you_o declare_v the_o parliament_n ordinance_n good_a law_n and_o so_o conduce_v one_o estate_n and_o take_v away_o the_o thing_n king_n which_o name_n the_o ancient_a roman_n can_v not_o endure_v for_o the_o space_n of_o 400._o year_n and_o it_o will_v be_v find_v no_o small_a let_v to_o the_o settlement_n of_o our_o peace_n for_o it_o must_v be_v time_n that_o must_v produce_v security_n

of_o either_o long_a than_o necessity_n enforce_v be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o people_n freedom_n and_o now_o the_o soldiery_n have_v contract_v much_o of_o the_o business_n of_o the_o kingdom_n upon_o their_o shoulder_n you_o will_v be_v put_v upon_o the_o exercise_n of_o reason_n you_o have_v already_o show_v your_o strength_n and_o valour_n in_o subdue_a the_o force_n that_o have_v

man_n in_o reason_n i_o beseech_v you_o sir_n look_v back_o to_o the_o first_o engagement_n of_o the_o parliament_n with_o due_a consideration_n and_o endeavour_v what_o you_o may_v to_o procure_v the_o performance_n thereof_o at_o the_o first_o raise_v a_o army_n the_o parliament_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v for_o the_o desence_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n the_o king_n person_n the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n the_o people_n just_a right_n and_o freedom_n these_o thing_n be_v spacious_a and_o be_v never_o state_v and_o publish_v what_o be_v mean_v hereby_o some_o understand_v the_o protestant_a religion_n to_o be_v the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n for_o worship_n the_o episcopacy_n for_o discipline_n and_o the_o thirty_o nine_o article_n for_o doctrine_n but_o it_o religion_n be_v take_v in_o such_o form_n then_o be_v it_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n alter_v by_o the_o synod_n in_o part_n with_o the_o parliament_n approbation_n impose_v the_o directory_n for_o worship_n the_o presbytery_n for_o discipline_n and_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n which_o they_o have_v publish_v for_o doctrine_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o resorm_v have_v introduce_v schism_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o we_o be_v very_o zealous_a for_o the_o promote_a of_o religion_n and_o i_o hope_v still_o be_v but_o i_o fear_v we_o do_v not_o right_o understand_v what_o religion_n be_v certain_o religion_n in_o the_o most_o general_a acceptation_n be_v that_o profession_n of_o worship_n discipline_n and_o doctrine_n which_o a_o people_n hold_v forth_o to_o the_o world_n in_o the_o former_a sense_n it_o be_v most_o probable_a that_o which_o we_o call_v religion_n be_v understand_v and_o that_o which_o be_v then_o intend_v by_o the_o general_a party_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v a_o reformation_n of_o what_o may_v appear_v corrupt_a and_o to_o free_v the_o people_n from_o those_o burden_n in_o ceremony_n impose_v which_o many_o tender_a conscience_n can_v not_o bear_v but_o now_o that_o which_o we_o call_v religion_n appear_v to_o i_o only_o a_o traditional_a formal_a profession_n and_o be_v make_v use_n of_o only_a to_o gain_v party_n and_o faction_n under_o the_o specious_a pretence_n of_o religion_n thereby_o to_o gain_v power_n to_o rise_v in_o dignity_n for_o profit_n and_o honour_n among_o man_n this_o be_v the_o religion_n of_o rome_n as_o at_o this_o day_n pure_a state_n policy_n in_o which_o be_v comprehend_v the_o depth_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n such_o be_v the_o religion_n of_o the_o turk_n and_o many_o other_o nation_n a_o mere_a empty_a form_n in_o which_o nothing_o of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v and_o what_o be_v this_o alteration_n of_o church_n government_n worship_n and_o doctrine_n which_o some_o man_n so_o furious_o pursue_v but_o the_o clothing_n of_o antichrist_n with_o a_o new_a coat_n change_v out_o of_o one_o form_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n into_o another_o but_o it_o you_o serious_o consider_v you_o may_v understand_v that_o religion_n be_v not_o a_o name_n but_o a_o thing_n not_o a_o form_n but_o a_o power_n not_o a_o notion_n but_o a_o substance_n divine_a religion_n consist_v in_o