KInd

Loving
Christian
Freind
;
J
kindly
salute
you
in
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
Beseeching
him
,
that
his
enlightning
spirit
,
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
may
both
now
and
ever
be
with
you
,
and
remaine
with
you
,
and
all
those
that
desire
to
serve
and
worship
God
,
in
all
his
commandements
,
according
to
his
revealed
will
,
&
not
according
to
mens
precepts
and
devices
,
which
is
odious
and
abominable
to
him
;

But
now
to
give
an
answer
to
that
which
you
desire
,
J
say
,
and
that
in
the
words
of
truth
,
that
the
thing
,
as
it
is
to
me
expressed
,
is
very
false
,
and
therefore
I
have
wrong
done
me
by
them
that
doe
report
it
;
and
I
would
desire
you
to
know
of
my
respected
Freind
the
party
that
told
you
who
they
are
that
did
report
it
.
It
seemes
they
say
,
that
I
have
said
,
that
I
would
as
soone
heare
the
devill
,
as
Doctor
Stoughton
,
or
M
:
Walker
,
which
thing
is
very
false
,
for
I
never
said
it
,
nor
medled
with
any
particular
persons
;
But
yet
thus
much
J
have
said
,
and
still
doe
affirme
and
maintaine
,
and
will
at
all
times
be
ready
to
make
it
good
,
and
seale
it
with
my
blood
:
That
the
Prelates
all
of
them
are
Limbs
of
the
Beast
,
spoken
of
Rev.
13
2.
and
also
,
that
all
those
Officers
and
Ministers
,
that
are
made
by
them
,
are
all
of
them
Antichristian
;
the
best
as
well
as
the
worst
;
And
we
have
as
good
warrant
to
heare
or
give
eare
to
the
worst
,
as
well
as
the
best
;
For
I
proved
in
my
speech
,
that
the
best
of
the
Ministers
calling
is
as
bad
as
the
worst
of
them
;
for
they
are
all
sent
by
the
Prelates
,
Christs
professed
and
knowne
enemies
,
and
they
doe
preach
by
vertue
of
their
instituting
of
them
,
into
the
Office
of
Preisthood
,
unto
whose
power
they
submit
and
take
an
Oath
of
Canonicall
odedience
;
And
this
doe
the
best
among
them
,
(
as
well
as
the
worst
)
that
take
upon
them
a
Parochiall
chardge
,
for
they
are
not
sent
from
Christ
,
to
preach
the
Gospell
,
or
by
vertue
of
his
power
,
which
he
hath
left
in
the
bodies
of
his
particular
(
not
Nationall
)
Churches
,
to
choose
or
ordaine
Officers
to
preach
the
Word
;
But
by
vertue
of
Antichrists
power
and
authority
,
from
whom
they
have
as
really
their
calling
and
power
given
them
to
preach
,
as
those
Officers
that
were
ordained
and
instituted
in
the
New
Testament
to
preach
Christs
Gospell
,
had
their
power
from
him
;
and
this
ere
long
you
shall
see
fully
proved
,
though
I
be
never
hereafter
able
to
set
pen
to
paper
.
Some
thing
concerning
this
I
said
in
my
speech
,
as
in
it
you
may
reade
,
but
it
was
but
a
little
for
the
maine
thing
and
strength
of
my
Argument
,
was
behinde
,
which
I
could
not
make
knowne
,
by
reason
of
the
Gagg
;
But
J
looke
and
expect
to
come
there
againe
,
or
to
a
worse
place
;
and
by
the
strength
and
might
of
my
God
;
I
will
,
come
life
,
come
death
;
speake
my
minde
freely
and
couragiously
;
for
I
am
studying
to
fitt
my selfe
for
it
,
and
I
doubt
not
but
by
the
might
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
who
is
my
strength
and
refuge
,
to
reade
them
such
a
Lecture
,
that
shall
make
the
Beast
roare
,
and
blaspheme
the
God
of
Heaven
for
madnesse
,
though
I
be
hewen
in
peeces
when
I
have
done
;
For
I
feare
neither
the
Devill
,
nor
his
Agents
the
Prelates
,
in
this
cause
of
my
God
,
and
the
Lord
hath
sheltred
me
under
the
shaddow
of
his
wings
,
Psal.
91.
under
whose
protection
I
am
secure
and
safe
from
all
danger
and
harme
,
for
though
it
seaze
upon
me
,
yet
shall
it
not
overcome
me
,
therefore
will
I
not
feare
what
man
can
doe
unto
me
,
for
God
is
my
salvation
,
I
will
trust
,
and
not
be
affrayde
,
for
the
Lord
Iehovah
is
become
my
salvation

I
have
in
part
,
in
a
briefe
way
,
since
I
was
whipped
,
declared
my
minde
and
judgement
to
some
freinds
,
because
I
did
feare
false
reports
,
and
I
am
alwayes
ready
,
according
to
the
command
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
to
give
an
answer
to
every
man
that
shall
aske
me
a
reason
of
the
hope
that
is
in
me
,

meekenesse
&

And
J
now
desire
to
impart
a
little
of
my
minde
unto
you
,
but
for
my
owne
part
I
will
perswade
no
man
to
beleeve
me
,
nor
no
man
whatsoever
,
but
only
to
beleeve
Iesus
Christ
,
speaking
in
the
Scripture
,
it
being
the
intire
and
absolute
rule
of
Faith
,
and
that
unerring
touchstone
,
that
is
able
to
try
gold
from
drosse
,
neither
would
I
have
any
to
take
upon
them
the
profession
of
that
way
,
the
truth
of
which
I
am
fully
convinced
off
;
and
am
able
to
any
man
breathing
for
my
judgement
to
give
a
reason
,
and
grounded
answer
;
But
for
others
my
advice
is
to
them
,
as
one
wishing
well
to
the
soules
of
all
my
Fellow
Brethren
and
Sisters
,
Fellow
heires
of
the
same
Kingdome
with
me
,
that
they
would
not
take
up
things
lightly
and
slightly
,
but
labour
to
gett
inward
principles
in
their
owne
soules
.
And
to
gett
a
ground
and
bottome
for
their
owne
spirits
,
for
these
things
they
professe
and
hold
,
that
so
they
may
not
build
upon
the
sand
,
but
upon
the
unmoveable
Rock
,
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
that
shall
never
be
shaken
,
that
so
they
may
,
though
all
the
power
of
darknesse
set
themselves
against
them
,
yet
that
they
may
cleave
close
to
God
,
&
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
the
purity
of
his
Gospell
,
for
we
must
looke
for
fanning
and
sifting
,
and
for
the
fiery
tryall
;
therefore
let
us
sit
downe
and
reckon
,
what
it
will
cost
us
,
and
if
we
be
not
willing
to
lose
all
for
his
sake
,
yea
and
to
hate
all
even
Father
and
Mother
,
riches
&
life
,
&c.
if
they
stand
in
our
way
to
keep
us
from
him
,
we
are
not
worthy
of
him

And
for
my
owne
part
,
the
Lord
himselfe
hath
so
firmly
by
his
owne
enlightening
Spirit
so
fully
convinced
me
,
and
setled
my
soule
so
unmoveably
in
his
truth
,
that
I
assuredly
know
,
that
all
the

in

,
yea
and
the
gates
of
Hell
it selfe
shall
never
be
able
to
move
me
or

for
the
Lord
who
is
the
worker
of
all

workes
in
me
and
for

,
hath
founded
and
built
me
upon

unmoveable

Lord

I
know
if
ten
thousand

for

God
,
(
for
which
with

I

beare

am
close
prisoner

,
lying

should
be
inflicted
upon

,
I
should
sing
,
rejoyce
&
triumph
in
them
all
;
For
my
God
makes
me
glory
in
my
tribulation
,
and
my
soule
is
filled
so
full
of
that
sweetnesse
and
joy
,
that
it
findes
in
my
God
alone
that
my
tongue
and
penne
is
never
able
to
the
full
to
expresse
&
utter
it
,
(
to
his
praise
I
desire
to
speake
it
,
)
and
I
doe
beleeve
,
that
it
is
not
possible
for
any
man
in
any
condition
whatsoever
(
whose
neck
in
the
best
doth
stoope
to
the
yoake
of
Antichrist
)
to
have
his
heart
and
spirit
elevated
and
lifted
up
above
it selfe
in
that
high
degree
,
with
spirituall
joy
and
comfort
,
divine
and
heavenly
strength
and
supportation
that
mine
is
,
for
the
Holy
Ghost
saith
,
they
have
no
rest
night
nor
day
who
worship
the
Beast
and
his
Image
,
and
whosoever
receiveth
the
marke
of
his
name
;
And
I
doe
beleeve
it
to
be
true
,
as
I
am
able
to
speake
by
my
owne
experience
;
For
they
may
have
some
spirit
of
rest
and
peace
,
and
sudden
Flashes
of
joy
and
comfort
,
but
when
a
storme
or
Tempest
doth
arise
,
they
are
so
possessed
,
with
base
and
cowardly
feare
and
distraction
of
spirit
,
that
they
are
like
men
without
hearts
,
and
are
ready
to
runne
into
every
hole
,
to
hide
their
heads
from
the
face
of
man
,
a
poore
worme
,
being
ready
to
say
(
when
a
tempest
ariseth
)
with
them
in
the
6.
Rev.
16.17
.
Let
the
Mountaine
and
Rock
fall
on
us
,
and
hide
us
from
the
face
of
him
that
sitteth
on
the
Throne
,
and
from
the
wrath
of
the
Lamb
,
for
the
great
day
of
his
wrath
is
come
,
and
who
shall
be
able
to
stand
;
When
as
on
the
contrary
,
the
Righteous
is
as
bold
as
a
Lyon
,
though
the
wicked
fly
when
none
persueth

he
that
dwelleth
in
the
secret
place
of
the
most
high
,
shall
abide
under
the
shaddow
of
the
Almighty
,
and
he
shall
be
safe
from
the
feare
of
all
danger
,
as
the
Holy
Ghost
there
doth
declare
;
So
that
we
see
the
feare
and
terrour
that
possesseth
the
hearts
and
spirits
of
all
those
whose
necks
are
either
in
part
or
in
whole
under
the
spirituall
yoake
and
bondage
of
the

;
And
also
the
rest
and
peace
,
and
holy
security
that
they
are
in
that
submitt
alone
to
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
for
their
spirituall
Lord
and
King
;
And
are
willing
to
follow
him
,
whersoever
he
goes
,
not
loving
their
soules
to
the
death
,

but
keepe
close
and
hold
fast
the
name
and
faith
of
Christ
,
even
where
Satan
hath
his
Throne
,
Rev.
2.13
.
for
he
hath
said
and
promised
unto
his
people
that
keepe
close
to
him
,
because
thou
hast
kept
the
word
of
my
patience
;
I
will
also
keepe
thee
from
the
houre
of
Temptation
,
which
shall
come
upon
all
the
World
,
to
try
them
that
dwell
upon
the
Earth
,
Rev.
3.10
.
And
this
have
I
found
by
experience
,
since
the
Lord
in
great
mercy
and
rich
loving
kindnesse
,
by
his
strength
and
power
inabled
me
to
withdraw
my
soule
totally
and
finally
from
the
greatest
spirituall
yoake
and
bondage
,
that
ever
any
mortall
man
groaned
under
,
namely
the
spirituall
yoake
and
bondage
of
the
Beast
,
or
Roman
State
,
unto
which
,
whosoever
is
hated
of
the
Lord
,
and
doth
not
belong
unto
him
,
doe
submitt
&
yeeld
,
Rev.

