friendly_a to_o her_o own_o generation_n 5._o because_o they_o have_v not_o at_o any_o time_n forfeit_v their_o just_a liberty_n as_o englishman_n by_o contrive_v any_o plot_n or_o insurrection_n against_o the_o present_a government_n as_o experience_n all_o along_o have_v show_v 6._o because_o they_o have_v a_o right_n in_o the_o king_n word_n and_o promise_n concern_v liberty_n unto_o

7._o because_o they_o be_v a_o harmless_a people_n and_o give_v no_o just_a occasion_n of_o offence_n unto_o any_o neither_o can_v any_o true_a proof_n be_v give_v against_o they_o concern_v any_o

in_o a_o high_a degree_n now_o let_v these_o truth_n be_v well_o consider_v and_o the_o heat_n of_o violence_n stay_v for_o there_o be_v no_o just_a cause_n give_v by_o we_o why_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o do_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o be_v very_o clear_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o we_o have_v not_o forfeit_v our_o just_a liberty_n in_o our_o native_a land_n but_o have_v as_o good_a right_n

we_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o such_o high_a concernment_n for_o our_o not_o submit_v to_o the_o requiring_n of_o man_n in_o case_n of_o conscience_n be_v only_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o command_n or_o christ_n jesus_n and_o our_o testimony_n be_v in_o meekness_n and_o fear_n and_o not_o in_o wilfulness_n and_o stubornness_n and_o we_o be_v wrong_v when_o such_o reproach_n be_v cast_v upon_o we_o though_o such_o as_o fit_a to_o be_v our_o judge_n have_v their_o liberty_n to_o speak_v and_o to_o interrupt_v our_o answer_n and_o what_o will_v you_o have_v from_o we_o that_o you_o have_v not_o to_o give_v you_o better_a assurance_n of_o our_o allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n can_v any_o thing_n more_o evident_o demonstrate_v it_o than_o our_o peaceableness_n a_o thousand_o

government_n for_o what_o can_v more_o clear_o manfe_v our_o subjection_n to_o his_o kingly_a power_n than_o our_o willingness_n to_o render_v unto_o he_o our_o tax_n and_o tribute_n and_o have_v these_o thing_n render_v by_o we_o you_o may_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v enough_o and_o as_o much_o as_o you_o be_v reasonable_o to_o expect_v from_o we_o and_o it_o do_v sufficient_o clear_v we_o from_o all_o supposition_n concern_v our_o seek_n to_o subvert_v the_o government_n and_o herein_o we_o manifest_v our_o subjection_n to_o the_o king_n in_o live_v peaceable_o and_o give_v he_o that_o which_o be_v his_o due_n but_o the_o rule_n and_o government_n of_o our_o conscience_n we_o can_v give_v into_o his_o hand_n nor_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o any_o man_n for_o that_o be_v peculiar_a unto_o christ_n jesus_n and_o he_o alone_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n in_o our_o conscience_n and_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o call_v his_o power_n in_o question_n nor_o to_o punish_v we_o for_o obey_v his_o doctrine_n and_o command_n for_o by_o faith_n in_o his_o doctrine_n and_o command_n we_o live_v and_o we_o dare_v not_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o it_o but_o in_o his_o love_n be_v constrain_v to_o
