to_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n fairfax_n and_o his_o council_n of_o war_n the_o humble_a address_n of_o henry_n hammond_n london_n print_v for_o richard_n royston_n in_o ivy-lane_n 1649._o my_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n have_v by_o the_o weekly_a occurrence_n of_o your_o proceed_n not_o only_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o weighty_a matter_n which_o you_o have_v of_o late_o choose_v to_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o your_o debate_n such_o as_o never_o any_o council_n in_o this_o kingdom_n be_v know_v to_o have_v take_v into_o their_o cognizance_n or_o consideration_n but_o withal_o discern_v the_o cheerful_a and_o hospitable_a reception_n of_o one_o mean_a person_n advice_n which_o pretend_v to_o have_v receive_v some_o counsel_n from_o god_n to_o communicate_v to_o you_o and_o have_v also_o as_o sincere_a a_o desire_n and_o zeal_n to_o your_o good_a testify_v by_o my_o daily_a prayer_n to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v incline_v your_o heart_n to_o thought_n of_o true_a christian_a meekness_n and_o charity_n and_o consequent_o as_o deep_a a_o interest_n in_o the_o due_a management_n of_o your_o affair_n as_o any_o other_o and_o as_o great_a a_o assurance_n that_o what_o i_o shall_v say_v to_o you_o proceed_v from_o a_o peaceable_a and_o a_o humble_a spirit_n and_o which_o tend_v more_o immediate_o to_o your_o welfare_n and_o honour_n both_o before_o god_n and_o man_n than_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v know_v of_o late_a to_o have_v be_v represent_v to_o you_o and_o last_o have_v among_o you_o some_o of_o the_o near_a of_o my_o blood_n who_o eternal_a weal_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o dear_a and_o precious_a to_o i_o i_o be_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o prosecution_n and_o discharge_n of_o my_o duty_n and_o conscience_n desirous_a to_o make_v this_o short_a address_n to_o you_o to_o desire_v you_o in_o the_o name_n and_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o all_o the_o obligation_n of_o christian_a duty_n and_o charity_n to_o review_v some_o of_o the_o principle_n by_o which_o you_o seem_v to_o be_v act_v and_o whereon_o to_o ground_v the_o high_a enterprise_n which_o you_o have_v now_o in_o hand_n and_o 1._o whereas_o you_o seem_v to_o believe_v that_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n have_v put_v it_o into_o your_o heart_n to_o do_v what_o hitherto_o you_o have_v do_v and_o what_o now_o you_o profess_v to_o deliberate_v to_o do_v further_o against_o his_o majesty_n and_o all_o other_o who_o be_v now_o fall_v into_o your_o hand_n i_o beseech_v you_o to_o consider_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o that_o god_n to_o who_o direction_n and_o spirit_n you_o pretend_v what_o safe_a ground_n you_o have_v for_o so_o do_v for_o i_o shall_v suppose_v that_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n be_v not_o that_o voice_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v your_o only_a guide_n in_o this_o matter_n or_o if_o it_o be_v i_o desire_v that_o charity_n from_o you_o for_o myself_o and_o other_o that_o you_o will_v point_v we_o out_o those_o scripture_n and_o i_o must_v profess_v to_o believe_v you_o bind_v in_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o to_o yourselves_o to_o satisfy_v this_o desire_n to_o produce_v that_o voice_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o receive_a scripture_n of_o god_n which_o may_v say_v that_o to_o other_o christian_n also_o which_o it_o appear_v to_o do_v to_o you_o but_o if_o god_n spirit_n be_v by_o you_o conceive_v to_o have_v speak_v to_o you_o any_o other_o way_n than_o in_o or_o by_o some_o part_n of_o the_o write_a word_n then_o my_o second_o request_n be_v that_o you_o will_v declare_v to_o other_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o your_o persuasion_n that_o you_o have_v receive_v any_o such_o revelation_n from_o god_n that_o so_o that_o pretend_a spirit_n may_n according_a to_o the_o rule_v prescribe_v by_o god_n in_o his_o acknowledge_a word_n be_v try_v and_o examine_v regular_o whether_o it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o no_o before_o the_o subject-matter_n of_o such_o revelation_n be_v believe_v infallible_a or_o according_o build_v upon_o by_o you_o as_o your_o warrant_n or_o principle_n of_o act_v any_o thing_n for_o there_o be_v evil_a spirit_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o which_o many_o time_n be_v by_o god_n permit_v to_o seduce_v man_n and_o that_o they_o may_v do_v so_o the_o better_a they_o constant_o pretend_v to_o come_v from_o god_n and_o assume_v divine_a authority_n to_o recommend_v