ANIMADVERSIONS
Upon
a
Book
entituled
Inquisition
for
the
Blood
of
our
late
Soveraign
,
&c.
AND
Upon
the
offence
taken
at
it
.
Sect.
I.
THat
I
did
deny
my
name
,
to
go
forth
with
that
Book
,
when
it
was
first
published
,
was
I
think
,
a
foolish
or
weak
niceness
?
Possibly
the
want
of
that
courage
and
confidence
,
that
was
due
,
both
to
my self
and
it
,
may
expose
both
to
the
greater
contempt
:
But
I
did
resolve
in
my
mind
,
and
promise
,
that
if
ever
it
came
to
be
questioned
,
I
would
own
it
;
and
either
correct
and
amend
it
,
if
it
needed
;
or
else
justifie
and
defend
it
,
if
it
deserved
it
.
What
I
promise
,
is
ordinarily
required
of
me
;
and
if
it
be
,
I
am
bound
to
perform
it
:
There
is
a
justice
due
to
things
,
as
well
as
to
persons
:
If
to
any
thing
,
then
certainly
to
a
mans
own
works
,
which
are
his
children
,
and
therefore
he
ought
to
Father
them
;
and
either
to
call
them
home
,
or
maintain
them
abroad
.
A
mans
Spirit
,
Religion
and
Name
,
are
all
tender
things
;
if
I
have
any
sense
of
any
of
them
,
or
of
my self
,
and
what
I
have
done
,
I
cannot
but
resent
the
grievous
offence
that
is
taken
at
that
book
,
and
at
me
for
writing
of
it
:
The
minds
of
many
are
exceedingly
disturbed
at
it
;
and
the
censures
run
as
high
against
it
,
and
me
,
as
possibly
they
can
:
It
is
judged
,
the
very
Spirit
of
Antichrist
,
and
of
the
Devil
,
the
sin
against
the
Holy-Ghost
,
Apostacy
,
Persecution
,
Treachery
,
Bloodiness
and
Cruelty
:
And
the
condemnation
is
answerable
,
the
curse
of
horrour
,
despair
,
and
self-destruction
;
which
are
not
only
threatned
,
and
expected
,
but
reported
to
be
already
upon
me
.
These
things
are
in
their
own
nature
weighty
,
and
they
come
thick
upon
me
,
from
all
sects
and
sorts
of
people
;
from
friends
and
strangers
;
and
discharged
at
me
,
from
their
very
hearts
,
with
all
the
strength
of
their
Religion
,
with
all
their
might
;
in
a
bitter
and
angry
Spirit
,
sharp
and
fierce
;
and
in
some
with
great
seriousness
and
gravity
;
yea
in
love
to
me
:
And
most
of
them
solemnly
in
the
name
of
God
,
and
for
his
cause
;
as
against
an
enemy
to
God
,
to
godliness
,
and
to
his
people
:
This
is
the
sense
I
have
of
them
,
and
I
think
the
description
is
just
and
true
:
These
things
being
breathed
forth
from
men
,
friends
,
Christians
professing
godliness
and
the
Spirit
of
God
:
besides
the
common
rage
that
foames
out
,
Rogue
,
Jesuite
,
hang
him
,
&c.
They
do
requite
and
justly
challenge
from
me
,
that
I
should
Animadvert
,
and
duly
consider
what
these
things
are
?
whence
they
come
?
What
they
would
have
?
and
what
I
am
,
and
have
done
to
deserve
them
?
As
these
things
drive
me
in
to
review
both
my self
and
book
;
so
they
do
peal
and
call
me
forth
,
to
shew
in
what
Spirit
and
Light
I
live
;
from
what
root
this
work
came
,
and
upon
what
foundation
,
that
and
my self
stand
;
so
that
I
now
count
my self
bound
,
not
only
in
honour
and
justice
,
but
in
love
,
freely
to
open
and
discover
my self
,
and
my
mind
and
spirit
,
concerning
my self
,
my
book
,
and
the
great
offence
taken
at
it
.
I
confess
,
I
do
feel
that
these
censures
are
high
,
and
that
men
are
hearty
and
serious
in
them
,
and
do
lay
them
on
with
all
their
strength
,
and
with
a
sharp
spirit
,
angred
and
provoked
:
And
that
they
do
sometimes
sting
and
twinge
a
little
,
and
consequently
stir
some
choler
in
me
,
that
I
could
be
as
heartily
angry
at
others
,
as
others
are
at
me
:
But
as
yet
I
do
not
find
that
they
go
deep
,
or
abide
long
in
me
:
But
on
the
contrary
,
I
have
been
well
able
to
bear
them
;
yea
to
slight
and
neglect
them
,
as
sick
and
sore
passions
,
which
cannot
live
long
;
and
although
they
stumble
at
me
,
and
bruise
me
,
yet
if
I
did
but
lie
still
,
I
should
quickly
see
them
faln
in
their
own
dirt
,
by
their
own
darkness
and
weakness
:
For
that
I
find
constantly
to
be
the
nature
of
Passion
,
it
is
a
blind
thing
that
runs
it self
into
ruin
,
and
needs
no
enemy
to
destroy
it
:
it
is
the
Gunpowder
of
the
mind
,
while
it
is
shot
at
another
,
it
doth
crack
,
stink
and
vanish
.
As
I
must
confess
they
do
sometimes
sting
a
little
;
so
I
must
profess
that
hitherto
they
have
not
only
been
tolerable
and
easie
to
bear
,
but
that
I
have
had
pleasure
in
suffering
of
them
:
I
shall
honestly
discover
the
reason
of
it
to
you
;
in
justice
to
truth
,
and
in
love
to
you
;
that
you
may
hereafter
learn
,
better
to
bear
the
reproofs
that
either
I
,
or
others
shall
charge
upon
you
;
if
you
do
indeed
find
the
same
cause
in
you
.
What
ever
infirmities
are
either
in
my self
,
or
the
Book
;
I
know
most
certainly
,
and
feel
,
that
I
am
not
that
,
which
I
am
judged
to
be
:
or
if
I
am
all
that
,
I
am
also
something
else
,
that
supports
me
under
it
;
else
I
could
not
live
:
I
know
assuredly
,
that
there
is
both
Truth
,
Reason
,
Love
and
Innocency
in
me
,
and
in
what
I
have
written
,
however
it
is
vailed
,
and
therefore
people
are
much
mistaken
in
me
:
Learn
this
then
.
That
Truth
,
Love
and
Innocency
,
have
a
constant
peace
in
them
,
that
none
can
take
from
them
;
When
under
infirmity
,
and
under
Judgements
and
Trials
for
infirmity
,
they
have
then
a
singular
and
special
lustre
,
and
brightness
in
them
,
and
an
answerable
complacency
:
For
he
that
indeed
enjoyes
these
things
,
knows
that
he
hath
a
royalty
within
himself
,
an
autarchie
,
content
and
self-sufficiency
:
And
not
only
sufficient
to
bear
,
but
an
absolute
and
supream
authority
,
by
which
he
can
deliver
himself
from
the
judgement
of
others
,
as
weak
,
remote
and
ignorant
,
and
can
justifie
himself
:
Truth
knowing
its
own
sufficiency
,
ability
and
authority
,
to
deliver
it self
both
from
its
own
weakness
and
others
mistakes
,
secretly
triumphs
,
&
is
well
pleased
to
lie
down
under
,
and
to
rise
up
out
of
obscurity
:
These
things
I
discover
to
you
,
as
my
present
and
constant
experience
,
knowing
that
you
have
great
need
of
them
in
this
day
of
your
rebuke
:
if
you
have
them
not
,
search
for
them
;
they
will
be
far
better
then
striving
with
,
or
victory
over
enemies
.
I
was
for
some
time
passive
and
quiet
under
these
hard
censures
,
and
much
more
at
rest
in
my
mind
since
I
writ
the
Book
,
then
before
:
Be
it
good
or
bad
,
be
the
mistakes
in
it
,
or
concerning
it
,
what
they
will
;
I
am
thus
far
well
satisfied
,
as
to
my self
,
it
is
better
out
then
in
.
It
was
a
burden
to
me
,
while
it
was
in
me
,
and
an
ease
to
be
delivered
of
it
.
Being
quiet
and
still
under
his
storm
,
I
was
at
work
about
another
piece
;
drawing
a
line
of
History
,
Divine
and
Spiritual
,
Humane
and
Rational
,
Scriptural
and
Literal
,
of
Church
and
Kingdom
,
from
the
begining
of
both
unto
this
day
:
Wherein
I
found
great
content
;
seeing
that
the
state
of
the
Church
now
under
Controversie
;
and
the
things
that
I
had
produced
,
now
the
matter
of
offence
,
had
so
excellent
ground
,
in
the
Divine
and
Eternal
Law
of
God
,
in
the
Reason
and
Nature
of
man
,
and
in
the
letter
of
the
Scripture
.
That
there
are
these
three
distinct
Laws
,
I
think
no
man
questions
;
and
that
these
three
do
perfectly
agree
,
is
as
generally
confessed
:
For
the
Divine
and
Eternal
Law
or
mind
of
God
,
hath
imprinted
his
own
image
upon
man
:
And
therefore
the
true
reason
or
understanding
of
man
,
must
answer
to
its
Original
,
the
mind
of
God
:
The
same
God
hath
expressed
:
he
same
mind
in
his
written
Word
:
And
therefore
the
written
Word
must
agree
both
to
the
mind
of
God
that
declared
it
,
and
to
the
true
reason
of
man
,
that
is
formed
by
the
same
Original
;
and
they
cannot
but
all
answer
to
each
other
.
If
these
three
agree
,
and
are
united
and
brought
together
by
Christ
,
as
certainly
they
are
;
for
all
three
meet
in
him
,
and
come
sorth
together
from
him
:
Then
if
we
truly
understand
one
,
we
shall
understand
all
:
And
that
which
is
truly
spiritual
,
or
the
mind
of
God
,
is
also
most
Rational
:
and
that
which
is
Spiritual
and
Rational
,
is
also
Scriptural
,
or
according
to
the
written
Word
:
And
it
is
as
true
on
the
contrary
,
that
what
pretends
to
be
Spiritual
,
and
is
not
also
Rational
,
is
not
of
the
man
Christ
,
but
is
a
spiritual
beast
:
And
what
seems
Rational
,
and
is
not
also
Spiritual
,
that
doth
not
derive
it self
from
the
heavenly
man
,
it
is
earthly
and
sensual
at
least
:
And
what
men
have
from
the
Scriptures
only
,
and
not
from
the
heavenly
pattern
,
must
needs
be
a
broken
reed
,
not
fit
to
measure
any
thing
:
For
the
heavenly
mind
,
which
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
can
only
interpret
them
;
and
what
is
Spiritual
and
Scriptural
,
will
be
also
Rational
.
Therefore
these
two
things
do
necessarily
follow
.
First
,
That
no
man
can
justly
expect
to
be
received
in
the
Church
,
or
to
be
believed
in
what
he
affirms
,
if
he
do
not
demonstrate
what
he
brings
,
from
all
these
three
:
because
the
Church
is
the
body
of
Christ
,
and
partakes
of
Christs
nature
:
if
these
three
agree
in
him
,
she
cannot
subject
to
any
thing
rightly
,
but
what
hath
the
Light
of
all
three
in
it
:
Neither
can
there
be
any
demonstration
made
of
any
thing
in
Religion
,
but
from
the
first
and
highest
of
these
,
into
the
two
lower
.
And
secondly
,
That
which
hath
the
joint
testimony
of
all
these
,
may
challenge
belief
from
all
men
and
Christians
,
and
from
the
whole
Church
:
And
it
were
great
breach
of
Charity
and
Trust
,
to
doubt
the
success
of
Truth
so
delivered
to
the
Church
.
And
therefore
I
was
not
a
little
pleased
,
to
find
that
I
had
so
much
light
with
me
,
as
to
essay
such
a
thing
and
to
satisfie
my
reason
,
that
it
was
possible
for
me
to
do
it
:
Not
doubting
,
but
if
I
could
attain
it
,
I
should
not
only
enlighten
and
satisfie
my
offended
Brethren
,
but
bring
forth
that
which
might
heal
and
restore
the
Church
of
God
,
by
leading
of
her
up
,
to
her
own
head
and
heavenly
pattern
;
whereby
only
she
can
be
cured
,
purged
,
justified
and
honoured
.
I
do
desire
by
the
way
,
that
men
would
take
notice
of
this
,
That
what
I
have
brokenly
and
briefly
hinted
in
that
Book
,
concerning
a
National
Church
,
the
right
of
Kings
and
Bishops
in
the
Church
,
&c.
whatever
you
judge
of
them
,
that
they
are
now
started
up
from
the
basest
and
vilest
spirit
of
time-serving
for
preferment
:
yet
I
do
affirm
to
you
,
whatever
weakness
doth
attend
the
manner
of
expressing
of
them
:
that
they
are
from
the
holy
Mount
;
from
the
heavenly
and
divine
Law
;
thence
I
received
them
,
how
ever
I
may
mis-represent
them
;
and
that
not
of
late
;
twelve
years
since
I
writ
and
published
the
same
things
:
and
they
have
continued
in
the
inward
frame
of
my
mind
,
through
many
and
sore
spiritual
trials
,
ever
since
,
without
any
change
.
This
being
plainly
,
and
honestly
affirmed
to
you
,
and
upon
the
review
of
my self
and
mind
,
occasioned
by
your
rebukes
:
I
may
expect
from
you
,
so
much
friendly
and
Christian
ingenuity
,
that
you
would
not
so
scornfully
reject
them
,
to
throw
them
away
,
as
not
worthy
to
be
read
;
but
that
you
would
read
them
,
with
that
seriousness
and
consideration
,
that
is
due
to
things
that
come
under
such
a
name
,
and
profess
such
an
original
.
I
was
interrupted
in
this
work
,
thus
,
having
written
some
part
of
it
,
I
offered
it
to
the
Press
,
by
the
Book-seller
that
printed
the
Inquisition
:
Upon
consideration
he
told
me
,
that
there
was
that
rage
kindled
in
mens
minds
against
the
other
Book
,
that
his
men
durst
not
shew
them
in
the
shop
;
and
that
nothing
of
mine
would
pass
till
that
spirit
was
laid
,
and
therefore
he
durst
not
meddle
with
this
to
print
it
.
My
mind
being
very
weak
and
tender
,
and
apt
to
take
check
at
such
things
;
this
did
not
only
put
me
to
a
stand
,
but
turned
my
mind
quite
about
,
to
hearken
more
attentively
to
this
cry
that
did
thus
earnestly
pursue
me
:
And
to
consider
,
that
sure
this
mouth
,
that
was
thus
opened
against
me
,
did
require
something
of
me
:
And
that
I
could
not
fairly
,
nor
justly
slight
and
neglect
it
any
longer
:
And
that
I
could
not
proceed
in
my
intended
work
,
till
I
had
answered
this
plea
against
me
.
SECT.
II.
T
IS
a
position
in
my
mind
,
that
no
persons
or
things
,
that
we
converse
with
,
are
absolutely
evil
;
but
there
is
some
good
in
every
thing
,
else
it
could
not
be
:
and
therefore
nothing
is
to
be
reprobated
,
or
not
,
till
it
be
first
sifted
and
tried
.
By
my
own
rule
,
I
am
bound
to
think
,
that
though
these
angry
speeches
against
me
,
are
my
enemies
,
yet
sure
there
is
some
just
reason
in
them
:
such
sounds
at
these
,
are
not
without
their
significancy
.
If
so
,
then
I
must
not
reject
them
,
because
opposite
and
unpleasing
,
but
must
admit
them
to
the
bar
of
my
own
reason
:
and
not
only
give
them
a
fair
hearing
,
but
all
the
advantage
also
that
I
can
;
because
the
Court
is
my
own
mind
,
where
they
are
strangers
;
and
being
weak
distempered
things
,
I
ought
to
humble
my self
to
them
,
though
mine
enemies
,
and
to
descend
from
my
own
right
,
to
hear
and
satisfie
them
if
I
can
,
or
at
least
to
do
them
justice
:
For
I
consider
,
though
they
be
dark
passions
,
yet
they
are
humane
:
and
every
man
is
honourable
;
and
every
affection
in
man
,
though
sick
and
distempered
,
is
of
value
;
besides
they
are
zealous
,
serious
,
brethren
,
friends
,
Christians
:
therefore
I
must
query
:
Have
I
not
erred
against
them
?
have
I
not
done
them
wrong
?
have
I
not
detained
something
from
them
,
that
is
their
due
?
We
have
professed
a
Kingdom
of
Heaven
within
us
:
if
it
be
there
indeed
,
then
we
have
in
us
a
throne
of
judgement
:
which
must
do
right
to
all
things
,
that
come
before
us
.
In
this
Kingdom
,
there
is
also
sufficient
,
to
answer
every
plea
,
and
claim
,
that
is
made
to
it
,
or
against
it
;
and
therefore
we
need
not
fear
to
admit
the
greatest
and
strongest
accusation
to
a
full
and
fair
hearing
.
Where
there
is
authority
to
judge
,
and
sufficiency
to
answer
,
there
is
likewise
wisdom
to
understand
,
what
there
is
in
these
clamours
,
though
they
be
of
themselves
very
dark
and
confused
things
:
for
the
mind
may
taste
and
try
all
things
throughly
;
and
every
thing
that
comes
into
it
,
must
be
opened
,
and
seen
in
that
light
that
is
in
it
;
because
the
mind
is
a
supream
light
,
to
which
all
things
are
subject
,
that
come
before
it
.
Therefore
setting
my self
to
examine
and
consider
these
things
,
I
found
first
,
that
although
there
was
just
reason
in
the
book
,
yet
there
was
something
,
that
hindered
men
from
the
seeing
of
it
:
and
though
there
was
love
and
good
in
it
,
yet
there
was
something
also
,
that
denyed
men
the
benefit
of
it
:
and
therefore
t
is
righteous
that
it
should
be
animadverted
,
and
endure
a
tryal
.
And
secondly
,
I
find
that
there
is
some
thing
in
my self
,
that
is
justly
due
,
both
to
my
friends
,
and
brethren
,
and
to
the
Book
it self
:
that
was
not
therein
communicated
:
which
is
my
life
and
spirit
;
the
ground
upon
which
I
stand
:
upon
which
I
wrote
,
and
by
which
I
am
enabled
to
assert
things
so
different
from
others
.
As
these
high
challenges
of
my
spirit
and
peace
,
do
tell
me
,
that
this
is
the
thing
wanting
,
and
now
demanded
of
me
:
so
I
am
upon
this
review
of
things
,
conscious
to
my self
,
that
I
have
not
fully
opened
my self
,
and
my
mind
:
but
have
in
a
great
measure
concealed
it
,
as
well
as
my
name
.
And
therefore
I
must
thus
far
justifie
the
plea
against
me
:
That
if
a
man
bring
forth
a
notion
of
things
,
different
from
,
and
contrary
to
the
life
of
others
:
they
may
justly
refuse
that
notion
:
if
the
Author
do
not
bring
forth
his
own
life
,
spirit
,
and
peace
:
which
only
can
maintain
those
notions
:
and
satisfie
for
that
life
,
that
he
would
take
away
by
those
notions
.
This
is
for
you
,
and
therefore
I
hope
you
will
well
observe
the
justice
of
it
.
I
am
content
to
condemn
what
I
have
done
,
as
guilty
of
this
capital
offence
:
It
may
possibly
stand
as
a
Law
to
me
and
others
hereafter
:
That
if
any
man
write
,
be
it
never
so
good
reason
,
and
with
good
intention
;
if
he
do
not
produce
the
head
of
the
spring
,
from
whence
it
comes
,
and
his
own
heart
,
soul
,
and
peace
with
it
:
let
it
wither
and
be
rejected
;
truly
I
believe
it
will
.
There
is
a
further
justice
in
the
persons
offended
.
If
any
man
utter
his
matters
to
his
friends
,
and
conceal
himself
,
he
deals
injuriously
with
them
:
in
bringing
forth
the
weaker
and
worse
,
and
hiding
the
better
part
;
which
the
royal
Law
of
love
will
condemn
,
as
a
great
wrong
:
for
certainly
if
there
be
any
thing
worthy
in
a
man
,
t
is
his
spiritual
life
:
and
therefore
I
justifie
your
anger
,
you
do
like
friends
and
men
;
not
to
take
words
,
notions
,
and
reason
,
if
there
be
a
better
thing
in
me
:
your
own
life
and
peace
,
being
aimed
at
;
you
may
well
challenge
me
,
to
shew
a
better
:
I
have
this
relief
against
this
charge
:
that
though
I
am
guilty
,
in
not
discovering
the
best
,
yet
the
best
is
still
with
me
,
and
being
my
own
as
yet
,
it
will
support
and
justifie
me
.
Neither
can
I
complain
justly
of
any
injury
done
to
me
by
these
sharp
censures
:
for
if
any
man
will
put
on
an
appearance
,
strange
to
his
neighbours
,
and
withal
cover
his
face
;
t
is
no
wonder
if
men
beat
him
,
and
the
dogs
bark
at
him
:
if
he
be
ill
used
,
he
may
thank
himself
,
and
his
covering
:
There
is
this
remedy
also
,
if
hiding
the
life
and
face
,
be
the
fault
,
that
enmity
that
is
occasioned
by
it
,
will
rend
that
vayl
,
and
then
the
quarrel
will
be
ended
.
If
I
have
a
right
sense
of
the
offence
that
is
against
me
,
(
it
being
at
me
,
and
upon
me
,
it
sure
belongs
to
me
to
feel
and
understand
it
)
then
I
am
called
forth
to
give
a
judgement
of
my
Book
,
and
to
hold
forth
to
the
view
of
all
the
world
,
my
spirit
and
life
from
whence
it
came
;
and
to
shew
what
righteousness
and
power
is
with
me
,
that
can
maintain
me
,
and
others
,
in
the
receiving
and
practising
such
things
as
I
have
writ
.
I
have
been
very
inward
,
and
retired
in
my
spirit
a
long
time
;
not
without
some
motions
to
look
out
;
but
I
have
suppressed
them
;
and
till
now
declined
all
publick
appearance
.
Being
sensible
that
my
mind
is
both
weak
,
and
a
great
stranger
to
all
the
Forms
and
ways
of
Religion
that
are
abroad
;
and
having
found
by
experience
,
that
when
I
did
look
out
,
I
met
with
great
trouble
and
opposition
,
from
all
sorts
of
people
:
I
have
been
willing
to
enjoy
my
peace
and
comfort
at
home
,
and
alone
.
I
did
the
least
think
to
come
forth
in
opposition
to
any
party
,
having
in
my
heart
a
general
love
to
all
men
;
But
I
am
by
this
Book
,
unexpectedly
engaged
to
come
forth
in
some
kind
of
opposition
to
many
,
if
not
all
sorts
of
spirits
,
now
stirring
in
the
Nation
.
The
people
that
have
severely
censured
this
book
and
me
for
it
,
are
Independents
,
Anabaptists
,
Quakers
,
Fifth
monarchy
men
,
and
such
as
profess
themselves
spiritual
,
and
are
in
no
particular
form
;
I
desire
them
all
friendly
to
consider
,
how
high
they
have
raised
the
controversie
,
and
what
must
necessarily
be
the
issue
,
if
it
be
determined
:
If
any
of
them
had
taken
the
book
,
and
dealt
with
the
reason
of
it
:
and
had
answered
it
,
and
convinced
me
;
I
had
been
bound
to
have
been
their
Scholler
,
and
to
have
subscribed
to
them
as
my
Master
:
And
if
my
reason
had
been
too
good
for
theirs
,
I
might
have
expected
the
same
from
them
,
and
no
more
:
But
they
all
leaving
the
reason
,
and
falling
directly
upon
my
person
,
and
the
state
of
my
soul
,
my
life
and
peace
;
the
●ar
is
like
to
be
of
a
higher
nature
;
and
the
question
,
who
is
the
Antichrist
?
who
the
Apostate
?
who
hath
sinned
against
the
Holy
Spirit
?
and
consequently
who
must
go
down
into
horror
and
trouble
,
into
Satan
,
and
the
displeasure
of
God
?
and
so
it
is
a
war
of
souls
and
spirits
about
the
most
solemn
things
of
life
and
peace
with
God
.
And
therefore
the
issue
must
be
this
:
if
you
subdue
me
,
and
overthrow
my
state
,
I
must
bow
,
and
seek
for
mercy
and
peace
of
you
,
upon
such
conditions
,
as
you
shall
think
good
to
give
it
:
This
I
know
you
do
expect
:
and
as
necessarily
I
must
,
so
I
do
believe
,
I
readily
shall
perform
it
:
on
the
other
side
,
if
my
state
and
peace
be
good
,
and
yours
fail
;
I
may
require
the
same
of
you
,
that
you
should
submit
to
me
,
and
accept
of
my
peace
and
pardon
,
according
to
that
equal
and
just
Law
,
Whatsoever
ye
would
that
men
should
do
to
you
,
do
ye
even
so
to
them
.
I
do
earnestly
desire
,
that
we
may
on
both
sides
heartily
engage
in
this
quarrel
:
if
I
find
you
do
shrink
from
it
,
I
shall
endeavour
to
compell
you
to
stand
to
it
,
till
there
be
a
compleat
victory
gained
by
one
of
us
:
If
you
be
men
,
and
true
to
any
thing
that
you
say
or
think
,
you
cannot
avoid
the
tryal
;
for
I
know
and
feel
,
that
you
are
come
forth
against
me
,
in
your
censures
of
me
,
with
all
your
hearts
,
and
with
the
strength
of
your
God
,
Religion
,
and
Life
:
as
against
an
enemy
to
God
and
his
cause
;
t
is
so
evident
it
cannot
be
denyed
:
And
by
it
you
have
drawn
forth
my
life
and
spirit
,
(
which
till
now
lay
close
and
still
)
to
answer
you
;
and
therefore
you
are
bound
to
stand
and
abide
the
dispute
:
This
I
write
neither
lightly
,
boastingly
,
nor
threatning
,
but
soberly
and
seriously
,
in
love
to
you
,
and
to
the
good
and
peace
of
souls
.
The
combat
may
be
sharp
,
but
it
may
be
friendly
also
:
For
I
do
constantly
find
this
truth
in
my
mind
:
that
as
all
good
doth
,
and
will
overcome
evil
,
because
it
is
larger
,
stronger
,
truer
,
and
more
durable
then
evil
:
so
doth
love
conquer
,
&
swallow
up
enmity
;
enmity
is
a
mean
,
inferiour
,
base
thing
,
that
is
but
a
servant
to
the
greatness
and
majesty
of
love
.
And
at
this
time
,
I
find
a
special
love
,
both
of
pitty
and
friendship
,
provoked
and
stirred
in
my
heart
,
by
these
wounds
that
you
have
given
me
:
For
I
feel
such
a
nature
in
me
,
the
more
you
pierce
,
the
more
freely
my
love
and
life
will
flow
forth
to
you
;
so
that
there
is
a
ring
of
love
made
for
us
,
in
which
we
may
safely
try
our
strength
:
and
therefore
,
though
it
be
both
a
serious
and
sharp
contest
,
yet
it
must
also
be
a
friendly
strife
:
It
may
be
,
love
hath
laid
a
train
to
catch
us
all
,
and
all
the
enmity
of
all
men
:
For
observe
our
quarrel
,
it
is
of
a
very
high
nature
,
for
no
less
then
the
life
and
peace
of
our
souls
;
yet
if
we
fight
it
out
,
the
end
will
be
this
:
either
I
must
return
to
you
,
and
receive
mercy
from
you
;
of
you
must
come
to
me
,
and
receive
it
from
me
:
Either
you
must
be
my
Pastors
or
Ministers
,
and
so
heal
and
feed
me
,
as
a
brother
:
or
I
your
Bishop
and
Father
.
The
quarrell
is
,
Whether
you
shall
serve
me
,
with
your
life
;
or
I
serve
you
with
mine
?
Whether
I
shall
forgive
you
,
or
you
forgive
me
?
Possibly
after
some
anger
spent
in
the
conflict
,
it
may
be
comprimised
,
and
we
may
both
have
our
ends
,
both
serve
and
be
served
,
forgive
and
be
forgiven
:
But
let
us
resolve
to
try
it
out
:
for
if
you
draw
back
and
refuse
the
combat
,
you
will
go
down
into
your
dark
holes
of
enmity
;
but
press
forward
,
and
we
shall
certainly
come
to
feel
and
understand
one
another
,
though
through
some
smart
:
and
at
last
after
we
have
spent
our
heat
,
end
in
love
.
If
we
had
dealt
in
opinions
that
concern
the
State
,
you
might
have
feared
trouble
:
but
you
shall
have
the
state
of
my
mind
to
deal
with
:
which
you
may
do
,
without
danger
of
any
suffering
,
but
in
your
spirits
:
our
war
will
be
now
purely
in
and
about
spiritual
things
:
If
we
should
controvert
National
Church
,
Episcopacy
,
&c.
the
power
of
the
Nation
might
be
with
me
:
but
declining
that
as
you
do
,
and
dealing
only
with
my
spirit
and
life
:
possibly
the
Bishops
may
be
as
different
from
me
,
and
from
my
spirit
and
life
,
as
you
are
:
yea
,
and
be
more
with
you
,
then
they
are
with
me
;
and
I
am
apt
to
think
it
may
prove
so
:
How
ever
you
may
be
confident
,
you
are
free
from
,
outward
danger
,
in
dealing
with
the
spirit
of
a
private
person
.
You
have
advantage
,
enough
:
you
are
many
:
I
am
alone
:
you
are
whole
and
sound
;
I
am
I
confess
,
much
broken
and
weak
:
you
stand
firm
,
I
have
been
tossed
about
:
my
infirmities
and
failings
are
many
,
and
visible
to
all
the
world
;
and
most
of
all
to
my self
:
yet
truly
I
do
desire
and
shall
endeavour
a
fair
trial
,
not
doubting
the
issue
;
which
way
soever
it
fall
,
it
must
be
good
.
SECT.
III.
FIrst
for
the
Book
,
I
have
had
many
complaints
against
it
,
but
only
in
general
,
as
a
monstrous
,
strange
,
wicked
,
and
cursed
thing
:
I
have
invited
many
to
shew
me
particularly
,
what
false
or
unrighteous
propositions
there
are
in
it
:
and
to
this
day
not
one
man
hath
said
to
me
,
that
this
or
that
sentence
is
untrue
,
or
will
give
me
any
reason
against
any
passage
of
it
:
But
when
we
come
to
the
point
,
either
they
have
not
read
it
,
or
but
part
of
it
;
or
I
do
not
understand
it
;
or
What
do
you
mean
by
this
or
that
passage
?
T
is
strange
,
totally
condemned
but
not
examined
in
any
parts
of
it
;
I
may
say
in
my
case
,
as
Job
,
chap.

That
mine
adversary
had
written
a
Book
;
surely
I
would
take
it
upon
my
shoulder
,
and
bind
it
as
a
crown
to
me
:
I
would
declare
to
him
the
number
of
my
steps
,
&c.
Had
his
reproofs
been
heavy
,
true
or
false
,
I
would
have
taken
them
upon
my
shoulder
,
and
born
either
my
own
,
or
his
infirmities
:
I
have
done
it
,
and
by
the
same
grace
of
God
,
I
can
do
it
again
:
Or
had
his
book
been
more
true
,
righteous
or
mercifull
then
mine
;
I
can
boldly
say
,
I
should
have
put
it
upon
my
head
,
openly
worn
his
understanding
,
professed
it
,
and
gloried
in
it
,
as
a
crown
.
I
know
I
have
in
me
,
that
authority
over
my self
,
and
have
been
so
conversant
in
self-judging
,
and
retracting
what
I
have
seen
to
be
short
,
and
also
such
a
love
to
truth
,
that
it
would
be
a
glory
and
crown
to
me
,
to
meet
with
a
light
,
that
could
convince
mine
of
darkness
:
yea
I
have
this
experience
of
my self
,
I
can
prefer
another
before
me
,
and
give
honour
,
time
,
and
place
to
my
adversaries
,
even
when
I
know
they
are
the
weaker
.
But
I
may
and
do
think
,
that
men
are
not
able
to
deal
with
the
reason
of
the
Book
;
and
therefore
it
is
left
to
my self
,
to
Animadvert
upon
it
:
and
possibly
I
may
deal
as
severely
with
it
as
another
.
The
first
thing
that
I
blame
the
book
for
,
is
its
untimeliness
,
it
came
too
late
.
I
have
in
my
heart
a
love
to
manknid
,
to
all
English
men
,
and
to
the
opposite
parties
in
the
Nation
:
my
place
and
work
is
to
heal
,
unite
and
reconcile
:
and
so
to
prevent
ruine
and
destruction
;
if
I
might
be
heard
,
none
should
execute
it
,
nor
any
suffer
it
.
Many
things
did
offer
themselves
in
my
mind
,
that
did
tend
to
a
universal
peace
,
and
a
composing
all
differences
,
to
the
great
advantage
of
the
whole
,
and
of
every
part
;
They
have
been
long
conceived
in
my
mind
:
and
did
offer
themselves
to
birth
,
at
the
beginning
of
this
great
change
:
but
I
delaid
so
long
,
till
another
spirit
had
stepped
in
,
and
engaged
the
minds
of
men
,
both
in
doing
,
and
suffering
:
so
that
what
was
proposed
towards
mother
course
,
could
not
be
heard
by
either
;
and
for
this
I
suffered
a
very
sharp
rebuke
from
the
Lord
,
before
the
Book
came
forth
:
t
was
like
that
to
Moses
,
Exod.
4.24
.
God
met
him
and
sought
to
kill
him
.
A
more
dangerous
assault
I
have
not
received
a
long
time
,
nor
a
de●per
wound
:
I
have
still
a
frequent
sense
of
it
,
which
keeps
me
in
an
awe
of
God
.
My
evil
was
suppressing
a
that
light
of
love
and
peace
,
which
did
arise
in
my
mind
from
the
divine
nature
;
This
we
must
know
,
and
I
declare
it
from
a
living
sense
;
That
God
is
in
his
nature
,
most
gracious
,
tender
,
and
patient
;
yet
he
knows
how
to
take
vengeance
on
all
iniquity
,
even
in
his
dearest
children
.
Where
there
is
the
greatest
love
,
there
is
the
greatest
authority
and
majesty
,
yea
the
greatest
jealousie
and
severity
:
I
find
it
so
in
his
constant
dealings
with
me
.
The
supreme
Law
of
God
,
is
himself
,
Love
;
and
with
it
peace
,
salvation
,
forgiveness
,
good-will
to
man
:
The
very
nature
and
Law
of
this
love
is
,
to
do
good
,
and
communicate
:
none
receives
it
for
himself
only
,
but
to
give
forth
to
others
;
of
all
things
it
must
not
be
confined
nor
imprisoned
,
being
in
its
own
nature
infinitely
large
:
You
have
freely
received
,
freely
give
.
If
this
be
the
highest
Law
,
it
doth
punish
accordingly
;
being
offended
,
or
transgressed
against
,
it
requires
the
sorest
punishment
,
which
is
,
to
take
away
that
love
:
They
that
have
felt
love
,
must
needs
have
the
sharpest
sense
of
the
want
of
it
:
and
its
nature
being
large
and
communicating
:
that
evil
servant
that
hides
and
buries
this
talent
of
love
and
peace
,
and
not
communicate
it
;
it
shall
be
taken
from
him
:
This
was
my
danger
.
All
men
live
under
a
Law
:
the
Law
of
love
is
the
exactest
and
severest
,
where
it
is
in
life
and
power
:
or
the
Law
of
the
spirit
of
life
which
is
in
Jesus
:
it
is
there
the
quickest
and
sharpest
;
and
works
most
fully
and
strongly
,
where
it
is
engraven
and
written
upon
the
heart
,
and
put
in
the
inward
parts
:
Every
stroke
of
a
Law
of
eternal
life
,
in
the
most
inward
parts
must
needs
be
terrible
,
threatning
eternal
death
.
I
write
this
not
only
that
you
may
know
,
that
I
live
under
a
Law
and
exact
discipline
:
but
that
all
may
learn
to
fear
the
Lord
and
his
goodness
:
For
know
assuredly
that
God
will
be
known
and
feared
of
all
,
and
that
in
great
mercy
and
severity
;
For
his
love
and
grace
,
where
it
is
in
its
truth
and
power
,
will
not
be
abused
,
and
turned
into
looseness
and
wantonness
:
you
may
abuse
and
corrupt
lesser
favour
,
but
it
will
rise
and
be
revenged
,
and
at
last
have
that
absoluteness
in
it
,
that
it
will
rule
,
and
give
Law
to
us
:
else
it
cannot
save
us
.
My
suppressing
the
movings
of
general
and
healing
love
,
was
thus
:
it
often
rose
up
in
my
mind
,
and
required
to
be
written
and
published
;
I
did
attempt
and
essay
to
do
it
:
but
what
I
did
one
day
,
I
disliked
the
second
or
third
day
:
either
from
the
weakness
of
my
mind
,
or
from
a
growing
spring
of
light
,
or
both
:
but
finding
larger
and
deeper
discoveries
,
I
refused
and
rejected
the
former
:
and
so
in
hope
of
doing
better
,
more
strongly
,
more
certainly
and
completely
;
I
delayed
to
do
what
was
present
,
till
the
season
was
past
.
There
is
in
this
a
great
evil
,
for
which
I
received
a
great
rebuke
,
and
yet
am
I
not
wholly
delivered
from
the
snare
:
for
the
further
enlargement
of
my
mind
,
and
the
instruction
of
others
,
I
will
examine
the
particulars
of
it
.
In
not
giving
forth
truth
,
light
and
love
,
as
it
arises
naturally
in
our
minds
,
but
deferring
till
it
be
more
accomplished
and
compleat
;
or
till
we
can
give
it
a
finer
dress
,
which
may
render
it
the
more
acceptable
to
others
,
that
so
the
fruit
may
be
more
certain
,
and
our selves
more
honoured
and
justified
:
In
this
there
is
a
great
transgression
against
the
Law
of
love
and
life
.
First
,
it
is
a
fin
against
that
truth
or
light
;
an
undervaluing
of
it
,
as
if
it
were
not
worthy
to
be
seen
and
looked
upon
by
men
in
its
own
natural
form
,
wherein
there
is
the
greatest
beauty
;
it
is
sufficiently
,
if
not
most
lovely
,
in
it self
,
and
in
its
own
naked
and
native
goodness
:
All
light
hath
a
natural
Majestie
in
it
,
and
is
best
when
purest
and
unmixed
;
it
commands
by
its
own
brightness
:
but
above
all
,
the
light
of
love
is
absolute
and
perfect
:
It
hath
in
it
a
sufficiency
of
glory
,
to
take
away
the
spots
and
defects
of
other
things
:
and
therefore
it self
needs
no
accomplishments
:
All
additions
to
light
and
love
,
do
darken
and
ecclipse
them
both
:
for
they
give
beauty
and
glory
to
all
,
and
receive
from
none
.
Secondly
,
it
is
a
sin
against
God
,
a
distrust
of
him
,
not
to
commit
our selves
wholly
to
the
leadings
of
his
spirit
:
it
is
an
ignorance
of
his
presence
with
,
and
dominion
over
every
spirit
:
he
being
in
and
over
all
men
,
he
will
plead
the
cause
of
Truth
with
them
,
especially
when
it
rises
simply
and
purely
from
himself
,
and
his
own
good
Spirit
:
And
will
make
it
effectual
to
that
end
that
he
sends
it
:
It
is
most
righteously
due
to
him
,
that
he
should
have
the
managing
,
of
what
light
and
grace
he
gives
to
any
man
:
and
to
employ
it
to
his
own
holy
ends
and
purposes
;
to
be
a
savour
of
life
,
or
of
death
,
as
he
please
.
Thirdly
,
there
is
in
it
,
want
of
love
to
Brethren
:
for
why
should
we
be
either
afraid
or
ashamed
to
appear
to
them
we
love
just
as
we
are
?
if
I
love
my
neighbour
as
my self
,
why
should
not
I
appear
to
him
as
I
do
to
my self
?
and
be
confident
of
him
,
that
if
I
be
found
weak
to
him
,
he
will
both
pitty
,
cover
,
and
help
me
,
as
I
would
do
to
my self
,
or
as
I
would
do
to
him
:
Sure
such
confidence
and
openness
of
heart
,
one
to
another
,
will
sooner
gain
entrance
into
the
heart
,
then
formal
and
neat
discourses
into
the
head
,
being
most
natural
and
familiar
:
And
if
they
obtain
a
place
in
the
heart
,
they
will
effect
more
,
then
by
pleasing
the
fancy
:
yea
weakness
as
well
as
confidence
suits
best
,
with
them
that
are
weak
:
A
man
may
over-power
a
weak
mind
,
by
too
great
an
evidence
and
strength
of
Reason
:
We
are
all
weak
;
if
any
will
seem
to
be
otherwise
,
I
doubt
he
doth
but
dissemble
,
and
get
a
covering
;
but
if
any
could
attain
a
perfection
,
he
would
by
it
,
be
more
a
stranger
to
his
Brethren
,
except
he
could
make
them
like
himself
;
or
descend
into
their
imperfection
,
and
be
like
them
:
Fourthly
,
I
am
not
justified
,
in
rejecting
or
scorning
infirmity
:
There
is
a
time
for
all
things
,
and
a
season
proper
for
weakness
:
A
mixture
of
light
and
darkness
,
makes
the
morning
pleasant
and
growing
:
simplicity
and
mistakes
in
children
,
is
better
then
cunning
and
politick
exactness
:
Yea
natural
weakness
is
better
then
artificial
strength
:
Christ
became
weak
for
us
,
and
what
is
any
man
,
that
he
should
refuse
,
what
he
chose
?
or
to
be
weak
with
the
weak
:
much
less
to
appear
so
,
if
he
be
so
.
Exactness
and
compleatness
is
desirable
,
and
exceeding
beautiful
in
its
season
,
when
we
grow
up
naturally
to
it
:
But
we
must
come
to
it
by
degrees
,
and
arise
to
it
,
out
of
weakness
:
In
a
child
,
perfect
strength
or
wisdom
,
seems
strange
and
monstrous
;
if
it
be
feigned
or
affected
in
any
,
it
is
Serpentine
,
deceit
and
hypocrifie
.
Besides
,
if
we
refuse
to
do
good
,
because
we
would
and
may
do
better
,
or
best
of
all
,
we
reject
the
first
degree
of
good
,
which
is
the
root
and
foundation
,
both
of
better
and
best
:
And
cruelly
slay
and
destroy
the
first
spring
and
buddings
of
life
,
which
are
the
fountains
,
that
only
can
nourish
and
feed
unto
perfect
strength
,
and
Eternal
Life
.
Lastly
,
there
is
in
it
,
as
distrust
of
Truth
,
God
and
Brethren
,
so
of
a
mans
self
,
and
his
own
life
:
If
a
man
have
any
true
life
in
him
,
it
is
sufficient
to
carry
him
forth
into
the
world
,
because
it
is
better
and
greater
then
the
world
:
He
that
is
in
you
,
is
greater
then
he
that
is
in
the
world
:
By
distrust
and
diffidence
of
a
mans
own
life
,
he
weakens
it
:
It
is
the
design
of
the
enemy
,
to
keep
us
in
fear
and
bondage
of
spirit
:
If
that
life
that
is
in
me
,
be
true
,
it
is
best
when
it
is
natural
:
all
art
and
contrivance
do
weaken
and
clog
it
:
If
it
be
not
true
,
it
is
abominable
hypocrisie
,
to
personate
an
holy
or
heavenly
thing
:
We
see
,
all
studied
and
made
things
,
come
to
base
ends
;
they
will
wear
out
and
leave
a
mans
soul
destitute
:
But
true
and
genuine
life
,
will
stand
and
increase
:
Therefore
I
would
be
natural
;
as
in
all
things
,
so
especially
in
Religion
;
which
though
it
is
supernatural
,
yet
is
never
good
,
if
it
be
not
also
natural
:
Yet
I
may
not
wholly
condemn
the
exercise
,
either
of
fancy
or
judgement
,
in
composing
and
forming
things
;
for
that
they
also
are
natural
faculties
;
and
are
excellent
when
the
spiritual
life
doth
purifie
them
,
fill
them
,
and
rule
over
them
.
By
this
you
see
the
first
and
great
evil
in
this
Book
,
and
in
my
mind
,
in
writing
of
it
:
delaying
or
dallying
till
another
spirit
had
entred
:
and
so
long
,
till
all
parties
were
so
engaged
and
disturbed
,
that
they
had
neither
time
,
nor
clearness
of
mind
to
examine
the
reason
of
it
:
For
which
I
was
so
sharply
afflicted
,
and
threatned
;
not
only
to
the
rejecting
of
my
present
work
and
Ministry
,
but
of
my
life
also
:
Yet
it
was
a
sin
,
not
of
wickedness
,
but
weakness
;
and
therefore
I
found
mercy
,
and
God
accepted
of
a
sacrifice
from
me
;
and
not
only
permitted
me
to
proceed
in
my
work
,
but
continued
and
enlarged
his
assistance
,
and
healed
my
foul
also
:
Which
gives
me
hope
,
that
though
the
book
,
and
my self
suffer
awhile
;
yet
I
and
others
may
at
last
reap
fruit
and
comfort
from
it
:
It
is
for
the
present
in
the
fire
,
and
let
it
be
tryed
throughly
,
that
all
may
see
what
is
in
it
.
SECT.
IV.
YOu
have
seen
the
first
and
great
evil
of
the
book
,
its
unseasonable
birth
,
occasioned
by
my
delaying
to
write
it
,
when
the
things
contained
in
it
,
first
offered
themselves
to
come
forth
:
You
have
likewise
seen
the
severe
chastisments
suffered
for
it
;
and
animadversions
upon
both
:
If
this
evil
be
really
removed
and
taken
away
;
and
what
I
have
written
,
may
a
little
calm
and
compose
your
minds
,
but
into
a
willingness
to
read
it
,
and
seriously
to
ponder
the
things
contained
in
it
;
other
defects
,
the
consequents
and
effects
of
the
former
,
may
be
cured
.
There
is
a
continual
spring
and
growth
of
light
in
my
mind
,
which
makes
me
distaste
this
day
,
what
I
wrote
two
or
three
dayes
since
:
this
made
me
suppress
things
;
and
not
giving
them
vent
in
their
season
,
they
multiplyed
so
fast
upon
me
,
that
at
last
they
crowded
out
,
one
over
another
,
so
thick
and
in
a
huddle
,
that
people
know
not
what
to
make
of
them
;
whereas
had
they
marched
out
in
their
own
order
,
although
rude
and
natural
,
yet
they
would
have
been
more
perspicuous
and
so
more
easily
discerned
and
understood
:
There
is
,
I
am
sure
,
a
strange
mistake
in
men
,
even
of
the
very
drift
and
nature
of
the
book
;
so
much
wide
of
reason
,
that
I
wonder
at
it
:
besides
other
causes
,
this
may
be
one
;
things
pressed
out
so
fast
,
when
they
found
the
door
open
,
that
they
obscured
themselves
by
multitude
and
force
:
Being
born
in
turba
,
they
are
children
of
strife
from
the
womb
;
and
then
it
is
no
wonder
if
they
disturb
others
.
But
this
is
a
curable
evil
,
if
any
will
be
at
the
pains
to
part
the
notions
and
conceptions
,
and
take
them
asunder
,
and
set
them
at
a
greater
distance
one
from
another
:
I
do
think
he
may
have
another
view
of
them
:
The
matters
contained
in
the
book
are
very
weighty
,
concerning
the
great
change
and
turn
in
the
Nation
,
by
which
the
lives
and
liberties
of
thousands
are
in
danger
:
The
things
written
,
and
manner
of
writing
them
are
not
vulgar
,
most
people
say
they
do
not
understand
them
:
They
that
have
read
it
often
say
,
it
hath
in
every
new
reading
,
a
new
face
:
When
I
review
it
my self
,
I
find
more
in
it
,
then
I
apprehended
when
I
writ
it
:
I
profess
when
I
consider
it
,
I
cannot
think
of
mens
slighting
of
it
,
without
an
indignation
:
I
must
deal
freely
with
you
,
when
I
hear
of
your
unworthy
and
irrational
scorn
of
it
,
my
soul
doth
upbraid
,
and
wonder
at
that
shallowness
and
froward
headiness
that
makes
you
so
uncapable
of
the
justice
,
reason
,
and
mercy
that
is
in
it
:
I
do
know
,
and
am
able
to
write
it
,
upon
mature
deliberation
,
and
consultation
,
That
there
is
in
it
that
love
and
righteousness
,
that
must
and
shall
be
considered
and
understood
:
And
that
very
fury
,
that
makes
you
impatient
of
the
reason
and
rebuke
of
it
,
will
run
you
upon
a
foolish
and
desperate
opposing
the
present
Providence
and
Power
,
and
so
bring
you
into
misery
:
And
then
you
will
repent
of
your
too
late
considering
,
as
I
have
of
my
too
late
writing
.
I
could
return
scorn
for
scorn
,
and
auger
for
anger
;
it
is
in
me
to
do
it
;
you
know
you
are
liable
to
it
,
and
may
know
I
am
able
to
do
it
:
But
such
is
my
love
to
you
,
that
I
cannot
but
earnestly
desire
you
to
mind
and
study
the
things
:
I
dare
promise
you
,
you
shall
not
lose
your
labour
;
if
that
which
is
there
written
do
not
answer
your
time
and
pains
,
do
but
complain
of
it
to
me
,
and
you
shall
have
satisfaction
;
It
is
but
just
you
should
:
and
I
have
such
opinion
of
my
honesty
,
and
ability
,
as
to
assure
you
,
if
it
doth
not
perform
to
you
,
I
will
.
Another
fault
is
found
in
the
Book
,
that
it
is
too
sharp
and
cutting
in
the
reproofs
of
it
:
It
is
a
sensible
complaint
in
some
,
I
have
the
more
reason
to
Animadvert
upon
it
,
because
it
is
so
:
If
they
be
afflicted
at
it
,
there
is
great
reason
it
should
afflict
me
also
.
Of
all
repentings
,
I
find
the
easiest
and
sweetest
,
is
to
repent
of
anger
:
God
hath
made
it
easie
and
honourable
,
by
his
own
example
,
who
hath
often
repented
of
his
just
rebukes
upon
his
people
:
It
is
easie
in
it self
:
for
anger
is
no
pleasant
thing
:
If
it
were
not
necessary
,
no
man
could
chuse
it
:
Indeed
,
it
is
so
mean
a
thing
,
that
few
men
enter
into
it
in
judgement
:
Most
men
are
thrust
upon
it
,
without
understanding
:
I
think
I
may
say
all
;
It
is
so
unruly
and
troublesom
a
guest
,
that
none
but
fools
will
entertain
it
;
Solomon
sayes
,
Eccles.
7.9
.
Anger
rests
in
the
bosom
of
fools
:
If
it
be
just
and
good
,
it
is
mean
and
poor
;
but
if
it
be
malicious
,
wicked
,
and
false
,
then
it
is
devilish
:
Be
it
what
it
will
,
I
alwayes
find
it
as
yet
,
an
offence
to
my
weak
nature
;
it
alwayes
wounds
and
stings
me
;
therefore
I
am
inclined
to
be
jealous
of
it
,
and
of
my self
for
it
.
If
there
be
a
sowr
and
severe
spirit
in
it
,
it
may
possibly
arise
from
the
first
ill
root
,
deferring
or
delaying
to
give
it
forth
in
its
season
,
when
t
was
tender
:
the
keeping
it
so
long
within
,
made
it
more
fierce
.
But
if
the
nails
be
too
long
,
we
may
pare
them
,
I
will
be
better
then
scratching
and
clawing
.
Angry
and
vehement
reproofs
do
abound
in
this
Age
:
You
reprove
and
condemn
your
adversaries
to
utter
destruction
;
and
they
condemn
you
:
I
have
rebuked
you
,
and
you
rebuke
me
,
as
a
man
irrecoverably
lost
:
The
Nation
is
so
full
of
judgement
,
that
men
can
administer
little
else
:
wrath
is
so
strong
,
that
most
men
are
quite
drunk
with
it
;
love
and
peace
is
so
weak
,
that
they
that
incline
to
it
,
find
great
difficulty
in
exercising
any
of
it
:
It
may
be
for
the
good
of
all
to
understand
the
nature
and
kinds
of
rebuke
.
There
are
four
sorts
of
it
subject
to
my
observation
:
The
first
and
worst
is
devilish
:
A
malicious
searching
into
,
and
aggravating
the
sins
of
them
we
hate
;
and
accusing
of
them
to
make
them
odious
,
that
we
may
appear
just
:
or
a
finding
but
iniquity
in
them
that
are
opposite
to
us
,
that
we
may
destroy
them
:
There
is
a
great
deal
of
this
;
it
is
meet
you
and
I
should
consider
how
far
we
have
been
in
this
spirit
:
it
is
a
very
gross
and
common
evil
;
yet
no
discerned
:
because
them
that
we
prosecute
with
such
enmity
,
we
first
paint
them
in
our
fancies
,
as
devils
&
enemies
to
God
,
and
then
think
we
do
well
,
to
destroy
them
,
believing
they
are
appointed
to
it
:
But
I
hope
this
darkness
will
not
last
long
:
For
no
parties
now
stand
in
opposition
one
to
another
,
at
so
great
a
distance
,
as
the
children
of
God
,
and
the
children
of
the
Devil
:
Because
if
any
were
indeed
the
children
of
God
,
they
would
be
like
their
Father
,
Mat.
5.44
,
45.
Love
your
enemies
,
bless
them
that
curse
you
,
do
good
to
them
that
hate
you
,
pray
for
them
that
despitefully
use
you
,
and
persecute
you
:
That
you
may
be
the
children
of
your
Father
which
is
in
heaven
,
&c.
How
contrary
is
mens
ordinary
practice
to
this
!
We
say
we
are
the
children
of
God
,
and
therefore
ought
to
destroy
our
and
Gods
enemies
:
to
do
good
to
sinners
,
and
to
them
that
hate
us
is
Divine
:
to
hate
,
accuse
,
and
destroy
,
is
certainly
Diabolical
.
The
second
kind
of
rebuke
is
Legal
or
Angelical
:
To
reprove
and
punish
men
,
as
Gods
children
and
creatures
,
in
a
holy
zeal
for
God
and
righteousness
,
with
intention
to
humble
,
subject
,
and
reform
:
and
that
from
a
holy
and
pure
Law
,
and
from
a
just
and
godly
nature
and
life
:
This
is
no
Christian
,
or
divine
dispensation
,
but
a
legal
one
:
yet
who
is
there
of
you
that
can
justifie
himself
by
this
Law
?
Consider
it
seriously
:
Do
you
reprove
and
punish
men
as
men
,
as
brethren
,
as
Gods
creatures
and
children
,
though
enemies
?
Do
you
do
it
,
with
intent
to
humble
and
reform
,
or
to
ruine
and
destroy
?
Do
you
do
it
from
a
holy
,
pure
Law
,
or
from
your
own
conceptions
of
the
Law
,
which
are
broken
,
uncertain
,
and
changeable
?
Do
you
do
it
from
a
just
and
godly
nature
and
life
?
or
is
there
not
also
envy
,
covetousness
,
self-seeking
,
partiality
,
and
unrighteousness
?
you
may
ponder
these
things
in
your
hearts
,
and
measure
your selves
by
this
rule
.
The
third
kind
of
rebuke
or
reproof
is
Evangelical
,
that
which
was
administred
by
Christ
,
when
he
was
in
the
flesh
:
he
was
a
Minister
of
the
circumcision
,
and
did
oncumcise
in
his
Ministery
;
he
Ministerd
sharply
,
cuttingly
:
but
when
he
had
done
that
,
he
was
lead
by
his
Father
,
to
lay
down
his
life
for
them
that
he
had
so
reproved
,
and
after
he
had
discovered
sin
,
in
a
holy
spirit
,
in
obedience
to
his
Father
,
and
in
all
his
work
knew
no
sin
,
yet
he
himself
was
made
sin
.
His
Father
by
a
superiour
Law
,
judged
him
as
the
sinner
,
and
acquitted
,
pardoned
and
justified
them
:
This
is
Christs
way
,
first
reprove
severely
as
a
legal
Minister
,
purely
and
holily
:
and
finding
that
short
or
weak
,
he
layes
down
his
life
for
them
he
had
condemned
:
And
when
he
had
administred
the
Law
in
its
highest
purity
,
he
then
nailed
it
to
the
Cross
,
as
a
weak
thing
that
could
not
save
:
and
died
under
it
,
to
bring
in
a
better
Law
of
peace
and
forgiveness
.
