so_o will_v minister_n be_v diligent_a and_o faithful_a in_o press_v of_o these_o duty_n and_o that_o in_o a_o solid_a and_o convince_a way_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o

that_o so_o they_o may_v make_v themselves_o manifest_a to_o the_o conscience_n of_o their_o hearer_n &_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o gainsayers_a final_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o land_n shall_v beware_v of_o pride_n and_o carnal_a confidence_n and_o in_o a_o humble_a way_n shall_v wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n and_o tread_v the_o step_n of_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n and_o he_o

any_o thing_n that_o the_o sectary_n have_v ever_o do_v towards_o they_o we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o particular_n of_o your_o recommendation_n 1._o and_o to_o this_o first_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v but_o desire_v that_o you_o and_o we_o also_o may_v without_o hypocrisy_n do_v the_o thing_n you_o advise_v unto_o 2._o to_o the_o second_o if_o you_o mean_v by_o contend_v earnest_o for_o

of_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o agree_v for_o so_o much_o only_o we_o must_v expunge_v your_o there_o last_a word_n contain_v a_o limitation_n to_o your_o land_n for_o you_o may_v no_o

great_a deal_n of_o enmity_n against_o the_o work_n and_o people_n of_o god_n which_o be_v ordinary_o the_o work_n of_o a_o antichristian_a pride_n whereby_o you_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o you_o

that_o lie_v claim_v to_o that_o privilege_n if_o they_o be_v not_o also_o of_o the_o same_o complexion_n with_o you_o with_o who_o you_o will_v not_o convers_a lest_o you_o shall_v be_v unprejudiced_a and_o so_o run_v in_o danger_n of_o a_o kirk-censure_n by_o have_v a_o better_a opinion_n perhaps_o of_o a_o sectary_n and_o thereby_o have_v your_o zeal_n bring_v to_o a_o christian_a temper_n and_o direct_v to_o move_v rational_o according_a to_o its_o object_n we_o must_v tell_v you_o too_o that_o there_o be_v some_o of_o your_o faction_n in_o this_o land_n malignants_n jure_fw-la divino_fw-la who_o by_o their_o insinuation_n and_o secret_a infusion_n do_v foment_n faction_n and_o sow_v division_n and_o disobedience_n to_o the_o government_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n and_o while_o they_o will_v pretend_v a_o conscientiousness_n do_v more_o harm_n to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o land_n than_o the_o worst_a of_o the_o old_a malignant_n these_o we_o shall_v mark_v and_o cause_v they_o to_o avoid_v or_o otherwise_o put_v they_o into_o a_o condition_n not_o much_o capable_a of_o do_v we_o mischief_n 4._o it_o have_v be_v much_o more_o your_o wisdom_n and_o your_o happiness_n if_o you_o have_v take_v diligent_a heed_n to_o have_v have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o your_o king_n who_o be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v much_o bind_v up_o by_o the_o

