A73049	Englands pvrginge fire Conteyninge two petitions, the one to the Kinges most excellent Majesty, the other to the High Courte of Parliament held at this tyme in England. Shewinge in diverse perticulers, how the Church in England might be ordered, yet more conformably to the Will of God reveiled in his worde then at this day it is. Herewithall is declared, the evell and lamentable effects of our vnable and negligent ministers: and the happy fruict of our learned and painefull pastors. A worke most needefull for theise tymes, as servinge to turne away the wrath and iudgements of God from this lande, through the removinge, (accordinge to the advertisements herein given) such disorders and evells, as for which the wrath of God may be, and is, kindled against this Land, and the church therein.

word_n you_o shall_v find_v a_o comforteable_a show_n of_o godliness_n here_o a_o true_a evidence_n of_o christian_a life_n and_o conversation_n here_o therefore_o be_v indeed_o a_o evidence_n of_o the_o inseazoninge_a and_o habitation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n both_o in_o pastor_n and_o people_n here_o a_o plain_a evidence_n both_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o power_n and_o also_o of_o the_o weakeninge_v if_o not_o castinge_v out_o of_o the_o contrary_a kingdom_n even_o the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n of_o these_o minister_n and_o parish_n therefore_o i_o rejoice_v and_o for_o your_o gracious_a favour_n towards_o they_o for_o their_o better_a encouragement_n in_o well_o do_v i_o humble_o petition_v your_o sacred_a majesty_n in_o this_o write_n but_o some_o and_o too_o many_o of_o these_o be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o those_o who_o minister_n be_v silence_v and_o who_o people_n be_v reproach_v with_o the_o nick_n name_n of_o puritan_n my_o lord_n and_o king_n i_o petition_v not_o that_o their_o error_n be_v suffer_v but_o this_o i_o petition_n that_o the_o minister_n leave_v their_o error_n and_o the_o people_n also_o forsake_v they_o both_o minister_n and_o people_n may_v find_v you_o gracious_a towards_o they_o by_o restore_v the_o minister_n to_o their_o former_a ministration_n and_o by_o acceptinge_v the_o people_n as_o the_o light_n of_o our_o land_n for_o religion_n there_o be_v no_o garden_n where_o weed_n will_v not_o grow_v neither_o do_v man_n destroy_v the_o garden_n for_o the_o weed_n sake_n but_o rather_o weed_n out_o the_o weed_n and_o preserve_v the_o garden_n still_o we_o may_v not_o conceive_v that_o none_o that_o be_v true_a christian_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n fall_n into_o any_o error_n for_o peter_n have_v his_o error_n galat._n 2_o 11_o and_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n &_o galatia_n have_v their_o strayinge_n from_o the_o truth_n when_o yet_o neither_o peter_n be_v silence_v but_o only_o the_o error_n he_o fall_v into_o withstand_v nor_o those_o church_n forsake_v but_o only_o the_o weed_n weed_v out_o and_o it_o be_v true_o a_o hard_a thing_n that_o man_n ministerye_n be_v whole_o suppress_v for_o a_o error_n or_o two_o in_o judgement_n whereas_o rather_o first_o they_o shall_v be_v but_o stay_v from_o preachinge_a such_o error_n and_o afterwards_o upon_o obstinate_a persi_v silence_v but_o seinge_v many_o of_o our_o learned_a and_o painful_a divine_n who_o ministry_n have_v be_v very_o profitable_a in_o this_o church_n of_o england_n be_v whole_o for_o some_o few_o error_n silence_v i_o be_o now_o a_o petitioner_n that_o their_o ministry_n may_v be_v restore_v so_o as_o they_o forsake_v those_o thing_n which_o true_o be_v error_n in_o they_o and_o for_o the_o people_n i_o humble_o pray_v that_o leave_v to_o speak_v against_o lawful_a power_n and_o office_n in_o the_o church_n and_o against_o our_o divine_a service_n &_o leave_v to_o condemn_v god_n people_n in_o lawful_a thing_n they_o may_v be_v relieve_v from_o those_o scandale_n which_o wicked_a man_n cast_v upon_o they_o sure_o dread_a sovereign_n these_o congregation_n where_o silence_v minister_n have_v be_v do_v manifest_o declare_v themselves_o to_o be_v god_n saint_n in_o your_o kingdom_n yea_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o where_o a_o minister_n conformable_a to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o our_o church_n have_v succeed_v in_o the_o place_n of_o a_o silence_a minister_n godliness_n have_v more_o and_o more_o decay_a in_o your_o people_n i_o will_v not_o say_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o their_o conformity_n god_n forbid_v but_o this_o i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o their_o not_o exercisinge_v like_o pastoral_n duty_n as_o the_o silence_a minister_n exercise_v and_o it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o our_o bishop_n not_o pressinge_v they_o to_o exercise_v such_o but_o rather_o leave_v they_o to_o a_o prejudicial_a liberty_n in_o life_n and_o conversation_n thus_o have_v i_o my_o most_o gracious_a

both_o for_o bishop_n and_o arch-bishopps_a though_o indeed_o for_o one_o set_v over_o teacher_n and_o church_n we_o have_v great_a evidence_n shall_v we_o not_o much_o more_o receive_v a_o

to_o observe_v they_o again_o some_o may_v say_v what_o be_v their_o office_n i_o answer_v seinge_v they_o be_v call_v governor_n and_o ruler_n and_o yet_o inferior_a to_o teacher_n it_o imply_v that_o they_o with_o though_o under_o the_o clergy_n of_o a_o parish_n shall_v govern_v the_o people_n of_o the_o parish_n and_o seinge_v government_n be_v lame_a where_o power_n of_o judginge_v &_o
