their_o apprehension_n of_o our_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n take_v occasion_n against_o we_o and_o persecute_v and_o spoil_v we_o whilst_o they_o themselves_o be_v the_o transgressor_n and_o that_o by_o their_o own_o law_n which_o say_v the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n say_v thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o but_o he_o that_o will_v imprison_v he_o and_o spoil_v his_o good_n and_o persecute_v he_o do_v not_o love_v he_o so_o be_v a_o transgressor_n but_o we_o be_v free_a and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o charge_n guilt_n upon_o we_o nor_o condemn_v we_o in_o the_o thing_n we_o practise_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o such_o as_o act_v against_o we_o be_v the_o transgressor_n and_o whatsoever_o stand_v for_o law_n this_o day_n which_o do_v condemn_v our_o practice_n and_o punish_v we_o for_o the_o use_n of_o it_o the_o same_o do_v differ_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o so_o degenerate_v from_o that_o conclusion_n which_o the_o law_n itself_o make_v and_o in_o plain_a word_n express_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o through_o the_o miscarriage_n of_o man_n towards_o we_o who_o will_n have_v wrest_v the_o law_n in_o divers_a case_n we_o have_v through_o such_o thing_n deep_o suffer_v and_o yet_o the_o yoke_n be_v continue_v upon_o we_o and_o our_o innocency_n be_v make_v a_o prey_n upon_o for_o we_o be_v a_o quiet_a people_n and_o dispose_v in_o the_o principle_n of_o love_n towards_o all_o man_n and_o can_v seek_v revenge_n upon_o any_o therefore_o be_v our_o affliction_n increase_v whether_o with_o law_n or_o without_o law_n or_o against_o law_n it_o be_v not_o by_o many_o much_o regard_v as_o in_o divers_a case_n may_v be_v true_o instance_a which_o be_v at_o present_a wave_v and_o see_v that_o the_o law_n itself_o do_v make_v such_o a_o conclusion_n of_o its_o own_o stand_n that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n then_o to_o examine_v a_o little_a some_o particular_n and_o place_n in_o it_o if_o in_o all_o thing_n it_o have_v perfect_a agreement_n with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v pure_a holy_a just_a and_o good_a and_o as_o it_o have_v be_v show_v that_o the_o practice_n in_o divers_a case_n do_v degenerate_a from_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n so_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n may_v degenerate_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n speak_v on_o this_o wise_a 1._o thou_o shall_v not_o bow_v to_o any_o grave_a image_n nor_o the_o likeness_n of_o any_o thing_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v set_v up_o and_o not_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v grave_v out_o of_o a_o imagination_n and_o be_v a_o image_n and_o to_o bow_v unto_o that_o thing_n be_v to_o bow_v unto_o a_o grave_a image_n and_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n do_v restrain_v from_o such_o a_o practice_n than_o it_o stand_v right_a but_o if_o it_o do_v allow_v such_o thing_n or_o rather_o compel_v people_n to_o practice_v such_o thing_n then_o do_v it_o degenerate_a from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n 2._o the_o law_n of_o god_n say_v thou_o shall_v not_o take_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o vain_a and_o to_o swear_v by_o his_o name_n be_v to_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a and_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n do_v restrain_v people_n from_o all_o manner_n of_o oath_n than_o it_o stand_v right_a but_o if_o it_o do_v allow_v such_o thing_n or_o rather_o in_o some_o case_n compel_v into_o such_o thing_n then_o do_v it_o degenerate_a from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n 3._o christ_n jesus_n the_o lawgiver_n say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o and_o to_o love_n god_n be_v to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o to_o love_v a_o neighbour_n as_o to_o love_v a_o man_n self_n be_v to_o do_v he_o good_a and_o not_o to_o harm_v he_o now_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n do_v encourage_v such_o thing_n than_o it_o stand_v right_a but_o if_o it_o do_v allow_v the_o break_n of_o god_n command_n and_o teach_v man_n so_o or_o if_o it_o do_v allow_v one_o neighbour_n to_o spoil_v the_o good_n of_o another_o or_o in_o some_o case_n rather_o compel_v such_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v than_o it_o do_v degenerate_a from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n jesus_n 4._o christ_n jesus_n the_o lawgiver_n say_v god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o must_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n now_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n do_v allow_v such_o a_o worship_n and_o protect_v it_o than_o it_o stand_v right_a but_o if_o it_o do_v prohibit_v it_o or_o rather_o compel_v from_o it_o than_o it_o do_v degenerate_a from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o this_o case_n two_o thing_n be_v very_o considerable_a to_o be_v mind_v and_o not_o to_o be_v practise_v 1._o not_o to_o bind_v people_n conscience_n into_o any_o practice_n or_o into_o any_o worship_n which_o in_o their_o own_o conscience_n they_o be_v not_o persuade_v into_o nor_o to_o compel_v a_o conformity_n unto_o any_o practice_n or_o worship_n which_o stand_v not_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o truth_n for_o to_o use_v force_n and_o compelling-law_n in_o such_o case_n be_v but_o to_o force_v people_n to_o bow_v unto_o a_o image_n or_o to_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o thing_n which_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v express_o forbid_v 2._o not_o to_o prohibit_v or_o forbid_v people_n for_o