A76085	The second part of that book call'd Independency not Gods ordinance: or the post-script, discovering the uncharitable dealing of the Independents towards their Christian brethren, with the jugglings of many of their pastors and ministers, to the misleading of the poor people to the detriment of their own souls, and the hurt both of church and state, with the danger of novelties in religion; proving that Independency, is one of the most dangerous sects, that ever appeared in the world, since mortality inhabited the earth. In the which also there is a satisfactory answer given to the principall cavils of him that writ that railing pamphlet, stil'd The falshood of Mr Will. Prynnes Triumphing in the antiquity of popish princes and parliaments. With Doctor Bastvvicks just defence against some calumnies in way of preface. / By John Bastvvick, Dr in Physick.; Independency not Gods ordinance.

tell_v i_o withal_o that_o i_o will_v sad_a the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n if_o i_o write_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o presbytery_n i_o reply_v that_o i_o have_v think_v that_o all_o the_o

ground_n or_o reason_n for_o it_o yea_o i_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v both_o unchristian_a and_o pharisaical_a unchristian_a in_o regard_n that_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v their_o brethren_n and_o redeem_v with_o the_o same_o price_n and_o be_v believer_n as_o well_o as_o any_o independent_o and_o serve_v their_o lord_n and_o master_n with_o as_o much_o sincerity_n as_o any_o of_o they_o &_o shall_v be_v as_o willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n or_o any_o truth_n of_o it_o as_o any_o independent_o and_o stand_v to_o it_o when_o they_o will_v run_v away_o and_o therefore_o they_o do_v very_o unchristian_o to_o un-saint_n their_o brethren_n and_o pharisaical_o boast_v of_o their_o own_o sanctity_n magnify_v themselves_o while_o they_o vilify_v other_o but_o they_o may_v remember_v what_o our_o saviour_n tell_v they_o that_o what_o be_v prize_v among_o man_n be_v not_o esteem_v of_o by_o god_n and_o that_o such_o as_o advance_v themselves_o shall_v be_v bring_v down_o and_o those_o that_o justify_v themselves_o before_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v before_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o counsel_v they_o to_o lay_v aside_o all_o high_a thought_n of_o themselves_o and_o to_o think_v a_o little_a better_o of_o their_o brethren_n the_o presbyterian_o and_o to_o consider_v that_o they_o be_v saint_n also_o and_o wish_v they_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o do_v not_o by_o their_o scurrilous_a and_o blasphemous_a writing_n in_o defence_n of_o their_o novelty_n and_o independency_n sad_a the_o heart_n of_o those_o that_o be_v saint_n indeed_o but_o for_o a_o satisfactory_a answer_n i_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o if_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o any_o truth_n of_o it_o will_v sad_a the_o heart_n of_o either_o saint_n or_o angel_n i_o will_v not_o desert_v it_o for_o i_o be_v to_o please_v god_n and_o not_o man_n for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v of_o himself_o gal._n 1._o vers_fw-la 1._o so_o i_o may_v say_v in_o this_o cause_n if_o i_o yet_o please_v man_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o christ_n &_o therefore_o in_o maintain_v of_o truth_n i_o tell_v they_o i_o will_v only_o aim_v at_o the_o glorify_v of_o god_n and_o how_o it_o may_v please_v he_o and_o notwithstanding_o my_o resolution_n upon_o all_o occasion_n they_o solicit_v i_o that_o i_o will_v stand_v a_o neuter_n and_o use_v some_o more_o reason_n to_o move_v i_o to_o it_o tell_v i_o that_o mr._n prynne_n by_o meddle_v in_o that_o business_n have_v lose_v the_o love_n of_o all_o god_n people_n and_o be_v now_o grow_v odious_a among_o they_o insomuch_o that_o they_o call_v all_o his_o former_a suffering_n in_o question_n and_o doubt_v of_o the_o reality_n of_o his_o religion_n and_o therefore_o they_o fear_v if_o i_o shall_v intermeddle_v in_o that_o quarrel_n it_o will_v be_v very_o prejudicial_a unto_o i_o and_o therefore_o they_o desire_v i_o as_o i_o tender_v i_o own_o good_a and_o the_o good_a of_o i_o i_o will_v not_o appear_v in_o that_o cause_n but_o stand_v a_o neuter_n to_o all_o which_o i_o thus_o answer_v that_o to_o stand_v as_o neuter_n in_o this_o business_n i_o shall_v make_v myself_o hateful_a to_o god_n and_o

that_o be_v of_o no_o side_n be_v the_o worst_a of_o man_n and_o that_o by_o their_o neutrality_n of_o all_o side_n they_o be_v the_o mundungo_n and_o garbige_fw-la of_o mankind_n and_o much_o more_o
