difficult_a matter_n to_o answer_v with_o clearness_n herein_o and_o safety_n to_o our_o christian_a principle_n against_o kill_v and_o destroy_v one_o another_o for_o either_o these_o passage_n must_v be_v speak_v as_o from_o a_o prophet_n of_o god_n or_o only_o as_o a_o christian_a however_o conditional_o first_o if_o as_o a_o prophet_n than_o he_o speak_v not_o always_o what_o be_v desirable_a or_o pleasant_a to_o he_o according_a to_o his_o christian_a principle_n nor_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o understanding_n as_o a_o man_n nor_o from_o any_o human_a contrivance_n but_o what_o be_v command_v he_o of_o god_n as_o relate_v to_o judgement_n or_o calamity_n which_o may_v be_v of_o divers_a kind_n and_o then_o he_o may_v speak_v and_o prophesy_v of_o war_n and_o destruction_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o not_o at_o all_o be_v of_o such_o a_o spirit_n or_o principle_n in_o himself_o as_o to_o maintain_v or_o desire_v war_n and_o fight_a as_o the_o prophet_n

himself_n who_o say_v my_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n for_o if_o it_o be_v my_o servant_n will_v fight_v yet_o prophesy_v of_o the_o sad_a and_o miserable_a destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o of_o those_o murderer_n that_o slay_v the_o heir_n and_o say_v to_o those_o hypocrite_n fill_v you_o up_o the_o measure_n of_o your_o father_n iniquity_n and_o this_o be_v that_o all_o the_o righteous_a blood_n shed_v may_v be_v require_v at_o their_o hand_n and_o several_a instance_n of_o god_n judgement_n may_v be_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n against_o the_o great_a whore_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v speak_v as_o a_o prophet_n and_o be_v yet_o a_o christian_a of_o divers_a calamity_n and_o judgement_n which_o he_o can_v be_v active_a in_o and_o yet_o not_o destroy_v his_o christian_a principle_n second_o but_o if_o as_o a_o christian_a only_o and_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o christian_a freedom_n and_o understand_v these_o aforesaid_a passage_n be_v speak_v then_o i_o may_v lawful_o conclude_v that_o the_o design_n thereof_o be_v not_o to_o incite_v to_o fight_v kill_v or_o bloodshed_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v

be_v express_v in_o the_o same_o paper_n that_o possible_o they_o may_v not_o have_v meet_v with_o such_o resistance_n if_o any_o in_o that_o case_n for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o they_o be_v formidable_a for_o a_o time_n and_o what_o success_n they_o may_v have_v have_v for_o such_o a_o end_n our_o adversary_n can_v determine_v however_o to_o require_v their_o inquisition_n and_o to_o knock_v at_o rome_n door_n prove_v no_o violence_n all_o this_o may_v have_v be_v do_v by_o embassy_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o d._n of_o savoy_n that_o persecute_v the_o poor_a piedmontor_n the_o stock_n of_o the_o waldenses_n for_o he_o prove_v not_o a_o incitation_n unto_o bloodshed_n and_o slaughter_n

in_o the_o say_a paper_n but_o only_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v require_v the_o innocent_a blood_n that_o have_v be_v shed_v after_o they_o have_v set_v up_o their_o standard_n at_o rome_n according_a to_o what_o many_o of_o they_o have_v often_o promise_v before_o they_o fall_v on_o persecute_v and_o imprison_v our_o friend_n and_o herein_o they_o be_v reprove_v of_o breach_n of_o promise_n that_o many_o of_o the_o old_a army_n have_v make_v not_o to_o lay_v down_o their_o arm_n till_o they_o have_v set_v up_o their_o standard_n at_o rome_n and_o break_v down_o oppression_n there_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o fall_v upon_o oppress_v and_o imprison_v man_n for_o conscience_n here_o may_v they_o not_o just_o from_o their_o own_o former_a pretence_n and_o promise_n be_v ask_v why_o do_v you_o imprison_v we_o or_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v imprison_v as_o many_o be_v in_o the_o protector_n name_n and_o time_n why_o do_v you_o not_o go_v to_o rome_n and_o break_v down_o the_o pope_n inquisition_n and_o in_o point_n of_o justice_n require_v the_o innocent_a blood_n that_o have_v be_v shed_v by_o that_o persecute_v power_n and_o may_v they_o not_o have_v require_v this_o as_o magistrate_n and_o see_v what_o satisfaction_n will_v have_v be_v make_v according_a to_o their_o own_o engagement_n but_o when_o they_o set_v up_o persecution_n in_o england_n they_o lose_v their_o power_n and_o dread_a and_o become_v weak_a and_o feeble_a till_o the_o lord_n overturn_v they_o and_o yet_o though_o it_o '_o can_v consist_v with_o our_o christian_a