meet_v together_o in_o any_o place_n or_o at_o any_o time_n above_o such_o a_o number_n for_o this_o be_v to_o limit_n god_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a and_o to_o restrain_v tender_a conscience_n from_o their_o holy_a exercise_n in_o god_n spirit_n and_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o the_o pure_a worship_n which_o stand_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o truth_n only_o and_o to_o stop_v they_o from_o that_o practice_n which_o the_o father_n seek_v they_o to_o perform_v for_o christ_n say_v the_o father_n seek_v such_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o no_o law_n of_o the_o land_n ought_v to_o take_v place_n to_o diminish_v that_o liberty_n which_o any_o people_n have_v in_o the_o spirit_n nor_o to_o prohibit_v that_o worship_n that_o be_v perform_v to_o god_n in_o the_o spirit_n though_o in_o the_o practice_n there_o may_v be_v contrary_a mind_n among_o they_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n be_v free_a and_o without_o limitation_n and_o all_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v a_o freeborn_a people_n and_o their_o worship_n stand_v single_o to_o god_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o though_o there_o may_v be_v a_o difference_n in_o worship_n outward_o and_o among_o the_o worshipper_n in_o point_n of_o practice_n yet_o none_o ought_v by_o any_o outward_a law_n either_o to_o compel_v or_o prohibit_v each_o other_o for_o that_o be_v peculiar_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o no_o man_n be_v to_o stand_v up_o in_o judgement_n concern_v it_o or_o to_o bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o another_o by_o a_o outward_a law_n either_o to_o observe_v the_o one_o or_o to_o deny_v the_o other_o for_o whoever_o have_v outward_a power_n to_o rule_v and_o will_v set_v that_o power_n to_o judge_v in_o matter_n of_o conscience_n worship_n and_o religion_n and_o from_o their_o own_o judgement_n in_o such_o case_n make_v law_n to_o compel_v to_o one_o thing_n and_o to_o restrain_v from_o another_o thing_n such_o law_n do_v degenerate_a from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o from_o his_o life_n and_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o these_o thing_n consider_v and_o weigh_v it_o will_v be_v find_v of_o great_a necessity_n to_o search_v well_o into_o the_o law_n and_o where_o any_o be_v find_v to_o oppose_v the_o righteous_a law_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o stand_v in_o force_n in_o any_o such_o case_n to_o repeal_v they_o that_o so_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n may_v be_v reduce_v into_o the_o truth_n of_o its_o own_o say_n and_o stand_v in_o justice_n equity_n and_o mercy_n as_o do_v the_o law_n of_o god_n then_o persecution_n will_v cease_v about_o religion_n and_o there_o will_v be_v a_o stream_n of_o perfect_a liberty_n to_o all_o tender_a conscience_n and_o no_o restraint_n will_v be_v upon_o any_o in_o case_n of_o worship_n or_o religion_n otherways_o live_v peaceable_o in_o the_o nation_n so_o will_v heart_n and_o mind_n of_o man_n come_v into_o love_n into_o peace_n and_o into_o settlement_n and_o good_a order_n and_o it_o will_v allay_v all_o the_o heat_n and_o heartburning_n among_o man_n and_o cool_v they_o and_o quiet_v they_o and_o then_o there_o will_v not_o need_v sword_n and_o spear_n to_o preserve_v order_n for_o people_n come_v to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o themselves_o and_o worship_v and_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o every_o one_o stand_v in_o the_o spirit_n be_v liberty_n then_o people_n will_v settle_v and_o be_v quiet_a and_o love_v one_o another_o and_o be_v at_o peace_n one_o among_o another_o and_o there_o will_v be_v good_a order_n through_o the_o nation_n but_o this_o be_v want_v and_o compelling-law_n rule_v it_o make_v broil_n in_o the_o nation_n and_o cause_v distraction_n among_o people_n which_o will_v be_v prevent_v if_o liberty_n in_o matter_n of_o worship_n and_o religion_n be_v grant_v and_o tolerate_v and_o what_o harm_n will_v this_o do_v to_o any_o man_n or_o what_o prejudice_n can_v come_v to_o any_o man_n by_o so_o do_v surely_n none_o at_o all_o but_o rather_o happiness_n both_o to_o such_o as_o rule_v and_o such_o as_o be_v rule_v and_o the_o comfort_n of_o it_o will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v very_o great_a unto_o all_o that_o true_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o this_o be_v the_o liberty_n which_o the_o king_n prerogative_n be_v to_o defend_v according_a to_o the_o maxim_n of_o charles_n the_o first_o but_o however_o it_o have_v be_v or_o yet_o be_v with_o we_o in_o these_o case_n outward_o our_o trust_n be_v in_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o in_o he_o we_o do_v rejoice_v and_o we_o desire_v that_o all_o people_n be_v likeminded_a with_o we_o and_o be_v as_o we_o be_v except_o our_o bond_n and_o affliction_n for_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n be_v with_o we_o and_o by_o his_o arm_n we_o be_v support_v and_o through_o all_o these_o thing_n the_o truth_n stand_v and_o that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o all_o people_n truth_n stand_v and_o if_o any_o yet_o think_v with_o themselves_o that_o with_o their_o strength_n they_o can_v prevail_v against_o the_o truth_n then_o let_v they_o try_v their_o strength_n but_o let_v they_o also_o mind_n what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o it_o for_o this_o i_o know_v in_o the_o truth_n that_o whosoever_o rise_v against_o the_o truth_n will_v toil_v themselves_o in_o vain_a and_o spend_v their_o strength_n for_o nought_o and_o in_o the_o end_n will_v lie_v down_o in_o sorrow_n for_o truth_n stand_v and_o how_o many_o have_v come_v up_o and_o