The
fourth
and
last
is
the
best
:
the
reproofs
of
the
Spirit
;
which
Christ
prefers
above
his
own
,
John
16.7
,
8
,
&c.
It
is
expedient
that
I
go
away
:
for
if
I
go
not
away
,
the
Comforter
will
not
come
unto
you
;
but
if
I
depart
,
I
will
send
him
unto
you
:
And
when
he
is
come
,
he
will
reprove
the
world
of
sin
,
and
of
righteousness
,
and
of
judgement
.
Christ
reproved
of
sin
from
righteousness
:
The
spirit
reproved
of
sin
,
and
righteousness
:
Christ
reproved
of
sin
,
in
the
flesh
,
in
weakness
,
as
under
it
and
the
Law
,
and
so
grieved
at
it
:
The
Spirit
reproved
of
sin
,
and
of
righteousness
,
in
glory
and
power
,
because
,
saith
Christ
,
I
go
to
my
Father
,
where
he
was
glorified
;
Being
now
exalted
not
only
over
their
sins
,
but
by
the
worst
of
their
sins
,
by
their
crucifying
of
him
,
The
Son
of
man
was
lifted
up
:
His
love
and
life
overcame
both
Law
,
Sin
,
Death
,
and
the
Devil
:
having
taken
away
their
sins
,
his
Spirit
could
now
manifest
to
them
,
this
one
only
sin
,
unbelief
:
That
there
was
in
him
,
love
,
peace
,
pardon
and
salvation
for
them
and
their
worst
sins
,
hatred
of
him
:
that
he
had
born
them
himself
,
and
was
acquitted
of
them
,
and
so
they
were
all
done
away
:
and
this
sin
only
remained
,
that
they
believed
not
this
blessed
and
mighty
grace
,
that
could
overcome
all
that
evil
and
bring
forth
glory
to
himself
,
and
good
to
them
,
out
of
their
sins
,
and
his
death
:
And
this
the
Spirit
did
not
only
declare
,
but
convince
so
strongly
,
that
they
could
not
resist
it
.
For
his
own
descending
upon
them
was
an
undeniable
proof
of
it
:
He
convinces
of
righteousness
,
by
shewing
that
they
had
a
righteousness
,
as
well
as
sin
:
and
that
as
their
sins
were
Christs
,
so
his
righteousness
was
theirs
:
that
their
righteousness
was
with
the
Father
,
in
a
heavenly
invisible
state
,
because
I
go
to
the
Father
:
That
this
is
true
,
his
own
coming
,
as
Gods
gift
,
is
a
sufficient
proof
:
And
therefore
it
is
conviction
with
judgement
;
or
,
of
Sin
,
Righteousness
and
Judgement
.
For
except
both
the
evil
and
the
good
be
produced
,
both
Sin
and
Righteousness
,
in
the
light
and
power
of
the
Spirit
,
there
may
be
wrath
administred
,
but
not
Judgement
:
It
is
said
,
of
Judgement
,
because
the
Prince
of
this
world
is
Judged
:
And
that
is
true
Judgement
,
that
convinces
the
creature
of
Sin
,
and
of
Righteousness
,
and
by
the
Spirit
releases
him
,
and
judges
the
wicked
one
,
the
enemy
,
that
is
the
principal
,
the
author
and
worker
of
all
this
mischief
.
This
Judgement
doth
right
to
man
,
to
Christ
and
to
God
;
to
man
,
it
humbles
and
abases
him
,
and
brings
him
to
God
,
where
his
righteousness
is
;
It
doth
right
to
Christ
,
and
the
sufficiency
of
his
love
,
life
,
death
,
and
resurrection
,
to
save
the
world
:
And
it
exalts
God
,
his
love
,
mercy
,
fulness
,
and
justice
:
that
he
hath
the
righteousness
of
the
whole
world
with
him
;
and
that
he
hath
accepted
Christ
to
it
,
as
Lord
and
Prince
of
the
whole
world
,
as
head
of
man
;
and
hath
given
him
power
and
spirit
to
reveal
and
dispence
that
righteousness
freely
to
whom
he
will
.
Now
it
much
concerns
you
,
and
me
,
and
all
men
,
that
are
busie
in
reproving
others
,
to
examine
our selves
by
these
things
,
what
kind
of
reproofs
we
do
administer
:
If
you
will
admit
your
work
to
be
tried
,
which
you
now
cannot
avoid
:
upon
a
little
humble
and
sober
consideration
you
will
find
,
that
in
the
administration
of
condemnation
upon
the
Magistracy
and
Ministry
,
of
Church
and
Kingdom
,
persons
and
things
,
officers
and
offices
,
you
are
very
much
short
of
the
second
of
these
,
which
I
call
a
Legal
or
Angelical
reproof
,
and
punishment
for
sin
:
For
true
,
legal
,
lawful
,
or
angelical
justice
,
is
administred
;
First
,
upon
men
as
Gods
creatures
,
made
in
his
image
,
and
so
his
children
,
though
drawn
away
by
Satan
into
the
worst
evils
.
It
is
secondly
,
not
to
ruine
or
destroy
,
but
to
reform
.
Thirdly
,
it
is
by
a
just
,
holy
,
stable
Law
,
and
not
from
mens
uncertain
and
broken
imaginations
.
Fourthly
,
it
is
from
a
just
,
holy
and
godly
life
and
nature
:
If
these
things
be
true
,
as
they
are
;
then
consider
,
What
spirit
have
you
acted
in
?
Is
it
not
mercy
and
,
justice
to
you
,
and
all
men
,
that
this
should
be
known
?
That
you
dealt
with
them
,
not
as
men
,
but
as
brats
of
Antichrist
:
And
sought
not
to
reform
either
persons
or
things
,
but
to
destroy
,
root
branch
,
abjure
and
curse
for
ever
.
And
that
by
no
steddy
known
Law
,
of
God
or
man
;
such
you
never
could
own
or
profess
:
but
by
uncertain
opinions
and
imaginations
;
which
you
never
were
,
nor
could
be
true
to
,
or
agree
in
,
either
for
Church
or
Common-wealth
:
yea
generally
,
ye
acted
besides
all
rule
,
Law
,
and
authority
;
only
by
that
you
call
necessity
,
self
preservation
and
interest
:
And
this
you
did
not
from
a
pure
nature
,
as
is
too
grosly
manifest
,
but
from
a
mixture
at
least
,
of
pride
,
envy
,
malice
,
covetousness
,
and
self-seeking
;
seen
now
by
your selves
and
all
men
.
If
you
fall
so
short
of
the
second
,
I
know
you
will
not
presume
once
to
think
of
the
third
kind
;
which
Christ
our
Lord
administred
in
the
flesh
:
first
to
discover
sin
,
and
then
to
bear
the
curse
and
punishment
of
it
himself
:
This
was
●nce
an
example
,
and
the
Saints
of
old
were
called
to
practise
the
same
thing
:
read
1
Pet.
2.19
,
20
,
&c.
and
chap.
3.17
,
18.
But
alas
,
you
are
not
yet
instructed
in
the
doctrine
of
such
a
thing
;
but
are
taught
the
contrary
,
that
this
is
only
for
Christ
to
do
,
and
not
for
men
:
But
you
are
sheep
gone
astray
,
and
led
away
by
false
spirits
,
and
for
the
present
have
lost
the
Sheeps
nature
,
and
acted
as
Woolves
:
When
you
return
unto
the
Shepherd
and
Bishop
of
your
souls
,
chap.
2.
v.
25.
he
will
teach
you
another
and
more
excellent
way
:
And
therefore
as
you
are
short
of
the
second
,
so
you
are
opposite
to
the
third
,
in
the
very
form
of
your
spirits
.
For
Christ
the
holy
one
,
dies
for
the
ungodly
:
your
holiness
serves
only
to
punish
and
destroy
the
ungodly
:
his
holiness
to
your
practice
,
must
needs
seem
either
unrighteous
,
or
foolish
and
impolitick
:
to
suffer
the
just
for
the
unjust
;
and
only
for
well-doing
,
and
to
commit
his
cause
to
God
:
Why
did
ne
not
justifie
himself
,
and
condemn
others
?
Had
he
power
in
his
hands
?
Yes
,
he
could
command
legions
,
and
that
of
Angels
:
Why
then
did
he
not
cut
off
the
wicked
out
of
the
land
,
and
plant
himself
and
followers
in
it
?
because
,
he
came
not
to
destroy
,
but
to
save
mens
lives
:
Because
he
was
Lord
and
owner
〈◊〉
the
world
;
and
not
a
thief
:
therefore
he
would
not
destroy
it
,
but
suffered
for
it
:
he
had
the
life
of
the
world
in
him
,
and
therefore
shed
his
blood
for
them
:
Because
he
would
not
gain
it
to
himself
,
but
by
death
bring
it
to
God
:
because
he
knew
he
had
an
eternal
life
,
and
could
lay
down
his
present
life
in
the
flesh
:
But
they
had
only
a
fleshly
and
sinful
life
,
and
could
not
die
,
therefore
he
chose
to
die
for
them
:
In
fine
,
he
died
for
sinners
,
because
he
loved
man
,
though
faln
,
sinful
,
and
enemies
to
him
:
and
because
he
would
be
like
his
Father
,
he
chose
by
death
to
go
to
God
(
that
is
)
be
and
do
,
as
God
is
and
doth
;
suffer
for
the
ungodly
:
Certainly
,
if
God
loves
you
,
as
I
believe
he
doth
,
he
will
bring
you
to
more
acquaintance
with
himself
and
son
;
and
shew
you
what
it
is
,
that
makes
you
such
strangers
or
enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
.
As
you
are
short
of
the
second
,
and
opposite
to
the
third
,
so
totally
ignorant
of
the
fourth
:
Indeed
where
is
among
us
,
that
Messenger
,
that
Interpreter
,
that
one
of
a
thousand
,
to
shew
to
man
his
uprightness
?
Job
33.23
,
26.
That
will
pray
unto
God
,
and
he
will
be
favourable
unto
him
,
and
render
unto
man
his
righteousness
.
This
Messenger
sent
from
God
,
this
Ad●●cate
and
Interpreter
,
is
the
holy
Spirit
,
who
knows
how
to
make
crooked
things
straight
,
unsound
things
whole
;
and
to
plead
out
an
uprightness
in
man
,
to
which
God
the
Father
of
this
uprightness
will
be
favourable
,
and
render
his
righteousness
;
for
all
our
righteousness
is
with
him
:
But
alas
,
we
are
either
wholly
ignorant
of
this
,
or
do
but
stammer
it
out
;
know
not
how
to
interpret
it
plainly
.
You
believe
you
have
an
uprightness
,
and
I
believe
you
have
a
righteousness
with
God
,
which
he
will
render
to
you
in
his
season
.
But
when
you
come
to
know
the
righteousness
that
is
with
the
Father
,
you
will
see
Kings
and
Bishops
have
a
Father
also
in
heaven
,
and
that
Christ
with
God
,
is
both
King
and
Bishop
;
and
the
King
of
Kings
,
and
Bishop
of
Bishops
;
nay
possibly
you
may
come
to
know
and
see
their
righteousness
,
before
your
own
;
and
be
glad
of
it
,
and
willing
to
have
your
part
and
share
with
them
:
but
you
never
yet
were
in
heaven
,
nor
have
you
seen
it
opened
to
you
;
but
you
measure
things
by
an
earthly
and
outward
rule
.
You
may
easily
make
a
conclusion
if
you
will
;
You
are
short
of
the
second
,
opposite
to
the
third
,
and
ignorant
of
the
fourth
kind
of
reproof
;
then
sure
,
you
act
much
in
the
first
,
which
is
the
wors●
▪
Turn
back
and
look
what
it
is
If
I
declare
this
as
a
Law
to
you
,
I
am
very
unjust
if
I
do
not
submit
to
it
my self
;
Therefore
know
this
,
that
I
do
acknowledge
,
that
reproof
only
to
be
spiritual
,
and
from
heaven
,
which
convinces
of
sin
,
righteousness
and
judgement
;
and
therefore
if
I
do
write
either
contrary
to
it
,
or
short
of
it
,
I
justly
suffer
condemnation
for
it
;
and
am
willingly
subject
to
it
;
yea
pleased
and
satisfied
,
that
nothing
shall
stand
in
the
earth
,
neither
in
my self
,
nor
any
others
,
but
what
is
measured
by
this
righteous
,
mercifull
,
and
perfect
standard
:
knowing
the
equity
,
authority
and
majesty
of
it
,
and
subjecting
my
own
life
to
it
:
I
may
justly
require
that
all
men
and
Angels
should
submit
to
it
,
as
the
only
rule
of
all
censures
and
administrations
of
justice
:
and
so
I
do
.
But
observe
and
learn
this
also
;
that
as
I
would
make
the
highest
,
the
rule
of
my
practice
,
as
I
ought
if
I
be
spiritual
,
and
as
is
due
to
it
,
being
the
heavenly
pattern
(
and
therefore
admit
of
the
second
and
third
only
in
order
to
this
:
)
yet
would
I
submit
to
the
lowest
:
I
would
administer
only
for
God
in
his
spirit
,
but
bear
that
reproof
which
comes
from
the
Devil
,
with
patience
,
as
comeing
through
Satan
,
f●●m
God
:
so
David
entertained
Shimei
his
bitter
curses
:
so
far
as
I
am
willing
or
able
to
do
the
one
,
I
am
equally
willing
and
able
to
bear
the
other
.
But
plainly
the
question
now
is
,
Have
I
so
done
?
Formerly
,
when
this
act
of
taking
away
the
life
of
the
King
,
was
committing
,
which
is
since
punished
;
I
did
reprove
the
Army
then
of
sin
,
in
one
book
:
and
of
righteousness
in
another
:
but
they
did
refuse
both
,
and
neither
repent
of
the
sin
,
nor
rceive
the
righteousness
:
And
therefore
sure
it
was
not
conviction
,
or
not
in
judgement
:
T
is
true
,
and
because
I
administred
it
,
not
in
power
,
nor
in
judgement
,
but
in
weakness
,
I
have
first
suffered
that
judgement
my self
in
my
own
spirit
:
but
yet
there
was
that
truth
in
both
,
which
God
hath
since
justified
,
and
they
fulfilled
.
For
this
last
book
,
the
reproofs
of
it
are
I
know
,
so
clear
and
convincing
,
that
no
man
doth
,
or
can
deny
,
or
resist
them
;
I
never
heard
any
question
the
truth
of
one
syllable
of
them
:
none
rise
s
up
to
plead
a
word
,
no
not
of
excuse
,
for
the
reproved
:
As
to
reason
and
righteousness
mens
mouths
are
stopped
;
and
opened
only
in
wrathfull
and
angry
reviling
,
and
fretting
against
the
hand
that
smites
:
which
is
a
proof
of
the
truth
and
weight
of
them
;
And
so
I
accept
your
passions
against
m●
as
a
witness
that
you
have
life
in
you
,
and
a
sense
of
your
reproof
:
The
sore
is
launced
,
and
the
corruption
comes
forth
:
And
know
this
,
that
as
,
there
is
reproof
of
sin
,
so
there
is
of
righteousness
:
more
then
you
are
able
to
plead
for
your selves
:
Indeed
if
a
reproof
be
just
and
righteous
:
the
righteousness
of
God
is
in
it
,
and
that
only
is
the
righteousness
of
the
creature
:
After
your
anguish
is
over
,
search
for
it
,
there
it
is
;
you
will
find
that
there
,
which
you
will
be
glad
to
make
use
of
,
to
cover
your selves
,
if
the
weather
proves
cold
and
sharp
,
as
it
is
likely
to
be
.
That
which
makes
you
sensible
of
the
reproof
of
sin
only
,
in
the
book
,
and
not
of
righteousness
,
is
this
:
It
fell
upon
you
in
the
very
nick
of
time
,
when
you
were
under
judgement
and
condemnation
from
the
Magistrate
:
which
is
,
I
confess
,
a
very
bitter
cup
:
for
men
to
fall
of
a
sudden
,
from
the
highest
of
rule
,
and
reigning
,
to
shame
and
punishment
;
you
were
so
drunk
and
drowned
with
this
wine
of
wrath
,
and
so
full
of
anguish
,
that
you
had
no
sense
of
any
thing
but
wrath
:
Men
drunk
with
passion
,
while
the
fit
lasts
,
are
not
capable
of
the
love
or
reason
of
friends
,
but
thrust
them
away
as
enemies
:
which
renews
my
sense
of
my
first
and
gr●●●
error
,
in
delaying
till
you
were
uncapable
of
the
reason
of
it
,
by
reason
of
sore
and
grevious
bondage
.
During
the
extremity
,
you
could
hear
but
one
thing
,
and
that
only
which
was
against
you
:
so
you
thought
that
all
were
your
enemies
,
that
did
not
say
as
you
said
:
and
that
every
thing
that
opposed
you
,
was
one
and
the
same
enemy
;
In
that
troubled
state
you
conclude
,
I
was
turned
to
the
world
,
and
backslidden
to
the
present
rising
power
:
Great
guilt
,
and
great
suffering
meeting
together
,
must
needs
much
disturb
the
mind
of
poor
man
:
If
you
in
the
trouble
of
your
souls
mistake
me
,
and
if
my
mind
be
clear
and
at
peace
,
I
may
well
bear
it
,
and
pitty
you
,
and
so
I
do
.
My
business
was
to
be
dayes-man
between
adverse
parties
:
I
know
I
did
not
intrude
into
the
office
,
but
refused
and
excused
,
as
Moses
:
Who
am
I
?
they
will
not
believe
,
nor
hearken
to
my
voice
.
I
am
a
man
of
no
power
or
esteem
:
and
so
put
it
off
till
I
was
compelled
to
appear
:
and
now
I
find
the
common
fate
of
them
that
interpose
,
to
part
the
fray
;
both
parties
fall
upon
him
.
You
think
I
am
turned
Courtier
:
the
Court
thinks
I
am
still
a
Fanatick
:
T
is
but
just
I
should
receive
both
your
neglects
into
me
,
standing
between
you
:
I
am
content
to
feel
the
evil
of
both
,
because
I
love
both
;
and
have
in
my
soul
good
for
both
.
But
you
do
not
only
judge
me
to
be
an
enemy
,
but
worse
,
an
apostate
brother
;
and
more
wicked
then
your
open
adversaries
,
for
they
only
afflict
the
outward
man
;
I
fall
upon
your
spirits
and
principles
;
We
shall
have
occasion
to
discourse
of
spirits
and
principles
hereafter
:
but
here
I
shall
only
mind
you
of
two
or
three
things
.
First
,
It
is
I
confess
a
very
difficult
thing
to
judge
of
principles
and
spirits
,
because
they
are
inward
:
and
therefore
strangers
and
enemies
cannot
judge
of
them
:
It
must
be
some
friend
or
brother
,
that
hath
conversed
with
them
:
They
that
are
still
under
them
;
are
judged
by
them
,
and
therefore
they
cannot
judge
of
them
:
It
must
be
some
that
have
travelled
through
them
,
and
have
had
experience
of
them
:
spirits
and
principles
are
Gods
:
and
who
can
judge
the
Gods
?
If
any
,
they
that
have
been
amongst
them
,
and
tryed
them
:
you
may
from
this
find
some
reason
,
why
I
should
be
chosen
,
to
do
this
service
for
you
:
you
generally
know
me
;
my
way
and
work
hath
been
trying
of
spirits
many
years
.
Secondly
,
as
it
is
difficult
to
judge
spirits
and
principles
,
so
it
is
hard
to
bear
the
judgement
of
them
:
Men
can
easier
die
and
lay
down
their
natural
lives
,
then
suffer
their
principles
to
be
touched
;
Men
of
any
common
honesty
,
do
freely
expose
their
flesh
to
death
,
to
save
their
Gods
,
although
they
be
but
Idols
.
But
thirdly
,
There
are
false
Gods
,
false
spirits
,
you
know
it
,
and
have
familiarly
accused
others
of
it
:
you
know
I
know
it
;
I
confess
I
do
,
as
we
say
,
to
my
cost
:
it
may
be
to
your
profit
:
you
have
of
late
been
hammering
at
a
spiritual
Antichrist
,
an
Antichrist
within
;
and
it
is
most
true
many
such
there
are
:
&
can
you
think
that
you
should
be
acting
so
many
years
against
Ant●christ
,
&
all
the
while
be
ignorant
of
an
Antichrist
within
,
who
doth
but
now
begin
to
peep
●ut
,
and
be
discovered
in
you
,
and
you
not
guilty
of
receiving
false
principles
or
spirits
?
Can
all
this
smoke
of
confusion
darkness
,
and
enmity
be
amongst
you
,
and
no
fire
of
false
spirits
?
Can
there
be
so
much
reeling
and
staggering
,
giddiness
and
instability
,
and
no
wine
of
fornication
?
no
sophisticated
or
adulterated
wine
?
No
spiritual
harlots
,
or
false
lovers
?
Must
all
the
corruption
,
rotteness
and
filth
,
he
laid
upon
the
poor
flesh
?
Is
there
no
evil
spirit
that
came
in
,
under
the
name
of
God
,
to
joyn
with
her
;
to
beget
these
bastard
brood
of
hypocrisie
,
covetousness
and
self-seeking
?
Must
man
only
bear
the
blame
,
and
not
the
unclean
spirits
that
are
gone
out
?
Or
must
God
and
his
name
only
stand
accused
;
that
he
,
led
his
people
by
his
Spirit
into
no
better
wayes
?
Is
it
not
then
both
justice
to
his
name
,
and
mercy
to
man
,
that
these
evil
spirits
and
principles
should
be
discovered
and
detected
?
As
it
is
proper
for
a
friend
or
brother
,
that
hath
been
partaker
with
you
in
them
,
and
hath
suffered
greatly
for
it
,
to
discover
them
;
so
it
will
be
found
a
friendly
and
brotherly
office
to
reprove
them
.
The
plucking
up
these
principles
that
lie
deep
and
secret
,
is
I
know
terrible
;
I
have
felt
it
so
;
It
seems
to
threaten
the
rooting
out
of
religion
and
godliness
it self
;
I
have
found
the
same
thing
in
my
tryals
:
God
comes
against
them
,
and
his
people
engaged
with
them
,
in
great
jealousie
,
enraged
as
an
enemy
,
in
fiery
indignation
,
and
vengeance
:
because
nothing
but
his
vengeance
can
destroy
them
:
but
I
have
found
great
love
in
these
fires
of
jealousie
:
yea
love
to
our
nature
,
and
persons
,
with
forgiveness
to
our
iniquities
,
even
then
when
he
takes
vengeance
of
our
inventions
.
I
know
you
can
neither
be
inwardly
cleansed
,
nor
outwardly
saved
,
but
by
a
death
in
your
spirits
,
and
loss
of
these
principles
which
have
deluded
you
,
and
brought
you
into
this
grievous
snare
:
and
therefore
shall
in
love
and
good
will
to
man
:
to
your
souls
,
lives
,
and
liberties
,
prosecute
my
purpose
,
of
manifesting
those
unsound
principles
,
that
have
deceived
and
mis-led
you
:
and
shall
not
spare
for
your
crying
or
frowardness
.
SECT.
V.
ANother
objection
against
the
Book
,
is
,
it
is
written
much
in
Allegories
;
because
the
present
state
of
things
is
there
represented
in
and
by
ancient
Scriptures
:
I
acknowledge
this
to
be
a
fault
:
and
possibly
it
might
arise
from
the
first
great
error
of
delay
:
by
keeping
it
in
too
long
,
it
might
be
thus
overgrown
with
hair
,
and
get
this
dress
:
or
at
least
,
the
same
distrust
that
made
me
unwilling
to
write
,
might
make
me
willing
to
shrowd
my
mind
under
those
coverings
of
Scripture
,
wanting
confidence
to
appear
more
open
,
or
strength
to
go
without
that
help
.
I
might
affirm
,
that
the
things
written
,
are
not
meer
allegories
:
if
they
be
so
,
they
are
to
me
hatefull
Idols
:
for
I
know
nothing
more
abominable
,
then
meer
similitudes
and
forms
of
truth
.
I
may
affirm
,
that
the
same
eternal
spirit
,
that
brought
forth
those
works
in
Adam
and
Noah
,
of
which
you
there
read
,
doth
for
ever
keep
the
living
image
of
them
in
himself
,
and
many
ages
after
brought
them
forth
in
Moses
mind
;
and
by
Moses
into
writing
:
so
that
the
works
done
,
and
the
words
writ
,
are
one
,
and
of
one
mind
and
spirit
:
The
same
eternal
spirit
having
in
himself
the
same
eternal
image
,
doth
by
it
preserve
the
image
written
,
or
the
words
and
history
:
The
same
eternal
spirit
,
eternally
works
,
and
brings
forth
his
own
likness
in
all
times
,
and
in
our
age
:
and
the
same
spirit
that
did
them
,
and
writ
them
then
,
doth
them
now
,
and
reveals
them
in
that
Book
:
He
that
is
wise
will
understand
these
things
.
But
let
them
go
for
Allegories
,
and
let
me
bear
the
blame
of
it
:
I
am
content
it
should
go
so
;
because
I
know
we
shall
gain
by
all
our
miscarriages
:
grow
wise
by
mistakes
:
For
sin
hath
something
of
Physick
in
it
;
many
times
,
if
not
alwayes
,
it
hath
its
own
cure
with
it
,
because
it
hath
its
own
destruction
in
it
:
yea
not
only
it
s
own
,
but
of
other
evils
also
:
T
is
certainly
true
to
the
godly
,
Dan.
11.35
.
And
some
of
them
of
understanding
,
shall
fall
,
to
try
them
,
and
to
purge
,
and
to
make
them
white
;
And
therefore
I
shall
learn
and
get
experience
by
this
weakness
.
I
now
see
plainly
,
the
Scripture
may
be
and
is
a
vail
:
in
some
it
is
made
use
of
,
to
cover
filthiness
:
others
make
use
of
it
out
of
fear
to
hide
the
truth
of
their
hearts
:
It
serves
sometimes
to
reveal
,
and
sometimes
to
conceal
the
mind
:
But
withal
I
see
there
is
no
hiding
place
for
me
;
I
am
necessitated
to
forsake
my
coverts
,
and
come
forth
naked
.
Many
have
hid
their
poyson
of
error
and
enmity
under
Scriptures
,
&
by
them
conveyed
their
deceit
&
lyes
neatly
wrapped
up
in
similitudes
&
allusions
:
and
that
to
destroy
:
I
would
convey
peace
and
truth
by
it
,
and
it
will
not
be
end●●ed
:
I
am
beaten
from
these
bushes
,
and
necessitated
to
all
kind
of
openess
and
plainness
:
I
was
unwilling
to
come
to
it
,
I
confess
:
but
I
see
,
I
must
say
aside
the
Velvet
scabbard
,
and
draw
the
naked
sword
,
or
else
must
be
content
with
such
shamefull
usage
as
no
man
can
bear
.
As
sin
,
so
shame
hath
its
own
cure
,
because
its
curse
,
with
it
;
He
that
obscures
himself
for
shame
,
or
from
it
,
and
for
fear
of
it
is
driven
into
a
hole
,
must
suffer
double
.
And
there
is
reason
for
it
;
because
first
he
is
weak
,
and
then
a
coward
;
and
so
deserts
himself
,
his
name
,
his
mind
,
his
cause
;
and
betrayes
his
life
and
,
righteousness
,
if
he
have
any
in
him
:
If
a
man
be
upright
,
he
need
not
go
into
a
corner
;
if
he
do
,
he
cannot
stand
upright
in
that
hole
and
corner
:
holes
are
for
Bats
and
Moles
,
for
dark
creatures
;
the
light
is
for
truth
,
and
the
open
heavens
for
uprightness
;
I
hope
I
shall
find
room
and
place
abroad
;
I
cannot
hodestly
abide
any
longer
at
home
;
sure
the
open
heavens
and
earth
are
made
for
me
,
as
well
as
others
;
why
should
not
I
enjoy
them
?
As
I
see
a
necessity
,
and
my
duty
,
to
cast
off
all
coverings
;
so
I
now
experimentally
find
,
how
little
you
have
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
or
of
true
reason
:
and
that
both
these
are
exceeding
low
,
in
the
minds
of
men
at
this
time
:
If
not
quite
slain
,
yet
very
feeble
,
weak
,
and
ready
to
die
;
imprisoned
also
and
shut
up
,
under
false
imaginations
and
fancies
of
things
:
And
therefore
if
we
think
to
instruct
men
,
it
must
be
;
not
only
by
truth
;
but
with
that
evidence
and
demonstration
that
may
heal
and
recover
,
mens
spirits
arid
understandings
.
I
profess
this
,
that
the
same
eternal
Spirit
that
wrought
those
things
in
Adam
and
Noah
,
and
writ
them
by
Moses
,
keeps
that
image
in
himself
;
and
by
it
,
contains
and
upholds
the
Scripture
,
the
outward
image
of
his
eternal
mind
;
and
the
same
spirit
working
according
to
himself
,
produces
the
same
works
now
,
from
the
same
foundation
;
and
from
the
same
light
,
gives
forth
a
discovery
of
them
:
yet
because
the
works
were
wrought
long
since
,
and
in
a
remote
part
of
the
earth
from
England
,
as
in
Paradise
,
in
another
world
,
and
at
Mount
Ararat
:
therefore
they
are
to
us
strange
and
forraign
things
,
or
at
best
,
but
allusions
:
Whereas
to
a
spiritual
man
,
all
times
and
places
are
present
,
and
all
things
in
heaven
,
and
earth
,
and
under
the
earth
,
are
gathered
into
one
,
even
into
Christ
:
In
whose
spiritual
person
we
at
once
see
and
measure
all
things
and
ages
:
because
they
are
all
in
him
,
and
made
by
him
.
I
am
sensible
that
there
is
as
much
shortness
of
reason
in
men
,
as
want
of
the
Spirit
:
For
we
are
the
natural
children
of
Adam
and
Noah
,
and
do
as
truly
derive
our
natures
from
them
,
as
we
do
from
our
Fathers
or
Grandfathers
;
yea
we
derive
our selves
more
from
them
,
because
they
are
heads
,
roots
,
and
common
or
publick
Fathers
or
Stocks
of
mankind
:
our
immediate
parents
are
but
means
,
branches
,
or
conveyances
of
life
from
those
roots
to
us
:
And
we
are
more
certainly
and
infallibly
the
children
of
Adam
and
Noah
,
then
of
our
later
Ancestors
:
And
do
receive
greater
benefit
from
them
;
Moral
,
Natural
,
and
Personal
blessings
from
Adam
:
these
renewed
by
Noah
,
and
conveyed
to
us
by
him
,
with
the
addition
of
civil
and
politick
blessings
:
And
these
given
by
Covenant
for
ever
,
establisbed
with
him
and
his
seed
for
perpetual
generations
,
Gen.
9.11
.
Me
thinks
it
shews
great
shortness
,
if
not
sensuality
and
slavery
in
mens
minds
,
that
will
enquire
after
every
foot
of
Land
that
was
their
Fathers
and
Grandfathers
,
and
boast
of
their
descent
,
if
they
have
it
from
a
Lordship
in
England
,
or
a
Mountain
in
Wales
:
and
not
enquire
after
their
natural
or
moral
properties
,
civil
and
religious
priviledges
,
which
they
do
derive
,
and
may
challenge
by
descent
from
these
Ancestors
;
yea
not
only
not
enquire
and
search
for
this
royal
and
noble
pedigree
,
but
reject
it
when
produced
:
as
if
they
were
beasts
,
not
men
;
and
rose
out
of
the
earth
and
Sea
,
as
the
beast
in
the
Revelations
;
and
as
if
we
were
sons
of
the
earth
,
that
came
into
the
world
in
some
by-way
,
and
were
of
another
case
then
that
which
God
made
in
Adam
,
or
saved
and
Covenanted
with
in
Noah
:
For
truly
,
if
the
same
life
be
in
us
,
that
God
made
in
Adam
,
and
saved
,
blessed
,
and
covenanted
with
,
in
Noah
;
it
will
as
naturally
lead
us
to
its
outward
and
visible
head
,
by
a
line
of
reason
,
as
our
spititual
life
leads
us
to
Christ
,
by
a
line
of
faith
:
For
all
ages
,
times
,
and
states
of
things
,
wrought
in
our
nature
,
are
the
proper
objects
of
our
understandings
and
reason
;
and
we
,
if
we
were
not
captivated
to
foolish
and
brutish
darkness
,
and
silly
conceits
,
might
as
freely
converse
with
them
,
as
with
present
sensible
things
:
yea
we
cannot
discern
any
present
thing
,
if
we
know
not
the
reason
and
principles
of
it
;
and
they
are
only
to
be
seen
in
the
first
founding
and
forming
of
them
:
men
are
therefore
drunk
in
fancies
,
and
are
not
yet
come
to
the
exercise
of
reason
,
which
fathoms
and
measures
all
the
things
of
man
,
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
:
indeed
he
is
not
truly
a
man
,
that
comprehends
not
in
some
measure
his
own
nature
,
in
all
ages
:
For
the
whole
history
of
the
world
,
and
all
the
parts
acted
in
it
,
are
but
the
things
of
a
man
,
and
so
pieces
of
our selves
,
if
we
are
men
:
Every
thing
is
beautiful
in
his
time
;
also
he
hath
set
the
world
in
their
heart
,
Eccles.
3.11
.
But
saith
he
,
I
know
that
whatsoever
God
doth
,
it
shall
be
for
ever
,
ver.
14.
There
is
under
these
things
which
you
call
Allegories
,
real
,
substantial
Truth
:
if
you
will
not
crack
the
shell
to
have
the
kernel
,
accept
of
my
help
:
I
will
give
forth
that
which
is
there
writren
,
concerning
your selves
at
least
,
in
a
few
plain
affirmations
:
I
have
and
do
affirm
concerning
that
party
,
that
acted
against
the
life
and
power
of
the
King
,
and
are
now
faln
.
1.
They
had
many
of
them
a
work
upon
their
spirits
,
and
many
gifts
wherewith
they
were
anointed
.
2.
These
works
and
gifts
were
but
flesh
,
but
earthly
,
but
man
:
after
the
image
of
the
first
Adam
,
which
is
of
the
earth
,
earthly
;
and
not
the
second
Adam
,
the
Lord
from
Heaven
;
Not
the
Lord
,
nor
from
Heaven
.
3.
As
they
were
earthly
and
fleshly
,
so
they
were
private
and
personal
:
servile
and
ministerial
:
not
the
Lord
:
no
largeness
to
comprehend
the
whole
:
nor
authority
to
subject
the
whole
;
nor
wisdom
to
rule
the
whole
;
either
the
whole
Nation
,
or
their
whole
party
.
4.
That
they
had
Commission
,
only
to
destroy
,
subdue
and
punish
the
Church
and
Kingdom
,
standing
in
darkness
and
corruption
:
There
never
was
in
that
party
,
or
people
,
any
union
,
strength
,
glory
or
success
,
in
any
thing
,
but
in
fighting
and
killing
:
And
therefore
could
never
attain
any
Civil
or
Religious
body
,
either
to
be
a
Church
or
Kingdom
,
but
an
Army
to
fight
:
And
for
this
work
they
were
anointed
and
sanctified
.
So
was
Cyrus
and
his
Medes
,
Isa.
13.3
.
and
45.1
.
which
is
not
only
a
Legal
Ministry
,
but
a
heathenish
and
bloody
one
.
5.
That
when
they
had
subdued
and
broken
down
,
they
had
nothing
to
build
:
no
new
Law
or
Religion
,
either
from
heaven
or
earth
;
either
for
themselves
only
;
or
for
the
whole
Nation
:
No
man
,
or
sort
of
men
,
did
ever
so
much
as
pretend
,
that
they
were
Legislators
;
nor
did
ever
tender
to
the
Nation
a
Law
,
either
from
heaven
or
earth
:
but
after
they
had
cursed
and
rejected
the
old
state
,
they
dressed
up
the
carkase
of
King
,
Lords
and
Commons
;
in
a
Protector
,
another
House
,
and
a
Parliament
;
and
had
more
stability
in
it
,
then
in
any
of
their
inventions
beside
:
They
never
could
produce
any
thing
,
like
unto
the
wisdom
and
reason
of
a
Law
;
but
every
bird
would
chatter
its
own
note
;
such
broken
stuff
and
absurd
confusion
never
was
.
6.
They
never
had
a
publick
or
healing
spirit
;
talk
they
did
of
the
common
good
of
all
men
:
But
their
spirit
was
not
only
narrow
,
but
stood
in
opposition
to
the
spirit
of
the
Nation
:
They
were
alwayes
bound
up
most
firmly
and
strongly
to
a
private
,
and
so
to
a
selfish
spirit
,
and
could
never
be
perswaded
to
accept
of
any
thing
that
was
large
:
Those
miserable
principles
,
of
Interest
,
Self-preservation
,
and
Necessity
,
began
,
carried
on
,
and
ended
the
War
and
Party
.
7.
Their
gifts
and
work
being
fleshly
and
earthly
,
and
having
only
figures
and
prophesies
of
the
heavenly
Kingdom
of
God
,
●nd
not
the
nature
and
substance
of
that
Kingdom
with
them
,
they
could
not
administer
it
;
but
those
prophesies
and
figures
must
cease
and
die
,
before
the
truth
of
the
Kingdom
can
come
forth
.
8.
Their
gifts
being
only
private
and
personal
,
and
their
work
only
to
subdue
and
●ull
down
,
when
they
aspired
beyond
their
●bility
and
commission
,
to
reign
and
to
make
●ew
Common-wealths
,
and
new
Churches
;
●hey
corrupted
,
into
pride
,
enmity
,
op●ression
,
covetousness
,
self-seeking
:
greedily
●evouring
the
wealth
,
riches
,
pleasures
,
ho●ours
and
places
,
which
they
had
cursed
and
condemned
;
and
therein
were
more
foul
●hen
those
that
they
cast
out
.
9.
And
from
corruption
they
fell
into
divisions
,
jealousies
,
persecuting
others
and
●ne
another
,
and
so
into
destractions
and
confusions
.
10.
And
by
that
,
into
their
present
re●ection
,
from
all
power
,
authority
,
riches
,
●nd
estates
,
into
contempt
;
imprisonment
,
poverty
;
plunged
into
a
deep
Baptism
of
afflictions
and
disappointment
.
11.
Into
which
if
they
can
retire
,
with
meekness
,
humility
,
and
repentance
,
they
will
find
rest
,
safety
,
and
purifying
:
A
condition
more
sweet
,
and
clean
:
and
as
to
God
and
their
souls
,
more
comfortable
and
profitable
,
then
their
former
greatness
,
though
it
be
to
the
flesh
grievous
.
12.
There
,
the
Book
would
leave
them
in
quietness
,
and
cover
them
from
the
wrath
of
their
enemies
;
justifying
them
in
the
exercise
of
their
private
and
personal
gifts
,
as
honest
men
:
And
promising
them
a
resurrection
in
a
more
large
,
pure
,
spiritual
and
durable
state
.
Ministries
and
Dispensations
of
a
far
more
excellent
glory
then
this
,
have
perished
;
and
why
there
should
be
such
unwillingness
to
bury
this
,
I
know
not
:
It
died
to
me
,
and
in
me
long
since
;
and
hath
been
ever
since
,
corrupting
,
rotting
,
reeling
and
staggering
,
till
it
fell
in
pieces
:
It
hath
had
its
time
,
done
its
work
,
fulfilled
its
Ministry
,
emptied
and
poured
out
all
the
wrath
it
had
upon
others
,
and
when
it
had
executed
others
,
it
was
a
torment
and
vexation
to
it self
,
wanting
other
matter
to
work
upon
:
The
Party
it self
was
weary
of
it
,
complained
of
the
vanity
,
corruption
,
and
filthyness
of
it
,
were
ashamed
of
it
,
annoyed
by
it
;
it
stunk
so
in
the
nostrils
of
every
ingenuous
and
enlightened
spirit
:
none
pleased
at
it
,
but
for
what
they
got
and
kept
by
it
:
none
easie
under
it
,
but
sick
of
it
;
and
it self
sick
and
hated
,
at
last
executed
it self
:
to
fulfill
that
word
,
He
that
taketh
up
the
sword
,
shall
perish
by
the
sword
;
even
by
that
sword
they
took
up
,
and
by
that
force
they
fomed
.
That
Power
,
that
Army
they
raised
against
the
King
;
turns
to
the
King
,
and
against
them
that
raised
it
:
It
was
long
dying
,
and
every
Party
watched
to
have
had
it
themselves
,
and
were
pulling
and
catching
at
it
;
some
had
it
one
while
,
and
some
another
;
whilest
quarreling
amongst
your selves
,
it
is
faln
into
your
Adversaries
hands
;
and
that
I
suppose
is
the
great
trouble
:
You
would
be
content
it
should
die
,
and
you
would
execute
it
;
but
thought
also
,
it
belonged
to
the
Executor
,
to
have
its
riches
,
honours
,
power
and
success
:
But
it
seems
there
was
an
elder
Brother
,
an
heir
alive
,
that
you
did
not
dream
of
:
Though
this
work
of
yours
,
with
its
power
,
fall
very
contrary
to
your
hopes
,
designs
,
purchases
,
and
carnal
confidences
;
yet
not
contrary
to
many
hints
of
prophesies
,
in
their
own
spirits
,
nor
contrary
to
common
justice
and
reason
:
For
first
,
it
hath
been
often
said
to
you
,
and
in
you
,
Not
by
might
nor
by
power
,
but
by
my
Spirit
:
That
an
Army
is
a
harsh
,
cruel
,
worldly
,
brutish
,
self-seeking
power
;
and
that
while
it
stood
it
was
a
burden
to
all
,
but
them
that
received
pay
in
it
or
by
it
:
And
secondly
,
if
it
doth
fall
,
as
you
thought
and
desired
,
what
must
necessarily
follow
?
The
antient
Government
of
the
Nation
was
suppressed
by
force
;
if
it
had
been
by
Light
and
Reason
,
that
Light
that
removed
one
,
would
have
shewed
us
a
better
;
but
that
we
could
never
see
:
The
old
one
,
being
suppressed
,
(
and
only
suppressed
,
for
all
you
could
do
,
could
not
root
it
out
)
and
no
other
prepared
;
if
that
force
that
suppresseth
it
,
be
weary
,
sick
,
forsaken
,
and
spent
,
whether
should
it
go
,
but
to
its
center
,
to
the
standing
foundation
?
If
the
force
ceales
that
suppressed
,
what
can
be
expected
but
that
the
old
suppressed
Government
should
rise
?
When
therefore
either
the
purity
or
truth
of
your
spirits
,
or
the
power
of
your
reason
,
shall
prevail
over
your
passions
and
losses
,
you
will
rest
satisfied
.
That
you
still
are
chafing
and
rubbing
this
dead
body
,
to
keep
or
recover
life
in
it
,
or
are
so
lamentably
angry
for
the
loss
of
it
,
I
would
have
that
charity
to
hope
,
that
it
is
,
because
you
think
:
that
holiness
and
godliness
will
be
suppressed
,
and
prophaness
and
wickedness
will
get
up
.
To
satisfie
you
,
know
this
assuredly
:
1.
Iniquity
&
unrighteousness
had
got
a
Sanctuary
in
and
amongst
you
:
and
was
lodged
more
secure
in
your
professions
and
gifts
,
then
in
any
company
or
state
of
men
in
the
earth
:
and
therefore
2.
It
is
a
most
holy
and
righteous
God
that
hath
pulled
down
,
or
is
pulling
down
that
strong
hold
,
that
spiritual
wickedness
in
high
places
:
And
3.
As
God
will
not
suffer
iniquity
to
harbour
under
his
own
name
,
and
cause
:
so
he
will
not
suffer
it
to
rest
upon
the
earth
:
for
the
earth
is
the
Lords
,
and
the
creation
is
his
.
4.
Sin
and
ungodliness
got
ground
of
you
,
in
your
greatness
and
riches
;
you
know
it
did
:
And
while
you
thought
to
reform
the
world
,
you
were
deformed
by
it
;
and
that
the
spirit
that
engaged
for
righteousness
against
the
world
,
betrayed
that
cause
;
and
fell
into
the
unrighteousness
and
filth
that
it
opposed
:
The
Lord
rejects
this
pretender
,
in
great
jealousie
:
know
assuredly
,
God
in
this
act
is
gone
forth
with
vengeance
against
unholiness
,
and
will
manifest
himself
in
such
holiness
as
you
will
not
bear
,
if
you
were
not
plunged
into
suffering
.
5.
Know
,
God
hath
set
his
holy
Son
upon
his
holy
hill
of
Zion
:
The
Lord
reigns
in
righteousness
:
and
in
righteousness
hath
brought
you
down
for
your
unholiness
:
and
if
you
have
any
true
love
to
holiness
:
but
a
spark
of
the
truth
,
of
what
you
profess
,
you
will
rejoyce
more
in
these
fires
,
while
they
consume
you
,
and
your
dross
,
then
ever
you
did
in
your
success
and
greatness
:
because
God
is
now
avenging
himself
of
his
wicked
enemies
,
that
lurked
in
the
prayers
,
preachings
,
gifts
,
prophecying
of
his
kingdom
;
and
for
the
world
,
trouble
not
your self
with
that
:
he
hath
laid
you
aside
as
unworthy
of
,
and
false
to
the
work
of
reformation
,
which
you
professed
;
he
that
refuses
that
spirit
,
because
it
was
unholy
and
base
,
hath
a
more
excellent
spirit
,
which
he
will
manifest
to
the
purging
of
all
things
and
all
men
:
I
cannot
without
some
indignation
pass
this
point
:
that
men
so
palpably
corrupt
,
and
unclean
,
when
under
rebuke
and
judgement
,
and
that
for
their
impurity
,
yet
should
think
,
that
they
are
the
only
Champions
of
holiness
:
as
if
the
cause
of
holiness
did
die
or
fall
with
them
!
No
,
it
is
iniquity
and
hypocrisie
that
falls
:
There
is
an
incorruptible
holiness
that
is
mighty
,
and
will
throughly
purge
away
yours
and
others
dross
,
and
cleanse
the
whole
earth
.
As
to
the
things
that
I
write
in
my
Book
concerning
his
Majestie
,
and
those
principles
of
rest
and
grace
,
laid
in
Noah
,
and
in
that
Covenant
,
which
God
made
with
him
and
his
seed
for
perpetual
generations
;
which
I
affirm
to
be
the
firm
foundations
of
all
the
Kingdoms
of
the
world
:
that
tried
stone
,
tried
first
in
all
Nations
,
and
then
laid
in
Zion
,
and
is
now
the
root
of
his
Majesties
restoration
,
after
his
long
sufferings
:
I
confess
the
things
are
deep
,
and
remote
from
common
understandings
:
What
I
feared
and
writ
concerning
these
principles
,
I
find
true
:
that
they
are
little
understood
,
being
yet
low
and
under
a
vail
,
and
therefore
might
appear
remote
and
strange
,
both
to
his
Majestie
and
the
Nation
,
which
way
prolong
our
trouble
,
&c.
They
are
so
indeed
,
understood
neither
by
one
side
nor
other
;
Let
them
lie
and
sleep
a
while
;
foundations
must
do
so
:
when
shaking
and
troubles
make
us
need
them
,
they
will
be
enquired
after
:
if
any
do
,
there
they
are
.
But
my
friends
,
let
us
reason
a
little
together
,
and
lay
aside
all
allusions
,
and
all
passions
,
and
soberly
consider
what
evil
was
offered
to
you
in
that
book
;
After
the
case
of
the
prisoners
,
and
so
of
the
partie
,
was
represented
(
I
still
think
to
their
advantage
,
more
then
ever
I
yet
met
with
elsewhere
)
the
desire
was
,
to
wave
that
tryal
,
and
procure
another
Court
,
that
should
try
principles
,
that
might
at
least
supersede
or
succeed
that
.
What
the
issue
of
that
Court
and
tryal
is
,
we
now
see
,
and
had
reason
to
foresee
.
Supposing
his
Majesty
and
the
Law
of
the
Nation
,
to
be
offended
,
and
provoked
against
them
that
took
away
the
life
of
the
late
King
:
what
probable
or
rational
way
was
left
,
to
save
the
Prisoners
;
but
by
moving
that
they
and
their
principles
,
and
so
the
principles
of
the
whole
party
,
should
be
tried
in
a
higher
and
more
spiritual
Court
:
A
trial
must
be
;
the
common
Law
,
and
ordinary
way
certainly
destroyes
both
life
,
liberty
,
and
estate
:
To
avoid
that
,
another
must
be
proposed
:
What
rests
to
be
tryed
,
but
opinions
and
principles
?
And
how
can
that
be
done
humanely
,
but
by
such
a
Court
,
and
by
such
a
Law
,
as
is
there
propounded
?
If
those
principles
are
good
,
they
may
not
only
be
justified
,
but
prevail
to
rule
:
if
they
be
not
found
so
,
then
their
deceit
will
be
discovered
,
your
judgements
delivered
from
them
,
and
the
prisoners
and
Party
in
a
fair
way
to
be
pardoned
by
,
and
reconciled
to
the
present
power
:
Or
else
a
third
and
middle
state
would
have
appeared
:
A
large
,
righteous
,
and
merciful
Law
might
have
been
produced
,
that
might
have
united
,
comprehended
,
and
saved
both
Parties
:
I
confess
freely
,
I
do
believe
and
know
,
it
is
to
be
had
,
and
will
come
forth
,
whenever
the
righteous
and
good
Law
of
God
,
may
obtain
among
men
,
and
right
reason
may
be
heard
.
I
confess
to
obtain
this
,
I
did
declare
to
his
Majestie
,
my
sense
and
judgement
of
your
principles
;
which
I
have
long
had
,
and
do
still
retain
,
upon
a
judgement
made
by
many
and
great
trials
in
my
spirit
;
and
confirmed
by
constant
experience
,
much
examination
and
deliberation
:
And
being
many
years
fully
convinced
of
,
humbled
,
and
sore
afflicted
for
that
prophane
,
carnal
,
cruel
,
and
selfish
spirit
,
in
which
this
work
was
begun
and
carried
on
,
I
did
and
do
still
offer
them
up
to
trial
;
and
was
and
am
still
willing
,
that
his
Majestie
and
the
Nation
might
see
,
that
they
need
not
seek
the
lives
of
men
,
seeing
they
might
have
the
principles
,
which
is
the
best
satisfaction
can
be
given
.
It
is
that
which
I
have
long
desired
,
even
of
this
Party
,
when
they
were
up
,
That
we
might
have
a
Bar
of
Religion
,
and
Reason
,
where
the
right
of
all
parties
in
the
Nation
may
be
fairly
argued
and
heard
;
but
could
never
obtain
it
:
I
do
judge
it
the
true
and
only
Christian
,
and
humane
way
,
to
come
to
Peace
;
and
therfore
I
shall
and
do
earnestly
desire
it
:
There
is
nothing
in
the
earth
that
I
do
seek
more
then
this
,
That
my
mind
and
judgement
may
be
tried
by
the
Reason
and
Religion
of
the
Nation
;
or
the
Reason
and
Religion
of
the
Nation
,
tryed
by
my
Judgement
.
Had
it
been
a
known
enemy
,
that
had
propounded
such
a
thing
to
you
,
why
should
you
be
angry
at
it
?
or
why
not
embrace
and
seek
it
?
For
a
people
that
profess
themselves
Spiritual
and
Saints
,
to
engage
in
a
war
,
to
the
expence
of
so
much
blood
for
their
Religion
,
and
at
last
wave
an
argument
for
it
;
it
is
strange
:
you
will
sure
in
time
examine
the
reason
,
why
it
should
be
so
;
And
consider
whether
that
cause
be
truly
Christian
,
that
avoids
a
Christian
trial
;
that
shrinks
from
reason
,
and
will
not
appear
against
its
enemy
,
but
in
arms
,
with
a
rude
and
tumultuous
rable
:
Truth
and
integrity
,
cannot
but
rejoyce
in
a
combate
of
Reason
:
and
it
is
gross
guilt
and
carnality
,
either
in
the
cause
or
persons
,
that
declines
argument
,
and
flyes
to
brutish
force
.
If
you
fear
treachery
,
that
your
principles
might
have
been
drawn
out
,
and
so
your
persons
exposed
to
danger
:
That
wisdom
that
makes
you
suspect
,
would
enable
to
prevent
such
danger
:
freedom
of
discourse
,
is
commonly
granted
in
time
of
arbitration
;
with
security
against
taking
advantage
by
such
discourses
:
But
alas
,
neither
you
,
nor
any
other
,
no
not
your
enemies
,
can
possibly
bring
forth
your
principles
so
ill-favoured
,
as
they
have
appeared
in
action
:
I
dare
say
,
there
is
no
man
in
this
Nation
,
but
his
Reason
or
Religion
will
teach
him
a
better
state
of
things
,
then
hath
been
acted
in
the
Nation
,
since
these
wars
begun
;
that
no
mans
mind
or
reason
is
so
crooked
and
absurd
as
the
series
of
actions
have
been
:
It
will
be
found
that
poor
men
,
have
been
hurried
and
thrust
into
many
things
,
either
by
company
,
incogitancy
,
the
influences
of
the
stars
,
or
rather
the
predominancie
of
evil
spirits
,
by
the
irresistible
fate
of
times
,
or
some
superiour
over-ruling
determinations
of
Providence
:
Few
men
have
exercised
judgement
in
these
wars
;
either
humane
or
Christian
,
but
have
been
tossed
about
,
by
the
earth-quakes
,
and
violent
commotions
of
greater
powers
:
And
if
we
could
come
but
to
look
into
mens
minds
,
when
passions
and
furies
are
over
,
we
shall
see
that
men
are
better
things
,
then
they
have
appeared
in
this
Scene
of
War
:
And
that
at
bottom
there
is
but
one
man
,
one
nature
,
one
religion
,
and
that
a
good
one
:
Therefore
I
know
I
am
a
friend
to
you
and
to
mankind
,
in
seeking
to
draw
forth
the
reason
of
men
,
to
sift
and
trie
principles
and
opinions
.
But
there
is
so
much
jealousie
and
accusation
in
the
world
,
that
men
are
not
only
jealous
of
all
others
,
but
of
themselves
also
.
If
men
misjudge
mankind
,
they
must
needs
misjudge
themselves
:
the
first
they
do
,
it
is
too
manifest
:
and
therefore
cannot
be
wholly
free
from
the
second
:
It
is
sure
your
too
hard
thoughts
of
your selves
,
and
suspition
of
your
principles
,
that
makes
you
afraid
to
appear
in
them
:
I
know
there
is
a
strong
passion
of
fear
upon
you
;
a
great
dread
of
sufferings
in
your
minds
:
And
all
your
thoughts
are
,
how
to
bear
the
evil
of
this
day
;
so
drowned
in
a
sense
of
it
,
that
you
can
hardly
think
a
thought
of
any
thing
else
,
nor
admit
of
a
proposition
of
peace
and
safety
to
your selves
.
It
is
true
and
evident
,
that
the
way
and
course
of
your
actions
,
have
been
directly
against
the
antient
power
,
authority
,
and
Law
of
the
Nation
:
And
you
are
unhappily
set
in
an
opposite
and
contrary
spirit
to
them
:
and
have
done
as
much
against
them
,
as
you
could
:
You
thought
you
had
laid
them
all
low
enough
,
and
had
buried
them
so
deep
,
that
they
could
never
rise
again
:
And
that
you
had
gotten
into
a
heaven
,
into
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
or
so
near
it
,
that
all
danger
of
suffering
had
been
quite
past
:
But
now
you
see
,
that
all
the
weight
and
strength
of
your
Prayers
,
Gifts
and
Knowledge
,
together
with
your
Armies
,
cannot
keep
down
the
things
that
you
opposed
,
nor
uphold
you
against
them
:
But
contrary
to
all
your
thoughts
,
when
you
were
strongest
they
rose
up
against
you
.
