A88579	A cleare and necessary vindication of the principles and practices of me Christopher Love, since my tryall before, and condemnation by, the High Court of Iustice. Whereby it is manifested, that a close prison, a long sword, a High Court, and a bloody scaffold, have not in the least altered my judgment. Whereas also the cruelty of the sentence, the insufficiency of the proofs, and my own innocency, are demonstrated. As also my grounds and reasons of giving in a narrative, and the lawfulness of the matter and titles of my petitions (though to usurpers) manifested and maintained. Together with a declaration of my judgement concerning Cromwells unlawfull invasion of the kingdom of Scotland. Written by me Christopher Love, Master of Arts, minister of Lawrence Iury, London; penned by me the eighth of August, fourteen days before my death.	Love, Christopher, 1618-1651.	1651 (1651)	Wing L3148; Thomason E790_5; ESTC R202748	58,288	49

confess_v it_o i_o have_v do_v those_o thing_n contrary_a to_o their_o late_a act_n which_o be_v punishable_a with_o death_n by_o their_o cruel_a law_n so_o that_o if_o the_o reader_n mark_v my_o

chief_o these_o three_o first_o that_o the_o law_n or_o law_n which_o be_v proceed_v by_o be_v for_o the_o matter_n and_o substance_n of_o they_o consonant_a and_o agreeable_a at_o least_o unto_o

never_o shall_v acknowledge_v but_o than_o second_o a_o sentence_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a in_o a_o respective_a or_o relative_a consideration_n that_o be_v as_o it_o have_v reference_n to_o and_o respect_v those_o law_n which_o be_v the_o rise_n and_o foundation_n of_o it_o now_o though_o a_o sentence_n shall_v miss_v it_o in_o the_o two_o first_o respect_n of_o a_o sentence_n absolute_o just_a that_o be_v though_o the_o law_n proceed_v by_o shall_v be_v vicious_a for_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o and_o the_o minister_n of_o they_o usurper_n that_o have_v no_o right_a nor_o title_n to_o the_o exercise_n either_o of_o those_o or_o any_o other_o law_n yet_o if_o their_o proceed_n be_v such_o as_o that_o the_o sentence_n be_v lay_v to_o the_o line_n and_o weigh_v in_o the_o

those_o law_n or_o any_o other_o clause_n or_o clause_n of_o they_o in_o this_o sense_n and_o so_o far_o the_o sentence_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a just_o not_o simple_o and_o absolute_o but_o only_o in_o reference_n and_o relation_n to_o those_o law_n and_o when_o i_o acknowledge_v the_o sentence_n to_o be_v just_a i_o understand_v it_o in_o this_o sense_n viz._n according_a to_o their_o rigid_a and_o force_a inference_n from_o their_o unjust_a and_o cruel_a law_n object_n if_o it_o be_v demand_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o i_o refuse_v former_o to_o mention_v a_o word_n about_o
