god_n in_o keep_v his_o command_n for_o it_o be_v christ_n command_n that_o we_o do_v obey_v in_o this_o case_n and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o we_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o oath_n and_o not_o whole_o the_o matter_n and_o to_o proceed_v against_o we_o in_o this_o case_n be_v very_o hard_a measure_n and_o how_o many_o of_o we_o that_o have_v suffer_v imprisonment_n and_o spoil_v of_o our_o good_n and_o divers_a other_o way_n have_v deep_o suffer_v by_o it_o and_o through_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o though_o we_o be_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v by_o the_o intention_n of_o those_o from_o who_o the_o oath_n have_v its_o first_o institution_n and_o for_o to_o fine_v we_o or_o imprison_v we_o in_o this_o case_n as_o have_v be_v and_o be_v yet_o practise_v be_v not_o only_o unreasonable_a from_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o ground_n here_o mention_v but_o it_o be_v also_o a_o practice_n which_o stand_v opposite_a to_o the_o law_n itself_o as_o in_o the_o 42._o edw._n 3d._n ch_n 3._o where_o it_o be_v express_v that_o for_o the_o good_a government_n of_o the_o commons_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o answer_v without_o presentment_n before_o justice_n or_o matter_n of_o record_n or_o by_o due_a process_n and_o writ_n original_a according_a to_o the_o old_a law_n and_o if_o any_o thing_n from_o henceforth_o be_v do_v to_o the_o contrary_a it_o shall_v be_v void_a and_o hold_v for_o error_n etc._n etc._n now_o by_o this_o law_n none_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o answer_v without_o presentment_n or_o matter_n of_o record_n or_o due_a process_n therefore_o to_o wave_v a_o presentment_n upon_o which_o the_o party_n stand_v present_v and_o for_o which_o cause_n he_o be_v summon_v there_o to_o appear_v and_o do_v appear_v and_o then_o to_o tender_v the_o oath_n unto_o he_o and_o put_v he_o strict_o to_o answer_v whether_o he_o will_v swear_v or_o no_o it_o be_v not_o legal_a in_o law_n for_o there_o be_v no_o presentment_n nor_o matter_n of_o record_n nor_o due_a process_n against_o he_o in_o that_o case_n and_o to_o say_v will_v you_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n or_o will_v you_o swear_v when_o a_o presentment_n lie_v against_o he_o in_o another_o case_n and_o he_o stand_v at_o the_o bar_n