A
state
,
law
,
and
power
of
a
Nation
,
is
a
mighty
thing
;
and
to
rise
up
from
death
and
the
curse
,
(
whether
you
had
sent
it
)
provoked
against
you
by
so
many
and
great
injuries
,
must
needs
be
very
terrible
to
you
:
It
would
scare
a
man
to
see
his
enemy
alive
,
that
he
thought
he
had
slain
,
were
it
but
a
single
person
:
But
to
find
the
whole
Magistracie
and
Ministry
of
the
Nation
,
the
King
,
Nobility
,
and
Gentrie
,
with
many
thousands
of
oppressed
people
,
rise
up
against
you
,
in
all
the
power
and
strength
of
the
Nation
,
Civil
and
Military
(
all
which
have
suffered
from
you
)
I
know
it
must
needs
astonish
and
amaze
you
;
coming
upon
you
so
much
contrary
to
the
assurance
you
had
(
as
you
thought
from
God
)
of
a
better
state
:
I
do
not
wonder
when
I
consider
it
,
that
you
are
overwhelmed
with
fears
,
and
despair
of
receiving
any
good
from
them
,
that
rise
from
that
pit
of
destruction
,
into
which
you
had
doomed
them
for
ever
:
looking
upon
them
as
you
do
,
as
Antichristian
,
enemies
to
God
,
and
for
in
rejected
,
you
cannot
expect
good
from
them
.
You
are
so
oppressed
with
the
evil
that
is
upon
you
,
that
you
sink
into
resolutions
of
suffering
,
and
judge
your selves
lost
for
the
present
;
and
your
thoughts
are
only
to
bear
the
indignation
that
is
upon
you
:
You
could
not
forgive
your selves
,
nor
your
enemies
;
neither
could
your
enemies
forgive
you
:
I
do
forgive
them
,
and
you
;
and
so
shall
,
do
the
worst
you
can
:
For
my
love
is
absolute
,
without
condition
,
and
therefore
without
repentance
:
In
love
to
you
,
I
proposed
a
sacrifice
,
and
an
atonement
:
Which
is
not
your
honesty
or
godliness
:
but
these
things
which
we
call
principles
,
(
I
care
not
to
call
them
so
any
longer
)
I
mean
opinions
or
tenents
,
which
I
say
,
are
delusions
,
deceits
,
or
at
best
broken
,
imperfect
,
and
short
apprehensions
,
or
mis-apprehensions
of
things
,
that
have
misled
you
in
all
your
business
,
into
such
crooked
pathes
;
that
perverted
your
Counsels
,
corrupted
your
spirits
,
and
made
you
a
vexation
to
your selves
and
friends
,
a
burden
and
scourge
to
the
Nation
:
These
would
I
have
found
out
,
and
sacrificed
,
that
not
only
your
honesty
and
uprightness
may
be
discovered
,
which
is
certainly
another
thing
from
them
,
but
that
your
lives
and
liberties
may
be
preserved
also
.
But
neither
side
,
would
regard
what
was
offered
:
You
would
not
part
with
your
opinions
,
called
principles
,
no
nor
offer
them
to
tryal
Neither
would
the
Law
,
and
authority
of
the
Nation
accept
of
any
such
sacrifice
:
but
being
of
a
more
outward
and
earthly
nature
,
hath
required
outward
and
bodily
satisfaction
:
What
could
not
be
resisted
,
we
must
be
content
patiently
to
endure
.
SECT.
VI.
WE
may
now
hope
,
that
this
scene
of
blood
is
over
,
and
that
the
Law
and
Authority
of
the
Nation
is
satisfied
,
if
it
be
not
again
provoked
by
new
attempts
upon
the
peace
:
My
soul
is
a
friend
to
peace
,
and
an
enemy
to
destruction
:
And
therefore
I
shall
,
I
hope
,
perpetually
seek
Peace
,
and
endeavour
to
prevent
mischief
:
May
I
now
obtain
so
much
favour
of
you
,
in
your
low
and
afflicted
state
,
as
calmly
and
rationally
to
consider
,
what
I
have
and
do
propose
;
weigh
it
well
.
I
do
affirm
,
that
there
is
that
good
in
the
office
and
institution
of
a
King
;
and
that
good
in
the
nature
and
person
or
his
Majestie
,
as
a
man
and
a
Prince
,
if
we
consider
no
more
,
that
you
may
live
under
him
,
with
more
Peace
,
spiritual
comfort
,
more
holiness
,
and
godliness
,
and
with
less
sin
and
evil
,
then
you
have
done
all
these
wars
,
or
since
:
This
I
affirm
upon
knowledge
of
a
sure
root
and
foundation
laid
by
God
and
Jesus
Christ
,
in
the
beginning
of
the
world
(
now
manifested
and
revealed
)
so
firmly
and
strongly
,
that
no
humors
,
passions
,
or
lusts
of
men
,
nor
any
spirits
and
powers
of
darkness
can
overthrow
:
so
that
what
ever
men
say
or
do
,
the
foundation
is
sure
;
they
may
prejudice
themselves
,
and
deprive
themselves
of
the
comfort
and
benefit
of
it
,
but
the
foundation
remains
firm
:
for
it
is
that
tried
stone
,
that
hath
born
all
Nations
,
in
all
ages
.
I
have
likewise
affirmed
to
his
Majestie
concerning
you
,
and
your
way
and
work
:
that
the
spirit
of
that
Ministrie
,
in
which
you
acted
against
him
,
is
dead
:
that
your
power
both
Civil
and
Military
hath
resigned
to
him
;
and
that
the
principles
,
or
opinions
being
proper
only
for
that
work
of
destroying
,
and
of
their
own
nature
weak
and
short
,
are
reducible
:
And
then
,
that
there
are
in
you
,
those
gifts
and
abilities
,
that
may
be
of
singular
use
to
him
,
and
the
Kingdom
:
So
that
upon
a
good
understanding
between
you
,
the
King
may
be
happy
in
you
,
and
you
in
him
.
As
the
thing
propounded
is
not
only
just
and
honest
in
the
sight
of
all
men
:
but
also
good
and
profitable
for
all
Parties
:
To
you
,
no
less
then
saving
of
life
,
liberty
and
estate
:
To
his
Majestie
,
security
,
honour
,
and
the
great
advantage
of
the
hearts
,
affections
and
judgements
of
a
great
and
considerable
people
:
And
to
all
the
Nation
,
that
rich
blessing
of
Peace
:
in
knowledge
and
right
understanding
:
So
the
means
propounded
to
this
end
,
is
as
innocent
and
safe
:
That
wise
,
sober
,
and
spiritual
men
,
of
large
hearts
,
and
indifferent
in
their
judgements
,
should
have
the
hearing
and
trying
of
mens
principles
and
opinions
.
The
end
being
unquestionably
good
,
peace
and
love
:
and
the
means
to
that
end
proportionable
,
a
trial
of
mens
opinions
before
the
wisest
and
best
in
the
Church
:
We
cannot
reasonably
doubt
of
a
good
effect
:
except
we
conclude
one
of
these
two
things
:
that
there
is
not
with
men
,
or
in
the
Church
,
that
Grace
and
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
is
able
to
judge
and
lead
into
a
way
of
Peace
:
or
else
that
men
are
not
willing
to
receive
that
blessing
of
Peace
,
though
it
should
be
manifested
:
No
man
can
conclude
the
first
,
without
the
guilt
of
unbelief
:
and
denying
the
truth
of
the
Promise
of
God
,
that
his
spirit
shall
abide
with
his
people
for
ever
:
nor
the
second
without
great
injury
and
uncharitableness
to
mankind
:
But
if
his
word
and
Spirit
be
with
us
;
and
that
Word
and
Spirit
be
sufficient
for
that
end
,
whereunto
it
is
given
,
which
is
to
purifie
,
enlighten
,
heal
and
unite
the
body
of
Christ
;
(
to
deny
it
is
blasphemy
against
that
Spirit
)
then
walking
according
to
the
rule
of
that
Word
and
Spirit
,
we
need
not
doubt
of
obtaining
that
end
,
which
is
so
much
according
to
his
own
nature
;
which
is
love
,
peace
and
salvation
.
Why
you
should
think
that
such
a
proposal
should
come
from
an
enemy
,
I
can
impute
it
to
nothing
but
this
,
the
extremity
of
your
anguish
,
under
your
fore
and
grievous
loss
and
disappointment
;
which
makes
all
things
seem
harsh
,
while
the
mind
is
drowned
in
that
sense
:
It
is
true
,
you
meet
with
sharp
reproof
there
;
but
you
must
come
to
find
true
love
in
the
severest
reproof
,
before
you
can
be
soundly
healed
.
Proposals
of
a
Treatie
and
Peace
,
for
the
preventing
of
present
and
imminent
danger
,
use
not
to
be
the
way
of
enemies
:
If
such
things
should
come
from
a
professed
enemy
,
I
think
the
nature
of
the
things
deserves
acceptance
,
and
not
scorn
or
reviling
:
I
confess
I
think
you
have
wronged
me
,
and
the
Book
,
and
I
therefore
might
require
reparations
of
you
;
I
know
in
time
you
will
give
it
:
There
is
that
right
and
reason
in
you
,
which
will
give
me
satisfaction
,
when
it
shall
recover
it self
,
from
the
passions
of
fear
,
grief
and
anger
;
which
now
darken
and
suppress
it
.
In
the
mean
time
let
us
consider
,
whether
there
be
not
something
in
the
Book
,
that
is
yet
improveable
for
the
good
of
the
whole
Party
that
stand
in
opposition
to
the
present
Government
,
and
so
are
in
danger
to
be
destroyed
by
it
.
We
hope
his
Majestie
,
and
in
him
,
the
Law
is
satisfied
,
and
by
that
sacrifice
of
blood
that
hath
been
shed
,
is
attoned
,
as
to
past
things
:
yet
the
breath
is
not
healed
,
but
your
spirits
are
still
set
in
opposition
to
the
power
of
the
Nation
;
and
the
Law
and
Power
of
the
Nation
,
looks
upon
you
with
jealousie
and
an
evil
eye
,
thinking
that
yet
you
may
attempt
against
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
:
Great
discontent
appears
in
you
;
it
cannot
be
hid
;
all
endeavours
are
used
to
uphold
,
and
revive
the
cause
;
and
consequently
,
that
enmity
and
war
that
hath
formerly
been
acted
against
his
Majestie
and
Party
.
This
is
seen
,
known
and
felt
;
and
doth
undoubtedly
provoke
the
Power
of
the
Nation
,
to
endeavour
the
suppressing
the
Party
,
for
preventing
future
inconvenience
:
It
cannot
be
otherwise
,
all
men
do
it
:
When
you
had
the
Power
,
you
did
as
they
now
do
:
you
interrupted
their
meetings
,
and
required
Oathes
of
them
:
This
now
fills
the
prisons
,
ruines
many
Families
,
exasperates
mens
Spirits
into
bitterness
and
wrath
,
which
destroyes
the
sweetness
and
comfort
of
religion
,
wounds
the
life
and
power
of
godliness
,
and
grieves
the
good
spirit
of
love
and
peace
in
Christ
.
What
ever
you
think
of
it
now
,
I
know
it
is
in
it self
a
good
and
mercifull
work
,
and
will
be
so
acknowledged
by
you
in
time
;
to
reconcile
a
poor
broken
people
,
(
guilty
by
Law
,
and
their
own
consciences
,
)
to
the
authority
and
power
of
the
Nation
,
in
which
they
live
.
For
a
naked
people
,
to
be
in
their
judgements
and
affections
zealously
set
against
the
Law
and
Government
of
a
Nation
,
which
is
provoked
,
and
enraged
;
newly
recovered
and
restored
;
experienced
,
fore-warned
,
and
fore-armed
against
them
;
what
ever
may
be
expected
hereafter
,
there
is
in
it
,
apparent
ruine
for
the
present
:
Alas
,
a
Law
and
Power
,
is
an
Iron
Scepter
;
and
in
the
hand
of
a
self
preserving
spirit
(
such
as
was
in
you
,
and
is
in
all
men
yet
)
must
needs
be
hard
to
them
that
are
professed
enemies
to
it
.
The
consideration
of
it
wounds
my
soul
,
and
affects
my
bowels
of
compassion
to
you
;
which
urges
me
to
do
what
I
can
,
to
prevent
misery
to
your
persons
and
families
:
And
therefore
I
do
earnestly
entreat
you
to
consider
seriously
,
whether
your
botom
upon
which
you
stand
,
in
this
divided
and
opposite
state
,
to
the
present
power
and
Government
of
Church
and
Kingdom
,
be
sufficient
to
bear
you
up
,
against
what
you
are
likely
to
suffer
if
you
persist
.
The
foundation
upon
which
you
stand
,
is
this
;
You
presume
and
conclude
,
First
,
That
you
are
the
select
and
only
people
of
God
;
his
Zion
,
and
Israel
;
the
true
and
only
Gospel
Saints
:
And
those
that
you
oppose
are
Aegypt
,
Babylon
,
the
World
,
and
Antichristian
.
Secondly
,
that
your
way
in
which
you
have
and
do
walk
,
and
the
works
that
you
have
done
,
and
would
do
again
,
are
according
to
the
pure
word
and
Law
of
God
;
and
that
which
you
oppose
,
is
all
Wickedness
,
Superstition
,
and
Idolatry
:
Thirdly
,
That
the
war
in
which
you
have
been
engaged
,
and
upon
which
you
stand
,
is
the
way
of
God
according
to
his
will
and
word
,
and
therefore
hath
been
and
will
be
owned
and
justified
by
him
.
Supposing
all
this
,
that
you
are
the
people
of
God
,
and
Zion
,
in
Gods
way
and
word
,
engaged
in
his
cause
,
against
Babylon
and
Antichrist
,
there
is
then
an
unquestionable
ground
and
assurance
of
a
blessed
success
,
from
the
manifold
promises
of
the
Scripture
.
But
if
this
be
not
true
;
and
that
you
in
this
state
,
and
in
this
opposition
,
are
not
that
body
that
shall
attain
those
promises
:
And
this
be
not
the
only
way
of
God
,
in
which
you
walk
,
and
this
war
and
engagement
,
be
not
the
means
appointed
by
God
,
to
attain
that
glory
you
expect
;
then
be
your
intentions
never
so
good
and
zealous
,
your
prayers
never
so
fervent
,
your
gifts
never
so
many
,
your
constancy
never
so
great
,
yet
you
will
fail
;
and
the
further
you
proceed
in
it
,
the
greater
your
loss
will
be
.
If
all
this
should
be
true
;
that
you
should
be
the
people
,
yours
the
way
,
war
the
means
:
yet
if
you
fail
but
in
the
circumstance
of
time
:
if
this
be
not
the
time
determined
for
the
fulfilling
of
what
you
expect
;
there
is
righteous
and
mercifull
reason
,
for
your
retreating
,
from
such
an
opposition
and
engagement
.
To
have
faith
exercised
,
about
the
promises
of
God
,
to
be
fulfilled
in
these
latter
dayes
to
his
people
,
is
an
excellent
thing
;
whereby
God
will
have
glory
,
his
people
deliverance
,
and
the
whole
earth
peace
;
But
you
may
have
a
sight
of
this
at
a
distance
,
and
know
assuredly
,
you
shall
have
your
share
of
it
;
and
be
entertained
with
great
joy
concerning
it
,
have
strong
perswasions
about
it
:
and
yet
may
not
attain
it
,
in
that
state
of
enmity
,
and
opposition
in
which
you
stand
;
but
in
another
more
large
,
holy
and
spiritual
way
;
Or
the
whole
Church
may
enjoy
it
here
,
and
your
souls
for
ever
:
and
yet
your
bodies
may
fall
as
carkasses
in
the
wilderness
,
for
the
impurity
,
carnality
,
uncharitableness
,
frowardness
,
and
enmity
of
your
way
,
and
spirits
in
your
present
state
:
And
therefore
it
is
love
and
mercy
to
you
,
to
put
you
upon
a
thorough
tryal
and
examination
of
your
bottom
,
spirit
,
and
way
.
I
consider
not
now
your
particular
forms
of
Worship
,
which
are
various
,
and
opposite
one
to
another
;
Nor
your
private
and
personal
holiness
,
fear
of
God
,
conscience
of
his
commands
,
obedience
to
his
word
,
so
far
as
you
know
;
which
are
not
only
to
be
admitted
,
but
approved
and
encouraged
in
a
right
way
,
and
in
a
right
spirit
:
but
I
would
consider
,
the
way
,
actions
,
and
work
of
the
whole
body
,
in
this
publick
engagement
,
against
the
Government
of
the
Nation
:
and
your
private
forms
,
gifts
and
godliness
as
they
have
acted
,
and
still
continue
in
the
same
opposition
:
in
order
to
turn
your
minds
towards
that
,
which
else
is
like
to
ruine
your selves
and
families
.
If
this
great
affair
and
cause
,
in
which
you
have
acted
,
and
do
constantly
persist
in
,
be
the
right
,
and
that
you
are
the
people
,
yours
the
way
,
this
the
means
and
time
to
attain
the
glorious
things
expressed
in
the
Scripture
;
then
you
must
have
these
two
things
for
your
foundation
,
strength
and
rule
;
the
Word
and
the
Spirit
of
God
:
If
you
are
led
by
them
,
and
stand
in
them
,
you
will
certainly
prevail
:
if
not
,
you
will
fall
,
and
must
repent
.
We
may
consider
them
either
joyntly
or
severally
;
for
though
they
are
two
,
yet
they
are
one
also
,
and
never
separated
.
Let
us
consider
the
word
of
God
,
the
Scriptures
:
There
are
three
great
works
of
God
,
declared
in
it
:
The
deliverance
of
the
children
of
Israel
from
Aeypt
,
The
redeeming
of
them
out
of
Babylon
:
And
the
grace
and
salvation
revealed
in
the
Gospel
:
We
have
built
our
work
upon
all
these
,
and
do
think
that
our
cause
is
the
same
with
them
all
:
and
therefore
we
have
been
fed
continually
with
strength
which
we
got
,
as
we
could
,
from
them
all
:
But
whether
our
work
do
justly
&
evenly
square
to
any
of
them
is
the
question
:
I
am
fully
satisfied
in
my self
,
that
it
doth
not
:
And
that
you
,
if
you
will
be
ingenuous
,
and
in
any
measure
of
uprightness
,
examine
what
you
have
done
,
you
will
quickly
find
;
that
you
have
not
in
your
whole
business
come
near
your
foundation
,
and
pattern
:
I
shall
only
hint
some
few
things
to
you
,
as
they
do
occurr
,
and
leave
you
to
consider
the
rest
.
Only
by
the
way
,
be
perswaded
to
think
and
feel
,
that
you
are
but
men
,
and
may
err
:
many
may
err
:
many
good
men
may
err
:
actually
you
have
erred
:
though
you
be
much
better
then
others
,
yet
you
may
err
,
and
err
greatly
;
sometimes
the
best
people
err
most
;
Israel
sinned
beyond
all
the
Heathen
:
God
will
shame
and
humble
all
;
and
make
first
last
,
and
the
last
first
:
the
best
worst
,
and
worst
best
:
The
Jews
that
seek
,
shall
not
attain
:
the
Gentiles
that
sought
not
,
shall
attain
.
You
differ
one
from
another
,
and
so
must
err
one
against
another
:
you
have
all
sinned
and
come
short
of
the
glory
of
God
.
And
therefore
you
may
have
erred
,
as
to
this
business
,
fundamentally
,
and
either
not
know
your
bottom
,
or
be
upon
a
false
bottom
And
so
through
loss
and
missing
,
come
to
attain
a
true
&
right
bottom
.
If
once
you
be
but
willing
to
be
tried
,
you
will
quickly
see
much
.
SECT.
VII
.
COnsider
first
,
Whether
this
great
business
,
you
have
and
are
engaged
in
,
do
justly
and
evenly
square
to
the
first
foundation
,
Israels
deliverance
out
of
Aegypt
;
It
hath
been
so
believed
,
so
prayed
,
preached
,
and
praysed
but
not
so
done
;
For
1.
Israel
was
visited
by
God
;
he
came
expresly
to
Moses
,
spake
to
him
in
the
bush
;
when
he
had
:
called
him
,
he
sent
him
to
Israel
to
lead
them
forth
:
they
stirred
not
till
he
had
proved
his
commission
:
But
we
can
boast
of
no
such
visit
;
the
troubles
of
the
Nation
gave
us
opportunity
to
deliver
our selves
:
the
necessities
of
the
Parliament
made
us
usefull
,
whereby
we
got
power
,
and
so
by
degrees
broke
the
yoke
that
was
upon
us
.
2.
Isratl
had
a
King
and
High-Priest
given
of
God
,
to
be
their
Leader
and
Guide
:
he
was
also
himself
their
Leader
;
he
went
before
them
in
the
wilderness
,
in
a
pillar
of
cloud
by
day
,
and
of
fire
by
night
,
and
never
left
them
:
We
had
neither
King
nor
Priest
,
no
Guide
nor
Leader
,
but
left
to
shift
for
our selves
,
and
wander
from
one
thing
to
another
,
as
our
own
crooked
and
blind
reason
led
us
.
3.
They
had
Officers
sent
by
God
,
which
did
call
them
forth
,
and
then
continue
to
judge
them
,
and
God
maintained
his
own
,
and
their
authority
over
them
:
We
were
called
out
at
first
,
not
by
Officers
from
God
,
but
by
part
of
that
we
call
Egypt
,
or
the
world
;
by
the
Parliament
,
which
we
used
as
Egypt
,
or
Egyptians
,
or
worse
;
we
overthrew
them
and
their
authority
.
4.
Israel
had
a
Law
given
them
from
heaven
,
and
one
Tabernacle
built
for
all
,
according
to
the
pattern
,
in
the
Mount
of
God
:
We
never
had
a
Law
from
heaven
to
govern
us
,
but
were
left
to
the
Laws
and
Customs
of
Egypt
,
of
the
world
:
No
pattern
for
a
Tabernacle
,
but
every
one
built
according
to
his
own
mind
;
which
must
needs
make
division
,
and
so
bring
confusion
.
5.
God
destroyed
Egypt
with
his
Plagues
,
and
armies
of
Frogs
,
Lice
,
Flies
and
Locusts
;
but
we
our selves
were
these
Armies
,
that
eat
up
this
Egypt
:
we
were
the
Frogs
,
Lice
and
Locusts
,
that
vexed
the
Egyptians
.
6.
Israel
were
led
out
of
Egypt
,
into
a
Land
that
the
Lord
their
God
gave
them
:
We
could
never
get
out
of
Egypt
,
nor
had
we
any
Land
to
go
to
:
They
were
driven
out
of
Egypt
by
Pharaoh
and
the
Egyptians
;
we
drove
Pharaoh
and
the
Egyptians
out
of
Egypt
;
and
kept
Egypt
for
our selves
:
the
goodly
buildings
,
the
riches
,
honours
,
preferments
,
and
all
the
Laws
,
Ordinances
,
and
Customs
of
Egypt
;
and
could
do
no
other
wayes
:
for
we
had
no
Land
of
our
own
to
go
to
.
7.
Pharaoh
and
Egypt
first
tasked
and
oppressed
,
then
persued
Israel
:
We
had
got
the
way
,
of
tasking
and
oppressing
Egypt
,
and
then
persued
Pharaoh
into
the
Sea
,
and
beyond
the
Sea
.
Pharaoh
and
his
Charets
and
Horse-men
were
drowned
in
the
red
Sea
,
for
his
pursuing
Israel
:
And
now
our
Charets
and
Horse-men
,
are
drowned
in
a
kind
of
a
Sea
of
confusion
;
and
it
was
for
persuing
with
endless
and
implacable
enmity
.
Here
is
a
wide
difference
betwixt
us
and
our
foundation
;
and
as
wide
an
end
:
There
,
Israel
overcame
,
here
,
Egypt
overcomes
:
And
if
that
be
our
bottom
,
and
we
build
so
very
far
from
it
,
we
cannot
expect
a
better
end
.
Let
us
consider
the
second
ground
,
the
redeeming
of
Israel
out
of
Babylon
;
whether
we
have
been
truer
to
that
Copy
:
we
have
made
great
use
of
those
Scriptures
,
Prophesies
and
Promises
;
how
justly
,
must
be
examined
.
1.
First
Israel
did
not
destroy
their
enemies
;
Babylon
and
the
King
of
Babylon
was
destroyed
by
the
hands
of
the
Medes
and
Persians
,
under
the
command
of
Cyrus
a
heathen
Prince
,
but
anointed
for
that
purpose
:
But
we
have
destroyed
Babylon
our selves
;
and
therefore
have
hitherto
acted
but
the
part
of
Cyrus
;
the
part
of
Israel
is
yet
to
come
.
2.
In
the
deliverance
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt
,
God
visited
them
by
a
King
of
their
own
,
Moses
,
Who
was
King
in
Jesurun
:
In
this
deliverance
,
God
visited
them
in
the
Emperour
Cyrus
,
and
charged
him
to
build
his
house
:
And
the
Jews
moved
not
but
by
Proclamation
,
Command
,
and
Commission
from
the
Prince
.
When
a
succeeding
King
Artaxerxes
,
forbade
them
to
build
the
City
,
they
ceased
;
until
Darius
made
a
new
Decree
,
enlarged
their
Commission
,
and
contributed
to
the
work
:
Afterwards
another
Artaxerxes
was
stirred
up
,
to
give
command
for
the
carrying
on
the
same
work
,
and
supplying
of
all
the
wants
of
the
builders
:
We
had
no
such
authority
for
our
work
:
but
on
the
contrary
,
we
went
forth
upon
our
own
heads
,
at
our
own
pleasure
,
according
to
our
own
minds
:
without
any
authority
;
and
overthrew
the
Authority
of
the
Nation
,
because
they
would
not
joyn
with
us
.
3.
Israel
were
the
known
people
of
God
,
visibly
distinct
from
the
world
;
owned
to
be
so
:
Even
by
those
Princes
in
whose
Dominions
they
were
:
God
gave
them
honour
in
the
sight
of
the
heathen
,
where
they
were
carried
captive
:
We
have
no
such
visible
character
,
no
such
justification
;
but
assume
it
to
our selves
,
and
destroy
others
,
because
they
would
not
so
honour
us
.
4.
Israel
,
as
they
were
outwardly
and
visibly
the
people
of
God
,
so
they
were
the
known
heirs
of
that
Countrey
,
to
which
they
went
;
they
had
an
unquestioned
Civil
right
to
it
;
although
they
had
been
for
a
time
,
sequestred
from
it
for
their
sins
:
And
when
they
returned
home
,
they
recovered
but
what
they
lost
,
enjoyed
their
own
Temple
,
Priests
,
Tithes
,
Offerings
:
But
we
,
not
content
with
our
own
inheritance
,
usurp
other
mens
rights
:
Indeed
the
parallel
fits
the
other
side
much
better
:
who
have
been
for
their
sins
driven
out
,
and
now
return
to
their
inheritance
;
to
their
Law
,
Church
,
Temple
and
Worship
,
from
which
they
were
sequestred
and
driven
away
5.
When
God
brought
Israel
out
of
Babylon
,
he
instituted
the
same
Officers
,
Prince
and
Priest
,
that
he
did
,
when
he
brought
them
out
of
Egypt
:
For
Moses
and
Aaron
then
,
there
was
Zerubabel
and
Joshua
now
:
and
to
those
was
given
a
spirit
that
would
scatter
confusion
;
a
line
and
plumet
,
the
seven
eyes
,
the
fulness
of
the
Spirit
,
to
furnish
them
for
the
repairing
the
Temple
and
City
of
God
:
The
two
anointed
ones
,
that
stand
before
the
Lord
of
the
whole
earth
:
which
through
the
golden
pipes
,
empty
the
golden
oyl
out
of
themselves
.
And
therefore
it
was
then
,
not
by
might
nor
by
armies
,
but
by
my
Spirit
,
saith
the
Lord
:
But
alas
,
we
have
no
King
,
nor
Priest
,
no
anointing
to
scatter
confusion
,
but
confusion
scattered
us
:
Our
Motto
may
be
contrary
to
theirs
:
Not
by
Gods
Spirit
,
but
by
might
and
by
Armies
:
For
we
were
successful
in
nothing
else
,
but
in
force
and
arms
:
Therefore
if
the
Scripture
be
a
rule
to
measure
your
actions
,
you
must
confess
you
have
grosly
erred
,
and
walked
not
only
in
crooked
,
but
in
contrary
pathes
to
it
.
Consider
fairly
the
third
dispensation
of
God
to
his
people
,
the
grace
and
salvation
revealed
by
Christ
and
the
Spirit
in
the
Gospel
:
Gospel-Ordinances
,
Gospel-Saints
,
Gospel
Order
,
and
a
Gospel-Spirit
,
have
been
much
spoke
of
:
I
am
grieved
at
my
heart
for
you
,
to
think
that
any
men
should
be
so
grosly
deceived
,
or
deceive
themselves
,
as
to
perswade
themselves
,
that
such
works
as
you
have
done
,
and
such
a
way
as
you
are
engaged
in
,
should
have
any
countenance
or
authority
from
the
holy
and
pure
Gospel
of
of
the
Lamb
of
God
:
For
though
you
have
endeavoured
to
frame
your
outward
forms
of
Worship
,
according
to
the
outward
letter
of
the
Gospel
:
yet
you
have
denyed
and
opposed
both
the
Doctrine
and
Spirit
of
the
Lamb
and
his
Apostles
:
and
that
not
only
in
those
things
which
you
call
miscarriages
,
but
in
the
main
of
your
work
and
business
.
1.
First
Christ
begins
his
Ministrie
with
blessing
;
he
blessed
the
poor
in
Spirit
,
them
that
mourn
,
the
meek
,
the
merciful
,
the
peace-makers
,
the
persecuted
:
so
he
taught
,
so
he
practised
:
he
was
himself
a
Lamb
;
he
sent
his
Disciples
out
as
Sheep
among
Wolves
;
and
commanded
,
resist
not
evil
,
love
your
enemies
,
bless
them
that
curse
you
,
do
good
to
them
that
hate
you
,
pray
for
them
which
despitefully
use
you
,
and
persecute
you
,
that
you
may
be
the
children
of
your
Father
which
is
in
heaven
,
&c.
This
was
the
Law
of
his
whole
Life
and
Death
;
He
that
will
be
my
Disciple
,
must
deny
himself
,
and
take
up
his
Cross
,
and
follow
me
.
Alas
,
alas
,
how
can
you
look
into
this
glass
,
and
not
blush
to
see
the
deformities
of
your
whole
work
,
how
directly
contrary
yours
is
to
this
:
Instead
of
blessing
,
you
have
cursed
;
What
he
blessed
,
you
reject
;
the
meek
,
the
mourners
,
the
merciful
,
the
peace-makers
,
the
persecuted
;
you
begun
this
war
,
because
you
would
not
endure
persecution
:
Instead
of
not
resisting
evil
,
you
have
inflicted
evil
,
and
would
not
be
resisted
in
it
:
Instead
of
loving
enemies
,
you
have
hated
and
destroyed
them
:
Instead
of
blessing
them
,
you
curse
as
bitterly
as
you
can
:
Instead
of
bearing
persecution
,
you
persecute
:
Instead
of
denying
self
,
you
sight
for
self
:
Instead
of
taking
up
the
Cross
,
you
flie
to
force
to
avoid
it
,
and
load
others
with
it
,
make
others
bear
it
.
So
hath
the
blessed
God
set
things
,
that
they
that
are
not
with
him
,
are
against
him
:
And
they
who
refuse
to
bear
the
Cross
,
must
become
Crucifiers
of
others
:
All
men
that
will
not
endure
persecution
,
they
will
persecute
;
they
that
cannot
or
will
not
be
killed
,
will
kill
.
So
have
you
done
,
and
therefore
been
enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
;
and
so
enemies
to
Christ
himself
;
for
he
is
crucified
in
all
crucifying
:
And
they
that
hate
the
flesh
of
the
whore
,
and
burn
her
with
fire
,
they
make
war
with
the
Lamb
also
,
Rev.
16.14
.
So
have
you
made
war
with
the
Lamb
,
with
his
doctrine
,
nature
,
life
and
death
2.
Christ
our
Lord
,
humbled
himself
,
and
became
a
servant
to
others
;
you
have
exalted
your selves
,
as
far
as
you
could
,
into
all
kinds
of
places
of
honour
:
He
became
poor
,
that
he
might
make
others
rich
:
you
have
made
others
poor
,
that
you
may
be
rich
:
He
suffered
the
errors
and
contradictions
of
sinners
;
but
sinners
(
those
that
you
have
judged
sinners
)
have
suffered
your
contradictions
,
in
your
several
Oathes
and
Impositions
:
He
bore
the
infirmities
and
diseases
of
the
whole
Nation
;
the
whole
Nation
have
born
your
infirmities
and
diseases
,
your
blindness
,
haltings
and
staggerings
:
He
bore
the
sins
and
curse
of
the
people
;
The
poor
people
have
born
yours
,
both
sin
and
curse
:
He
died
,
that
others
might
live
;
You
kill
others
,
that
you
may
live
your selves
:
He
suffered
,
the
just
for
the
unjust
;
but
others
have
suffered
from
you
,
because
they
resisted
your
unjust
power
and
will
:
I
believe
you
have
been
misled
by
an
evil
spirit
;
and
therefore
I
pitty
you
:
Alas
,
you
have
walked
in
darkness
,
and
not
known
whether
you
have
gone
.
You
did
not
think
your
way
and
work
had
been
so
contrary
to
the
way
of
Christ
:
you
found
it
weak
and
short
;
but
now
you
will
see
,
that
it
is
in
the
whole
,
from
the
rise
of
it
,
to
the
end
of
it
,
contrary
to
the
nature
and
spirit
of
the
Lamb
,
and
to
his
Law
and
Doctrine
.
3.
Christ
in
the
Gospel
,
brought
forth
a
new
Creation
,
a
new
and
Spiritual
Kingdom
,
a
new
Law
,
new
Ordinances
,
new
Ministers
,
new
Worship
:
And
this
,
not
in
opposition
to
,
nor
to
the
destruction
or
disturbance
of
,
any
authority
,
either
of
the
Jews
or
Gentiles
;
but
he
taught
and
practised
obedience
to
both
:
But
you
have
only
disturbed
and
destroyed
,
what
you
could
,
of
the
Government
of
the
Nation
;
but
have
brought
forth
no
better
,
no
new
Kingdom
,
or
new
Law
for
the
people
:
and
what
forms
of
worship
you
have
made
for
your selves
,
and
several
Parties
,
are
but
some
broken
pieces
of
the
letter
,
of
the
old
Apostolical
frame
,
set
up
in
another
spirit
.
Let
us
compare
your
work
and
way
with
the
Spirit
,
and
his
holy
and
pure
Ministrie
:
He
came
from
Heaven
,
himself
,
cloathed
with
an
outward
and
visible
appearance
,
in
great
Majestie
and
Power
,
openly
manifesting
himself
to
all
Nations
,
in
mighty
signs
and
wonders
,
that
were
his
own
and
not
anothers
:
He
did
truly
glorifie
Christ
,
and
set
him
up
above
his
enemies
,
making
them
know
that
Jesus
was
the
Son
of
God
,
and
that
the
Kingdom
of
God
was
with
men
:
And
this
to
the
face
and
in
the
consciences
of
all
the
powers
of
the
earth
:
He
formed
and
built
a
Church
upon
the
rock
,
from
the
heavenly
pattern
:
He
came
from
heaven
,
and
carried
the
Saints
into
heaven
,
and
made
them
sit
down
together
with
Christ
,
in
the
heavenly
:
He
led
them
into
the
holiest
,
and
brought
them
to
Mount
Zion
indeed
,
the
City
of
the
living
God
,
the
heavenly
Jerusalem
,
and
to
an
innumerable
company
of
Angels
,
to
the
general
Assembly
,
&c.
Have
you
had
the
substance
and
truth
of
any
of
these
things
with
you
?
You
have
been
able
to
talk
of
them
to
notion
,
fancy
,
or
prophesie
something
of
them
,
which
others
could
not
:
But
had
you
had
this
heavenly
glory
,
you
needed
not
your
earthly
Armies
,
nor
worldly
Polities
,
nor
the
help
of
profane
and
loose
people
and
practices
to
save
you
.
The
Spirit
had
his
own
manifestation
,
his
union
,
his
own
tongues
,
interpretation
of
tongues
,
his
own
signs
and
miracles
,
his
own
power
and
glory
,
pure
,
holy
and
clear
;
his
own
anointing
was
sufficient
to
lead
into
all
truth
:
But
instead
of
manifesting
,
you
have
by
your
wayes
extreamly
darkened
others
,
your selves
,
and
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
Religion
which
you
professed
:
Instead
of
tongues
,
and
interpretation
to
others
,
you
were
in
such
confusion
,
that
you
could
not
your selves
understand
one
another
:
you
pretended
to
signal
mercies
and
successes
;
but
they
are
not
spiritual
,
but
such
as
are
common
to
others
:
so
is
victory
in
battle
:
Instead
of
being
led
into
all
truth
,
alas
you
were
led
into
all
kinds
of
contradictions
,
and
into
many
erroneous
wayes
,
which
proved
to
be
lyes
and
delusions
to
you
.
And
therefore
you
must
not
any
longer
boast
of
the
Spirit
of
God
:
You
cannot
shew
that
he
is
descended
upon
you
,
or
that
he
hath
led
you
,
as
he
did
the
Apostles
,
into
a
heavenly
state
:
You
are
still
in
the
world
,
in
the
gross
uncleanness
of
the
world
,
in
the
wrath
,
malice
,
destruction
,
pride
,
covetousness
,
deceit
of
the
world
.
You
are
,
and
have
been
,
under
the
Ministrie
or
Judgement
of
the
Spirit
:
In
his
giving
you
up
to
corruption
,
that
you
may
be
manifest
to
be
but
men
,
and
not
born
from
on
high
:
In
blowing
upon
and
infatuating
your
Counsels
;
In
scattering
and
dividing
your
spirits
:
In
rejecting
your
work
and
way
,
as
not
his
own
,
as
abominable
to
his
purity
,
goodness
,
truth
and
righteousness
:
In
judging
of
you
in
the
sight
of
all
the
world
,
for
abusing
his
name
:
and
in
kindling
a
sire
upon
all
your
riches
,
honours
,
and
works
;
a
fire
of
jealousie
that
burns
like
an
Oven
;
which
will
purifie
you
:
And
therefore
you
are
in
this
day
,
nearer
to
the
Spirit
of
God
,
then
you
were
from
the
first
day
you
engaged
.
Consider
now
what
ground
you
stand
upon
,
in
your
present
opposition
to
this
Power
and
Providence
:
You
cannot
stand
up
with
Moses
and
Aaron
,
in
their
Office
:
for
you
have
not
led
us
out
of
Egypt
into
Canaan
;
but
have
been
intangled
and
fettered
in
Egyptian
darkness
:
Nor
can
you
stand
up
with
Joshua
and
Zerubbabel
;
they
scattered
confusion
,
and
brought
Israel
out
of
Babel
:
you
have
led
us
and
your selves
into
a
Babel
of
confusion
:
Nor
can
you
stand
before
the
son
of
man
and
his
Spirit
;
alas
,
you
are
faln
before
him
,
judged
and
rejected
by
him
for
ever
;
never
to
he
restored
in
that
vile
and
abominable
way
,
in
which
you
stood
and
still
are
.
I
desire
you
to
remember
what
is
my
intent
in
this
present
discourse
;
it
is
to
undeceive
you
,
and
to
bring
you
off
from
those
unsound
principles
,
in
which
you
are
engaged
,
and
in
which
you
will
ruine
,
if
you
be
not
delivered
out
of
them
:
And
to
shew
you
good
reason
for
inviting
you
,
as
I
did
in
my
Book
,
to
offer
up
your
Principles
to
a
fair
tryal
,
in
order
to
satisfie
his
Majestie
,
and
reconcile
you
to
his
Government
:
And
if
you
consider
what
I
have
said
here
,
it
will
be
found
no
wicked
design
,
but
righteous
and
merciful
Counsel
,
both
to
your selves
and
to
the
Nation
.
SECT.
VII
.
BEsides
the
three
former
great
dispensations
in
Scripture
,
which
you
have
seemed
to
make
the
bottom
of
your
Cause
and
Way
:
There
is
one
thing
more
,
which
sometimes
you
have
glanced
at
with
your
eye
,
as
a
rule
to
you
;
and
that
is
the
Prophetical
Scriptures
,
yet
unfulfilled
,
and
especially
the
Revelations
:
You
have
sometimes
harped
at
them
,
and
catched
hold
of
some
broken
pieces
of
them
:
But
you
never
could
attain
such
a
knowledge
of
them
,
as
to
make
them
either
a
founda●ion
or
rule
:
I
do
believe
,
and
know
,
that
the
Revelation
is
a
line
,
drawn
from
Christ
his
first
appearing
,
quite
through
that
state
,
unto
his
second
appearing
,
and
leads
the
Church
both
into
her
suffering
and
captivity
;
and
out
of
it
into
glory
:
And
therefore
doth
discover
the
state
of
the
Gospel-Church
,
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
:
from
Christ
his
Ministrie
to
the
glorious
and
eternal
Kingdom
of
God
:
And
so
all
the
works
of
God
,
in
these
times
,
both
in
Churches
and
Nations
,
come
under
the
Law
or
Line
of
that
Book
.
And
therefore
those
revelations
rightly
opened
▪
will
extricate
the
Church
,
from
her
Babylonish
enemy
confusion
,
and
enable
her
to
build
up
her self
again
in
glory
,
peace
,
light
,
and
love
:
That
line
will
also
measure
the
late
revolutions
in
this
Nation
.
For
I
am
fully
satisfied
that
so
considerable
a
work
as
this
hath
been
,
in
and
about
both
Church
and
Kingdom
,
was
certainly
in
the
Council
of
God
,
and
also
expressed
in
his
word
.
But
this
much
I
know
,
that
you
have
been
as
ignorant
of
that
book
,
as
you
have
been
of
your
own
work
;
and
that
you
have
not
had
,
nor
yet
have
a
reed
to
measure
,
either
the
one
or
the
other
by
:
neither
can
you
rationally
six
your
work
upon
any
one
part
of
that
book
:
Nor
have
you
had
light
to
make
that
,
or
any
part
of
it
,
or
of
any
Scripture
,
a
Law
to
you
in
your
work
:
but
have
been
driven
on
by
snatches
,
without
any
rule
or
judgement
,
or
any
dependence
of
one
thing
upon
another
.
Which
is
not
the
understanding
of
a
Man
or
Christian
:
but
in
plain
terms
,
it
is
the
beast
:
Being
led
and
leading
by
impulses
,
or
by
present
sensible
,
and
occasional
things
,
and
not
by
any
certain
rule
.
If
the
beast
and
his
mark
▪
image
and
name
,
be
not
yet
overcome
in
your
spirits
,
as
certainly
he
is
not
,
then
though
you
had
power
and
a
kingdom
,
it
was
but
with
the
beast
,
and
but
one
hour
.
What
that
means
,
read
and
you
may
understand
.
Having
faln
upon
the
Prophesies
and
Revelations
,
which
are
the
only
written
rule
of
the
dispensations
of
God
to
his
Church
and
people
in
these
dayes
,
for
your
better
instruction
hereafter
,
know
these
three
things
:
1.
It
is
not
wise
or
sa●e
,
to
appear
in
any
publick
business
,
before
you
understand
clearly
,
by
the
unsealing
of
that
book
,
where
you
are
,
what
you
are
to
do
,
whether
you
are
to
go
,
and
what
will
be
the
end
.
For
if
that
be
the
only
declaration
of
Gods
mind
,
concerning
the
government
of
his
Church
and
Kingdom
,
in
these
latter
ages
,
we
are
not
to
stir
,
either
upon
guesses
,
presumptions
,
or
broken
hin●s
:
nor
to
be
moved
by
a
crowd
,
a
noise
,
a
multitude
which
are
uncertain
and
deceitful
things
,
and
will
fail
any
people
that
follow
them
,
but
upon
clear
knowledge
of
that
only
rule
.
2.
That
ignorance
of
a
rule
to
act
by
,
and
forwardness
to
attempt
without
a
rule
,
in
such
great
and
weighty
matters
,
do
declare
that
there
is
yet
an
enemy
among
you
;
the
Prince
of
darkness
,
which
hinders
you
from
seeing
your
rule
:
And
also
much
fleshly
,
unmortified
worldly
matter
,
that
dares
move
,
without
the
knowledge
of
that
rule
:
And
where
these
two
are
;
an
enemy
that
blinds
,
and
a
bold
impatient
,
unmortified
mind
,
to
follow
him
blindly
,
no
wonder
if
both
fall
into
the
ditch
.
3.
You
are
,
and
have
been
fulfilling
some
part
of
that
book
,
it
is
no
question
;
if
you
know
not
what
part
of
it
;
it
is
but
reasonable
that
you
should
fear
,
that
it
is
an
evil
part
:
you
little
think
how
bad
it
is
:
Where
there
darkness
,
there
is
also
a
lye
:
Therefore
seeing
you
know
not
,
nor
can
say
what
it
is
,
I
may
say
it
is
far
worse
then
you
imagine
:
you
shall
know
more
hereafter
,
if
God
please
.
We
have
tried
your
state
,
work
and
spirit
:
First
by
the
Law
of
Moses
and
his
Ministrie
:
Secondly
,
by
the
Prophets
,
and
the
deliverance
of
Israel
out
of
Babylon
:
Thirdly
,
by
the
Gospel
,
and
the
Ministrie
of
Christ
and
the
Apostles
.
Fourthly
,
by
the
Prophetical
Scriptures
,
to
be
fulfilled
since
Christ
and
the
Apostles
:
and
do
find
that
neither
of
all
these
are
your
foundation
;
because
you
have
not
kept
to
them
,
nor
made
them
your
rule
:
Before
we
give
a
final
judgement
,
I
shall
shew
you
the
thing
it self
,
that
you
have
professed
and
pretended
to
;
that
Zion
,
and
that
Jerusalem
,
which
hath
been
so
much
talked
of
:
I
will
a
little
unvail
her
to
you
,
as
she
is
with
me
,
and
stands
before
me
,
and
at
this
time
going
out
of
Babylon
.
1.
She
is
an
holy
Nation
,
City
or
Kingdom
:
Holy
and
righteous
,
not
by
gifts
,
notion
,
purpose
and
prophecying
;
but
by
nature
,
and
in
the
matter
and
substance
of
her
being
:
being
one
with
the
Lamb
,
and
so
in
her
nature
patient
,
innocent
,
meek
:
She
is
from
heaven
;
Jerusalem
that
is
from
above
;
comes
from
God
out
of
heaven
,
and
is
of
the
same
nature
with
him
;
and
therefore
hath
his
name
written
upon
her
;
which
she
could
not
justly
wear
,
if
she
have
not
his
nature
likewise
.
2.
She
is
an
holy
City
or
Nation
,
built
and
formed
according
to
the
eternal
Law
or
mind
of
God
,
in
most
excellent
union
,
beauty
and
order
:
and
not
a
confused
heap
of
prophane
and
filthy
matter
:
She
hath
both
Magistracy
and
Ministry
in
equal
and
proportionable
parts
,
all
in
order
:
She
is
built
both
according
to
the
Law
and
Gospel
,
and
hath
the
beauty
of
both
,
and
sings
the
song
of
Moses
and
the
Lamb
,
in
excellent
harmony
.
3.
In
this
state
,
she
is
joyned
to
the
Lord
,
her
head
,
in
immediate
conjunction
and
union
:
And
the
Lamb
is
with
her
,
dwells
in
her
:
she
is
the
Mountain
of
God
,
or
the
City
of
the
living
God
.
4.
She
is
washed
,
cleansed
,
enlightened
,
and
filled
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
whereby
she
is
established
,
strengthened
,
guided
and
kept
,
in
even
and
straight
pathes
;
she
is
adorned
and
beautified
with
righteousness
,
wisdom
,
peace
,
honour
and
salvation
▪
and
therefore
when
she
appears
,
she
will
be
a
praise
in
the
earth
.
5.
She
is
in
all
things
ordered
and
ruled
,
by
the
pure
and
perfect
Law
and
Word
of
God
,
whereby
she
walks
steadily
,
surely
,
justly
,
to
God
,
to
men
,
and
to
all
creatures
.
These
things
,
in
word
and
notion
,
are
not
strange
to
you
!
that
Zion
is
a
Body
,
a
Nation
,
a
holy
People
,
united
and
compact
according
to
the
heavenly
pattern
,
joyned
unto
God
,
sanctified
,
established
and
adorned
by
the
Spirit
,
ruled
by
the
eternal
Word
.
Then
consider
and
compare
your
state
with
this
Zion
:
where
is
this
body
,
this
holy
matter
?
or
when
was
this
body
formed
?
was
it
in
the
Parliament
?
at
what
time
?
though
you
sifted
and
purged
it
,
yet
it
was
mixed
,
unclean
and
corrupt
;
and
afterward
rejected
as
chaff
.
Or
was
the
Army
this
holy
body
,
with
all
that
vile
and
filthy
rabble
?
If
this
was
the
body
,
how
came
it
to
be
such
an
offence
to
you
?
why
did
it
at
last
cast
you
off
,
and
betray
you
and
your
cause
?
Or
is
it
all
the
godly
people
?
why
then
are
you
not
drawn
out
,
united
,
built
into
a
holy
Nation
,
or
City
by
your selves
?
Zion
and
no
Union
,
Consistencie
or
Order
?
No
Magistrates
nor
publick
Ministers
?
Can
you
say
when
,
in
which
of
the
ten
powers
,
that
you
set
up
in
twelve
years
,
you
were
formed
by
the
Spirit
,
or
Word
of
God
?
which
state
,
Oath
,
Protestation
,
Covenant
or
Engagement
was
made
by
the
Word
of
God
?
If
all
,
then
you
were
led
into
contradictions
,
if
any
one
,
why
did
not
that
one
judge
and
condemn
all
the
rest
?
and
why
doth
it
not
still
stand
and
defend
it self
and
you
?
It
grieves
my
soul
to
think
,
that
you
should
be
so
drunk
with
the
wine
of
your
own
gifts
and
success
,
as
to
need
such
sensible
demonstrations
,
to
convince
you
,
of
the
evil
of
your
state
.
We
have
briefly
shewed
you
the
beauty
of
Zion
:
I
can
give
you
a
view
of
your
own
state
,
possibly
you
have
not
observed
it
,
as
I
have
done
:
now
you
have
time
and
opportunity
to
think
seriously
of
it
:
It
is
this
.
You
are
a
confused
heap
,
raised
from
the
earth
,
by
the
tumults
and
commotions
of
the
people
,
being
impatient
of
suffering
,
and
full
of
consultations
for
self-ease
,
self-safety
and
advantage
;
actuated
and
stirred
by
the
Providence
of
God
,
who
can
make
use
of
all
creatures
,
natures
,
and
dispositions
:
And
sanctified
by
,
and
furnished
with
a
spirit
and
gifts
,
fit
to
execute
his
displeasure
upon
the
Nation
for
their
sins
:
Finding
success
beyond
your
expectations
,
you
grew
into
high
opinions
and
conceits
of
your selves
;
overthrew
the
Government
of
the
Nation
;
break
all
Oathes
and
Bonds
;
prey
upon
the
wealth
of
the
Nation
;
enrich
and
exalt
your selves
,
under
a
name
and
profession
of
Godliness
;
for
which
you
are
rejected
into
misery
and
shame
.
I
do
feel
what
effect
this
may
have
upon
your
minds
;
some
will
think
it
very
hard
and
severe
;
so
think
all
children
when
they
are
beaten
:
Others
will
rage
and
gnash
their
tee●h
,
yet
it
must
be
born
:
Others
will
say
,
this
is
true
,
but
why
should
it
be
published
to
all
the
world
?
I
would
avoid
it
,
if
it
were
possible
:
but
it
cannot
be
otherwise
:
how
can
one
write
to
a
people
,
but
all
may
read
that
will
?
But
alas
,
I
see
it
is
most
righteous
and
just
,
that
you
should
bear
shame
;
for
you
have
put
the
Lord
to
open
shame
;
and
your
iniquities
and
abominations
are
discovered
,
in
the
sight
of
all
the
Nations
:
they
cannot
be
hid
;
and
publick
sins
must
have
publick
shame
,
publick
confession
and
repentance
,
Eze.
16.52
.
Thou
that
hast
judged
thy
sisters
,
Samaria
and
Sodom
,
bear
thy
own
shame
for
thy
sins
,
that
thou
hast
committed
,
more
abominable
then
they
:
they
are
more
righteous
then
thou
;
yea
be
thou
confounded
also
,
and
bear
thy
shame
,
in
that
thou
hast
justified
thy
sisters
:
And
know
for
certain
,
that
till
you
are
ashamed
and
confounded
for
your
abominations
,
you
never
can
,
never
shall
,
know
a
better
state
:
But
when
you
see
God
pacified
towards
you
,
it
will
make
you
to
remember
,
to
be
confounded
,
and
never
more
to
open
thy
mouth
;
And
then
will
he
lead
you
into
a
better
state
.
Therefore
know
this
,
I
do
not
charge
all
this
upon
some
eminent
persons
of
the
Party
,
as
some
do
;
nor
upon
the
persons
of
the
whole
Party
,
as
most
do
:
My
soul
pitties
you
;
I
know
you
have
a
sore
and
grievous
burden
upon
you
;
and
your
personal
sins
are
punished
with
personal
judgements
:
I
do
both
pitty
and
forgive
you
,
and
if
I
could
prevent
it
,
I
would
:
It
was
the
intent
of
the
other
Book
,
and
is
the
intent
of
this
,
to
take
you
off
from
your
state
,
and
spirit
of
opposition
to
the
power
of
the
Nation
,
from
which
you
have
,
do
,
and
will
suffer
,
so
long
as
you
persist
in
it
.
The
judgement
I
pass
,
is
upon
the
state
in
which
you
stand
,
and
the
spirit
by
which
you
are
acted
:
This
state
which
I
have
discoursed
to
you
,
it
is
not
Zion
,
but
Babylon
:
Her
filthiness
is
discovered
,
in
the
sight
of
all
the
world
,
and
can
no
longer
be
hid
:
In
one
hour
is
her
judgement
come
:
Great
is
the
Lord
that
judgeth
her
:
Righteous
and
true
are
his
Judgements
,
and
they
are
made
manifest
:
God
hath
openly
shewed
,
what
was
in
you
;
it
is
seen
,
known
,
and
felt
,
that
it
is
Babel
,
confusion
;
Therefore
is
the
name
of
it
called
Babel
,
because
the
Lord
did
there
confound
the
language
of
all
the
earth
:
and
from
thence
did
the
Lord
scatter
them
abroad
upon
the
face
of
all
the
earth
,
Gen.
11.9
.
Shall
I
need
to
apply
it
to
you
?
Do
you
not
remember
,
how
much
your
language
was
confounded
?
And
do
you
not
now
feel
,
how
much
you
are
scattered
?
Doth
it
need
to
be
said
,
This
is
Babel
?
As
to
your
persons
,
gifts
and
graces
,
I
do
admit
them
to
be
the
Lords
,
and
to
belong
to
Zion
:
But
it
is
Zion
that
dwells
with
the
daughter
of
Babylon
:
Therefore
I
do
write
this
,
to
call
you
forth
of
Babylon
:
Come
out
of
her
my
people
,
and
be
not
partakers
of
her
sins
,
that
ye
receive
not
of
her
plagues
:
Sword
,
war
,
blood
,
killing
,
persecuting
,
wrath
,
cursing
and
destroying
are
her
sins
,
and
must
be
her
plagues
:
Neither
you
,
not
any
men
,
can
live
in
them
;
but
they
will
perish
,
by
them
:
No
man
,
or
men
,
can
act
in
them
,
but
they
must
suffer
them
:
It
is
the
righteous
jugdement
of
God
against
the
beast
,
and
for
the
Lamb
:
he
that
takes
the
sword
,
shall
perish
by
the
sword
;
and
the
meek
suffering
Lamb
only
shall
reign
:
If
you
had
again
,
or
could
recover
,
all
the
power
and
force
you
had
,
and
an
hundred
times
more
,
you
could
hold
it
but
one
hour
with
the
beast
:
And
in
one
hour
would
you
be
made
as
desolate
as
you
have
been
:
You
neither
could
,
nor
can
resist
it
:
For
strong
is
the
Lord
that
judgeth
:
For
he
that
hath
sworn
,
he
will
bring
down
them
that
exalt
themselves
,
be
they
never
so
mighty
:
and
raise
up
the
lowly
,
the
meek
,
the
Lamb
,
who
only
trusteth
in
him
,
and
shall
be
saved
by
him
.