and

&

.
But
the
Lord
from
all
eternity
hath
loved
me
with
his
everlasting
love
,
hath
delivered
my
soule
from
it
,
and
set
me
at
liberty
,
and
in
a
large
place
,
and
hath
given
me
rest
and
ease
,
and
hath
put
a
song
of
prayer
and
thanksgiving
into
my
mouth
,
unto
the
Lord
of
glory
and
the
Lamb
that
sitts
upon
his
Throne
,
who
is
blessed
for
ever
and
ever
,
and
my
God
hath
filled
my
soule
so
full
of
Heavenly
matter
,
that
had
I
but
a
current
vent
,
I
could
ex
tempore
write
an
hundred
Sheetes
of
paper
to
you
,
filled
full
of
Heavenly
expressions
of
the
Lords
goodnesse
,
faithfulnesse
,
loving
kindnesse
and
Truth
,
for
my
soule
is
ravished
with
that
fulnesse
,
sweetnesse
,
aimeablenesse
,
and
beautifulnesse
,
that
I
finde
in
my
God
;
Oh
that
my
soule
were
altogether
with
him
,
that
I
might
be
satisfyed
with
his
fulnesse
,
and
might
solace
my
soule
face
to
face
,
which
I
most
confidently
know
I
shall
in
his
due
time
;
But
,
Oh
I
say
againe
and
againe
,
that
J
were
with
him
,
for
he
hath
crucifyed
the
World
,
and
all
things
here
below
unto
me
,
and
hath
enabled
me
to
account
and
esteeme
all
things
besides
himselfe
,
as
dung
and
durt
,
not
being
worthy
of
casting
any
affectionate
eye
upon
them
,
Philip.
3.8.9
.
and
he
hath
pitched
my
soule
upon
himselfe
,
as
a
naked
and
a
single
object
,
in
whom
alone
the
quintessence
of
delight
,
beautie
,
and
satisfaction
is
to
be
had
,
enjoyed
,
and
possessed
,
and
for
my
shackled
condition
that
I
am
in
,
it
is
most
sweete
and
〈…〉
I
am
as
merry
,
yea
more
chearefull
,
then
ever
I
was
in
any
condition
in
my
life
,
and
can
sleepe
as
soundly
in
my
Boots
and
Irons
,
as
Peter
did
betweene
the
two
Souldiers
,
when
he
was
in
prison
,
who
when
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
came
to
him
,
to
deliver
him
;
He
was
faine
to
smite
him
,
before
he
awaked

Acts
12.6.7

And
I
doe
sing
Psalmes
,

J
am
as
merry
as
Paul
and
Sylas
were
,
when
they
were
in
the
Stocks
,

in
prison
,
who
sung
Psalmes
and
Prayses
at
midnight
,
so
that
the
Prisoners
heard
them
,
Acts

for
the
Lord
hath
so
strengthened
me
with
divine
power
and
strength
,
for
the
Lord
of
Hosts
is
my
confidence
;
And
in
the
Lord
Iehovah
there
is
everlasting
strength
;
And
there
is
no
torments
,
that
the
greatest
Tyrans
in
the
World
can
inflict
upon
me
,
that
can
make
me
miserable
,
sad
,
or
discontented
,
for
I
know
all
my
torments
make
but
way
for
a
greater
degree
of
glory
,
which
I
am
confident
one
day
I
shall
be
possessour
off
,
and
J
long
with
Paul
to
be
dissolved
and
to
be
with
Christ
,
not
out
of
any
trouble
or
burdensomenesse
,
that
I
finde
or
see
in
my
present
afflicted
distressed
condition
,
(
according
to
the
flesh
)
but
to
me
it
is
sweete
and
joyfull
in
the
Lord
,
and
I
know
when
the
Lord
hath
fully
tried
me
,
and
done
his
good
pleasure
with
me
,
and
by
me
,
I
shall
come
out
of
the
Furnace
purified
and
clensed
from
my
drosse
filth
and
corruption
,

for
the
Lord
already
in

hath
refined
me
,
but
not
with
Silver
,
for
he
hath
chosen
me
in
the
furnace
of
affliction

This
by

of

for

And
now
J
come
to
the
matter
.
And
for
my
owne
judgement
,
it
beeing
matter
concerning
the
glory
and
prayse
of
my
God
,
although
I
know
it
will
be
very
unpleasing
unto
the
Pallets
of
many
,
yea
of
my
neare
and
deare
freinds
,
from
whom
I
have
received
expressions
of
love
and
kindnesse
,
whose
loving
affection
,
it
may
be
,
may
be
turned
to
a
distast
to
my
person
,
and
my
suffering
,
which
if
it
bee
,
J
shall
patiently
beare
it
,
for
the
sincerity
of
my
heart
is
knowne
unto
God
,
who
is
the
searcher
of
the
heart
,

the
tryer
of

And
I
will
call
him
to
record
,
and
to
beare
witnesse
,
that
the
glory
of
his
great
and
holy
name
,
is
the
single
object
of
all
my
actions
,

,
and
proceedings
;
And
if
I
shall
incurre
hatred
therefore
from
my

,
J
shall
comfort
my selfe
with
that
which
my
saviour
hath
said
,
which
is
that
he
came
not
to
send
peace
on
Earth
,
but
a
sword
,
for
I
am
(
saith
he
)
to
set
a
man
at
variance
against
his
Father
,
and
the
daughter
against
her
Mother
,
and
the

in

against

and
with
that
which
Paul
comforted
himselfe
with
,
if
he
could
approve
his
heart
to
God
,
he
did
not
care
what
man
said
of
him
,
for
saith
he
,
doe
J
seeke
,
to
please
men
,
for
if
J
yet
please
men
,
I
should
not
be
the
servant
of

.
But
now
for
my
judgement
,
for
my
owne
part
,
if
I
should
never
heare
a
Sermon
while
I
live
,
yet
I
should
never
dare
to
heare
one
from
any
man
,
good
or
bad
,
that
is
made
a
Minister
by
the
Prelates
,
or
any
of
their
Creatures
,
or
by
vertue
of
any
of
their
muddy
Antichristian
Lawes
,
neither
dare
I
have
any
spirituall
communion
with
them
;
so
long
as
they
stand
in
their
calling
,
in
regard
I
am
perswaded
that
he
that
heareth
them
sinneth
,
having
no
warrant
out
of
the
booke
of
God
to
doe
it
,
and
by
undenyable
consequence
I
will
prove
it
,
that
whosoever
heares
them
so
long
as
they
Officiat
by
vertue
of
their
calling
and
power
,
which
they
have
received
from
the
Bishops
,
to
preach
,
doth
heare
the
Devill
;
for
the
Holy
Christ
saith
,
Rev.
13
4.
the
subjects
of
the
Kingdome
of
the
Beast
worshipped
the
Dragon
,
(
that
is
to
say
the
Devill
,
which
gave
power
unto
the
Beast
,
and
they
worshipped
the
Beast
,
saying
,
who
is
like
to
the
Beast
,
who
is
able
to
warre
with
the
Beast
.
Now
,
let
us
not
thinke
that
they
did
fall
downe
to
the
Devil
himselfe
,
and
doe
homage
to
him
,
face
to
face
,
for
we
never
reade
of
any
that
did
this
,
but
the
Holy
Ghost
doth
here
declare
,
that
all
those
that
stoope
or
yeeld
in
the
least
to
the
Lawes
of
the
Beast
doth
worship
&
serve
the
Devill
,
from
whom
he
hath
received
his
power
.
But
all
the
Ministers
doe
stoope
unto
is
Lawes
,
which
none
of
them
are
able
to
deny
,
there
o●e
they
are
as
really
his
servants
and
subjects
,
all
the
time
they
doe
so
a
they
can
be
.
And
we
have
no
ground
out
of
the
Scripture
to
judge
better
of
them
;
As
they
are
not
the
subjects
and
servants
of
Christ
,
that
intyrely
doe
not
stoope
unto
his
Lawes
and
Scepte●●
;
For
is
he
,
or
can
he
be
said
to
be
a
subject
to
the
King
of
England
,
that
stoopes
,
submi●ts
,
&
yeelds
to
the
Lawes
and
Scepter
of
any
other
King
,
his
greatest
and
professedst
enemy
upon
the
Earth
.
No
,
without
doubt
;
But
they
doe
stoope
to
the
Lawes
of
Antichrists
Kingdome
,
who
is
the
greatest
and
professedst
enemy
that
ever
Iesus
Christ
had
in
the
World
,
as
I
will
be
ready
to
prove
to
the
faces
of
the
best
of
them
in
any
publick
disputa●ion
.
Therefore
they
are
reall
and
truely
his
servants
;
for
his
servant
you
are
to
whom
you
obey
.
Now
,
Iesus
Christ
saith
to
his
Disciples
,
he
that
heares
you
,
heareth
me
,
and
he
that
heareth
me
heareth
him
that
sent
me
.
So
on
the
contrary
,
he
that
heares
the
Ministers
,
heares
the
Prelates
that
made
and
sent
them
.
And
he
that
heares
the
Prelates
,
heares
the
Pope
,
that
authorised
&
gave
them
their
authority
;
And
he
that
heares
the
Pope
,
heares
the
Devill
,
that
gave
him
his
power
;
So
that
I
say
we
can
not
partake
with
them
in
hearing
,
or
in
any
administrations
of
Gods
sacred
things
,
but
we
must
of
necessity
partake
of
their
calling
and
institution
,
by
vertue
of
which
they
officiat
and
administer
;
And
that
J
prove
from
Pauls
words
in
the
first
of
the
Cor.
10.18
.
Are
not
they
which
eate
of
the
Sacrifice
partakers
of
the
Altar
;
Even
so
I
say
,
are
not
they
which
partake
of
their
administration
,
partakers
of
their
institution
?
Yea
without
doubt
or
question
.
Now
,
for
their
institution
,
it
is
not
from
God
(
as
J
will
maintaine
against
them
all
)
therefore
we
are
not
to
heare
them
,
nor
in
the
least
to
partake
with
them
or
their
administration
.
And
for
your
better
satisfaction
seriously
reade
and
weigh
the
10.
of
Iohn
:
And
to
me
it
seemes
so
cleare
and
plaine
,
that
I
doe
not
doubt
but
that
we
are
not
to
heare
any
Ministers
but
those
that
are
made
by
vertue
of
the
Lawes
and
power
of
Christ
,
which
he
hath
left
to
his
Church
,
in
his
last
will
and
Testament
,
which
Lawes
are
unalterable
and
unchangeable
to
the
end
of
the
World
,
Acts
1.3
.
1
Tim.
6.13
.
2
Tim.
13.14.15.17
.
Heb.
3.1.2.6
.
Math.
28.19.20
.
But
they
are
not
made
by
vertue
of
the
Lawes
and
power
of
Christ
,
but
by
the
Lawes
and
Authority
of
Antichrist
,
and
therefore
we
are
not
to
heare
them
,
for
saith
Christ
,
my
Sheepe
heare
my
voice
,
&
I
know
them
,
and
they
follow
me
,
and
a
stranger
they
will
not
follow
,
but
will
fly
from
him
,
for
they
know
not
the
voice
of
strangers
;
Here
you
see
Christ
layes
it
downe
,
as
a
signe
and
a
marke
to
know
his
Sheepe
by
,
that
they
will
not
heare
,
nor
give
eare
to
false
Shepheards
.
But
so
are
all
the
Ministers
,
for
they
come
not
in
by
the
dore
,
but
by
a
false
power
and
Authority
;
namely
,
by
the
power
of
the
man
of
sinne
,
Christs
implacable
enemy
.
Therefore
it
is
not
Lawfull
for
any
of
Gods
people
,
to
heare
them
;
For
when
the
Prelates
by
vertue
of
his
power
,
bids
them
,
and
Authorize
them
to
preach
,
they
doe
preach
;
And
when
they
command
them
to
hold
their
peace
,
they
are
silent
,
and
let
their
flock
runne
at
randome
,
when
as
a
good
and
true
Shepheard
layeth
downe
his
life
for
his
Sheepheard
.
Object
.
But
many
object
and
say
,
it
is
true
,
that
their
calling
as
it
comes
from
the
Prelates
,
is
unlawfull
,
but
they
have
an
inward
calling
,
for
they
are
fitted
for
the
worke
of
the
Ministerie
.
Answ.
To
which
J
answer
and
say
,
I
reade
of
no
inward
calling
,
that
any
of
those
Officers
had
,
that
Christ
or
his
Apostles
did
institute
in
the
New
Testament
,
for
the
Apostles
had
their
calling
from
Christ
,
and
the
other
Officers
had
their
calling
from
the
Churches
,
where
they
themselves
were
members
,
and
over
which
,
by
the
Lawes
and
power
of
Christ
,
they
were
made
Officers
.
But
if
the
Ministers
of
Antichrist
have
an
inward
calling
,
I
desire
to
see
it
proved
by
the
Scripture
;
And
as
for
their
qualifications
and
fitenesse
for
the
Ministrie
.
J
deny
,
and
say
,
that
they
are
not
qualified
according
to
the
command
of
Christ
,
by
Paul
to
Timothy
&
Titus
;
And
I
doe
affirme
and
will
maintaine
it
,
that
no
man
ought
to
be
Elected
for
the
worke
of
the
Ministrie
,
unlesse
he
have
all
those
qualifications
that
is
by
the
Holy
Ghost
set
downe
in
the
1
Tim.
3.
and
the
first
of
Titus
.
Now
,
there
is
none
of
them
,
yea
the
best
among
them
,
that
hath
the
qualification
for
a
Bishop
,
a
Pastor
,
or
an
Elder
,
which
is
all
.
One
must
not
be
a
Novice
,
least
being
lifted
up
with
pride
,
he
fall
into
the
condemnation
of
the
Devill
.
Also
he
must
hold
fast
the
faithfull
word
as
it
hath
been
taught
,
that
he
may
be
able
by
sound
Doctrine
,
both
to
exhort
and
convince
the
gainesayers
;
But
none
of
them
have
either
of
these
,
for
they
are
so
farre
from
being
able
to
convince
gainesayers
by
sound
Doctrine
,
that
they
are
but
novices
in
many
things
,
and
either
wilfully
or
ignorantly
are
blinde
of
the
naked
wayes
of
God
,
being
darkned
with
the
smoake
which
came
out
of
the
bottomlesse
pitt
,
Rev.
8.2
,
and
J
will
justify
it
to
the
faces
of
the
best
of
them
,
that
they
are
enemies
to
the
Kingly
Office
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
the
right
government
of
his
Church
,
both
in
practise
and
in
judgement
;
and
therefore
are
not
fit
(
take
them
at
the
best
)
to
be
Pastors
over
Christs
Sheepe
;
Neither
can
any
of
them
say
as
Paul
did
,
Acts
20.
That
he
was
cleare
of
the
blood
of
all
men
,
in
that
he
ceased
not
to
declare
unto
them
,
the
whole
Counsell
of
God
,
which
every
faithfull
Pastor
ought
to
doe
;
but
none
of
them
have
done
it
,
nor
are
able
,
for
as
I
said
before
,
they
are
ignorant
,
of
it
,
and
are
enemies
to
it
,
as
they
doe
witnesse
in
their
Pulpits
,
where
they
preach
against
the
naked
and
pure
wayes
of
God
,
and
the
Professours
of
it
,
but
none
of
them
dare
to
enter
the
list
of
a
Publick
set
dispute
.
Object
.
I
but
say
others
they
preach
the
Word
of
God
,
and
that
cannot
be
corrupted
by
their
calling
,
but
remaine
the
Word
of
God
still
,
therefore
we
may
Lawfully
heare
it
from
them
.
Answ.
I
answet
,
they
preach
the
outside
of
the
Word
,
it
is
true
,
but
the
marrow
and
pith
of
it
,
they
meddle
but
little
with
,
for
the
best
of
them
are
yet
ignorant
of
the
marrow
,
of
many
choice
Truths
of
God
,
for
their
understandings
are
so
overspred
with
the
Foggie
Mists
of
the
darke
and
black
Kingdome
of
Antichrist
,
that
they
want
spirituall
eyes
to
see
it
;
And
behold
it
untill
the
Lord
in
mercy
if
so
he
please
to
open
their
eyes
;
And
what
though
they
doe
preach
the
Word
,
they
have
no
authority
from
God
so
to
doe
,
if
they
have
,
let
them
stand
up
and
show
it
,
and
prove
it
;
Not
with
human
learning
,
but
by
the
authority
of
the
Scripture
.
It
is
true
,
the
Devill
himselfe
preached
Christ
,
and
made
a
glorious
confession
of
him
,
saying
:
I
know
that
thou
art
Iesus
the
Christ
,
the
Son
of
God
,
Mark
1.24
.
This
if
it
had
come
from
one
of
Christs
owne
servants
,
it
had
been
most
acceptable
,
and
well
pleasing
to
him
,
but
in
regard
it
comes
from
the
Devill
,
he
will
not
owne
it
,
but
commands
him
to
hold
his
peace
.
It
is
very
true
,
the
Word
of
God
is
good
and
sweete
,
and
a
comfort
to
the
soules
of
his
servants
,
if
it
be
preached
by
any
that
hath
authority
from
Christ
,
we
are
bound
to
heare
it
;
But
the
best
of
the
Ministers
have
no
authority
or
warrant
from
Christ
to
preach
the
Word
,
nor
we
to
heare
it
from
them

