A54055	Some considerations proposed to this distracted nation of England concerning the present design and work of God therein, upon their submitting whereto doth their settlement alone depend, and not upon any form of government, or change of governors, as that spirit which seeketh their ruin, tempteth them to believe.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1659 (1659)	Wing P1191; ESTC R8190	3,831	1

some_o consideration_n propose_v to_o this_o distract_a nation_n of_o england_n concerning_o the_o present_a design_n and_o work_v of_o god_n therein_o upon_o their_o submit_v whereto_o do_v their_o settlement_n alone_o depend_v and_o not_o upon_o any_o form_n of_o government_n or_o change_v of_o governor_n as_o that_o spirit_n which_o seek_v their_o ruin_n tempt_v they_o to_o believe_v 1._o that_o god_n in_o great_a mercy_n break_v the_o band_n of_o the_o romish_a yoke_n which_o lie_v hard_o upon_o the_o neck_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o be_v very_o weighty_a upon_o those_o conscience_n wherein_o the_o true_a reform_v light_n do_v arise_v in_o any_o measure_n and_o who_o be_v in_o any_o measure_n true_a to_o that_o light_n which_o the_o lord_n cause_v to_o break_v in_o upon_o they_o 2._o that_o the_o reformation_n out_o of_o popery_n be_v not_o present_o perfect_v nay_o be_v never_o yet_o perfect_v but_o be_v very_o weak_a and_o low_a many_o thing_n therein_o savour_v very_o much_o of_o popery_n the_o nation_n be_v hardly_o able_a to_o bear_v at_o that_o time_n what_o be_v do_v so_o that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n still_o continue_v which_o can_v not_o but_o be_v burdensome_a to_o the_o upright-hearted_a and_o to_o the_o tender_a conscience_n as_o the_o light_n which_o begin_v their_o reformation_n do_v grow_v and_o increase_v in_o they_o 3._o that_o the_o lord_n god_n who_o in_o such_o great_a mercy_n have_v deliver_v this_o nation_n from_o the_o yoke_n of_o popery_n can_v not_o but_o expect_v that_o the_o reformation_n shall_v grow_v and_o increase_v until_o it_o be_v perfect_v even_o until_o nothing_o be_v leave_v which_o arise_v from_o that_o spirit_n from_o whence_o popery_n spring_v and_o which_o may_v in_o its_o proper_a tendency_n be_v serviceable_a to_o that_o spirit_n but_o that_o all_o his_o people_n in_o this_o nation_n may_v have_v free_a liberty_n at_o least_o if_o not_o encouragement_n to_o return_v to_o the_o pure_a worship_n of_o he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n even_o as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n before_o the_o apostasy_n from_o the_o spirit_n and_o from_o the_o truth_n 4._o that_o the_o reformation_n out_o of_o popery_n be_v not_o pursue_v as_o the_o lord_n expect_v it_o shall_v but_o a_o dark_a way_n of_o worship_n establish_v in_o the_o land_n and_o a_o dark_a church_n government_n both_o very_a like_o that_o of_o rome_n whereby_o those_o that_o be_v true_o conscientious_a and_o in_o who_o the_o reform_a light_n do_v further_a and_o further_o arise_v be_v reproach_v nicknamed_a hate_a persecute_a etc._n etc._n insomuch_o as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o bar_n set_v up_o against_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o reformation_n any_o further_o and_o a_o formal_a way_n of_o church-government_n and_o worship_n erect_v which_o be_v please_v to_o the_o loose_a and_o carnal_a spirit_n but_o sharp_a cruel_a and_o burdensome_a to_o the_o strict_a sort_n and_o to_o such_o as_o be_v tender-hearted_a towards_o god_n 5._o that_o under_o this_o church-government_n and_o way_n of_o worship_n there_o be_v a_o go●ng_v backward_o towards_o popery_n again_o instead_o of_o go_v further_o from_o it_o thing_n grow_v e●ery_a day_n worse_o and_o worse_o ceremony_n daily_o abound_v and_o be_v more_o and_o more_o strict_o enjoin_v wear_v of_o surplice_n bow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n rail_v of_o the_o communion_n table_n and_o make_v step_n up_o to_o it_o call_v they_o high_a altar_n bow_v thrice_o at_o their_o approach_n to_o they_o have_v corporass_n over_o the_o bread_n say_v second_o service_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o chief_a end_n of_o their_o visitation_n be_v to_o establish_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o and_o to_o suppress_v lecturer_n and_o conscientious_a preacher_n among_o who_o some_o fresh_a life_n do_v spring_v up_o for_o the_o relief_n of_o the_o needy_a and_o desolate_a and_o to_o curtal_n preach_v and_o pray_v before_o and_o after_o sermon_n yea_o and_o catechise_v too_o which_o by_o authority_n be_v appoint_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o afternoon_n sermon_n when_o they_o find_v it_o exceed_v the_o limit_n they_o intend_v and_o this_o proceed_v so_o far_o that_o there_o be_v very_o little_a difference_n between_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n save_v only_o the_o name_n the_o worship_n in_o both_o become_v dead_a and_o formal_a and_o please_v to_o the_o fleshly_a part_n but_o empty_a of_o that_o which_o shall_v feed_v and_o refresh_v the_o spirit_n only_o the_o lord_n have_v reserve_v to_o himself_o a_o remnant_n who_o can_v not_o bow_v to_o these_o thing_n but_o groan_v under_o they_o and_o witness_v against_o they_o mourn_v bitter_o to_o the_o lord_n under_o the_o load_n and_o weight_n of_o they_o 6._o that_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n arise_v against_o this_o form_n of_o church-government_n and_o worship_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o the_o lord_n to_o appear_v for_o the_o power_n and_o life_n of_o religion_n be_v even_o expire_a and_o he_o break_v down_o all_o that_o stand_v up_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o it_o and_o give_v much_o liberty_n to_o the_o oppress_a spirit_n and_o conscience_n of_o his_o people_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o please_v to_o the_o nation_n but_o fain_o will_v they_o have_v have_v either_o the_o same_o form_n up_o again_o or_o at_o least_o some_o other_o such_o like_a in_o the_o stead_n of_o it_o whereby_o the_o loose_a spirit_n of_o the_o nation_n may_v be_v settle_v in_o some_o way_n of_o formal_a worship_n and_o the_o grow_a reform_v light_n snib_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o tender-hearted_a towards_o god_n look_v back_o with_o a_o single_a and_o honest_a eye_n have_v it_o not_o be_v thus_o have_v there_o not_o be_v a_o sharp_a contention_n between_o god_n and_o this_o nation_n concerning_o this_o thing_n the_o lord_n have_v rise_v to_o remove_v the_o yoke_n from_o off_o the_o oppress_a that_o he_o may_v cause_v the_o power_n of_o this_o nation_n to_o let_v the_o oppress_a conscience_n go_v free_a but_o the_o nation_n will_v have_v they_o bind_v it_o be_v still_o cry_v to_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n
