A93694	An answer to one part of the Lord Protector's speech: or, A vindication of the fifth monarchy-men, in reference to an accusation of evil charged upon them in his speech to the Parliament in the Painted Chamber, the 4 of September, 1654. / Published by John Spittlehouse, to the end all men may see the strong endeavours that have been used to obstruct the kingly interest of Jehovah the Lord Christ in the world, by blowing the bellows of a persecution against those that desire he should reign over all nations of the earth, by his holy, just, and perfect laws and ordinances recorded in the sacred Scriptures to that very end and purpose.	Spittlehouse, John.	1654 (1654)	Wing S5003; Thomason E813_19; ESTC R211046	21,496	28

magnify_v the_o law_n of_o heathen_n and_o antichristian_o above_o they_o be_v to_o admiration_n but_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o for_o the_o future_a and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o

the_o foresay_a royal_a law_n of_o jehovah_n the_o lord_n christ_n speech_n though_o now_o by_o some_o mis-applied_n resp_n to_o this_o clause_n let_v mr._n owen_n speak_v for_o we_o in_o his_o

their_o corrupt_a and_o carnal_a advantage_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o say_v he_o make_v they_o frame_v a_o way_n for_o god_n to_o proceed_v in_o which_o when_o he_o do_v not_o how_o be_v they_o surprise_v man_n take_v up_o principle_n they_o will_v adhere_v unto_o wise_a principle_n forsooth_o yea_o and_o very_o righteous_a too_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o must_v be_v square_v according_a to_o their_o principle_n and_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v wrought_v contrary_a even_o by_o god_n himself_o how_o disappoint_v be_v they_o the_o most_o tremendous_a judgement_n of_o god_n in_o this_o

s●e_v the_o profit_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o nation_n etc._n etc._n hence_o he_o conclude_v that_o if_o it_o be_v incumbent_a on_o he_o to_o see_v that_o the_o realm_n receive_v no_o detriment_n he_o must_v not_o let_v the_o people_n go_v god_n confirm_v his_o heart_n in_o this_o principle_n which_o be_v good_a in_o itself_o but_o abominable_a monarchy_n abominable_a when_o do_v in_o opposition_n

never_o so_o eminent_o so_o mighty_o they_o will_v keep_v up_o their_o principle_n what_o be_v this_o but_o judicial_a hardness_n and_o this_o i_o say_v be_v one_o reason_n why_o the_o act_n of_o
