lord_n god_n against_o the_o king_n and_o his_o government_n to_o destroy_v they_o both_o therefore_o to_o reduce_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n into_o the_o state_n as_o it_o stand_v under_o the_o bishop_n in_o his_o father_n day_n and_o to_o prohibit_v all_o other_o that_o may_v differ_v in_o judgement_n from_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n for_o peace_n and_o happiness_n in_o these_o nation_n nor_o the_o way_n that_o will_v be_v bless_v to_o the_o government_n neither_o can_v the_o bishop_n and_o prelate_n just_o themselves_o desire_v it_o that_o only_o they_o and_o their_o church-government_n shall_v be_v impose_v and_o tolerate_v and_o all_o beside_o prohibit_v for_o this_o be_v not_o do_v to_o other_o as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o and_o i_o may_v hope_v that_o their_o suffer_v this_o divers_a year_n may_v have_v teach_v they_o the_o worth_n of_o liberty_n to_o themselves_o and_o so_o that_o they_o will_v allow_v to_o other_o if_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n the_o same_o which_o they_o have_v desire_v themselves_o in_o their_o time_n of_o suffer_v and_o they_o have_v taste_v of_o some_o subjection_n in_o adversity_n they_o know_v the_o

do_v conclude_v that_o he_o may_v just_o and_o with_o more_o safety_n and_o happiness_n to_o his_o government_n tolerate_v and_o allow_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n

allow_v liberty_n unto_o and_o this_o every_o reasonable_a man_n may_v judge_v quer._n 7._o last_o what_o be_v your_o judgement_n if_o you_o dare_v declare_v it_o concerning_o the_o time_n and_o season_n and_o the_o present_a motion_n of_o they_o and_o what_o be_v your_o observation_n of_o the_o present_a proceed_n be_v the_o present_a time_n and_o season_n and_o the_o proceed_n and_o transfaction_n in_o mercy_n or_o in_o judgement_n to_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n if_o in_o mercy_n to_o who_o be_v it_o mercy_n and_o if_o in_o judgement_n who_o be_v they_o to_o who_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o if_o you_o be_v not_o faint-hearted_a declare_v your_o mind_n now_o in_o your_o last_o day_n as_o many_o think_v for_o many_o say_v that_o your_o ruin_n be_v nigh_o come_v and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o many_o be_v deceive_v answ._n yes_o we_o dare_v declare_v our_o judgement_n concerning_o the_o time_n and_o season_n for_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n in_o our_o spirit_n and_o never_o have_v be_v nor_o be_v we_o afraid_a to_o declare_v the_o truth_n so_o far_o as_o truth_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v declare_v and_o we_o say_v the_o time_n and_o season_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o they_o be_v very_o swift_a and_o the_o lord_n give_v to_o who_o and_o take_v from_o who_o time_n and_o season_n as_o he_o please_v even_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o instant_n do_v the_o lord_n give_v and_o change_v and_o alter_v time_n authority_n and_o thing_n and_o mortal_a man_n ought_v not_o to_o glory_n in_o time_n or_o season_n as_o if_o they_o be_v certain_a and_o unchangeable_a to_o he_o for_o behold_v the_o motion_n of_o time_n fly_v away_o and_o season_n remove_v their_o course_n and_o the_o most_o confident_a of_o man_n have_v no_o certainty_n thereof_o and_o that_o because_o they_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o turn_v they_o about_o and_o often_o contrary_a to_o man_n will_n and_o pleasure_n and_o therefore_o let_v every_o man_n be_v good_a in_o his_o time_n and_o fulfil_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o season_n before_o time_n and_o season_n be_v no_o more_o but_o remove_v from_o they_o and_o as_o for_o our_o observation_n they_o be_v very_o many_o of_o the_o present_a proceed_n and_o transaction_n first_o we_o do_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o all_o these_o transaction_n that_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v but_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a hand_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n through_o they_o and_o in_o they_o either_o do_n of_o they_o or_o suffer_v of_o they_o to_o be_v do_v and_o either_o as_o the_o cause_n by_o secret_a purpose_n or_o as_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o accomplishment_n