What
hast
thou
to

to
declare
my
Statutes
,
or
that
thou
shouldest
take
my
Covenant
in
thy
mouth
.
Now
,
looke
upon
all
of
them
to
be
such
as
God
here
speakes
off
,
in

of
their
institution

being

I
doe
not
,
nor
will
not
meddle
with
their
persons
,
nor
no
mans
else
,
but
only
with
their
sinfull
and
wicked
station
and
standing
;
Which
as
I
am
a
subject
to
Christs
Kingdome
,
and
a
prisoner
in
bonds
and
fetters
of

for

cause
,
I
am
bound
in
conscience
for
to
doe

Now
,
by
vertue
of
their
being
members
of

,
we
have
no
ground

warrant
out
of
the

to

,
for
it
is
impossible
to
be

subject
both
to

;
But
they
are
subjects

Therefore
cannot
be
said
truely
to
be

to

For
is
not
he
properly
a

to
the

,
that
submits
to
his

beares

can
such

,
while

doe
so
;
be
said

truely
to
be
esteemed
to
be
subjects
to
the

unto

they
doe
not

Without
doubt
they
cannot
.
Even
so
can
the

(
for
so
is
their

)
who
submit
unto

execute

therefore

I

where

But
he
never

it

Therefore
we
have
no

to
seeke
it
there
,
or
come
there
at

;
Much
more
concerning

Againe
,
I
see
no
ground
or
warrant
,
that
any
of
Gods
people
have
,
to
have
any
spiritual
communion
with
them
,
in
regard
God
hath
commanded
his
people
,
at
all
times
,
very
strictly
,
that
they
shall
have
no
communion
with
Idolaters
,
nor
their
Idols
,
as
the
whole
Booke
of
God
doth
declare
;
and
I
desire
you
to
read
the
seventh
of
Deut
:
and
there
you
shall
see
Gods
strict
command
to
that
end
.
But
the
Ministers
all
of
them
are
Idolaters
,
yea
Idols
themselves
;
Therefore
we
must
have
no
communion
with
them
.
Now
,
that
they
are
Jdolaters
,
is
as
cleare
as
the
Sun
,
that
shines
at
noone-day
;
And
that
they
are
Idols
,
I
am
able
to
prove
it
to
their
faces
,
For
an
Idoll
is
nothing
else
according
to
the
Scripture
but
a
Creature
or
Creatures
set
a
part
,
or
instituted
to
worship
God
with
or
by
,
which
he
himselfe
never
ordained
for
that
end
and
purpose
;
But
such
are
all
the
Prelates
Ministers
,
for
they
were
never
of
his
ordaining
or
instituting
,
but
of
his
greatest
enemies
,
the
Pillars
of
Antichrists
Kingdome
,
by
vertue
of
whose
power
they
officiate
.
Therefore
they
are
Idols
,
whom
all
Gods
people
,
that
are
faithfull
Souldiers
and
leige
Subjects
,
ought
to
be
a
meanes
,
and
a
helpe
,
to
roote
up
and
pull
downe
.
Now
,
this
definition
of
an
Idoll
is
not
only
according
to
the
Scripture
,
but
is
given
by
the
foundest
Nonconformists
themselves
,
as
you
may
read
in
their
Bookes
,
where
they
have
strongly
proved
the
Surplice
,
and
the
Crosse
in
Baptisme
,
and
kneeling
in
the
Act
o●
receiving
the
Communion
;
And
the
rest
of
the
Prelates
instituted
sacred
Ceremonies
,
as
they
call
them
,
saying
in
their
Reasons
before
the
Common-prayer
,
for
the
retaining
of
some
Ceremonies
,
and
the
abolishing
of
others
,
that
they
are
apt
to
stirr
up
the
dull
minde
of
man
,
to
the
remembrance
of
some
duty
to
God
,
by
some
speciall
signification
,
whereby
he
might
be
edi●yed
.
Now
,
if
you
reade
the
Scots
Dispute
,
which
was
printed
at
Leyden
,
in
Holland
,
the
last
Summer
,
you
shall
there
find
strong
reasons
,
to
prove
the
Ceremonies
Idols
;
and
his
maine
Argument
is
,
because
they
are
not
of
Gods
institution
,
but
of
sinfull
mans
ordaining
.
Also
that
No●le
and
worthy
Doctor
(
whom
I
so
much
honour
and
respect
)
Doctor
Bastwicke
in
his
Booke
,
called
The
Vanity
and
Impiety
of
the
old
Lettany
,
doth
prove
it
to
be
an
Idoll
,
yea
and
calls
it
a
damnable
soule-murthering
Jdoll
;
And
that
upon
the
same
ground
,
because
it
is
not
of
Gods
us
of
mans
institution
,
without
any
ground
or
war●ant
from
God
;
and
there●ore
is
an
Idoll
,
and
is
to
be
detested
as
an
abominable
Idoll
.
Now
,
what
they
say
of
the
Ceremonies
,
and
of
the
Service
,
the
same
I
say
o●
the
Prelates
,
and
all
the
Ministers
that
are
made
by
them
and
have
their
calling
from
the
Bishops
,
they
are
Creatures
set
a
part
to
worship
God
with
or
by
,
but
were
never
of
his
instituting
,
or
by
vertue
o●
his
power
,
but
by
mans
institution
,
and
by
vertue
of
the
power
of
the
greatest
enemy
that
ever
Iesus
Christ
had
,
or
his
Kingdome
ever
had
on
Earth
,
namely
Antichrist
,
or
the
Kingdome
of
the
Beast

3.7.10.11
.
and
13.6.7.16.17

and

And
therefore
they
are
Idols
,
whom
so
long
as
they
stand
in
their
places
and
callings
under
the
spirituall
Antichristian
authority
,
which
they
all
submit
to
and
subject
themselves
to
,
I
shall
not
dare
to
have
any
spirituall
communion
with
them
,
either
in
publicke
or
private
,
for
what
fellowship
hath
righteousnesse
with
unrighteousnesse
;
Or
what
communion
hath
light
with
darknesse
;
And
what
Concord
hath
Christ
with
Beliall
?
Or
what
part
hath
he
that
beleeveth
with
an
Infidell
?
Or
what
agreement
hath
the
Temple
of
God
with
Idols
?
Surely
,
none
at
all
.
Wherefore
come
you
out
from
among
them
,
and
be
you
seperate
,
saith
the
Lord
,
and
touch
no
uncleane
thing
,
and
I
will
receive
you
,

will
be

unto
you

you

Besides

who
desire
to

unto

or
to

any

,
as

,
for
by
vertue
of
their
calling
and
Office
,
they
are
the
deadly
and
implacable
enemies
of
God
,
and
are
so
many
pernicious
and
damnable
Idols
(
by
which
God
is
exceedingly
dishonoured
)
set
up
by
the
Devill

