A79492	The dissembling scot set forth in his coulours or a vindication of Lieu. Col. John Lilburn and others. From those aspersions cast upon them by David Brown in his idle pamphlet directed to the supream authority of England the parliament assembled, and presented to curry favor with them when Lilburn was fined in 7000 li. and sentenced to be banished out of England, Scotland and Ireland, &c. / Written by Samuel Chidley.

not_o subscribe_v it_o because_o i_o disown_v the_o title_n but_o i_o tell_v the_o house_n when_o i_o be_v examine_v at_o the_o bar_n that_o although_o i_o subscribe_v not_o the_o petition_n yet_o i_o

altogether_o fail_v of_o my_o desire_n and_o expectation_n but_o in_o this_o business_n of_o sir_n arthur_n hesleriges_n i_o meddle_v not_o have_v have_v matter_n of_o more_o public_a concernment_n to_o be_v exercise_v in_o and_o think_v that_o lilburne_n have_v such_o to_o assist_v he_o who_o be_v more_o skilful_a in_o the_o law_n of_o england_n then_o myself_o whereas_o the_o accuser_n say_v that_o print_v have_v be_v our_o chief_a weapon_n and_o by_o that_o occasion_n that_o we_o have_v great_a correspondency_n with_o printer_n and_o some_o of_o we_o ready_a to_o print_v what_o we_o

much_o to_o answer_v for_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n see_v for_o every_o idle_a word_n which_o a_o man_n shall_v speak_v he_o must_v answer_v for_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n so_o far_o be_o i_o from_o hold_v a_o correspondence_n with_o they_o that_o i_o pronounce_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n against_o they_o say_v woe_n unto_o you_o printer_n for_o you_o have_v much_o to_o answer_v for_o i_o have_v be_v more_o careful_a what_o i_o print_n than_o what_o i_o write_v or_o speak_v because_o if_o a_o man_n print_v a_o impression_n of_o fifteen_o hundred_o book_n peradventure_o they_o may_v be_v spread_v to_o 15000._o person_n and_o leven_a they_o all_o and_o its_o in_o a_o manner_n impossible_a to_o recall_v they_o now_o whosoever_o read_v the_o last_o lease_n of_o this_o our_o accuser_n pamphlet_n will_v have_v occasion_n to_o think_v the_o man_n not_o to_o be_v of_o very_o deep_a judgement_n for_o though_o the_o press_n be_v free_a for_o all_o man_n both_o knave_n and_o fool_n as_o well_o as_o wise_a man_n provide_v they_o put_v their_o name_n to_o it_o and_o the_o printer_n his_o name_n which_o be_v too_o large_a a_o latitude_n as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v yet_o our_o accuser_n will_v have_v the_o parliament_n order_n to_o print_v against_o we_o and_o lay_v down_o a_o positive_a law_n as_o if_o he_o and_o his_o family_n be_v a_o high_a commission_n or_o spanish_a inquisition_n yea_o and_o worse_o viz._n that_o whatsoever_o query_n they_o shall_v propound_v to_o we_o if_o we_o answer_v they_o not_o within_o the_o space_n of_o three_o month_n and_o a_o day_n shall_v be_v hold_v thenceforth_o as_o confess_v but_o if_o the_o parliament_n shall_v condescend_v to_o his_o base_a proposition_n we_o will_v not_o enslave_v ourselves_o to_o such_o a_o tyrannical_a law_n for_o we_o have_v learn_v of_o a_o wise_a not_o to_o answer_v a_o fool_n according_a to_o his_o folly_n nevertheless_o our_o accuser_n before_o he_o know_v whether_o we_o will_v enslave_v ourselves_o to_o his_o base_a proposition_n he_o promise_v with_o his_o family_n the_o like_a base_a condition_n against_o themselves_o so_o they_o have_v make_v