it_o be_v not_o without_o he_o that_o these_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v but_o his_o eye_n and_o his_o hand_n be_v over_o they_o and_o that_o man_n be_v only_o blese_v which_o have_v respect_n unto_o he_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o he_o may_v do_v or_o suffer_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o he_o may_v not_o rebel_v against_o he_o in_o what_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v by_o he_o second_o we_o observe_v how_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v unto_o many_o man_n a_o day_n and_o a_o time_n and_o try_v they_o what_o they_o will_v do_v for_o he_o and_o whether_o they_o will_v rule_v in_o righteousness_n and_o in_o equity_n but_o many_o have_v prove_v deceitful_a and_o not_o answer_v to_o the_o lord_n what_o he_o expect_v from_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v confound_v they_o in_o their_o counsel_n and_o suffer_v they_o to_o clash_v one_o against_o another_o and_o make_v they_o overthrow_v one_o another_o and_o one_o self-seeking_a man_n have_v be_v the_o ruin_n of_o another_o as_o bad_a as_o himself_o and_o even_o many_o by_o their_o own_o proceed_n have_v prepare_v a_o rod_n and_o judgement_n even_o for_o themselves_o and_o through_o their_o blindness_n of_o heart_n which_o they_o have_v be_v give_v up_o to_o because_o of_o their_o wickedness_n they_o have_v destroy_v themselves_o and_o give_v their_o very_a enemy_n advantage_n over_o they_o to_o afflict_v they_o and_o this_o we_o have_v observe_v of_o present_a proceed_n three_o we_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o rude_a profane_a spirit_n high_o abound_v throughout_o this_o nation_n that_o bring_v forth_o much_o bad_a fruit_n as_o drunkenness_n and_o wickedness_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n which_o may_v just_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n against_o the_o land_n if_o it_o be_v not_o forsake_v though_o it_o be_v lift_v up_o in_o this_o wonderful_a rudeness_n in_o a_o pretence_n of_o glory_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o government_n yet_o it_o vex_v the_o lord_n and_o it_o work_v sorrow_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o sober_a people_n who_o be_v ponder_v what_o the_o end_n of_o this_o government_n may_v be_v that_o be_v thus_o rude_a and_o profane_a in_o its_o beginning_n say_v in_o their_o heart_n how_o shall_v the_o lord_n bless_v these_o proceed_n and_o make_v the_o end_n of_o they_o happy_a which_o be_v thus_o void_a of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o they_o and_o if_o a_o stop_n be_v not_o put_v and_o a_o limitation_n upon_o the_o spirit_n it_o will_v provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o work_v sudden_a destruction_n and_o overthrow_v the_o nation_n four_o we_o observe_v that_o many_o hypocrite_n and_o double_a mind_a man_n be_v afraid_a and_o terror_n have_v surprise_v they_o who_o have_v take_v the_o profession_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o religion_n on_o they_o for_o a_o cloak_n and_o have_v be_v in_o the_o show_n of_o righteousness_n for_o earthly_a end_n such_o be_v afraid_a and_o their_o end_n be_v frustrate_v and_o they_o be_v turn_v into_o confusion_n and_o a_o profane_a spirit_n abound_v over_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o such_o will_v deny_v their_o principle_n and_o their_o faith_n and_o will_v fawn_v and_o slatter_v to_o save_v themselves_o and_o this_o be_v abominable_a but_o man_n
prove_v otherwise_o than_o to_o destroy_v themselves_o and_o make_v room_n for_o you_o and_o these_o thing_n i_o observe_v and_o also_o thus_o far_o we_o do_v before_o see_v and_o it_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o and_o believe_v by_o many_o of_o we_o full_o and_o we_o do_v often_o prophesy_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n will_v destroy_v and_o bring_v down_o the_o government_n and_o authority_n as_o they_o have_v stand_v in_o this_o nation_n for_o divers_a year_n and_o that_o he_o will_v bring_v judgement_n upon_o the_o ruler_n and_o upon_o many_o of_o the_o teacher_n and_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n because_o of_o their_o oppression_n and_o unfaithfulness_n and_o treachery_n and_o hypocrisy_n and_o wickedness_n which_o abound_v among_o they_o which_o we_o