I

that

as
for

and
doe

to

And
for
my
owne
part
,
if
they
require
of
me
any
such
,
my
answer
shall
be
to
them
,
as
the

was
to
the

Be
it
knowne
to
you
Bishops
and
Doctors
,
I
feare
you
not
;
or
the
God
whom
I
serve
and
feare
,
is
able
to
deliver
me
out
of
your
hands
,
and
from
your
Tyrannising
crueltie
;
But
if
he
doe
not
,
be
it
knowne
unto
you
,
Oh
ye
Prelates
,
that
I
will
not
serve
you
,
nor
worship
you
,
nor
yeeld
nor
submit
in
any
spirituall
things
unto
you
;
And
if
I
were
at
liberty
,
I
would
professe
those
Truths
of
God
surely
without
feare
,
which
he
himselfe
hath
made
knowne
unto
me
;
And
if
J
were
at
any
time
taken
by
any
of
their
Officers
,
I
would
not
goe
to
prison
with
them
,
unlesse
they
carried
me
by
force
;
Yet
if
it
were
the
meanest
Officer
in

Kingdome
that
tooke
me
,
that
were
made
an
Officer
by
vertue
of
the
Kings
Authority
and
power
,
I
would
submit
unto
him
,
and
goe
with
him
,
whether
he
would
have
me
,
for
I
know
the
Kings
Authority
is
from
God
;
And
if
I
should
disobey
it
,
I
should
disobey
God
,
and
sinne
against
God
,
and
breake
his
Command
,

And
therefore
I
will
obey
him
,
his
Lawes
,
and
all
those
that
beare
his
Authority
,
in
all
things
they
command
or
enjoyne
me
;
without
any
the
least
resistance
at
all
,
heartily
from
my
heart
,
either
actively
or
passively
;
for
if
they
command
me
any
thing
that
is
not
contrary
to
the
Word
of
God
,
I
will
obey
them
actively
;
But
if
they
command
me
any
thing
that
is
dishonourable
to
God
or
his
Truth
,
I
dare
not
in
the
least
obey
them
actively
,
but
say
with
the
Apostle
,
whether
it
be
fitt
to
obey
God
or
Men
,
judge
ye
,
for
we
ought
to
obey
God
rather
then
Men
,

Yet
I
will
submit
my
body
to
them
,
and
suffer
cheerfully
,
without
any
grudging
any
thing
they
shall
inflict
upon
me
,
for
I
doe
hold
it
unlawfull
for
any
of
Gods
people
,
in
their
greatest
Oppression
by
the
Majestrate
,
to
rebell
or
to
take
up
any
Temporal
armes
against
them
,
whether
the
Oppression
be
in
Spirituall
or
Temporall
things
,
but
only
to

make

suffer

that

will
inflict
upon

But
to
the
Kingdome
of

,
these
members
of
which
the

are
,
will
I
never
stoope
by
the
might
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
nor
have
any
spirituall
communion
with
them
,
for
the
Lord
hath
expresly
commanded
me
and
all
his
people
to
have
nothing
to
doe
with
Idols

nor
with

full

&
with
it

make
it

Idolatrie

maintaine

that
the

of

the
greatest
Idol
that
ever

the
greatest

sent

as
the

declare

appeares
by
the
expressions
of

,
in

where
we
may
read
,
that
when
the

had
sounded
their
Trumpets
,
mighty
and
horrible
plagues
then
followed
them
,
worse
and
more
great
were
to
come
after
,
as
appeares
by
the
vehement
expressions
and
calling
out
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
with
a
loud
voice
,
Verse

Woe

For
why
the

sounded

And
in

it

which
is
just
42

it
makes
also
three

accounting
12

and
this
is
the
time
of

the

Which
if
we
reckon
each

as
the
Lord
himselfe
in

doth

as
we
may
read
when
the

that
went
from

Tents
of

,
at
the
Lords
command
,
to
search
the
Land
of
Canaan
,
which
they
were
a
doing
40
dayes
;
And
at
their
returne
they
gave
out
an
evill
report
of
it

which
made
the

not

Oath
and
promise
,
which
was
to
bring
them
into
the
Land
of
Canaan
,
to
give
it
to
them
,
notwithstanding
the
greatnesse
and
potency
of
the
Heathen
,
for
the
Lord
himselfe
had
promised
to
cast
them
out
,
but
because
they
beleeved
him
not
,
but
rebelled
against
him
,
fearing
the
strength
and
power
of
the
Heathen
,
the
Lord
would
make
them
to
wander
in
the
barren
and
desart
Wildernesse
40
yeares
.
For
saith
he
,
after
the
number
of
the
dayes
,
in
which
ye
searched
the
Land
even
40
dayes
,
each
day
for
a
yeare
,
shall
you
beare
your
iniquities
,
even
40
yeares
,
and
you
shall
know
my
breach
of
promise
,
Numb.

Ezek:
4.5.6

where
God
saith
thus
to
the
Prophet
:
J
have
laid
upon
thee
the
yeares
of
iniquity
,
according
to
the
number
of
the
dayes
,
three
hundred
and
ninety
dayes
,
so
shalt
thou
beare
the
iniquity
of
the
House
of
Israel
;
and
when
thou
hast
accomplished
them
,
lye
againe
on
thy
right
side
,
and
thou
shalt
beare
the
iniquity
of
the
house

I
have
appointed

for

So
that
if
we
expound

by
these
2
places
of

,
reckning
as
God
him self
doth
each

for

which
I
verily
beleeve
is
the
right
meaning
of
the
Holy

;
We
shall
finde
that
the
Beasts
Kingdome
shall
endure
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
1260.
yeares
;
For
I
see
no
ground
that
these
places
should
be
expounded
litterally
for
three
yeares
and
a
halfe
,
and
no
more
,
for
it
is
impossible
that
Antichrist
should
doe
all
these
strange
things
,
in
so
short
a
time
,
that
is
said
,
he
he
shall
doe
&
fulfill
,
therefore
without
doubt
it
must
be
expounded
each
day
for
a
yeare
,
for
the
man
of
sinne
was
a
working
in
the
Apostles
time
,
but
the
Emperour
who
letted
him

kept
him

Now
,
during
the
time
of

,
the

the

of

,
is
to
be

though
now
and
then
she
should
have
some
breathing
and
refreshing
times
;
And
when

growes
to
an
end
,
(
which
blessed
be

doth
hasten
apace

the

blindnesse

is
the
smoake
that

saith
,
came
out

shall
in
some
measure
be
dispeld
,
and
the
Beames
of

light
,
shall
breake
and
shine
out
,
as
is
plaine
in
the
10.14
,
and
16.
Chapters
;
for
then
the

of

the
Holy

is
opened
,
which
in
former
ages
lay
altogether
hid
,
and
in
a
manner
shutt
up
in
obscurity
&
darknesse
,
as
appeares
plainly
out
of
the

Therefore
let
us
not
wonder
,
nor
think
it
strange
that
the
eyes
of
spirituall
understanding
,
(
which
is
to
know

see
&
imbrace
the
naked

is
opened

so
few
of
the
great

famous
men
,
in
the
eye
of
the

,
but
continue
still
enemies
to
the
bare
&
naked
Truths
of
God
,
for
the
Kingdome
of
the
Beast
is
not
yet
destroyed
,
&
the
smoake
of

hath
so
darkened

that
the
spirituall
eyes
of
few
mens

,
are
opened
to
see
&
take
notice
of
the
intyre
Truths
of
God
;
yet
notwithstanding
let
us
take
heede
,
that
we
be
not
offended
&
stumble
to
our
destruction

let
us
take
notice
of
that
thanksgiving
,
which
Christ
gives
to
his
Father
:
J
thanke
thee
oh

of

Law
had
in
reputation
among
all
the
people
:
Acts
5.34
,
and
22.3
.
But
yet
when
he
came
to
the
true
spirituall
knowledge
of
true
spirituall
learning
indeed
,
which
is
taught
to
all
Christs
Schollers
,
lesse
or
more
,
that
are
brought
up
in
his
Schoole
,
he
renounced
his
humane
Schollership
,
and
accounted
it
no
better
then
dung
or
dirt
,
Phil:
3.5.7
8.
But
besides
him
,
we
read
of
none
of
the
Apostles
,
that
were
learned
in
that
learning
,
which
the
blinde
world
accounts
learning
and
Schollership
,
for
they
were
all
or
most
of
them
poore
men
,
brought
up
in
obscure
and
base
callings
many
of
them
being
no
better
then
poore
Fishermen
;
yet
when
Christ
called
them
,
he
indued
them
with
spirituall
learning
,
which
is
the
true
learning
indeed
;
Acts
2.1
.
&c.
And
those
in
the
new
Testament
,
that
are
commended
for
their
learning
,
it
was
because
they
were
filled
with
the
gifts
of
the
Spirit
,
and
were
mighty
in
the
Scriptures
,
Iohn
7.38.39
.
Acts
18.24
.
1
Cor.
12.3.7.8.10
.
and
14.
By
all
which
places
of
Scripture
we
see
,
that
the
learning
which
made
the
Apostles
famous
,
was
not
human
learning
,
(
for
none
of
them
had
it
but
Paul
,
and
he
renounced
it
,
)
but
it
was
heavenly
learning
,
which
came
from
God
,
being
the
gift
of
his
Holy
Spirit
.
And
for
all
the
rest
of
those
which
they
ordained
(
by
the
power
and
Authority
which
they
had
from
Christ
)
to
officiat
in
the
Churches
,
and
to
administer
the
sacred
and
holy
things
of
God
,
to
his
chosen
and
sanctifyed
ones
,
(
for
none
but
them
have
true
right
to
Christs
ordinances
,
)
it
was
spirituall
knowledge
,
divine
learning
,
and
insight
into
the
Scripture
,
which
are
the
gifts
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
as
is
before
proved
;
which
made
them
fitt
for
those
Offices
,
that
they
were
chosen
to
by
the
Church
,
and
ordained
by
the
Apostles
,
for
they
were
not
to
be
Novices
in
the
Mysteries
and
wayes
of
God
,
but
sound
in
the
Faith
,
and
also
of
a
holy
and
Godly
life
and
conversation
,
which
the
Apostle
calls
a
good
report
,
and
to
have
the
rest
of
those
qualifications
,
which
he
layes
downe
in
1
Tim.
3.
and
5.
Chapters
,
and
Titus
1.
And
whosoever
have
not
these
qualifications
,
are
not
fitt
(
according
to
the
Apostles
command
there
)
to
beare
Office
in
the
true
Church
,
which
is
the

