A68707	A large declaration concerning the late tumults in Scotland, from their first originalls together with a particular deduction of the seditious practices of the prime leaders of the Covenanters: collected out of their owne foule acts and writings: by which it doth plainly appeare, that religion was onely pretended by those leaders, but nothing lesse intended by them. By the King.	Balcanquhall, Walter, 1586?-1645.; Charles I, King of England, 1600-1649.	1639 (1639)	STC 21906; ESTC S116832	348,621	446

religion_n justice_n and_o honesty_n they_o have_v effect_v it_o other_o beside_o themselves_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n must_v judge_v and_o give_v sentence_n as_o this_o of_o the_o libel_n

it_o and_o perceive_v that_o she_o be_v well_o skill_v in_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o have_v a_o good_a memory_n so_o that_o she_o can_v remember_v the_o bitter_a invective_n which_o both_o in_o the_o pulpit_n and_o elsewhere_o she_o have_v hear_v make_v against_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o service-booke_n they_o think_v she_o a_o very_a fit_a instrument_n to_o abuse_v the_o people_n and_o cry_v she_o up_o so_o much_o that_o the_o multitude_n be_v make_v believe_v her_o word_n proceed_v not_o from_o herself_o but_o from_o god_n thence_o be_v that_o incredible_a concourse_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n nobleman_n gentleman_n minister_n woman_n of_o all_o rank_n and_o quality_n who_o watch_v or_o stay_v by_o her_o day_n and_o night_n during_o the_o time_n of_o her_o pretend_a fit_n and_o do_v admire_v her_o rapture_n and_o inspiration_n as_o come_v from_o heaven_n she_o speak_v but_o at_o certain_a time_n and_o many_o time_n have_v intermission_n of_o day_n and_o week_n in_o all_o probability_n that_o she_o may_v have_v time_n to_o receive_v instruction_n and_o to_o digest_v they_o against_o the_o next_o time_n of_o exercise_v her_o gift_n as_o they_o call_v they_o which_o so_o soon_o as_o she_o be_v ready_a to_o begin_v the_o news_n of_o it_o be_v blow_v all_o the_o town_n over_o and_o the_o house_n so_o throng_v that_o thousand_o at_o every_o time_n can_v find_v no_o access_n the_o joy_n which_o her_o auditor_n conceive_v for_o the_o comfort_n of_o such_o a_o messenger_n from_o heaven_n and_o such_o message_n as_o she_o deliver_v from_o thence_o be_v many_o time_n express_v by_o they_o in_o tear_n by_o none_o more_o than_o by_o rollock_n her_o special_a favourite_n who_o be_v desire_v sometime_o by_o the_o spectator_n to_o pray_v with_o she_o and_o speak_v to_o she_o answer_v that_o he_o dare_v not_o do_v it_o as_o be_v no_o good_a manner_n in_o he_o to_o speak_v while_o his_o master_n be_v speak_v in_o she_o now_o that_o she_o be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o covenanter_n to_o persuade_v their_o end_n with_o the_o people_n there_o be_v two_o reason_n which_o may_v induce_v the_o reader_n probable_o to_o believe_v first_o because_o that_o they_o of_o best_a judgement_n who_o be_v present_a at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o pretend_a rapture_n do_v affirm_v that_o they_o see_v nor_o can_v observe_v nothing_o supernatural_a in_o they_o they_o only_o find_v she_o have_v a_o good_a memory_n especial_o of_o that_o which_o she_o have_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n or_o have_v hear_v preach_v that_o she_o have_v a_o very_a good_a expression_n of_o herself_o but_o yet_o they_o find_v that_o both_o she_o know_v that_o she_o be_v speak_v and_o what_o she_o be_v speak_v contrary_a to_o that_o report_n which_o go_v about_o of_o she_o and_o that_o while_o she_o be_v speak_v if_o she_o be_v interrupt_v by_o any_o question_n she_o make_v very_o pertinent_a answer_n to_o they_o which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v if_o all_o that_o time_n she_o have_v be_v transport_v with_o any_o supernatural_a rapture_n second_o because_o most_o of_o all_o that_o she_o speak_v still_o tend_v to_o the_o covenanter_n end_v when_o she_o speak_v of_o christ_n she_o ordinary_o call_v he_o by_o the_o name_n of_o covenant_v jesus_n the_o sum_n of_o her_o speech_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v that_o it_o be_v reveal_v unto_o she_o from_o god_n that_o their_o covenant_n be_v approve_v and_o ratify_v in_o heaven_n but_o that_o our_o covenant_n be_v a_o invention_n of_o satan_n that_o all_o the_o adherent_n to_o it_o shall_v be_v confound_v as_o all_o the_o adherent_n to_o the_o former_a be_v and_o shall_v be_v protect_v by_o god_n the_o author_n of_o their_o covenant_n against_o all_o opposition_n whatsoever_o which_o speech_n of_o she_o be_v aver_v by_o the_o covenanter_n with_o as_o great_a confidence_n and_o admire_v by_o the_o people_n with_o as_o much_o veneration_n if_o not_o more_o as_o any_o other_o of_o their_o pulpit_n dictate_v which_o presumption_n do_v make_v very_o many_o both_o covenanter_n and_o other_o think_v that_o the_o cry_v up_o of_o this_o maid_n do_v look_v something_o like_o a_o romish_a imposture_n let_v all_o this_o rebellious_a behaviour_n and_o these_o contempt_n of_o our_o commissioner_n and_o council_n interveen_v between_o our_o last_o

by_o these_o strange_a proceed_n he_o can_v not_o have_v the_o least_o hope_n of_o any_o good_a and_o if_o he_o shall_v discharge_v it_o they_o be_v sure_o they_o shall_v gain_v some_o credit_n with_o
