without * mocking God himself to his very face willfully violating this Evangelical precept contradicting the practice of all the Churches Saints of God in all ages places yea disclaiming Englands publike with our own private Interest and forfeiting our own eternal Interest in heaven as we are Saints and Christians I beseech all Christian Englishmen in the name and fear of God most seriously to

toleration protection to all Religions Sects Seducers almost to the total extirpation of the true Orthodox Reformed Religion throughout our Dominions To this I shall adde that as there neither is nor

whatsoever but only by the timely speedy restitution of every bone joynt member to its proper place and keeping them therein by strong astringent medicaments and ligaments So all our new State-physicians Chirurgions a Politicians Councils at Westminster Whitehall or in the Army with all their art skill for near 12. years space together by all their New-projected models of Republikes Parliaments Governments since the abolishing Kings and Kingship could not hitherto ease cure or restore to health the inverted broken bodies of our Church State which have grown every year more and