If
you
could
not
resist
this
Judgement
,
when
you
were
great
and
strong
,
why
should
you
not
be
wise
now
,
and
cease
from
that
state
,
and
those
wayes
,
which
lead
you
upon
sensible
ruine
?
For
what
more
certain
destruction
can
there
be
,
then
for
a
naked
people
to
dash
themselves
against
a
rock
of
power
and
authority
,
that
is
rooted
and
grounded
in
the
Laws
and
minds
of
the
Nation
,
and
now
after
proof
and
trial
,
rises
up
strongly
against
all
its
enemies
?
You
are
as
to
your
persons
,
part
of
the
Israel
of
God
,
I
do
most
freely
grant
it
to
you
:
But
as
yet
,
but
Israel
after
the
flesh
,
and
no
more
:
And
God
hath
used
you
,
and
the
fire
of
your
fleshly
Zeal
,
(
Rev.
17.16
,
17.
)
to
hate
the
whore
,
make
her
desolate
,
and
naked
,
and
to
eat
her
flesh
;
The
war
hath
been
of
fleshly
knowledge
,
fleshly
forms
,
and
fleshly
wisdom
,
by
fleshly
power
,
policy
and
arms
,
against
outward
and
fleshly
corruptions
:
which
God
hath
put
into
your
hearts
,
until
the
words
of
God
should
be
fulfilled
:
And
during
this
Ministry
,
you
pleaded
the
cause
of
Zion
,
and
had
the
name
,
title
,
and
success
for
that
work
:
But
those
words
are
fulfilled
:
And
then
there
appeared
in
this
fleshly
Israel
and
fleshly
work
,
a
spiritual
Antichrist
,
which
your
own
mouthes
have
acknowledged
:
and
a
spiritual
Sodom
,
Egypt
and
Babylon
;
which
your
works
have
manifested
.
Sodoms
pride
,
idleness
,
and
fulness
of
bread
:
Egypts
falshood
,
cunning
and
cruelty
:
Babylons
loftiness
,
glorying
,
and
self-exaltation
:
Where
our
Lord
also
was
crucified
:
As
well
as
the
flesh
of
the
whore
desolated
.
It
is
this
spiritual
Antichrist
,
this
adulterated
wine
,
or
wine
of
fornication
,
in
and
with
your
fleshly
gifts
,
and
fleshly
success
,
that
bewitches
your
minds
,
abuses
your
understandings
,
and
enrages
your
spirits
,
into
a
foolish
confidence
,
and
presumptuous
opposition
to
the
power
of
the
Nation
,
to
your
apparent
ruine
:
My
endeavour
is
to
redeem
your
understandings
,
from
those
vain
and
rejected
confidences
,
and
to
recover
your
minds
and
reasons
into
a
sober
consideration
of
your selves
,
and
of
your
condition
:
that
you
may
not
desperately
throw
away
your
lives
and
liberties
,
in
a
heady
,
drunken
and
rash
zeal
.
Friends
,
I
do
earnestly
desire
you
seriously
to
consider
,
if
you
can
,
or
if
your
high
conceits
of
your selves
,
your
principles
and
cause
,
will
admit
of
reason
and
consideration
:
Then
consider
,
what
is
there
in
your
present
state
,
which
now
lies
under
so
great
conviction
in
your
consciences
,
and
so
great
condemnation
from
men
:
that
should
make
you
disdain
,
either
a
reproof
,
or
a
proposal
,
of
trying
your
principles
at
a
bar
of
Religion
and
Reason
,
before
the
wisest
,
justest
,
largest
,
and
soberest
men
,
in
the
Church
and
Nation
:
For
that
was
the
intent
of
that
Book
,
that
you
so
fiercely
and
bitterly
condemn
:
It
was
humbly
desired
,
that
the
persons
to
be
tried
,
together
with
their
principles
,
might
not
be
judged
,
at
least
not
finally
,
by
the
Common
Law
,
but
might
have
a
Chancery
:
And
why
should
you
not
now
be
reconciled
to
it
,
and
seek
it
?
what
should
hinder
you
from
petitioning
it
,
as
a
singular
mercy
?
To
the
utmost
of
my
understanding
,
it
might
be
,
not
only
a
means
of
saving
your selves
,
but
,
a
blessing
to
the
Nation
:
I
am
very
confident
that
you
,
and
all
men
,
after
you
have
wearied
and
spent
your selves
,
your
peace
and
comfort
,
in
these
unnatural
and
brutish
violences
,
will
be
glad
to
hearken
to
a
brotherly
and
friendly
debate
of
things
:
When
that
pride
,
that
makes
men
scorn
all
mens
Reason
and
Religion
,
but
their
own
,
is
brought
down
:
For
he
that
knows
any
thing
of
the
general
and
large
love
of
God
,
and
of
Jesus
to
all
men
,
must
conclude
;
that
that
pride
,
will
as
certainly
be
ruined
and
ruine
it self
,
as
he
knows
God
is
just
or
mercifull
.
SECT.
IX
.
I
Intended
not
to
prosecute
this
point
of
accommodating
the
present
distance
and
opposition
that
is
betwixt
you
,
and
this
Government
of
the
Church
and
Nation
:
But
being
unexpectedly
faln
upon
it
,
and
engaged
in
it
;
and
it
being
the
end
of
my
first
Book
,
and
the
constant
frame
of
my
mind
,
to
seek
peace
by
a
right
understanding
:
And
there
being
still
great
need
of
it
,
in
respect
of
the
great
numbers
that
do
suffer
;
and
possibly
a
better
opportunity
for
it
,
satisfaction
being
taken
,
to
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
&
justice
of
the
Nation
,
upon
them
that
have
suffered
:
The
same
love
to
you
,
that
led
me
at
first
to
propound
it
,
continues
still
in
me
,
and
leads
me
now
to
prosecute
it
.
The
enmity
is
strong
and
great
,
confirmed
by
a
long
and
cruel
war
;
heightened
and
inflamed
by
many
wrongs
and
injuries
:
It
is
a
fire
that
hath
and
doth
burn
fiercely
in
the
minds
of
men
:
It
is
now
upon
you
,
if
it
be
not
quenched
,
it
doth
and
will
utterly
destroy
you
,
and
all
that
cannot
yield
to
the
present
Government
of
the
Church
,
except
a
new
war
relieve
you
:
And
both
you
,
and
the
whole
Nation
,
have
found
by
woful
experience
,
that
war
is
no
friend
,
but
an
enemy
to
all
Civil
and
Religious
blessings
:
And
that
fighting
may
destroy
both
the
good
and
the
evil
without
Judgement
,
but
save
nothing
:
I
hope
it
is
and
will
be
the
mind
of
all
sober
Christians
,
and
Englishmen
,
that
consider
the
effects
of
our
late
wars
,
rather
to
suffer
in
their
own
particulars
,
then
to
raise
a
new
war
,
whereby
the
whole
Nation
must
suffer
,
thousands
be
slain
;
and
at
last
they
that
raised
it
,
will
be
far
worse
then
they
were
when
they
begun
:
That
Law
and
Sentence
that
came
out
of
Christs
lips
first
,
and
was
afterward
confirmed
by
the
Spirit
,
in
the
Revelations
,
as
a
divine
Law
to
all
ages
,
is
;
He
that
taketh
up
the
sword
,
shall
perish
by
the
sword
:
And
therefore
wo
be
to
that
Party
or
Person
,
that
makes
war
and
division
his
hope
:
that
longs
to
see
the
Kingdom
in
a
flame
,
that
he
may
warm
himself
at
the
fire
:
Or
would
have
the
whole
ruined
and
Shipwracked
,
that
he
might
have
a
share
of
the
pillage
.
You
have
had
the
sword
,
and
could
not
keep
it
,
it
is
turned
now
against
you
,
and
the
strength
of
the
Nation
also
,
all
highly
provoked
by
your
evil
dealings
with
them
:
And
yet
you
are
the
sharpest
enemies
to
the
Propositions
of
Peace
:
I
know
no
good
reason
,
why
you
should
be
so
:
A
good
friend
of
yours
and
mine
,
hath
said
again
and
again
,
One
side
must
yield
;
why
should
not
we
first
lie
down
and
submit
?
We
that
profess
most
knowledge
of
the
Gospel
,
and
are
most
conversant
with
Scriptures
,
should
be
most
inclined
to
meekness
and
peace
;
there
is
sure
some
notable
evil
spirit
gotten
in
,
that
makes
the
most
gifted
,
the
most
quarrelsome
.
I
am
bound
to
examine
what
it
is
,
that
upholds
this
state
and
spirit
of
opposition
in
your
minds
:
In
order
to
peace
,
I
must
pursue
this
enemy
;
and
if
I
can
beat
him
out
of
all
his
holds
,
therefore
bear
with
me
;
it
is
the
enemy
I
pursue
,
not
you
:
if
he
have
gotten
possession
of
your
minds
,
gifts
,
and
cause
,
he
will
destroy
you
and
them
:
For
I
constantly
find
,
that
he
is
worse
to
the
subject
,
then
the
object
;
he
doth
more
mischief
much
,
to
him
in
whom
he
lives
,
them
to
him
whom
he
kills
:
And
he
that
acts
wrath
,
must
needs
be
worse
then
he
that
suffers
it
:
For
he
that
acts
it
,
is
the
servant
and
subject
of
that
enemy
,
or
enmity
,
but
th●
patient
,
by
suffering
from
it
,
is
removed
from
it
,
into
the
contrary
state
,
the
Lamb
;
therefore
enmity
,
when
it
gets
into
an
active
,
knowing
,
zealous
people
,
it
is
dangerously
seated
:
If
it
be
by
war
,
success
,
and
advantage
,
gotten
into
your
hearts
,
affections
and
spirits
;
though
I
do
some
violence
to
all
these
,
to
remove
him
:
if
I
be
not
judged
a
friend
,
I
am
sure
I
am
so
.
For
none
but
a
friend
,
will
pursue
enmity
it self
,
and
my
war
is
with
enmity
it self
,
and
my
endeavour
is
to
destroy
it
.
Let
us
therefore
consider
,
what
it
is
that
engages
your
minds
so
stiffly
,
in
an
opposition
to
,
and
hatred
of
the
present
authority
of
the
Nation
.
It
is
some
Spiritual
and
Religious
thing
,
that
commands
your
consciences
,
and
over-rules
your
judgements
,
to
that
which
to
sense
and
reason
,
is
so
full
of
danger
:
It
hath
the
place
and
power
of
a
God
in
you
,
and
requires
this
of
you
,
under
the
notion
of
godliness
,
and
as
a
service
to
him
,
and
his
cause
:
You
being
so
engaged
,
it
must
needs
be
a
high
provocation
to
you
,
for
a
man
to
question
your
God
,
Religion
and
Principles
:
I
need
not
wonder
,
if
you
be
enraged
at
me
:
You
were
dull
souls
,
if
you
did
not
come
forth
against
me
,
with
all
the
might
and
power
of
your
Zeal
and
Religion
;
to
condemn
me
for
blaspheming
your
Cause
.
Indeed
I
do
not
blame
you
for
being
angry
at
me
;
I
rather
blame
you
,
that
you
do
like
women
,
fret
and
scold
,
but
do
not
bring
forth
your
reason
against
me
:
If
there
be
any
courage
or
strength
in
you
,
I
shall
do
what
I
can
to
engage
it
:
It
may
be
a
mercy
to
you
,
to
draw
you
off
from
a
fleshly
and
worldly
contest
with
the
Nation
,
which
will
ruine
you
:
to
a
spiritual
and
friendly
strife
about
Gods
,
Principles
,
and
Religions
:
In
which
war
,
we
shall
draw
no
blood
,
wast
no
treasure
;
destroy
no
families
;
nothing
will
be
hurt
,
that
is
right
and
good
;
nothing
be
lost
,
but
the
chaff
and
dust
:
With
this
fire
and
sword
of
Spirit
and
Word
,
will
God
plead
with
all
flesh
:
This
is
truly
and
only
the
war
of
God
,
for
the
cause
of
God
:
And
the
weapons
of
this
warfare
are
not
carnal
but
spiritual
;
mighty
,
to
pull
down
the
strongest
holds
of
the
enemy
:
With
this
fire
and
sword
of
the
Word
and
Spirit
,
God
pleads
with
all
flesh
,
with
all
Parties
,
with
all
opinions
:
Episcopal
,
Prosbyterian
,
Independants
,
Anabaptists
:
A
fleshly
war
,
by
fleshly
means
,
in
a
fleshly
spirit
of
pride
,
envy
,
impatience
,
self-seeking
,
&c.
may
destroy
men
,
but
encreases
division
,
multiplies
corruption
,
provokes
sin
in
the
subdued
,
swells
it
in
the
conqueror
,
fills
all
with
misery
.
But
this
war
is
,
of
one
God
,
one
life
,
one
peace
,
one
salvation
:
against
all
men
in
their
fleshly
opposing
one
another
,
and
proud
exalting
themselves
one
over
another
,
and
destroys
no
men
nor
sort
of
men
,
but
the
evil
and
enmity
of
all
,
it
destroyes
only
him
,
that
destroyes
the
earth
:
The
standard
that
I
do
advance
in
this
war
is
love
,
the
royal
Law
of
love
:
love
to
man
,
to
mankind
,
to
all
men
,
to
humane
nature
:
love
to
sinners
,
to
enemies
,
to
the
worst
of
sinners
.
You
are
religiously
and
conscientiously
engaged
to
oppose
,
pray
against
,
curse
and
destroy
the
present
Magistracy
and
Ministry
of
the
Nation
,
because
it
is
corrupt
and
sinfull
,
both
persons
and
things
:
This
was
your
cause
and
spirit
;
and
still
is
,
except
you
repent
and
desert
the
principles
in
which
you
have
been
acted
.
Against
this
spirit
and
religion
do
I
advance
this
standard
:
it
was
asserted
in
my
former
Book
,
but
not
raised
high
enough
to
be
publikely
observed
or
dealt
with
:
It
is
more
fully
this
:
Since
God
hath
revealed
his
good
will
to
mankind
,
and
his
large
mercy
,
to
all
men
,
to
sinners
and
enemies
,
not
only
to
the
godly
,
but
to
the
ungodly
and
unrighteous
,
and
made
his
own
example
,
a
Law
and
Rule
,
in
his
house
,
to
all
his
children
:
He
that
hateth
his
brother
,
is
in
darkness
:
knows
not
,
lives
not
in
the
true
light
of
Christ
;
is
not
of
Gods
mind
:
If
he
saith
,
he
is
in
the
light
,
and
pretends
to
religion
,
and
the
way
of
God
,
he
is
a
liar
,
and
is
in
darkness
until
now
,
and
knoweth
not
whither
he
goeth
:
1
John
2.9
,
11.
I
know
this
is
exceeding
strange
,
and
contrary
to
the
whole
frame
of
religion
,
wherein
you
have
been
exercised
these
many
years
:
For
of
late
,
all
religion
and
light
hath
only
served
to
hate
and
destroy
:
and
in
this
kind
of
religion
the
further
and
higher
men
go
,
the
more
they
hate
,
and
with
more
cruel
hatred
:
first
hate
the
evil
Council
,
then
the
King
,
then
the
Lords
,
then
the
Commons
:
First
hate
the
Bishops
,
then
the
Ministers
,
then
the
Presbyterian
equal
to
the
Episcopal
,
then
the
Independant
and
Anabaptist
Churches
:
then
all
Religion
:
and
so
one
generation
of
hatred
,
hath
begot
another
,
worse
and
worse
;
but
no
salvation
,
no
healing
,
no
pardoning
any
:
Sure
this
is
very
different
from
that
large
and
universal
good
will
,
that
is
declared
by
Christ
.
This
hatred
is
condemned
here
to
darkness
,
to
the
Prince
of
darkness
,
who
is
the
enemy
,
the
wicked
or
malignant
one
:
For
if
we
walk
in
the
light
,
as
God
is
in
the
light
,
we
have
fellowship
one
with
another
:
and
the
blood
of
Christ
cleanseth
from
us
all
sin
:
He
is
in
the
light
,
and
in
him
is
no
darkness
at
all
:
the
darkness
is
no
darkness
to
him
,
he
doth
not
stumble
,
is
not
offended
at
it
:
he
is
pure
and
holy
,
and
nothing
can
pollute
and
defile
him
:
he
shines
in
darkness
,
and
the
darkness
comprehends
him
not
:
thanks
him
not
,
loves
him
not
;
yet
he
shines
still
.
And
they
that
have
fellowship
with
him
,
may
be
,
and
are
,
where
he
is
,
and
see
as
he
sees
,
do
as
he
doth
,
and
not
be
polluted
or
offended
:
he
that
is
taught
of
God
,
as
God
is
,
so
is
he
in
this
world
:
he
shines
in
darkness
,
and
is
not
comprehended
by
it
,
nor
subjected
to
it
,
nor
offended
at
it
:
and
therefore
quarrels
not
with
them
that
are
in
it
:
but
pitties
,
pardons
,
and
relieves
them
:
yea
though
they
are
not
only
dark
and
ignorant
,
but
malitious
and
spitefull
against
him
,
and
would
destroy
him
,
yet
he
sets
not
himself
against
them
:
but
on
the
contrary
feeds
,
clothes
,
sustains
their
outward
and
inward
man
,
their
bodies
and
souls
;
And
this
he
doth
as
an
example
,
and
pattern
to
his
children
;
If
you
see
God
going
before
you
,
in
restoring
,
delivering
,
forgiving
;
and
instead
of
following
his
example
,
you
be
angry
at
it
,
fret
and
curse
:
and
think
that
your
wrath
should
lead
him
,
and
your
prayer
call
forth
his
vengeance
:
This
is
not
like
the
Gospel
,
nor
like
his
Sons
.
There
is
another
principle
,
which
I
will
set
at
the
foot
of
this
standard
:
Whosoever
hateth
his
brother
is
a
murderer
,
and
ye
know
that
no
murderer
hath
eternal
life
in
him
,
John
3.15
.
He
that
hateth
his
brother
is
a
murderer
:
then
he
that
murdereth
his
brother
,
hates
him
:
why
else
doth
he
murder
him
?
He
then
that
hates
,
and
out
of
hatred
endeavours
the
destroying
or
removing
by
death
,
them
that
he
hates
,
is
a
hatefull
murderer
:
And
then
to
prepare
war
is
hatred
and
murder
,
by
the
Law
of
love
:
It
is
not
just
or
good
,
because
it
is
commonly
done
:
It
is
not
good
,
because
it
is
done
by
many
,
but
worse
:
If
it
be
murder
for
one
man
to
kill
another
,
it
is
more
murder
for
one
party
to
kill
another
party
:
If
it
be
done
by
a
more
religious
party
,
upon
a
more
prophane
party
,
it
is
still
worse
:
Wars
for
Religion
are
worse
then
for
Civil
rights
:
because
by
such
wars
,
not
only
men
suffer
death
,
but
the
peace
,
purity
,
and
love
of
Religion
,
which
is
the
Law
of
Christ
,
is
violated
:
Wars
raised
by
a
better
people
,
upon
a
worse
(
if
we
be
Christians
)
is
still
worse
,
then
for
a
worse
to
raise
war
upon
the
better
.
For
according
to
the
Law
and
example
of
Christ
,
The
strong
ought
to
bear
the
infirmities
of
the
Weak
,
and
not
to
please
themselves
,
Rom.
15.1
.
and
the
just
to
suffer
for
the
unjust
.
It
follows
,
no
murderer
hath
eternal
life
in
him
:
For
if
any
man
have
eternal
life
in
him
,
he
need
not
,
he
cannot
,
out
of
fear
,
that
another
will
take
away
his
life
destroy
him
:
Neither
can
he
prey
upon
anothers
life
,
to
maintain
his
own
:
Nor
can
he
take
away
the
sinfull
life
of
another
,
to
secure
his
eternal
life
;
it
is
contrary
to
divine
reason
and
goodness
:
But
he
that
hath
eternal
life
will
be
enabled
to
lay
down
his
life
for
others
;
because
he
knows
his
life
is
eternal
,
and
cannot
be
lost
:
This
is
according
to
our
pattern
,
ver.
16.
Hereby
perceive
we
the
love
of
God
,
because
he
laid
down
his
life
for
us
,
and
we
ought
to
lay
down
our
lives
for
the
brethren
:
By
this
we
perceive
that
his
love
was
the
love
of
God
,
that
he
could
lay
down
his
life
for
us
;
and
that
his
life
was
the
life
of
God
,
that
it
could
lay
down
it self
for
us
:
And
we
ought
to
lay
down
our
lives
for
the
brethren
:
If
this
be
truly
and
only
,
the
nature
of
the
love
and
life
of
God
,
and
a
rule
to
us
:
Then
that
only
is
true
godliness
that
answers
to
this
pattern
:
And
what
is
contrary
to
it
,
is
of
the
wicked
one
.
You
cannot
,
you
must
not
think
to
slight
and
scorn
the
authority
and
Majesty
of
this
standard
:
if
ever
you
be
saved
,
you
must
come
to
it
;
if
you
be
saved
by
it
,
you
must
also
be
judged
and
ruled
by
it
:
I
am
able
to
say
it
doth
save
,
and
shall
judge
and
rule
you
and
all
men
:
and
therefore
by
this
,
I
must
and
will
try
and
measure
your
present
state
and
cause
.
You
profess
,
in
this
state
of
opposition
and
enmity
wherein
you
have
been
and
are
still
engaged
,
the
cause
of
God
and
godliness
.
Is
there
a
cause
of
God
,
that
differs
from
himself
,
from
his
life
and
love
?
or
another
godliness
,
then
that
which
is
born
of
him
,
and
conformed
to
him
?
Doth
he
lay
down
his
life
for
us
that
are
sinners
,
and
enemies
;
and
give
the
same
life
to
us
,
which
he
laid
down
for
us
,
that
we
might
be
like
him
?
and
shall
we
,
because
we
are
his
children
,
destroy
others
that
are
not
so
?
If
this
be
light
,
and
a
rule
,
then
your
enmity
in
which
you
stand
,
is
darkness
,
and
you
are
lead
into
it
by
a
false
God
,
by
an
evil
spirit
,
and
by
a
crooked
rule
.
SECT.
X.
ALL
enmity
is
betwixt
two
parties
;
this
enmity
being
in
darkness
,
there
is
a
false
judgement
of
both
:
He
that
hates
is
ignorant
of
himself
,
and
of
him
or
them
that
he
hates
;
in
both
respects
the
darkness
of
malice
blinds
his
eyes
,
and
he
knows
not
whither
he
goes
:
In
your
present
enmity
,
you
are
guilty
of
both
:
mistaken
and
deceived
,
1.
In
your selves
:
And
2.
In
your
enemies
;
If
there
be
these
two
errors
,
there
must
be
a
third
also
,
ignorance
of
the
way
that
you
are
in
,
in
prosecuting
these
enemies
:
You
think
you
are
engaged
in
the
cause
of
God
,
and
that
you
move
in
the
way
of
God
,
against
the
enemies
of
God
.
But
you
will
find
that
you
are
blinded
by
the
enemies
in
all
three
;
and
that
you
are
not
what
you
think
you
are
:
nor
are
your
enemies
,
that
which
your
hatred
suggests
they
are
;
nor
is
the
way
of
opposing
and
destroying
,
what
your
enmity
imagines
it
is
:
In
all
,
your
eyes
are
blinded
,
and
you
know
not
whither
you
go
:
It
will
be
a
mercy
to
you
,
if
God
please
,
to
open
your
eyes
,
and
to
turn
you
from
this
way
of
wrath
,
into
the
Way
of
peace
,
we
shall
endeavour
it
.
First
,
for
your selves
,
you
take
it
for
granted
,
1.
That
the
cause
in
which
you
stand
is
the
cause
of
God
:
2.
You
conclude
that
that
religion
and
holiness
in
which
you
live
,
is
the
only
godliness
and
Christianity
:
I
doubt
you
are
deceived
in
both
.
For
the
first
of
these
,
the
cause
,
it
is
cryed
up
among
you
,
as
the
Jews
cried
up
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
:
I
fear
your
cry
hath
less
ground
then
theirs
:
However
while
the
sound
of
it
lives
in
your
spirits
,
it
is
no
wonder
if
it
over-powers
you
:
For
there
is
certainly
nothing
more
high
and
honourable
,
then
to
be
engaged
in
the
cause
of
God
;
to
be
his
friends
,
and
champions
,
and
to
be
imployed
in
recovering
of
a
Kingdom
for
Christ
,
and
setting
him
upon
the
throne
:
All
that
are
called
to
this
work
may
well
be
zealous
in
it
,
and
freely
adventure
their
lives
for
it
;
knowing
they
shall
have
a
great
reward
for
it
:
and
whatever
their
lives
or
sins
are
,
they
shall
at
least
go
to
heaven
,
if
they
dye
in
the
quarrel
;
the
service
is
enough
to
answer
for
all
.
Besides
what
we
have
said
in
the
seventh
and
eighth
Section
:
That
this
cause
,
as
you
have
managed
it
,
agrees
to
no
rule
or
example
of
Scripture
:
Not
to
the
way
or
work
of
God
,
in
delivering
Israel
out
of
Aegypt
;
nor
to
that
of
bringing
them
out
of
Babylon
,
much
less
to
the
way
of
the
Gospel
in
Christ
and
the
Apostles
;
nor
to
the
prophetical
Scriptures
:
nor
to
the
thing
it self
which
you
profess
,
as
we
have
I
think
convincingly
shewed
:
And
besides
that
standard
of
the
love
and
life
of
God
,
set
up
in
the
last
Section
:
all
which
you
must
either
overthrow
,
or
subject
to
:
I
shall
now
desire
you
more
particularly
,
and
closely
to
consider
,
First
,
Whether
this
cry
of
the
cause
,
be
not
only
a
great
sound
,
or
more
sound
then
substance
:
Empty
vessels
give
the
greatest
sound
:
Most
noise
,
least
truth
and
substance
,
is
very
common
:
Or
things
when
they
go
off
,
make
the
greatest
report
:
This
I
have
observed
of
this
cause
:
it
floats
like
Wine
in
mens
heads
,
fills
mens
Prayers
and
Sermons
,
flies
about
in
Books
and
Discourses
,
and
so
raises
a
smoak
of
talk
,
zeal
,
and
affection
.
But
in
all
this
time
:
First
,
It
never
attained
,
or
gathered
a
body
,
into
any
consistency
,
but
mens
minds
are
still
blown
about
like
dust
:
one
people
talk
this
,
and
another
that
;
but
there
never
was
any
consent
or
agreement
about
it
:
2.
As
it
never
could
gain
a
body
,
so
it
never
had
any
form
,
it
was
never
yet
stated
by
any
man
,
or
by
any
company
of
men
:
only
confused
thoughts
and
talks
there
are
about
it
.
Thirdly
,
it
never
yet
attained
any
power
in
the
Nation
:
it
never
was
owned
as
the
cause
of
God
by
either
Parliament
or
Army
:
Men
in
their
private
prayers
and
Sermons
,
talk
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
of
the
fall
of
Babylon
,
and
building
Zion
;
but
those
powers
owned
nothing
but
necessity
,
safety
,
interest
of
the
people
,
and
such
like
things
:
And
therefore
you
may
well
think
what
a
bottom
it
is
,
that
you
adventure
your selves
in
;
or
rather
,
how
bottomless
it
is
:
Many
words
,
many
affections
,
many
duties
,
multitudes
of
sacrifices
,
many
Scriptures
quoted
,
preached
on
:
But
what
power
and
substance
is
there
in
these
?
What
heavenly
glory
is
there
in
them
or
among
you
,
that
is
able
to
convince
your
enemies
?
Or
what
earthly
strength
is
there
in
them
,
that
can
defend
and
support
a
poor
naked
people
,
against
a
strong
and
mighty
Prince
,
against
a
standing
Law
and
Authority
?
My
reason
,
experience
,
and
knowledge
tells
me
,
that
as
you
are
,
so
you
will
be
left
in
confusion
,
in
any
engagement
,
for
such
a
cause
,
that
hath
no
more
solid
body
,
state
or
power
in
it
.
And
therefore
be
perswaded
to
retire
,
from
the
noise
that
you
make
in
each
others
ears
and
affections
;
and
enquire
within
in
your
own
reasons
and
memories
:
And
remember
if
you
can
,
where
had
you
this
Cause
?
from
whence
came
it
?
where
and
when
was
it
born
?
in
what
year
of
these
late
changes
?
in
which
of
them
was
it
brought
forth
?
Or
from
what
Scripture
do
you
derive
it
?
is
there
such
a
thing
spoken
or
named
there
,
as
the
Cause
of
God
?
God
pleads
the
Cause
of
his
people
,
by
outward
Judgements
;
and
by
his
Spirit
the
Advocate
;
and
by
Christ
their
Counsellor
:
But
his
Cause
is
not
now
at
the
Bar
;
no
,
he
hath
set
Christ
upon
the
throne
,
and
he
is
exalted
far
above
all
principalities
and
powers
:
He
is
now
actually
judging
and
ruling
the
world
:
he
pulleth
down
and
setteth
up
whom
he
will
:
You
may
feel
his
power
and
authority
,
he
judges
you
,
for
your
unrighteousness
,
and
sets
up
your
enemies
above
you
:
What
is
it
that
thus
blinds
your
eyes
,
that
you
should
contend
,
or
that
which
is
already
done
,
for
Christs
Kingdom
?
doth
not
the
enemy
abuse
your
understandings
?
and
perswade
you
,
it
is
the
Cause
of
God
,
and
his
Kingdom
,
when
indeed
it
is
your
own
honour
,
dominion
and
greatness
?
But
hath
there
not
been
a
cause
of
God
in
this
Nation
?
Yes
there
hath
been
that
which
we
may
call
so
:
and
it
was
this
,
The
Church
and
Kingdom
of
England
,
stood
in
a
very
dark
,
fleshly
and
corrupt
state
;
and
the
Governors
of
it
were
also
corrupt
,
and
had
sinned
against
God
:
For
which
God
had
a
Controversie
,
both
with
their
persons
and
standing
:
And
therefore
sanctified
you
,
with
a
fleshly
holiness
,
against
their
fleshly
corruption
,
and
called
you
forth
for
the
executing
of
his
judgement
upon
them
:
And
therein
you
were
justified
,
being
engaged
(
to
speak
in
your
language
)
in
the
cause
of
God
;
or
being
employed
to
administer
that
judgement
which
he
had
given
in
the
cause
:
Thus
much
I
can
grant
to
you
,
and
it
will
be
found
the
right
of
the
case
.
But
if
the
Judgement
decreed
be
executed
,
and
the
measure
of
outward
punishment
be
fulfilled
,
then
your
cause
ceases
:
If
this
kind
of
wrath
,
by
war
,
blood
,
and
spoil
be
finished
;
why
should
not
you
be
content
to
be
discharged
from
this
employment
?
First
,
it
is
a
mean
service
to
be
the
Executioners
of
an
outward
destruction
:
It
is
,
O
Assyrian
,
the
rod
of
my
anger
,
and
the
staff
in
their
hand
is
my
indignation
:
I
will
send
him
against
an
hypocritical
Nation
,
and
against
the
people
of
my
wrath
will
I
give
him
change
,
to
take
the
spoil
,
and
to
take
the
prey
,
and
to
tread
down
like
the
mire
of
the
streets
,
Isa.
10.5
,
6.
Secondly
,
as
it
is
a
vile
service
,
so
it
hath
been
vilely
polluted
:
It
is
a
filthy
thing
to
destroy
,
and
the
filthiness
of
it
is
manifested
:
It
is
Babylonian
,
and
the
confusion
is
sufficiently
discovered
:
The
brightness
and
cleanness
of
it
,
and
all
the
honour
,
and
glory
of
it
was
,
the
wrath
and
justice
of
God
:
when
that
was
finished
,
then
it
presently
shewed
its
vile
nature
:
covetousness
,
self-seeking
,
pride
and
cruelty
:
Nothing
but
ignorance
,
or
a
love
of
the
prey
and
spoil
,
can
make
men
to
doat
upon
it
,
and
desire
to
continue
in
it
.
Thirdly
,
being
it self
unclean
,
it
cannot
purifie
nor
reform
the
Nation
:
It
reaches
but
to
the
out-side
,
to
the
outward
life
,
honour
and
greatness
:
It
never
touches
the
spirit
,
and
therefore
may
waste
and
spoil
,
and
so
restrain
,
for
a
time
,
the
fleshly
part
;
but
the
nature
and
spirit
of
the
thing
still
remains
,
yea
confirmed
and
strengthened
:
It
may
tread
down
in
the
mire
,
but
its
unclean
feet
of
wrath
and
pastion
,
pollute
more
then
purge
,
and
so
make
worse
.
Fourthly
,
to
purifie
,
is
left
to
the
fire
of
of
his
own
Spirit
;
which
will
thorowly
purge
,
with
the
spirit
of
judgement
and
burning
:
You
administred
1.
without
judgement
,
you
could
not
discern
between
the
gold
and
the
dross
.
And
2.
without
burning
,
for
if
the
dross
be
not
separated
from
the
gold
,
it
cannot
be
consumed
:
as
yet
we
have
had
neither
separation
nor
burning
:
for
want
of
both
these
,
their
dross
still
remains
,
after
all
the
wrath
administred
:
But
doubt
not
,
the
holy
purpose
and
power
of
God
:
He
will
certainly
purge
both
you
and
them
:
by
the
breath
of
his
mouth
,
and
the
brightness
of
his
appearing
:
This
pure
heavenly
fire
,
is
descended
,
is
kindled
,
is
set
as
a
refiners
fire
;
and
no
iniquity
shall
escape
the
flame
of
it
:
For
it
is
holy
,
mighty
,
effectual
and
eternal
;
it
doth
,
and
will
burn
for
ever
:
You
have
heard
the
sound
of
it
in
your
spirits
;
ye
are
in
the
smoak
of
it
,
and
so
is
the
whole
Nation
,
which
is
the
reason
of
the
present
blackness
,
darkness
and
confusion
:
But
when
the
evil
is
brought
forth
and
discovered
,
he
will
certainly
destroy
it
:
yea
it
is
actually
destroying
,
and
in
destruction
;
in
being
brought
forth
.
Fifthly
,
That
outward
wrath
which
you
administred
,
you
could
nor
but
execute
it
:
you
could
not
cease
from
it
,
till
it
was
finished
;
but
you
have
since
turned
from
that
cause
,
and
made
another
:
which
is
planting
your selves
,
in
the
place
of
them
that
you
thrust
out
;
exalting
your selves
and
Ministry
upon
their
ruines
.
Pray
observe
,
First
,
That
the
great
things
now
boasted
,
of
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
and
reign
of
the
Saints
:
which
are
indeed
eternal
truths
and
sure
things
,
but
the
application
of
them
to
your
persons
,
gifts
and
Ministry
;
and
apprehending
of
them
to
your selves
in
your
lace
work
;
are
things
that
are
sprung
up
since
the
beginning
of
the
wars
;
and
are
the
children
or
idols
of
the
success
you
have
had
in
the
wars
;
these
notions
were
not
known
at
first
:
the
war
was
betwixt
King
and
Parliament
:
opportunity
,
advantage
,
and
success
,
made
you
bold
to
assume
these
titles
.
Secondly
,
you
could
not
claim
this
title
to
the
Kingdom
of
Saints
,
till
Babylon
was
destroyed
:
In
assuming
of
it
,
your
own
works
declare
that
ministry
of
wrath
,
to
be
finished
,
you
did
believe
,
profess
,
praise
and
practice
accordingly
:
And
therefore
you
cannot
return
to
it
again
,
without
contradicting
your
own
judgements
and
opinions
,
yea
those
very
judgements
and
opinions
in
which
your
strength
lies
.
Observe
it
well
,
The
present
Governors
and
Government
of
Church
and
Kingdom
,
are
say
you
Babylon
,
and
the
enemies
of
God
and
his
people
:
You
therefore
did
execute
the
wrath
of
God
upon
them
to
destroy
them
:
Was
that
justice
or
wrath
perfect
,
full
and
compleat
or
no
?
If
it
was
,
it
finished
,
and
you
have
no
more
to
do
of
that
kind
:
you
certainly
thought
it
so
,
perfect
,
and
sufficient
,
and
so
believed
,
praised
,
and
lived
.
Babylon
being
destroyed
,
Zion
comes
forth
:
you
own
your selves
to
be
Israel
,
Gods
people
;
and
that
the
Kingdom
is
the
Saints
:
which
you
could
not
do
,
till
Babylon
was
destroyed
:
for
Israel
cannot
come
forth
,
nor
have
her
liberty
till
then
:
This
ground
you
now
stand
upon
;
not
upon
the
Parliament
,
as
at
first
,
but
as
Zion
and
Gods
people
:
and
this
title
stands
only
upon
the
ruines
of
Babylon
:
Therefore
either
you
must
hold
to
this
,
that
you
are
Zion
,
and
then
Babylon
is
destroyed
;
and
then
you
are
not
to
engage
again
in
a
war
against
her
:
Or
else
if
you
think
Babylon
yet
stands
and
is
not
destroyed
,
you
must
relinquish
your
confidence
and
title
of
the
Kingdom
of
Saints
,
and
go
back
again
,
to
begin
a
new
heathenish
work
and
war
:
But
you
have
been
the
ax
wherewith
Christ
hath
hewed
,
and
the
saw
that
he
hath
shaken
,
and
as
foolish
proud
man
uses
to
do
,
you
have
boasted
and
magnified
your selves
and
ministry
(
into
the
place
of
Christ
,
and
so
)
against
him
that
heweth
therewith
:
and
for
that
you
suffer
so
great
shame
and
rebuke
.
I
have
endeavoured
to
let
you
see
,
that
,
that
which
is
the
most
of
the
cause
of
God
,
that
ever
you
had
,
which
is
the
execution
of
his
justice
,
is
now
finished
and
ceased
:
And
that
in
love
both
to
your
souls
,
lives
,
liberties
and
families
;
that
I
might
withdraw
you
from
this
way
of
enmity
and
opposition
in
which
you
stand
,
and
in
which
you
will
suffer
,
if
you
do
not
retreat
.
The
true
ground
of
our
war
ceasing
,
which
is
the
administration
of
,
an
outward
punishment
;
the
cause
of
God
,
as
to
that
point
ceaseth
:
And
therefore
you
are
deceived
in
your
cause
,
passion
having
blinded
your
eyes
.
The
second
thing
that
strengthens
you
in
your
enmity
,
is
your
holiness
,
religion
and
godliness
:
This
must
be
tryed
,
whether
you
be
not
deceived
in
it
also
.
It
consists
much
in
Religious
duties
,
performed
by
gifts
,
as
praying
,
speaking
,
prophecying
,
and
an
outward
conformity
to
the
Gospel
:
For
the
power
and
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
,
is
not
manifested
in
you
,
by
any
signs
or
fruits
;
or
not
more
in
you
,
then
in
others
:
There
is
nothing
singular
produced
,
but
what
is
common
to
others
,
only
your
manner
of
speaking
,
praying
,
worshipping
:
which
is
affirmed
to
be
,
1.
nearer
to
the
rule
,
and
2.
of
more
power
then
others
:
And
that
the
worship
of
your
enemies
,
is
superstition
and
humane
invention
,
and
hath
no
life
in
it
.
It
is
most
certain
,
that
this
kind
of
Religion
and
Holiness
,
is
not
with
God
what
you
esteem
it
:
You
do
highly
,
yea
too
highly
value
it
:
But
it
doth
not
,
it
cannot
stand
in
the
presence
of
God
;
not
in
his
own
immediate
presence
:
but
is
of
a
worldly
nature
,
and
stands
only
in
the
world
:
It
is
not
the
worship
,
that
is
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
before
the
throne
of
God
,
and
of
the
Lamb
;
I
hope
you
will
confess
it
:
For
you
know
there
is
no
such
contention
,
war
,
blood
,
cursing
,
nor
such
mixtures
of
uncleanness
,
can
or
dares
come
before
him
:
And
therefore
though
it
stood
awhile
as
a
Ministry
,
yet
it
is
faln
,
and
that
before
him
:
For
what
cannot
stand
before
him
,
falls
before
him
:
The
reason
of
his
dislike
of
it
is
,
First
,
It
is
not
of
a
right
kind
:
It
is
not
a
new
nature
;
not
a
nature
,
but
a
gift
;
not
a
divine
nature
,
but
a
humane
thing
;
not
from
heaven
and
in
heaven
,
but
in
the
earth
and
from
the
earth
.
Secondly
,
Because
it
is
not
a
nature
,
it
is
not
deep
,
solid
and
lasting
;
it
washes
the
outside
of
the
platter
;
makes
new
words
,
gestures
,
expressions
;
but
your
confessions
say
,
the
heart
is
still
a
most
vile
and
filthy
thing
,
and
that
your
natures
are
still
corrupt
:
If
the
heart
be
unclean
,
Religion
is
but
a
shadow
,
and
cannot
please
him
who
is
truth
and
substance
:
He
requires
,
a
good
man
,
that
hath
a
good
treasure
,
in
a
good
heart
;
and
a
good
tree
,
of
a
right
kind
,
that
brings
forth
good
fruit
;
not
briers
and
thorns
of
contention
and
violence
.
Thirdly
,
Being
not
from
heaven
,
it
corrupts
and
decayes
;
it
is
not
an
incorruptible
life
:
Actually
it
hath
foully
corrupted
,
into
the
grossest
pollutions
,
that
any
people
did
ever
commit
.
Into
gross
covetousness
,
ambition
,
and
self-seeking
:
into
absurd
and
palpable
errours
,
lies
and
delusions
:
And
into
that
most
,
which
is
the
worst
,
enmity
,
cruelty
and
persecution
;
and
that
generally
and
universally
,
of
all
,
both
friends
and
foes
,
and
in
all
,
in
the
highest
most
:
And
therefore
observe
it
,
with
a
special
observation
.
First
,
That
the
several
parties
,
Presbyterian
,
Independant
,
Anabaptists
and
fifth
Monarchy-men
:
have
all
one
life
of
holiness
,
one
peace
,
one
righteousness
,
one
hope
,
one
heaven
:
Of
each
sort
,
some
died
in
the
late
execution
;
and
they
all
breathed
out
their
souls
in
one
and
the
same
faith
and
hope
.
Secondly
,
Yet
these
had
been
,
not
many
Moneths
before
,
mortal
enemies
one
to
another
:
and
attempted
war
one
against
another
:
some
of
them
were
for
the
Rump
,
against
the
Army
;
and
some
of
them
,
for
the
Army
,
against
the
Rump
:
and
the
fifth
Monarchy-men
would
gladly
have
fought
them
both
,
and
have
offered
at
it
:
and
yet
they
appeared
at
last
Brethren
:
And
if
they
were
restrained
from
fighting
and
drawing
blood
,
yet
their
prayers
,
faith
and
religion
,
were
set
against
one
another
:
which
hath
been
the
constant
practise
of
all
these
Parties
;
they
have
discharged
bitter
curses
and
judgements
against
each
other
:
which
is
the
greatest
corruption
,
even
to
a
dissolution
.
Thirdly
,
And
therefore
if
men
allow
of
enmity
against
any
sort
of
men
,
because
they
are
against
them
,
and
their
wayes
;
they
will
exercise
the
same
to
all
that
oppose
their
way
:
He
that
will
kill
a
Cavaleer
,
because
he
is
not
godly
,
will
likewise
kill
a
Presbyterian
,
Independant
,
Anabaptist
,
or
any
other
,
if
he
cross
his
way
and
notion
;
be
he
never
so
near
to
him
,
in
the
kind
of
his
life
:
And
he
that
will
kill
an
Episcopal
person
,
or
party
,
for
his
own
safety
,
or
for
the
Cause
of
God
;
will
for
the
same
Cause
kill
his
Brother
,
Independent
or
Anabaptist
.
Fourthly
,
This
kind
of
corruption
of
a
body
or
society
of
people
,
into
deadly
hatred
,
and
exercise
of
their
spirits
and
gifts
against
each
other
,
is
the
worst
kind
of
corruption
that
can
be
of
Holiness
or
Religion
:
Because
1.
it
is
against
love
,
which
is
the
supream
Law
.
2.
It
tends
to
a
dissolution
:
For
a
Kingdom
divided
against
it self
cannot
stand
;
if
not
a
Civil
,
then
much
less
a
Religious
Kingdom
.
3.
Where
this
sin
is
,
all
others
are
also
:
For
where
envying
and
strife
is
,
there
is
confusion
,
and
every
evil
work
,
Jam.
3.16
.
Therefore
if
you
have
bitter
envying
and
strife
in
your
hearts
,
glory
not
,
and
lie
not
against
the
truth
:
This
wisdom
descendeth
not
from
above
;
but
is
earthly
,
sensual
and
devilish
,
ver.
14
,
15.
The
wisdom
that
is
from
above
,
is
first
pure
,
then
peaceable
,
gentle
and
easie
to
be
intreated
,
full
of
mercy
and
good
fruits
,
without
partiality
,
and
without
hypocrisie
,
ver.
17.
From
all
which
we
must
conclude
,
that
the
Religion
and
Holiness
in
which
you
glory
,
and
upon
which
you
stand
,
is
earthly
and
sensual
;
It
began
in
strife
and
self-seeking
;
and
its
end
is
devilish
:
It
is
corrupted
and
faln
:
As
great
and
greater
things
then
these
,
have
corrupted
,
the
Scripture
witnesses
it
:
I
testifie
it
,
upon
experimental
knowledge
:
and
your
works
manifest
this
of
yours
to
be
faln
:
If
you
glory
in
this
,
and
think
there
is
not
a
better
,
you
lie
against
the
truth
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
:
I
know
there
is
a
more
excellent
,
heavenly
and
perfect
state
,
which
now
judges
this
of
yours
,
and
you
will
know
it
also
,
when
you
are
ashamed
of
this
.
SECT.
XI
.
LEt
me
mind
you
what
we
are
upon
.
He
that
hateth
his
Brother
,
is
in
darkness
,
walketh
in
darkness
,
and
knoweth
not
whither
he
goeth
,
because
darkeness
hath
blinded
his
eyes
:
I
am
proving
that
the
darkness
of
hatred
hath
blinded
your
eyes
,
that
you
know
not
,
1.
What
you
are
:
2.
What
your
enemies
are
:
3.
What
the
way
is
you
are
going
,
or
whither
you
go
:
You
are
blinded
,
as
to
your selves
,
and
in
a
mist
of
strife
and
confusion
have
lost
,
1.
your
Cause
,
2.
your
Religion
:
you
retain
the
form
or
carkass
of
both
,
but
have
lost
the
justice
of
one
,
and
the
life
of
the
other
:
I
shall
now
shew
you
how
you
are
blinded
concerning
your
enemies
;
that
you
do
not
,
cannot
understand
them
,
in
the
present
state
in
which
you
stand
.
I
will
not
urge
upon
you
my
apprehensions
of
them
,
which
I
have
declared
in
my
Book
:
They
are
there
published
,
and
let
them
abide
the
tryal
:
I
meet
with
nothing
yet
,
that
is
of
sufficient
authority
to
make
me
retract
them
:
You
wonder
and
are
offended
at
the
good
that
I
have
written
of
the
King
,
from
those
antient
foundations
of
rest
and
grace
,
in
Gods
sight
,
laid
in
Noah
:
My
authority
for
it
I
tell
you
,
pag.
65.
in
these
words
,
My
love
is
my
first
and
chief
guide
,
in
this
application
to
your
Majestie
.
I
believe
it
will
uphold
and
justifie
me
,
against
that
weakness
or
strangeness
,
which
either
is
in
it
,
or
may
seem
to
others
to
be
in
it
:
For
I
do
in
my
soul
,
give
unto
love
,
the
most
absolute
authority
,
as
the
most
supream
royal
Law
in
heaven
and
in
earth
;
the
most
certain
and
infallible
rule
:
For
that
only
is
without
errour
,
that
is
able
to
cover
the
errours
,
and
supply
the
defects
of
all
things
else
.
I
only
advance
it
as
a
standard
,
let
it
stand
naked
by
it self
:
I
do
it
to
invite
you
to
deal
with
it
:
Both
reason
and
sense
are
against
it
:
Overthrow
it
if
you
can
;
I
do
desire
it
may
be
throughly
tryed
:
because
I
know
it
is
a
stranger
in
the
world
:
You
have
other
thoughts
of
this
application
,
that
it
comes
from
the
vile
and
base
principle
of
flattery
:
I
profess
the
most
honourable
principle
of
love
;
if
you
have
I
any
strength
of
truth
and
righteousness
in
you
,
suffer
not
so
gross
an
evil
as
this
to
pass
uncorrected
.
My
business
with
you
,
is
to
slay
that
enmity
that
is
in
you
,
to
the
present
power
;
and
to
take
you
off
from
that
dangerous
opposition
in
which
you
are
engaged
:
that
so
you
may
come
to
live
a
quiet
and
sober
life
under
it
:
And
to
let
you
see
how
hatred
hath
blinded
your
eyes
.
No
man
that
hates
ought
to
judge
;
while
he
hates
he
cannot
judge
:
All
passions
darken
the
judgement
;
above
all
hatred
,
which
is
a
foul
,
black
,
devilish
thing
;
it
is
of
the
wicked
one
:
whom
God
hath
cast
down
from
all
authority
of
rule
and
judgement
:
And
made
him
a
slave
,
a
vile
Executioner
of
his
wrath
:
I
pleaded
this
in
my
Book
,
in
the
behalf
of
them
that
since
have
suffered
,
pag.
152.
and
now
plead
it
with
you
:
And
shall
I
hope
never
cease
to
plead
it
with
God
,
and
with
men
:
and
with
God
in
man
,
till
this
base
spirit
of
malice
,
be
cast
out
of
all
power
,
both
Civil
and
Religious
:
For
I
know
that
hatred
,
though
it
seem
to
judge
,
and
to
be
very
forward
in
judging
,
yet
it
hath
neither
true
right
,
nor
light
to
judge
any
:
Only
it
is
a
servant
to
the
justice
of
God
:
It
is
true
,
God
hath
given
this
beast
a
kingdom
,
greatness
and
power
,
but
it
is
only
in
wrath
and
destruction
:
Foolish
man
is
deceived
miserably
by
him
,
poor
dust
,
if
he
can
get
up
into
any
kind
of
power
;
though
it
be
only
to
plague
and
destroy
,
yet
he
thinks
it
a
great
attainment
:
if
he
hath
so
much
knowledge
,
religion
or
power
,
as
to
inflict
punishment
,
he
fancies
himself
a
god
:
because
he
administers
divine
displeasure
:
But
if
ever
you
come
to
so
much
light
of
God
,
as
to
know
what
you
do
,
you
will
abhor
your selves
for
that
,
which
you
now
glory
in
.
If
you
will
shew
your selves
men
,
and
but
exercise
your
reason
,
you
will
quickly
see
,
that
you
cannot
judge
of
your
enemies
that
you
hate
,
and
therefore
that
they
are
not
what
you
judge
them
to
be
,
while
you
judge
in
hatred
.
First
,
No
man
can
judge
,
when
he
hates
,
or
after
he
hates
:
For
when
men
hate
,
they
suppose
,
those
they
hate
,
are
to
be
destroyed
:
and
therefore
they
are
already
judged
and
condemned
:
For
hatred
is
the
executing
of
one
condemned
,
and
that
with
the
worst
condemnation
:
unto
the
utmost
and
irrevocable
ruine
:
Men
think
when
they
hate
,
there
remains
nothing
to
do
,
but
to
prosecute
,
to
utter
destruction
;
to
spoil
,
pull
down
,
shame
,
disgrace
and
ruine
them
:
And
it
is
impossible
that
they
should
judge
,
that
are
thus
employed
to
execute
:
For
to
judge
a
person
,
or
a
thing
,
is
to
try
the
good
and
the
evil
;
all
judgement
supposes
a
right
and
a
wrong
,
and
an
indifferency
to
both
,
with
an
endeavour
to
find
out
both
:
Now
consider
how
you
are
affected
to
your
Adversaries
,
and
you
will
find
that
you
do
absolutely
hate
them
as
persons
and
things
to
be
cut
off
from
the
earth
:
As
the
people
of
Gods
wrath
,
and
of
his
curse
:
as
enemies
to
Jesus
Christ
,
doomed
to
destruction
for
ever
:
So
that
judgement
is
past
,
if
this
be
your
minds
;
and
you
have
nothing
to
do
but
to
seek
their
ruine
.
As
you
see
you
cannot
judge
,
till
you
cease
to
hate
,
so
you
may
here
see
the
nature
and
kind
of
hatred
:
When
God
hath
judged
a
people
to
be
scourged
and
spoiled
for
their
sins
,
and
given
them
up
to
wrath
and
the
curse
;
he
hath
instruments
prepared
for
the
execution
of
them
,
some
;
fierce
,
self-seeking
,
hating
persons
;
To
these
he
discovers
the
Sentence
,
and
represents
the
Party
to
be
punished
,
as
cloathed
with
his
Curse
;
and
then
they
fall
on
,
with
all
their
zeal
and
might
,
as
glad
of
such
employment
:
But
poor
wretches
,
they
know
not
the
counsel
of
God
,
not
the
measure
nor
end
of
his
displeasure
:
And
therefore
form
up
other
conceits
in
their
heads
,
as
the
King
of
Assyria
did
:
Howbeit
he
meaneth
not
so
,
neither
doth
his
heart
think
so
,
but
it
is
in
his
heart
to
destroy
and
cut
off
Nations
not
a
few
,
Isa.
10.7
.
Success
in
such
employments
are
certain
and
constant
;
which
the
proud
Executioner
cannot
bear
,
but
his
hatred
is
enlarged
as
hell
,
and
presently
thinks
of
destroying
Nations
not
a
few
;
glorying
in
the
success
,
he
is
swelled
with
pride
,
and
thinks
to
conquer
all
the
world
:
This
is
only
to
shew
you
the
true
original
and
nature
of
hatred
;
it
is
rooted
in
the
Curse
of
God
,
and
in
the
Devil
,
the
great
minister
of
the
Curse
,
who
hath
power
of
death
:
he
sets
man
on
to
execute
the
Curse
,
and
then
inflames
him
into
high
thoughts
of
himself
,
for
his
work
:
What
a
mercy
it
will
be
for
poor
man
to
be
redeemed
from
this
vile
service
,
and
the
absurd
and
woful
errors
,
that
do
attend
it
.
To
return
to
our
purpose
;
while
you
hate
,
you
cannot
judge
of
them
you
hate
:
and
the
judgement
you
make
is
no
judgement
,
or
a
false
one
.
For
,
Secondly
,
You
did
judge
them
Babylon
,
Antichristian
enemies
;
and
that
therefore
their
judgement
was
for
ever
and
ever
:
Such
you
know
is
the
destruction
of
Babylon
,
as
a
Mill-stone
cast
into
the
Sea
,
as
the
Angel
said
,
Rev.
18.21
▪
and
be
found
no
more
at
all
:
The
voice
of
Harps
and
Musitians
shall
not
be
found
in
her
,
nor
the
light
of
a
candle
,
nor
the
voice
of
the
Bridegroom
,
&c.
So
you
thought
of
these
,
that
they
would
never
recover
more
:
And
now
you
see
the
Musick
,
and
the
Candles
,
and
the
Mirth
is
risen
again
out
of
the
Sea
,
and
hath
escaped
the
mill-stone
and
the
drowning
too
:
Now
remember
and
consider
:
You
judged
them
Babylon
,
and
therefore
to
be
destroyed
for
ever
:
but
now
you
find
it
otherwise
:
your
judgement
therefore
is
false
:
Had
they
been
what
you
imagined
them
,
they
had
never
rose
:
Or
had
you
or
your
judgement
been
true
,
they
had
never
recovered
,
nor
you
faln
:
if
you
erred
as
to
the
kind
of
the
punishment
,
you
erred
also
as
to
their
state
:
I
know
you
must
think
,
that
this
recovery
of
theirs
,
is
but
in
order
to
an
utter
and
final
destruction
:
And
the
reason
of
it
is
,
because
if
you
do
think
it
otherwise
,
you
must
condemn
all
your
prayers
,
praises
,
and
interpretations
of
Scriptures
,
that
you
have
made
for
your selves
and
against
them
a
long
time
:
Therefore
till
you
repent
of
them
,
you
must
believe
your
enemies
must
perish
,
be
it
never
so
irrational
:
For
they
cannot
be
justified
,
till
your
enemies
do
fall
,
they
being
grounded
upon
their
ruine
:
But
pray
consider
,
this
is
a
present
shift
,
and
but
a
shift
:
It
will
not
cover
your
shame
:
It
is
far
easier
to
confess
ten
errours
,
ten
years
errours
,
the
errours
of
ten
thousand
persons
,
then
to
justifie
one
errour
:
Be
you
never
so
good
,
great
,
and
many
,
you
are
but
men
;
you
may
err
,
you
have
erred
and
run
out
of
one
errour
into
another
,
many
years
together
:
He
against
whom
you
have
exclaimed
,
delusions
,
delusion
;
is
able
to
say
to
you
now
,
You
have
been
and
are
under
strong
delusions
:
I
have
thought
it
,
and
published
it
,
and
now
it
is
proved
to
be
so
.