faith_n and_o work_n of_o righteousness_n religion_n be_v proper_o that_o inward_a power_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n whereby_o be_v believe_v and_o be_v bind_v to_o god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n the_o demonstration_n thereof_o manite_a in_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o mercy_n visit_v the_o fatherless_a and_o the_o widow_n and_o keep_v unspotted_a from_o the_o world_n so_o much_o of_o this_o power_n a_o man_n have_v so_o much_o religion_n where_o there_o be_v none_o of_o this_o power_n there_o be_v no_o religion_n to_o as_o many_o as_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o they_o give_v he_o power_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o sir_n if_o there_o be_v a_o defend_n of_o the_o protestant_a profession_n let_v man_n take_v it_o in_o what_o form_n they_o understand_v i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v the_o best_a and_o safe_a make_v good_a this_o engagement_n religion_n be_v not_o propagate_v by_o any_o humane_a power_n the_o civil_a magistrate_n may_v protect_v christian_n in_o religious_a exercise_n but_o to_o compel_v a_o external_a uniformity_n by_o a_o coersive_a power_n see_v there_o be_v no_o pretend_a infallibility_n will_v be_v preposterous_a and_o more_o antichristian_a then_o be_v the_o pope_n himself_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v spiritual_a and_o propagate_v only_o by_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o word_n without_o the_o help_n of_o humane_a force_n if_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n exercise_v impartial_a justice_n and_o tolerate_v religious_a exercise_n it_o will_v be_v as_o much_o as_o christian_n will_v desire_v as_o for_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n which_o we_o be_v engage_v to_o defend_v i_o think_v there_o be_v very_o few_o understand_v what_o they_o be_v in_o general_a we_o defend_v the_o law_n if_o we_o act_v according_a to_o the_o supreme_a end_n thereof_o which_o be_v to_o save_v the_o people_n and_o preserve_v propriety_n and_o dispense_v impartial_a justice_n and_o let_v the_o law_n have_v its_o course_n in_o court_n till_o there_o be_v a_o just_a alteration_n but_o if_o any_o thing_n appear_v contrary_a to_o these_o end_n by_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lawmaker_n it_o can_v be_v no_o breach_n of_o this_o engagement_n to_o alter_v the_o same_o the_o three_o particular_a be_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o king_n person_n and_o the_o voice_n go_v for_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n but_o it_o seem_v a_o strange_a partadox_n to_o many_o how_o we_o shall_v fight_v for_o the_o king_n fight_v against_o his_o personal_a command_n accompany_v with_o his_o person_n the_o best_a construction_n i_o can_v make_v thereof_o be_v the_o rescue_v he_o from_o his_o evil_a council_n that_o lead_v he_o to_o the_o ruine_v himself_o and_o the_o nation_n and_o we_o ever_o make_v he_o mere_o passive_a seduce_v by_o evil_a council_n but_o it_o appear_v that_o his_o follower_n rather_o act_v his_o council_n than_o he_o they_o but_o see_v he_o be_v still_o in_o safety_n it_o can_v be_v no_o breach_n of_o this_o engagement_n if_o his_o person_n be_v keep_v from_o destruction_n the_o next_o particular_a be_v the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o it_o be_v very_o good_a the_o people_n know_v what_o they_o be_v unlimited_a privilidge_n may_v prove_v as_o destructive_a as_o unbounded_a prerogative_n it_o be_v reason_n they_o shall_v be_v clear_v and_o declare_v that_o future_a parliament_n may_v be_v prescribe_v likewise_o for_o their_o sit_v and_o end_v that_o they_o may_v not_o wrong_a posterity_n and_o when_o they_o be_v right_o state_v according_a to_o reason_n no_o question_n but_o we_o shall_v make_v good_a this_o engagement_n so_o far_o as_o may_v stand_v with_o the_o people_n freedom_n the_o fist_n thing_n call_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n which_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o can_v stand_v in_o competition_n which_o the_o prince_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v secure_v from_o
