Divided into ten sections, comprising severall most libellous, scandalous, seditious, insolent, uncharitable, (and some blasphemous) passages; published in late unlicensed printed pamphlets, against the ecclesiasticall jurisdiction and power of parliaments, councels, synods, Christian kings and magistrates, in generall; the ordinances and proceedings of this present Parliament, in speciall: the national covenant, assembly, directory, our brethren of Scotland, Presbyterian government; the Church of England, with her ministers, worship; the opposers of independent novelties; ... Whereunto some letters and papers lately sent from the Sommer-Islands, are subjoyned, relating the schismaticall, illegal, tyrannical proceedings of some Independents there, in gathering their new-churches, to the great distraction and prejudice of that plantation. / Published for the common good by William Prynne of Lincolnes Inne, Esquire.

to_o a_o due_a consideration_n of_o what_o we_o do_v i_o shall_v only_o answer_v in_o general_n it_o be_v a_o say_n of_o divine_n agreeable_a also_o to_o the_o experience_n of_o good_a christian_n that_o satan_n never_o tempt_v more_o dangerous_o whether_o by_o himself_o or_o other_o then_o when_o he_o do_v most_o persuade_v we_o not_o to_o resist_v his_o temptation_n but_o to_o yield_v

also_o among_o the_o people_n even_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v false_a teacher_n among_o you_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o take_v up_o our_o religion_n upon_o the_o credit_n of_o man_n how_o great_a soever_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v but_o examine_v thing_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o see_v that_o it_o be_v firm_o ground_v there_o to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n if_o