If
ever
it
come
to
pass
,
as
you
expect
,
an
utter
and
final
destruction
of
your
enemies
;
it
must
be
by
a
spirit
,
that
is
more
holy
,
true
,
and
righteous
,
then
that
,
in
which
you
have
hitherto
acted
:
And
such
a
spirit
you
cannot
have
,
till
you
repent
of
the
former
:
I
shall
help
you
what
I
can
.
An
utter
and
final
destruction
will
come
,
and
now
is
begun
upon
all
wicked
and
ungodly
works
;
although
it
be
not
seen
and
felt
:
for
all
wicked
works
are
in
the
wicked
one
,
and
he
in
the
wrath
of
God
:
in
which
he
and
they
shall
lie
for
ever
:
All
his
works
will
be
destroyed
,
in
judgement
,
for
this
fire
will
destroy
his
works
,
and
save
the
persons
:
But
your
spirit
,
or
the
spirit
in
which
you
acted
,
would
destroy
persons
and
things
;
but
did
encrease
ungodliness
;
for
both
your selves
,
and
enemies
also
,
are
not
better
,
but
worse
by
what
you
have
administred
.
Thirdly
,
I
hope
you
will
now
confess
,
that
you
and
your
Party
are
worse
then
you
thought
you
were
:
If
you
are
worse
then
you
judged
,
why
should
you
not
think
that
your
enemies
are
better
then
you
judged
?
If
you
are
not
such
holy
,
blessed
,
heavenly
Saints
,
as
you
thought
you
were
,
then
by
the
Law
of
contraries
,
they
are
not
such
Devils
,
or
brats
of
Antichrist
,
as
you
conceived
them
.
If
you
are
weak
men
,
as
it
appears
you
are
,
then
your
judgement
of
them
is
like
your selves
,
weak
and
fallible
:
And
as
you
fall
from
your
Mountain
of
exaltation
,
so
must
they
rise
,
and
stand
upon
even
ground
with
you
;
and
be
like
your selves
,
weak
sinful
men
as
you
are
:
If
you
are
not
quite
void
of
modesty
and
reason
,
you
cannot
but
admit
,
that
they
have
some
good
in
them
;
because
there
is
so
much
evil
in
you
that
have
opposed
them
:
If
there
was
so
much
folly
,
giddiness
,
and
drunkenness
in
your
opposition
;
you
cannot
but
think
,
that
there
is
some
good
in
these
that
you
oppose
:
As
I
do
admit
that
there
was
some
good
in
you
that
did
oppose
,
some
evil
in
them
:
so
you
must
admit
,
that
evil
in
you
,
and
that
evil
opposition
that
you
made
,
must
be
against
something
good
in
them
;
For
evil
where
ever
it
is
,
it
fights
against
good
.
Indeed
,
if
there
were
no
good
in
them
,
and
no
evil
in
you
;
you
need
not
,
you
would
not
oppose
them
;
for
that
which
is
perfectly
good
,
is
above
all
opposition
,
And
that
which
is
perfectly
evil
,
is
below
it
;
That
lives
in
a
heaven
in
it self
;
this
in
hell
and
confusion
;
that
is
salvation
and
rest
in
it self
,
this
is
destruction
,
and
sinks
under
the
weight
of
its
own
shame
and
guilt
.
Most
of
you
that
have
had
any
light
or
sense
of
things
,
have
of
late
found
a
spiritual
Antichrist
,
which
is
within
.
This
conviction
was
but
late
upon
you
,
and
but
weak
,
and
therefore
you
have
possibly
now
lost
the
sight
of
this
enemy
in
you
:
But
there
he
is
,
and
will
be
found
,
out
:
This
spiritual
Antichrist
,
was
in
you
from
the
beginning
of
your
work
,
though
he
appeared
but
lately
:
And
being
in
you
,
he
did
work
with
you
,
pray
with
you
,
fight
with
you
,
protest
and
covenant
with
you
,
was
in
all
your
zeal
,
judgings
,
fastings
and
engagements
:
You
never
had
any
thing
pure
or
clean
without
him
:
If
this
be
indeed
Antichrist
,
as
certainly
he
is
,
the
Antichrist
;
for
spiritual
Antichrist
,
is
greater
then
fleshly
Antichrist
;
more
dangerous
,
wicked
and
malicious
:
The
nature
of
this
Antichrist
is
to
oppose
Christ
;
he
doth
it
constantly
,
and
cannot
do
otherwise
:
Then
if
he
hath
been
in
you
,
and
acted
in
you
;
in
your
wars
and
works
;
he
hath
opposed
Christ
in
those
wars
and
works
:
And
then
,
there
must
be
something
of
Christ
,
in
them
that
you
oppose
:
I
shall
still
help
you
what
I
can
:
This
spiritual
Antichrist
hath
opposed
Christ
.
First
in
your
own
spirits
;
and
slain
that
Lamb
,
meekness
,
innocency
,
and
love
in
you
,
and
set
up
a
proud
,
cruel
,
bloody
spirit
,
in
the
worship
of
God
,
and
in
you
his
semple
.
Secondly
,
this
spiritual
Antichrist
made
you
fierce
and
cruel
to
your
Brethren
,
that
d
ffered
from
you
.
And
thirdly
,
it
made
you
false
▪
cruel
and
unmerciful
to
your
enemies
;
not
admitting
them
to
the
common
favour
and
mercy
which
God
shews
to
all
men
.
My
intent
is
,
by
levelling
the
lofty
confidences
of
men
,
to
bring
them
nearer
together
,
and
so
to
prepare
them
for
peace
and
reconciliation
:
All
have
sinned
and
come
short
of
the
glory
of
God
:
God
hath
concluded
and
shut
up
together
,
all
men
,
in
one
pit
of
darkness
and
enmity
,
that
he
might
have
mercy
upon
all
,
that
none
may
glory
,
or
exalt
themselves
,
one
over
another
:
None
are
righteous
;
nor
saved
,
because
they
are
righteous
;
nor
shall
any
be
destroyed
because
they
are
sinners
:
for
therefore
are
all
shut
up
,
in
one
pit
:
that
mercy
may
bring
them
all
forth
:
If
any
be
worse
then
others
,
it
is
they
that
have
most
knowledge
,
and
sinned
against
greatest
favour
:
And
they
may
again
receive
most
mercy
;
for
where
sin
hath
abounded
,
Grace
shall
much
more
abound
:
They
that
are
first
humbled
,
will
first
see
and
partake
of
this
large
,
excellent
and
eternal
salvation
:
Therefore
my
friends
,
be
not
stout
against
the
Lord
,
but
fall
under
his
rebuke
:
Of
pride
comes
contention
:
If
you
be
truly
humbled
,
you
will
cease
to
strive
:
You
have
been
as
Capernaum
,
exalted
to
heaven
,
in
gifts
,
success
,
titles
,
names
,
expressions
,
and
are
now
brought
down
to
hell
:
not
only
to
outward
shame
and
lofs
,
but
to
the
filth
,
lies
,
pride
and
enmity
of
hell
:
Who
can
deny
the
most
high
this
prerogative
,
to
set
up
as
high
as
heaven
,
in
the
brightness
and
glory
of
a
Ministry
;
and
bring
down
again
to
the
blackness
and
foulness
of
hell
?
Shall
foolish
man
think
,
that
because
God
dresses
him
up
,
and
calls
him
forth
,
to
serve
him
,
he
cannot
again
reject
that
man
and
his
service
also
?
Or
because
he
makes
things
honourable
,
at
least
in
mans
esteem
,
that
he
shall
not
again
dishonour
them
?
Hath
not
the
Potter
power
over
the
Clay
;
to
form
it
a
vessel
of
honour
,
or
dishonour
?
Hath
he
not
power
,
to
fashion
it
for
a
service
,
employ
it
in
that
service
;
and
then
break
it
in
pieces
,
and
make
it
new
again
?
He
that
knows
not
himself
,
knows
nothing
truly
;
for
all
wisdom
begins
at
the
knowledge
of
our selves
:
We
know
nothing
,
till
we
know
our selves
:
And
we
know
nothing
fully
,
till
we
know
it
in
our selves
.
We
know
nothing
rightly
,
till
we
our selves
rightly
measured
,
are
the
measure
of
others
:
It
is
apparent
,
you
are
mistaken
in
your selves
and
in
your
work
;
and
therefore
those
unexpected
corruptions
of
division
,
envy
,
covetousness
and
self
seeking
are
broken
forth
and
discovered
:
After
those
corruptions
,
unexpected
confusions
:
After
those
confusions
,
unexpected
ruine
and
destruction
is
upon
you
:
Therefore
you
have
over-valued
your selves
:
And
they
that
over-value
themselves
,
must
necessarily
undervalue
their
enemies
:
One
cannot
be
without
the
other
:
Most
men
,
their
righteousness
is
of
that
nature
;
they
are
good
,
because
others
are
worse
:
Enemies
can
no
longer
think
themselves
good
,
then
they
think
their
enemies
wicked
:
And
therefore
men
are
necessitated
,
when
they
become
enemies
to
any
,
to
aggravate
their
evils
,
all
that
they
can
;
to
feed
and
satisfie
their
own
anger
at
them
:
and
not
only
to
think
them
evil
,
but
to
rejoyce
when
their
evil
appears
,
either
of
sin
or
punishment
;
which
shews
the
vile
nature
of
enmity
,
it
engages
a
mans
soul
to
mischief
;
it
makes
men
study
it
,
long
for
it
,
thirst
after
it
;
and
if
it
comes
not
,
his
hatred
stirs
him
and
pricks
him
on
,
both
to
think
it
,
to
speak
it
,
to
pray
for
it
,
and
to
act
it
as
much
as
he
can
.
Therefore
consider
your selves
:
you
have
read
Luke
16.15
.
That
which
is
highly
esteemed
amongst
men
,
is
an
abomination
in
the
sight
of
God
.
You
highly
esteemed
your
work
and
state
:
It
is
become
abominable
in
the
sight
of
men
;
in
part
,
in
your
own
sight
:
It
was
first
so
in
Gods
sight
:
For
if
he
had
not
abominated
it
,
it
had
not
faln
into
that
vile
state
,
in
which
it
now
lies
under
guilt
,
shame
and
loss
.
Consider
then
,
if
that
which
is
highly
esteemed
by
men
,
may
be
abominable
in
the
sight
of
God
;
may
not
that
also
which
men
have
abominated
,
become
highly
esteemed
of
God
?
Yea
,
is
it
not
alwayes
so
?
What
men
reject
,
God
chuses
:
The
base
things
of
the
world
,
and
things
which
are
despised
,
hath
God
chosen
,
yea
and
things
that
are
not
,
that
he
might
bring
to
naught
things
that
are
,
1
Cor.
2.28
.
And
for
this
reason
,
v.
29.
that
no
flesh
might
glory
in
his
presence
:
If
one
Party
only
should
be
accepted
,
as
sometimes
it
is
for
a
season
;
then
doth
that
Party
glory
in
his
presence
;
as
you
did
in
the
time
of
your
exaltation
:
Now
God
rejects
you
,
and
chuses
them
whom
you
scorned
;
Yet
they
must
not
be
happy
alone
;
for
God
will
have
mercy
upon
all
.
It
were
no
dishonour
to
you
,
that
forgiveness
and
reconciliation
should
begin
in
you
:
To
prepare
you
for
it
,
are
you
brought
down
from
your
confidence
?
You
laid
all
the
evil
upon
your
adversaries
,
and
now
must
be
content
to
bear
shame
with
them
:
You
are
not
the
only
Saints
and
Zion
;
nor
they
the
only
Antichrist
and
Babylon
:
You
have
found
an
Antichrist
within
,
and
he
is
worse
then
one
without
:
A
spiritual
Antichrist
,
is
worse
then
a
fleshly
Antichrist
:
Their
Religion
is
corrupt
,
and
not
pure
:
Hath
not
yours
also
been
corrupted
with
the
worst
kind
of
corruption
,
malice
and
hypocrisie
?
Theirs
is
clogged
with
outward
pomp
,
worldly
honour
:
Yours
was
so
awhile
.
But
theirs
was
given
by
blind
superstitious
people
:
And
yours
was
taken
by
force
of
arms
:
But
their
Religion
is
not
according
to
Scripture
:
nor
is
any
form
of
Religion
,
now
in
the
Nation
:
All
build
something
of
their
own
,
and
therefore
they
differ
:
None
are
exactly
according
to
the
pattern
of
the
Apostles
,
neither
in
form
nor
power
.
As
all
are
sharers
in
the
evil
,
so
in
the
good
also
:
You
are
not
Angels
of
light
;
nor
they
Devils
;
you
are
all
men
;
Englishmen
,
weak
and
sinful
men
:
You
have
personal
gifts
,
but
an
ill
state
:
They
have
personal
defects
;
they
have
a
better
state
;
an
outward
at
least
:
They
are
upon
the
foundation
of
Law
;
whether
spiritually
or
no
,
is
the
question
:
It
is
not
with
you
,
it
may
he
found
among
them
:
You
have
suffered
,
they
have
suffered
:
But
they
are
not
better
by
sufferings
:
It
is
well
this
is
an
objection
;
for
by
this
there
appears
an
expectation
that
they
should
mend
:
Nor
are
you
better
by
mercies
:
And
mercies
,
are
more
Gospel
and
effectual
means
of
Grace
,
then
judgements
:
Israel
was
punished
,
and
was
worse
by
it
,
and
yet
not
utterly
rejected
:
You
suffered
for
conscience
,
so
did
they
:
But
their
sufferings
are
not
for
a
pure
conscidence
;
neither
are
yours
purely
for
conscience
:
Not
only
for
well-doing
;
there
is
a
mixture
in
both
yours
and
theirs
.
There
is
great
reason
,
why
you
should
come
to
know
one
another
,
for
one
Party
succeeds
another
,
and
is
content
to
let
the
other
be
their
rule
and
pattern
.
You
learned
of
your
enemies
,
lordlinses
,
gentility
,
wayes
and
forms
of
state
,
of
greatness
:
they
come
after
you
,
and
learn
your
wayes
,
of
finding
plots
,
disturbing
meetings
,
discountenancing
,
disgracing
,
imprisoning
Adversaries
:
They
are
,
and
do
now
,
where
you
were
,
and
as
you
did
,
not
long
since
:
They
ride
upon
you
,
as
you
rode
upon
them
:
They
crush
you
,
as
you
crushed
them
:
You
afflicted
and
vexed
them
,
they
do
the
same
things
to
you
:
Must
not
the
word
of
Christ
be
fulfilled
?

Judge
not
,
that
you
be
not
judged
:
For
with
what
judgement
you
judge
,
you
shall
be
judged
:
And
with
what
measure
you
mete
,
it
shall
be
measured
to
you
again
:
This
I
declared
to
you
,
when
you
began
this
judging
and
oppressing
way
;
that
it
would
return
upon
you
;
you
would
not
bear
then
;
will
you
understand
now
?
Then
know
this
,
and
let
all
men
learn
by
it
.
First
you
began
this
hardness
in
them
against
your selves
:
You
reap
what
you
sowed
;
spoyling
,
imprisonment
,
hatred
,
death
.
Secondly
,
God
acts
and
rules
in
all
mens
spirits
in
these
things
,
and
that
justly
,
and
therefore
be
not
wrathful
against
them
,
but
submit
to
God
in
it
:
The
Lord
hath
said
Curse
.
Thirdly
,
And
may
we
not
say
,
(
as
Rom.
11.28
.
)
They
are
enemies
for
your
sakes
,
but
as
touching
the
election
,
they
are
beloved
for
the
Fathers
sake
:
It
is
for
your
sakes
that
they
are
acted
thus
against
you
,
to
make
you
sensible
of
the
work
you
have
done
:
What
a
goodly
thing
it
is
to
ride
upon
men
;
and
to
watch
over
them
for
evil
?
When
you
come
to
a
right
sense
and
repentance
of
that
work
and
spirit
,
you
yet
glory
in
,
then
will
that
spirit
cease
to
afflict
you
;
because
it
is
for
your
sakes
:
For
God
delighteth
not
in
afflicting
:
If
he
doth
send
evil
,
it
is
for
good
:
As
it
is
the
just
fruit
of
your
own
doings
;
so
certainly
will
repentance
remove
it
:
Be
not
therefore
angry
at
the
hand
,
but
feel
the
staff
of
Gods
indignation
in
their
hand
:
And
when
you
come
to
mourn
over
your selves
,
that
you
have
been
so
acted
;
your
will
pitty
them
that
succeed
you
,
in
that
kind
of
employment
:
For
it
must
be
found
on
all
sides
,
to
be
but
a
sad
service
,
to
be
a
tormentor
of
others
:
And
when
you
come
to
pitty
them
,
that
they
should
be
made
enemies
for
your
sakes
;
that
they
should
be
made
a
rod
,
because
you
want
chastening
;
and
be
that
rod
to
you
,
that
you
were
to
them
:
You
will
then
see
,
that
both
you
and
they
are
beloved
for
the
Fathers
sake
;
neither
for
your
own
sakes
:
And
may
also
see
,
that
they
have
a
good
root
,
and
will
bring
forth
better
fruit
in
its
season
:
When
we
are
fit
to
partake
of
it
.

HAtred
so
blinds
men
,
that
they
know
not
themselves
,
nor
their
enemies
:
It
makes
men
worse
then
otherwayes
they
would
be
,
and
yet
to
think
better
of
themselves
then
ever
they
were
:
It
makes
men
think
their
enemies
worse
then
they
are
;
and
it
makes
those
enemies
worse
then
they
would
be
:
And
therefore
the
third
thing
follows
,
they
that
hate
their
Brethren
,
darkness
hath
blinded
their
eyes
,
and
they
know
not
whither
they
go
:
Enmity
is
of
the
Devil
,
and
he
is
in
darkness
,
God
hath
with-held
light
from
him
;
he
hath
neither
the
light
of
Christ
,
nor
of
Angels
,
no
nor
of
men
:
All
his
wayes
,
and
all
the
wayes
of
men
that
are
acted
in
his
spirit
,
are
most
irrational
and
absurd
things
:
All
men
,
so
far
as
they
are
led
by
malice
,
are
hurried
,
and
driven
,
by
the
wrath
of
God
,
blowing
up
their
passions
,
unto
unreasonable
things
,
without
any
judgement
or
understanding
.
Let
us
look
back
upon
our
wars
:
Did
any
of
us
know
,
when
we
begun
,
whither
we
should
go
?
or
did
we
once
dream
or
imagine
the
things
we
have
since
done
?
and
the
strange
paths
we
have
trodden
?
Have
we
not
been
driven
beyond
all
our
purposes
,
Declarations
and
Vows
,
into
crooked
and
contrary
wayes
▪
which
our
Reason
and
Religion
did
at
first
condemn
;
and
will
again
,
when
we
recover
either
the
one
or
the
other
▪
Was
there
ever
such
a
heap
of
inconsistencies
and
independencies
?
such
a
mass
of
confusion
in
Church
and
state
?
And
if
we
were
blinded
then
,
we
are
so
still
,
if
we
persist
:
For
we
are
not
better
,
but
worse
now
,
then
at
first
;
we
have
multiplied
notions
and
opinions
,
but
have
decayed
,
both
in
innocency
and
love
:
We
were
then
more
simple
,
more
moderate
,
and
less
guilty
and
bloody
.
And
are
now
more
enraged
,
more
hardened
,
and
more
polluted
;
Therefore
the
further
we
go
in
this
way
,
the
worse
we
are
,
and
the
deeper
shall
we
plunge
our selves
in
misery
.
The
whole
Party
that
stand
out
in
opposition
to
the
present
Governors
and
Government
of
the
Nation
,
are
divided
in
all
things
;
and
in
the
kind
or
degree
at
least
of
their
enmity
:
Some
are
more
gross
and
carnal
,
and
thirst
for
war
and
blood
:
but
many
are
taken
off
in
part
,
from
hopes
of
any
good
by
war
,
but
yet
their
spirits
are
still
in
enmity
;
preaching
against
,
praying
against
,
or
cursing
,
reviling
and
condemning
them
,
as
enemies
to
God
and
his
people
;
and
denouncing
and
expecting
judgements
from
heaven
against
them
.
Both
these
are
of
the
same
nature
,
are
from
the
same
root
or
fountain
,
and
will
,
If
there
be
occasion
,
fall
into
the
same
Channel
:
Indeed
all
strife
and
envy
,
though
it
be
but
in
the
heart
,
yet
it
is
in
the
judgement
of
the
holy
Apostle
James
,
chap.
3.15
.
earthly
,
sensual
and
devilish
:
And
therefore
it
doth
darken
,
pollute
and
defile
the
soul
:
And
by
how
much
more
inward
or
seeming
spiritual
it
is
,
it
is
by
so
much
the
more
dangerous
;
because
more
devilish
:
And
being
so
,
no
man
can
command
it
;
it
will
master
every
mind
in
which
it
is
,
and
lead
him
at
last
to
carnal
wayes
,
if
it
be
not
outwardly
restrained
:
'
For
he
that
will
curse
,
will
also
destroy
:
And
he
that
doth
the
greater
,
what
should
hinder
him
to
do
the
less
?
They
that
condemn
men
to
Satan
and
to
hell
,
they
will
hardly
forbear
killing
of
them
,
if
they
have
power
and
opportunity
:
or
doing
such
mischief
,
as
their
hatred
directs
them
to
.
The
root
of
all
this
is
the
Serpent
:
Out
of
the
Serpents
root
,
comes
forth
a
Cockatrice
,
and
his
fruit
a
fiery
flying
Serpent
:
from
this
root
the
Serpent
shoots
forth
this
hissing
Adder
or
Cockatrice
of
cursing
:
And
the
fruit
is
a
fiery
flying
Serpent
:
the
former
soon
gets
wings
,
and
flames
out
in
open
hostility
.
I
aim
at
no
less
then
the
root
of
this
hatred
●n
all
men
,
the
Devil
:
And
finding
,
that
he
hath
at
last
taken
Sanctuary
in
Religion
,
and
the
profession
thereof
;
and
hath
therein
acted
with
so
much
vigor
and
security
:
I
must
pursue
him
into
your
heart
and
spirits
:
It
is
his
main
fort
;
Zeal
for
God
and
his
Cause
:
if
we
can
heat
him
hence
,
we
shall
hope
to
drive
him
out
of
the
earth
:
For
if
this
hold
,
be
taken
from
him
,
he
will
have
very
little
strength
to
make
resistance
any
where
else
:
That
this
enemy
is
amongst
you
,
we
have
sufficient
,
proof
:
We
follow
him
by
a
train
of
blood
,
and
by
the
track
of
all
the
beasts
his
companions
;
pride
,
covetousness
,
falshood
,
self-seeking
:
And
we
see
the
smoak
of
his
confusion
,
and
hear
the
noise
of
his
violence
among
you
:
Therefore
you
must
endure
to
be
assaulted
and
searched
▪
I
know
it
will
cost
you
dear
,
it
will
shake
the
whole
frame
and
foundation
of
your
Religion
,
to
have
him
quite
destroyed
in
you
;
it
did
so
in
me
;
his
root
lies
deep
:
But
if
you
can
bear
the
tryal
,
and
become
free
from
this
soul
enemy
your
persons
and
gifts
will
shine
in
the
true
and
everlasting
glory
of
the
Lamb
of
God
:
Possibly
you
may
have
the
honour
of
yielding
up
and
slaying
the
last
and
greatest
strength
of
this
enemy
of
mankind
.
I
am
satisfied
that
the
horns
of
his
beastly
power
are
both
sawn
off
,
and
scattered
:
And
that
the
Lamb
of
God
is
conqueror
;
and
doth
begin
already
to
bud
and
spring
forth
in
many
persons
,
who
do
abhor
the
filth
and
deceit
of
war
,
blood
and
wrath
:
And
do
see
that
nothing
springs
from
thence
,
but
mischief
and
confusion
:
To
help
forward
the
birth
of
this
spirit
of
love
,
and
to
guide
your
feet
in
a
way
of
peace
;
have
I
engaged
in
this
discourse
:
It
will
be
an
honourable
and
lasting
conquest
to
overcome
him
:
He
hath
betrayed
and
spoyled
all
other
your
conquests
:
Now
we
shall
be
revenged
on
him
:
and
destroy
him
,
who
hath
destroyed
by
you
;
and
then
destroyed
you
also
.
I
suppose
there
is
a
rich
treasure
of
life
,
righteousness
,
and
holiness
,
hid
in
the
nature
of
man
:
Yea
I
know
it
,
and
am
one
with
it
:
Even
the
very
Kingdom
of
God
is
amongst
us
and
in
us
:
This
rich
treasure
hath
come
forth
in
profession
name
and
prophesie
,
in
your
spirits
:
But
it
hath
miscarried
and
faln
short
:
This
is
certainly
from
this
evil
one
;
it
is
he
that
hath
done
you
this
michief
:
And
it
is
he
amongst
your selves
:
For
an
open
enemy
could
not
hurt
you
,
could
not
stand
before
you
:
It
is
he
that
hath
betrayed
you
:
His
great
strength
lies
in
enmity
,
whereby
he
brings
darkness
,
confusion
and
every
evil
work
:
You
know
,
confusion
and
enmity
,
divided
,
distracted
and
ruined
you
:
What
need
we
any
plainer
evidence
?
Therefore
it
must
be
enmity
and
hatred
that
hath
destroyed
you
:
And
it
must
be
victory
against
him
and
it
,
that
must
save
you
:
We
have
already
shewed
you
,
that
hatred
,
though
it
begin
against
those
that
are
further
off
,
yet
it
will
not
stay
there
:
If
it
be
admitted
,
it
will
reign
.
He
that
will
hate
any
man
,
because
he
differs
from
him
,
or
because
he
is
sinful
;
will
hate
his
nearest
friend
,
because
he
may
and
doth
differ
,
and
is
sinful
:
He
that
to
preserve
himself
and
his
own
way
of
Religion
,
will
destroy
a
Cavaleer
,
will
upon
the
same
ground
,
destroy
a
Presbyterian
,
Independant
or
Quaker
;
and
consequently
all
that
oppose
him
:
Indeed
,
he
that
will
not
suffer
for
sinners
,
for
enemies
,
must
resolve
to
kill
all
sinners
and
enemies
,
or
all
that
will
not
conform
to
him
:
Therefore
it
is
the
same
enmity
,
wherewith
you
prosecuted
your
first
enemies
and
your
brethren
:
the
very
same
violence
and
self-love
,
that
enraged
you
against
them
,
kept
you
from
agreeing
one
with
another
:
And
the
same
conceits
,
that
you
were
the
people
of
God
,
and
that
yours
was
the
only
way
of
God
;
that
made
you
abjure
and
renounce
the
King
and
Church
:
the
very
same
opinion
and
confidence
,
made
you
oppose
one
another
:
Each
man
being
confident
,
his
own
way
,
was
the
only
way
,
made
you
unyielding
one
to
another
:
For
that
which
will
not
submit
to
any
thing
,
but
what
is
Gods
mind
,
and
what
he
knows
to
be
Gods
mind
,
must
necessarily
oppose
every
man
that
differs
from
him
:
You
know
whereunto
this
tends
:
And
therefore
there
can
be
no
peace
,
but
in
that
love
,
which
can
bear
with
that
,
which
to
him
doth
not
appear
to
be
Gods
mind
,
or
can
submit
to
them
that
do
not
in
all
things
the
holy
and
perfect
will
of
God
:
And
if
we
have
so
much
love
and
pitty
,
as
to
bear
them
that
do
err
in
a
little
;
if
we
have
more
love
,
we
may
bear
them
that
err
much
:
The
truth
is
,
we
must
either
quarrel
with
all
;
or
bear
the
weakness
of
all
,
in
love
to
all
.
It
is
therefore
this
enemy
that
hath
abused
you
,
and
misled
you
,
into
those
dark
wayes
in
which
you
now
he
:
Hitherto
you
have
not
known
whither
you
have
gone
;
he
perswaded
now
by
light
,
reason
,
and
experience
,
not
to
follow
him
,
who
draws
you
into
a
snare
,
and
there
spoils
you
of
your
peace
and
safety
.
We
suppose
you
are
travelling
towards
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
:
I
believe
you
would
see
him
upon
the
throne
:
The
enemy
tells
you
,
These
men
that
you
oppose
,
hinder
him
and
his
Kingdom
;
and
that
by
their
destruction
,
Christ
shall
be
exalted
:
You
are
herein
quite
out
of
the
way
to
his
Kingdom
.
First
,
While
you
seek
to
gain
a
Kingdom
for
him
;
you
deny
to
acknowledge
that
Kingdom
,
which
his
Father
hath
already
given
him
:
He
is
set
down
upon
his
Fathers
Throne
:
And
that
throne
is
everlasting
:
You
may
therefore
seek
a
Kingdom
for
your selves
,
but
not
for
him
;
And
in
doing
so
,
you
do
both
deny
,
and
resist
his
Kingdom
:
And
fight
with
him
,
because
he
doth
not
set
you
up
with
him
.
Secondly
,
His
Kingdom
is
first
in
patience
:
The
Kingdom
and
patience
of
Jesus
:
And
a
blessed
Kingdom
it
is
,
to
rest
in
suffering
:
They
that
are
truly
Kings
with
him
,
have
the
Kingdom
in
themselves
;
and
first
enjoy
it
on
the
Cross
;
triumphing
there
:
They
who
by
the
riches
of
their
natures
,
or
by
God
in
them
,
can
enrich
poverty
,
make
bonds
free
;
that
can
live
in
death
,
love
and
bless
enemies
,
they
are
fit
to
raign
:
For
when
such
come
to
the
Kingdom
,
they
will
enrich
,
save
,
bless
and
do
good
to
all
,
and
hurt
none
:
But
they
that
cannot
bear
the
worst
of
evils
among
men
,
will
themselves
be
a
burden
to
men
,
if
they
get
to
the
throne
:
The
good
God
who
loves
man
,
proves
and
tries
his
own
Son
,
before
he
gives
him
the
Kingdom
:
And
will
not
commit
the
Government
to
him
,
till
he
hath
found
that
he
can
be
happy
without
it
:
till
he
can
glory
on
the
Cross
:
till
he
can
die
for
others
,
and
be
more
happy
in
laying
down
his
life
and
honour
for
them
,
then
in
receiving
honour
from
them
:
This
Lamb
doth
overcome
:
For
he
is
King
of
Kings
:
He
hath
the
Kingdom
of
God
in
him
,
and
therefore
all
Kingdoms
in
his
nature
:
And
needs
not
take
from
others
,
but
gives
to
others
:
And
they
that
are
with
him
,
are
(
as
he
is
)
called
,
faithful
and
chosen
:
They
do
partake
of
his
royal
nature
,
and
are
called
,
to
suffer
and
to
raign
:
And
in
both
are
faithful
,
and
therefore
chosen
to
it
,
they
strive
not
for
it
.
Thirdly
,
That
only
is
mighty
,
and
shall
raign
,
that
hath
power
with
God
:
They
that
will
overcome
any
thing
truly
,
must
overcome
him
;
because
his
is
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
power
,
and
the
glory
:
Now
nothing
prevails
with
him
,
but
Lamb
;
absolute
and
perfect
subjection
to
him
,
hath
only
power
with
him
:
And
therefore
none
shall
or
can
raign
with
him
;
but
they
that
will
not
resist
him
,
nor
any
power
that
he
sets
up
over
them
:
For
whosoever
resisteth
the
power
,
resisteth
the
Ordinance
of
God
,
Rom.
13.2
.
By
this
Christ
overcame
,
and
is
set
down
upon
the
throne
:
And
by
the
same
Lamb
,
nature
keeps
what
he
got
;
for
this
only
is
invincible
and
eternal
:
If
you
had
all
the
force
of
England
,
and
of
the
whole
earth
,
yea
of
all
the
Angels
;
you
could
not
keep
it
,
it
would
all
ruine
and
destroy
it self
,
if
you
had
it
not
,
in
the
Lamb
:
for
nothing
can
possibly
subsist
in
the
nature
of
God
,
or
upon
the
throne
of
God
,
but
this
meek
,
patient
Lamb
:
For
it
is
eternally
subjected
to
God
,
and
therefore
he
is
eternally
pleased
with
him
,
and
eternally
honours
him
.
Fourthly
,
The
Lamb
is
King
of
Kings
,
and
Lord
of
Lords
:
His
Kingdom
is
on
high
,
higher
then
the
Kings
of
the
earth
;
their
glory
,
riches
,
titles
and
honours
are
below
him
,
they
are
his
servants
or
children
:
And
therefore
he
cannot
set
himself
to
oppose
them
;
nor
can
any
that
have
his
spirit
:
These
low
contests
of
war
,
are
the
business
of
earthly
and
sensual
men
;
that
live
in
the
mire
and
dirt
of
the
world
;
who
are
hurt
and
offended
,
with
each
others
wayes
and
passions
:
But
he
is
on
high
,
and
so
are
they
that
raign
with
him
;
beyond
the
reach
of
all
these
things
:
He
is
over
them
all
;
and
gives
these
Kingdoms
to
whom
he
please
:
And
when
he
hath
given
,
will
defend
and
protect
in
that
gift
,
as
long
as
he
please
,
and
in
what
way
he
please
:
And
they
that
are
with
him
,
are
called
;
to
know
what
he
doth
,
and
do
as
he
doth
:
Therefore
if
you
seek
for
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
you
must
ascend
by
suffering
,
into
this
glory
;
from
whence
all
men
receive
,
all
their
honour
,
power
and
riches
:
And
then
you
will
cease
contending
with
that
which
he
gives
.
Fifthly
,
Christ
is
now
in
the
exercise
of
his
Kingdom
upon
you
,
and
you
are
his
subjects
and
servants
;
now
under
his
rod
and
iron
scepter
:
He
hath
brought
you
down
,
and
set
up
those
that
you
would
destroy
:
And
is
,
you
know
,
righteous
and
just
in
it
:
You
are
under
the
justice
of
his
Kingdom
;
and
the
first
true
and
pure
sense
you
shall
have
of
his
Kingdom
,
is
of
the
wrath
of
it
:
You
may
talk
of
his
glory
,
but
must
come
to
feel
his
anger
,
be
pleased
with
it
,
submit
to
it
,
and
rest
in
it
,
before
you
come
to
enjoy
his
love
:
This
I
can
affirm
upon
certain
knowledge
and
experience
:
That
if
you
will
not
embrace
and
kiss
this
his
judgement
,
you
shall
never
rise
higher
,
neither
in
heaven
nor
in
earth
:
Therefore
know
he
raigns
now
in
righteousness
,
and
give
him
that
glory
that
is
due
to
him
;
give
him
glory
,
by
taking
shame
before
all
the
world
:
That
glory
you
may
give
him
;
and
it
is
all
the
Kingdom
you
or
any
flesh
can
give
Christ
,
to
suffer
from
him
:
But
to
think
that
as
soon
as
you
attain
a
notion
of
his
Kingdom
,
and
a
weak
one
,
that
presently
you
must
have
share
with
him
in
it
,
is
high
presumption
:
For
man
or
flesh
,
to
think
to
have
it
with
him
,
is
to
take
it
from
him
,
if
they
could
.
Therefore
you
are
miserably
deceived
,
by
the
Prince
of
darkness
,
and
deluded
by
him
:
he
would
perswade
you
,
that
you
are
for
Christ
and
his
Kingdom
,
when
indeed
it
is
for
your selves
and
your
own
advancement
:
You
are
perswaded
,
that
you
would
exalt
him
,
and
set
him
upon
the
Throne
;
whereas
he
is
already
upon
the
Throne
,
judging
you
and
that
carnal
mind
:
You
can
give
him
no
Kingdom
;
you
may
acknowledge
the
Kingdom
he
hath
:
Indeed
if
any
will
give
him
a
Kingdom
,
they
must
give
of
their
own
:
If
then
you
had
a
glory
and
a
Kingdom
,
and
could
lay
it
down
for
him
and
to
him
;
you
might
then
be
said
to
exalt
Christ
:
And
so
far
as
you
can
bear
this
rejection
that
you
are
under
,
and
publickly
justifie
him
,
and
condemn
your selves
and
the
state
and
spirit
,
in
which
you
stood
and
acted
,
as
unworthy
to
stand
up
in
his
name
and
presence
:
So
far
you
will
give
him
glory
,
and
make
him
to
be
honoured
and
feared
in
the
world
:
Could
you
and
I
come
forth
,
and
openly
declare
,
that
God
may
use
us
,
and
all
men
,
and
all
our
Zeal
and
Religion
,
in
what
service
he
please
:
But
that
he
will
not
suffer
,
either
us
,
or
any
other
to
raign
with
him
:
so
long
as
any
thing
of
a
private
,
self-seeking
,
proud
or
cruel
spirit
remains
in
us
:
This
lively
and
experimental
testimony
will
make
him
to
be
honoured
and
feared
.
And
should
I
and
you
say
and
confess
,
that
the
blessed
God
,
hath
such
love
to
mankind
,
that
he
will
suffer
neither
me
nor
you
,
to
have
place
in
his
Church
,
till
we
can
love
and
forgive
all
;
and
bear
the
sins
and
curse
of
all
men
:
We
shall
thereby
render
him
loved
and
honoured
:
For
this
indeed
is
,
and
alwayes
was
his
mind
:
he
would
not
give
the
Kingdom
to
Jesus
,
till
he
manifested
this
spirit
in
him
;
neither
did
Christ
desire
it
upon
any
other
terms
:
You
may
speak
and
do
as
you
will
;
but
this
is
my
sense
and
experience
:
Therefore
God
hath
brought
me
down
,
and
made
me
taste
death
again
and
again
,
because
he
will
not
endure
me
to
stand
or
to
minister
before
his
Throne
,
till
I
can
bear
and
forgive
all
the
folly
and
sin
of
those
,
to
whom
I
minister
:
And
till
by
frequent
deaths
,
and
rejection
,
he
hath
killed
that
root
of
enmity
to
men
,
that
curses
them
;
and
brought
forth
that
love
that
can
be
accursed
for
them
;
It
is
his
way
,
it
is
his
nature
,
he
dealt
so
with
Christ
,
and
therefore
must
be
justified
and
honoured
for
it
:
And
so
I
do
with
my
soul
:
And
desire
office
and
employment
in
his
Church
,
upon
no
other
terms
:
Blessed
for
ever
be
his
holy
name
for
it
,
in
my
heart
:
And
blessed
be
his
name
,
in
this
Church
and
Nation
:
And
let
all
his
people
say
Amen
:
For
he
will
establish
only
such
ministers
over
them
in
his
house
,
as
are
of
his
,
and
his
Sons
mind
and
spirit
.
God
may
and
doth
for
a
time
employ
other
spirits
,
to
do
baser
services
,
to
break
,
afflict
and
punish
,
so
long
as
there
is
proud
flesh
to
be
subdued
:
But
none
shall
be
admitted
to
minister
healing
,
life
and
salvation
,
but
such
as
are
of
this
spirit
:
The
form
or
title
is
title
,
and
the
question
is
not
great
,
who
or
which
?
But
this
is
the
Nature
and
Spirit
chosen
of
God
,
to
rule
his
people
.
Lastly
,
Let
me
assure
you
,
under
the
word
and
oath
of
Jesus
:
Verily
,
verily
,
except
you
be
born
again
,
you
cannot
see
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
Joh.
3.3
.
Except
you
be
born
out
of
this
earthly
,
sensual
darkness
,
into
heavenly
light
;
out
of
this
heathenish
or
legal
spirit
,
into
the
largeness
of
heaven
;
you
cannot
so
much
as
see
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
so
long
as
you
think
that
it
consists
in
a
multitude
of
prayers
,
in
the
opening
of
Scriptures
,
in
fleshly
striving
for
earthly
liberty
,
and
earthly
power
;
you
do
not
,
you
cannot
see
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
Alas
,
you
admire
your selves
,
your
zeal
and
intentions
,
your
gifts
and
notions
;
But
what
are
those
to
the
Kingdom
of
Jesus
Christ
?
which
is
over
all
things
in
heaven
,
in
earth
,
and
under
the
earth
:
Over
all
things
,
first
in
heaven
,
He
employes
innumerable
Angels
,
and
all
their
holiness
,
power
and
light
,
in
distinct
ages
and
places
:
And
brings
them
forth
successively
,
to
act
their
parts
,
and
to
shew
the
utmost
of
their
strength
and
wisdom
in
governing
the
world
:
And
when
he
hath
done
with
them
,
folds
them
up
as
a
vesture
,
layes
them
aside
,
and
changes
them
for
others
:
Possibly
all
that
you
have
attained
to
,
may
not
amount
tb
one
Angel
:
Be
it
what
it
will
,
you
cannot
but
confess
,
one
Angel
may
do
as
much
and
more
,
know
as
much
and
more
,
speak
as
much
and
more
,
then
all
you
have
done
:
And
that
in
greater
holiness
,
purity
,
brightness
and
majesty
:
And
when
he
hath
done
it
,
must
bow
down
and
be
dismissed
:
Why
then
should
you
be
troubled
at
the
fall
of
your
works
?
Secondly
,
Christs
Kingdom
extends
to
all
men
,
in
all
Nations
:
He
hath
power
to
spirit
and
anoint
all
men
,
with
what
spirit
he
please
,
to
sanctifie
them
and
gift
them
;
either
as
heathens
,
so
he
did
Cyrus
and
his
Medes
;
or
as
Jews
,
so
he
did
Saul
;
or
as
Christians
,
so
he
did
the
Saints
of
old
:
And
yet
none
of
them
must
raign
,
only
minister
,
and
serve
in
those
spirits
.
He
hath
laid
infinite
variety
of
gifts
in
mans
nature
,
and
knows
how
to
use
them
all
,
and
will
have
a
time
for
every
purpose
:
And
as
he
will
draw
out
the
good
of
every
man
,
of
what
degree
soever
;
so
the
evil
of
every
man
:
All
mens
lusts
and
corruptions
,
must
be
drawn
out
and
judged
:
In
one
state
of
things
,
mens
Religion
and
Gifts
lie
uppermost
,
and
cover
their
sins
;
that
Religion
must
have
a
time
to
work
,
and
have
honour
or
reward
for
that
work
;
and
when
it
is
worn
out
,
it
must
,
as
an
old
garment
,
be
laid
aside
.
And
then
that
evil
that
is
under
that
form
of
Godliness
,
must
be
seen
,
shewed
forth
and
punished
:
In
another
state
,
the
good
may
lie
under
the
evil
:
God
hath
a
work
and
an
object
prepared
for
that
evil
;
when
its
work
is
done
,
then
the
good
will
rise
,
and
have
its
time
and
place
.
Thirdly
,
As
Christ
rules
all
Angels
and
men
,
so
all
Devils
,
all
infernal
spirits
,
and
will
bring
them
forth
,
out
of
the
bottomless
pit
,
into
his
own
House
and
City
,
and
give
them
their
time
and
place
,
to
shew
forth
all
the
evil
that
is
in
them
:
And
thereby
judge
them
,
and
then
cast
them
into
the
Lake
of
fire
for
ever
:
And
there
are
various
sorts
and
kinds
of
flesh
,
or
humane
weakness
,
for
them
to
feed
upon
,
in
the
nature
of
man
:
What
is
theirs
,
they
do
challenge
,
and
must
have
;
first
for
words
and
actions
,
and
then
for
shame
and
punishment
:
And
if
we
do
in
the
least
,
see
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
;
we
shall
be
content
to
take
our
lot
in
any
of
these
,
or
in
all
of
them
,
as
it
pleases
God
to
dispose
of
us
:
If
your
minds
were
enlarged
into
the
sight
and
view
of
the
greatness
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
the
continuance
of
it
in
all
ages
,
everlastingly
,
you
would
,
with
submission
and
joy
consider
,
and
behold
the
present
works
of
God
upon
your selves
and
upon
the
Nation
:
But
so
long
as
you
are
shut
up
in
that
narrow
spirit
,
and
limit
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
to
such
a
poor
,
inconsiderable
,
temporary
thing
,
as
your
present
dispensation
and
service
,
you
cannot
understand
any
thing
of
it
:
Therefore
know
,
that
you
are
in
darkness
,
and
know
not
whither
you
go
;
you
are
quite
out
of
the
way
to
Christs
Kingdom
.
SECT.
XIII
.
WE
will
suppose
likewise
,
that
you
do
desire
holiness
,
and
that
your
trouble
is
,
either
that
you
,
or
the
Nation
is
no
more
holy
:
And
therefore
in
zeal
for
reformation
,
you
go
forth
against
the
present
state
of
things
,
as
unholy
,
denouncing
wrath
against
it
,
and
seeking
the
destruction
of
it
:
Herein
likewise
you
are
extreamly
blinded
by
enmity
:
For
,
First
,
That
holiness
which
you
profess
,
and
in
which
you
live
,
is
not
the
holiness
of
Christ
,
you
are
not
holy
as
he
is
holy
;
and
therefore
it
cannot
stand
before
him
:
it
neither
is
,
nor
shall
be
,
accepted
,
to
raign
with
him
:
It
may
do
him
service
,
be
a
scourge
in
his
hand
;
it
may
stand
before
men
,
before
worse
men
in
the
field
;
it
may
stand
before
mens
worldly
passions
and
lusts
;
before
the
Laws
of
men
,
and
their
punishments
:
It
may
stand
before
prisons
and
chains
;
yea
before
death
it self
:
And
so
will
the
holiness
of
moral
men
,
heathens
or
Jews
,
and
of
all
sorts
of
Christians
:
But
it
cannot
,
it
shall
not
stand
before
God
:
1.
It
is
impure
:
2.
It
is
imperfect
in
its
kind
:
3.
It
is
fleshly
and
fading
:
4.
It
is
not
an
holy
nature
:
5.
It
is
not
holiness
that
can
take
away
sin
:
6.
It
is
not
holiness
,
that
can
take
away
the
sins
of
the
world
:
And
therefore
not
the
holiness
of
God
and
Christ
.
Secondly
,
As
it
is
short
in
its
kind
,
and
insufficient
to
answer
the
perfect
and
good
will
of
God
,
either
in
your
own
souls
,
or
upon
the
Nation
;
so
it
is
corrupted
,
openly
defaced
,
and
for
guilt
rejected
:
Because
it
is
polluted
,
it
is
not
your
rest
:
To
abide
and
persist
in
a
way
and
state
disowned
and
refused
by
God
;
is
not
only
sloth
and
ignorance
,
but
unbelief
and
disobedience
:
God
never
pulls
down
one
dispensation
,
but
he
provides
another
:
If
you
were
not
intangled
in
your
self-righteousness
,
and
your
minds
not
captivated
by
Satan
;
the
very
principles
of
holiness
that
are
in
you
,
would
make
you
distaste
your
present
state
,
which
hath
been
proved
to
be
vain
and
false
,
and
full
of
opposition
and
contradiction
:
There
is
in
you
a
seed
of
truth
,
love
,
and
purity
,
which
must
make
you
loath
that
state
that
hath
been
and
is
found
by
constant
experience
,
unclean
,
formal
,
and
full
of
enmity
to
one
another
and
all
men
:
However
you
judge
of
me
,
as
unholy
,
I
must
te●l
you
,
I
have
a
long
time
,
not
only
witnessed
against
the
corruption
of
it
,
but
have
turned
from
it
;
even
from
the
best
of
what
is
abroad
,
of
every
sect
:
And
that
in
the
sincerity
of
my
love
and
affection
,
to
the
pure
and
holy
nature
of
Jesus
Christ
:
And
so
far
as
I
have
in
any
small
measure
partaked
of
his
holy
Spirit
;
I
have
born
your
iniquities
,
and
been
pressed
and
burdened
with
them
,
grieved
for
them
,
and
shamed
of
them
:
I
do
not
now
blame
you
from
a
common
or
humane
spirit
,
though
that
also
is
able
to
find
gross
defects
in
you
,
and
in
the
best
of
your
way
:
It
is
by
it
,
men
blame
you
:
And
you
by
it
,
blame
one
another
:
But
from
that
holiness
,
wherewith
I
stand
before
God
for
you
;
and
in
that
love
and
pitty
to
you
,
wherein
I
intercede
for
you
,
and
could
lay
down
my
life
for
you
:
I
may
say
more
;
For
I
know
and
find
that
none
comes
unto
the
Father
to
intercede
for
sinners
,
but
by
the
Son
:
both
in
the
name
and
spirit
of
the
Son
:
None
minister
truly
before
God
;
but
in
that
love
of
Christ
,
who
can
be
accursed
for
Brethren
.
From
deep
experience
of
God
,
of
my
own
soul
,
and
of
your
state
,
and
from
a
long
and
sore
travel
in
all
,
do
I
write
this
to
you
:
That
whatever
you
account
of
your selves
,
by
comparing
your selves
with
your selves
;
or
with
one
another
,
or
with
them
that
are
visibly
worse
then
you
:
Yet
when
you
shall
but
strive
to
enter
into
the
strait
gate
,
that
you
may
indeed
come
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
his
naked
face
and
presence
:
I
say
,
when
you
shall
but
seriously
and
in
truth
desire
it
,
and
press
after
it
:
you
will
abhor
your selves
,
and
that
kind
of
holiness
in
which
you
now
live
:
Yea
I
know
in
your
approaches
to
God
,
which
are
not
spiritual
,
naked
and
heavenly
,
but
earthly
,
fleshly
,
and
in
letter
or
image
only
;
yet
in
that
presence
of
God
,
which
you
enjoy
,
you
are
full
of
self-condemnings
,
and
self-upbraidings
:
But
that
being
but
an
out
ward
Court
,
into
which
your
Religion
brings
you
;
it
may
shew
you
the
outward
spots
and
blemishes
of
your
Religion
,
but
cannot
discover
to
you
,
the
root
and
bottom
of
the
evil
that
is
in
you
.
Thirdly
,
You
are
now
,
in
a
zeal
for
your
forms
of
worship
,
and
for
those
gifts
and
graces
that
attend
them
;
opposing
,
condemning
and
reviling
in
words
and
religious
exercises
(
to
what
that
tends
,
all
men
know
)
the
persons
,
ministry
and
worship
,
now
set
up
in
the
Nation
:
Against
these
you
run
headily
and
carnally
;
for
consider
what
you
oppose
,
not
Satan
in
these
persons
,
offices
and
worship
,
but
the
things
themselves
:
That
which
you
oppose
and
sight
against
,
being
outward
and
carnal
,
such
is
that
also
by
which
you
do
oppose
them
:
So
that
the
business
is
,
not
to
pull
down
sin
and
iniquity
,
and
set
up
holiness
;
but
to
pull
down
the
outward
power
,
means
and
ministry
of
the
Bishop
;
and
set
up
the
Pastor
:
In
truth
it
is
to
pull
down
them
,
and
set
up
your selves
.
This
being
a
carnal
and
fleshly
contest
,
(
though
covered
with
the
name
of
God
.
)
1.
It
is
unclean
.
2.
And
being
unclean
,
that
which
comes
from
it
must
needs
be
unclean
also
:
and
thereby
you
promote
,
not
holiness
,
but
the
contrary
sin
:
For
contention
and
war
have
done
,
and
still
do
,
wound
and
slay
the
holy
life
,
which
is
pure
and
peaceable
;
and
carnal
strife
wastes
the
meek
and
good
spirit
:
If
you
should
attain
what
you
aim
at
,
and
destroy
again
the
whole
outward
frame
of
Church
and
State
,
and
set
up
your selves
;
except
you
had
the
holy
and
mighty
Spirit
of
God
,
to
destroy
the
root
and
spirit
,
as
well
as
the
form
,
and
to
open
hell
,
and
shut
them
up
for
ever
,
as
the
Spirit
did
Christs
enemies
;
they
would
recover
again
,
as
they
have
done
:
But
such
a
Spirit
and
such
a
Power
you
have
not
;
I
suppose
if
you
could
damn
them
all
to
hell
presently
,
you
would
not
do
it
;
you
have
more
mercy
in
you
,
as
men
to
men
,
your
Brethren
:
And
I
am
sure
,
when
you
have
power
to
do
it
,
you
will
not
do
it
;
because
he
that
hath
power
to
do
it
,
will
not
,
doth
not
do
it
:
And
he
will
never
give
his
power
,
but
he
will
give
his
goodness
and
mercy
likewise
.
Again
,
if
you
could
thrust
out
them
,
and
,
exalt
your selves
and
way
in
their
place
,
how
would
holiness
be
advanced
?
It
would
be
but
one
thing
removed
,
and
another
of
the
same
nature
brought
in
:
for
it
is
of
the
same
kind
with
theirs
;
humane
,
earthly
,
and
living
in
the
same
region
,
else
it
could
not
sight
with
theirs
:
if
it
be
but
of
the
same
earthly
nature
,
it
must
needs
be
worse
,
not
better
;
because
it
rises
by
war
,
and
contention
:
And
therefore
must
needs
be
harder
,
sharper
,
and
more
cruel
;
and
thereby
suppresses
the
softer
;
and
attains
its
place
by
force
:
And
yet
when
you
have
done
this
,
except
you
have
a
more
holy
Spirit
,
to
guide
,
lead
and
unite
you
;
you
will
not
be
able
to
settle
your selves
.
It
is
a
tryed
and
judged
case
▪
that
this
spirit
in
which
you
act
,
hath
not
that
truth
and
power
,
that
can
wholly
destroy
what
is
;
nor
that
love
and
light
that
can
reform
it
;
nor
yet
that
wisdom
;
that
can
provide
a
better
:
And
therefore
,
you
did
overturn
this
Government
,
throw
it
in
the
dirt
,
and
leave
the
Nation
void
,
for
more
wickedness
to
enter
:
and
then
suffer
the
old
to
recover
,
maimed
and
broken
,
into
a
fouler
house
then
it
was
:
Or
else
you
must
go
on
to
perpetuate
and
establish
contention
and
confusion
in
the
Nation
:
This
is
both
reason
and
experience
;
and
may
convince
you
,
if
any
thing
will
.
If
you
have
not
a
more
holy
,
more
true
,
and
more
excellent
spirit
,
you
can
never
attain
what
you
seek
;
either
an
extirpation
of
this
Power
and
Government
,
or
establish
a
better
:
If
you
cannot
effect
this
,
you
will
but
fill
your selves
,
your
Religion
and
the
Nation
,
with
violence
,
fury
and
enmity
,
by
all
your
opposition
you
make
:
But
raise
a
deal
of
dust
,
to
blind
your
own
eyes
and
others
:
But
stir
and
provoke
black
and
malignant
spirits
,
both
in
you
and
against
you
,
as
you
have
done
.
And
if
you
had
that
holy
Spirit
,
which
only
can
prosper
you
in
such
an
undertaking
:
Then
I
am
sure
you
would
forbear
this
kind
of
carnal
and
wrathful
opposition
:
For
the
spirit
of
Christ
is
of
the
nature
of
Christ
,
most
holy
and
most
gentle
,
gracious
and
merciful
:
He
is
so
holy
,
pure
and
incorruptible
,
that
he
can
and
doth
make
these
things
,
uphold
them
,
and
walk
in
them
,
and
in
all
the
wayes
and
forms
of
men
;
in
the
midst
of
all
their
vanity
and
iniquity
;
and
not
be
defiled
with
them
:
And
this
Spirit
,
when
you
are
led
by
him
,
will
enable
you
to
live
,
either
above
them
,
or
besides
them
,
or
in
the
secret
of
his
Tabernacle
,
which
is
within
all
there
forms
;
and
that
with
purity
,
peace
and
content
:
And
this
Spirit
that
upholds
and
gives
being
to
all
forms
and
persons
;
doth
distinguish
and
perfectly
judge
,
between
the
good
and
the
evil
of
all
persons
and
things
;
and
doth
eternally
chuse
and
gather
unto
himself
,
that
which
is
holy
in
all
,
and
casts
the
chaff
and
dust
to
the
Serpent
,
and
him
and
it
,
into
the
Lake
of
fire
.
