your_o own_o way_n and_o be_v fill_v with_o your_o own_o device_n that_o do_v so_o but_o who_o hearken_v unto_o the_o lord_n shall_v dwell_v safe_o and_o be_v quiet_a from_o fear_n of_o evil_a prov._n 1.25_o and_o so_o on_o therefore_o be_v instruct_v you_o ruler_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o take_v counsel_n of_o the_o great_a lawgiver_n christ_n jesus_n who_o say_v as_o you_o will_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v do_v unto_o you_o so_o do_v you_o unto_o they_o for_o this_o be_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o remember_v the_o parable_n that_o christ_n speak_v a_o certain_a king_n which_o will_v take_v account_n of_o his_o servant_n &_o when_o he_o begin_v to_o reckon_v there_o be_v one_o bring_v before_o he_o that_o owe_v he_o ten_o thousand_o talent_n &_o have_v nothing_o to_o pay_v withal_o but_o his_o servant_n humble_v himself_o etc._n etc._n and_o his_o lord_n frank_o forgive_v he_o the_o debt_n but_o he_o not_o do_v so_o by_o his_o fellow-servant_n what_o do_v befall_v he_o and_o do_v not_o christ_n teach_v his_o to_o pray_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass●s_n as_o we_o forgive_v they_o that_o trespass_n against_o we_o now_o if_o you_o can_v forgive_v they_o that_o trespass_n against_o you_o how_o can_v you_o expect_v to_o be_v forgive_v of_o god_n and_o if_o man_n ought_v to_o forgive_v they_o that_o trespass_n against_o they_o then_o sure_a they_o ought_v not_o to_o persecute_v such_o as_o never_o trespass_v against_o they_o i_o will_v ask_v you_o one_o question_n wherein_o have_v we_o give_v occasion_n to_o be_v thus_o deal_v with_o what_o plot_n or_o evil_a contrivance_n against_o the_o king_n or_o government_n have_v we_o be_v find_v in_o since_o god_n raise_v we_o up_o to_o be_v a_o people_n or_o what_o have_v you_o against_o we_o except_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o god_n now_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v we_o do_v not_o obey_v the_o law_n i_o then_o again_o query_n what_o wholesome_a law_n be_v there_o that_o we_o disobey_v but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o law_n that_o will_v limit_v in_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n who_o alone_o in_o that_o case_n be_v the_o lawgiver_n to_o his_o people_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v subject_v unto_o than_o i_o query_n what_o power_n have_v you_o to_o make_v a_o law_n to_o bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o god_n people_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n more_o than_o queen_n mary_n and_o her_o parliament_n have_v by_o which_o so_o many_o protestant_n be_v put_v to_o death_n which_o you_o condemn_v as_o evil_a in_o t●em_n for_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o conscience_n according_a unto_o what_o god_n in_o their_o day_n make_v manifest_a unto_o they_o be_v not_o she_o call_v a_o christian_a princess_n and_o lawful_o descend_v to_o the_o crown_n &_o c_o but_o if_o you_o say_v they_o be_v persecute_v because_o they_o bear_v testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n but_o you_o because_o you_o be_v in_o error_n etc._n etc._n how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o can_v not_o the_o minister_n of_o those_o law_n say_v as_o much_o to_o the_o sufferer_n as_o you_o do_v unto_o we_o be_v you_o guide_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n in_o what_o you_o do_v nay_o sure_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n never_o lead_v any_o to_o such_o thing_n but_o if_o any_o be_v in_o error_n they_o be_v to_o be_v reprove_v and_o admonish_v and_o after_o the_o second_o admonish_v reject_v not_o cast_v into_o prison_n or_o spoil_v of_o their_o good_n and_o the_o like_a but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o may_v say_v they_o have_v not_o power_n be_v not_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n give_v unto_o christ_n and_o where_o do_v he_o give_v his_o church_n as_o you_o will_v be_v reckon_v power_n to_o do_v so_o and_o therefore_o you_o that_o be_v call_v lord-bishop_n and_o minister_n and_o spiritual_a man_n ought_v not_o you_o rather_o if_o man_n be_v in_o error_n to_o convince_v they_o by_o the_o truth_n and_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o gainsayers_a by_o sound_a doctrine_n then_o to_o stir_v up_o king_n and_o parliament_n to_o make_v law_n to_o take_v honest_a man_n and_o woman_n estate_n from_o they_o imprison_v and_o banish_v they_o for_o their_o conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o because_o they_o can_v put_v into_o your_o mouth_n and_o also_o to_o press_v the_o minister_n of_o those_o law_n to_o put_v they_o into_o execution_n do_v ever_o peter_n john_n paul_n or_o any_o of_o those_o bishop_n and_o gospel-minister_n do_v so_o be_v this_o like_a truth_n or_o gospel_n dispensation_n nay_o sure_a therefore_o away_o with_o it_o all_o you_o that_o profess_v christianity_n of_o all_o sort_n whether_o papist_n episcopal_a man_n presbyterian_a or_o what_o soever_o and_o learn_v to_o do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v by_o and_o the_o same_o liberty_n you_o will_v have_v yourselves_o the_o same_o give_v unto_o other_o in_o exercise_n of_o religion_n they_o live_v peaceable_a not_o seek_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o government_n nor_o the_o hurt_a of_o any_o and_o this_o will_v heal_v the_o nation_n breach_n and_o make_v it_o as_o a_o body_n or_o family_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v seek_v the_o good_a &_o preservation_n one_o of_o another_o both_o in_o liberty_n and_o estate_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o persecute_v kill_v and_o destroy_v one_o another_o about_o religion_n never_o be_v of_o god_n but_o spring_v from_o the_o devil_n the_o father_n of_o all_o cruelty_n and_o persecution_n for_o truth_n hurt_v none_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o may_v say_v this_o be_v not_o cruelty_n but_o a_o law_n that_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o nation_n so_o may_v all_o say_v that_o make_v law_n in_o such_o case_n but_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o any_o law_n or_o custom_n of_o a_o nation_n whatsoever_o that_o can_v justify_v any_o man_n before_o the_o just_a and_o equal_a god_n in_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v unjust_a and_o whatever_o be_v contrary_a to_o christ_n command_n who_o say_v as_o you_o will_v all_o man_n shall_v do_v unto_o you_o so_o do_v you_o unto_o they_o be_v unjust_a and_o to_o be_v account_v for_o unto_o the_o great_a lawgiver_n christ_n jesus_n therefore_o do_v not_o smooth_a and_o flatter_v yourselves_o in_o say_v we_o have_v a_o law_n and_o the_o like_a for_o the_o same_o do_v they_o say_v that_o be_v go_v before_o you_o who_o be_v find_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o so_o justify_v the_o wicked_a and_o condemn_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o righteous_a in_o all_o age_n but_o he_o that_o justifi_v the_o wicked_a and_o he_o that_o condemn_v the_o just_a even_o they_o be_v both_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n prov._n 17.15_o it_o be_v your_o good_a we_o desire_v and_o many_o time_n it_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n bow_v down_o before_o the_o lord_n both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o pray_v unto_o he_o in_o your_o behalf_n that_o he_o will_v change_v your_o heart_n and_o cause_v you_o to_o be_v otherwise_o mind_v
