but_o so_o it_o can_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n by_o the_o persecuter_n who_o can_v sleep_v unless_o they_o do_v mischief_n and_o they_o do_v hinder_v other_o from_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o a_o persecuter_n can_v be_v sincere_a and_o in_o good_a earnest_n when_o he_o say_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o all_o they_o of_o a_o persecute_v spirit_n do_v but_o dissemble_v and_o mock_v god_n and_o tell_v he_o a_o parcel_n of_o lie_n to_o his_o very_a face_n for_o they_o do_v say_v in_o word_n that_o god_n will_n must_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o in_o work_n they_o do_v utter_o deny_v it_o for_o they_o dethrone_v the_o almighty_a who_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v and_o the_o proud_a persecuter_n do_v mount_v god_n throne_n here_o on_o earth_n namely_o the_o soul_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o say_v to_o their_o soul_n bow_v down_o that_o we_o may_v go_v over_o they_o do_v rob_v god_n of_o his_o sovereignty_n and_o become_v spiritual_a legislator_n to_o make_v

on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v do_v in_o hell_n and_o not_o to_o do_v god_n will_n in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n again_o sixthly_a a_o persecuter_n as_o often_o as_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n

now_o a_o persecuter_n can_v say_v this_o hearty_o and_o sincere_o because_o that_o instead_o of_o pray_v to_o god_n he_o do_v imprecate_v the_o forest_n of_o judgement_n upon_o himself_o for_o he_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n as_o we_o forgive_v they_o their_o trespass_n against_o we_o and_o the_o persecuter_n do_v not_o nor_o yet_o do_v not_o forgive_v the_o dissenter_n though_o but_o

trespass_n against_o god_n or_o else_o they_o will_v not_o forgive_v they_o their_o pretend_a trespass_n against_o they_o which_o make_v the_o remedy_n infinite_o worse_o than_o the_o disease_n and_o

which_o be_v passive_a obedience_n of_o the_o right_a kind_n therefore_o the_o persecuter_n do_v pray_v that_o god_n will_v not_o forgive_v they_o their_o sin_n for_o christ_n have_v say_v but_o if_o

why_o come_v thou_o down_o hither_o and_o with_o who_o have_v thou_o leave_v those_o few_o sheep_n in_o the_o wilderness_n i_o know_v thy_o pride_n and_o the_o naughtiness_n of_o thy_o heart_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v to_o meddle_v with_o state-matter_n thou_o little_a despicable_a shepherd_n that_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v trust_v with_o many_o