If
therefore
you
have
this
Spirit
,
and
will
do
that
visibly
,
which
he
doth
eternally
;
then
you
must
by
him
first
gather
all
these
things
,
and
all
the
parts
of
the
broken
Church
and
Nation
,
under
his
wings
;
that
he
may
do
with
our
Chaos
,
as
he
did
when
he
made
the
world
;
first
sustain
,
cherish
,
and
brood
upon
this
desolate
state
,
and
then
form
a
new
one
:
For
if
you
cannot
receive
all
into
your
hearts
,
and
bowels
of
love
,
you
will
never
renew
,
or
reform
any
thing
:
For
love
is
the
first
moving
cause
of
all
good
:
It
is
love
only
that
hath
in
it
that
mercy
,
that
life
,
that
goodness
,
that
can
heal
and
reform
the
poor
diseased
and
decayed
state
of
man
,
and
of
the
Church
.
This
excellent
divine
nature
of
God
,
Love
,
hath
rejected
with
indignation
,
your
harsh
and
severe
spirit
,
of
self-sasety
and
self-seeking
,
into
confusion
and
shame
:
And
hath
taken
the
work
out
of
your
hands
into
his
own
;
after
you
have
by
violence
and
unskilfulness
,
spoyled
,
wasted
and
ruined
,
he
will
himself
,
save
and
restore
:
And
in
order
to
it
,
takes
the
whole
frame
of
things
in
all
its
sin
,
death
,
curse
and
misery
,
both
persons
,
parties
,
forms
and
states
,
into
the
bowels
of
his
most
tender
compassions
;
into
himself
and
his
own
nature
,
life
and
being
,
who
is
Emanuel
,
God
with
us
:
In
our
flesh
,
and
so
in
and
under
our
sins
and
curse
;
bearing
of
them
for
us
,
and
from
us
:
He
hath
love
to
those
persons
that
you
would
destroy
,
finding
his
own
image
in
them
;
for
they
are
his
own
creatures
and
children
;
therefore
he
will
save
them
;
and
first
pardon
,
and
then
remove
their
iniquities
:
In
those
offices
,
that
you
would
destroy
,
he
knows
there
is
good
in
them
,
and
in
the
honour
and
riches
belonging
to
them
;
and
therefore
will
take
away
the
abuse
and
corruption
of
them
:
And
in
that
service
that
you
so
much
vilifie
,
there
is
heavenly
excellency
,
which
must
be
preserved
,
purified
,
enlightened
;
and
all
the
death
,
darkness
,
and
prophaneness
separated
from
it
;
The
holy
one
of
Israel
will
do
this
.
Therefore
to
conclude
this
point
of
holiness
,
you
may
and
must
know
,
That
you
were
sanctified
,
with
a
measure
of
gifts
,
for
a
service
for
the
execution
of
Gods
displeasure
:
Its
work
is
finished
,
the
gifts
corrupted
,
and
now
as
to
publick
work
upon
the
Nation
rejected
;
and
under
a
judicial
blindness
and
confusion
,
because
of
an
evil
spirit
that
did
and
doth
still
possess
them
:
It
is
the
righteous
judgement
of
the
Spirit
of
God
upon
them
:
who
hath
,
though
your
gifts
and
performances
be
many
and
solemn
,
cast
them
as
dung
in
your
faces
:
If
you
will
retreat
with
them
,
in
humility
and
repentance
,
to
attend
the
purifying
of
your
own
souls
,
and
the
purging
away
your
own
sins
,
you
will
find
mercy
to
your selves
.
But
if
you
think
by
them
,
to
exalt
your selves
again
,
into
dominion
and
power
in
the
Nation
;
you
will
but
involve
your selves
in
more
misery
and
wrath
;
and
like
a
Bull
in
a
net
,
entangle
your
souls
in
greater
errours
and
outward
troubles
:
The
holy
Spirit
(
I
know
and
have
felt
)
did
bear
you
a
long
time
,
as
a
heavy
burden
;
and
at
last
eased
himself
of
you
,
as
a
clog
and
cumber
to
him
:
And
now
I
with
joy
feel
that
he
is
free
to
exercise
his
own
power
,
to
effect
and
perfect
,
what
you
have
failed
in
:
It
will
be
your
only
safety
,
now
to
retire
,
into
deep
silence
and
humility
,
and
leave
the
Church
and
Nation
,
to
him
that
is
Lord
of
both
:
who
made
both
,
and
I
can
assure
you
,
will
perfectly
reform
both
.

BEsides
the
two
things
mentioned
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
of
holiness
,
there
are
some
other
things
,
that
you
have
sought
in
these
late
wars
,
which
are
still
in
your
minds
:
As
common
liberty
,
or
the
liberty
of
the
people
,
and
liberty
of
conscience
:
But
it
is
most
certainly
true
,
and
by
experience
now
manifested
,
that
these
things
are
not
in
that
spirit
,
in
which
you
have
acted
and
still
stand
:
Nor
is
this
way
of
strife
and
contention
,
the
way
to
obtain
them
.
,
but
the
contrary
:
For
as
war
and
enmity
is
against
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
which
is
a
Kingdom
of
peace
:
And
as
they
harden
,
pollute
,
and
vitiate
the
mind
of
man
,
which
is
contrary
to
holiness
:
So
they
do
naturally
exalt
will
and
force
,
rage
and
jealousie
,
and
so
must
necessarily
eat
up
and
devour
all
liberty
;
and
turn
all
into
the
worst
kind
of
tyrannie
;
if
the
Father
of
mercies
,
and
Spirits
,
doth
not
enlarge
,
mollifie
,
and
sweeten
the
nature
of
man
,
which
wrath
and
war
,
doth
imbitter
and
harden
.
It
is
true
,
common
liberty
is
written
,
in
the
common
nature
of
man
,
in
some
degree
;
though
it
be
very
weak
:
This
liberty
came
forth
in
you
,
in
notion
,
profession
,
and
affection
,
beyond
what
it
doth
in
other
people
;
and
it
hath
been
not
only
talked
of
,
but
desired
by
you
;
yet
that
spirit
in
which
you
rose
,
and
in
which
you
seek
it
,
hath
not
any
true
liberty
in
it
;
And
if
it
hath
not
liberty
in
it
,
it
can
neither
attain
it
for
you
from
others
,
nor
give
it
by
you
to
others
:
it
never
could
do
either
.
Mind
well
what
I
write
,
else
you
will
not
understand
it
:
For
it
is
,
I
know
,
besides
the
common
reason
and
apprehensions
of
men
,
and
therefore
seems
to
be
,
and
is
,
strange
to
the
dark
and
private
spirit
of
the
world
;
but
you
and
all
men
must
know
,
that
there
is
a
divine
reason
in
these
things
;
which
ought
to
be
,
and
therefore
shall
be
,
the
rule
of
mans
Reason
.
Know
then
first
,
That
we
began
our
wars
upon
this
principle
of
delivering
our selves
,
from
the
yoak
,
of
the
Law
and
Government
of
the
Church
and
Kingdom
;
being
of
another
spirit
and
way
from
them
:
And
upon
the
same
principle
of
self-safety
,
and
self-freedom
,
was
the
war
carried
on
;
and
the
whole
business
,
from
step
to
step
:
This
seemed
to
us
very
just
and
righteous
,
that
we
should
have
liberty
to
serve
God
,
according
to
what
light
and
understanding
he
gave
us
:
And
there
is
an
undoubted
right
in
it
:
Yet
we
see
to
what
infinite
confusion
,
and
strange
enmity
and
division
,
this
principle
hath
brought
us
:
And
therefore
there
is
some
notable
evil
,
either
in
the
principle
,
or
in
the
liberty
,
or
in
both
:
I
think
both
will
be
found
faulty
:
I
shall
only
charge
the
principle
(
that
is
)
our
seeking
self
liberty
,
or
liberty
for
our selves
.
Whatever
good
is
in
the
thing
,
it
doth
and
will
miscarry
,
so
long
as
it
is
upon
this
bottom
self
.
Such
is
the
large
and
good
nature
of
the
God
and
Father
of
all
,
that
he
will
blast
and
wither
every
private
and
particular
spirit
.
It
is
contrary
to
him
,
hath
no
root
in
him
,
and
therefore
though
he
do
sometimes
feed
it
awhile
,
and
make
use
of
it
,
yet
he
will
at
last
reject
it
;
and
never
suffer
it
to
stand
up
with
him
in
his
Kingdom
:
He
may
and
doth
admit
it
to
work
,
and
act
,
in
some
low
,
remote
,
and
dark
state
:
But
if
he
be
true
to
his
own
Good
nature
,
or
to
the
nature
of
his
Son
,
the
Saviour
of
the
world
;
he
must
not
admit
it
to
raign
with
him
,
nor
will
he
:
Yea
though
it
cloath
it self
with
salvation
,
either
of
our
own
,
of
others
souls
;
which
is
a
thing
most
agreeable
to
the
mercy
of
God
;
yet
will
he
never
save
any
in
that
spirit
:
But
resist
and
oppose
that
salvation
,
and
all
the
graces
and
gifts
whereby
men
seek
it
,
till
he
kill
that
root
of
self
:
For
he
hath
given
it
as
a
Law
to
Christ
,
and
so
by
Christ
to
men
;
he
that
will
save
his
life
shall
lost
it
,
and
he
only
that
will
lose
his
life
shall
save
it
:
It
was
the
great
lesson
he
taught
his
Son
,
and
the
first
that
Christ
teaches
his
Disciples
:
Let
him
deny
himself
:
If
Christ
and
his
Disciples
,
must
deny
so
excellent
and
holy
life
,
and
self
,
that
they
may
ascend
unto
the
Father
of
all
:
If
that
holy
and
blessed
state
must
be
abjured
and
renounced
,
and
so
come
to
the
curse
:
What
can
you
think
of
self-seeking
,
of
an
out
ward
liberty
and
freedom
,
from
outward
sufferings
?
it
is
no
wonder
to
see
tins
brought
to
shame
and
confusion
.
God
hath
pursued
this
root
of
self-seeking
,
even
in
spiritual
things
,
by
many
sore
and
severe
tryals
in
my
spirit
:
By
which
I
came
to
understand
what
an
irreconcileable
and
desperate
enemy
it
is
to
God
,
and
what
deadly
poyson
there
is
in
the
nature
of
it
;
and
how
dangerously
it
will
corrupt
the
best
things
in
men
:
Where
ever
it
is
admitted
,
it
will
and
doth
kill
the
life
of
Grace
,
if
God
kill
●ot
it
:
And
though
at
first
it
seem
zealous
and
holy
,
yet
it
will
break
out
into
gross
self-seeking
:
For
he
that
prayes
,
preaches
,
believes
,
studies
,
and
receives
the
promises
of
eternal
life
to
himself
,
or
to
a
party
,
which
is
but
a
large
self
;
will
at
last
in
all
things
,
mind
himself
;
and
so
will
be
cruel
,
covetous
,
ambitious
,
and
any
thing
that
self
suggests
to
him
:
And
this
I
find
to
be
the
root
of
all
that
narrowness
that
was
in
this
Party
,
and
of
that
gross
self-seeking
,
that
all
men
take
notice
of
:
There
is
at
the
bottom
of
the
whole
business
,
and
at
the
root
of
all
their
Religion
,
a
spirit
to
seek
their
own
salvation
,
liberty
,
exaltation
and
honour
:
And
being
fixed
and
bound
to
this
principle
,
they
could
never
enlarge
themselves
to
the
good
of
the
whole
;
nor
were
they
ever
capable
of
any
larger
principles
,
nor
can
they
be
,
till
this
state
be
slain
in
them
:
And
though
they
shift
from
one
thing
to
another
,
they
will
find
no
rest
,
till
they
subject
this
state
to
loss
,
and
thereby
come
to
partake
of
the
largeness
of
the
love
of
God
,
and
Christ
:
Who
teaches
us
to
seek
,
not
our
own
,
but
the
things
of
others
;
not
our
own
liberty
or
salvation
,
but
the
liberty
and
salvation
of
others
.
And
therefore
the
Lord
of
all
,
that
he
might
discover
,
judge
and
destroy
this
principle
,
so
contrary
to
his
own
love
and
life
,
hath
so
ordered
it
:
That
he
that
will
not
deny
himself
,
his
life
,
liberty
and
salvation
,
for
the
good
of
others
,
in
conformity
unto
Christ
,
and
in
obedience
to
his
Gospel
;
They
will
be
found
to
be
persecutors
,
cruel
destroyers
of
others
lives
and
liberties
;
and
so
be
brought
to
shame
and
destruction
:
They
that
will
not
suffer
for
,
and
from
others
;
others
must
suffer
from
them
:
And
they
that
cannot
give
their
life
,
will
take
away
others
life
:
It
is
and
will
be
resolved
into
this
;
that
men
must
either
live
in
the
merciful
and
saving
spirit
of
Christ
,
or
in
the
cruel
spirit
of
the
Devil
:
And
no
shew
or
form
of
godliness
,
nor
pretence
of
right
or
religion
,
can
evade
this
judgement
:
For
strong
is
the
Lord
that
thus
judges
.
It
is
therefore
evident
,
and
God
will
make
it
good
,
that
there
is
not
common
salvation
,
nor
good
will
to
man
,
in
any
private
spirit
of
any
Party
,
but
in
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
the
Saviour
of
the
world
:
And
that
this
true
publick
spirit
,
where
ever
it
is
,
it
shews
it self
by
this
,
it
will
suffer
for
and
from
others
,
and
not
make
others
suffer
from
it
;
it
will
and
doth
give
life
and
liberty
,
and
not
take
it
away
.
The
first
step
into
freedom
,
is
out
of
our selves
:
and
the
beginning
;
of
all
ingenuity
,
is
to
be
able
,
to
examine
,
try
,
and
judge
our selves
:
If
by
experience
,
and
by
what
is
here
written
you
attain
,
the
least
spark
of
true
freedom
;
and
can
but
reflect
upon
your selves
,
and
remember
the
first
rise
of
your
work
;
that
it
was
to
deliver
your selves
;
and
that
in
the
whole
progress
of
it
▪
it
was
terminated
and
bounded
in
self
,
either
in
a
finer
or
a
grosser
way
;
and
could
do
nothing
but
prefer
or
exalt
your selves
and
Party
,
or
them
that
would
confirm
and
strengthen
your selves
,
by
serving
of
you
:
And
that
all
the
while
you
were
busie
in
this
work
,
you
could
not
but
oppress
others
;
not
only
your
enemies
,
but
the
whole
Nation
:
And
that
none
of
you
could
ever
produce
any
publick
ease
,
liberty
,
or
advantage
to
the
people
;
but
on
the
contrary
,
taxes
and
burdens
:
If
you
have
but
so
much
ingenuity
,
as
to
judge
your selves
,
state
and
spirit
,
and
justifie
God
and
Christ
,
we
shall
soon
agree
:
If
you
do
so
,
and
come
forth
of
that
hole
,
that
pit
,
of
a
narrow
private
Religion
,
that
self
or
party
,
holiness
and
salvation
;
which
is
really
now
a
pit
and
snare
,
whatever
exaltation
it
hath
had
:
If
you
can
now
but
look
out
of
it
,
and
view
things
in
the
light
of
the
universal
goodness
of
God
,
your
reason
will
tell
you
.
That
for
you
that
are
but
a
small
part
of
the
Nation
;
it
may
be
a
tenth
;
either
for
number
or
quality
;
a
tenth
,
that
is
,
a
more
active
,
vigilant
,
more
spirited
part
of
the
whole
:
For
you
,
in
times
of
trouble
,
to
get
the
sword
into
your
hands
,
and
to
overthrow
the
Government
and
Governors
of
the
whole
;
which
the
whole
chuse
and
rest
satisfied
in
,
and
to
seclude
the
nine
parts
of
the
representative
of
the
whole
,
and
admit
:
of
none
to
rule
but
your
own
tithe
:
To
subdue
the
civil
Government
,
and
exalt
the
sword
:
To
depose
one
,
natural
,
chosen
,
beloved
;
and
one
in
judgement
and
affection
with
the
nine
parts
:
And
to
set
up
many
,
in
many
various
wayes
and
opinions
,
all
strange
to
the
whole
Nation
,
if
not
hated
:
And
to
impose
your selves
,
your
sense
and
reason
,
your
taxes
and
payments
,
with
your
religions
and
opinions
,
by
force
of
arms
upon
the
people
;
under
penalty
of
being
malignants
,
the
wicked
,
and
so
not
worthy
to
enjoy
any
priviledge
:
If
you
have
as
much
power
in
your
reason
now
,
as
you
had
once
in
your
swords
,
to
make
this
,
common
freedom
,
I
must
be
your
slave
,
and
the
whole
Nation
with
me
.
Suppose
you
intended
freedom
;
yet
good
meanings
or
intentions
must
not
justifie
ill
actions
:
Good
intentions
will
not
avail
in
a
mans
own
soul
;
much
less
save
a
Nation
:
They
are
false
intentions
,
if
the
thing
it self
intended
,
be
not
in
the
intention
:
If
the
thing
it self
be
there
,
it
will
wisely
direct
,
and
strongly
work
,
to
bring
forth
it self
,
and
will
not
miscarry
:
But
that
which
is
a
false
and
deceitful
intention
,
may
seem
to
aim
at
the
end
,
but
as
a
broken
bow
,
will
carry
the
arrow
to
another
mark
,
to
a
private
advantage
,
and
not
publick
freedom
:
But
suppose
that
indeed
you
were
publick
persons
,
and
had
the
good
of
the
whole
Nation
in
you
,
and
knew
it
before
you
offered
to
stir
;
which
to
this
day
,
you
cannot
own
:
Yet
would
you
think
to
beat
this
freedom
into
the
Nation
by
force
?
Freedom
is
not
freedom
,
if
we
be
compelled
to
it
:
You
never
learned
this
,
either
of
the
Law
or
Gospel
:
God
never
would
,
nor
did
offer
to
rule
over
any
,
but
by
their
consent
:
The
most
glorious
things
,
if
the
subject
be
not
disposed
,
prepared
,
and
so
opened
to
receive
them
;
are
and
will
be
a
torment
to
minds
averse
from
them
:
By
how
much
more
,
any
way
seems
to
have
more
light
and
strength
then
another
;
if
it
enforce
it self
upon
that
which
is
weaker
and
darker
,
it
is
more
injurious
,
then
for
the
darker
to
impose
it self
upon
the
stronger
:
Because
,
where
there
is
light
and
strength
,
they
are
more
able
to
bear
the
infirmities
and
burdens
of
the
weak
,
then
the
weak
is
able
to
bear
the
strong
:
They
that
have
light
and
strength
,
will
shift
well
under
the
darker
power
,
and
either
evade
the
force
,
or
live
and
thrive
under
it
:
But
if
a
weak
dark
people
,
come
to
be
ruled
by
the
force
of
a
more
knowing
,
they
have
nothing
to
support
them
,
but
must
sink
under
it
:
And
either
they
must
dissemble
and
be
hypocrites
,
or
be
sots
and
beaten
like
beasts
,
because
they
are
not
better
,
or
be
other-wayes
abused
and
enslaved
.
People
may
set
up
notions
of
things
to
please
their
fancies
,
or
to
colour
and
paint
a
business
:
But
for
the
Common-people
,
either
they
are
well
pleased
with
their
Government
and
Governours
,
and
so
quietly
rest
under
them
;
and
then
they
are
as
free
,
as
they
desire
to
be
;
and
so
they
are
,
having
liberty
to
buy
and
sell
,
to
purchase
and
enjoy
their
estates
:
Or
if
they
are
sensible
that
any
thing
oppresses
them
,
as
the
Government
of
England
is
by
Parliaments
,
they
have
power
to
free
themselves
,
by
chusing
such
Representatives
as
will
take
care
of
them
and
their
liberties
:
Liberty
is
for
men
,
not
beasts
;
beasts
must
be
yoaked
:
If
liberty
be
only
for
men
,
then
it
must
be
a
rational
liberty
,
a
freedom
for
reason
,
and
a
freedom
according
to
reason
:
And
if
according
to
reason
,
then
according
to
Law
and
by
consent
:
And
therefore
the
way
to
procure
such
a
liberty
,
is
not
by
war
,
which
exalts
force
,
and
deposes
reason
:
It
exalts
division
,
and
destroyes
agreement
:
And
there
is
no
liberty
,
but
where
there
is
a
free
exercise
of
reason
,
in
order
to
consent
:
And
that
to
my
knowledge
,
would
never
be
admitted
by
the
late
power
:
For
that
which
stands
by
force
,
dares
not
submit
to
reason
:
But
know
certainly
,
that
as
you
do
see
,
war
provokes
and
exasperates
mens
minds
into
rage
and
jealousie
,
and
pollutes
the
streams
of
Justice
,
filling
mens
hearts
with
cruelty
,
partiality
,
hardness
and
self-love
:
So
the
Spirit
of
God
,
in
the
shining
forth
of
general
love
and
light
,
into
all
persons
and
things
;
will
expell
the
darkness
,
and
consequently
the
cruelty
and
oppression
:
For
the
dark
places
of
the
earth
,
are
full
of
the
habitations
of
cruelty
,
Psal.
74.20
.
This
spirit
hath
sufficiency
of
light
and
love
,
to
expell
the
evil
one
,
out
of
the
whole
body
,
out
of
Governors
and
people
joyntly
:
And
will
not
set
up
one
against
another
:
the
people
against
the
Prince
,
or
the
Prince
against
the
people
:
Such
unskilful
Surgeons
,
wound
and
break
,
but
heal
not
:
The
wisdom
of
God
,
which
formed
all
out
of
himself
,
and
sustains
them
all
in
himself
,
hath
life
,
light
,
and
liberty
,
for
the
whole
in
himself
,
and
will
give
it
forth
to
all
parts
and
parties
.
SECT.
XV.
LIberty
of
Conscience
hath
been
a
great
plea
amongst
us
in
these
times
;
a
very
busie
body
in
our
troubles
:
Whence
he
comes
,
and
of
what
rase
he
is
,
I
believe
no
body
knows
:
If
he
can
avoid
examination
,
I
perceive
he
will
;
for
he
is
very
nice
and
tender
,
and
will
suffer
no
body
to
come
near
him
:
I
did
think
to
have
let
him
pass
,
because
as
soon
as
he
is
touched
,
he
will
clamour
:
Therefore
for
my
credit
,
I
thought
to
avoid
him
:
But
I
consider
again
,
that
it
is
not
just
,
out
of
fear
to
fly
any
subject
,
in
a
mans
discourse
,
if
it
lie
in
his
way
:
Therefore
if
I
will
be
true
to
my
own
mind
,
I
cannot
wholly
wave
him
:
I
must
a
little
try
him
;
or
at
least
examine
how
he
hath
behaved
himself
in
these
times
.
For
my
own
self
I
profess
,
an
universal
Liberty
for
all
forms
and
professions
,
from
the
Papist
to
the
Quaker
,
or
Fifth-monarchy
men
:
Because
I
know
there
is
some
good
in
all
,
and
therefore
have
a
love
to
all
,
not
only
of
pitty
,
to
the
worst
and
weakest
;
but
of
complacency
:
For
I
know
,
that
although
they
are
now
drawn
out
into
an
opposition
one
against
another
,
yet
truth
,
that
is
but
one
in
it self
,
is
divided
amongst
them
;
and
therefore
there
is
a
secret
union
betwixt
them
:
I
know
the
widest
meet
,
not
only
their
persons
in
one
life
;
but
their
opinions
in
one
reason
also
:
And
therefore
it
is
no
hard
matter
,
I
think
,
if
they
were
but
tractable
,
to
put
them
all
in
one
circle
;
where
the
extream
parts
would
meet
:
the
beginning
and
end
be
the
same
:
For
certainly
the
Quaker
,
is
a
kind
of
a
Catholick
,
and
the
Fifth-monarchy
man
is
a
kind
of
a
Papist
.
Another
reason
,
why
I
would
that
all
might
have
all
liberty
of
Conscience
,
is
,
because
I
know
there
is
that
reason
,
and
light
in
truth
and
power
among
us
,
which
is
able
both
to
subdue
and
unite
all
mens
consciences
:
For
conscience
is
but
one
,
and
truth
,
the
rule
of
conscience
is
one
also
.
It
is
true
,
there
is
great
confusion
among
us
,
and
therefore
abundance
of
error
;
which
shews
there
is
much
distemper
,
blindness
,
and
sickness
of
mind
:
Outward
punishments
enrage
and
obdurate
;
and
therefore
are
improper
remedies
for
diseased
minds
:
They
cannot
heal
the
understanding
;
but
they
may
,
and
do
harden
the
heart
,
against
them
that
inflict
them
:
and
so
confirm
and
strengthen
the
errour
and
distemper
,
and
fill
the
mind
with
more
enmity
,
and
consequently
with
more
blindness
:
How
much
is
poor
man
to
be
pittied
,
whose
zeal
for
God
and
the
worship
of
God
,
is
so
miserably
distracted
and
misled
;
as
to
be
made
use
of
,
only
to
destroy
one
another
:
And
that
Religion
,
which
is
the
Law
of
love
,
peace
,
and
salvation
,
should
become
the
great
engine
of
death
,
wrath
,
and
destruction
;
and
no
remedy
against
it
.
Sure
it
will
be
considered
,
That
truth
is
one
in
Christ
:
That
Jesus
is
the
head
of
man
;
and
that
mans
nature
,
reason
and
understanding
,
is
his
own
body
and
spouse
:
That
Religion
unites
and
binds
this
head
and
body
,
in
a
Covenant
of
marriage
:
That
love
,
life
and
truth
,
are
only
in
this
union
:
And
that
therefore
truth
,
life
,
and
love
,
are
together
,
and
they
that
leave
one
,
they
leave
all
:
If
so
,
then
they
that
love
not
,
err
from
the
truth
,
and
they
that
by
their
opinions
,
are
taught
to
hate
and
kill
,
live
neither
in
love
nor
truth
,
but
in
death
and
darkness
:
Error
and
enmity
do
destroy
,
and
they
that
do
destroy
,
are
most
in
destruction
;
because
to
them
may
be
applyed
that
title
given
to
Satan
,
Heb.
2.4
.
he
that
had
power
of
death
;
for
they
that
in
malice
inflict
it
,
have
power
of
it
.
All
truth
is
most
beautiful
and
lovely
,
even
unto
the
reason
of
man
;
and
all
errour
is
a
lye
,
and
monstrous
,
even
to
the
mind
of
man
:
both
in
it self
,
and
in
the
foul
and
devilish
effects
of
it
:
When
the
light
shall
shine
forth
to
manifest
this
,
men
will
of
themselves
fly
from
errour
,
avoid
hatred
,
and
love
the
truth
.
Satisfie
your selves
therefore
,
you
that
seem
to
be
zealous
for
truth
,
of
any
side
or
party
;
and
know
,
That
as
mens
souls
and
consciences
are
the
body
and
Spouse
of
Christ
;
so
they
are
his
care
and
charge
:
He
hath
with
him
a
Law
wherewith
to
govern
this
body
;
and
power
over
all
conscience
,
and
severe
punishment
,
for
them
that
are
proud
and
rebellious
:
He
hath
a
spiritual
Court
,
and
a
spiritual
Law
,
with
power
and
authority
,
to
execute
Spiritual
judgements
:
And
conscience
is
most
sensible
of
his
strokes
,
and
most
easily
subjected
to
him
;
and
therefore
will
be
ruled
by
him
:
To
him
it
doth
belong
to
do
it
,
and
to
him
alone
,
and
he
will
do
it
.
Upon
these
grounds
,
I
do
in
my
spirit
give
liberty
to
all
perswasions
,
having
a
perswasion
and
reason
that
comprehends
them
all
in
one
:
And
knowing
that
one
mercy
and
goodness
,
upholds
,
saves
and
forgives
all
;
and
that
one
truth
,
and
one
Gospel
,
is
under
all
,
and
in
all
:
And
being
sensible
,
of
that
one
enemy
,
that
doth
abuse
all
;
by
engaging
them
,
in
zeal
for
some
part
of
truth
,
against
their
brethren
;
knowing
likewise
that
light
,
that
will
scattter
this
darkness
,
and
unite
all
in
one
,
in
one
heart
,
and
in
one
way
:
These
things
being
true
,
there
is
reason
all
should
have
liberty
,
to
challenge
and
plead
their
right
,
in
order
to
agreement
:
Which
must
as
certainly
have
its
time
,
as
confusion
hath
had
his
time
.
There
is
order
,
in
and
under
this
confusion
,
and
will
arise
out
of
it
;
yea
this
confusion
,
is
to
this
end
,
that
a
more
large
and
excellent
love
and
light
might
come
forth
,
to
reduce
all
this
into
order
and
harmony
:
And
when
it
doth
manifest
it self
,
it
will
not
only
joyn
some
parts
,
that
are
nearest
one
to
another
;
but
will
unite
all
:
I
absolutely
think
it
impossible
,
to
make
any
true
union
betwixt
any
two
or
three
parties
or
sects
in
the
Nation
,
leaving
out
the
rest
;
as
it
is
impossible
to
build
an
house
,
of
some
parts
of
the
frame
,
of
some
posts
and
pillars
,
excluding
and
denying
other
parts
.
There
is
a
Church
of
England
,
or
in
England
(
it
is
I
think
all
one
)
:
If
ever
there
was
one
,
there
is
still
one
(
if
there
be
among
us
the
profession
and
Faith
of
Jesus
)
Because
the
Church
is
built
upon
a
rock
,
and
the
Gates
of
hell
cannot
prevail
against
it
:
If
hell
should
take
it
captive
,
and
either
carry
the
Church
into
hell
,
or
hell
come
forth
and
possess
the
Church
,
with
all
its
filthyness
,
wickedness
,
darkness
,
and
confusion
:
Yet
it
would
be
still
the
body
of
Christ
,
and
therefore
it
still
is
,
not
only
safe
in
all
this
;
but
beloved
and
honoured
by
him
:
Antichrist
may
and
doth
sit
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
defile
this
temple
of
God
,
but
it
is
still
the
temple
of
God
:
And
the
Gentiles
may
enter
into
the
holy
City
,
and
trample
it
underfoot
,
but
it
is
still
,
and
ever
shall
be
,
the
holy
City
.
If
we
deny
there
is
or
was
a
Church
,
I
am
sure
no
man
among
us
hath
power
to
plant
a
Church
:
For
no
Church
of
God
,
was
ever
planted
in
the
earth
,
but
by
power
and
authority
,
from
heaven
,
and
by
a
pattern
from
the
Mount
.
Men
cannot
so
much
as
repair
a
decayed
Church
,
without
an
heavenly
annointing
:
Therefore
if
there
was
no
Church
there
is
none
:
For
our
new
Churches
challenge
not
from
heaven
,
but
from
the
letter
.
If
there
be
a
Church
of
England
;
then
all
English
men
that
profess
faith
in
Jesus
are
members
of
it
;
Till
this
Church
cast
them
out
;
till
they
be
judicially
proceeded
against
;
by
the
Church
her self
:
Be
they
never
so
corrupt
,
they
are
corrupt
members
,
of
her
corrupt
body
;
till
she
recover
her
power
to
cast
them
out
:
And
she
and
all
her
parts
must
own
them
,
and
bear
them
,
and
all
their
filth
and
guilt
,
till
they
be
cut
off
.
It
is
not
in
the
power
of
any
parts
except
they
have
the
power
of
the
whole
,
to
cast
out
any
:
It
is
much
less
in
the
power
of
any
parts
,
to
cast
out
the
whole
Church
,
or
to
unchurch
the
Church
:
Nor
is
it
in
the
power
of
any
to
dismember
himself
:
they
may
like
froward
children
run
away
when
they
are
ill
used
,
but
that
doth
not
dissolve
the
relation
betwixt
parents
and
children
;
nor
acquit
either
from
their
duty
:
All
the
separations
,
and
abjurations
;
of
all
the
Independants
,
Anabaptists
,
and
Quakers
,
doth
not
make
them
no
members
of
the
Church
of
England
:
Neither
are
they
thereby
no
children
of
the
true
Fathers
of
the
Church
▪
Nor
must
we
therefore
cease
loving
of
them
instructing
of
them
,
because
they
have
like
the
prodigal
got
a
portion
,
and
gone
from
their
Fathers
house
:
If
the
relation
holds
,
the
duties
of
that
relation
,
will
be
required
;
of
Fathers
,
authority
,
wisdom
,
justice
,
and
love
;
and
of
children
,
obedience
,
and
subjection
;
And
no
ill
affection
or
desposition
,
can
dissolve
a
relation
;
An
ignorant
▪
weak
,
decayed
old
man
,
is
a
Father
;
and
a
forward
,
bold
,
rebellious
Son
,
is
a
Son
.
The
way
to
bring
wandring
sheep
to
the
fold
,
is
to
seek
them
out
.
And
the
way
to
reduce
prodigals
,
is
to
suffer
them
to
want
:
There
are
both
these
;
simplicity
to
be
sought
out
:
and
conceited
prodigality
,
and
this
will
starve
,
and
come
to
great
want
:
And
then
,
if
there
be
bread
in
our
Fathers
house
,
they
will
be
compelled
to
seek
it
:
I
know
certainly
,
they
will
be
in
great
necessity
,
of
spiritual
food
,
that
spend
so
prodigally
,
in
harlots
houses
,
in
boasting
,
glorying
,
and
quarrelling
:
and
then
where
bread
is
,
they
must
bow
for
it
,
and
will
:
and
then
the
Bishop
and
Shepheard
that
can
feed
them
,
will
be
honoured
by
them
.
But
if
England
be
still
a
Church
,
or
there
be
a
Church
in
England
,
of
old
and
late
,
and
all
men
professing
faith
in
Christ
,
are
members
;
and
neither
the
worst
nor
best
,
are
dismembred
,
but
all
continue
one
body
,
though
broken
and
under
confusion
:
Then
as
every
particular
member
is
apart
;
so
parties
united
by
any
bond
of
spirit
,
perswasion
or
opinion
,
must
needs
be
a
great
part
,
an
integral
part
:
And
if
so
,
there
can
be
no
peace
,
nor
building
,
but
of
all
these
parties
:
And
it
is
easier
,
for
a
workman
,
to
constitute
a
house
of
all
,
then
for
another
to
make
a
shed
,
or
hovel
of
some
parts
:
But
there
will
never
be
any
harmony
nor
health
in
the
body
,
if
every
joint
supply
not
its
place
:
It
is
love
only
can
unite
and
heal
,
and
only
an
intire
love
,
or
a
love
of
the
whole
,
to
the
whole
:
If
any
part
be
rejected
there
is
want
of
love
,
or
love
is
not
in
that
agreement
,
that
leaves
out
any
part
;
and
if
love
be
not
there
;
the
agreement
will
not
hold
:
Love
the
more
,
the
divisions
,
the
wider
,
and
greater
the
distance
;
the
more
able
it
is
to
unite
,
and
the
more
pleased
to
do
it
;
because
it
is
infinite
.
And
the
greater
the
variety
is
,
the
more
wisdom
delights
to
shew
its
skill
in
ordering
and
composing
of
them
into
harmony
;
and
the
more
excellent
will
the
musick
be
,
when
composed
.
It
is
not
imaginable
,
that
any
one
Party
,
can
comprehend
the
whole
:
nor
can
any
one
Party
comprehend
any
other
Party
:
And
therefore
every
person
and
Party
,
will
in
their
divided
state
,
think
and
conclude
an
union
impossible
:
But
as
it
is
impossible
for
any
party
,
or
few
parties
to
agree
or
to
think
how
to
agree
;
so
it
is
impossible
but
the
whole
must
agree
;
because
she
comprehends
all
the
parts
;
and
they
all
do
consist
in
her
,
and
she
consists
only
by
and
in
all
.
Therefore
as
the
reason
of
any
,
or
many
parts
,
be
they
eminent
parts
,
cannot
unite
the
whole
;
while
they
stand
as
parts
,
divided
from
any
of
the
whole
;
So
the
reason
of
the
whole
,
cannot
but
comprehend
and
gather
into
it
all
the
parts
,
and
consequently
must
unite
all
:
For
all
do
already
meet
in
that
universall
reason
,
wherein
and
whereby
both
all
the
parts
,
and
the
whole
subsist
.
This
is
the
reason
of
the
liberty
of
conscience
,
that
is
in
my
mind
:
I
would
that
all
may
have
liberty
to
come
forth
,
to
come
together
,
and
to
agree
:
and
to
agree
first
in
this
point
of
liberty
:
For
it
is
impossible
that
ever
we
should
agree
or
consent
by
force
:
No
man
will
agree
to
be
beaten
:
If
we
give
not
liberty
to
men
to
profess
,
enquire
,
and
bring
forth
their
minds
,
we
deny
them
liberty
to
consent
:
For
there
cannot
be
a
free
consent
,
till
there
be
all
freedom
to
profess
and
to
debate
;
and
of
all
means
,
both
of
professing
,
and
trying
all
things
:
What
is
restrained
and
imprisoned
by
jealousie
and
enmity
,
is
thereby
shut
up
in
division
,
and
denyed
both
the
first
step
to
,
and
the
right
means
of
agreement
:
And
is
thereby
enforced
to
dwell
in
it self
,
and
to
maintain
its
own
private
divided
state
;
being
thrust
out
from
all
fellowship
with
the
whole
:
The
admitting
all
to
come
abroad
,
into
open
light
and
profession
,
with
liberty
to
try
,
is
the
beginning
of
peace
and
agreement
.
But
as
I
would
give
this
liberty
of
conscience
:
so
I
expect
,
and
may
justly
challenge
,
a
liberty
to
deal
with
this
conscience
,
in
the
way
of
conscience
:
For
therefore
would
I
that
their
consciences
may
come
forth
,
that
they
may
be
convinced
and
instructed
:
Sure
then
you
will
not
deny
me
liberty
to
reprove
,
and
rebuke
:
and
if
I
can
,
to
wound
and
afflict
your
consciences
,
if
they
be
guilty
;
If
they
be
not
guilty
,
I
cannot
hurt
them
;
if
they
be
,
it
must
be
known
,
felt
,
and
discovered
,
else
they
cannot
be
healed
:
It
is
a
freedom
that
God
hath
given
me
,
to
reprove
and
reform
;
I
shall
use
it
,
and
I
hope
so
use
it
,
as
not
to
be
denyed
the
exercise
of
it
:
At
this
time
,
I
would
examine
,
this
plea
of
liberty
of
conscience
,
as
it
hath
been
urged
all
along
in
our
late
troubles
.
I
do
very
much
suspect
this
title
and
claim
of
conscience
to
liberty
,
or
liberty
for
conscience
,
as
it
hath
been
,
and
still
is
promoted
by
many
;
that
there
is
some
notable
evil
in
it
,
more
then
hath
been
yet
discovered
:
For
,
First
,
Where
the
whole
is
unsound
,
the
parts
must
needs
be
so
also
:
And
therefore
if
there
hath
been
deceit
and
hypocrisie
,
in
the
whole
state
and
spirit
of
this
work
,
this
of
liberty
of
conscience
being
a
great
part
of
the
business
,
must
necessarily
partake
of
the
corruption
of
the
whole
.
Secondly
,
I
cannot
derive
it
from
any
antient
and
honourable
root
:
The
Jews
while
they
were
in
their
own
land
,
they
needed
not
liberty
,
for
they
were
under
a
Law
of
necessity
and
duty
;
I
do
not
remember
that
ever
they
desired
it
,
when
they
were
in
captivity
:
In
Aegypt
they
would
not
sacrifice
,
Lo
,
shall
we
sacrifice
the
abomination
of
the
Aegyptians
before
their
eyes
,
and
will
they
not
stone
us
?
Gen.
8.26
.
And
in
Babylon
they
said
,
How
shall
we
sing
the
Lords
song
in
a
strange
land
?
Psal.
137.4
.
I
am
sure
if
you
had
been
as
sensible
of
your
spiritual
al
captivity
,
as
they
were
of
their
outward
,
you
would
not
have
made
such
haste
to
sacrifice
and
set
up
so
many
notes
or
songs
:
When
you
feel
the
confusion
that
is
in
your
spirits
,
you
will
find
you
are
still
in
Babylon
,
and
hang
up
your
harps
,
and
mourn
instead
of
singing
:
I
am
most
certain
of
this
,
there
hath
been
a
whorish
impudency
in
the
great
liberty
taken
,
to
pray
,
profess
,
build
Churches
,
Ministries
and
Worship
:
And
for
this
spiritual
whoredom
is
liberty
pleaded
,
as
well
as
for
conscience
.
Neither
did
the
Apostles
,
or
the
Primitive
Christians
,
seek
for
liberty
of
conscience
,
from
the
Princes
of
the
world
:
But
having
commission
from
Christ
the
supream
Lord
,
to
preach
the
Gospel
,
they
executed
it
boldly
and
freely
:
They
were
called
both
to
preach
and
suffer
,
and
therefore
did
not
seek
liberty
from
the
cross
:
A
true
spiritual
Ministry
derives
it self
immediately
from
the
person
of
Christ
,
who
is
exalted
far
above
all
principalities
and
powers
:
And
being
far
above
them
,
they
need
not
,
cannot
rightly
seek
for
a
licence
from
them
,
to
obey
the
commands
of
a
superiour
Lord
.
If
the
powers
of
the
world
be
only
worldly
,
and
the
life
and
religion
of
the
Saints
heavenly
:
the
heavenly
is
above
the
earthly
;
and
may
justly
bless
,
preserve
and
instruct
the
earthly
:
and
the
earthly
is
to
submit
to
the
spiritual
and
heavenly
:
If
the
powers
of
the
world
are
,
as
they
were
then
,
in
the
wicked
one
,
then
it
was
not
only
in
vain
,
but
a
wicked
thing
,
for
the
servants
of
Christ
to
seek
to
his
enemy
the
devil
,
and
his
enemies
,
wicked
men
,
for
an
outward
liberty
:
They
would
rather
suffer
from
them
,
then
so
acknowledge
them
:
Therefore
liberty
of
conscience
,
will
be
found
a
new
and
upstart
thing
,
born
in
this
age
,
amongst
many
other
weak
things
,
and
that
it
is
not
of
the
old
rase
of
the
right
,
generous
,
and
heavenly
Saints
:
It
may
be
pittied
and
indulged
,
but
cannot
challenge
much
.
Thirdly
,
This
liberty
of
conscience
seeks
earthly
things
,
and
outward
freedom
;
Which
is
not
only
for
conscience
,
or
but
for
an
outward
and
earthly
conscience
;
and
with
that
for
worldly
ease
,
honour
,
and
advantage
:
For
conscience
,
if
the
Son
make
him
free
,
and
so
he
be
free
indeed
;
it
can
and
doth
live
with
God
,
and
with
men
,
in
heaven
and
in
earth
,
and
under
the
earth
;
in
bonds
,
chains
,
and
death
:
and
is
still
free
with
God
and
Christ
,
and
cannot
be
confined
:
It
is
therefore
some
outward
thing
that
is
pleaded
for
,
as
well
as
,
or
more
then
,
liberty
of
conscience
.
Fourthly
,
It
is
a
common
observation
,
that
men
while
they
have
been
under
their
enemies
,
and
in
a
low
condition
,
then
they
cry
up
liberty
of
Conscience
;
but
when
the
same
persons
have
attained
power
,
they
content
not
themselves
then
with
liberty
,
but
set
up
their
consciences
;
to
be
a
Law
to
others
:
It
hath
been
practised
by
all
sorts
of
people
,
as
they
have
gotten
power
into
their
hands
,
in
some
degree
or
other
:
They
have
all
punished
some
,
for
Conscience
:
Let
this
be
well
examined
,
and
if
we
can
,
let
us
find
out
the
reason
of
it
;
it
will
enlighten
mens
minds
,
and
clear
the
truth
:
Consider
then
,
First
,
Whether
conscience
receiving
its
Law
and
rule
from
God
,
the
supream
Lord
,
ought
not
to
exalt
that
Law
(
as
it
hath
opportunity
)
and
hold
it
forth
as
a
Law
to
all
men
:
I
believe
it
is
so
;
and
therefore
conscience
taught
and
instituted
of
God
,
is
truly
royal
and
Princely
in
his
nature
,
and
both
must
and
will
rule
:
Which
is
the
reason
why
neither
the
Jews
nor
Christians
would
seek
to
their
enemies
,
or
to
the
heathen
States
for
liberty
,
but
knowing
and
loving
the
majesty
of
their
Lord
,
they
would
either
raign
with
him
,
or
suffer
with
him
,
and
from
him
.
If
this
be
the
royal
nature
of
truth
,
then
it
follows
,
1.
That
whatever
men
profess
,
when
they
are
down
and
low
,
yet
we
must
expect
,
that
when
they
get
up
,
they
will
exalt
,
that
which
they
hold
to
be
truth
,
as
high
as
they
can
,
and
exalt
themselves
with
it
.
And
2.
If
they
pretend
otherwise
,
they
do
either
weakly
or
deceitfully
hide
and
cover
their
minds
;
or
else
basely
stoop
below
the
majestie
of
truth
,
for
present
ease
and
advantage
.
And
3.
If
we
our selves
,
by
the
Law
of
our
own
life
and
religion
,
do
exalt
our
religion
as
a
Law
;
we
must
not
wonder
if
others
do
so
also
;
but
have
reason
to
be
content
with
it
,
and
submit
to
it
.
And
4.
Knowing
that
the
Law
and
Religion
of
our
Lord
Jesus
,
must
and
will
rule
;
if
we
have
it
with
us
,
and
in
us
,
it
will
be
sufficient
,
1.
To
uphold
us
in
a
low
state
.
2.
To
assure
us
,
that
whatever
other
persons
or
spirits
God
sets
up
,
they
must
come
down
with
shame
.
3.
That
when
that
Law
comes
to
rise
,
we
shall
rise
and
raign
with
it
.
And
4.
In
the
mean
time
suffering
with
it
,
will
prepare
us
to
raign
with
it
,
and
him
.
Secondly
,
If
this
be
true
,
that
conscience
rightly
taught
and
enlightened
,
is
and
will
be
a
Law
to
all
men
;
then
what
a
poor
or
false
conscience
is
that
,
which
craves
liberty
of
men
?
If
it
be
only
weak
,
it
is
to
be
pittied
,
if
it
be
an
evil
thing
,
it
is
to
be
judged
:
Be
it
one
or
other
,
we
see
by
experience
it
is
to
be
suspected
:
For
if
it
be
carnal
and
naught
,
when
it
is
low
,
it
will
be
certainly
worse
when
it
gets
power
:
If
it
be
base
,
subtile
,
and
serpentine
,
when
it
is
poor
;
it
will
be
cruel
and
tyrannical
when
it
rises
.
Therefore
though
there
be
a
natural
right
to
liberty
of
Conscience
,
yet
it
is
just
reason
it
should
be
examined
:
For
further
,
Fifthly
,
They
that
profess
much
for
liberty
of
Conscience
,
could
never
give
it
to
others
;
neither
to
their
enemies
,
that
first
denyed
it
to
them
,
nor
to
them
that
needed
it
from
them
:
I
do
think
they
that
contend
for
it
,
will
never
grant
it
:
That
large
and
generous
spirit
,
that
shall
he
able
to
give
it
,
will
neither
need
it
,
nor
stoop
so
low
as
to
ask
it
:
And
that
narrow
,
low
,
fleshly
mind
,
that
knows
not
how
to
bear
the
darkness
and
shortness
of
them
that
are
above
him
;
I
doubt
would
less
bear
the
darkness
and
shortness
of
them
that
are
under
him
.
Sixthly
,
This
liberty
of
Conscience
,
hath
brought
forth
to
the
Church
,
a
very
strange
brood
of
absurd
opinions
,
loose
practises
,
proud
and
rebellious
spirits
,
to
the
scorn
of
Religion
,
contempt
of
all
kind
of
Government
,
breaking
of
all
relations
,
of
all
bonds
,
natural
,
civil
and
religious
:
Now
that
which
is
a
cause
or
occasion
of
so
much
ill
,
hath
certainly
an
evil
thing
in
it
:
And
therefore
is
no
clear
nor
strong
ground
to
engage
upon
.
There
is
no
question
,
but
men
in
tenderness
to
their
own
flesh
and
bodies
,
do
when
they
are
in
danger
of
suffering
,
cry
up
liberty
of
Conscience
,
as
a
great
thing
,
and
decry
the
contrary
beyond
measure
:
Passion
,
passion
for
self
,
for
self
unmortified
,
to
avoid
the
Cross
,
is
not
a
proper
judge
of
Laws
,
Liberties
,
Religions
and
Kingdoms
:
It
doth
likewise
appear
,
from
what
hath
been
said
,
that
this
liberty
contended
for
,
is
not
according
to
the
antient
Christian
and
Apostolical
spirit
:
But
a
carnal
,
impure
and
mixed
thing
:
Yet
on
the
other
side
,
I
do
acknowledge
,
there
is
a
humane
and
natural
right
in
it
,
which
although
it
be
weak
and
low
,
ought
to
be
considered
and
pittied
:
It
being
a
thing
of
natural
and
rational
equity
,
if
it
be
fairly
and
rationally
demanded
,
it
may
I
suppose
be
had
:
His
Majesty
hath
in
goodness
and
prudence
graciously
promised
and
declared
it
:
It
is
in
it self
a
reasonable
thing
,
and
therefore
if
reasonably
claimed
,
the
reason
of
man
cannot
justly
deny
it
:
And
much
less
reason
of
State
,
which
is
the
reason
of
the
Nation
:
Besides
the
natural
reason
of
it
,
the
present
state
of
the
Nation
gives
it
a
great
advantage
,
and
makes
it
even
to
reason
of
State
,
(
which
is
the
preservation
of
civil
peace
)
necessary
:
And
therefore
nothing
so
likely
to
endanger
it
,
as
mens
irrational
,
heady
and
violent
opposing
the
Government
of
the
Church
and
Kingdom
.
And
therefore
I
affirm
,
that
for
you
to
stand
out
,
in
open
enmity
to
the
present
Government
,
in
attempting
war
and
hostility
,
or
in
preaching
and
praying
against
it
,
or
cursing
and
reviling
of
it
,
as
wicked
or
Antichristian
(
which
tends
to
the
destruction
of
it
,
either
by
war
or
otherwise
:
)
To
continue
in
this
,
is
not
the
way
to
procure
liberty
of
Conscience
,
but
to
overthrow
and
destroy
it
.
This
liberty
of
Conscience
,
must
be
had
,
either
by
an
utter
ruine
of
all
that
is
against
it
,
and
so
of
the
present
Government
:
Or
else
by
a
friendly
agreement
,
with
these
or
any
other
Governours
:
If
you
resolve
upon
the
first
,
to
destroy
all
that
are
not
according
to
your
conscience
,
that
your
conscience
may
have
liberty
:
Then
you
would
destroy
all
mens
consciences
but
your
own
,
and
all
men
for
their
consciences
;
which
is
the
most
contrary
to
liberty
of
Conscience
that
can
be
:
Most
contrary
,
because
you
will
endure
none
but
your selves
;
and
that
you
would
raise
a
war
,
that
you
might
establish
a
Law
of
cruelty
,
which
is
a
thousand
times
worse
,
then
to
persecute
by
an
established
Law
and
Authority
:
That
power
that
you
would
have
,
must
be
thorow
the
lives
,
of
thousands
of
your
enemies
;
and
after
that
,
thousands
of
your
friends
;
for
they
that
strive
for
a
power
,
never
did
nor
never
will
agree
in
the
sharing
or
administring
of
it
:
But
when
through
blood
and
destruction
of
friends
and
foes
,
you
have
gotten
it
:
If
you
should
prevail
,
and
you
in
your
own
persons
escape
,
yet
that
power
gotten
by
war
,
in
that
spirit
,
you
and
we
in
reason
must
expect
,
that
it
will
be
most
cruel
,
because
raised
and
begotten
by
cruelty
.
Indeed
it
is
so
horrid
and
irrational
,
that
the
bare
proposing
of
it
,
will
make
reasonable
men
abhor
such
a
thought
:
For
nothing
but
irrational
and
blind
zeal
,
with
discontent
and
passion
,
can
so
much
blind
the
nature
of
man
,
as
to
lead
him
into
such
unnatural
things
.
If
your
spirits
,
do
indeed
drive
to
this
,
to
the
removing
and
destroying
the
present
state
of
things
,
as
an
accursed
thing
;
then
the
ingenuous
,
and
seek
not
liberty
from
them
,
nor
complain
of
them
for
not
giving
it
:
For
every
such
acknowledgement
of
them
,
doth
confirm
them
,
and
so
contradict
your
prayers
and
endeavours
to
destroy
them
:
Sometimes
secretly
and
cunningly
to
curse
them
,
and
another
time
openly
and
for
advantage
to
acknowledge
them
,
is
falshood
and
deceit
:
And
will
attain
nothing
but
shame
and
confusion
:
For
there
is
little
but
shame
and
confusion
in
it
:
It
is
a
vile
thing
,
in
private
and
secret
to
pray
,
or
warily
to
preach
against
a
State
,
and
openly
to
comply
with
it
:
in
so
doing
our
lives
contradict
our
prayers
,
or
our
prayers
our
lives
.
But
if
this
be
the
drift
of
your
spirits
,
though
never
so
warily
carried
;
do
you
think
,
it
is
not
felt
and
understood
by
them
that
you
so
oppose
?
you
cannot
conceal
it
from
them
:
It
is
wise
counsel
Solomon
gives
,
Curse
not
the
King
,
no
not
in
thy
thought
,
or
conscience
,
for
a
bird
of
the
air
shall
carry
the
voice
,
and
that
which
hath
wings
shall
tell
the
matter
:
It
must
be
understood
spiritually
,
for
it
cannot
be
meant
literally
:
Angels
are
intelligences
and
intelligencers
,
they
are
principalities
and
powers
,
and
attend
both
the
Throne
and
Altar
;
they
are
present
in
dominion
at
Court
,
and
in
your
Closets
at
your
devotions
:
They
are
the
birds
,
and
that
which
hath
wings
,
that
tell
the
matter
:
Publick
authority
,
hath
publick
ears
and
eyes
,
and
reach
all
corners
:
Spiritual
intelligencers
,
as
well
as
outward
informers
.
If
they
know
and
feel
,
that
you
intend
their
destruction
;
must
they
not
abhor
that
spirit
,
that
under
pretence
of
liberty
of
Conscience
,
really
endeavours
liberty
of
destroying
,
and
of
overthrowing
Governments
,
to
exalt
themselves
.
And
if
they
understand
any
thing
,
they
must
think
:
These
men
seek
our
destruction
,
and
as
they
pray
for
it
,
and
preach
it
,
so
they
will
,
if
they
can
or
dare
,
attempt
it
,
as
they
have
done
:
And
therefore
they
having
such
a
sense
of
you
,
you
cannot
in
reason
expect
but
that
they
should
labour
to
suppress
you
:
If
they
find
rebellion
,
war
,
and
wrath
in
the
principles
of
it
,
though
in
religious
duties
and
conscience
;
will
they
not
suppress
both
the
rebellion
,
and
conscience
,
and
the
duties
or
worship
in
which
it
is
?
And
shall
they
not
be
justified
in
so
doing
?
I
am
sure
your
Law
and
Practise
will
justifie
them
:
For
the
same
thing
hath
been
done
often
;
and
would
be
again
,
if
you
had
power
,
while
you
are
in
this
spirit
.
When
you
shall
recover
either
your
own
nature
and
reason
,
or
the
nature
of
the
Lamb
,
out
of
this
Spiritual
drunkenness
and
cruel
zeal
;
you
will
find
,
First
,
That
Antichrist
,
the
great
enemy
of
Christ
,
is
also
an
enemy
to
man
,
to
his
life
,
peace
,
civil
order
,
Law
,
and
to
all
humane
Ordinances
.
Secondly
,
That
this
enemy
is
a
spirit
,
the
Angel
of
the
bottomless
pit
:
And
therefore
his
chief
seat
and
place
is
in
spiritual
things
,
in
conscience
,
and
in
the
spirits
of
men
,
and
in
those
things
wherein
spiritual
men
,
or
the
spirits
of
men
,
are
exercised
;
in
gifts
,
religion
,
and
holy
duties
;
and
his
last
and
greatest
strength
is
not
in
corrupt
forms
,
but
in
those
that
are
most
spiritual
,
most
lively
,
zealous
and
gifted
:
Others
are
but
the
flesh
,
these
the
horns
of
the
beast
.
