our_o peaceable_a meeting_n have_v be_v keep_v for_o they_o have_v much_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n against_o we_o and_o some_o have_v ready_o answer_v their_o desire_n herein_o and_o especial_o

the_o penalty_n in_o the_o late_a act_n for_o it_o be_v know_v we_o be_v and_o have_v be_v all_o along_o a_o peaceable_a people_n ever_o since_o the_o lord_n raise_v we_o up_o and_o the_o nation_n have_v have_v great_a experience_n of_o the_o same_o and_o so_o it_o be_v altogether_o unequitable_a and_o unjust_a even_o the_o present_a proceed_n of_o those_o which_o do_v daily_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o conscience_n towards_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o bless_a worship_n which_o he_o have_v clear_o make_v know_v unto_o we_o although_o we_o may_v not_o have_v a_o common_a prayer-book_n to_o read_v among_o people_n as_o judge_n rainsford_n will_v seem_v to_o incense_v the_o jury_n and_o other_o that_o we_o be_v breaker_n of_o the_o late_a act_n because_o we_o use_v not_o the_o common_a prayer_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v let_v we_o see_v the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitablenesse_n of_o those_o thing_n and_o we_o can_v like_o the_o dog_n

this_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o make_v know_v that_o so_o all_o may_v be_v inform_v concern_v these_o thing_n and_o come_v to_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n postscript_n and_o now_o all_o

that_o may_v make_v for_o the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o if_o the_o judge_n &_o juror_n do_v but_o understand_v themselves_o they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o people_n may_v see_v that_o all_o this_o that_o be_v do_v against_o we_o be_v for_o worship_v of_o god_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n in_o which_o way_n we_o worship_v the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o for_o so_o do_v be_v we_o expose_v unto_o this_o cruel_a sentence_n even_o to_o be_v banish_v out_o of_o our_o native_a

and_o indeed_o we_o may_v or_o can_v not_o expect_v but_o that_o the_o innocent_a shall_v be_v bring_v in_o guilty_a when_o as_o that_o wicked_a man_n william_n smith_n of_o hardingstone_n be_v the_o