i_o his_o brother_n think_v it_o be_v a_o very_a unlikely_a thing_n that_o ever_o such_o a_o pititiful_a despicable_a shepherd_n as_o he_o be_v with_o his_o staff_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o his_o shepherd_n bag_n by_o his_o side_n with_o only_o five_o stone_n in_o it_o shall_v ever_o have_v slay_v great_a goliath_n while_o his_o brethren_n and_o all_o the_o great_a man_n and_o valiant_a accomplish_a soldier_n with_o the_o whole_a host_n of_o israel_n stand_v by_o and_o look_v on_o it_o be_v a_o very_a unlikely_a thing_n that_o such_o a_o stripling_n as_o he_o be_v shall_v conquer_v and_o kill_v that_o mighty_a giant_n but_o what_o be_v there_o too_o hard_a for_o the_o great_a god_n to_o do_v by_o any_o mean_n or_o instrument_n he_o please_v to_o make_v use_n of_o therefore_o let_v all_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n be_v ascribe_v unto_o god_n and_o not_o unto_o instrument_n and_o mean_n second_o my_o great_a reason_n of_o all_o for_o this_o my_o proceed_n in_o this_o way_n and_o manner_n be_v because_o my_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n of_o the_o sacramental_a test_n virtual_o and_o mystical_o a_o crucify_a by_o the_o penal_a law_n that_o be_v yet_o in_o be_v and_o will_v do_v until_o it_o be_v abolish_v for_o though_o his_o majesty_n have_v do_v what_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o take_v he_o down_o by_o which_o mean_n there_o be_v a_o cessation_n of_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o with_o a_o respect_n to_o the_o suffering_n of_o his_o people_n yet_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v worse_o than_o the_o effect_n remain_v still_o and_o there_o be_v some_o person_n that_o refuse_v to_o put_v their_o hand_n to_o help_v to_o take_v he_o down_o from_o this_o cross_n though_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n call_v upon_o we_o all_o now_o so_o to_o do_v but_o let_v such_o person_n have_v a_o care_n because_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n three_o my_o three_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o proceed_v be_v this_o viz._n because_o truth_n be_v treason_n with_o the_o persecuter_n about_o four_o or_o five_o year_n ago_o for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v but_o have_v say_v that_o conscience_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v restrain_v in_o mere_a matter_n of_o religion_n as_o his_o majesty_n in_o his_o gracious_a declaration_n have_v do_v the_o lord_n reward_v he_o for_o it_o he_o will_v have_v be_v severe_o deal_v withal_o and_o count_v a_o rebel_n and_o a_o enemy_n to_o the_o government_n and_o deal_v withal_o as_o such_o for_o i_o know_v a_o friend_n of_o i_o that_o be_v a_o constable_n that_o be_v complain_v against_o because_o he_o will_v not_o help_v to_o plunder_v his_o honest_a neighbour_n and_o they_o that_o be_v then_o justice_n do_v wheedle_n he_o in_o to_o tell_v they_o what_o his_o reason_n be_v for_o not_o obey_v their_o warrant_n whereupon_o he_o innocent_o not_o think_v of_o the_o snare_n that_o they_o have_v lay_v for_o he_o by_o speak_v fair_a word_n unto_o he_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o this_o the_o honest_a constable_n be_v send_v to_o prison_n and_o fine_v a_o hundred_o pound_n and_o pay_v it_o every_o groat_n beside_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o time_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o family_n and_o prison_n expense_n and_o fee_n which_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a case_n four_o another_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o proceed_n be_v this_o viz._n because_o there_o be_v never_o a_o better_a opportunity_n to_o bear_v a_o testimony_n against_o that_o antichristian_a spirit_n of_o persecution_n than_o there_o be_v now_o have_v so_o good_a a_o text_n for_o it_o from_o his_o gracious_a majesty_n by_o who_o god_n have_v bear_v such_o a_o clear_a testimony_n against_o it_o from_o heaven_n to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o which_o he_o have_v gracious_o and_o consequential_o tell_v we_o that_o conscience_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v restrain_v nor_o oppress_v by_o these_o crucify_a oppress_v law_n five_o my_o five_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o bless_v god_n i_o be_o not_o afraid_a to_o do_v good_a for_o fear_v of_o evil_a come_n of_o it_o which_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v again_o a_o six_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o proceed_v be_v because_o i_o be_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n politic_a of_o the_o nation_n i_o be_o a_o englishman_n bear_v and_o therefore_o i_o ought_v to_o be_v useful_a to_o the_o say_a body_n for_o what_o be_v a_o member_n good_a for_o that_o be_v not_o helpful_a to_o the_o body_n it_o be_v as_o if_o it_o be_v no_o member_n again_o my_o seven_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o find_v many_o man_n of_o a_o gallio-like_a spirit_n they_o care_v not_o for_o these_o thing_n a_o spirit_n of_o neutrality_n and_o indifferency_n have_v seize_v upon_o they_o they_o be_v neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a they_o be_v trimmer_n eight_o my_o eight_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o proceed_v be_v because_o i_o be_o bind_v in_o gratitude_n towards_o god_n for_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o also_o in_o point_n of_o gratitude_n to_o his_o majesty_n into_o who_o heart_n god_n have_v be_v gracious_o please_v to_o put_v it_o to_o give_v and_o grant_v unto_o we_o this_o glorious_a liberty_n and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o best_a service_n that_o i_o be_o capable_a to_o do_v in_o the_o nation_n and_o in_o my_o generation_n nine_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o my_o proceed_v be_v because_o i_o will_v do_v my_o persecute_v enemy_n all_o the_o good_a i_o can_v while_o i_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n command_n mat._n 5.44_o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o love_v your_o enemy_n bless_v they_o that_o curse_v you_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v you_o and_o pray_v for_o they_o which_o

to_o contribute_v to_o the_o complete_n of_o this_o our_o christian_a liberty_n why_o then_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o the_o jew_n will_v have_v put_v the_o prophet_n
