A89748	A clear optick discovering to the eye of reason; that regality is not inconsistent with the ends That episcopacy and presbytery are of the essence That independency is incorporated into the body That levelling is allowable in the constituting [brace] of government. And that the recusants are hugely mistaken in the constitution of their Roman hierarchy. Roughly set out in an humble addresse to the Parliament of England. / By Anthony Norwood, a cordial votary for the peace of the nation.

name_n who_o follow_v not_o he_o their_o master_n i_o think_v i_o may_v easy_o infer_v that_o no_o man_n who_o be_v endow_v with_o so_o much_o grace_n as_o to_o believe_v all_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n essential_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o father_n to_o impede_fw-la the_o devil_n entrance_n by_o interpose_v those_o outward_a ordinary_a mean_n which_o he_o have_v prescribe_v and_o this_o not_o alone_o in_o themselves_o but_o to_o all_o other_o for_o love_n be_v a_o general_a duty_n which_o have_v reference_n to_o all_o mankind_n and_o it_o be_v little_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n to_o think_v that_o god_n require_v that_o at_o man_n hand_n without_o give_v he_o a_o plenary_a commission_n to_o express_v it_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v any_o way_n so_o well_o

and_o i_o see_v not_o how_o any_o can_v be_v without_o the_o approbation_n and_o consent_n of_o their_o associate_v fellow-commissioner_n and_o i_o need_v not_o say_v that_o the_o same_o reason_n

both_o under_o the_o law_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o show_v you_o that_o before_o god_n permit_v the_o israelite_n to_o have_v king_n which_o be_v upon_o a_o emergent_a

a_o epistle_n into_o a_o volume_n sir_n by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o offer_v to_o your_o consideration_n i_o suppose_v that_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o know_v mutual_a allegiance_n between_o

endeavour_v to_o remove_v some_o other_o rub_v of_o a_o late_a date_n which_o possible_o may_v yet_o be_v think_v equivalent_a or_o superlative_a to_o this_o consent_n suppose_v the_o provident_a

call_v to_o mind_n that_o the_o parliament_n do_v first_o vote_n the_o war_n and_o then_o form_n and_o give_v commission_n to_o the_o army_n that_o the_o people_n do_v elect_v and_o thereby_o give_v

hard_o to_o determine_v upon_o who_o providence_n have_v cast_v the_o lot_n of_o government_n as_o to_o understand_v by_o what_o organ_n it_o be_v convey_v and_o no_o less_o difficult_a to_o discover_v precise_o who_o be_v subject_v to_o the_o effect_n many_o public_a spirit_a man_n there_o be_v who_o labour_v hard_a to_o prepare_v the_o way_n before_o ever_o the_o parliament_n can_v be_v convene_v or_o the_o army_n march_v into_o the_o field_n and_o not_o a_o few_o under_o who_o conduct_n during_o the_o long_a contest_v god_n send_v the_o people_n seasonable_a and_o signal_n

some_o christian_n above_o other_o some_o do_v carry_v with_o it_o a_o right_a to_o sovereignty_n i_o be_o confident_a you_o will_v not_o think_v that_o this_o rule_n will_v reach_v all_o those_o who_o be_v endow_v with_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o i_o think_v not_o infallible_o those_o who_o be_v not_o therewith_o endow_v because_o all_o other_o grace_n wait_v upon_o and_o receive_v their_o
