conclude_v these_o thing_n be_v of_o so_o great_a importance_n although_o for_o brevity_n sake_n i_o can_v but_o touch_v each_o particular_a here_o insert_v let_v we_o every_o one_o now_o in_o our_o several_a place_n and_o calling_n lay_v aside_o all_o envy_n and_o bitterness_n superfluity_n of_o naughtiness_n that_o so_o through_o meekness_n and_o love_n we_o may_v promote_v the_o good_a of_o church_n and_o state_n so_o shall_v god_n be_v our_o king_n and_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o bless_v we_o so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v if_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v gather_v together_o against_o we_o since_o he_o be_v a_o all-sufficient_a refuge_n to_o his_o people_n as_o by_o good_a experience_n we_o have_v already_o find_v but_o if_o we_o still_o go_v on_o perverse_o and_o oppose_v he_o in_o make_v faction_n to_o carry_v on_o private_a interest_n against_o his_o peculiar_a interest_n which_o be_v the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o this_o church_n and_o state_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o his_o saint_n he_o will_v certain_o break_v we_o to_o piece_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v a_o scorn_n and_o by_o word_n to_o nation_n o_o then_o that_o our_o governor_n will_v act_v their_o part_n herein_o for_o who_o know_v but_o they_o may_v be_v distinguish_v and_o separate_v thus_o unexpected_o from_o their_o brethren_n and_o exalt_v to_o the_o high_a place_n of_o judicature_n for_o such_o a_o time_n and_o season_n and_o work_v as_o this_o which_o if_o they_o shall_v not_o now_o as_o wise_a and_o godly_a man_n improve_v they_o and_o their_o house_n shall_v certain_o perish_v when_o yet_o deliverance_n shall_v come_v to_o god_n people_n some_o other_o way_n second_o i_o wish_v also_o that_o all_o royalist_n which_o have_v see_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n lift_v up_o against_o they_o and_o their_o king_n not_o withstand_v all_o fair_a gloss_n on_o foul_a matter_n will_v now_o sit_v down_o and_o consider_v these_o be_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n

build_v but_o rather_o quiet_o sit_v down_o and_o see_v what_o gradual_o god_n will_v do_v among_o we_o four_o that_o all_o presbyter_n that_o be_v so_o violent_a for_o a_o government_n as_o indeed_o one_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v will_v comply_v in_o this_o which_o be_v conceive_v to_o be_v near_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o in_o many_o particular_n agree_v with_o that_o by_o they_o hold_v forth_o and_o then_o five_o by_o this_o i_o suppose_v our_o brethren_n of_o scotland_n that_o cry_v up_o the_o covenant_n as_o a_o thing_n not_o in_o any_o human_a power_n to_o dissolve_v will_v be_v satisfy_v since_o sectary_n by_o they_o so_o speak_v against_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n suppress_v yet_o be_v that_o which_o they_o call_v through_o ignorance_n heresy_n the_o true_a way_n of_o worship_v the_o god_n of_o our_o father_n but_o i_o wish_v they_o have_v alike_o perform_v the_o covenant_n with_o we_o the_o letter_n of_o which_o be_v either_o conditional_a in_o

which_o be_v not_o in_o his_o lawful_a power_n to_o do_v namely_o rash_o to_o mix_v sacred_a thing_n with_o profane_a must_v needs_o be_v in_o his_o power_n upon_o more_o serious_a thought_n to_o undo_v neither_o be_v there_o any_o condition_n to_o make_v this_o covenant_n perpetual_a as_o i_o read_v in_o the_o fame_n but_o sure_o scotland_n will_v no_o through_o their_o sense_n of_o the_o