the

under

Oh!
the

of

fill

But
they

spirituall

it
is
our

doe
not

is

ever
the

come
truely

us
in

heavenly

It
is

to
see
people
take
such

are

Because
that
it
is
a
shame
even
in
the
eyes
of
the
World
,
for
a
man
to
be
of
no
Religion
;
Therfore
people
take
upon
them
the
outward
forme
of
Religion
,
but
are
destitute
of
the
inward
power
of
godlinesse
,
going
on
in
a
formall
way
of
Religion
,
with
muddy
,
earthie
,
and
unsanctified
affections
,
but
doe
not
strive
,
studdy
&
labour
,
as
they
ought
to
get
inward
principles
,
&
true
grounds
in
their
owne
soules
,
that
so
they
may
be
built
upon
that
sure
&
unmooveable
foundation
,
that
never
can
be
shaken
;
But
build
upon
sand
,
hay
and
stubble
;
as
the
Apostle
speakes
;
And
therfore
that
building
will
come
to
ruine
,
when
stormes
&
Tempests
doth
arise
,
as
too
true
experience
,
hath
,
doth
&
will
manifest
declare
,
for
when
men
are
not
soundly
setled
in
the
true
ways
they
cannot
possible
have
that
true
inward
peace
,
which
God
hath
promised
to
his
faithfull
ones
;
But
their
spirits
&
hearts
are
full
of
feares
&
distractions
,
in
time
of
danger
and
calamity
,
I
appeale
even
to
the
hearts
and
spirits
,
even
of
people
themselves
that
are
not
as
yet
convinced
and
settled
in
the
right
and
true
wayes
of
God
.
Sure
I
am
,
I
am
able
to
speake
it
by
my selfe
,
and
doe
speake
it
in
the
presence
of
my
God
,
who
knowes
my
heart
,
and
trieth
my
reines
,
Rev:
2.23
.
that
I
have
found
it
true
,
by
former
experience
;
for
the
Spirit
of
God
saith
,
there
is
no
peace
to
the
wicked
,
Esay
:
48.22
,
and
57.21
.
Now
,
while
a
man
is
out
of
the
true
wayes
of
God
,
and
is
in
the
by-wayes
of
sinne
and
wickednesse
,
he
cannot
truely
according
to
the
revealed
will
of
God
,
be
tearmed
any
otherwise
,
then
a
wicked
man
;
Though
notwithstanding
his
soule
may
be
precious
to
God
;
But
we
are
not
to
judge
according
to
the
secret
will
,
but
only
to
judge
according
to
the
revealed
will
of
God
,
for
secret
and
hidden
things
belong
to
God
,
but
revealed
things
to
us
and
to
our
children
,
as
Moses
saith
.
But
all
those
that
are
members
of
the
Kingdome
of
Antichrist
,
(
as
all
that
submit
to
the
Prelates
and
their
Lawes
are
)
are
out
of
the
true
wayes
and
pathes
of
God
,
and
are
in
the
bye
and
crooked
way
of
sin
and
wickednesse
;
And
therefore
we
have
no
grounded
warrant
out
of
the
Scripture
,
the
revealed
will
of
God
,
to
judge
or
esteeme
of
them
any
otherwise
but
as
wicked
men
,
who
in
that
estate
cannot
be
possessours
of
that
true
and
setled
peace
and
spirituall
comfort
and
joy
,
that
God
doth
bestow
vpon
his
faith
sevants
.
Now
as
for
the
proofe
of
this
argument
,
t
is
every
branch
&
part
of
it
proved
in
the
foregoing
discourse
;
but
on
the
contrary
I
can
truelie
speake
it
,
that
my
soule
had
never
before
,
that
true
rest
,
quietnesse
,
and
sweete
inward
spirituall
peace
:
that
I
haue
been
and
am
still
possessour
of
,
since
my
God
gaue
me
strength
,
might
&
power
,
to
shake
of
that
Antichristian
yoake
,
and
all
communion
with
his
lawes
&
subjects
.
And
my
soule
is
filled
so
full
of
true
rest
and
peace
,
that
all
my
torments
and
sufferings
,
and
the
greatnesse
and
potency
of
my
adversaries
,
the
chiefe
of
which
is
the
Divell

doth
not

terrifie
or
trouble
mee

but
I
am
merry
and
cheerefull
in
the
midst
of
the
veriety
of
my
sufferings
,
for
the
Lord
makes
me
to
triumph
over
them
all

do
bend
themselves
against

yet
they
shall
never

me
sadd

for
the
Lord
hath
given
me
a
cheerfull

which

Oh
God
forbid
that
ever

should
so
much

entetaine
the

thought
of

therefore
know
that
this
is
my

which
the

hath
wrought

And
for
this
I

spend

be

before

his
naked

tittle

that
which
he
himself

And
further
knowe
that
all
my

deserted

But
if
all
my

in

should
be
offended
with
me

if

though
I
starue

friends
do
leaue
me
and
forsake
me
:
yet
the
Lord
will
stand
by
mee
,
support
,
and
vphold
me
,
in
the
midst
of
the
greatest
of
my
tryalls
,
distresses
and
afflictions
,
and
in
due
time
deliver
me
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lyon
,
for
he
did
thus
with
Paul
,
when
he
was
to
answer
before
Nero
,
for
his
and
Doctrine
,
at
which
time
all
forsooke
him
,
yet
the
Lord
stood
by
him
and
delivered
him

And
I
know
he
will
doe
so
for
me
too
,
for
he
hath
filled
my
soule
so
full
of
his
strength
,
to
strengthen
me
in
my
greatest
tryalls
;
and
of
his
presence
&
comfort
,
to
comfort
me
in
my
present
afflictions
,
that
I
know
I
can
liue
by
faith
in
every
condition

whether
in
hunger
of
nakednesse
in
want
scarcity
,
in
prison
or
in

,
or

or
in

And
in
my
present
afflicted
and
chained
condition
,
I
haue
and
do
possesse
all
that
my
soule
can
desire
:
for
I
haue
God
&
Christ
&
his
holy
spirit
,
and
haue
rest
,
true
peace
and
ease
,
and
though
I
be
in
bonds
&
fettered
with
Irons
,
lockes
and
chaines
,
yet
I
am
at
liberty
,
for
my
heart
&
spirit
is
mightily
inlarged
,
also
I
haue
full
satisfaction

&
for
my
outward

,
I
haue
not
a
troubled
thougt
about
it
,
for
it
doth
not
in

molest
me
;
for
I
can
truly
with

,
in

of

;
Nec

Nec

Nec

I
neither
haue
,
nor
want
,
nor
care
for
.
When
I
haue
the
least
,
then
I
haue
a
feast
;
and
I
hauing
that

I

God
will
cotinue
it
,
and
for
my

part

I
neither

nor

then
there
is
at

and
I
feast
every

and
therefore
haue
no
want
of
good
things
,
yea
did
but
my
enemies
truely
know
in
how
rich
and
plentifull
a
condition
I
am
in
,
they
would
bite
off
their
fingers
ends
,
for
to
heare
of
my
prosperous
and
happie
estate
,
in
the
midst
of
their
cruelties
,
for
I
haue
found
and
got
such
riches
since
J
came
to
Prison
,
that
I
thinke
the
like
is
not
to
be
got
abroad
in
the
world
.
And
of
all
conditions
vnder
heaven
,
in
my
judgement
(
a
prison
and
an
afflicted
condition
,
for
the
truth
and
cause
of
Christ
,
and
the
testimonie
of
a
good
conscience
)
is
the
most
happie
and
rich
condition
:
for
then
Gods
holy
ones
grow
in
I
grace
and
Godlinesse
,
like
tall
Ceadars

,
and
get
great

,
faithfulnesse

as
I
am
able

speake
it

by

though

and
haue
studdied
and
beat
their
braines
,
in
their
Vniuersities
and
else
where
,
for
many
yeares
together
,
yet
in
one
sixe
moneths
,
in
a
Prison
and
fettered
condition
:
I
haue
got
more
true
spirituall
learning
and
and
knowledge
,
in
the
misteries
of
Godlinesse
,
then
is
amongst
them
all
;
therefore
when
they
sent
me
to
Prison
,
they
did
more
for
me
,
then
if
they
had
given
me
ten
thousand
pounds
,
for
they
haue
sent
me
to
a
heaven
vpon
earth
:
for
so
J
haue
found
it
.
And
so
farr
I
am
from
being
overcome
,
by
their
vnheard
of
cruelty
(
to
submitt
and
make
a
base
recantation
,
as
they
would
haue
me
)
which
they
haue
&
do
still
exercise
vpon
me
,
in
a
high
degree
,
that
I
am
ten
times
stronger
then
I
was
at
the
first
,
and
the
next
act
of
cruelty
that
they
shall
inflict
vpon
me
,
will
make
me
twenty
times
as
strong
as
I
am
,
and
the
next
act
of
cruelty
after
that
,
will
make
wee
as
vnmouable
as
Mount
Sion
;
which
cannot
be
moved
,
but

