A88579	A cleare and necessary vindication of the principles and practices of me Christopher Love, since my tryall before, and condemnation by, the High Court of Iustice. Whereby it is manifested, that a close prison, a long sword, a High Court, and a bloody scaffold, have not in the least altered my judgment. Whereas also the cruelty of the sentence, the insufficiency of the proofs, and my own innocency, are demonstrated. As also my grounds and reasons of giving in a narrative, and the lawfulness of the matter and titles of my petitions (though to usurpers) manifested and maintained. Together with a declaration of my judgement concerning Cromwells unlawfull invasion of the kingdom of Scotland. Written by me Christopher Love, Master of Arts, minister of Lawrence Iury, London; penned by me the eighth of August, fourteen days before my death.	Love, Christopher, 1618-1651.	1651 (1651)	Wing L3148; Thomason E790_5; ESTC R202748	58,288	49

narrative_a confess_v against_o other_o man_n when_o before_o i_o do_v refuse_v to_o do_v it_o to_o this_o also_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o brief_a yet_o satisfactory_a account_n it_o be_v true_a before_o i_o be_v condemn_v i_o will_v not_o accuse_v any_o man_n because_o than_o my_o testimony_n haply_o will_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o valid_a in_o law_n against_o they_o so_o that_o in_o that_o case_n i_o have_v rather_o lay_v down_o my_o own_o life_n than_o be_v instrumental_a in_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o another_o man_n i_o may_v have_v have_v my_o own_o life_n give_v i_o for_o a_o prey_n will_v i_o have_v but_o inform_v against_o other_o man_n and_o so_o devote_v their_o life_n for_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o the_o bloody_a rage_n of_o man_n but_o ●_z still_o withstand_v it_o i_o then_o be_v and_o still_o be_o of_o this_o principle_n to_o judge_v it_o better_a to_o be_v a_o sufferer_n with_o the_o brethren_n than_o a_o accuser_n of_o the_o brethren_n especial_o when_o my_o accusation_n may_v turn_v in_o the_o least_o to_o their_o prejudice_n the_o reason_n which_o sway_v with_o i_o to_o name_v other_o man_n in_o my_o narrative_n be_v these_o 1._o because_o my_o testimony_n be_v a_o condemn_a man_n be_v not_o valid_a in_o law_n and_o so_o can_v do_v they_o no_o harm_n as_o to_o estate_n or_o life_n 2._o i_o do_v name_n those_o person_n only_o who_o be_v already_o discover_v and_o certain_o know_v to_o those_o in_o power_n shall_v i_o go_v about_o to_o vindicate_v they_o i_o shall_v do_v they_o no_o good_a and_o now_o i_o do_v nominate_v they_o i_o can_v do_v they_o no_o hurt_n 3._o most_o of_o the_o person_n i_o have_v name_v have_v give_v i_o their_o consent_n that_o i_o shall_v name_v they_o so_o that_o themselves_o be_v judge_n they_o think_v i_o can_v do_v they_o no_o injury_n 4._o most_o of_o the_o person_n i_o have_v name_v in_o my_o narrative_a have_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n confess_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o than_o i_o have_v speak_v concerning_o they_o yea_o before_o i_o have_v send_v in_o my_o narrative_a for_o i_o be_o one_o of_o the_o last_o though_o my_o danger_n be_v the_o great_a they_o have_v send_v in_o they_o and_o confess_v against_o themselves_o more_o than_o i_o have_v mention_v in_o my_o narrative_a thus_o i_o have_v speak_v as_o brief_o as_o the_o matter_n will_v permit_v to_o justify_v the_o title_n and_o matter_n of_o my_o petition_n and_o the_o give_n in_o of_o my_o narrative_a this_o i_o do_v because_o i_o will_v give_v no_o offence_n either_o to_o jew_n or_o gentile_a or_o the_o church_n of_o god_n there_o be_v other_o scandalous_a aspersion_n and_o slanderous_a report_n cast_v upon_o i_o which_o i_o must_v endeavour_v to_o satisfy_v the_o world_n about_o i_o have_v public_o make_v 3._o solemn_a and_o true_a protestation_n both_o on_o the_o first_o and_o last_o day_n of_o my_o appear_n before_o the_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n the_o truth_n whereof_o i_o still_o stand_v to_o maintain_v it_o be_v bruit_v abroad_o that_o both_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o witness_n and_o by_o my_o own_o confession_n i_o have_v contradict_v my_o own_o protestation_n which_o be_v most_o notorious_o false_a i_o do_v therefore_o in_o the_o end_n of_o my_o trial_n declare_v that_o it_o be_v my_o rejoice_v that_o though_o 8._o witness_n come_v in_o against_o i_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o do_v contradict_v or_o falsify_v my_o 3._o protestation_n i_o have_v rather_o die_v than_o any_o shall_v make_v my_o glory_v void_a yea_o i_o have_v much_o rather_o be_v make_v a_o sufferer_n than_o a_o liar_n in_o go_v about_o to_o vindicate_v myself_o in_o these_o particular_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o make_v these_o protestation_n because_o the_o charge_n be_v so_o black_a and_o foul_a against_o i_o of_o correspond_v with_o the_o king_n queen_n jermin_n and_o piercy_n