Thirdly
,
And
therefore
conscience
,
and
the
spirits
of
men
,
even
in
Religion
,
and
in
lively
or
spiritual
Religion
,
is
grievously
polluted
by
him
:
This
Templo
of
God
is
defiled
by
him
:
You
must
come
to
know
it
and
feel
it
,
as
I
have
done
.
Fourthly
,
The
nature
of
this
beast
is
to
destroy
;
whence
he
hath
his
name
Apollyon
,
a
destroyer
:
His
highest
place
is
conscience
gifted
,
mens
spirits
enlightened
;
and
his
highest
work
is
to
kill
and
destroy
;
and
in
order
to
that
,
to
curse
and
blaspheme
with
those
spiritual
gifts
.
Fifthly
,
This
spiritual
beast
,
this
destroyer
,
cannot
but
be
seen
and
felt
by
the
common
reason
of
men
;
although
they
cannot
judge
him
,
yet
they
must
have
a
sense
of
him
,
as
an
enemy
to
that
life
,
and
peace
,
in
which
they
live
;
and
to
that
Authority
and
Government
which
is
committed
to
them
.
Sixthly
,
As
they
cannot
but
discern
,
and
feel
the
horns
of
this
beast
,
that
pushes
them
and
wounds
them
;
so
they
cannot
but
arm
themselves
,
with
such
weapons
as
they
have
against
him
:
If
it
be
a
State
,
it
will
defend
it self
by
Laws
,
punishments
,
policies
and
power
.
Seventhly
,
This
self-defence
,
though
it
be
earthly
cannot
be
denyed
them
;
yea
they
will
be
justified
in
it
,
so
far
as
it
is
rational
,
humane
and
necessary
,
and
for
the
preservation
of
peace
and
common
safety
:
Wherein
any
are
cruel
and
revengeful
,
that
is
devilish
also
;
and
then
it
is
the
beast
,
against
the
beast
:
But
an
humane
care
to
maintain
Law
,
Authority
and
Peace
(
though
it
be
no
more
)
yet
it
is
good
against
a
destroying
spirit
,
that
would
bring
in
war
and
confusion
,
under
the
highest
notion
of
Religion
and
Reformation
:
The
ordinary
and
common
Ordinances
of
man
;
are
to
be
justified
in
acting
against
a
Religion
&
Zeal
,
that
seeks
the
subverting
of
them
:
The
first
is
useful
,
necessary
and
profitable
;
the
other
is
hurtful
and
destructive
.
Eighthly
,
The
Law
and
Authority
of
a
Nation
,
defending
it self
from
this
spirit
,
by
its
own
weapons
,
being
outward
,
must
necessarily
fall
upon
the
persons
,
lives
and
liberties
of
them
that
are
ngaged
in
this
spirit
.
I
am
grieved
in
my
soul
for
both
,
both
wound
my
heart
;
both
the
agents
and
patients
:
In
love
to
mankind
,
I
am
afflicted
for
them
,
and
feel
the
unhappiness
of
them
,
that
are
under
a
Law
and
necessity
of
so
acting
;
and
them
that
are
under
a
Law
and
necessity
of
so
suffering
:
If
either
my
labour
and
pains
,
or
my
knowledge
and
experience
,
yea
or
my
life
if
self
,
may
do
any
thing
to
cure
this
evil
,
and
quench
this
flame
,
I
should
gladly
expend
them
all
.
And
for
you
my
friends
,
to
whom
in
love
and
mercy
this
is
directed
,
I
know
it
will
not
only
seem
strange
to
you
,
but
be
very
grievous
to
bear
;
to
find
so
great
a
spiritual
enemy
,
in
the
midst
of
your
spiritual
gifts
and
enjoyments
:
I
know
you
little
expected
it
,
and
as
little
thought
to
find
me
the
discoverer
of
it
to
you
;
whom
you
have
so
much
slighted
:
But
know
,
this
is
the
fruit
of
my
long
travels
,
and
dangerous
encounters
with
this
enemy
:
With
whom
I
have
endured
a
long
and
tedious
warfare
,
with
great
expence
of
life
and
blood
,
even
in
my
soul
and
spirit
;
and
have
received
many
desperate
wounds
in
my
inward
man
:
while
you
lived
at
case
,
and
in
pleasure
,
both
outward
and
inward
:
You
now
have
that
cheap
,
which
cost
me
dear
:
For
alas
,
how
much
easier
it
is
for
you
,
to
receive
this
conviction
,
from
the
hand
of
a
weak
broken
man
,
in
love
and
compassion
to
you
:
Then
to
receive
it
,
as
I
have
done
,
from
an
angry
and
jealous
God
?
How
much
easier
,
is
it
for
you
,
to
bear
reproof
from
the
experience
of
a
friend
?
then
to
conflict
with
this
destroyer
,
hand
to
hand
,
and
to
graple
with
all
his
malice
,
darkness
and
wrath
,
in
your
own
naked
souls
and
spirits
?
which
God
knows
I
have
done
,
again
and
again
:
I
know
you
have
had
strange
thoughts
of
me
,
I
forgive
you
;
you
might
well
think
strangely
of
me
,
when
you
beheld
me
encompassed
with
the
darkness
and
smoak
of
this
bottomless
pit
:
and
sensibly
lost
and
swallowed
up
by
this
enemy
:
But
I
have
by
the
mighty
power
and
goodness
of
God
,
escaped
thorow
many
deaths
and
dangers
,
and
yet
live
to
communicate
to
you
the
benefit
of
my
conflicts
,
sufferings
and
deliverance
.
If
you
say
,
you
intend
not
war
and
destruction
to
them
which
you
oppose
,
but
their
repentance
:
See
that
you
be
true
to
this
:
I
do
believe
many
are
wholly
taken
off
from
war
,
by
the
great
experience
we
have
had
,
of
the
beastly
deceit
,
the
horrible
cruelty
and
corruption
that
hath
attended
it
:
And
that
the
same
honesty
that
led
them
out
at
first
to
engage
in
it
,
leads
them
now
to
abhor
it
,
and
to
chuse
rather
to
suffer
,
then
by
war
to
seek
a
deliverance
:
For
the
clearing
and
strengthening
their
spirits
,
in
that
way
of
peace
,
are
these
things
writ
:
And
to
inform
and
instruct
others
,
that
are
yet
unconvinced
.
We
will
then
suppose
,
that
you
intend
not
to
get
liberty
of
Conscience
by
violence
and
war
;
which
was
our
first
branch
,
but
by
a
friendly
agreement
,
with
the
present
:
Magistrates
and
Governours
;
this
is
our
second
branch
.
If
we
desire
liberty
,
first
know
,
That
it
must
be
from
the
Magistrate
;
for
all
liberty
,
Civil
and
Spiritual
,
is
in
his
power
,
either
to
give
or
restrain
:
Liberty
is
the
fruit
that
grows
only
upon
the
tree
of
Government
,
Law
and
Authority
;
or
is
enjoyed
only
under
the
protection
of
them
:
Take
away
Authority
and
Magistracy
,
and
all
kind
of
liberty
ceases
;
we
are
presently
exposed
to
the
lusts
of
wilde
and
brutish
men
:
Therefore
they
that
are
truly
conscientious
,
are
most
faithful
to
Magistracy
:
1.
Because
they
are
bound
to
obey
,
not
only
for
wrath
,
as
others
,
but
for
conscience
sake
;
in
obedience
to
God
,
who
hath
instituted
Magistracy
,
and
ordained
that
power
:
And
they
know
and
feel
the
Providence
and
goodness
of
God
,
in
the
Magistrate
,
as
well
as
the
weight
of
his
Scepter
:
2.
Because
they
may
receive
more
benefit
from
him
,
then
others
;
liberty
,
not
only
for
their
outward
man
,
but
for
their
spiritual
man
also
;
which
others
need
not
:
3.
Because
they
being
conscientious
,
are
more
tender
then
others
,
and
so
more
subject
to
injury
,
then
those
that
are
not
bound
by
conscience
:
The
loose
and
prophane
,
need
the
Magistrate
,
to
restrain
and
subdue
their
wills
;
the
conscientious
,
is
his
own
Law
,
as
to
restraint
,
and
needs
the
Magistrate
only
for
his
protection
:
So
that
indeed
the
sword
of
Authority
,
if
rightly
understood
,
the
edge
of
it
is
against
the
loose
and
lawless
life
,
and
the
peace
and
favour
of
it
,
is
to
the
good
and
the
godly
.
The
enemy
of
man
,
and
author
of
confusion
,
hath
brought
forth
much
mischief
amongst
us
;
both
to
the
Magistrate
,
and
to
the
conscientious
;
in
dividing
one
from
the
other
;
and
setting
of
them
against
each
other
,
which
have
but
one
root
:
For
the
Magistrate
is
the
Minister
of
God
for
good
,
Rom.
13.4
.
And
conscience
binds
a
man
to
subject
to
all
the
words
and
works
of
God
;
and
to
all
things
that
are
administred
from
him
or
by
him
:
Upon
a
little
sober
consideration
,
this
mist
of
errour
and
mistake
will
be
scattered
.
But
if
the
Magistrate
give
us
this
liberty
of
Conscience
;
then
in
reason
and
conscience
we
are
bound
to
defend
the
Magistrate
,
that
defends
us
in
this
liberty
:
And
if
we
desire
liberty
of
him
,
it
is
but
equal
and
reasonable
,
that
we
should
profess
,
that
it
is
our
judgements
and
consciences
so
to
do
:
For
we
cannot
expect
he
should
give
liberty
to
a
conscience
,
that
would
destroy
him
and
his
Government
.
Wherefore
when
men
have
professed
conscience
,
in
destroying
and
changing
of
Governments
,
there
should
be
a
Declaration
and
Profession
against
it
,
answerable
to
the
evil
done
by
it
;
or
sufficient
to
wipe
off
that
scandal
.
Secondly
,
If
we
desire
liberty
of
Conscience
,
from
the
Magistrate
,
it
must
be
either
,
in
a
way
of
Reason
,
or
Religion
,
or
both
;
if
we
seek
it
from
him
in
a
way
of
reason
,
we
must
admit
him
a
man
,
a
reasonable
creature
,
else
it
is
in
vain
to
seek
reason
of
him
:
If
the
Magistrate
be
man
,
he
hath
the
image
of
God
as
man
,
and
as
Magistrate
;
which
is
to
be
beloved
,
honoured
,
and
defended
by
us
;
not
opposed
,
hated
and
destroyed
:
If
there
be
man
and
reason
,
it
is
possible
and
likely
we
may
agree
with
and
unite
to
man
;
because
we
also
are
men
of
the
same
flesh
and
blood
with
him
,
and
he
with
us
:
If
we
do
not
agree
with
our
own
nature
,
though
under
many
defects
,
there
is
something
unnatural
in
us
;
which
we
may
call
Spiritual
,
but
if
it
be
Spiritual
,
it
is
not
divine
nor
Christian
;
for
God
loves
man
,
is
reconciled
to
man
,
Christ
is
a
man
,
and
loves
his
Brethren
:
If
we
confess
them
to
be
men
,
then
we
are
to
deal
humanely
with
them
,
and
to
exercise
reason
to
them
,
openly
,
clearly
,
fairly
:
If
we
think
they
err
,
we
are
in
reason
to
go
to
them
,
and
to
inform
them
if
we
can
,
or
to
receive
information
from
them
:
If
we
need
anything
of
them
,
we
should
reasonably
propound
our
request
to
them
:
If
both
parties
be
men
,
and
will
exercise
reason
to
each
other
,
there
will
be
an
understanding
and
agreement
;
for
there
is
but
one
reason
in
all
men
.
If
we
seek
liberty
of
Conscience
,
upon
grounds
of
Conscience
and
Religion
;
which
is
most
proper
,
and
most
for
the
advantage
of
the
Cause
of
Conscience
,
who
hath
most
strength
in
his
own
Court
;
then
we
must
conclude
the
Magistrate
hath
a
Conscience
:
For
if
he
have
no
conscience
,
he
cannot
consider
conscience
to
give
it
freedom
:
If
the
Magistrate
have
a
conscience
,
then
,
1.
If
we
plead
liberty
of
Conscience
,
he
must
be
himself
free
,
to
exercise
that
Conscience
in
Religion
and
Worship
:
Can
you
then
freely
grant
that
to
the
Magistrate
,
which
you
desire
of
him
?
And
let
him
in
his
way
be
as
free
from
your
tongues
and
pens
,
as
you
desire
to
be
from
his
sword
and
officers
:
If
so
,
then
you
must
cease
all
rayling
,
reviling
and
reproaching
;
for
that
,
from
the
subject
to
the
Magistrate
,
is
persecution
of
the
tongue
,
in
name
and
dignity
;
as
well
imprisonment
,
from
the
Magistrate
to
the
subject
,
is
persecution
of
the
body
.
Object
.
But
ought
we
not
to
reprove
evil
,
and
testifie
against
it
?
Answ.
Yea
according
to
the
Gospel
;
which
is
to
reprove
them
as
Brethren
,
with
meekness
,
long-suffering
,
love
,
gentleness
;
but
to
speak
evil
of
their
persons
and
worship
;
not
to
them
,
but
to
others
against
them
;
is
not
to
convince
,
but
to
defame
,
which
to
a
dignity
is
to
oppose
,
and
so
to
overthrow
it
,
and
to
set
up
your selves
either
against
or
above
them
:
If
so
,
you
go
beyond
a
Gospel-rule
,
which
forbids
to
speak
evil
of
dignities
,
and
commands
to
honour
all
men
:
If
it
be
not
according
to
the
Gospel
of
Peace
and
Love
,
then
it
is
carnal
strife
,
and
will
bring
forth
fruits
accordingly
:
And
will
stir
up
answerable
disaffection
in
the
Magistrate
:
For
him
to
restrain
and
imprison
,
is
the
same
thing
,
with
your
opposing
them
,
whereby
you
would
restrain
them
,
from
setting
up
or
practising
what
their
consciences
lead
them
to
.
Observe
this
well
,
If
you
expect
liberty
of
Conscience
to
worship
,
you
must
give
liberty
of
Conscience
to
worship
:
And
they
that
have
liberty
,
to
worship
God
in
Jesus
Christ
,
are
part
of
his
House
and
Church
:
If
you
and
others
will
admit
this
,
That
men
walking
in
different
wayes
of
worship
,
of
one
God
,
are
all
servants
of
that
God
,
whom
they
worship
,
and
so
members
of
the
body
and
of
the
Church
,
though
under
much
darkness
&
many
mistakes
;
●his
alone
will
kill
all
enmity
.
To
enlarge
your
minds
to
this
;
do
but
consider
,
that
which
both
your
reason
and
your
wants
,
will
necessarily
lead
you
to
:
For
can
you
ask
liberty
of
Conscience
,
of
them
that
have
no
Conscience
?
If
they
have
Conscience
,
they
must
have
liberty
to
worship
God
:
If
they
be
worshippers
of
God
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
they
are
Christians
:
And
this
they
do
;
therefore
they
are
members
with
us
,
though
dead
or
corrupt
members
.
And
as
our
reason
and
wants
will
lead
us
to
it
,
so
our
judgements
may
well
admit
it
:
For
the
body
of
Christ
,
is
this
day
most
large
;
and
the
House
of
God
,
is
a
House
of
prayer
to
all
Nations
:
The
name
of
Jesus
Christ
,
is
published
,
received
,
and
believed
on
in
the
world
,
and
consequently
called
upon
:
And
all
that
call
upon
the
name
of
the
Lord
are
saved
;
that
is
,
according
to
the
degree
or
measure
of
Faith
,
Religion
,
Obedience
and
Worship
they
exercise
,
so
is
their
salvation
;
either
outward
,
temporary
and
worldly
,
or
inward
,
spiritual
and
eternal
:
For
we
plainly
see
that
all
men
do
worship
God
,
and
have
some
kind
of
Communion
with
him
;
They
give
him
some
service
,
and
receive
some
good
from
him
;
life
,
and
support
,
for
that
life
,
for
the
soul
and
body
:
Which
doth
not
deny
the
exercise
of
justice
,
either
to
God
or
men
;
neither
of
temporary
or
eternal
,
civil
or
ecclesiastical
;
but
establishes
all
:
For
by
admitting
all
,
to
this
common
priviledge
,
they
are
thereby
subject
to
all
divine
,
christian
and
humane
judgements
.
And
either
we
must
admit
all
Parties
to
this
priviledge
,
or
else
we
must
admit
them
to
no
outward
,
civil
or
natural
priviledge
:
For
the
House
of
God
,
and
visible
body
of
Christ
,
is
more
large
then
any
Nation
;
and
the
love
of
God
to
man
,
in
Christ
,
is
larger
then
any
other
law
or
light
,
civil
or
natural
:
The
Spirit
of
Jesus
is
more
merciful
,
long-suffering
and
gentle
,
then
any
other
spirit
:
And
therefore
if
we
cannot
admit
them
,
to
be
partakers
of
Gods
goodness
in
his
House
,
we
shall
not
allow
them
a
place
in
the
earth
.
And
they
that
pray
against
men
,
as
enemies
to
God
,
as
wicked
and
Antichristian
;
they
will
also
thrust
them
out
of
all
rule
and
dominion
;
and
consequently
,
out
of
Possession
in
the
earth
;
and
either
destroy
them
quite
,
or
reduce
them
to
slavery
:
If
this
be
considered
,
it
is
so
vile
a
thing
,
that
the
nature
of
man
will
abhor
it
:
And
if
it
abhor
the
effect
,
it
must
also
abhor
the
cause
;
that
spirit
and
way
,
that
produces
such
cruel
things
in
the
earth
.
And
as
it
is
vile
in
it self
,
so
it
engages
Party
against
Party
,
to
their
utter
destruction
;
and
leaves
no
means
of
peace
;
which
is
most
contrary
,
to
all
the
grace
of
God
in
Jesus
Christ
.
It
further
follows
,
if
we
allow
the
Magistrate
a
Conscience
,
and
freedom
for
his
Conscience
;
we
must
allow
him
the
Conscience
,
not
of
a
private
person
only
,
but
of
a
Magistrate
:
If
he
have
freedom
of
Conscience
as
a
Magistrate
,
he
hath
not
only
liberty
of
worship
;
but
liberty
as
a
Magistrate
;
to
countenance
,
advance
and
promote
that
worship
which
he
practises
,
and
judges
to
be
the
worship
of
God
:
For
every
one
is
bound
,
as
to
worship
God
,
so
to
be
zealous
for
that
worship
,
and
to
promote
it
:
And
every
one
in
their
place
doth
it
:
Ministers
in
their
way
,
Magistrates
in
their
way
,
and
People
in
their
way
.
This
then
is
the
great
difficulty
,
and
the
knot
of
the
business
,
every
Conscience
requires
liberty
,
not
only
for
their
practise
,
but
for
their
zeal
,
to
promote
their
particular
way
:
This
zeal
wanting
knowledge
,
and
rule
to
walk
by
,
and
therefore
in
confusion
;
makes
men
clash
,
oppose
and
quarrel
one
with
another
.
It
cannot
be
expected
that
I
should
at
this
time
shew
,
the
place
and
duty
of
all
degrees
and
Parties
,
with
their
distinct
bounds
and
limits
;
it
would
require
a
Treatise
by
it self
:
I
shall
only
say
this
at
present
:
1.
I
know
,
there
is
a
holy
,
righteous
,
and
a
good
Law
,
for
all
men
to
walk
by
,
in
their
several
orders
and
places
,
in
the
great
House
of
God
,
without
offence
and
hurt
one
to
another
.
2.
There
is
work
and
employment
for
all
,
both
Magistrates
,
Ministers
and
People
;
to
exercise
themselves
,
and
all
the
power
committed
to
them
,
either
civil
or
spiritual
,
against
the
common
enemy
of
mankind
,
wickedness
,
unrighteousness
and
unmercifulness
:
And
the
Church
of
God
,
and
the
Nation
,
have
both
need
of
all
their
power
and
gifts
,
and
of
every
good
thing
,
that
God
hath
made
;
and
right
to
them
all
.
3.
While
they
oppose
one
another
,
the
Church
and
Nation
,
doth
not
only
lose
the
benefit
of
all
these
parts
;
but
envy
,
strife
confusion
,
and
so
every
evil
work
is
encreased
;
and
the
poor
nature
of
man
and
the
Church
is
neglected
and
spoyled
.
4.
As
all
these
gifts
and
Ordinances
of
God
,
are
the
right
of
the
Church
,
so
they
all
come
from
one
head
,
from
Christ
;
of
whom
and
by
whom
,
are
all
powers
,
all
gifts
,
Magistratical
and
Ministerial
.
5.
There
is
one
law
,
one
way
,
for
them
all
,
to
employ
all
their
power
outward
;
and
gifts
inward
joyntly
.
6.
Herein
only
,
can
they
all
have
comfort
and
honour
,
because
herein
only
they
can
do
good
,
and
live
in
love
and
peace
:
And
therefore
,
lastly
it
follows
(
which
I
shall
ever
press
)
There
is
a
necessity
of
a
friendly
treaty
and
agreement
of
all
Parties
,
of
the
ablest
,
largest
and
wisest
of
all
Parties
;
to
enquire
for
this
excellent
and
perfect
way
and
Law
of
God
;
which
certainly
,
is
compleat
and
sufficient
,
and
will
be
manifest
,
to
them
that
seek
it
;
and
to
this
Church
and
Nation
,
if
they
seek
it
as
a
Church
and
Nation
,
that
is
,
joyntly
,
all
her
parts
and
parties
together
.
Till
this
can
be
obtained
,
or
in
order
to
this
,
let
me
desire
you
to
consider
;
The
extreams
of
zeal
in
promoting
,
every
Party
their
way
of
worship
,
are
visibly
these
two
:
First
on
the
Magistrates
part
,
by
outward
force
and
punishments
,
to
compell
mens
consciences
to
his
way
:
This
I
hope
is
past
and
gone
:
We
have
the
word
of
a
King
for
it
;
and
if
we
thankfully
and
humbly
receive
the
favour
of
it
,
we
may
have
it
continued
and
confirmed
:
The
second
is
,
on
the
gifted
ministry
or
peoples
side
,
their
civil
is
,
to
promote
their
way
by
anger
,
wrath
and
bitterness
,
in
preaching
,
praying
,
and
writing
:
which
are
their
weapons
,
as
the
Law
and
prisons
are
the
Magistrates
:
And
is
the
same
evil
in
a
finer
and
more
spiritual
way
,
and
therefore
last
discovered
,
and
last
subdued
.
If
you
should
not
be
invited
to
peace
by
the
clemency
and
mercy
of
the
King
,
in
giving
liberty
;
yet
you
ought
first
to
cease
from
strife
,
and
to
seek
peace
;
because
you
were
last
in
war
.
2.
You
are
under
punishment
for
it
.
3.
Your
profession
and
gifts
are
graater
:
You
seem
to
be
nearer
the
Gospel
,
nearer
to
Christ
,
and
therefore
should
first
lay
down
your
weapons
of
wrath
,
and
seek
peace
:
You
should
bear
the
evils
and
darkness
,
of
them
that
you
judge
carnal
and
worldly
.
In
doing
so
,
you
will
have
most
peace
,
and
honour
,
and
soonest
find
deliverance
.
I
have
been
very
large
in
this
subject
,
much
beyond
the
purpose
of
my
mind
,
when
I
began
to
write
:
I
know
not
well
the
reason
of
it
:
Since
I
have
writ
it
,
I
am
apt
to
think
,
there
is
need
enough
of
it
;
I
am
not
without
fears
,
that
the
great
discontent
and
unmortified
zeal
of
some
,
will
put
them
upon
foolish
and
desperate
courses
,
if
more
reason
and
religion
do
not
bridle
their
passions
:
Whether
men
are
so
mad
or
no
,
I
know
not
,
but
this
I
am
sure
,
that
this
way
of
enmity
and
opposition
,
defiles
and
pollutes
Religion
:
It
feeds
upon
the
peace
and
comfort
of
mens
souls
:
It
fills
the
Nation
with
jealousies
,
and
consequently
with
violence
,
distraction
,
and
unsettledness
:
And
is
most
prejudicial
,
to
those
honest
,
holy
things
,
that
your
hearts
are
engaged
to
and
for
.
And
therefore
this
is
the
conclusion
of
this
matter
;
I
desire
you
and
all
men
would
take
notice
of
it
.
That
if
you
,
or
any
men
,
have
any
designs
,
for
publick
and
Christian
good
;
Or
any
expectation
of
enjoying
the
blessing
,
favour
and
grace
of
God
;
either
outward
or
inward
,
for
soul
or
body
;
either
for
your selves
,
or
for
the
Church
of
God
:
If
you
hope
to
have
either
peace
in
your
souls
,
or
peace
and
comfort
in
your
places
,
honours
,
families
and
relations
:
Then
cease
from
strife
,
wrath
and
revenge
:
For
they
that
live
in
this
fire
of
wrath
,
it
will
certainly
consume
them
:
For
it
is
the
displeasure
of
God
:
And
although
you
may
be
the
rod
in
Gods
hand
,
to
chasten
and
humble
each
other
;
yet
the
rod
must
to
the
fire
:
Ye
may
thrive
and
prosper
in
it
a
while
,
but
its
end
is
to
be
destroyed
:
Cease
to
be
a
rod
,
cease
to
officiate
under
that
great
enemy
of
Christ
,
of
man
,
and
of
peace
,
the
destroyer
.
Be
warned
by
my
experience
:
And
know
all
men
,
That
whatever
you
administer
to
others
,
shall
be
administred
to
you
:
With
what
judgement
you
judge
,
ye
shall
be
judged
:
and
what
measure
you
mete
,
shall
be
measured
to
you
again
;
If
you
trouble
and
vex
others
,
you
shall
be
vexed
and
troubled
:
If
you
censure
and
judge
to
hell
,
you
must
come
to
feel
it
your selves
:
All
the
evil
that
I
have
spoken
against
any
,
even
the
worst
of
it
,
I
have
born
it
my self
;
and
bless
God
for
it
:
Therefore
if
the
same
righteous
God
judge
you
,
as
he
hath
done
me
,
by
the
same
Law
and
Word
of
Christ
,
as
I
know
he
will
,
in
some
degree
or
other
.
Then
you
must
suffer
upon
your
own
souls
,
all
those
plagues
and
curses
,
that
you
denounce
against
your
brethren
,
as
Antichristian
,
as
wicked
and
ungodly
men
:
God
did
not
spare
his
Son
,
but
laid
upon
him
that
hell
,
and
curse
,
and
those
woes
,
that
he
threatned
against
his
enemies
.
I
know
but
one
of
these
two
wayes
of
administring
the
Law
and
Judgements
of
God
:
Either
we
must
be
such
,
as
are
indeed
one
with
them
,
and
so
love
them
,
and
be
willing
our selves
to
suffer
them
:
Or
else
such
as
do
administer
the
same
to
others
,
which
God
hath
first
administred
upon
us
;
and
do
it
,
with
the
same
love
and
mercy
,
wherein
he
hath
done
it
to
us
.
For
if
we
ease
our selves
,
call
off
the
curse
and
judgement
to
others
,
and
load
others
,
to
free
our selves
:
This
is
contrary
to
Christ
:
and
therefore
it
shall
not
stand
:
For
,
1.
That
life
that
so
doth
,
is
not
a
true
Christian
life
;
and
therefore
the
curse
that
goes
out
from
him
,
will
return
to
him
.
And
2.
That
against
which
the
curse
goes
out
,
may
bear
it
awhile
;
but
there
is
something
also
that
is
to
be
saved
,
though
thorow
suffering
;
and
therefore
that
curse
or
punishment
,
which
is
discharged
by
any
man
,
at
another
;
when
that
good
that
is
at
the
bottom
arises
,
and
comes
forth
,
it
will
repell
that
curse
,
and
then
it
returns
to
him
from
whence
it
came
:
For
an
evil
or
curse
,
once
born
,
must
rest
somewhere
;
therefore
if
it
find
not
rest
,
it
will
return
to
the
first
author
of
it
.
All
sides
must
consider
this
,
There
is
in
your
enemies
,
the
Royal
Party
,
a
Law
,
an
Ordinance
of
God
,
a
Providence
,
a
humane
nature
,
which
is
of
God
,
and
though
it
lie
in
much
weakness
,
it
will
stand
as
a
rock
:
And
therefore
all
the
arrows
shot
against
them
,
in
passion
and
anger
,
will
certainly
recoil
and
wound
the
archers
:
And
there
is
in
you
that
now
suffer
,
an
innocency
,
an
honesty
,
though
under
much
errour
and
mistake
;
and
therefore
the
wrath
and
revenge
administred
against
you
,
will
return
upon
the
souls
,
families
and
affairs
of
them
that
persecute
you
.
The
reason
and
experience
of
these
things
,
brings
that
notable
Scripture
to
my
mind
,
Psal.
109.16
,
&c.
Because
he
remembred
not
to
shew
mercy
,
but
persecuted
the
poor
and
needy
man
,
&c.
As
he
loved
cursing
,
so
let
it
come
unto
him
:
As
he
delighted
not
in
blessing
,
so
let
it
be
far
from
:
As
he
cloathed
himself
with
cursing
,
as
with
a
garment
,
so
let
it
come
into
his
bowels
like
water
,
and
like
oyl
into
his
bones
,
&c.
Let
this
be
the
reward
of
mine
Adversaries
,
&c.
(
Of
the
adversaries
of
Christ
,
and
of
the
Lamb
of
God
)
of
Antichrist
,
the
beast
and
the
false
Prophet
:
And
of
all
that
Kingdom
of
darkness
;
let
that
cursed
Kingdom
,
sink
from
man
and
the
Church
,
into
its
own
place
;
let
all
cursing
fall
as
water
,
into
those
bowels
of
hell
,
from
whence
they
came
;
and
so
be
swallowed
up
,
by
him
that
first
brought
them
forth
:
The
Spirit
of
Christ
,
that
said
this
in
David
,
will
1.
Do
it
himself
,
he
will
take
the
curse
upon
himself
,
and
swallow
it
,
and
hell
and
death
into
victory
.
And
2.
will
require
it
of
others
to
do
it
;
and
will
by
his
own
power
enable
them
to
do
it
,
or
do
it
in
them
and
for
them
:
And
thereby
destroy
him
that
hath
destroyed
the
earth
.
If
we
understand
his
holy
and
good
will
,
we
shall
all
learn
to
bear
and
digest
the
curse
,
and
not
inflict
it
:
According
to
that
most
excellent
rule
,
Bless
them
that
persecute
you
,
bless
,
and
curse
not
,
Rom
12.14
.
Learn
this
,
bless
,
and
curse
not
;
no
not
the
worst
,
not
persecutors
;
not
them
that
persecute
the
Saints
.
None
but
Saints
can
learn
this
;
none
are
true
Saints
,
but
such
as
do
learn
it
:
The
persecutors
of
the
Saints
,
must
be
blessed
by
the
Saints
;
by
an
holy
,
true
,
just
,
righteous
mind
;
not
feignedly
and
deceitfully
,
but
really
and
truly
.
SECT.
XVI
.
YOu
are
now
in
a
sad
and
suffering
condition
:
With
my
soul
I
pitty
you
,
and
would
gladly
relieve
you
:
It
was
my
intent
in
my
first
,
and
is
the
same
in
this
;
to
shew
you
the
evil
of
that
state
and
spirit
,
that
doth
necessarily
bring
you
into
these
miseries
:
For
truly
I
have
a
fellow-feeling
,
both
of
your
sins
and
sufferings
,
and
of
all
men
;
but
of
yours
especially
,
having
formerly
been
one
with
you
:
And
therefore
cannot
but
labour
and
travel
to
bring
you
forth
into
a
way
and
state
of
safety
and
of
peace
.
You
are
now
in
affliction
;
which
brings
forth
in
you
,
a
Confession
and
a
Profession
.
1.
A
Confession
,
that
you
are
justly
and
righteously
punished
for
your
sins
.
And
2.
A
Profession
of
suffering
for
Christ
,
and
as
Martyrs
to
the
truth
:
These
two
are
very
wide
in
their
natures
,
suffering
for
sin
,
and
suffering
for
Christ
:
And
therefore
you
should
do
well
to
consider
,
how
they
come
to
meet
together
in
your
present
state
.
It
is
plain
and
visible
to
all
men
,
and
I
suppose
now
to
your selves
,
that
Babel
or
confusion
,
hath
been
in
,
and
upon
all
your
wars
,
counsels
and
designs
:
As
it
was
in
your
active
part
,
so
it
is
in
your
passive
part
:
The
truth
is
,
it
hath
and
doth
over-spread
all
the
Nation
,
and
all
the
affairs
,
wayes
and
actions
of
all
Parties
.
If
there
be
Babylon
,
confusion
,
in
your
sufferings
,
the
smoak
of
her
torment
will
more
vex
you
,
then
the
sufferings
themselves
:
Because
it
is
from
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
therefore
doth
more
torment
then
any
thing
:
To
be
clear
and
clean
in
any
thing
,
is
great
ease
to
the
soul
of
man
;
because
the
mind
is
of
it self
,
a
pure
and
clean
thing
:
Wherein
it
is
true
and
resolved
,
it
can
bear
any
thing
;
but
the
darkness
of
confusion
,
so
distracts
,
perplexes
and
confounds
it
,
that
it
is
not
able
to
relieve
or
support
it self
:
To
be
true
and
sound
in
the
lowest
condition
,
is
better
far
,
then
to
be
false
in
the
highest
:
To
be
just
,
humble
,
honest
and
resolved
in
the
first
;
that
is
,
in
that
which
you
confess
,
that
this
,
is
a
punishment
of
your
iniquities
;
is
much
better
then
to
form
up
the
second
,
and
to
conceit
that
you
suffer
for
Christ
:
For
if
you
once
come
to
be
true
,
clean
and
right
,
in
any
one
thing
,
you
will
by
degrees
be
so
in
all
things
:
And
this
humble
plainness
,
and
honest
truth
,
is
the
first
step
to
safety
,
peace
and
deliverance
.
Therefore
pray
take
heed
how
you
confound
these
two
:
Your
Confession
of
th●
justice
of
the
hand
and
rod
,
that
is
upon
yo●
for
sin
;
and
your
Profession
of
a
highe●
thing
,
suffering
for
Christ
:
I
do
the
rathe●
desire
you
to
beware
of
it
,
because
confounding
these
two
,
will
not
only
entangle
you
minds
,
but
continue
the
affliction
upon
you
and
so
involve
you
in
it
,
that
you
canno●
come
forth
of
it
:
For
if
this
be
a
just
correction
for
sin
,
as
you
confess
it
is
;
Then
to
chuse
this
and
to
glory
in
it
,
as
if
it
were
th●
Cross
of
Christ
,
must
necessarily
fix
it
to
you
;
as
much
as
your
own
choice
can
do
it
;
which
certainly
is
not
nothing
:
And
it
wil●
entangle
you
the
longer
;
because
one
is
contrary
to
the
other
,
and
works
contrarily
:
For
if
God
chasten
for
sin
,
the
thing
he
intends
is
humiliation
,
and
a
sense
of
sin
;
which
brings
forth
repentance
,
prayers
and
tears
,
and
they
bring
forth
deliverance
:
But
suffering
for
Christ
,
is
matter
of
great
glory
and
rejoycing
,
and
is
a
strong
justification
of
a
person
and
state
:
And
therefore
works
contrary
to
the
former
:
If
when
Go●
expects
humiliation
,
there
be
exaltation
,
it
doth
ordinarily
provoke
more
stripes
:
Therefore
pray
consider
seriously
what
I
say
,
because
it
tends
toward
deliverance
,
which
I
do
stil●
prosecute
.
The
sufferings
of
Christ
,
and
of
his
body
,
which
did
all
conform
to
him
their
head
,
were
of
this
nature
:
First
,
they
suffered
voluntarily
,
they
offered
themselves
a
sacrifice
,
willingly
and
chearfully
;
and
not
by
constraint
or
necessity
:
They
did
not
first
resist
,
oppose
,
war
,
and
suppress
others
,
and
then
suffer
,
when
they
could
fight
no
longer
.
Secondly
,
They
were
innocent
as
Lambs
,
never
attempted
any
evil
upon
any
people
.
Thirdly
,
They
loved
their
enemies
,
and
prayed
for
them
;
Christ
began
,
Father
forgive
them
,
they
know
not
what
they
do
:
the
first
that
followed
him
,
Saint
Stephen
,
did
the
like
,
Lord
lay
not
this
sin
to
their
charge
.
And
so
the
rest
:
And
this
,
in
faith
and
in
truth
,
which
made
it
effectual
:
They
were
very
far
from
designing
the
ruine
of
their
enemies
.
Fourthly
,
They
suffered
all
for
one
cause
,
for
the
Kingdom
and
patience
of
Jesus
:
to
witness
,
that
this
was
the
way
to
the
Kingdom
:
That
as
Christ
died
and
rose
again
,
so
they
should
likewise
rise
,
and
raign
with
him
,
if
they
suffered
with
him
:
I
could
say
more
,
but
I
forbear
:
Consider
your selves
,
and
compare
your
present
sufferings
with
his
and
the
Saints
of
old
.
If
you
do
profess
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
to
suffer
with
him
,
do
you
not
then
desert
,
either
all
,
or
the
chief
of
those
things
you
call
principles
,
upon
which
you
engaged
:
Is
not
this
contray
to
fighting
for
the
Parliament
,
or
for
the
liberties
of
the
people
?
Is
it
not
contrary
,
to
your
taking
up
the
sword
;
and
to
your
right
of
conquest
by
the
sword
,
to
raigning
and
ruling
by
force
?
They
are
surely
most
contrary
;
and
therefore
,
Christ
knowing
he
was
to
suffer
,
commanded
Peter
to
put
up
his
sword
,
and
gave
this
rule
for
ever
:
He
that
taketh
up
the
sword
(
to
defend
himself
from
suffering
,
or
to
fight
for
Christ
)
shall
perish
by
the
sword
.
Note
,
1.
We
took
up
the
sword
at
first
to
avoid
suffering
,
and
to
deliver
our selves
and
Party
.
2.
We
now
perish
by
that
sword
,
3.
If
we
now
begin
to
learn
,
what
we
then
refused
,
we
go
back
and
repent
of
all
these
twenty
years
work
:
We
may
I
think
well
do
it
,
as
it
was
our
work
;
and
therein
justifie
both
the
righteousness
of
God
in
his
works
,
and
our
honesty
and
innocency
in
serving
of
him
.
This
your
Profession
of
suffering
for
Christ
;
will
I
think
overthrow
all
your
active
dispensation
,
and
if
you
be
true
to
it
,
it
will
lead
you
to
an
open
declaration
,
of
the
change
of
your
minds
,
and
to
a
faithful
resolution
wholly
to
commit
your
cause
to
God
,
and
never
more
take
up
arms
to
deliver
your selves
,
and
destroy
others
:
If
you
can
do
this
;
pluck
up
this
root
of
bitterness
,
and
cut
out
this
core
,
it
will
be
a
great
ease
,
both
to
your selves
and
the
Nation
:
If
you
are
able
to
pull
it
up
,
and
remove
it
from
you
,
by
a
full
,
honest
and
clear
demonstration
of
your
hearts
and
minds
,
that
may
be
sufficient
to
satisfie
the
Magistrate
:
It
will
effect
one
of
these
two
things
;
Either
it
will
overcome
your
enemies
with
love
,
and
so
heal
all
the
distractions
of
the
Nation
;
Or
if
they
continue
to
persecute
,
after
such
a
declaration
of
your
minds
,
they
will
soon
break
themselves
:
For
by
love
and
patience
,
Christ
hath
and
doth
overcome
all
enmity
,
and
will
do
so
for
ever
;
it
is
the
most
certain
and
invincible
strength
that
ever
was
.
When
you
prosecuted
the
King
and
his
Party
,
beyond
bounds
and
measure
,
you
went
into
confusion
;
and
there
lost
your selves
:
And
if
they
should
be
guilty
of
the
same
thing
,
and
pursue
a
weak
,
faln
people
,
beyond
the
measure
set
by
God
;
the
same
confusion
,
will
be
in
their
affairs
,
that
was
in
yours
.
I
think
this
of
your
present
sufferings
:
That
in
a
large
and
common
sense
,
they
are
the
sufferings
of
Christ
;
as
the
sufferings
of
all
men
are
his
,
so
far
as
they
are
humane
,
though
weak
:
In
all
their
afflictions
he
is
afflicted
:
The
sins
and
sufferings
of
all
are
laid
upon
him
:
We
all
like
sheep
have
gone
astray
,
and
the
Lord
hath
laid
upon
him
the
iniquities
of
us
all
;
and
as
our
sins
,
so
our
sorrows
:
Surely
he
hath
born
our
griefs
,
and
carried
our
sorrows
:
Even
of
all
Parties
,
and
of
the
worst
of
all
,
not
the
godly
only
,
but
the
wicked
;
not
the
obedient
only
,
but
the
rebells
:
He
made
his
grave
with
the
wicked
:
Even
for
the
rebellious
,
that
the
Lord
God
might
dwell
amongst
them
.
Therefore
we
do
see
,
that
all
Parties
are
enabled
to
suffer
for
that
Cause
they
engage
in
:
And
do
find
mercy
to
pardon
their
sins
,
and
strength
to
suffer
death
:
The
common
resolution
of
a
man
,
strengthened
with
the
common
grace
of
the
Gospel
,
and
with
any
measure
of
common
honesty
,
or
an
opinion
of
the
justice
and
truth
of
their
cause
,
do
carry
men
off
the
stage
of
the
world
,
into
death
,
handsomly
and
steadily
:
That
some
of
you
,
that
have
suffered
,
have
met
with
more
peace
,
and
more
innocency
,
in
suffering
,
then
in
acting
:
And
more
love
,
and
comfort
,
in
a
prison
and
death
,
then
in
a
corrupt
,
toylsom
,
and
sinful
life
,
in
war
and
contests
;
I
do
not
wonder
,
and
yet
cannot
magnifie
it
as
Martyrdom
.
This
I
am
bold
to
affirm
;
That
Christ
hath
not
yet
in
these
times
,
so
clearly
or
visibly
set
up
his
standard
,
and
gathered
a
people
to
it
,
into
distinction
from
other
men
;
as
to
commit
his
name
,
truth
,
and
cross
,
wholly
and
only
to
them
:
Nor
hath
he
formed
a
body
,
by
any
law
,
rule
,
spirit
,
or
ministry
,
into
an
outward
profession
,
under
any
visible
charracters
,
as
he
did
in
the
Primitive
times
:
And
therefore
there
are
none
,
whose
sufferings
can
challenge
this
peculiar
honour
,
of
fighting
under
this
standard
,
the
Cross
of
Christ
.
Therefore
I
do
much
fear
,
that
this
profession
,
and
glorying
in
the
Cross
,
will
cost
you
dear
,
and
involve
you
in
deeper
sufferings
,
then
you
are
aware
of
:
You
will
sooner
come
to
a
true
feeling
of
your selves
,
and
a
sober
sense
of
your
condition
,
if
you
would
sink
down
into
your
confession
,
and
acknowledgement
of
the
righteous
hand
of
God
upon
you
for
your
sins
:
And
alas
,
not
so
much
for
your
personal
sins
,
as
for
the
evil
state
and
spirit
,
in
which
you
have
acted
:
Against
it
hath
God
very
great
indignation
:
I
feel
in
my
soul
,
God
hath
great
pitty
to
your
persons
as
men
,
and
as
his
creatures
and
servants
:
And
because
as
weak
men
,
you
have
been
deceived
and
misled
:
But
that
corrupt
state
,
and
that
spirit
that
misled
you
,
is
judged
for
ever
,
and
never
can
,
nor
shall
recover
.
It
is
not
the
lowness
of
a
condition
,
that
keeps
a
people
down
;
but
the
unsoundness
of
it
:
Were
we
once
true
and
single
,
we
should
find
rest
and
peace
,
in
the
worst
things
,
and
deliverance
out
of
them
:
The
upright
may
and
shall
rejoyce
,
in
the
hottest
fires
,
and
soon
come
forth
:
But
a
false
and
unsound
state
,
must
fall
from
heaven
,
though
it
be
exalted
thither
.
To
fall
under
sin
and
shame
;
to
be
humbled
under
the
feet
of
the
vilest
creatures
in
the
world
;
to
bear
,
first
our
own
sins
,
and
then
the
wrath
,
scorn
,
and
revenge
of
all
the
world
:
Is
nearer
to
Christ
,
shews
more
of
innocency
then
t●
〈◊〉
our selves
:
For
the
first
part
of
〈◊〉
Christian
righteousness
,
is
to
bear
sin
,
to
judge
and
condemn
our selves
,
and
to
intercede
for
others
:
To
justifie
our selves
,
and
condemn
others
,
is
very
contrary
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
:
This
may
seem
,
and
is
strange
to
men
,
but
the
mysterie
of
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
will
open
it
to
them
that
seek
wisdom
.
To
conclude
this
point
,
I
do
judge
,
that
as
there
was
confusion
in
your
actings
,
so
there
is
in
your
sufferings
:
And
though
you
are
much
to
be
pittied
,
yet
not
to
be
justified
in
them
,
or
for
them
:
There
is
much
mixtures
in
them
:
Ingagements
and
necessity
,
make
men
stout
in
their
way
:
Naturally
,
what
men
cannot
make
good
by
wisdom
and
power
,
they
will
maintain
by
resolution
in
suffering
:
It
is
easier
far
,
for
men
to
do
so
,
and
die
,
then
to
repent
:
A
false
spirit
and
zeal
will
carry
men
out
in
suffering
,
even
to
death
it self
,
as
well
as
a
true
:
Yea
the
anguish
and
pain
,
of
so
great
a
disappointment
,
will
make
men
chuse
rather
to
die
,
then
to
live
in
the
shame
and
disgrace
of
it
:
Shame
is
the
greatest
affliction
to
some
tempers
:
And
therefore
it
is
easier
to
die
,
then
to
yield
,
confess
,
and
give
glory
.
If
there
should
be
none
of
all
this
in
your
present
sufferings
,
yet
so
long
,
as
there
is
bitter
envying
,
and
strife
in
your
hearts
,
glory
not
,
and
lie
not
against
the
truth
,
Jam.
3.14
.
So
long
as
you
suffer
,
to
bring
others
to
suffering
;
and
are
willing
to
endure
for
a
time
,
that
others
might
utterly
be
destroyed
;
So
long
as
you
pursue
your
old
design
,
of
destroying
,
though
it
be
,
by
and
through
this
deep
counsel
of
your
own
,
suffering
first
;
Glory
not
as
if
it
were
the
Gross
of
Christ
:
You
lye
against
the
truth
;
against
the
true
and
meek
suffering
of
the
Lamb
of
God
;
which
is
not
to
destroy
,
but
to
save
mens
lives
:
Therefore
neither
your
life
nor
death
is
like
his
;
neither
your
Religion
,
Worship
,
nor
suffering
.
The
rebuke
of
our
Lord
to
his
Disciples
,
is
proper
for
you
;
when
they
would
have
had
fire
from
heaven
to
consume
their
enemies
,
the
Samaritans
,
because
they
opposed
them
,
in
their
way
;
it
is
said
,
Luke
9.55
.
He
turned
and
rebuked
them
,
and
said
,
Ye
know
not
what
manner
of
spirit
ye
are
of
:
I
am
certain
you
know
not
,
what
spirit
it
is
,
that
leads
you
in
all
this
.
Therefore
as
I
have
been
and
am
against
your
actings
;
so
I
am
against
your
sufferings
,
not
only
because
they
are
impure
and
not
evangelical
;
but
because
I
pi
ty
both
you
that
suffer
,
and
them
that
inflict
them
:
I
know
the
nature
of
man
,
and
of
Christ
,
is
sorely
and
grievously
injured
in
both
.
And
therefore
it
concerns
me
,
and
every
good
Christian
,
to
do
what
we
can
,
to
deliver
you
,
and
them
from
this
turmoyl
:
It
is
my
desire
,
and
must
be
my
endeavour
.
SECT.
XVII
.
I
Had
now
concluded
with
a
proposal
for
peace
,
had
not
this
late
Insurrection
drawn
forth
my
mind
,
to
a
consideration
of
it
:
Which
although
it
be
a
very
monstrous
and
strange
thing
,
yet
it
doth
so
much
agree
,
to
what
I
have
written
in
this
Treatise
,
that
I
cannot
but
animadvert
upon
it
,
and
enquire
into
the
nature
and
reason
of
it
.
I
have
largely
discoursed
of
this
spirit
of
wrath
and
opposition
:
And
shewed
the
evil
and
danger
of
it
:
That
if
it
be
admitted
into
the
mind
,
and
into
Religious
exercises
,
in
deprecating
,
cursing
and
condemning
;
it
will
raign
,
and
not
be
confined
;
but
will
break
out
into
war
and
open
hostility
,
in
pag.
162
,
163.
these
words
are
opened
,
Out
of
the
Serpents
root
,
comes
forth
a
Cock
trice
,
and
his
fruit
is
a
fiery
flying
Serpent
:
The
old
Serpent
,
the
Devil
,
is
the
root
of
all
malice
:
from
him
and
his
spawn
,
comes
forth
this
hissing
Adder
or
Cockatrice
,
cursing
:
If
this
be
hatched
in
Religion
,
and
fed
with
zeal
and
holy
duties
,
it
will
soon
get
wings
,
and
flame
forth
,
in
attempts
to
war
:
This
is
,
I
think
,
a
natural
and
true
description
on
of
this
fiery
flying
Serpent
,
that
flamed
out
and
flew
abroad
in
this
late
Insurrection
.
It
seems
,
while
I
was
writing
against
it
,
the
thing
was
hatching
:
I
was
by
a
secret
spring
in
my
mind
,
directed
to
write
of
that
subject
,
not
only
beyond
my
thoughts
,
when
I
began
to
write
,
but
contrary
to
the
disposition
of
my
soul
;
which
did
often
turn
away
from
the
consideration
of
such
black
,
dark
,
and
hellish
spirits
and
practises
:
But
though
my
mind
be
very
averse
from
taking
pleasure
,
in
raking
in
such
filthy
sores
,
yet
I
could
not
resist
the
power
and
justice
of
that
reason
,
that
led
me
into
a
discourse
of
them
:
I
see
,
there
is
a
secret
intercourse
betwixt
reason
,
and
the
causes
or
principles
of
things
:
True
understanding
knows
things
,
as
fully
in
their
causes
,
as
sense
doth
in
their
effects
:
There
is
nothing
so
deep
or
dark
,
but
it
is
subject
to
be
seen
and
over-seen
,
by
the
light
of
right
reason
:
True
reason
is
the
image
of
God
,
and
one
with
that
supream
wisdom
that
rules
all
things
:
And
therefore
will
be
justified
and
fulfilled
,
by
him
that
is
the
head
and
Father
of
it
.
This
I
write
not
in
the
subtilty
of
wit
,
and
Philosophical
observation
,
but
in
authority
:
And
do
require
of
all
men
,
not
only
consideration
of
,
but
subjection
to
the
righteousness
and
truth
of
what
is
written
:
I
know
I
am
alone
in
what
I
write
;
and
not
only
singular
,
but
something
strange
and
different
,
from
all
mens
present
notion
of
things
:
I
know
also
my
person
is
mean
and
contemptible
:
Yet
there
is
that
justice
,
and
truth
of
reason
,
in
what
I
write
,
that
I
dare
challenge
,
in
the
sight
of
God
and
man
,
that
it
should
be
considered
.
What
is
truly
reasonable
or
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
is
both
humane
and
divine
,
and
therefore
they
that
refuse
it
,
must
first
,
sin
against
their
own
mercy
,
their
own
life
:
For
the
word
or
reason
of
God
,
is
our
life
,
and
tha●
by
which
all
men
,
Nations
and
Kingdoms
subsist
:
Therefore
to
depart
from
the
rule
and
reason
of
our
beings
,
must
necessarily
be
,
the
confusion
and
destruction
of
that
life
,
and
being
:
And
secondly
,
to
refuse
the
truth
of
reason
,
is
a
sin
against
the
most
high
,
who
is
Lord
and
Father
of
that
reason
:
And
therefore
if
he
fulfill
his
own
image
,
his
word
and
reason
in
man
,
then
he
must
bow
all
states
,
and
powers
to
it
:
Which
he
will
certainly
do
,
in
justice
to
his
own
mind
and
law
,
and
in
mercy
to
men
:
For
nothing
is
better
for
man
,
then
that
he
should
be
ruled
,
by
the
law
of
his
own
nature
,
and
by
his
reason
enlightened
from
,
and
in
union
with
,
the
divine
and
eternal
mind
.
I
have
some
reason
to
urge
this
,
because
in
the
Inquisition
I
proposed
unto
his
Majesty
,
and
desired
a
tryal
of
mens
opinions
,
spirits
and
principles
;
by
spiritual
persons
,
and
by
the
Law
of
God
and
reason
;
As
the
only
way
of
curing
the
distmpers
of
the
Nation
,
which
lie
in
the
spirits
and
judgements
of
men
:
And
are
the
roots
,
that
bring
forth
these
ill
fruits
,
of
rebellion
:
But
it
seems
the
proposal
I
made
,
was
either
unseasonable
,
or
otherwise
so
weak
and
obscure
,
(
I
would
blame
none
but
my self
)
that
it
was
not
considered
,
or
if
considered
,
it
was
rejected
by
his
Majesty
:
As
it
was
neglected
by
his
Majesty
,
so
the
other
side
,
did
exceedingly
scorn
and
revile
it
,
and
me
for
writing
of
it
:
Whatever
weakness
there
be
in
the
things
there
written
,
for
which
it
may
justly
suffer
,
both
neglect
and
contempt
,
yet
there
is
that
truth
and
reason
in
it
,
as
will
stand
before
God
,
and
must
be
acknowledged
by
men
:
For
what
is
reason
and
truth
,
agrees
with
the
rule
and
Law
of
the
most
high
God
,
and
therefore
must
sway
and
rule
,
all
States
and
Kingdoms
:
And
what
is
truth
and
reason
,
and
so
one
with
the
eternal
mind
,
will
be
either
more
true
,
or
more
evidently
so
,
to
morrow
then
to
day
:
And
consequently
that
which
refuses
it
,
will
be
found
weaker
and
worse
by
refusing
of
it
:
I
sensibly
find
that
both
Parties
are
farther
from
that
great
blessing
of
peace
and
happiness
,
then
they
were
before
they
refused
it
,
and
the
Nation
more
disturbed
:
Let
us
enquire
into
the
reason
on
both
sides
,
and
then
possibly
another
Proposition
of
peace
may
find
better
acceptance
:
If
reason
be
so
weak
,
as
not
to
prevail
,
it
will
be
confirmed
and
strengthened
by
experience
:
And
so
our
losses
will
become
our
advantage
,
if
we
be
made
wise
by
our
failings
.
Let
us
first
observe
the
process
of
things
.
After
his
Majesties
return
,
there
was
by
the
sweetness
and
gentleness
of
his
Government
,
a
great
calmness
and
stilness
in
the
Nation
;
and
in
a
degree
,
in
the
most
opposite
:
The
trying
,
condemning
,
and
executing
of
the
prisoners
,
for
the
death
of
his
late
Majesty
,
stirred
a
new
passion
in
the
spirits
of
many
people
:
And
the
execution
,
together
with
the
resolution
of
the
sufferers
,
revived
a
zeal
,
confidence
,
and
boasting
of
their
cause
,
and
an
extraordinary
earnestness
in
their
minds
;
which
was
expressed
in
incessant
meetings
,
discourses
and
prayers
day
and
night
:
These
passions
and
religious
exercises
,
boyl
up
their
minds
,
into
new
heats
,
which
kindled
this
wild-fire
,
and
at
last
blowed
it
up
,
into
this
open
Insurrection
.
That
you
may
understand
the
reason
of
these
things
,
let
it
be
considered
,
what
I
have
expressed
in
this
and
the
former
Treatise
.
1.
That
God
had
a
controversie
with
this
Church
and
Nation
,
because
of
its
sins
,
and
its
sinful
state
and
standing
;
not
with
the
things
themselves
,
only
as
they
stood
in
darkness
and
weakenss
.
2.
God
must
have
some
to
plead
this
controversie
,
with
the
Government
and
Governors
of
Church
and
State
.
3.
Those
that
he
called
forth
for
that
purpose
,
he
inspires
and
impowers
,
with
spirit
for
that
work
.
