up_o with_o the_o scurvy_a employment_n of_o a_o hog-driver_n for_o be_v it_o not_o a_o sad_a thing_n dear_o belove_v that_o where_o a_o man_n generous_o offer_v to_o hang_v half_a for_o a_o kingdom_n and_o consequent_o to_o ease_v it_o of_o a_o world_n of_o troubleso_fw-la i_o fellow_n that_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o it_o he_o shall_v be_v brow_n beat_v by_o a_o saucy_a judge_n or_o cross-examined_n by_o any_o of_o your_o impertinent_a counsellor_n that_o will_v have_v a_o oar_n in_o every_o man_n boat_n and_o at_o last_o for_o twelve_o illiterate_a rascal_n call_v the_o jury_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o bill_n ignoramus_n forsooth_o after_o a_o man_n have_v be_v at_o the_o expense_n of_o contrive_v and_o tack_v together_o a_o plausible_a story_n and_o perhaps_o swear_v till_o he_o be_v black_a in_o the_o face_n i_o will_v have_v hang_v sir_n george_n wakeman_n and_o the_o popish_a lord_n and_o parson_n eliot_n and_o a_o thousand_o more_o that_o i_o can_v think_v of_o at_o present_a but_o the_o government_n i_o thank_v they_o be_v such_o fool_n as_o to_o obstruct_v my_o design_n for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v all_o that_o lay_v in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o evidence_n to_o do_v but_o some_o person_n that_o shall_v be_v nameless_a will_v not_o let_v i_o go_v through_o stitch_n with_o my_o work_n and_o therefore_o if_o popery_n be_v not_o ruin_v root_n and_o branch_n they_o have_v none_o to_o blame_v but_o themselves_o they_o will_v not_o reverse_v my_o sentence_n when_o it_o may_v have_v be_v for_o the_o common_a advantage_n and_o when_o my_o friend_n solicit_v it_o so_o now_o i_o do_v care_v a_o groat_n if_o it_o continue_v on_o till_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n for_o though_o perhaps_o i_o may_v not_o meet_v with_o my_o due_a reward_n in_o this_o world_n yet_o those_o that_o thorough_o know_v i_o say_v i_o shall_v certain_o find_v it_o in_o the_o next_o have_v i_o presume_v clear_v these_o four_o point_n to_o your_o satisfaction_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v a_o word_n to_o some_o objection_n that_o may_v be_v raise_v either_o against_o the_o truth_n of_o my_o evidence_n or_o the_o freedom_n of_o my_o language_n in_o call_v a_o spade_n a_o spade_n or_o last_o against_o my_o leave_v the_o church_n of_o england_n whereof_o i_o have_v profess_v myself_o to_o be_v a_o member_n several_a year_n to_o return_v to_o the_o religion_n of_o my_o forefather_n and_o join_v myself_o with_o the_o brethren_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n persuasion_n object_n the_o first_o if_o doctor_n your_o evidence_n be_v true_a say_v these_o gentleman_n how_o come_v it_o about_o then_o that_o among_o so_o many_o priest_n and_o papist_n of_o all_o sort_n that_o you_o hang_v not_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v own_v the_o crime_n for_o which_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o gallow_n but_o make_v a_o perpendicular_a leap_n to_o hell_n with_o a_o lie_n in_o his_o mouth_n whereas_o say_v they_o in_o george_n p_o r'_v plot_n all_o of_o they_o have_v the_o grace_n to_o confess_v the_o fact_n for_o which_o they_o die_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o suarez_n escobar_n and_o the_o whole_a herd_n of_o their_o casuist_n that_o a_o roman_n catholic_n may_v equivocate_v and_o perjure_v himself_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v so_o notorious_a a_o truth_n that_o i_o defy_v any_o rascal_n of_o a_o jesuit_n to_o deny_v it_o but_o people_n will_v reply_v if_o this_o be_v the_o stand_a doctrine_n of_o that_o communion_n how_o come_v charnock_n and_o rookwood_n to_o be_v without_o it_o or_o why_o shall_v they_o squeak_v any_o more_o than_o their_o predecessor_n therefore_o i_o affirm_v second_o that_o the_o season_n have_v be_v so_o confuse_v a_o ddisturbed_a and_o jumble_v ever_o since_o the_o late_a earthquake_n that_o as_o that_o great_a philosopher_n mr._n flamsted_n believe_v perhaps_o the_o axis_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o where_o it_o former_o stand_v so_o then_o if_o so_o solid_a a_o body_n as_o the_o earth_n have_v be_v remove_v from_o its_o centre_n what_o wonder_n be_v it_o if_o the_o church_n which_o be_v compose_v of_o weak_a waver_a uncertain_a man_n have_v likewise_o vary_v a_o little_a from_o its_o principle_n i_o can_v have_v wish_v indeed_o that_o all_o or_o at_o least_o some_o of_o my_o rascal_n have_v do_v the_o same_o as_o captain_n p_o r'_v rogue_n have_v do_v for_o it_o may_v have_v serve_v to_o corroborate_v my_o evidence_n however_o it_o be_v my_o comfort_n that_o the_o nation_n believe_v i_o without_o it_o and_o as_o we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o text_n faith_n be_v the_o evidence_n of_o