the_o other_o paper_n i_o shall_v answer_v for_o my_o own_o whereas_o some_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o object_v against_o it_o as_o needless_a thus_o 1._o master_n ashurst_n a_o parliament_n man_n of_o know_a integrity_n and_o of_o eminent_a repute_n for_o piety_n in_o his_o reason_n against_o agreement_n with_o a_o paper_n entitle_v the_o agreement_n of_o the_o peopl_n have_v sufficient_o do_v this_o work_n 2._o it_o be_v likely_a that_o many_o of_o those_o who_o have_v stick_v to_o the_o parliament_n will_v be_v forward_o of_o themselves_o to_o reject_v the_o new_a module_n when_o they_o see_v it_o come_v from_o those_o head_n and_o hand_n by_o which_o so_o many_o member_n of_o parliament_n have_v be_v violent_o detain_v from_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o trust_n wherein_o they_o have_v be_v eminent_o active_a for_o the_o people_n freedom_n 3._o it_o be_v not_o imaginable_a that_o the_o business_n will_v proceed_v to_o subscription_n see_v it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o set_v up_o by_o their_o command_n in_o the_o parish_n meeting-place_n to_o the_o first_o objection_n i_o answer_v that_o though_o master_n ashurst_n have_v handle_v the_o subject_a both_o as_o a_o christian_a and_o as_o a_o statesman_n with_o invincible_a reason_n yet_o see_v that_o price_n be_v not_o so_o common_a as_o it_o deserve_v to_o be_v it_o may_v be_v the_o lot_n of_o this_o paper_n to_o come_v to_o such_o hand_n as_o miss_v of_o that_o and_o so_o this_o may_v do_v some_o good_a though_o not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o other_o to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o new_a module_n come_v from_o man_n who_o have_v do_v much_o good_a service_n in_o another_o kind_n and_o be_v pen_v with_o so_o much_o artifice_n it_o be_v probable_a some_o man_n of_o honest_a affection_n may_v be_v surprise_v into_o a_o subscription_n if_o they_o be_v not_o forewarn_v of_o the_o danger_n for_o their_o sake_n therefore_o have_v i_o undertake_v this_o to_o the_o three_o i_o answer_v the_o provocation_n of_o this_o backslide_n kingdom_n be_v so_o great_a that_o we_o know_v not_o how_o far_o providence_n may_v in_o god_n just_a judgement_n permit_v thing_n to_o be_v sway_v contrary_a to_o our_o apprehension_n as_o we_o have_v see_v by_o late_a and_o unexpected_a experience_n it_o will_v therefore_o be_v wisdom_n to_o fear_v the_o worst_a and_o provide_v a_o timely_a remedy_n which_o i_o desire_v to_o do_v in_o few_o word_n not_o meddle_v with_o those_o circumstance_n which_o make_v the_o new_a module_n practicable_a nor_o many_o thing_n which_o be_v material_a in_o it_o my_o purpose_n not_o be_v to_o give_v a_o ample_a answer_n but_o to_o put_v in_o a_o sufficient_a caution_n against_o it_o by_o show_v that_o the_o main_a thing_n in_o it_o and_o those_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o intend_v by_o it_o be_v such_o as_o so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v have_v compare_v they_o with_o the_o law_n and_o the_o testimony_n can_v be_v subscribe_v unto_o by_o most_o of_o the_o parliament_n partaker_n without_o perjury_n nor_o by_o any_o subject_n of_o this_o kingdom_n without_o sin_n the_o thing_n most_o considerable_a in_o that_o agreement_n be_v two_o 1._o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o civil_a government_n from_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o in_o parliament_n assemble_v to_o new_a representee_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o parliament_n 2._o the_o vast_a toleration_n of_o heresy_n schism_n idolatry_n and_o other_o sin_n immediate_o against_o the_o god_n of_o glory_n upon_o these_o two_o branch_n i_o shall_v proceed_v that_o the_o new_a module_n can_v be_v subscribe_v by_o most_o of_o the_o parliament_n friend_n without_o perjury_n i_o argue_v thus_o for_o any_o man_n to_o subscribe_v to_o thing_n contrary_a to_o their_o own_o oath_n be_v perjury_n but_o most_o of_o all_o the_o parliament_n friend_n have_v take_v the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n wherein_o they_o have_v swear_v constant_o to_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n to_o the_o near_a uniformity_n in_o religion_n and_o form_n of_o church-governement_n and_o to_o endeavour_v the_o extirpation_n of_o superstition_n heresy_n schism_n and_o to_o preserve_v the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o king_n majesty_n authority_n that_o the_o world_n may_v bear_v witness_n with_o their_o conscience_n of_o their_o loyalty_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o thought_n or_o intention_n to_o diminish_v his_o majesty_n just_a power_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v with_o all_o faithfulness_n endeavour_v the_o discovery_n of_o all_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v evil_a instrument_n by_o hinder_v the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n divide_v the_o king_n from_o his_o people_n or_o one_o kingdom_n from_o another_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o condign_a punishment_n therefore_o it_o be_v perjury_n for_o most_o of_o the_o parliament_n friend_n to_o subscribe_v to_o the_o new_a agreement_n which_o give_v toleration_n to_o superstition_n heresy_n and_o schism_n and_o which_o take_v away_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o king_n authority_n and_o divide_v the_o king_n from_o his_o people_n and_o obstruct_v uniformity_n in_o religion_n and_o form_n of_o church-government_n and_o be_v likely_a to_o divide_v this_o kingdom_n from_o one_o or_o both_o of_o the_o other_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o the_o protestation_n which_o many_o of_o they_o also_o have_v take_v oblige_v they_o express_o to_o some_o of_o the_o foremention_v particular_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o new_a agreement_n let_v i_o therefore_o beseech_v all_o those_o which_o have_v take_v either_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n or_o the_o protestation_n or_o the_o covenant_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o consider_v these_o text_n of_o scripture_n psal_n 15.1_o 4._o lord_n who_o shall_v

any_o subject_n of_o this_o kingdom_n without_o fin_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o two_o chief_a branch_n above_o mention_v viz._n the_o alteration_n of_o the_o civil_a government_n and_o the_o

contrary_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o subject_n but_o to_o alter_v the_o supreme_a government_n of_o a_o state_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o subject_a therefore_o it_o be_v finfull_a in_o any_o subject_n to_o subscribe_v to_o alter_v the_o supreme_a government_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o subject_n to_o go_v about_o to_o alter_v the_o supreme_a government_n of_o a_o kingdom_n wherein_o he_o be_v a_o subject_a be_v evident_a in_o many_o scripture_n whereof_o i_o shall_v here_o produce_v a_o few_o prov._n 24.21_o 22._o fear_v thou_o the_o