and_o authorise_v their_o delusion_n a_o thing_n so_o ordinary_a in_o all_o age_n that_o the_o poet_n that_o will_v express_v the_o embroil_n of_o a_o kingdom_n think_v he_o can_v do_v it_o better_o then_o by_o bring_v in_o allecto_n a_o fury_n with_o a_o message_n from_o heaven_n to_o avenge_v such_o or_o such_o a_o injury_n and_o of_o these_o our_o saviour_n forewarn_v we_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v know_v they_o by_o their_o fruit_n and_o so_o direct_v we_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o pretension_n by_o the_o goodness_n and_o commendableness_n at_o least_o justifiableness_n of_o their_o action_n and_o not_o to_o judge_v of_o their_o action_n by_o their_o pretence_n and_o beside_o these_o evil_a spirit_n from_o without_o there_o be_v also_o a_o evil_a spirit_n within_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o disguise_a wickedness_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n which_o when_o it_o remain_v unmortified_a in_o those_o who_o believe_v themselves_o to_o be_v god_n choose_a saint_n and_o teach_v by_o he_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o be_v mistake_v for_o a_o inclination_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o a_o flame_n of_o zeal_n when_o it_o be_v real_o the_o most_o contrary_a to_o it_o and_o because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o danger_n that_o what_o be_v not_o fetch_v from_o the_o acknowledge_a word_n of_o god_n may_v thus_o flow_v from_o one_o of_o these_o contrary_a principle_n my_o next_o request_n be_v that_o it_o be_v consider_v whether_o when_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n in_o case_n he_o shall_v teach_v any_o other_o doctrine_n than_o what_o have_v be_v by_o saint_n paul_n preach_v to_o his_o galathian_n were-to_o be_v anathematise_v and_o when_o the_o judgement_n be_v so_o fearful_a which_o be_v pronounce_v against_o they_o which_o shall_v add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o that_o prophecy_n which_o we_o now_o retain_v under_o the_o title_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n or_o revelation_n which_o be_v the_o last_o write_v which_o be_v know_v to_o be_v dictate_v by_o the_o spirit_n may_v very_o probable_o contain_v a_o severe_a denunciation_n against_o all_o those_o who_o pretend_v to_o any_o revelation_n or_o prophecy_n after_o that_o concerning_o the_o christian_a church_n whether_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o fear_n and_o just_a apprehension_n to_o all_o those_o who_o shall_v affix_v or_o impose_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o pretend_v to_o be_v reveal_v to_o they_o from_o that_o any_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n which_o acknowledge_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n for_o its_o only_a warrant_n or_o foundation_n or_o last_o if_o from_o the_o scripture_n you_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v prove_v that_o any_o part_n of_o the_o unction_n mention_v there_o so_o far_o belong_v to_o you_o that_o it_o shall_v sure_o lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n then_o first_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o consider_v whether_o you_o do_v not_o oblige_v yourselves_o by_o the_o same_o or_o some_o other_o scripture_n to_o prove_v to_o other_o and_o not_o only_o yourselves_o to_o be_v persuade_v that_o you_o be_v those_o special_a saint_n of_o god_n to_o who_o that_o privilege_n peculiar_o belong_v and_o as_o clear_o to_o demonstrate_v that_o all_o other_o who_o conceive_v that_o that_o unction_n teach_v they_o direct_o the_o contrary_a to_o that_o which_o you_o profess_v to_o be_v teach_v by_o it_o be_v impious_a person_n possess_v with_o that_o delude_a spirit_n which_o i_o now_o desire_v you_o to_o beware_v of_o and_o second_o to_o examine_v whether_o this_o difference_n of_o yourselves_o from_o other_o this_o bear_a witness_n to_o yourselves_o and_o judge_v other_o beside_o that_o it_o will_v look_v like_o a_o act_n of_o most_o pharisaical_a presumption_n and_o the_o very_a thing_n which_o from_o simon_n magus_n downward_o have_v be_v observe_v in_o all_o heretic_n call_v themselves_o the_o spiritual_a and_o all_o other_o animal_n carnal_a man_n will_v not_o be_v also_o a_o great_a injustice_n at_o this_o time_n towards_o they_o who_o pretend_v not_o to_o learn_v any_o thing_n from_o this_o unction_n but_o what_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o those_o book_n which_o have_v in_o effect_n and_o in_o the_o last_o result_n the_o testimony_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n that_o they_o be_v his_o true_a infallible_a word_n and_o dictate_v of_o his_o spirit_n and_o which_o desire_v to_o