and_o you_o be_v like_a enough_o to_o be_v plunge_v into_o a_o deep_a pit_n of_o a_o last_a misery_n 5._o we_o have_v only_o here_o with_o sad_a and_o tender_a heart_n to_o lament_v the_o woeful_a blindness_n and_o unsavouriness_n that_o your_o formality_n and_o hypocrisy_n by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n have_v bring_v upon_o you_o that_o upon_o so_o serious_a a_o occasion_n as_o this_o be_v you_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o rule_n to_o direct_v your_o act_n and_o forbearing_n by_o but_o the_o condemnation_n of_o your_o kirk_n and_o your_o covenant_n we_o blush_v and_o mourn_v while_o we_o read_v these_o passage_n we_o sectary_n be_v scandalize_v at_o it_o it_o be_v not_o your_o way_n to_o make_v we_o your_o proselyte_n for_o we_o believ_n and_o hold_v forth_o that_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v believe_v and_o to_o be_v do_v obtrude_v not_o your_o covenant_n nor_o the_o kirk_n upon_o we_o we_o shall_v condemn_v they_o both_o if_o they_o either_o be_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o that_o sacred_a rule_n be_v these_o expression_n become_v these_o time_n of_o light_n we_o think_v they_o time_n of_o darkness_n when_o the_o scripture_n be_v forget_v and_o the_o sentence_n the_o decree_n the_o decretal_n and_o extravagant_o be_v make_v the_o rule_n of_o a_o christian_a faith_n and_o practice_n how_o come_v your_o church_n to_o have_v get_v such_o credit_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v emulous_a with_o rome_n for_o infallibility_n accustom_v your_o selus_fw-la therefore_o to_o canonical_a language_n and_o talk_v not_o of_o god_n interest_n while_o you_o measure_v it_o not_o by_o god_n word_n though_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o word_n interest_n sound_v with_o god_n be_v hardly_o concord_n in_o our_o ear_n 6._o you_o lose_v your_o advantage_n and_o defence_n when_o you_o become_v invader_n you_o shall_v have_v need_v no_o defence_n against_o we_o if_o you_o have_v not_o begin_v to_o invade_v and_o proceed_v in_o such_o way_n as_o declare_v you_o still_o enemy_n if_o you_o have_v be_v righteous_a it_o have_v be_v well_o for_o your_o selus_fw-la and_o we_o too_o and_o when_o you_o be_v bring_v to_o a_o condition_n to_o be_v so_o unrighteous_a no_o more_o and_o that_o we_o have_v such_o a_o assurance_n of_o it_o as_o you_o can_v break_v we_o shall_v not_o desire_v long_o to_o pursue_v you_o and_o if_o this_o tenderness_n of_o not_o move_v till_o god_n go_v before_o you_o have_v possess_v your_o parliament_n in_o 1648_o we_o be_v confident_a you_o have_v never_o invade_v england_n 7._o by_o this_o it_o seem_v you_o be_v not_o sure_a of_o your_o king_n your_o selus_fw-la doubt_n whether_o he_o be_v real_a or_o not_o and_o free_a from_o malignant_a principle_n what_o mean_v you_o to_o be_v trouble_v with_o he_o upon_o these_o uncertain_a term_n here_o be_v something_o at_o the_o bottom_n will_v find_v you_o out_o at_o last_o you_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o you_o paper_n very_o tender_a of_o join_v with_o malignant_n or_o have_v any_o in_o your_o army_n why_o not_o so_o as_o well_o as_o have_v a_o army_n for_o a_o malignant_a for_o it_o seem_v your_o selus_fw-la dare_v not_o undertake_v he_o be_v not_o one_o 8_o we_o whole_o like_v your_o counsel_n to_o your_o minister_n and_o wish_v you_o will_v take_v the_o same_o cours_n the_o next_o paper_n you_o emit_v then_o perhaps_o we_o may_v receiv_v some_o information_n or_o conviction_n for_o we_o profess_v our_o selus_fw-la ready_a to_o receiv_v it_o when_o from_o those_o ground_n and_o principle_n and_o we_o will_v have_v you_o define_v or_o describe_v a_o seclarie_n and_o tell_v we_o wherein_o be_v the_o poison_n of_o their_o opinion_n and_o practice_n for_o the_o name_n have_v no_o harm_n in_o it_o and_o we_o begin_v to_o take_v it_o up_o and_o wear_v it_o very_o content_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o also_o that_o many_o of_o those_o man_n you_o so_o call_v be_v of_o the_o best_a among_o we_o god_n have_v honour_v they_o to_o do_v great_a service_n to_o this_o nation_n for_o that_o cause_n we_o both_o love_n and_o honour_v they_o and_o think_v we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o do_v so_o because_o you_o hate_v they_o for_o we_o know_v you_o pursue_v a_o interest_n quite_o contrary_a to_o we_o 9_o in_o this_o you_o be_v short_a you_o shall_v have_v add_v hypocrisy_n to_o your_o pride_n and_o carnal_a confidence_n and_o true_o if_o they_o will_v leave_v off_o their_o swear_n uncleanness_n and_o drunkenness_n among_o you_o which_o be_v so_o very_a general_n it_o will_v do_v well_o and_o if_o in_o a_o deep_a and_o true_a humility_n they_o will_v retire_v into_o themselves_o and_o search_v their_o heart_n and_o turn_v from_o all_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n a_o thing_n much_o speak_v of_o and_o arrogate_a by_o many_o that_o neither_o have_v it_o nor_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v and_o meet_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o endeavour_v to_o agree_v with_o their_o adversary_n while_o he_o be_v in_o the_o way_n you_o may_v vet_z be_v safe_a