thing_n not_o see_v object_n the_o second_o but_o doctor_n if_o you_o be_v a_o sincere_a christian_a say_v they_o why_o then_o do_v it_o you_o take_v more_o care_n to_o clap_v a_o padlock_n upon_o that_o unruly_a member_n your_o tongue_n why_o do_v you_o call_v rogue_n and_o rascal_n so_o plentiful_o since_o the_o gospel_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o man_n that_o use_v this_o pagan_a language_n even_o to_o his_o enemy_n will_v be_v trouble_v for_o it_o hereafter_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v easy_a and_o plain_a we_o must_v so_o interpret_v scripture_n as_o not_o to_o make_v one_o part_n of_o it_o clash_n with_o another_o now_o we_o be_v positive_o command_v in_o several_a place_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n of_o all_o person_n so_o that_o if_o a_o great_a man_n at_o court_n or_o a_o prelate_n in_o the_o church_n happen_v to_o be_v rascal_n pray_v who_o fault_n be_v it_o to_o give_v they_o their_o true_a title_n my_o father_n samuel_n be_v a_o honest_a weaver_n and_o his_o son_n titus_n here_o will_v be_v crucify_a over_o and_o over_o before_o he_o will_v turn_v the_o devil_n upholsterer_n and_o sow_v cushion_n to_o the_o elbow_n of_o iniquity_n though_o it_o wear_v a_o star_n and_o garter_n beside_o when_o this_o precept_n of_o not_o call_v our_o brother_n fool_n and_o so_o forth_o be_v give_v the_o church_n be_v but_o in_o its_o cradle_n or_o infancy_n and_o if_o it_o have_v any_o rogue_n they_o be_v but_o little_a diminutive_a one_o whereas_o the_o church_n be_v now_o grow_v to_o woman_n estate_n and_o consequent_o many_o of_o its_o child_n have_v arrive_v to_o their_o full_a stature_n in_o raskality_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o case_n the_o three_o and_z as_o they_o imagine_v the_o most_o terrible_a objection_n be_v still_o behind_o for_o doctor_n say_v these_o gentleman_n pray_v do_v we_o the_o favour_n to_o tell_v we_o what_o church_n you_o belong_v to_o that_o we_o may_v know_v where_o to_o find_v you_o first_o you_o be_v a_o plain_a primitive_a protestant_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n cut._n then_o you_o face_v about_o to_o the_o religion_n then_o in_o fashion_n go_v to_o the_o university_n and_o take_v order_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n after_o that_o you_o make_v a_o trip_v to_o st._n omers_n and_o salamanca_n swallow_v the_o eucharist_n as_o glib_o as_o your_o father_n do_v the_o scotch_a covenant_n and_o be_v a_o most_o zealous_a papist_n this_o will_v not_o satisfy_v your_o turn_n but_o in_o a_o few_o year_n you_o veer_v about_o to_o the_o old_a point_n and_o hang_v all_o the_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n that_o come_v in_o your_o way_n then_o you_o show_v a_o strange_a warble_n in_o your_o gut_n to_o be_v a_o presbyterian_a now_o at_o last_o you_o herd_n among_o the_o anabaptist_n on_o sunday_n but_o all_o the_o week_n wear_v the_o ungodly_a livery_n of_o the_o establish_v church_n so_o that_o say_v they_o you_o be_v a_o perfect_a riddle_n and_o mystery_n to_o we_o and_o the_o devil_n only_o can_v tell_v where_o to_o have_v you_o to_o this_o heavy_a charge_n i_o reply_v that_o ever_o since_o i_o know_v my_o right_a hand_n from_o my_o left_a i_o careful_o observe_v the_o golden_a rule_n of_o be_v ill_o to_o all_o man_n that_o i_o may_v gain_v some_o money_n as_o for_o my_o go_v to_o st._n omers_n and_o pretend_v to_o be_v a_o proselyte_n to_o their_o church_n it_o be_v a_o mere_a trick_n of_o youth_n and_o no_o more_o i_o only_o do_v it_o with_o a_o design_n to_o fathom_v their_o dark_a intrigue_n and_o if_o possible_a to_o break_v the_o neck_n of_o they_o which_o i_o think_v i_o perfect_o perform_v for_o i_o truss_v up_o their_o priest_n by_o dozen_o in_o consideration_n of_o these_o service_n the_o nation_n give_v i_o a_o title_n not_o inferior_a to_o that_o of_o the_o great_a hero_n and_o call●d_v i_o their_o saviour_n and_o deliverer_n if_o papist_n will_v equivocate_v with_o we_o protestant_n why_o shall_v not_o we_o protestant_n turn_v their_o equivocate_a canon_n upon_o they_o and_o maul_v they_o with_o their_o own_o arms._n judith_n out_o off_o holofernes_n head_n but_o how_o not_o with_o her_o own_o sword_n i_o trow_v because_o she_o be_v a_o woman_n and_o wear_v none_o but_o with_o holofernes_n own_o tilter_n and_o yet_o we_o find_v she_o commend_v for_o it_o but_o then_o say_v they_o if_o it_o have_v be_v your_o luck_n to_o have_v troop_v off_o when_o you_o live_v in_o a_o idolatrous_a communion_n what_o have_v become_v of_o you_o then_o why_o perhaps_o i_o have_v be_v damn_v but_o what_o of_o all_o that_o if_o i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o hazard_v the_o go_n to_o the_o devil_n in_o order_n to_o save_v the_o nation_n i_o humble_o conceive_v they_o ought_v to_o
