among_o people_n or_o to_o exhort_v they_o unto_o good_a and_o to_o follow_v christ_n and_o to_o deny_v the_o wickedness_n of_o this_o world_n or_o such_o like_a as_o they_o be_v move_v some_o be_v

contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o this_o practice_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o reprove_v evil_a and_o exhort_v to_o good_a be_v call_v a_o disturbance_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o a_o unlawful_a practice_n and_o such_o like_a it_o be_v false_o judge_v by_o unjust_a man_n who_o know_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o the_o move_n thereof_o and_o because_o of_o this_o many_o innocent_a man_n be_v cause_v deep_o to_o suffer_v contrary_a to_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o some_o be_v send_v to_o the_o house_n

it_o do_v and_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o conscience_n to_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v so_o and_o they_o can_v leave_v it_o undo_v lest_o they_o shall_v transgress_v the_o law_n

out_o of_o every_o false_a way_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a end_n of_o their_o work_n and_o their_o intent_n in_o do_v it_o and_o they_o ought_v not_o in_o justice_n to_o suffer_v for_o it_o for_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o in_o reason_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o the_o lord_n justify_v they_o in_o it_o than_o that_o law_n and_o judgement_n must_v needs_o be_v corrupt_a and_o unjust_a which_o condemn_v the_o people_n and_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o for_o evil_a doer_n for_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o

the_o excercise_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v unjust_o judge_v a_o transgression_n and_o this_o be_v a_o shame_n and_o will_v be_v great_a condemnation_n to_o such_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o who_o authority_n this_o be_v do_v even_o that_o the_o excercise_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n even_o reprove_v of_o sin_n and_o exhort_v unto_o that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o follow_v that_o and_o to_o forsake_v all_o evil_a shall_v be_v judge_v and_o punish_v as_o a_o heinous_a transgression_n in_o a_o nation_n and_o commonwealth_n profess_v christianity_n and_o pure_a religion_n and_o this_o make_v the_o sin_n much_o more_o great_a and_o unpardonable_a because_o the_o practice_n and_o faithful_a excercise_n in_o christianity_n and_o in_o the_o pure_a and_o true_a religion_n

and_o to_o forsake_v evil_a and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v prosecute_v and_o punish_v but_o defend_v and_o maintain_v by_o the_o just_a government_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o by_o

their_o way_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o that_o evil_a doer_n and_o sinner_n and_o transgressor_n be_v condemn_v and_o righteous_o judge_v also_o many_o of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v deep_o suffer_v and_o be_v deep_o afflict_v by_o injustice_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n in_o other_o thing_n as_o because_o they_o can_v put_v off_o their_o hat_n and_o

but_o as_o i_o say_v this_o be_v not_o do_v as_o a_o matter_n of_o wrong_n unto_o any_o though_o the_o hat_n be_v not_o bow_v or_o put_v off_o but_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o conscience_n unto_o

then_o to_o offend_v the_o lord_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n neither_o be_v there_o good_a reason_n or_o equity_n in_o it_o nor_o any_o part_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o people_n by_o