of_o raise_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n for_o the_o scot_n to_o maintain_v a_o war_n against_o this_o nation_n etc._n etc._n to_o remove_v prejudice_n from_o the_o mind_n of_o my_o judge_n and_o of_o the_o hearer_n then_o present_a i_o do_v make_v these_o three_o protestation_n the_o truth_n whereof_o i_o stand_v now_o to_o justify_v and_o seal_v with_o my_o blood_n 1._o the_o first_o protestation_n i_o make_v before_o the_o high-court_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o i_o never_o write_v any_o letter_n either_o to_o the_o king_n of_o scot_n or_o the_o queen_n his_o mother_n or_o to_o the_o church_n or_o state_n of_o scotland_n or_o to_o any_o particular_a person_n of_o the_o scotish_a nation_n since_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o war_n between_o england_n and_o scotland_n to_o this_o day_n this_o first_o petition_n have_v not_o be_v falsify_v either_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o my_o accuser_n or_o my_o own_o confession_n none_o of_o the_o 8._o witness_n do_v prove_v that_o i_o ever_o write_v a_o letter_n yet_o i_o confess_v i_o do_v write_v one_o to_o massey_n in_o scotland_n and_o another_o to_o bamfield_n in_o holland_n yet_o my_o protestation_n be_v not_o falsify_v for_o they_o be_v both_o of_o the_o english_a not_o of_o the_o scotish_a nation_n though_o i_o do_v write_v to_o massey_n who_o be_v in_o the_o scotish_a nation_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o of_o the_o scotish_a nation_n so_o my_o protestation_n hold_v true_a 2._o my_o second_o protestation_n be_v this_o that_o i_o never_o receive_v any_o letter_n write_v to_o i_o either_o from_o the_o king_n of_o scotland_n on_o the_o queen_n his_o mother_n or_o the_o church_n or_o state_n of_o scotland_n in_o the_o general_a or_o from_o any_o other_o particular_a person_n of_o the_o scotish_a nation_n from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o war_n between_o the_o two_o nation_n to_o this_o day_n this_o protestation_n be_v true_a also_o and_o have_v not_o be_v contradict_v by_o my_o own_o confession_n or_o any_o of_o the_o witness_n only_o capt._n potter_n do_v swear_v that_o he_o receive_v a_o letter_n from_o colonel_n bamfield_n with_o a_o great_a l._n on_o it_o and_o that_o there_o be_v enclose_v letter_n from_o 4_o scotish_a lord_n and_o from_o mr._n baily_n a_o scotish_a minister_n he_o say_v in_o his_o examination_n before_o the_o committee_n of_o the_o council_n of_o state_n that_o he_o conceive_v the_o letter_n from_o bamfield_n be_v write_v to_o i_o but_o before_o the_o high-court_n be_v on_o his_o oath_n he_o can_v not_o say_v so_o nay_o he_o say_v he_o think_v it_o be_v not_o write_v to_o i_o nor_o can_v i_o imagine_v why_o colonel_n bamfield_n shall_v write_v to_o i_o for_o i_o have_v never_o hear_v from_o he_o or_o write_v to_o he_o before_o nor_o do_v i_o ever_o see_v his_o face_n but_o if_o bomfields_n letter_n with_o a_o great_a l._n write_v on_o it_o have_v be_v write_v to_o i_o yet_o my_o protestation_n be_v not_o contradict_v for_o bamfield_n be_v a_o english_a man_n not_o a_o scotch_a man_n now_o my_o proteftation_n be_v that_o i_o receive_v no_o letter_n write_v to_o i_o from_o any_o of_o the_o scotish_a nation_n since_o the_o war_n begin_v moreover_o the_o letter_n from_o the_o 4_o scotch_a lord_n and_o mr._n baily_n the_o scotch_a minister_n which_o be_v enclose_v in_o bamfield_n letter_n have_v not_o a_o great_a l._n write_v on_o they_o as_o bamfield_n letter_n have_v and_o be_v not_o write_v to_o i_o and_o have_v those_o letter_n from_o the_o scotch_a lord_n and_o the_o scotch_a minister_n be_v write_v to_o i_o which_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o my_o protestation_n be_v not_o falsify_v for_o captain_n potter_n receive_v they_o open_v they_o read_v they_o before_o he_o show_v they_o to_o i_o he_o keep_v they_o and_o carry_v they_o away_o as_o be_v confess_v in_o open_a court_n but_o i_o do_v neither_o nor_o do_v i_o write_v a_o answer_n to_o those_o letter_n from_o the_o scotch_a lord_n or_o the_o scotch_a minister_n indeed_o i_o do_v write_v to_o bamfield_n in_o holland_n but_o he_o be_v of_o the_o english_a not_o of_o the_o scotish_a nation_n so_o my_o protestation_n not_o contradict_v my_o three_o protestation_n be_v this_o that_o i_o never_o collect_v give_v or_o lend_v ●ne_n penny_n of_o money_n to_o send_v into_o scotland_n or_o any_o foreign_a part_n either_o to_o the_o king_n queen_n church_n or_o state_n of_o scotland_n or_o to_o any_o particular_a person_n of_o the_o scotish_a nation_n since_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o war_n unto_o this_o day_n as_o to_o these_o three_o particular_n i_o have_v say_v it_o and_o do_v say_v it_o again_o i_o be_o as_o innocent_a as_o my_o harmless_a child_n that_o be_v not_o 3_o year_n old_a this_o three_o protestation_n be_v true_a also_o though_o i_o do_v send_v 5_o l._n to_o one_o bamfi●ld_v in_o holland_n and_o 10_o l._n to_o massey_n in_o

