A90234	Divine observations upon the London-ministers letter against toleration: by his synodicall, priest-byter-all, nationall, provinciall, classicall, congregationall, superlative, un-erring, clericall, accademicall holynesse. reverend yongue Martin Mar-Priest, sonne, and heire to old Martin Metrapolitane. Wherin the toleration of his sacred person with the whole Independent fraternity, (by what name or title soever dignify'd or distinguished, whether Anabaptists, Brownists, or the like,) is justifyed by the reasons of the London-ministers, which they urge against toleration; and themselves, by their own reasoning, condemned. The reverend authour desires such as have received offence at the 6, 7, and 8 pages in his Ordinance for tythes dismounted, to repaire for satisfaction to the last clause hereof.	Overton, Richard, fl. 1646.	1646 (1646)	Wing O628; Thomason E317_15; ESTC R200544	11,517	16

civil_a power_n preserve_v entire_a in_o its_o own_o proper_a magesteriall_a compass_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o antimagisteriall_a but_o reverend_a martin_n with_o his_o independent_a brethren_n will_v have_v it_o entire_o preserve_v in_o its_o own_o magesteriall_a compass_n they_o will_v not_o have_v it_o wrest_v or_o pervert_v to_o this_o or_o that_o sect_n to_o this_o or_o that_o religion_n but_o will_v have_v it_o yea_o expose_v their_o life_n to_o have_v it_o preserve_v precise_o in_o its_o own_o property_n therefore_o reverend_a martin_n and_o his_o brethren_n be_v not_o anti-magesteriall_a but_o in_o all_o faithfulness_n acknowledge_v themselves_o not_o only_o lie_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o in_o lawful_a authority_n but_o even_o to_o spend_v their_o life_n and_o estate_n in_o their_o just_a defence_n against_o all_o opposition_n encroachment_n and_o usurpation_n thereof_o whatsoever_o and_o to_o this_o our_o practice_n have_v give_v witness_n even_o when_o magestracy_n be_v in_o great_a danger_n of_o subvertion_n for_o when_o the_o parliament_n have_v no_o other_o help_n under_o god_n than_o we_o stick_v close_a to_o they_o even_o when_o the_o king_n come_v in_o a_o hostile_a manner_n for_o the_o 6._o member_n in_o the_o house_n while_o the_o degenerate_a temporize_a presbyter_n stand_v as_o far_o off_o as_o from_o scotland_n to_o westminster_n and_o have_v continue_v unspotted_a in_o our_o fidelity_n to_o they_o even_o unto_o this_o very_a day_n and_o this_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o affirm_v that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v conquer_v and_o confound_v the_o parliament_n the_o now_o parliamentized-presbyter_n even_o the_o clergy_n in_o general_a will_v therewith_o be_v royalize_v rather_o than_o loose_v their_o several_a parsonage_n and_o that_o which_o be_v now_o antichristian_a episcopacy_n will_v then_o be_v as_o christian_a as_o ever_o it_o be_v in_o their_o esteem_v for_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o they_o must_v submit_v unto_o the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v of_o god_n and_o that_o cure_v all_o if_o you_o do_v but_o consider_v they_o have_v even_o reserve_v a_o help_n at_o a_o dead_a lift_n they_o tell_v we_o now_o that_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o presbyter_n be_v all_o one_o and_o thereupon_o retain_v their_o old_a ordination_n derive_v from_o a_o foreign_a power_n and_o so_o go_v forth_o and_o ordain_v other_o young_a bishop_n so_o that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v subdue_v we_o they_o be_v still_o in_o their_o episcopal_a ministry_n and_o a_o little_a royal_a reformation_n will_v continue_v their_o place_n then_o they_o will_v take_v covenant_n preach_v and_o pray_v against_o the_o parliament_n as_o much_o as_o ever_o they_o do_v against_o the_o king_n thus_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v be_v confound_v themselves_o they_o will_v let_v true_a magesteriall_a parliamentary_a government_n go_v to_o confusion_n and_o in_o that_o day_n of_o trial_n scarce_o any_o will_v be_v find_v to_o witness_v against_o he_o except_o the_o now_o despise_a handful_n of_o separate_v and_o yet_o we_o must_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o parliament_n protection_n by_o this_o temporize_a faction_n of_o presbyter_n ingrateful_a inhumanity_n hear_v o_o heaven_n and_o judge_v o_o earth_n but_o whereas_o his_o holiness_n out_o of_o a_o late_a spiritual_a rapture_n