And
as
the
hatred
&
dispeasur
of
my
friends
(
which
is
the
greater
tryall
of
the
two
)
which
J
haue
incurred
from
them
by
reason
of
my
judgment
and
Conscience
,
I
will
carrie
my selfe
by
the
help
&
assistance
of
my
God
,
like
an
innocent
&
harmelesse
lamb
of
Christ
;
yet
will
I
never
in
the
least
,
either
for
their
love
or
displeasure
,
forsake
or
renounce
the
least
Truth
,
that
the
Lord
in
great
mercy
hath
manifested
and
made
known
unto
me
;
since
I
came
to
prison
.
For
before
J
was
not
only
a
Novice
,
but
a
very
Idiot
in
the
right
wayes
of
God
,
having
muddy
affections
,
but
wanted
inward
principles
,
having
fiery
zeale
,
but
it
was
without
grounded
spirituall
knowledge
;
But
now
the
Lord
hath
made
knowne
to
me
,
by
his
spirit
,
the
way
wherein
to
serve
and
worship
him
;
And
he
hath
made
me
by
his
power
and
strength
as
unmoveable
as
an
Iron
Pillar
,
or
a
Brazen
Wall
;
And
if
they
doe
not
in
matters
of
Religion
returne
unto
me
,
J
shall
I
hope
fullfill
that
command
of
God
given
unto
Ieremy
in
the
15.
Chapt:
19.
that
I
shall
not
in
the
least
returne
unto
any
of
them
,
though
I
be
ever
accounted
by
them
as
an
allien
and
stranger
to
them
.
Againe
,
I
desire
to
lett
you
know
,
that
upon
the
pillary
I
challenged
all
the
Bishopps
in
England
to
dispute
with
them
,
upon
this
proposition
,
to
prove
the
Popes
power
and
authority
from
the
Devill
,
and
that
their
power
,
authority
,
and
jurisdiction
and
calling
,
in
which
they
stand
at
this
day
,
is
from
the
Pope
,
and
so
originally
from
the
Devill
as
well
as
his
.
But
these
Episcopall
Rabbies
,
who
are
Cheife
members
of
the
Kingdome
of
Darknesse
,
had
no
other
Argument
to
convince
me
with
,
then
to
put
a
Gagg
in
my
mouth
,
least
I
should
have
shaken
the
foundation
of
their
Antichristian
Kingdome
,
publickly
at
the
Pillary
,
and
least
the
people
(
forsooth
)
should
be
infected
with
my
speeches
,
which
in
their
account
and
estimation
,
are
no
better
then
scandalous
,
factious
,
and
seditious
;
when
as
indeed
they
were
the
words
of
nothing
but
the
naked
Truths
of
God
,
and
did
not
in
the
least
meddle
with
the
persons
of
any
,
or
with
any
temporall
state
matters
,
with
which
I
have
nothing
to
doe
and
say
unto
;
And
therefore
they
could
neither
factious
,
nor
seditious
,
unlesse
the
Booke
of
God
be
faction
and
sedition
,
which
were
blasphemy
once
to
thinke
;
But
indeed
with
the
Prelates
every
thing
that
is
said
or
written
against
their
spirituall
Babilonian
wicked
Kingdome
,
is
counted
faction
and
sedition
;
for
indeed
they
have
no
other
arguments
,
to
maintaine
their
tottering
and
languishing
Kingdome
,
but
Clubb
Law
,
that
is
to
say
,
tyranny
,
blood-thirstinesse
and
cruelty
;
But
take
that
Argument
and
Weapon
away
,
and
then
a
Child
will
disarme
them
,
and
beare
them
,
and
take
away
their
Weapons
from
them
;
And
then
to
ruine
and
destruction
will
their
decaying
Kingdome
come
,
and
also
the
Weapons
that
J
exhorted
and
perswaded
the
people
of
God
,
to
draw
out
against
the
Prelates
,
those
Spirituall
Adversaries
of
the
Kingdome
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
;
was
not
any
temporall
sword
or
Weapon
,
but
only
the
two
edged
sword
of
Gods
Word
,
spoken
off
Hebrews
4
12.
And
they
are
more
described
in
the
sixth
of
the
Ephes.
Also
the
next
day
after
my
sufferings
,
by
Mr.
Ingram
the
Warden
of
the
Fleete
,
I
sent
this
Challeng
in
particular
to
the
Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
earnestly
intreated
him
,
to
deliver
is
to
himselfe
,
that
I
would
dispute
with
him
before
all
the
Nobles
and
Peeres
of
this
Kingdome
;
And
if
I
were
not
able
to
prove
that
his
calling
and
power
is
from
the
Devill
,
I
would
be
willing
to
lose
my
head
.
But
I
pray
you
,
take
notice
of
his
great
learned
Arguments
,
which
he
used
to
confute
me
,
and
defend
himselfe
,
which
were
these
:
Let
him
be
lockt
up
close
prisoner
,
in
the
basest
place
in
the
Wards
of
the
Fleete
;
for
so
runne
the
words
of
the
Order
;
and
let
none
come
at
him
,
least
he
should
infect
any
of
the
people
with
his
errours
,
and
so
be
a
meanes
to
bring
ruine
and
destruction
upon
his
spirituall
Kingdome
.
Oh!
Scholasticall
Arguments
indeed
;
Alas
!
poore
man
,
are
your
eyes
so
sore
,
that
they
cannot
endure
to
looke
upon
the
Sunne
,
or
your
back
so
gawled
,
that
you
cannot
endure
to
be
touched
;
it
seemes
they
are
,
or
else
you
would
never
have
been
affrayde
to
have
met
a
younge
man
in
the
open
feild
,
to
have
tryed
out
the
goodnesse
of
your
cause
,
who
desires
no
other
Weapons
against
you
but
the
Bible
,
the
Word
of
Life
,
and
infallible
judge
of
all
Controversies
,
and
the
Liberty
of
my
Tongue
,
to
speake
freely
without
any
gagging
;
And
yet
you
are
affrayde
,
and
dare
not
meere
me
in
a
publicke
dispute
;
As
poore
,
weake
and
feeble
men
,
let
me
speake
in
the
words
of
the
spirit
of
God
unto
you
,
Ier:
12.
if
you
have
runne
with
Foote-men
,
and
they
wearied
you
,
then
how
can
you
contend
with
Horses
;
And
if
in
the
Land
of
peace
,
wherein
you
trust
,
they
have
wearied
you
,
how
will
you
then
doe
in
the
swellings
of
Jordan
;
That
is
to
say
,
if
you
be
affrayde
of
me
a
younge
beginner
in
the
wayes
of
God
;
Or
if
you
dare
not
venture
in
the
Land
of
peace
,
where
you
have
the
Temporall
power
and
sword
at
command
,
to
incounter
with
me
a
stripling
,
that
never
studied
Philosophy
,
Logick
,
Rhetorick
,
nor
euer
was
at
any
Vniversity
,
to
learne
any
Lattin
,
Greeke
,
or
Hebrew
.
How
will
you
doe
in
the
swelling
of
Iordan
,
when
your
temporall
power
shall
be
taken
away
from
you
,
and
strange
men
of
great
parts
fall
upon
you
,
and
make
open
spirituall
warre
against
you
.
Surely
,
you
will
never
be
able
to
stand
,
for
already
your
Pillars
that
hold
up
your
Kingdome
,
are
growne
so
rotten
;
that
they
cannot
endure
to
be
roughly
handled
or
touched
;
And
therefore
without
doubt
ere
long
your
building
must
needs
fall
,
and
therefore
looke
to
your
heads
,
and
take
notice
,
that
I
have
given
you
warning
of
it
,
least
you
repent
when
it
is
to
late
.
Againe
,
upon
Thursday
,
the
17.
or
18
,
of
May
last
,
I
was
had
before
Sir
Iohn
Bancks
,
and
Mr.
Littleton
,
the
Kings
Attourney
and
Soliciter
Generall
,
to
be
examined
what
J
said
at
the
Pillory
,
before
whom
I
expressed
my
minde
so
freely
,
that
they
were
willing
and
desirous
that
J
should
hold
my
peace
,
and
laboured
with
me
by
fleshly
Arguments
,
as
Peter
did
with
Christ
,
to
save
my selfe
.
But
before
them
I
made
this
challenge
,
and
desired
them
to
tell
it
to
the
Bishops
,
that
I
would
dispute
with
them
all
before
my
Dread
Soveraigne
,
(
whose
faithfull
,
loyall
,
and
humble
subject
I
am
)
to
prove
their
calling
so
farre
from
being
of
God
,
(
as
they
affirme
it
is
)
that
is
is
from
the
Devill
;
And
if
I
were
not
able
to
prove
it
,
(
or
if
I
delivered
any
thing
in
the
proofe
of
it
,
that
deserved
death
,
)
I
would
not
refuse
to
dye
,
or
if
J
held
any
errours
,
if
they
could
by
the
Authority
of
the
Scripture
,
confute
me
,
I
would
publickly
recant
them
.
But
their
Arguments
&
replication
to
this
my
challeng
,
was
:
Lay
him
fast
in
Iron
chains
,
Armes
,
and
Leggs
,
coupled
together
:
And
let
him
lye
in
them
night
and
day
;
And
let
neither
gold
nor
money
,
nor
bookes
,
nor
writings
,
nor
any
other
thing
be
brought
unto
him
,
from
his
freinds
;
And
let
none
come
to
him
,
to
speake
with
him
;
And
if
any
come
to
aske
for
him
,
take
notice
of
their
name
and
place
of
habitation
,
that
so
we
may
overcome
him
with
crueltie
and
Tyrannie
,
and
make
him
submit
,
for
if
we
doe
it
not
by
these
meanes
,
he
will
hardly
be
brought
unto
it
;
And
therefore
Warden
of
the
Fleete
looke
to
it
,
have
a
speciall
care
of
him
,
that
none
come
to
have
any
talke
with
him
,
or
give
him
any
thing
,
that
so
we
may
by
Tyrannie
,
Crueltie
and
Torments
,
overcome
him
,
for
he
leads
away
a
multitude
of
people
,
and
causes
them
to
follow
him
;
And
he
is
of
such
a
lofty
high
spirit
,
that
if
he
goe
on
in
the
way
,
he
will
spoyle
our
tottering
Kingdome
;
And
therefore
put
to
your
best
assistance
,
to
see
if
by
any
meanes
you
can
overcome
him
,
to
get
him
to
submit
.
This
was
the
effect
of
their
speech
.
Oh!
Brave
Episcopall
Arguments
indeed
.
But
J
pray
you
,
did
ever
Christ
or
his
Apostles
,
or
any
of
his
Servants
,
use
any
such
Arguments
,
to
overcome
or
convince
those
that
were
opposite
to
them
in
judgement
?
No
verily
;
in
the
whole
New
Testament
,
we
doe
not
read
that
any
of
Christs
servants
,
for
spirituall
things
,
used
any
such
Weapons
,
or
Clubb
Arguments
as
these
;
for
they
used
nothing
but
spirituall
Weapons
,
to
overcome
ther
enemies
;
And
with
the
sharpe
two
edged
sword
of
Gods
Word
;
Heb.
4.12
.
Rev:
19.15
;
they
fought
against
their
Adversaries
,
by
this
and
by
this
alone
,
they
did
overcome
them
;
And
Peter
with
this
one
Weapon
did
strike
downe
three
thousand
of
them
at
a
blow
,
and
made
them
yeeld
subjection
to
the
Kingdome
of
Christ
;
Acts
2.
And
we
never
reade
of
any
temporall
Weapon
that
they
made
use
of
to
defend
themselves
against
their
Opposites
;
For
,
saith
Paul
,
the
Weapons
of
our
warfar
are
not
carnall
,
but
mighty
through
God
to
the
pulling
downe
of
strong
holds
,
and
casting
downe
imaginations
;
and
every
high
thing
that
exalteth
it selfe
against
the
knowledge
of
God
,
&
bringing
into
captivity
every
thought
into
the
obedience
of
Christ
;
2
Cor.
10.4.5
.
These
be
the
Weapons
,
and
these
alone
of
the
servants
of
God
;
But
on
the
contrary
,
the
servants
of
the
Devill
,
their
Weapons
are
Tyrannie
,
crueltie
,
and
shedding
of
blood
,
Rev.

