have_v always_o be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o violence_n and_o cruelty_n the_o whole_a book_n of_o martyr_n do_v sufficient_o show_v it_o and_o may_v it_o not_o be_v say_v of_o they_o that_o pretend_v they_o be_v the_o reformer_n of_o popery_n among_o we_o that_o destruction_n and_o violence_n be_v in_o their_o way_n for_o their_o cruelty_n i_o think_v that_o reverend_a brother_n of_o we_o do_v sufficient_o intimate_v it_o by_o the_o resolution_n he_o give_v to_o a_o tender_a conscience_n desire_v to_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o lend_v or_o give_v money_n to_o maintain_v this_o

and_o thorn_n when_o the_o captain_n return_v because_o they_o have_v not_o give_v he_o their_o assistance_n and_o to_o prevent_v a_o like_a punishment_n he_o conclude_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o give_v the_o resolution_n be_v doughty_a but_o it_o infer_v cruelty_n in_o the_o exactor_n and_o so_o myself_o talke_a with_o another_o about_o this_o business_n of_o plate_n and_o money_n his_o judgement_n be_v we_o have_v better_o give_v then_o not_o for_o if_o the_o king_n prevail_v we_o be_v like_a to_o find_v mercy_n from_o he_o for_o he_o be_v gracious_a and_o pitiful_a and_o will_v in_o his_o

in_o the_o excess_n can_v be_v expect_v from_o they_o can_v their_o any_o more_o be_v say_v of_o the_o papist_n it_o be_v true_a as_o the_o papist_n cry_v out_o of_o the_o cruelty_n of_o the_o

abaddon_n nay_o in_o one_o thing_n more_o let_v i_o show_v you_o the_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n in_o this_o new_a way_n as_o the_o aim_n of_o the_o wicked_a papist_n have_v be_v chief_o to_o

i_o answer_v that_o i_o dare_v not_o deny_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n which_o i_o have_v preach_v he_o must_v discreet_o reply_v yea_o but_o the_o truth_n must_v not_o be_v speak_v at_o all_o time_n i_o humble_o answer_v that_o a_o divine_a truth_n be_v then_o in_o special_a to_o be_v speak_v and_o maintain_v by_o they_o that_o be_v entrust_v with_o it_o of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v in_o danger_n

if_o i_o will_v have_v defile_v my_o conscience_n in_o disclaim_v that_o depositum_fw-la which_o god_n have_v commit_v to_o my_o charge_n i_o may_v haply_o at_o this_o present_a have_v enjoy_v my_o
