as_o this_o day_n be_v in_o controversy_n and_o also_o that_o you_o by_o your_o authority_n which_o you_o have_v of_o god_n compel_v such_o as_o of_o long_a time_n have_v blind_v and_o deceive_v both_o yourselves_o and_o the_o people_n doubt_n to_o answer_v to_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n but_o lest_o that_o some_o doubt_n remain_v that_o i_o require_v more_o of_o you_o than_o you_o of_o conscience_n be_v bind_v to_o grant_v in_o few_o word_n i_o hope_v to_o prove_v my_o petition_n to_o be_v such_o as_o without_o god_n heavy_a displeasure_n you_o can_v not_o deny_v knox_n my_o petition_n be_v that_o you_o who_o god_n have_v appoint_v head_n in_o your_o common_a wealth_n with_o single_a eye_n do_v study_v to_o promote_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o

god_n universal_o give_v to_o all_o man_n and_o the_o example_n of_o most_o godly_a prince_n bind_v and_o oblish_v you_o my_o purpose_n be_v not_o great_o to_o labour_v to_o prove_v that_o your_o hole_n study_v oght_v to_o be_v to_o promote_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n neither_o yet_o will_v i_o study_v to_o allege_v all_o reason_n that_o just_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o prove_v that_o you_o be_v not_o exalt_v to_o reign_v above_o your_o brethren_n as_o man_n without_o care_n and_o solicitude_n for_o these_o be_v principal_n so_o graft_v in_o nature_n that_o very_a ethnic_n have_v confess_v the_o same_o religion_n for_o see_v that_o god_n only_o have_v place_v you_o in_o his_o chair_n have_v appoint_v you_o to_o be_v his_o lieutenant_n and_o by_o his_o own_o seal_n have_v mark_v you_o

you_o differ_v nothing_o from_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n but_o god_n only_o as_o say_v be_v have_v promote_v you_o and_o of_o his_o especial_a favour_n have_v give_v unto_o you_o this_o

a_o monster_n be_v it_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v prove_v unmerciful_a to_o they_o above_o who_o you_o be_v appoint_v to_o reign_v as_o father_n above_o be_v child_n because_o i_o say_v that_o very_a

honour_n of_o their_o god_n and_o to_o maintain_v that_o religion_n which_o they_o suppose_v to_o have_v be_v true_a and_o that_o be_v second_v care_n be_v to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v the_o

petition_n may_v appear_v more_o hard_a and_o difficile_a to_o be_v grant_v i_o purpose_v brefe_o magistrate_n but_o yet_o free_o to_o speak_v what_o god_n by_o his_o word_n do_v assure_v i_o to_o be_v true_a to_o wit_n ▪_o first_o that_o in_o conscience_n you_o be_v bind_v to_o punish_v malefactor_n and_o to_o defend_v innocent_n imploringe_v your_o help_n secondare_o that_o god_n require_v

malice_n of_o satan_n and_o negligence_n of_o man_n and_o last_o that_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o remove_v from_o honour_n and_o to_o punish_v with_o death_n if_o the_o crime_n so_o require_v such_o as_o deceive_v the_o people_n or_o defraud_v they_o of_o that_o food_n of_o be_v soul_n i_o mean_v god_n lively_a word_n the_o first_o and_o second_o be_v most_o plain_a by_o the_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n thus_o speak_v of_o lawful_a power_n 13._o let_v every_o soul_n say_v he_o submit_v himself_o unto_o the_o hygh_a power_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n whosoever_o therefore_o resist_v power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n for_o ruler_n be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v of_o those_o that_o do_v well_o but_o of_o those_o that_o do_v evil_a will_v thou_o then_o be_v without_o fear_n of_o the_o power_n do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o so_o shall_v thou_o be_v praise_v of_o the_o same_o for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o thy_o wealth_n but_o if_o thou_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a fear_n for_o he_o bear_v not_o the_o sword_n for_o nought_o for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o take_v vengeance_n on_o they_o that_o do_v evil_a as_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o word_n most_o strayt_o command_v obedience_n to_o be_v give_v to_o lawful_a power_n pronounce_v god_n wrath_n and_o vengeance_n against_o such_o as_o shall_v resist_v the_o ordonaunce_n of_o god_n so_o do_v he_o assign_v to_o the_o power_n be_v

may_v have_v a_o benefit_n and_o be_v praise_v in_o well_o do_v now_o if_o you_o be_v power_n ordain_v by_o god_n and_o that_o i_o hope_v all_o man_n will_v grant_n then_o by_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v the_o sword_n give_v unto_o you_o by_o god_n for_o maintenance_n of_o the_o innocent_a and_o for_o punyshement_n of_o malefactor_n but_o i_o and_o my_o brethren_n with_o i_o

the_o very_a pestilence_n who_o have_v infect_v all_o christianity_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o plain_a doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n you_o be_v bind_v to_o maintain_v we_o and_o to_o punish_v the_o other_o be_v evident_o convict_v and_o prove_v criminal_a subieste_n moreover_o the_o former_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v teach_v how_o far_o high_a power_n be_v bind_v to_o be_v subject_n to_o wit_n that_o because_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n by_o he_o ordain_v for_o the_o profitt_a and_o utility_n of_o other_o most_o diligent_o oght_v they_o to_o intend_v upon_o the_o same_o for_o that_o cause_n assign_v the_o holy_a ghost_n command_v subject_n to_o obey_v and_o to_o pay_v tribute_n sa_v for_o this_o do_v you_o pay_v tribute_n and_o toll_n 13._o that_o be_v because_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n bear_v the_o sword_n for_o your_o utility_n whereof_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o honour_n without_o a_o charge_n annex_v and_o this_o one_o point_n i_o wish_v your_o wisdom_n dipe_o to_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v not_o place_v you_o above_o your_o brethren_n to_o reign_v as_o tyrant_n without_o respect_n of_o be_v profitt_a and_o commodity_n you_o hear_v the_o holy_a ghost_n witness_v the_o contrary_a affirm_v that_o all_o lawful_a power_n be_v god_n minister_n orden_v for_o the_o wealth_n profitt_a and_o salvation_n of_o their_o subject_n and_o not_o for_o be_v destruction_n can_v it_o be_v say_v i_o beseech_v you_o that_o magistrate_n note_v enclose_v be_v subject_n in_o a_o city_n without_o all_o victuales_fw-la or_o geve_v unto_o they_o no_o other_o victuales_fw-la but_o such_o as_o be_v poison_v do_v rule_v for_o the_o profitt_a of_o their_o subiet●es_n i_o trust_v that_o none_o will_v be_v so_o foolish_a as_o so_o to_o
