the_o supreme_a government_n 4._o of_o the_o present_a parliament_n they_o say_v that_o the_o same_o god_n who_o have_v pull_v the_o former_a parliament_n down_o have_v set_v they_o up_o not_o to_o rule_v for_o themselves_o but_o for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n not_o to_o seek_v their_o own_o but_o the_o honour_n of_o christ_n wherein_o their_o word_n be_v good_a and_o if_o their_o meaning_n be_v no_o worse_o they_o may_v pass_v without_o exception_n but_o if_o they_o mean_v themselves_o only_o or_o their_o own_o party_n to_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o their_o petition_n though_o most_o unrighteous_a and_o unreasonable_a as_o this_o be_v must_v sway_v the_o vote_n and_o determination_n of_o parliament_n their_o opinion_n be_v a_o mere_a deceit_n and_o their_o

show_v how_o they_o own_v they_o as_o their_o parliament_n 3._o their_o zeal_n for_o the_o parliament_n in_o pray_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v fall_v down_o upon_o they_o and_o teach_v they_o how_o to_o rule_v after_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n 4._o their_o joy_n in_o the_o parliament_n for_o their_o declaration_n to_o break_v off_o all_o their_o yoke_n and_o remove_v all_o their_o burden_n 1._o for_o the_o first_o we_o think_v so_o well_o of_o the_o parliament_n wisdom_n that_o they_o need_v not_o the_o advice_n of_o these_o petitioner_n and_o their_o faithfulness_n that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v corrupt_v by_o their_o solicitation_n to_o act_v otherwise_o then_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o piety_n and_o justice_n 2._o for_o the_o second_o their_o heart_n own_v this_o parliament_n that_o be_v somewhat_o for_o some_o great_a enemy_n to_o tithe_n have_v take_v the_o boldness_n to_o tell_v the_o world_n in_o print_n that_o there_o have_v be_v no_o

with_o a_o implicit_a condition_n that_o the_o parliament_n own_o they_o and_o their_o cause_n as_o they_o represent_v it_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o oppression_n by_o payment_n of_o tithe_n 3._o for_o their_o profess_a zeal_n in_o pray_v for_o the_o parliament_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v fall_v down_o upon_o they_o and_o teach_v they_o to_o rule_v after_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n we_o say_v amen_o to_o this_o prayer_n only_o with_o this_o addition_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o heart_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n may_v all_o work_v together_o for_o their_o guidance_n and_o direction_n both_o in_o their_o consultation_n and_o conclusion_n 4._o whereas_o they_o profess_v their_o joy_n in_o the_o parliament_n for_o their_o deolaration_n to_o break_v all_o their_o yoke_n and_o to_o remove_v all_o their_o burden_n we_o question_v whether_o the_o parliament_n in_o any_o declaration_n have_v specify_v tithe_n to_o be_v a_o burden_n or_o a_o yoke_n we_o believe_v they_o have_v not_o nor_o can_v they_o on_o the_o sudden_a take_v off_o all_o burden_n while_o there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o necessity_n to_o maintain_v a_o fight_a navy_n by_o sea_n as_o well_o as_o a_o army_n by_o land_n 2._o the_o other_o part_n which_o be_v the_o close_a of_o their_o prologue_n or_o proem_n to_o their_o proposal_n against_o tithe_n be_v their_o sad_a condition_n by_o that_o grand_a burden_n under_o which_o they_o have_v groan_v till_o their_o hair_n ache_v beside_o what_o we_o have_v observe_v before_o of_o the_o burden_n on_o the_o back_n and_o yoke_n on_o the_o neck_n of_o god_n people_n and_o of_o their_o groan_n and_o cry_n we_o shall_v here_o touch_v only_o at_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v how_o such_o joy_n as_o but_o now_o they_o profess_v and_o such_o groan_a and_o ache_n of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o grand_a burden_n not_o yet_o move_v can_v agree_v together_o the_o other_o be_v that_o suppose_v tithe_n be_v a_o burden_n they_o may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o weight_n of_o it_o and_o i_o think_v many_o be_v so_o who_o when_o war_n and_o plunder_v have_v impoverish_v many_o obstruction_n of_o trade_n be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o the_o recruit_v of_o their_o state_n and_o great_a payment_n have_v oppress_v they_o by_o the_o clamour_n of_o such_o as_o these_o petitioner_n put_v all_o their_o aggreevance_n upon_o the_o score_n of_o tithe_n which_o without_o the_o other_o detriment_n will_v never_o be_v matter_n of_o complaint_n to_o any_o but_o to_o such_o as_o be_v wayward_a or_o covetous_a thus_o much_o of_o their_o prologue_n their_o epilogue_n be_v but_o short_a no_o more_o but_o this_o upon_o the_o grant_n of_o their_o request_n your_o petitioner_n shall_v own_o the_o lord_n in_o you_o and_o bless_v the_o lord_n for_o you_o and_o pray_v and_o hope_n and_o wait_v to_o see_v your_o hand_n stretch_v out_o for_o the_o lord_n till_o you_o shall_v help_v to_o tear_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o whore_n and_o burn_v she_o with_o fire_n if_o they_o put_v down_o tithe_n and_o all_o force_a maintenance_n and_o set_v up_o nothing_o like_o it_o in_o stead_n thereof_o than_o they_o will_v own_v the_o lord_n in_o they_o and_o bless_v god_n for_o they_o what_o not_o otherwise_o if_o the_o lord_n be_v and_o appear_v in_o they_o will_v they_o not_o own_v he_o but_o upon_o their_o own_o condition_n we_o see_v nothing_o in_o their_o petition_n that_o may_v induce_v we_o to_o conceive_v their_o sense_n to_o be_v any_o other_o then_o hypotheticall_a but_o what_o o_o they_o mean_v by_o pray_v and_o hope_v and_o weight_a to_o see_v their_o hand_n stretch_v out_o for_o the_o lord_n till_o they_o shall_v help_v to_o tear_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o whore_n and_o burn_v she_o with_o fire_n what_o whore_n do_v they_o mean_v who_o flesh_n shall_v be_v tear_v and_o what_o tear_v burn_a if_o they_o mean_v by_o the_o whore_n man_n whore_n joseph_n salmon_n
