the establishment of the government of the Church in a Presbyterie way and setling all things therein according to the true meaning and sense of Sacred Scripture As also to distinguish as farre as is possible betweene them that are Christians indeed and those that are onely Christians by name c. that such as are not fit to be partaker of holy things either by reason of their continued prophane lives or by reason of their darke ignorance to receive the blessed Sacrament of the Lords Supper may be for a time separated from those that are fit worthie receivers of those holy miste●ies till they be better instructed and admonished yet so as there shall not be any violence to force any mans conscience as some have dreamed and given out in words to retard the worke and to rayse jealousies no otherwise then by holy and Christian exhortation according to the rule of holy Scripture that so we that professe Christianitie may be Christians indeed and all of one mind and one heart as the Father and the Son are one for Christ hath but one sheep-fold and one Shepheard and he that entreth not in by the doore into the sheep-fold but by some other way he is a thiefe and a robber It is true that all authorities and powers are made subject to Christ both in heaven and on earth yet all Christians and men are by Christ made subject to all lawfull authorities on earth for the powers that be are ordained of God and we are all bound to submit thereunto even for conscience sake for so the Apostle teacheth that is in all things commanded by God and in all things not forbidden by God else were the sword put into the hand of the Magistrate in vaine which it is not for Scripture tells us He beareth not the sword in vaine Therefore he that disobeyeth in either of these resists the ordinance of God as he that obeyeth more then this transgresseth against the command of God both which make him lyable to wrath and brings him in danger of damnation I pray God we may all seriously consider it and learne to be godly wise that we may denie our selves forsake our owne wisedomes and our owne righteousnesse that God in Christ may be all in all unto us If we thus doe and seeke Peace one with another God will surely give Peace to the Kingdome else we cannot expect it from God as a blessing The Garrison of Banbury hath of late done verie much hurt to all the adjacent Counties and doe dayly make incursions into all Roads have robbed manie Carriers that passe Coventry Road especially they are as perfect at that Trade as if there were with them some of the Journy-men of the Lord of Loughboroughs which is the arch rob-Carrier of England they bestir themselves devillishly as if they were in their last yeare of libertie now let loose to trouble the Inhabitants of the Earth Sandall Castle and Skipton in Yorkeshire are both besieged the Enemie are yet wilfull and must be whipt into a better humour which it is likely by Gods blessing will shortly be done There is great hopes of

Governour of the Garrison of Newport Pagnell Some Letters from Ireland relate much crueltie dayly executed upon the Protestant partie by those Antichristian Rebe's or rather Hellish Pagans it is pittisull to relate and very grievous to consider the immane dealings of those bloudie men let us all seeke God for them and send them what helpe we are able and God will in due time deliver them and us I shall now endeavour to give you intelligence of the passages in the West Last weeke I told you our Noble Generall Sir Thomas Fairfax was at Wells and Major Generall Massey gone toward the enemie

time obey his Proclamation yet I never see it and will not tell any man where he is I know he is not where he should be if he were it would be a double happinesse not more to his subjects then to himselfe God open his eyes and shew him the way to find out his errors mis-leaders they hate him but his Majestie loves them but his Majestie loves not them that loves him most he takes counsaile with them that are the destroyers of counsaile It is by Letters certined from the Generals Armie that hee intends to advance speedily toward the enemie with his whole Body the enemie drawes all out of Cornwall and their Garrisons to make up a Body it seemes they meane to have another field for their part let them goe on and let God fight his owne Battailes and judge betweene us and them The inhabitants of Cornwall though they are really Gorings friends and that partie to assist them will not suffer Goring to come with his Armie into that Countrey and to that end they supplicate lest our Generall following their Countrey should be destroyed by both Armies they begin to faint if God give their Armie now with Greenvile and Goring into the Generals hand all Cornwall will crie for mercie

disappointed in that plot and hope The Club-men of Hampshire generally have declared themselves to cast themselves upon the Parliament for all matters of right and to submit to such government of the