article_n we_o promise_v to_o endeavour_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n but_o

blemish_v the_o very_a name_n and_o destroy_v the_o very_a face_n of_o religion_n and_o have_v they_o not_o divide_v the_o king_n from_o his_o people_n not_o only_o by_o interrupt_v his_o agreement_n

of_o the_o covenant_n it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o article_n of_o the_o treaty_n between_o both_o kingdom_n for_o this_o be_v one_o among_o the_o rest_n that_o one_o nation_n shall_v not_o wage_v

6._o i_o may_v draw_v the_o six_o reason_n from_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o parliament_n when_o free_a and_o full_a they_o be_v still_o averse_a to_o any_o breach_n with_o and_o war_n against_o

the_o king_n and_o bishop_n do_v raise_v against_o the_o scot_n at_o first_o the_o king_n soldier_n be_v but_o ignorant_a and_o profane_a these_o many_o of_o they_o heretic_n and_o blasphemer_n

it_o be_v not_o when_o scotland_n be_v overrun_v with_o malignity_n during_o the_o time_n of_o hambletons_n prevalency_n but_o it_o be_v when_o the_o power_n of_o that_o kingdom_n be_v in_o the_o

to_o bring_v their_o person_n in_o vassalage_n and_o thraldom_n as_o to_o their_o civil_a liberty_n 3._o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o slight_a ground_n cromwell_n have_v to_o invade_v scotland_n because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v a_o commonwealth_n therefore_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o people_n because_o they_o will_v not_o break_v their_o covenant_n therefore_o

for_o a_o scriptural_a presbytery_n and_o a_o well-regulated_a monarchy_n for_o find_v doctrine_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o cromwell_n be_v so_o much_o their_o enemy_n whatever_o else_o may_v be_v pretend_v ●et_v these_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n why_o cromwell_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o jesuited_a spanish_a faction_n do_v invade_v the_o neighbour_n nation_n 4._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o wicked_a end_n cromwell_n aim_v at_o in_o his_o invade_v scotland_n viz._n mere_o to_o satisfy_v his_o ambitious_a and_o covetous_a desire_n to_o be_v absolute_a lord_n of_o the_o estate_n liberty_n and_o life_n of_o all_o the_o people_n in_o these_o 3._o nation_n it_o do_v not_o content_v he_o to_o have_v one_o kingdom_n viz._n
