hear_v these_o dismal_a news_n of_o that_o most_o barbarous_a rebellion_n in_o ireland_n with_o what_o zeal_n he_o set_v about_o the_o send_v relief_n to_o they_o may_v appear_v from_o the_o follow_a

therefore_o he_o require_v they_o to_o haste_v the_o send_n over_o their_o force_n assure_v they_o that_o if_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n do_v not_o punctual_o pay_v they_o he_o will_v engage_v

in_o a_o message_n which_o though_o it_o be_v never_o send_v yet_o remain_v under_o his_o hand_n he_o write_v these_o word_n and_o now_o he_o conjure_v his_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n as_o they_o be_v englishman_n christian_n and_o lover_n of_o peace_n by_o the_o duty_n they_o owe_v their_o king_n and_o by_o the_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n they_o have_v towards_o their_o

it_o next_o let_v i_o lay_v before_o you_o his_o repentance_n express_v by_o himself_o in_o a_o letter_n anno_fw-la 1642._o one_o thing_n more_o which_o but_o for_o the_o messenger_n be_v too_o much_o to_o trust_v to_o paper_n the_o fail_v to_o one_o friend_n have_v indeed_o go_v very_o near_o i_o wherefore_o i_o be_o resolve_v that_o no_o consideration_n whatsoever_o shall_v ever_o make_v i_o do_v the_o like_a upon_o this_o ground_n i_o be_o certain_a that_o god_n have_v either_o so_o total_o forgive_v i_o that_o he_o will_v still_o bless_v this_o good_a cause_n in_o my_o hand_n or_o that_o all_o my_o punishment_n shall_v be_v in_o this_o world_n which_o without_o perform_v what_o i_o have_v resolve_v i_o can_v flatter_v myself_o will_v end_v here_o and_o he_o end_v that_o letter_n thus_o beside_o generosity_n to_o which_o i_o pretend_v a_o little_a my_o conscience_n will_v make_v i_o stick_v to_o my_o friend_n how_o deep_o his_o sense_n of_o that_o sin_n how_o great_a his_o apprehension_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o how_o true_a his_o notion_n of_o repentance_n be_v can_v but_o easy_o appear_v upon_o the_o first_o hear_v these_o word_n but_o for_o this_o one_o advantage_n the_o king_n in_o my_o text_n have_v of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o day_n we_o shall_v find_v many_o great_a and_o noble_a character_n in_o which_o he_o excel_v he_o and_o first_o saul_n pretend_v some_o zeal_n for_o god_n he_o build_v a_o altar_n for_o he_o he_o honour_v samuel_n his_o prophet_n he_o go_v and_o destroy_v the_o amalekite_n but_o when_o it_o may_v serve_v his_o turn_n he_o do_v not_o stick_v to_o disobey_v god_n he_o save_v agag_n and_o much_o of_o the_o spoil_n of_o the_o amalekite_n pretend_v it_o be_v preserve_v for_o offer_v sacrifice_n he_o have_v not_o patience_n to_o stay_v for_o samuel_n but_o do_v sacrilegious_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n himself_o but_o our_o martyr_n do_v not_o only_o express_v great_a regard_n to_o god_n in_o his_o prosperity_n by_o many_o high_a mark_n of_o his_o zeal_n and_o constant_a attendance_n on_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n his_o great_a esteem_n of_o all_o worthy_a and_o deserve_a churchman_n and_o his_o royal_a

himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o maintain_v therefore_o it_o be_v that_o he_o do_v choose_v to_o bear_v the_o great_a danger_n rather_o than_o sin_n against_o his_o conscience_n when_o the_o violence_n of_o his_o native_a subject_n against_o the_o order_n of_o bishop_n have_v bring_v thing_n to_o that_o pass_n that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v maintain_v without_o much_o blood_n and_o confusion_n he_o judge_v that_o god_n love_v mercy_n better_a than_o sacrifice_n do_v give_v way_n to_o their_o fury_n but_o with_o that_o tender_a care_n that_o become_v a_o man_n of_o so_o severe_a and_o exact_a a_o conscience_n and_o this_o shall_v appear_v by_o some_o evidence_n i_o go_v to_o mention_v have_v sign_v a_o paper_n of_o concession_n wherein_o he_o have_v use_v the_o word_n it_o
