to_o thou_o oliver_n cromwell_n into_o who_o hand_n god_n have_v commit_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n that_o under_o thou_o all_o may_v be_v godly_a and_o quiet_o govern_v a_o terror_n to_o the_o

that_o be_v in_o authority_n that_o you_o may_v more_o set_v up_o god_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o conscience_n and_o give_v liberty_n to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o all_o conscience_n that_o his_o people_n may_v serve_v he_o without_o force_n or_o fear_v free_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v bless_v you_o and_o establish_v you_o and_o you_o may_v be_v so_o far_o honour_v as_o to_o perform_v what_o in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o trouble_n you_o do_v then_o promise_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o his_o people_n shall_v have_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n to_o you_o all_o i_o be_o move_v of_o the_o lord_n to_o write_v as_o follow_v it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o the_o great_a concernment_n to_o every_o man_n conscience_n that_o love_v christ_n not_o to_o uphold_v any_o ministry_n under_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o which_o be_v not_o send_v by_o christ_n therefore_o take_v heed_n as_o you_o tender_v a_o pure_a conscience_n to_o give_v liberty_n herein_o that_o there_o be_v no_o force_v to_o uphold_v any_o one_o soul_n that_o say_v they_o be_v minister_n but_o that_o every_o one_o herein_o make_v proof_n of_o his_o ministry_n and_o so_o shall_v every_o man_n reward_n be_v as_o his_o work_n and_o you_o magistrate_n shall_v not_o need_v to_o meddle_v in_o this_o thing_n see_v god_n never_o require_v it_o at_o your_o hand_n to_o force_v a_o maintenance_n neither_o under_o law_n nor_o gospel_n but_o if_o any_o say_v this_o will_v open_v a_o gap_n to_o all_o sin_n and_o make_v man_n heathen_n i_o answer_v it_o will_v be_v the_o only_a

the_o execution_n of_o that_o first_o law_n for_o who_o have_v not_o a_o principle_n of_o god_n to_o guide_v to_o his_o worship_n without_o constraint_n can_v never_o execute_v any_o just_a law_n for_o god_n but_o for_o self_n end_v and_o so_o you_o shall_v choose_v man_n fear_v god_n to_o bear_v the_o sword_n of_o god_n and_o till_o then_o make_v what_o law_n you_o will_v to_o preserve_v

be_v manifest_a in_o the_o nation_n and_o have_v be_v for_o many_o year_n and_o such_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v heathen_a will_v be_v ashamed_a and_o be_v convince_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n

i_o answer_v it_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o manifest_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o minister_n of_o antichrist_n and_o it_o will_v root_v out_o none_o but_o such_o who_o care_n be_v

many_o of_o they_o have_v take_v wage_n these_o forty_o or_o fifty_o year_n but_o yet_o no_o work_n do_v nor_o any_o bring_v out_o of_o sin_n and_o these_o cry_v the_o workman_n be_v worthy_a of_o his_o wage_n and_o call_v for_o wage_n from_o such_o as_o for_o who_o they_o do_v no_o work_n but_o these_o be_v none_o of_o christ_n workman_n who_o seek_v for_o their_o wage_n from_o the_o world_n for_o his_o he_o send_v free_o into_o the_o world_n who_o never_o ask_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n but_o first_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n then_o eat_v the_o fruit_n of_o it_o first_o sow_v in_o

gospel_n and_o not_o of_o the_o world_n and_o i_o demand_v of_o any_o one_o who_o own_v the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v a_o force_a maintenance_n either_o under_o the_o law_n or_o gospel_n but_o they_o be_v free_o to_o bring_v it_o but_o who_o be_v thou_o that_o say_v the_o time_n be_v not_o so_o now_o thou_o i_o deny_v and_o thy_o ministry_n which_o follow_v the_o time_n and_o not_o christ_n nor_o the_o saint_n practise_v in_o scripture_n stop_v thy_o mouth_n for_o ever_o be_v count_v a_o minister_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v not_o content_a with_o his_o allowance_n as_o his_o have_v always_o be_v for_o god_n be_v not_o charge_v nor_o his_o worship_n nor_o worshipper_n but_o if_o you_o say_v this_o will_v soon_o bring_v the_o minister_n to_o be_v poor_a i_o say_v you_o know_v not_o god_n