and

and
13.7.15.16.17

where
the
Holy
Ghost
saith
,
that
the
Beast
(
the
cheife
members
of
whom
the
Prelates
are
)
should
make
warre
with
the
Saints
,
&
should
overcome
them
;
&
cause
them
as
many
as
would
not
worship
the
Image
of
the
Beast
,
should
be
killed
;
and
that
none
might
buy
or
sell
,
save
he
that
had
the
marke
of
the
Beast
,
or
the
number
of
his
name
;
And
whether
the
Prelates
doe
not
in
every
thing
make
good
this
portion
of
Scripture
(
for
I
know
some
that
are
excommunicated
by
them
,
and
that
they
must
neither
buy
nor
sell
,
nor
eate
nor
drinke
with
any
man
)
let
their
constant
cruel
unheard
of
blood-thirstie
practises
,
declare
,
witnesse
&
manifest
;
and
therfore
,
Oh
you
Prelats
,
you
doe
plainly
shew
whose
sonnes
&
servants
you
are
;
namely
,
the
sonnes
&
servants
of
the
Devill
himselfe
,
as
Christ
himself
doth
prove
&
declare
who
hath
given
a
lively
&
true
description
of
the
childred
&
servants
of
the
Devill
,
saying
unto
the
Iewes
,
who
sought
to
kill
him
,
(
as
the
the
Prelats
doe
his
faithfull
people
&
servants
,
)
who
boasted
that
they
were
Abrahams
sonnes
&
Children
;
But
,
saith
he
,
if
you
were
the
Children
of
Abraham
,
you
would
do
the
workes
of
Abraham
,
but
yee
are
of
your
father
the
Diuell
,
and
the
lusts
of
your
father
yee
will
doe
.
Hee
was
a
murtherer
from
the
beginning
&
abode
not
in
the
truth
,
because
there
is
no
truth
in
him
,
when
he
speaketh
a
lie
he
speaketh
of
his
owne
,
for
he
is
a
lyar
and
the
father
of
it
;
Iohn
8.39.40
.
Here
(
Oh
you
Prelates
)
Christ
doth
show
how
his
people
&
servants
may
assuredly
know
you
to
be
sons
&
servants
of
the
devill
;
for
he
describes
&
sets
you
forth
by
two
markes
;
first
,
the
Devill
is
a
murderer
,
so
are
you
;
therfore
you
are
his
sonns
,
&
he
is
your
father
,
for
have
you
not
taken
away
the
lives
of
Gods
faithfull
people
&
servants
.
Witnesse
those
that
went
to
Tiburne
by
your
procurment
&
meanes
,
in
Queene
Elizabeths
time
,
who
were
neither
Traitours
nor
Rebels
,
but
faithfull
subjects
,
&
servants
to
her
Majestie
;
but
only
they
were
opposit
to
your
Antichristian
&
Babilonian
Kingdome
,
and
therfore
you
caused
them
to
be
murdred
;
and
more
you
would
have
murdred
,
but
her
clemencie
&
mercy
was
such
,
that
she
would
not
to
the
full
satisfy
your
blood-thirstie
murdering
desire
.
Also
have
you
not
kept
others
in
prison
,
till
you
have
undone
them
in
their
outward
estats
,
&
means
,
that
you
have
made
them
to
pine
away
with
hunger
&
want
;
which
the
Holy
Ghost
saith
,
is
a
torment
worse
then
to
be
put
to
death
by
the
sword
;
Lament.
And
some
have
lost
their
lives
by
your
meanes
in
prison
;
And
also
have
not
ye
,
even
ye
,
shed
the
blood
of
those
three
worthies
of
the
Lord
only
for
spirituall
things
,
who
were
neither
Traitours
nor
Rebels
,
(
but
faithfuller
subjects
then
your
selvs
,
as
they
have
proved
in
their
crosse-bill
against
you
)
and
did
write
nor
teach
,
neither
treason
,
sedition
,
nor
rebellion
,
but
only
opposed
themselves
against
your
ungodly
wicked
Kingdome
;
The
memory
of
that
unpareleld
act
of
crueltie
,
is
yet
fresh
both
in
your
eyes
&
eares
,
the
like
whereof
in
any
Christian
state
,
where
the
gospel
hath
been
professed
,
was
never
heard
of
in
the
world
;
I
know
others
have
had
too
deepe
a
hand
in
,
being
your
assistants
,
and
have
condescended
too
much
to
your
wicked
desires
;
But
with
them
I
will
not
,
nor
doe
not
in
the
least
meddle
,
nor
have
nothing
to
say
to
them
,
but
pray
,
and
desire
God
to
open
their
eyes
,
and
to
give
them
true
repentance
for
their
sin
,
if
it
be
his
will
&
pleasure
,
&
so
I
leave
them
.
But
you
&
you
only
have
been
the
originall
fountaine
&
true
cause
of
all
the
righteous
blood
that
hath
been
shed
in
this
land
or
Kingdom
,
for
matters
of
Religion
&
conscience
,
ever
since
the
dayes
of
your
first
predecessour
,
Austin
the
Monke
,
(
even
unto
this
present
houre
,
)
who
came
from
the
bloody
Citty
of
Rome
,
Rev.
17.
with
Antichrists
Authoritie
&
Law
,
the
foundation
of
his
&
your
Kingdome
,
with
exceeding
much
blood
,
as
we
reade
in
Francis
Godwins
Cattalogue
of
Bishops
,
from
the
37.
page
to
the
48.
And
it
hath
beene
by
you
&
your
forefathers
maintained
&
upheld
by
Tyrannie
&
blood
,
ever
since
to
this
very
time
,
as
I
will
justifie
it
&
maintaine
it
before
your
faces
,
age
after
age
,
even
unto
this
very
day
.
And
the
foresaid
Author
in
that
Booke
,
who
was
a
Bishop
,
&
one
of
your
owne
Creatures
,
for
his
booke
of
Meeters
doth
in
part
prove
it
;
and
therefore
know
assuredly
,
that
the
Lord
will
require
the
righteous
blood
of
all
his
Saints
&
servants
at
your
hands
,
which
you
&
your
murdering
Predecessours
,
have
spilt
in
abundant
manner
.
And
to
me
that
am
but
a
poore
,
weake
&
young
stripling
,
little
above
20.
yeares
of
age
,
who
you
have
cast
into
prison
,
for
a
thing
I
was
not
guiltie
off
,
as
I
declared
before
the
faces
of
the
Cheif
of
you
;
&
yet
you
have
condemned
me
upon
two
false
oaths
,
in
which
the
partie
,
as
I
am
able
to
prove
,
hath
sworne
flatly
against
himselfe
;
for
in
his
first
Oath
he
sweareth
,
that
I
&
Mr.
Wharton
had
printed
Doctor
Bastwicks
Bookes
together
;
and
then
in
his
second
Oath
he
swore
,
that
I
did
them
alone
;
And
upon
these
grounds
you
have
exercised
upon
me
such
unheard
of
acts
of
crueltie
,
that
the
like
wherof
Paul
himselfe
among
all
those
tyrants
&
strange
Beasts
,
Heathens
&
Pagans
,
with
whom
he
had
to
deale
,
had
never
exercised
&
inflicted
upon
him
,
though
he
was
the
greatest
sufferer
,
2
Cor.
11.
that
ever
I
read
off
;
but
only
Christ
,
who
for
the
sake
&
the
salvation
of
his
elect
,
underwent
the
wrath
of
God
himselfe
,
which
no
abstracted
Creature
was
able
to
stand
under
.
But
first
,
in
all
Pauls
sufferings
,
I
never
reade
that
ever
his
mouth
was
gaged
,
but
you
have
gaggd
me
,
for
speaking
neither
lyes
,
faction
,
nor
sedition
,
but
only
the
naked
Truth
;
(
the
space
of
an
houre
&
halfe
)
whereas
if
I
had
uttered
any
errours
,
or
untruths
,
you
being
(
as
you
say
you
are
)
spirituall
Fathers
,
you
ought
there
publjckly
to
have
confuted
me
,
in
the
presence
of
the
people
,
you
cannot
say
but
you
heard
of
it
,
for
two
of
the
Cheife
of
you
were
in
the
Starr-Chamber
at
that
time
,
being
hard
by
where
I
stoode
.
Againe
,
the
Heathens
and
Pagans
would
not
condemne
Paul
,
as
you
may
reade
Acts
25.
till
his
accusers
were
brought
face
to
face
,
to
justifie
&
prove
their
accusation
;
but
you
have
caused
me
to
be
condemned
,
and
my
accusers
were
never
brought
face
to
face
,
to
justifie
any
thing
against
me
.
And
you
William
Laud
,
Prelate
of
Canterburie
,
for
so
I
call
you
,
and
will
not
in
the
least
revile
your
person
,
by
calling
you
out
of
your
name
;
You
,
I
say
,
know
very
well
,
that
in
the
making
of
my
defence
before
the
honourable
Lords
,
I
to
your
face
did
silence
you
in
the
presence
of
the
open
Court
,
that
you
had
not
one
word
to
say
unto
me
,
but
sate
downe
as
it
seemed
to
me
,
in
a
great
chaffe
&
rage
,
your
face
being
as
redd
as
the
face
of
him
,
whose
countenance
did
declare
,
your
heart
thirsted
after
my
blood
,
and
part
of
it
you
have
gott
,
but
you
are
never
the
better
for
it
,
nor
I
nothing
the
worse
for
leaving
of
it
,
but
much
the
better
;
for
it
hath
beene
a
meanes
the
Lord
working
with
it
,
to
purge
my
soule
from
a
great
deale
of
corruption
,
&
drosse
,
hath
mightily
cleared
up
my
understanding
,
that
I
have
gott
a
more
true
insight
by
many
degrees
,
into
the
true
wayes
of
God
then
I
had
before
;
for
I
was
very
ignorant
of
them
before
,
the
stripes
purged
out
my
ignorance
;
for
the
eys
of
my
understanding
were
like
the
eyes
of
the
man
in
the
Gospell
,
who
when
Christ
had
opened
them
,
did
see
men
walking
as
trees
afarre
off
;
even
so
,
and
no
better
did
I
,
for
I
saw
the
truths
of
God
but
darkely
&
afarre
off
,
in
a
hidden
manner
;
but
since
that
the
Lord
hath
taken
away
the
scales
of
ignorance
&
blindnesse
that
did
hang
upon
my
understanding
,
and
hath
annointed
my
eyes
with
true
&
spirituall
eye-salve
,
so
that
I
see
very
much
clearer
into
the
pure
waies
of
God
,
then
I
did
before
,
for
they
were
hidd
from
my
eyes
,
but
now
the
Lord
himselfe
hath
revealed
them
unto
me
;
but
know
ye
that
the
Lord
will
one
day
in
flaming
and
burning
fire
(
if
you
repent
not
,
but
I
thinke
some
of
you
are
past
it
,
Matth:
12.31.32
.
Mark
:
3.29
.
)
render
you
a
recompence
,
for
your
blood-thirstie
Tyrannie
,
inflicted
upon
me
,
his
poore
,
younge
and
weake
servant
;
But
unto
him
I
committ
my selfe
and
my
cause
,
knowing
that
vengeance
is
his
,
and
he
will
repay
it
one
day
upon
your
heads
and
pates
.
Againe
,
Paul
when
he
was
a
prisoner
in
the
Custody
of
the
very
Pagans
,
that
had
nothing
but
the
light
of
nature
,
to
guide
them
in
the
wayes
of
God
;
yet
notwithstanding
Felix
the
Governour
gave
command
to
the
Centurion
,
who
kept
Paul
,
that
he
might
have
liberty
,
and
that
he
should
forbid
none
of
his
acquaintance
and
Freinds
to
come
to
him
,
and
minister
to
his
wants
and
necessity
;
Acts
24.23
.
also
when
he
was
going
to
Rome
,
prisoner
,
Iulius
the
Centurion
,
in
whose
Custody
he
was
,
yet
though
he
were
but
a
Heathen
,
gave
him
liberty
to
goe
to
his
freinds
,
to
refresh
himselfe
;
Acts
27
3.
Yea
when
he
was
come
prisoner
to
Rome
,
yet
the
very
infidels
had
so
much
humanity
,
courtesy
and
mercy
in
them
,
as
not
to
lock
up
Paul
close
prisoner
,
in
a
base
&
obscure
place
,
so
that
none
might
come
to
him
,
to
speake
with
him
,
or
bring
him
any
thing
;
And
yet
Tertullus
the
Orator
(
one
of
the
Prelates
Brethren
had
accused
him
for
a
pestilent
fellow
,
and
a
mover
of
sedition
among
all
the
Iewes
throughout
the
World
,
and
a
ring
leader
of
the
Sect
of
the
Nazarens
;
Yet
they
let
him
dwell
by
himselfe
,
with
a
souldier
that
kept
him
,
two
whole
yeares
,
in
his
owne
hired
house
,
where
he
had
libertie
to
receive
all
that
came
unto
him
,
Acts
the
last
Chapter
.
Oh!
Paul
,
it
was
well
for
thee
,
and
happie
wast
thou
that
thou
hadst
to
deale
with
Pagans
,
in
whose
eyes
I
am
sure
thou
didst
finde
more
favour
and
mercy
,
then
if
thou
wast
alive
,
and
wert
now
in
England
in
the
like
case
,
shouldst
finde
at
the
hands
of
those
that
are
Christians
,
in
name
and
boast
;
And
say
of
themselves
,
that
they
are
thy
successors
,
but
are
indeed
&
in
truth
,
the
Disciples
of
the
Devill
&
Antichrist
,
as
I
have
already
proved
,
for
thongh
all
the
Prelates
in
England
were
not
able
,
having
no
grounded
ca●e
to
make
such
an
accusation
against
me
as
Tertullus
did
against
Paul
;
Yet
for
all
that
have
they
caused
me
to
be
laid
in
fetters
and
locks
of
Iron
,
in
a
close
roome
lockt
up
close
prisoner
,
from
the
society
of
any
;
Commanding
that
none
should
be
admitted
to
com
to
me
,
to
speak
with
me
,
nor
to
bring
me
any
thing
;
Also
they
are
so
farre
from
letting
me
to
have
libertie
to
goe
and
see
my
freinds
,
as
Paul
had
;
That
they
will
not
so
much
as
with
a
Keeper
suffer
me
to
walke
a
little
in
the
prison-Yard
,
to
take
a
little
aire
for
my
refreshing
;
my
health
being
impaired
for
want
of
aire
,
and
stirring
my selfe
,
which
I
cannot
in
the
least
doe
,
without
much
trouble
,
by
reason
of
my
Irons
;
And
I
have
beene
lockt
up
close
prisoner
about
4
Moneths
,
and
not
suffered
in
the
least
to
stirr
out
of
my
lodging
;
but
when
they
had
me
forth
before
the
Majestrate
;
Yea
the
Warden
of
the
Fleete
hath
denied
me
penn
,
inke
and
paper
,
only
to
write
a
short
petition
to
the
Lords
of
the
Counsell
,
(
in
the
presence
of
my
Keeper
)
that
J
might
have
but
so
much
libertie
as
to
take
a
little
aire
in
the
narrow
Yard
,
in
the
common
Iayle
,
for
my
refreshing
.
Oh!
all
you
Christian
eares
that
heare
of
these
things
,
stand
amaized
and
wonder
at
the
blood-thirsty
,
vnparaleld
crueltie
and
tyranny
of
the
Bishops
,
which
they
haue
caused
to
be
inflicted
vpon
me
,
and
had
no
grounded
cause
originally
for
to
do
it
,
but
onely
hearing
that
I
set
my
●ace
towards
Sion
,
as
one

after

part
of
which
they
haue

and
yet
are
not
satisfied
,
but
longe
to
pick
my
carkeises
&

.
Now
we
do
not
read
of
the
like
cruelty
inflicted
vpon
any
of
the
Apostles
or
their
followers
,
in
all
the

,
by
any
of

(
Tirants

Pagans
,
Infidels
&
Heathens
)
that
persecuted
them
,
which
they
have
caused
to
be
inflicted
vpon
me
;
whom
they
are
not
able
justlie
to
accuse
,
of
the
breach
of
the
least
Commandement
or
lawes
,
of
God
or