have_v feel_v and_o see_v and_o be_v sensible_a of_o and_o we_o have_v often_o give_v our_o witness_n against_o they_o because_o of_o their_o guiltiness_n in_o their_o sinful_a way_n oh_o it_o have_v be_v loathsome_a unto_o the_o lord_n even_o the_o oppression_n and_o treachery_n of_o the_o ruler_n oh_o how_o have_v cruelty_n and_o injustice_n abound_v in_o their_o government_n and_o their_o hypocrisy_n have_v be_v evident_a in_o our_o sight_n in_o many_o particular_n and_o even_o in_o that_o they_o have_v cry_v against_o and_o overthrow_v king_n and_o kingly_a government_n charge_v they_o with_o oppression_n and_o cruelty_n and_o pretend_v to_o ease_v the_o people_n in_o a_o better_a way_n of_o government_n when_o as_o though_o governor_n and_o name_n and_o title_n of_o government_n be_v change_v and_o alter_v yet_o oppression_n cease_v not_o neither_o be_v injustice_n forsake_v nor_o be_v the_o heavy_a yoke_n of_o great_a bondage_n remove_v but_o the_o rather_o these_o thing_n be_v increase_v upon_o many_o good_a people_n in_o these_o nation_n and_o herein_o be_v the_o unfaithfulness_n and_o treachery_n of_o the_o ruler_n very_o great_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o their_o government_n unjust_a and_o unequal_a wherefore_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v provoke_v against_o they_o to_o confound_v they_o and_o overturn_v they_o and_o we_o have_v often_o tell_v it_o they_o and_o also_o the_o hypocrisy_n and_o deceit_n and_o sinfulness_n of_o teacher_n we_o have_v see_v and_o testify_v against_o and_o our_o witness_n to_o they_o both_o be_v and_o will_v be_v find_v true_a and_o god_n justice_n will_v be_v fulfil_v upon_o they_o both_o and_o these_o thing_n we_o have_v observe_v even_o the_o heinous_a guilt_n of_o sin_n against_o god_n in_o both_o ruler_n and_o teacher_n and_o the_o abomination_n that_o have_v be_v commit_v both_o in_o civil_a and_o church_n government_n so_o call_v also_o and_o many_o people_n have_v love_v to_o have_v these_o thing_n so_o and_o we_o have_v be_v sensible_a how_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v provoke_v to_o overthrow_v the_o governor_n of_o this_o nation_n because_o hereof_o and_o this_o we_o have_v foresee_v and_o prophesy_v of_o even_o that_o judgement_n and_o confusion_n will_v come_v upon_o the_o government_n the_o ruler_n and_o the_o teacher_n but_o particular_o when_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n judgement_n and_o overthrow_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o lord_n who_o have_v bring_v to_o pass_v his_o own_o will_n according_a to_o justice_n and_o it_o may_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o just_a judgement_n from_o the_o lord_n upon_o the_o unfaithful_a and_o treacherous_a and_o unjust_a ruler_n and_o teacher_n and_o people_n which_o i_o have_v mention_v and_o the_o lord_n may_v just_o avenge_v himself_o upon_o they_o who_o have_v abuse_v his_o mercy_n and_o not_o improve_v his_o deliverance_n to_o his_o glory_n but_o pervert_v the_o end_n wherefore_o they_o be_v at_o first_o raise_v up_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n may_v just_o be_v avenge_v of_o they_o by_o this_o mean_n of_o this_o man_n comingin_n and_o he_o may_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n a_o very_a smite_v rod_n to_o correct_v and_o rebuke_v and_o may_v be_v a_o heavy_a judgement_n upon_o many_o in_o this_o nation_n even_o from_o that_o cause_n and_o for_o that_o end_n as_o before_o i_o have_v express_v quer._n 2._o whether_o you_o or_o any_o of_o you_o do_v adjudge_v it_o reasonable_a and_o equitable_a that_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o inherit_v the_o nation_n of_o

this_o be_v just_a and_o in_o this_o particular_a do_v lie_v the_o reason_n and_o equity_n of_o his_o come_n in_o to_o inherit_v this_o nation_n and_o as_o for_o reign_v just_o over_o this_o nation_n that_o may_v better_o be_v answer_v when_o we_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o his_o reign_n for_o if_o he_o reign_v and_o rule_n in_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n in_o mercy_n and_o in_o justice_n and_o by_o and_o according_a to_o the_o just_a law_n of_o god_n if_o thus_o he_o reign_v than_o he_o reign_v just_o and_o it_o be_v just_a to_o god_n and_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v reign_v and_o
