for_o outward_a peace_n for_o that_o be_v to_o part_v with_o god_n for_o man_n heaven_n for_o earth_n inward_a for_o outward_a peace_n which_o be_v a_o sinful_a and_o foolish_a change_n but_o yet_o first_o i_o say_v by_o treaty_n we_o may_v have_v public_o all_o the_o peace_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o fight_v for_o which_o we_o have_v protest_v to_o maintain_v that_o be_v all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n establish_v by_o law_n second_o i_o say_v if_o any_o error_n be_v leave_v we_o shall_v not_o be_v accessary_a to_o it_o have_v within_o our_o sphere_n profess_v against_o it_o and_o endeavour_v the_o eradication_n of_o it_o three_o we_o may_v for_o our_o own_o particular_a hold_v all_o truth_n and_o purity_n that_o be_v a_o legacy_n that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o we_o that_o none_o can_v take_v away_o they_o may_v trouble_v and_o molest_v we_o for_o it_o but_o can_v without_o our_o own_o consent_n despoil_v we_o of_o it_o four_o we_o may_v have_v public_o more_o truth_n settle_v by_o treaty_n than_o we_o be_v like_a to_o have_v by_o victory_n on_o either_o side_n we_o have_v have_v experience_n on_o the_o one_o side_n already_o and_o i_o believe_v few_o of_o you_o doubt_v of_o my_o assertion_n if_o victory_n shall_v fall_v on_o the_o other_o obj._n 2_o but_o some_o may_v think_v that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o fit_a time_n to_o treat_v till_o the_o force_n up_o against_o the_o parliament_n be_v reduce_v but_o than_o it_o will_v be_v seasonable_a ans_fw-fr to_o omit_v other_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v answer_v to_o this_o objection_n i_o answer_v brief_o though_o the_o opposition_n that_o be_v now_o raise_v against_o the_o parliament_n make_v it_o somewhat_o inconvenient_a to_o treat_v in_o some_o respect_n yet_o in_o some_o other_o it_o make_v it_o more_o necessary_a a_o treaty_n i_o confess_v be_v not_o so_o honourable_a when_o in_o any_o degree_n enforce_v and_o it_o be_v convenient_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v with_o the_o great_a tranquillity_n and_o freedom_n but_o that_o opportunity_n be_v lose_v now_o the_o force_n that_o be_v up_o do_v necessitate_v it_o if_o we_o will_v prevent_v grievous_a and_o hazardous_a slaughter_n and_o therefore_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o any_o wise_a man_n though_o never_o so_o opposite_a to_o conjunction_n with_o other_o force_n rise_v shall_v not_o think_v they_o a_o just_a occasion_n though_o not_o to_o precipitate_v yet_o to_o hasten_v a_o treaty_n see_v else_o so_o great_a slaughter_n be_v like_a to_o be_v because_o now_o as_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o text_n there_o be_v give_v to_o they_o a_o great_a sword_n that_o may_v shed_v much_o precious_a blood_n but_o something_o be_v requisite_a in_o we_o to_o promote_v peace_n beside_o endeavour_v treaty_n for_o we_o must_v study_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o return_n of_o peace_n god_n give_v it_o and_o god_n take_v it_o away_o and_o god_n wait_v to_o be_v gracious_a give_v mercy_n to_o his_o people_n when_o they_o be_v fit_a for_o they_o now_o we_o be_v fit_a for_o peace_n first_o when_o we_o right_o prize_v it_o which_o want_v of_o it_o shall_v and_o may_v teach_v we_o for_o bona_fw-la carendo_fw-la etc._n etc._n good_a thing_n be_v best_a know_v in_o their_o value_n by_o our_o want_v