;
though
I
do
confesse
with
David
,
that
J
haue
secret
sinnes

.
and
with
Paul
that
I
haue
a
body
of
sinne
within
me

.
Yet
I
can
say
in
the
presence
of
my
God
,
and
speake
the
words
of
truth
,
that
I
do
desire
and
labour
to
be
cleansed
from
them
all
.
Also
I
haue
challenged
them
to
dispute
with
them
for
my
life
,
before
the
King
,
to
prove
their
Calling
to
be
from
the
Divell
,
and
if
I
were
erronious
,
&
if
they
by
Gods
word
could
confute
me
,
I
would
recaunt
publickly
.
But
their
surest
pley
and
infallible
Arguments
to
convince
me
,
was

and
basest
place
in

let
the
stone
Walls
and

convince
him
,
for
we
dare
not
meete
him
in
the
plaine
feild
,
in
a
publick
dispute
,
though
he
be
but
an
unlearned
youth
;
And
if
it
be
possible
,
keepe
him
in
darknesse
and
obscuritie
;
And
if
you
can
doe
it
handsomely
,
that
the
World
can
take
no
notice
of
it
,
starve
him
,
for
we
command
you
to
let
nothing
be
brought
unto

you

who
are

Oh!
you
Night-Owles

that
dare
not

your
crooked
faces
in
the
bright

light

cleare
Crystall

of
Gods
sacred
and

;
It
sheweth
&
demonstrateth
to
all
the

,
that
you
are
a
Company
of
deformed
Creatures
,
and
Sonnes
of
Darknesse
,
impiety
,
wickednesse
&
ungodlinesse
;
Or
else
you
would
lay
aside
your
Cowardly
Clubb-Arguments
,
and
come
into
the
face
of
the
open
Sunne
,
that
there
you
may
be
seene
,
whether
you
be
rotten
or
sound
,
or
whether
you
be
true
gold
or
nothing
but
durt
&
drosse
,
which
is
good
for
nothing
but
the
dunghill
,
or
whether
your
Kingdome
be
the
Kingdome
of
Christ
,
or
the
Kingdome
of
the
Divell
,
for
of
necessity
it
must
be
one
of
these
,
for
there
is
no
more
spirituall
Kingdomes
in
the
world
but
these
two
.
Or
whether
you
your selves
be
servants
of
Christ
,
or
the
servants
and
true
subjects
of
the
Divell
.
But
your
hating
of
the
truth
and
blaspheaming
of
it
,
calling
it
the
Refuge
of
Heritickes
,
as
you
did
in
your
open
Court
,
at
the
Censure
of
that
worthy
Doctour
,
Doctour
Iohn
Bastwicke
.
And
also
your
hating
and
bloody
persecuting
of
them
that
loue
it
,
doth
vndenyably
declare
and
manifest
what
you
are
,
and
of
whom
your
Kingdom
doth
depend
.
For
Christ
saith
every
one
that
doth
evill
hates
the
sight
,
neither
cometh
to
the
light
,
least
his
deedes
should
be
reproved

.
Truely
you
plainelie
shew
,
that
you
are
men
of
darknesse
,
and
workers
of
wickednes
and
iniquitie
,
for
you
cannot
endure
the
light
,
for
it
is
too
cleare
&
too
bright
for
you
,
to
come
nakedlie
and
openlie
and
shew
your selues
before
it
;
because
you
are
men
of
darknesse
and
evill
doers
,
and
therefore
you
hate
the
light
;
but
if
you
were
men
that
were
workers
of
righteousnesse
,
and
walked
in
the
waies
of
truth
,
you
would
not
be
affraide
to
be
tried
by
the
light
of
it
,
but
would
desire
to
be
brought
vnto
it
.
And
in
the
former
place
Christ
saith
,
he
that
doth
truth
cometh
to
the
light
,
that
his
deeds
may
be
made
manifest
,
that
they
are
wrought
in
God
;
and
therefore
to
conclude
this
point
,
I
will
say
no
more
then
Christ
saith
,
you
may
know
the
tree
by
the
fruit
,
for
a
bad
tree
doth
not
bring
forth
good
fruit
,
nor

good

In
the
second
place
,
Christ
saith
,
The
Divell
abode
not
in
the
truth
,
because
there
is
no
truth
in
him
,
when
he
speaketh
a
ly
he
speakth
it
of
his
owne
for
he
is
a
lyar
and
the
father
of
it
.
Here
Christ
shewes
that
the
Children
of
the
Divell
abide
not
in
the
truth
,
but
haue
their
soules
filled
with
lyes
.
And
whether
you
the
Prelates
be
not
such
,
I
appeale
even
to
your
owne
writings
,
sayings
&
doeings
,
the
most
of
whose
writings
are
stuffed
with
many
vntruths
,
having
almost
as
many
lies
in
them
as
pages
.
And
for
the
vntruths
delivered
in
your
Court
Sermons
,
Worthy
Doctour
Bastwicke
in
the
third
part
of
his
Letany
,
hath
painted
out
in
there
colours
,
yea
what
damnable
Doctrines
are
there
taught
(
saving
some
few
)
agreeing
with
the
Filthy
Whore
&
Strumpet
of
Rome
,
as
that
forenamed
Doctour
doth
proue
in
the
second
part
of
his
Letany
,
with
which
he
doth
most
truely
paralel
you
,
that
you
are
in
a
manner
both
of
one
corruption
,
yea
among
all
the
rest
he
there
proues
;
that
you
hold
and
maintaine
that
monstrous
and
horrable
Doctrine
of
Transubstantiation
,
that
is
to
say
:
That
the
Body
of
Christ
,
is
reallie
,
corperallie
,
and
essentiallie
in
the
Sacrament
of
his
Supper
.
And
this
also
may
be
proved
out
of
the
great
Prelats
speech
,
made
before
the
honorable
Lords
,
at
the
Censure
of
the
three
late
worthies
.
Yea
whole
Vollumes
may
be
made
,
of
those
damnable
Doctrins
that
you
hold
,
&
are
not
ashamd
to
publish
them
to
the
view
of
the
whole
world
(
Cum
Privilegio
)
especialy
in
your
late
printed
Bookes
.
By
all
which
you
proue
&
make
good
this
portion
of
Scripture
;
that
you
are
of
your
father
the
Divell
,
because
you
do
not
abide
in
the
truth
,
but
speake
,
preach
,
write
and
maintaine
false
lies
,
wicked
and
damnable
Doctrines
.
Thus
haue
I
by
the
strength
of
my
God
,
a
litle
deciphered
you
in
a
brief
way
.
But
it
may
be
,
you
will
be
like
a
nest
of
Wasps
,
which
being
stirred
will
flie
about
my
eares
,
with
your
Scorpion
stings
,
but
if
you
do
,
it
will
manifest
you
to
be
part
of
those
Locusts
(
as
you
are
indeede
and
in
truth
)
that
came
out
of
the
bottomlesse
pitt

of
whom
the
Hoy
Ghost
saith
;
that
they
had
tailes
like
Scorpions
,
and
there
were
stings
in
there
tailes
,
and
they
had
power
to
hurt
men
verse
10.
But
be
it
known
vnto
you
,
that
I
am
not
in
the
least
affraid
of
you
,
for
I
neither
feare
an
Axe
at
Tower
hill
,
nor
a
Stake
in
Smithfield
,
nor
a-Halter
at
Tyburne
,
nor
Whipping
at
a
Carts-arfe
,
nor
a
Pillary
in
the
Pallice-yard
nor
Gagging
,
nor
Cutting
of
eares
and
nose
,
nor
Burning
in
the
forehead
or
cheeks
,
nor
yet
Banishment
with
Iohn
to
Pathmos
.
For
I
verilie
beleeve
if
you
should
send
me
thither
,
I
shall
there
finde
Christ
,
which
by
his
spirit
will
vnfold
the
Revelation
vnto
me
,
and
then
J
would
write
it
and
send
it
abroad
into
the
world
,
and
it
would
vex
you
as
ill
,
as
Sampson
did
the
Philistims
,
&
proue
as
fatall
to
your
decaying
,
tottering
,
spirituall
Babilonian
Antichristian
Kingdome
,
as
his
Foxes
with
fire-brands
at
their
tailes
,
were
to
the
Philistims
Corne.
And
therefore
as
you
loue
your
almost
ruinated
Kingdome
,
looke
to
it
,
and
knowe
that
the
faster
you
kicke
,
the
harder
I
will
spurre
you
,
&
the
more
you
fling
,
the
closer
will
I
sticke
&
cleave
fast
vnto
you
;
for
you
are
plants
(
which
I
groundedly
know
)
the
Lord
never
planted
,
&
therfore
vndoubtedly
he
will
plucke
you
up

therefore

of

is

For
I
am
resolved
come
life
,
come
death
,
seeing
you
by
force
&
crueltie
haue
called
me
to
it
,
to
shewe
my selfe
valiant
for
the
truth
of
God
,
Ier.
9.3
.
I
alreadie
made
three
Challenges
to
dispute
with
you
,
but
you
are
so
Cowardlie
,
that
you
dare
not
to
come
into
the
plaine
and
open
field
,
but
you
fight
with
tyrant-like
weapons
,
namelie
:
with
crueltie
.
And
therefore
to
see
whether
you
haue
any
manhoode
in
you
or
noe
,
J
make
&
send
forth
this
fourth
Challenge
,
to
you
Bishops
&
Prelates
,
which
is
this
.
That
I
will
(
if
you
please
)
dispute
with
you
all
,
face
to
face
,
before
the
King
and
State
,
for
life
and
libertie
;
vpon
these
ensueing
Propositions
.
First
,
To
proue
that
the
Popes
Power
is
from
the
Divell
.
Secondly
,
That
your
Calling
,
Power
,
Authoritie
&
Iurisdiction
,
is
from
the
Pope
.
Thirdly
,
That
all
Gods
people
,
are
bound
vnder
paine
of
eternall
damnation
,
to
withdraw
their
spirituall
obedience
and
subjection
,
from
your
spirituall
law
and
Kingdome
.
Now
vnpon
these
propositions
will
I
dispute
with
you
all
,
and
venter
life
for
life
,
before
the
King
and
State
,
vpon
these
tearmes
.
First
,
That
you
shall
lay
aside
Club-Arguments
,
which
is
take
him
Iaylour
,
and
lay
him
in
Irons
,
and
locke
him
up
close
Prisoner
,
and
keep
him
in
safe
custodie
.
Secondly
,
That
the
Booke
of
God
,
which
is
an
infallible
truth
,
shall
be
the
sole
Iudge
of
the
Controversie
Thirdly
,
That
J
may
haue
libertie
,
without
being
Gagged
,
to
speake
my
minde
freelie
and
boldlie
.
Fourthly
,
That
J
may
haue
the
vse
of
some
books
which
I
shall
chuse
.
And
if
you
dare
grant
me
these
4
things
,
if
I
be
not
able
to
proue
all
the
fore
said
Positions
,
by
demonstrable
and
vndeniable
arguments
,
that
you
shall
not
be
able
in
the
words
of
truth
to
gainsay
or
deny
them
.
I
wil
be
willing
to
lose
my
head
and
life
,
therefore
take
notice
of
what
J
haue
now
the
fourth
time
said
and
challenged
you
to
your
faces
,
(
for
I
intend
to
send
you
this
)
that
in
the
presence
of
the
King
and
Nobles
you
will
make
it
good
,
and
therefore
if
you
be
not
Cowards
,
fitt
yourselues
to
come
into
the
open
pitched
field
face
to
face
.
Also
be
it
knowne
vnto
you
,
that
I
will
at
Pauls
Crosse
,
dispute
with
all
your
Priests
and
Deacons
,
vpon
these
Propositions
.
First
,
That
they
are
all
of
them
,
Servants
&
Ministers
of
Antichrist
.
Secondly
,
That
in
the
place
and
standing
they
are
now
in
,
at
this
present
,
they
haue
no
authority
from
God
to
preach
his
word
,
nor
administer
any
of
his
sacred
ordinances
to
the
peole
,
nor
the
people
any
ground
or
warrant
out
of
the
word
of
God
,
to
heare
the
word
from
,
or
pertake
with
them
.
Thirdly
,
That
the
Church
of
England
as
at
this
day
it
stands
,
is
Antichristian
,
both
in
Power
,
in
Matter
,
in
Ministrie
,
in
Forme
and
in
Woshirppe
.
Fourrhly
,
That
all
Gods
people
are
bound
in
duty
&
conscience
,
to
separate
away
from
it
,
&
to
haue
no
communion
with
it
.
All
which
things
,
if
J
be
not
able
to
proue
against
them
all
,
laying
aside
(
as
I
said
before
)
all
Club
law
,
and
letting
the
word
of
God
be
the
sole
Judge
of
the
controversie
;
I
will
be
bound
to
preach
a
Recanting
Sermon
in
every
Citty
in
the
Kingdome
.
