avenge_v for_o our_o eye_n which_o they_o have_v think_v to_o pull_v out_o but_o also_o that_o the_o house_n of_o false_a worship_n which_o be_v erect_v upon_o this_o mountain_n may_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n i_o hear_v some_o say_n minister_n for_o all_o your_o say_n the_o mountain_n will_v not_o come_v down_o at_o this_o time_n you_o think_v nothing_o but_o it_o will_v down_o i_o assure_v you_o i_o will_v have_v it_o down_o but_o you_o must_v not_o think_v we_o that_o silly_a as_o to_o think_v that_o it_o will_v come_v down_o because_o we_o have_v many_o for_o we_o we_o trust_v not_o in_o man_n but_o in_o god_n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o time_n that_o god_n will_v have_v it_o down_o although_o you_o shall_v lay_v all_o your_o hand_n about_o their_o head_n they_o shall_v come_v down_o it_o appear_v they_o will_v come_v down_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o their_o pride_n avarice_n cruelty_n and_o loose_a live_v to_o pull_v they_o down_o especial_o when_o all_o these_o be_v come_v to_o height_n as_o they_o be_v come_v to_o in_o they_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o mountain_n you_o see_v we_o have_v reprove_v it_o god_n remove_v it_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o in_o the_o work_n the_o mountain_n be_v remove_v 1._o it_o be_v a_o work_n grow_v and_o go_v up_o he_o shall_v bring_v forth_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o work_n finish_v he_o shall_v bring_v forth_o

of_o all_o these_o three_o short_o first_o it_o be_v a_o work_n go_v up_o it_o be_v impede_v but_o now_o it_o be_v go_v up_o there_o be_v something_o here_o very_o considerable_a the_o work_n go_v not_o up_o until_o the_o mountain_n be_v make_v a_o plain_n the_o mountain_n must_v not_o be_v pair_v or_o top_v but_o it_o must_v altogether_o become_v plain_a otherways_o the_o work_n can_v go_v up_o the_o mountain_n of_o prelacy_n must_v not_o be_v pair_v nor_o top_v something_o take_v away_o but_o it_o must_v be_v bring_v down_o whole_o otherways_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n can_v go_v on_o neither_o christ_n house_n go_v up_o it_o will_v be_v say_v what_o ail_v you_o you_o shall_v have_v your_o desire_n but_o the_o estate_n of_o bishop_n must_v stand_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o bring_v it_o down_o altogether_o the_o king_n may_v not_o want_v a_o estate_n true_o a_o good_a one_o both_o to_o kirk_n and_o common_a wealth_n you_o shall_v have_v they_o bring_v within_o the_o old_a bound_n and_o caveat_n set_v down_o to_o they_o they_o shall_v not_o hurt_v the_o kirk_n any_o more_o the_o lord_n know_v how_o loath_a i_o be_v to_o speak_v from_o this_o place_n but_o see_v god_n have_v thrust_v i_o out_o i_o must_v speak_v the_o truth_n i_o say_v to_o you_o these_o quarter_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v because_o the_o mountainis_fw-la not_o of_o god_n make_v but_o of_o man_n and_o therefore_o make_v it_o what_o way_n you_o will_v god_n will_v be_v displease_v with_o it_o yea_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o set_v caveat_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o i_o appeal_v to_o all_o your_o conscience_n be_v it_o possible_a to_o set_v caveat_n to_o their_o pride_n and_o avarice_n their_o pride_n and_o avarice_n will_v break_v through_o ten_o thousand_o caveat_n i_o will_v clear_v this_o impossibility_n by_o similitude_n tell_v i_o if_o a_o fountain_n in_o the_o town_n of_o edinburgh_n be_v poison_v whether_o be_v it_o more_o safe_a to_o stop_v up_o the_o fountain_n than_o to_o set_v a_o guard_n to_o keep_v it_o that_o none_o draw_v out_o of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v hope_v the_o poison_n will_v do_v no_o harm_n there_o be_v no_o man_n of_o a_o sound_a judgement_n but_o he_o will_v think_v it_o more_o safe_a to_o stop_v up_o the_o fountain_n than_o to_o guard_v it_o this_o prelacy_n be_v the_o poison_a fountain_n wherefrom_o the_o kirk_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v poison_v with_o the_o poison_n of_o error_n and_o superstition_n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v safe_a to_o stop_v it_o up_o than_o to_o guard_v it_o sure_o it_o be_v safe_a to_o stop_v it_o up_o for_o all_o the_o caveat_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o keep_v the_o kirk_n unpoison_v so_o long_o as_o it_o remain_v i_o will_v give_v you_o another_o similitude_n if_o the_o town_n of_o edinburgh_n be_v as_o many_o town_n have_v be_v and_o be_v take_v and_o possess_v by_o cruel_a and_o obstinate_a enemy_n who_o will_v take_v all_o your_o liberty_n from_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v your_o magistrate_n to_o judge_v and_o will_v spoil_v you_o of_o your_o good_n and_o use_v all_o the_o cruelty_n that_o can_v be_v devise_v against_o the_o inhabitant_n if_o god_n give_v you_o occasion_n to_o be_v free_a of_o such_o a_o cruel_a and_o obstinate_a enemy_n what_o will_v you_o do_v if_o this_o be_v propon_v to_o you_o why_o may_v not_o you_o suffer_v the_o enemy_n to_o abide_v within_o the_o town_n we_o shall_v take_v all_o their_o weapon_n from_o they_o they_o shall_v never_o hurt_v you_o any_o more_o will_v you_o not_o think_v it_o far_o better_a to_o put_v they_o out_o of_o the_o town_n altogether_o both_o because_o the_o inhabitant_n will_v be_v in_o fear_n so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o town_n and_o because_o the_o town_n will_v never_o be_v sure_a for_o there_o may_v be_v traitor_n among_o yourselves_o who_o will_v steal_v in_o weapon_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o so_o they_o will_v bring_v you_o under_o the_o former_a tyranny_n yea_o under_o a_o great_a even_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n the_o cruel_a and_o great_a enemy_n that_o ever_o the_o kirk_n of_o scotland_n see_v be_v those_o prelate_n they_o have_v spoil_v we_o of_o all_o our_o

may_v you_o not_o let_v they_o abide_v within_o the_o kirk_n we_o shall_v take_v all_o their_o weapon_n from_o they_o as_o admission_n of_o minister_n excommunication_n and_o that_o terrible_a