4.
The
seat
and
subject
of
this
spirit
,
and
ministry
,
is
the
judgements
and
consciences
of
men
:
For
men
,
by
being
inspired
,
and
led
into
opinions
and
judgements
,
contrary
to
the
received
Law
of
the
Church
,
are
thereby
fitted
to
be
instruments
in
Gods
hand
,
of
his
displeasure
,
to
the
Church
:
For
the
Church
cannot
be
tried
,
but
by
such
spirits
and
judgements
,
which
differ
from
it
,
and
are
contrary
to
it
.
5.
They
that
are
thus
impowered
for
such
a
service
,
so
far
as
they
do
the
will
of
the
most
high
Lord
in
it
,
are
to
be
owned
and
justified
:
Though
the
office
be
never
so
mean
,
and
never
so
contrary
to
●he
honours
,
wills
and
wayes
of
States
and
Kingdoms
;
yet
it
is
the
rod
of
God
,
and
must
be
kissed
.
6.
These
ministers
of
this
displeasure
,
have
transgressed
,
exceeded
●he●r
Commission
,
and
exalted
themselves
in
their
service
:
And
so
corrupted
themselves
and
defiled
their
work
:
This
also
is
true
.
Therefore
there
is
,
in
them
that
have
executed
this
displeasure
,
and
in
their
consciences
and
work
,
something
that
is
just
,
and
something
that
is
unjust
and
unrighteous
:
Till
these
are
distinguished
,
there
is
no
right
judgement
of
them
.
It
must
also
be
considered
,
and
it
is
granted
by
all
Divines
,
That
the
works
of
divine
Providence
and
Government
,
are
executed
,
by
the
administration
of
Angels
:
Both
the
standing
and
changing
of
Governments
,
is
by
the
ministry
of
these
principalities
and
powers
:
Therefore
in
the
great
revolutions
of
this
Kingdom
,
both
good
and
bad
Angels
have
been
employed
:
They
being
spirits
,
their
proper
sphere
in
which
they
move
,
is
the
spirits
and
consciences
of
men
.
Therefore
it
follows
,
that
as
there
hath
been
in
these
great
Providences
,
a
righteous
work
of
God
,
and
with
it
much
unrighteousness
;
so
there
are
,
both
Angels
of
light
,
and
of
darkness
,
inspiring
the
minds
and
consciences
of
men
:
Now
to
administer
justice
upon
men
,
that
have
acted
in
these
things
without
any
judgement
made
,
of
the
principles
and
spirits
,
that
have
moved
in
them
,
cannot
be
thought
to
be
perfect
,
nor
a
right
way
to
cure
our
distractions
:
For
outward
punishments
upon
the
body
,
will
not
remove
the
evils
,
that
are
planted
by
spirits
in
the
consciences
and
judgements
of
men
.
1.
For
all
men
know
:
First
,
That
if
there
be
but
a
little
truth
and
uprightness
,
in
any
conscience
,
it
will
bear
up
the
person
,
in
the
greatest
outward
suffering
:
Neither
death
,
nor
hell
,
are
able
to
over-power
,
the
least
grain
of
honesty
,
in
the
poorest
wretch
that
ever
lived
:
That
which
is
sincere
,
is
able
to
live
and
triumph
under
many
sins
and
sufferings
:
and
will
never
yield
till
right
be
done
to
it
.
2.
Mens
spirits
and
consciences
,
and
the
spirits
that
inspire
and
lead
them
,
are
above
the
reach
of
the
secular
sword
,
and
only
subject
to
the
Scepter
of
Christ
,
in
his
Church
;
to
the
sword
of
the
Spirit
.
3.
Conscience
,
though
erroneous
and
seduced
,
will
enable
men
,
to
suffer
bodily
punishment
,
imprisonment
and
death
,
with
great
chearfulness
:
And
if
they
are
laid
upon
men
,
without
the
means
of
conviction
,
they
do
harden
men
in
errour
.
And
therefore
legal
proceedings
,
only
to
bodily
punishments
,
are
not
sufficient
remedies
to
cure
these
distempers
:
The
case
of
the
Nation
,
under
its
present
distempers
,
is
certainly
extraordinary
,
and
far
different
from
what
it
was
an
hundred
or
fifty
years
since
:
Great
variety
of
spirits
are
gone
forth
,
which
have
raised
up
the
minds
of
men
to
a
greater
height
of
reason
,
religion
and
resolution
:
And
old
ordinary
remedies
,
will
not
cure
,
new
and
extraordinary
diseases
.
If
the
Physick
,
be
not
proper
to
cure
,
and
remove
the
disease
,
it
will
by
stirring
the
humours
,
and
enraging
of
them
,
make
dangerous
commotions
in
the
body
.
For
if
men
,
either
from
some
measure
of
simplicity
,
be
it
in
the
least
degree
,
and
much
mixed
;
or
from
some
spiritual
operation
,
be
it
of
what
kind
it
will
;
or
from
an
erroneous
conscience
:
If
from
any
of
these
,
the
sufferer
be
able
to
repell
the
Sentence
of
the
Judge
,
and
to
glory
in
his
suffering
,
and
in
a
shew
of
righteousness
,
to
triumph
over
death
;
he
doth
notably
affront
and
wound
that
authority
and
judgement
under
which
he
suffers
.
A
man
and
his
cause
when
he
comes
to
judgement
,
is
brought
out
into
the
open
view
of
all
men
,
and
not
only
made
publick
,
but
he
and
his
cause
,
is
exalted
,
to
endure
a
conflict
and
tryal
with
the
Law
:
If
the
Law
comes
forth
,
with
that
brightness
and
majesty
(
that
it
ought
)
the
man
is
condemned
in
his
own
conscience
,
and
so
justifies
the
Law
,
and
submits
to
his
sentence
,
and
by
this
the
Law
and
Authority
is
honoured
:
But
if
the
person
judged
,
stands
clear
in
his
own
conscience
,
upon
any
account
,
and
acquits
himself
,
in
the
face
of
dead
)
(
when
all
men
ordinarily
yield
)
such
have
a
kind
of
conquest
,
and
do
seem
to
overcome
the
sentence
;
which
must
needs
have
an
effect
upon
the
people
.
For
people
do
naturally
mind
dying
men
,
death
is
King
of
terrours
,
and
it
is
a
great
thing
to
die
,
it
raises
men
on
high
:
And
therefore
in
them
that
can
die
comfortably
,
and
confidently
,
there
is
a
great
appearance
of
righteousness
and
worth
;
which
doth
much
affect
the
minds
of
people
;
some
are
moved
to
pitty
the
sufferer
,
and
thereby
his
words
and
cause
steals
into
their
minds
:
Others
are
convinced
,
and
drawn
to
the
Party
;
Others
are
hardened
and
strengthened
by
it
:
For
men
think
with
themselves
,
I
cannot
live
comfortably
,
bur
here
is
that
which
will
make
me
able
to
die
comfortably
,
and
that
is
worth
embracing
.
That
which
makes
the
Magistrate
to
be
feared
and
reverenced
,
is
his
power
of
life
and
death
:
That
which
makes
men
able
to
overcome
death
,
secretly
overcomes
the
Magistrate
:
For
every
one
that
goes
out
of
the
world
glorying
in
his
righteousness
,
makes
a
breath
,
both
in
death
,
and
in
the
authority
that
inflicts
it
:
And
when
it
comes
to
be
easie
and
familiar
,
as
it
will
by
a
little
practise
,
Authority
and
Magistracy
it self
will
be
,
by
such
despised
.
I
shall
commend
to
the
Magistrate
an
Observation
of
mine
own
,
concerning
the
nature
of
man
:
That
he
may
consider
what
he
governs
,
and
how
he
ought
to
govern
him
.
Man
is
a
noble
and
stout
creature
:
There
is
so
much
of
the
majesty
of
the
image
of
God
in
faln
man
,
that
he
retains
much
of
the
greatness
,
though
he
have
lost
his
goodness
:
There
lies
raked
up
in
this
dust
,
an
invincible
spirit
,
that
never
will
be
subdued
by
force
:
God
could
never
break
the
rebellion
of
the
Israelites
,
by
all
his
punishments
upon
them
:
And
therefore
sayes
,
Why
should
ye
be
stricken
any
more
?
ye
will
revolt
more
and
more
,
Isa.
1.5
.
All
the
terrours
of
the
Law
,
could
never
subject
Paul
,
but
he
sayes
himself
,
When
the
commandment
came
,
sin
revived
,
and
I
died
,
Rom.
7.9
.
When
the
law
came
,
with
terrour
against
him
,
then
fin
roused
up
it self
unto
a
desperate
opposition
:
There
being
such
stoutness
in
mans
heart
,
that
all
the
force
of
the
Law
could
not
subdue
,
God
sent
his
Son
,
in
love
to
this
stout
creature
,
to
take
his
flesh
,
and
so
to
soften
and
overcome
it
;
and
in
it
,
to
destroy
both
Law
and
sin
:
This
will
shew
us
what
is
in
man
.
There
is
as
much
of
this
courage
and
greatness
of
spirit
,
in
the
English
,
as
in
any
people
under
heaven
;
which
is
very
much
awakened
in
these
times
,
both
by
the
wars
,
and
by
long
liberty
,
and
a
free
exercise
of
their
minds
in
Religion
.
For
first
,
the
people
were
inspired
and
impowered
,
to
execute
the
determined
displeasure
of
God
,
upon
the
Church
and
Nation
,
which
exalted
them
,
and
subjected
the
Church
and
Nation
under
them
:
Having
(
as
they
think
)
judged
the
former
state
of
Religion
,
they
have
opportunity
and
liberty
,
to
erect
several
new
forms
of
Religion
,
which
is
an
act
of
spiritual
principality
and
power
,
and
not
without
zeal
for
God
,
and
obedience
to
his
Law
:
By
these
things
,
the
genius
of
the
Nation
,
and
the
natural
stoutness
of
the
people
,
is
much
lightened
and
encreased
:
And
therefore
to
reduce
them
into
that
state
,
that
they
think
they
have
judged
;
and
to
destroy
all
their
little
principalities
,
set
up
in
their
consciences
;
only
by
outward
force
,
or
by
the
meer
letter
of
that
Law
,
which
they
have
condemned
;
without
a
superiour
Law
,
that
judges
them
and
their
work
,
to
my
reason
seems
not
only
impossible
,
but
dangerous
.
Let
the
whole
be
considered
,
and
it
will
be
found
;
That
meer
legal
and
outward
punishments
,
upon
such
a
people
,
so
spirited
and
principled
,
so
employed
and
exercised
;
if
their
consciences
and
spirits
be
nor
first
fairly
heard
,
judged
,
and
convinced
,
will
inflame
their
minds
into
such
a
mad
and
desperate
spirit
,
as
appeared
in
the
late
Insurrection
into
hardness
and
insensibility
of
death
and
danger
;
which
is
the
greatest
enemy
to
Government
that
can
be
:
For
it
turns
men
into
wild
beasts
,
not
to
be
ruled
by
humane
Laws
:
And
though
they
do
attain
nothing
to
themselves
,
yet
they
may
give
disturbance
;
and
force
the
Magistrate
from
all
humane
and
divine
wayes
,
of
love
and
gentleness
,
into
violence
and
perpetual
severity
;
and
fill
the
whole
Nation
with
continual
troubles
and
distractions
.
It
is
true
,
the
Magistrate
is
bound
by
all
bonds
of
Law
,
of
reason
and
nature
,
to
suppress
and
punish
rebellion
:
But
when
the
seeds
of
rebellion
,
lie
in
the
mind
and
conscience
,
the
spiritual
sword
is
as
necessary
as
the
secular
;
and
the
one
not
effectual
without
the
other
:
What
is
written
in
this
Treatise
,
will
I
hope
satisfie
,
them
that
will
read
and
consider
,
that
there
is
with
us
,
in
the
Church
,
a
spirit
and
understanding
,
that
will
reach
the
root
of
rebellion
in
the
mind
,
and
fully
convince
the
conscience
:
Which
being
joyned
to
the
civil
authority
,
is
sufficient
to
cure
and
heal
the
Church
and
Nation
.
On
the
other
side
,
I
must
desire
the
present
suffering
Party
,
that
were
so
highly
offended
at
my
Book
,
and
at
my
proposition
for
the
tryal
of
principles
,
that
they
consider
how
much
lower
they
are
now
faln
:
There
was
certainly
a
loftiness
and
unsubjection
of
mind
,
unsutable
to
their
condition
,
expressed
in
a
glorying
and
boasting
,
of
their
old
cause
and
state
,
which
hath
brought
forth
this
contempt
and
suffering
upon
them
:
I
do
believe
,
that
this
late
Insurrection
,
was
the
work
of
a
few
rash
and
unreasonable
men
:
And
do
find
,
that
all
sober
men
do
express
a
great
abhorrency
of
the
act
,
with
resolution
to
wait
patiently
upon
God
for
their
deliverance
:
Which
truly
I
rejoyce
in
:
Yet
the
whole
Party
;
lying
under
the
shame
of
these
mens
folly
and
madness
;
they
must
seriously
and
deeply
consider
,
how
far
they
yet
stand
,
unhumbled
,
and
unconvinced
,
of
those
principles
,
that
carried
these
men
into
this
practise
:
Principles
lie
deep
,
and
when
once
they
get
rooting
in
the
mind
,
they
are
like
ill
weeds
in
a
garden
,
not
presently
destroyed
:
Many
times
the
judgement
is
enlightened
against
them
;
yet
they
have
a
root
in
the
heart
,
which
will
spring
up
,
if
not
quite
eradicated
:
Their
appearing
in
others
,
and
the
evil
fruit
they
bear
,
is
a
good
means
to
beget
an
utter
detestation
of
them
:
To
make
you
sensible
of
the
hand
of
God
upon
you
,
and
to
help
to
clear
your
minds
wholly
of
them
,
I
only
propound
these
queries
to
you
.
1.
First
,
Whether
those
principles
upon
which
they
acted
,
of
the
Cause
and
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
and
the
honour
and
priviledge
of
the
Saints
,
above
and
against
the
world
:
Have
not
been
received
into
the
minds
and
spirits
of
most
men
(
more
or
less
)
that
have
erected
new
Churches
,
and
new
Governments
in
the
Nation
?
Secondly
,
Whether
the
same
principles
,
and
the
hopes
of
such
things
,
be
not
that
which
fills
your
heads
and
hearts
,
with
multitude
of
prayers
and
great
confidences
,
that
you
shall
yet
prevail
,
and
your
enemies
be
destroyed
?
And
so
though
your
understandings
be
more
prudent
then
others
,
yet
whether
the
same
things
,
be
not
yet
in
your
faith
,
affections
and
duties
?
Thirdly
,
Whether
these
spirits
and
principles
,
have
not
had
a
great
influence
,
upon
the
whole
business
a
long
time
?
If
so
,
then
if
they
be
not
rooted
out
,
by
repentance
and
change
of
mind
,
they
lie
not
still
in
the
heart
,
though
they
seem
not
to
act
and
appear
?
Fourthly
,
Whether
men
being
upon
an
extraordinary
bottom
,
as
the
Saints
of
God
,
distinct
from
others
;
And
exercising
themselves
in
extraordinary
duties
;
with
extraordinary
hopes
and
confidences
,
of
extraordinary
deliverances
;
Are
not
thereby
disposed
and
prepared
to
attempt
extraordinary
things
,
to
attain
these
extraordinary
ends
?
If
so
,
then
you
are
drinking
the
same
wine
,
that
intoxicated
their
heads
that
rose
;
only
they
are
weaker
,
and
you
more
able
to
bear
it
:
Remember
Solomons
counsel
:
Who
hath
sorrow
?
who
hath
contention
?
who
hath
babling
?
who
hath
wounds
without
cause
?
They
that
tarry
long
at
the
wine
,
they
that
go
to
seck
mixed
wine
.
Fifthly
,
Whether
these
high
and
great
thoughts
,
upon
future
things
,
do
not
,
1.
Lift
up
the
mind
,
into
an
unsubjection
unto
this
Providence
of
God
,
that
layes
you
low
,
and
exalts
others
?
2ly
Alienate
your
minds
from
the
present
Government
?
3ly
Unsettle
your
spirits
,
to
an
unwillingness
to
peace
?
4ly
Deny
you
the
use
of
your
reason
for
your
present
safety
?
5ly
And
draw
your
minds
from
the
present
duties
of
love
,
forgiveness
,
subjection
to
authority
,
and
to
such
plain
,
honest
things
,
●●at
the
Law
of
God
,
and
the
moral
reason
of
man
leads
him
to
:
I
have
found
much
evil
in
this
false
Prophet
,
who
carrying
out
the
mind
,
by
false
representations
of
future
things
,
and
filling
the
head
with
them
,
leave
no
room
for
the
exercise
of
our
Reason
or
Religion
upon
present
things
.
I
do
hope
,
you
do
by
experience
see
,
how
these
high
strains
,
swelling
the
mind
with
spiritual
pride
,
leads
it
into
irrational
and
destructive
wayes
:
It
hath
done
so
from
the
beginning
,
and
doth
so
still
:
My
only
end
in
this
,
is
to
improve
this
experience
;
to
humble
your
minds
,
to
take
you
off
from
these
deluding
spirits
;
And
to
bring
you
to
a
sober
sense
of
your selves
,
and
of
the
present
state
of
things
:
And
to
prepare
you
,
for
a
rational
and
Christian
proposition
of
peace
,
which
I
shall
now
commend
to
you
,
and
to
all
the
Nation
.
Sect.
XVIII
.
THe
Church
and
Nation
is
miserably
broken
and
divided
:
Division
is
at
first
into
two
parts
;
and
where
it
begins
it
ends
:
I
shall
therefore
consider
but
two
great
parts
of
the
Nation
:
First
such
as
are
for
the
present
Government
and
Governors
of
Church
and
State
,
as
now
it
stands
by
Law
.
Secondly
,
Such
as
differ
from
either
,
be
it
more
or
less
:
Presbyterians
,
Independants
,
Anabaptists
,
Fifth-monarchy
men
,
Quakers
,
or
any
others
,
I
would
refuse
none
to
treat
with
them
:
Peace
is
comprehensive
,
and
in
a
plaister
,
as
large
as
our
sores
are
or
can
be
:
I
have
already
shewed
some
reason
,
why
peace
,
if
it
be
true
,
must
comprehend
all
.
If
there
be
a
peace
,
it
must
be
an
agreement
;
There
cannot
be
an
agreement
,
but
by
understanding
of
one
another
:
There
can
never
be
an
understanding
one
of
another
,
without
a
treaty
,
and
a
fair
or
friendly
debate
.
My
Proposal
in
my
former
Book
,
was
to
his
Majesty
;
this
I
direct
immediately
to
you
,
that
are
by
your
disaffection
to
the
Government
in
affliction
;
possibly
the
sense
of
your
troubles
,
may
make
you
willing
,
to
seek
to
his
Majesty
for
peace
,
and
in
order
to
it
,
for
a
he●ring
and
treaty
:
which
is
the
thing
I
move
●or
.
First
give
me
leave
to
suppose
,
that
you
are
men
,
reasonable
men
;
and
therefore
able
to
give
a
reason
of
your
way
,
and
to
receive
and
understand
reason
,
if
it
be
offered
to
you
:
And
being
so
,
you
are
fit
to
treate
,
and
sit
to
be
treated
with
:
And
you
having
reason
,
ought
to
exercise
it
in
treaty
;
and
it
is
as
due
to
you
,
that
you
should
be
reasonably
treated
,
and
used
as
men
,
and
not
as
beasts
.
As
I
suppose
you
reasonable
,
so
give
me
leave
to
suppose
your
adversaries
reasonable
:
And
so
able
,
both
to
give
a
reason
of
what
they
do
,
and
to
hear
reason
against
it
.
It
is
a
very
small
charity
,
that
I
beg
of
both
sides
,
that
you
would
think
your
adversaries
reasonable
creatures
,
and
to
be
treated
accordingly
:
Yet
if
I
could
obtain
this
,
that
you
would
so
speak
,
think
,
and
do
;
we
should
have
one
stone
laid
of
peace
:
And
a
good
ground
to
begin
upon
.
Both
Parties
being
admitted
to
be
reasonble
,
which
cannot
be
denyed
,
without
great
breach
of
that
common
charity
,
that
is
due
betwixt
men
and
men
:
This
will
bring
men
,
to
exercise
this
reason
,
one
towards
another
,
and
to
lay
aside
brutish
rage
,
and
womanish
passions
.
Consider
in
the
next
place
,
that
the
matters
of
difference
,
and
to
be
agreed
,
are
things
subject
to
reason
:
I
intend
to
propound
for
the
present
,
only
civil
peace
and
agreement
,
laying
aside
matters
of
Religion
,
till
this
be
attained
:
Matters
of
Civil
pe●ce
,
in
order
to
mutual
safety
,
are
things
,
within
the
compass
of
all
mens
reasons
and
natures
:
All
Nations
have
and
use
this
reason
,
and
by
it
attain
peace
both
amongst
themselves
,
and
with
other
Nations
:
Nations
that
are
at
the
greatest
distance
,
in
their
natures
,
tempers
and
religions
,
do
agree
,
and
that
meerly
by
the
use
of
that
common
reason
that
all
men
partake
of
:
And
why
English-men
should
not
have
so
much
reason
,
as
to
understand
one
another
,
and
agree
together
,
I
know
not
.
Let
us
therefore
take
as
clear
a
view
,
of
the
divided
Parties
as
we
can
,
and
let
both
sides
be
reasonably
considered
:
For
it
is
the
mist
and
cloud
about
us
,
that
confounds
and
disturbs
us
.
On
the
one
side
,
there
is
his
Majesty
,
Nobility
,
Clergy
,
and
the
people
of
the
Nation
:
And
with
them
Authority
,
Government
,
and
Magistracy
,
both
of
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
which
are
great
Ordinances
of
God
:
And
these
standing
upon
a
firm
,
stable
foundation
of
Law
,
deeply
rooted
,
in
time
,
custom
,
and
in
the
minds
of
people
:
And
all
now
restored
and
exalted
by
a
mighty
Providence
,
and
guarded
,
by
the
same
hand
that
restored
them
.
And
therefore
in
reason
;
First
it
is
as
impossible
to
remove
them
,
as
to
extirpate
the
English
Nation
:
Reason
and
experience
confirm
it
:
And
secondly
,
it
is
an
irrational
and
unsafe
thing
to
attempt
it
:
If
it
be
irrational
and
unsafe
to
attempt
it
,
it
is
not
rational
to
think
or
imagine
it
:
Nay
,
it
is
not
honesty
or
truth
of
mind
,
to
fancy
or
think
,
what
is
in
it self
unreasonable
and
impracticable
.
practicable
.
If
now
mens
minds
depart
from
reason
,
into
perswasions
or
conceits
of
things
,
upon
a
divine
account
,
for
which
they
have
no
certain
,
humane
or
spiritual
ground
,
they
will
be
deceived
.
But
this
state
of
the
Government
is
not
represented
only
to
deter
from
attempting
upon
it
;
but
to
gather
your
minds
toward
it
:
The
rest
,
safety
,
and
comfort
of
all
mankind
,
is
in
Law
,
Authority
,
and
Government
:
This
Government
was
of
old
,
and
is
now
restored
in
the
Nation
:
In
it
,
is
your
safety
,
peace
,
and
protection
:
It
is
there
,
and
no
where
else
,
for
you
and
all
others
:
If
you
reasonably
and
justly
challenge
it
,
you
cannot
be
denyed
it
:
If
there
should
be
found
an
evil
spirit
of
revenge
,
that
should
refuse
to
give
it
to
you
,
being
justly
sought
:
That
evil
spirit
,
shall
be
discovered
,
and
manifested
to
be
the
spirit
,
not
of
the
Government
,
nor
Governors
;
but
of
some
dark
,
envious
,
peevish
minds
:
And
it
shall
appear
to
be
,
as
contrary
and
destructive
to
the
Government
and
Governors
,
as
it
is
to
your
safety
:
Therefore
the
reason
why
you
have
not
this
peace
and
safety
,
is
because
you
fly
from
the
Government
,
and
so
from
your
shelter
and
harbour
;
either
ignorant
of
it
;
or
jealous
and
fearful
of
it
.
This
I
think
is
a
reasonable
account
of
one
Party
,
I
would
now
represent
the
other
Party
,
as
justly
and
rationally
as
I
can
:
The
many
sects
that
stand
out
against
the
present
Government
,
at
least
of
the
Church
,
are
,
together
with
the
Presbyterians
,
who
are
engaged
in
an
opposition
,
a
large
people
,
a
great
part
of
the
Nation
:
And
very
considerable
,
both
for
number
,
for
their
activity
and
resolution
;
for
their
courage
in
military
affairs
;
for
their
parts
and
abilities
in
civil
affairs
;
for
their
zeal
and
gifts
in
Religion
:
And
now
being
under
one
and
the
same
dislike
,
disappointment
and
suffering
,
melting
again
into
union
.
As
the
Law
and
Government
of
the
one
side
,
is
so
rooted
in
the
earth
,
that
it
is
not
to
be
removed
,
by
any
humane
means
;
so
these
several
sects
are
deeply
rooted
in
the
judgement
and
conscience
;
and
all
of
them
are
founded
in
some
spirit
,
that
hath
authority
from
God
,
over
the
conscience
;
be
that
spirit
or
authority
true
or
false
,
I
dispute
not
now
:
But
they
are
,
by
some
authority
,
under
the
name
of
God
,
fixed
and
bound
in
their
several
wayes
:
And
therefore
not
possibly
to
be
removed
by
any
secular
or
worldly
power
.
It
is
as
irrational
and
impolitick
,
for
a
State
,
to
seek
by
power
,
to
suppress
,
or
wholly
to
extirpate
such
a
people
(
fixed
unto
death
,
in
their
judgements
)
as
it
is
for
those
people
to
seek
the
overthrow
of
government
;
Not
only
because
it
is
against
policy
,
interest
or
reason
of
State
,
to
discommon
and
cast
out
of
protection
,
or
otherwise
to
provoke
into
despair
,
so
great
and
mighty
a
people
:
But
it
is
also
against
the
very
nature
of
man
,
and
more
against
the
nature
and
being
of
Government
and
Governors
,
to
seek
the
ruine
of
so
great
a
part
of
the
body
:
and
therefore
it
cannot
be
imagined
to
be
in
the
Magistrate
:
Neither
can
the
Magistrate
entertain
such
a
thought
,
without
committing
a
greater
absurdity
,
then
for
the
common
people
to
attempt
the
overthrow
of
the
Kingdom
:
For
the
undertaking
of
impossible
things
,
and
things
destructive
to
humane
and
civil
peace
,
are
much
worse
in
publick
persons
,
then
in
the
people
.
But
as
on
the
other
side
,
I
represented
the
state
of
the
Government
as
immoveable
,
not
only
to
deter
from
attempts
against
it
,
but
to
draw
the
people
to
it
;
that
they
might
be
protected
by
it
:
So
do
I
represent
these
dissatisfied
and
divided
people
,
strong
and
immoveable
,
not
only
to
disswade
from
designs
against
them
,
but
also
to
encline
the
Magistrate
to
them
:
For
as
safety
and
protection
is
by
the
Providence
of
God
ordained
in
the
hands
of
Governors
and
Government
:
so
the
same
mighty
Providence
,
hath
disposed
the
peace
,
rest
,
security
,
and
strength
of
the
Nation
and
Government
,
in
the
minds
,
affections
and
spirits
of
such
a
people
:
It
will
be
easily
seen
and
understood
,
if
it
be
but
considered
;
That
there
is
this
day
,
no
rational
or
visible
cause
or
danger
of
disturbance
,
to
the
Nation
,
but
our
own
divisions
;
neither
from
our selves
,
nor
from
abroad
:
For
as
none
can
hurt
us
but
our selves
,
so
nothing
amongst
our selves
can
hurt
us
,
but
our
own
divisions
.
And
therefore
,
as
the
safety
and
protection
of
the
subject
,
is
in
the
Law
,
Government
and
Magistrate
;
so
the
rest
,
pea●●
and
security
,
of
the
Government
and
Nation
,
is
to
be
had
,
from
a
union
,
of
such
a
people
,
so
divided
and
disaffected
as
now
they
are
.
It
is
clear
then
,
that
each
of
these
Parties
,
as
they
are
now
disposed
,
are
able
to
confer
upon
each
other
,
and
upon
the
whole
,
the
most
excellent
blessings
;
On
the
one
side
,
protection
,
safety
,
and
subsistence
;
on
the
other
side
,
security
,
rest
and
settlement
.
Let
us
now
consider
,
Whether
both
these
Parties
are
willing
to
give
,
and
to
receive
these
things
from
each
other
:
For
if
both
be
willing
,
both
to
give
and
receive
;
then
there
is
a
foundation
laid
in
them
of
peace
.
In
reason
,
both
Parties
must
be
willing
to
have
these
great
blessings
,
because
neither
can
subsist
without
them
,
or
not
comfortably
.
It
is
manifest
his
Majesty
seeks
security
and
peace
,
both
by
the
imposing
the
Oaths
,
which
is
but
to
oblige
the
people
to
quietness
and
obedience
:
And
by
restraining
and
imprisoning
,
those
that
may
be
suspected
,
to
make
disturbance
:
It
is
as
manifest
likewise
,
that
he
is
willing
to
give
safety
,
protection
,
and
liberty
to
these
people
;
witness
his
gracious
Declaration
:
But
beyond
all
these
,
the
reason
of
State
,
and
nature
of
Government
,
binds
his
Majesty
,
to
be
willing
,
both
to
give
safety
,
and
receive
security
.
The
question
then
is
on
the
other
side
,
Whether
they
are
willing
to
give
security
,
and
receive
protection
:
I
think
,
it
is
not
to
be
questioned
,
but
that
they
will
be
glad
of
protection
:
And
they
cannot
expect
protection
,
where
they
will
not
give
reasonable
security
for
their
Allegiance
:
As
reason
,
nature
and
religion
lead
them
to
do
it
,
so
there
doth
appear
,
in
most
of
them
,
a
readiness
to
do
it
,
if
they
knew
how
to
do
it
.
Both
Parties
being
willing
to
receive
,
and
give
these
blessings
,
of
safety
and
security
to
each
other
:
It
is
then
to
be
enquired
,
Whether
there
be
any
thing
,
in
either
Party
,
that
may
let
or
hinder
them
,
from
these
mutual
benefits
?
Two
things
may
be
suspected
.
First
,
That
there
may
be
some
opinion
or
doctrine
in
Religion
,
that
may
imbondage
mens
minds
,
and
keep
them
from
yielding
or
receiving
this
good
:
I
do
hope
and
believe
,
that
there
is
no
opinion
amongst
us
,
so
inhumane
and
absurd
,
as
to
debar
us
,
from
the
exercise
and
practise
of
natural
and
civil
duties
:
If
any
such
be
whispered
,
or
privately
suggested
,
there
is
enough
in
every
mans
own
reason
,
religion
and
nature
,
to
teach
him
to
abhor
it
:
But
if
it
should
be
,
in
mens
private
fancies
,
I
am
sure
if
it
come
forth
in
any
debate
,
it
will
quickly
be
answered
and
rejected
:
An
open
treaty
or
conference
will
expell
it
.
Another
thing
that
may
hinder
,
is
jealousie
,
prejudice
,
and
enmity
begotten
by
these
wars
,
by
the
different
forms
of
worship
,
and
the
opposite
tempers
of
their
minds
and
spirits
:
But
these
are
all
,
a
mist
or
dust
,
which
only
darken
at
a
distance
:
As
soon
as
the
Parties
come
near
one
another
,
their
own
natures
and
reasons
,
together
with
the
necessity
and
benefit
of
safety
and
peace
,
will
dissipate
these
clouds
:
Being
weak
,
dark
passions
,
they
will
vanish
before
the
strength
of
more
solid
and
substantial
things
.
The
lets
being
removed
,
there
is
no
doubt
of
the
sufficiency
of
reason
,
to
instruct
both
Parties
in
a
way
,
how
to
communicate
one
with
another
,
so
that
they
shall
be
understood
,
received
and
believed
by
each
other
:
For
if
both
Parties
are
heartily
willing
,
to
do
that
for
each
other
,
which
is
proposed
,
they
are
able
to
say
,
how
,
why
,
and
upon
what
conditions
,
they
think
reason
to
do
it
:
And
this
being
reasonably
propounded
,
reason
also
will
accept
it
:
For
God
never
yet
left
man
,
so
void
of
understanding
,
and
knowledge
one
of
another
,
nor
so
void
of
confidence
,
and
trust
in
one
another
,
but
they
had
power
both
to
consent
and
agree
,
and
to
gain
belief
and
confidence
one
in
another
:
Though
the
envious
man
,
hath
filled
the
Nation
with
great
enmity
and
division
,
yet
sure
we
are
men
still
;
he
hath
not
rob'd
us
of
our
nature
;
there
is
still
with
us
,
that
reason
,
prudence
,
and
faith
,
that
is
common
with
the
most
heathenish
or
barbarous
Nations
in
the
earth
.
It
may
be
thought
rather
,
there
is
too
much
subtilty
and
policy
,
and
that
this
may
hinder
an
accord
:
There
is
more
danger
of
it
:
But
surely
,
if
there
be
much
Serpentine
cunning
,
there
is
more
true
wisdom
;
for
the
good
,
is
stronger
then
the
evil
,
and
will
prevail
:
I
am
sure
there
is
more
light
and
stronger
reason
in
love
,
then
in
hatred
.
Thus
far
we
are
gone
;
Two
opposite
Parties
in
the
Nation
,
both
so
firmly
rooted
in
the
earth
and
in
heaven
;
that
it
is
an
unreasonable
thing
to
think
,
that
one
should
remove
the
other
by
force
,
without
destroying
the
whole
,
and
themselves
also
:
And
these
so
considerable
,
that
they
may
confer
upon
each
other
,
the
greatest
blessings
that
belong
to
humane
society
:
Both
want
,
what
each
other
have
to
give
;
neither
can
rationally
have
it
elsewhere
:
Both
willing
to
communicate
,
and
able
to
communicate
;
The
question
now
is
,
how
we
shall
begin
,
and
how
mannage
this
Treaty
,
so
as
to
effect
and
perfect
this
disposition
.
I
have
hinted
in
the
Inquisition
,
that
the
divided
Parties
of
this
Nation
are
distinct
bodies
;
The
Presbyterian
,
Independant
,
Anabaptist
,
&c.
these
are
formed
by
distinct
Laws
and
Doctrines
:
And
have
some
principal
men
,
that
are
their
heads
and
leaders
;
these
do
comprehend
their
several
Parties
:
(
It
was
ill
taken
,
that
I
should
mention
them
in
my
former
:
Alas
,
that
divine
justice
,
which
my
soul
would
have
prevented
,
hath
it self
now
hunted
them
,
and
they
are
earthed
now
in
holes
)
It
is
necessary
that
these
should
stand
forth
for
themselves
and
Party
,
to
treat
for
them
,
and
to
bring
forth
the
principles
and
state
of
the
Party
for
them
:
Consider
now
the
equity
and
reason
of
this
offer
.
First
,
You
that
are
the
heads
of
the
people
,
have
led
them
into
war
,
and
consequently
into
these
miseries
,
in
which
now
they
lie
:
And
by
your
evil
conduct
,
they
and
the
business
have
miscarried
:
And
therefore
in
reason
and
conscience
,
you
ought
to
appear
for
them
:
If
there
be
any
thing
of
courage
,
justice
,
or
love
to
the
people
,
or
any
thing
of
a
publick
spirit
in
you
;
you
are
bound
to
do
the
utmost
you
can
,
to
deliver
the
poor
sheep
out
of
these
brambles
,
into
which
you
have
led
them
.
Secondly
,
such
is
the
state
of
things
,
that
if
there
be
any
disturbance
made
in
the
Nation
,
though
you
are
not
in
it
,
yet
you
will
be
ever
liable
to
be
suspected
and
imprisoned
:
Till
you
have
done
something
towards
peace
,
and
securing
the
Government
,
answerable
to
what
you
have
formerly
done
against
it
.
Thirdly
,
His
Majesty
cannot
have
any
rational
security
,
either
from
particular
persons
,
or
from
broken
pieces
or
Parties
;
but
from
the
whole
Party
united
;
and
that
cannot
be
rationally
done
,
but
by
them
that
are
the
heads
of
those
Parties
,
who
do
probably
contain
the
whole
Party
in
them
.
Fourthly
,
The
people
are
certainly
willing
,
both
to
receive
protection
,
and
to
acquiesce
in
the
present
Providence
of
God
:
And
therefore
there
wants
nothing
,
but
some
prudent
and
publick
persons
to
form
them
,
and
lead
them
into
it
:
And
if
there
be
compassion
in
you
to
them
,
as
I
believe
there
is
,
that
will
put
you
upon
this
honourable
and
Christian
work
.
We
are
now
come
,
I
think
,
by
the
conduct
of
honest
and
sound
reason
,
to
the
thing
to
be
practised
,
which
I
hope
is
safe
and
just
,
and
every
way
rational
and
Christian
;
It
is
but
this
.
If
any
two
or
three
eminent
and
known
men
,
of
any
Party
,
either
from
conviction
of
what
is
here
written
,
or
from
their
own
dispositions
;
and
from
a
knowledge
of
the
minds
of
their
Party
,
or
a
probability
of
their
consent
;
shall
be
willing
,
in
order
to
their
own
safety
,
and
the
peace
of
the
Nation
,
to
satisfie
his
Majesty
concerning
their
intentions
to
live
peaceably
under
his
Majesties
Government
;
They
may
in
a
Petition
humbly
represent
it
to
his
Majesty
,
and
may
beg
,
that
his
Majesty
would
be
pleased
to
appoint
certain
Commissioners
,
and
impower
them
,
to
treat
with
them
,
and
with
all
others
that
shall
desire
it
,
concerning
these
two
things
:
First
,
Upon
a
full
consideration
,
of
what
hath
passed
in
the
Nation
,
what
satisfaction
or
security
his
Majesty
may
rationally
demand
,
and
they
as
rationally
give
,
for
their
Allegiance
,
and
peaceable
subjection
,
unto
his
Majesty
and
Government
:
and
,
Secondly
,
Upon
satisfaction
and
security
given
,
how
that
liberty
of
conscience
graciously
declared
by
his
Majesty
,
may
be
stated
and
confirmed
to
them
;
that
so
they
may
enjoy
the
benefit
and
comfort
of
it
free
from
disturbance
,
from
the
people
,
or
inferiour
Officers
.
Both
these
are
honest
,
reasonable
,
and
profitable
things
,
and
no
man
of
truth
or
integrity
can
be
ashamed
,
or
afraid
to
appear
in
them
publickly
:
They
carry
their
justification
in
their
face
.
A
Treaty
betwixt
opposite
parties
,
after
a
long
and
great
division
and
war
is
ordinary
:
And
if
the
difference
be
not
only
in
affection
,
but
judgement
and
opinion
,
it
is
necessary
:
because
otherwise
,
they
cannot
come
to
an
understanding
of
one
another
,
and
consequently
never
come
to
a
hearty
agreement
.
It
is
also
probable
,
that
the
desired
end
,
peace
and
safety
to
both
parties
,
will
be
attained
by
it
:
For
it
is
apparent
,
that
his
Majesty
wants
and
seeks
security
,
and
rest
in
his
Government
,
after
his
long
troubles
,
an
sufferings
:
And
after
so
great
wars
made
against
him
,
and
so
great
violence
done
to
him
,
he
may
justly
require
good
security
for
the
future
:
Nothing
yet
hath
been
done
towards
it
,
by
the
party
that
acted
with
vigor
against
him
:
But
on
the
contrary
,
have
manifested
great
displeasure
and
dissatisfation
at
his
return
to
his
Government
.
As
his
Majesty
cannot
but
seek
security
,
so
the
ordinary
old
established
way
of
Oaths
,
enjoyned
by
Law
,
and
the
penalties
annexed
,
seem
to
be
very
insufficient
remedies
:
For
they
have
been
found
by
sad
experience
,
too
weak
to
bind
men
to
their
allegiance
:
Oaths
,
though
they
are
sacred
in
themselves
,
yet
we
have
found
them
very
invalid
in
this
Age
,
and
strangely
violated
on
all
sides
:
If
they
are
not
ligaments
sufficiently
strong
,
to
bind
the
parts
together
,
and
prevent
a
fraction
;
when
the
fraction
is
made
,
they
are
less
able
to
heal
it
:
Besides
at
this
time
they
are
offensive
to
many
,
that
are
otherwise
willing
to
give
full
security
and
satisfaction
for
their
subjection
.
Neither
can
it
be
thought
,
that
a
bare
verbal
declaration
for
Magistracy
,
though
it
be
honest
,
and
so
accepted
;
that
it
alone
,
should
be
sufficient
to
give
full
case
to
his
Majesties
mind
:
Such
confessions
,
I
doubt
are
too
weak
to
heal
wounds
made
by
long
wars
and
disaffections
:
To
profess
for
Magistracy
,
is
not
a
sufficient
satisfaction
or
reparation
,
for
a
war
against
a
Magistrate
,
because
he
is
an
enemy
,
or
of
another
way
of
worship
:
For
the
question
is
not
,
nor
never
was
,
Whether
a
Magistrate
or
no
:
But
there
is
an
enmity
begotten
,
and
propagated
by
long
war
,
which
requires
more
then
a
verbal
profession
to
heal
it
.
That
his
Majesty
needs
,
and
may
justly
require
security
,
cannot
be
denied
:
That
no
means
sufficient
,
is
yet
used
,
is
manifest
:
that
the
people
are
willing
to
do
it
,
hath
been
proved
;
and
that
it
is
possible
to
do
,
in
this
case
,
what
men
are
ready
to
do
,
is
not
to
be
questioned
:
That
this
means
propounded
,
by
a
Treaty
is
probable
:
It
will
appear
,
if
we
consider
,
the
advantage
of
a
Treaty
,
both
as
to
right
understanding
,
removing
objections
,
and
communicating
affections
,
whereby
ordinarily
enmity
is
expelled
,
good
will
,
union
and
agreement
of
hearts
and
minds
is
obtained
;
but
besides
these
generals
,
this
main
thing
is
to
be
considered
.
That
in
such
a
Treaty
,
it
will
not
be
hard
to
bring
forth
the
roots
,
seeds
,
and
principles
of
all
the
war
and
contention
that
hath
been
;
and
consequently
of
future
rebellion
,
in
the
Nation
;
and
to
offer
them
up
to
his
Majesty
.
The
reason
,
why
it
will
not
be
hard
to
do
this
,
is
because
:
First
,
The
judgement
decreed
upon
the
Church
and
Nation
,
is
executed
,
the
ministry
of
wrath
and
war
is
ceased
:
2ly
The
state
and
spirit
,
in
which
,
and
by
which
it
was
administred
,
is
corrupted
,
and
by
spiritual
men
,
loathed
and
abhorred
:
3ly
And
consequently
,
the
enmity
,
at
the
root
of
it
,
is
slain
,
though
it
still
disturbs
;
yet
in
the
hearts
and
judgements
of
sober
men
,
it
hath
received
a
deep
and
irrecoverable
wound
:
Therefore
it
is
very
possible
and
easie
,
to
produce
the
cause
and
reason
of
the
late
war
,
with
the
righteousness
and
unrighteousness
of
both
sides
?
And
with
it
,
all
the
seeds
and
principles
of
civil
enmity
,
and
division
,
which
may
possibly
beget
any
disturbance
for
the
future
.
If
these
roots
of
war
,
be
pulled
up
,
and
sacrificed
,
it
will
be
the
best
bone-fire
that
ever
was
made
in
England
:
And
will
give
the
fullest
satisfaction
to
his
Majesty
that
can
be
desired
:
For
by
it
his
Majesty
will
be
secured
of
the
hearts
and
minds
of
his
subjects
.
If
his
Majesty
shall
be
pleased
to
answer
such
a
petition
,
and
to
appoint
certain
moderate
,
and
understanding
persons
,
acceptable
to
these
people
,
and
so
apt
to
entertain
a
Treaty
with
them
;
We
may
in
reason
expect
,
that
such
a
door
of
safety
being
open
,
all
parties
will
be
glad
to
enter
in
at
it
:
And
if
the
chief
of
them
can
gather
up
the
rest
of
the
people
,
into
a
consent
and
agreement
with
them
in
this
work
;
they
will
be
able
to
offer
a
valuable
consideration
,
for
their
safety
and
protection
:
That
may
really
deserve
,
both
liberty
,
and
subsistence
also
out
of
their
purchases
.
If
this
be
carried
on
by
judgement
and
conscience
,
and
from
a
mind
enlightened
and
convinced
:
We
have
no
cause
to
fear
,
that
it
will
not
be
understood
,
received
and
believed
by
his
Majesty
:
For
what
is
done
in
light
,
is
evident
to
all
:
An
Epistle
seen
and
read
of
all
men
:
When
the
mind
is
truly
convinced
,
it
is
easie
for
it
,
to
give
forth
such
a
declaration
of
it
,
as
is
sufficient
to
convince
another
,
that
it
is
convinced
:
And
such
a
declaration
coming
from
reason
and
from
the
heart
;
his
Majesties
heart
cannot
but
feel
it
,
and
rejoyce
in
it
:
It
being
the
only
thing
in
the
earth
,
wanting
,
to
make
his
Government
fully
happy
.
Security
being
given
,
or
ready
to
be
given
,
by
these
people
;
the
second
thing
,
their
liberty
and
safety
comes
naturally
:
Indeed
it
is
already
granted
,
and
declared
by
his
Majesty
,
it
only
wants
to
be
(
by
such
a
Treaty
,
and
some
Articles
)
so
explained
and
confirmed
,
that
the
people
may
receive
the
benefit
of
it
.
If
these
two
things
,
which
are
truly
and
really
conceived
,
in
the
hearts
and
natures
of
both
sides
,
may
be
brought
forth
;
it
will
be
a
blessed
foundation
,
of
great
good
to
the
Nation
and
Church
:
And
a
present
ease
to
the
minds
,
of
his
Majesty
,
and
of
his
people
;
and
will
fill
the
whole
Nation
with
pleasure
and
content
:
For
of
all
things
,
love
and
peace
,
have
the
greatest
felicity
in
them
to
a
people
:
As
discord
betwixt
brethren
or
relations
,
is
most
grievous
,
so
love
that
unites
enemies
is
the
most
pleasant
and
contentful
:
Such
a
meeting
of
hearts
and
minds
in
peace
,
will
bring
forth
some
more
then
ordinary
good
,
to
the
English
Nation
;
which
are
from
their
own
dispositions
,
inclined
to
love
;
and
to
an
encrease
of
it
,
unto
a
kind
of
excess
,
when
once
they
begin
.
It
is
said
,
Isa.
9.5
.
Every
battle
of
the
warriour
is
with
confused
noise
,
and
garments
rolled
in
blood
:
Such
yet
is
the
sta●e
of
the
Nation
,
confused
noise
there
is
,
and
garments
rolled
in
blood
:
which
do
disturb
the
minds
of
men
,
and
makes
them
uncapable
of
the
government
and
peace
of
Christs
Kingdom
:
But
if
by
this
means
propounded
,
a
civil
peace
may
be
obtained
;
it
will
be
a
beginning
and
foundation
,
of
a
more
heavenly
and
spiritual
peace
in
the
Church
:
It
is
true
,
this
seems
to
be
first
necessary
,
but
if
this
were
obtained
,
I
could
demonstrate
the
other
as
rational
and
possible
as
this
,
and
more
:
Because
the
Law
and
reason
of
Religion
is
more
large
,
more
forgiving
,
healing
and
uniting
,
then
Civil
Law
or
Reason
:
A
union
and
peace
in
the
Church
,
is
promised
and
commanded
in
the
Scripture
:
Nothing
is
promised
that
we
may
not
challenge
and
expect
;
nothing
commanded
but
what
is
practicable
.
Something
I
may
affirm
upon
my
particular
experience
:
For
I
have
gone
as
far
in
the
way
of
separation
,
from
the
Church
of
England
,
I
think
,
as
most
men
;
and
prosecuted
it
as
heartily
:
And
yet
my
mind
is
now
,
and
hath
been
long
enlarged
to
own
and
embrace
the
Church
of
England
,
and
Episcopal
government
:
I
did
not
alter
as
a
knave
,
as
a
fool
,
nor
as
an
enemy
,
to
them
that
differ
from
me
:
Not
as
a
knave
,
for
my
mind
altered
,
when
Episcopacy
was
at
lowest
,
and
hath
so
continued
ever
since
,
in
many
troubles
,
without
change
:
Nor
as
a
fool
,
I
confess
I
have
received
it
from
heaven
,
yet
so
as
is
fully
demonstrated
to
me
,
from
reason
and
Scripture
:
Nor
as
enemy
;
For
Episcopacy
,
as
I
understand
it
,
is
a
tree
so
high
and
large
,
that
all
these
birds
,
that
now
she
from
it
,
may
make
their
nests
in
the
branches
of
it
,
and
be
nourished
by
the
fruit
of
it
:
And
that
,
not
by
clipping
the
outward
honour
of
it
;
but
by
enlarging
and
exalting
of
it
,
into
its
own
true
heavenly
light
and
glory
.
This
I
find
and
know
by
experience
;
what
several
sects
,
seek
in
their
private
and
divided
wayes
,
they
shall
never
enjoy
,
but
in
the
Church
;
there
only
they
will
find
rest
for
their
souls
:
But
these
things
shall
rest
till
their
season
be
to
come
forth
.
The
thing
that
is
here
propounded
to
you
,
that
are
my
Brethren
,
and
now
in
suffering
;
is
so
essentially
necessary
,
in
my
judgement
,
for
your
safety
,
and
the
peace
of
the
Nation
;
that
if
I
knew
any
thing
that
might
hinder
you
,
from
accepting
and
prosecuting
it
,
as
the
means
of
your
deliverance
,
I
would
remove
it
:
There
are
but
two
things
that
I
suspect
.
The
first
thing
I
doubt
,
is
lest
your
high
apprehensions
of
some
extraordinary
matters
promised
in
the
Scriptures
,
and
drunk
into
your
thoughts
,
should
cause
you
to
adhere
to
your
former
opposition
,
and
so
divert
you
from
the
plain
path
of
peace
and
safety
:
To
answer
you
in
this
;
Know
1.
The
things
that
you
expect
,
both
are
,
and
will
be
manifested
;
and
far
more
,
and
greater
then
you
imagine
.
2.
But
never
to
be
obtained
by
enmity
and
wrath
,
but
by
love
,
peace
,
and
by
the
good
Spirit
of
Christ
.
3.
It
is
a
false
Prophet
that
holds
forth
greater
and
future
things
,
to
restrain
from
an
exercise
,
of
present
and
plain
duties
.
4.
I
desire
you
to
consider
and
remember
,
that
though
these
high
strains
have
got
up
into
your
prayers
,
and
private
discourses
,
yet
they
never
were
of
any
power
,
in
your
great
business
:
You
will
find
,
that
the
strength
of
your
cause
,
as
it
was
urged
by
the
Parliament
,
against
the
King
;
and
the
Army
,
against
the
Parliament
;
lay
in
these
low
and
common
things
,
of
safety
,
necessity
,
and
the
interest
of
the
honest
Party
;
and
at
the
highest
,
providence
and
success
:
Consider
now
,
Whether
the
same
principles
,
do
not
now
urge
you
to
peace
,
that
carried
you
to
war
?
and
more
strongly
and
justly
?
For
safety
and
necessity
,
it
is
both
seen
and
felt
;
that
if
you
persist
in
an
opposition
,
to
the
present
Government
,
you
will
ruine
your selves
and
families
;
except
a
miracle
appear
for
you
:
You
have
no
true
ground
nor
faith
for
miracles
,
if
you
have
any
,
you
may
sooner
expect
them
in
a
Gospel
way
,
of
peace
,
reconciliation
and
perswasion
,
then
of
war.
And
for
Providence
,
it
now
directs
you
to
agree
with
his
Majesty
:
For
the
great
Providence
of
his
restoration
,
hath
eaten
up
,
all
your
lesser
Providences
;
as
Aarons
rod
,
eat
up
the
Egyptian
Magicians
rod
:
And
all
your
success
,
is
now
in
the
belly
of
this
:
If
then
,
safety
,
necessity
,
interest
and
providence
,
could
then
lead
you
to
make
war
;
and
the
same
things
cannot
now
prevail
with
you
,
to
seek
peace
;
it
will
seem
a
dangerous
and
foul
spirit
:
To
delight
in
war
,
that
is
bloody
and
spoyling
,
unclean
and
filthy
,
and
to
decline
the
humble
and
meek
way
,
of
reason
and
treaty
,
is
not
Christian
.
The
second
thing
I
doubt
,
is
your
confidence
in
the
multitude
,
and
earnestness
of
your
prayers
:
And
to
that
,
I
propound
the
words
of
our
Lord
,
which
are
of
eternal
authority
,
Mat.
5.23
,
24.
If
thou
bring
thy
gift
to
the
Altar
,
and
there
rememberest
,
that
thy
Brother
hath
ought
against
thee
;
Leave
there
thy
gift
,
before
the
Altar
,
and
go
thy
way
;
first
be
reconciled
to
thy
brother
,
and
then
come
and
offer
thy
gift
:
The
divine
reason
of
it
is
this
;
God
is
the
Lord
and
Father
of
all
men
,
they
are
all
his
family
;
if
any
one
of
his
children
or
servants
,
injure
another
,
and
the
injured
person
cry
to
him
,
this
cry
comes
up
to
him
,
and
is
there
put
in
,
as
a
bar
or
plea
,
against
that
mans
prayers
,
till
he
make
satisfaction
:
For
God
is
just
,
and
doth
right
to
all
men
.
Now
you
know
,
there
is
a
cry
gone
up
against
you
,
for
the
oppression
of
the
Nation
:
All
Parties
,
as
well
as
your
adversaries
,
have
something
,
yea
much
against
you
:
And
therefore
,
mark
what
I
say
,
I
speak
it
as
a
Priest
unto
God
,
that
do
minister
in
his
presence
;
and
as
a
Minister
of
the
Word
of
Jesus
;
till
you
can
do
these
two
things
;
First
,
forgive
your
enemies
,
as
heartily
and
truly
,
as
you
desire
God
to
forgive
you
.
And
secondly
,
ask
forgiveness
of
them
,
wherein
they
have
ought
against
you
.
Till
these
two
things
be
done
,
I
put
in
a
bar
against
all
your
prayers
;
were
they
ten
thousand
times
more
then
they
are
,
they
shall
not
prevail
.
Read
but
what
follows
,
ver.
25
,
26.
Agree
with
thine
adversary
quickly
,
while
thou
art
in
the
way
:
Lest
at
any
time
the
adversary
deliver
thee
to
the
judge
,
and
the
judge
deliver
thee
to
the
officer
,
and
thou
be
cast
in
prison
:
Verily
I
say
unto
thee
,
thou
shalt
by
no
means
come
out
thence
,
till
thou
hast
paid
the
uttermost
farthing
:
Your
adversary
is
your
judge
;
the
more
reason
to
agree
with
him
:
You
must
either
agree
,
&
compound
,
or
stand
it
out
:
If
you
stand
out
,
you
must
pay
for
all
those
years
of
trouble
and
vexation
,
that
you
inflicted
upon
your
enemies
;
for
all
the
poverty
,
ruine
and
destruction
,
you
laid
upon
them
and
their
families
;
If
you
stand
upon
your
righteousness
,
all
must
be
paid
to
the
utmost
farthing
:
It
is
a
great
debt
.
Except
by
forgiving
,
and
seeking
forgiveness
you
agree
;
troubles
and
disturbance
,
will
offend
the
Nation
;
and
then
jealousies
,
bonds
and
imprisonments
will
attend
you
:
Till
satisfaction
be
made
for
former
injuries
,
to
the
last
farthing
.
If
you
desire
peace
and
safety
,
read
this
last
Section
diligently
,
till
you
have
made
it
your
own
:
If
you
desire
either
further
satisfaction
,
or
my
assistance
,
I
am
ready
to
serve
you
.
Reader
,
I
Promised
thee
,
in
the
beginning
of
this
Treatise
,
a
discovery
of
my
life
and
state
;
Thou
hast
some
parts
of
it
,
scattered
here
and
there
:
But
the
whole
I
must
reserve
to
some
further
opportunity
:
Because
this
hath
swelled
into
a
greater
bigness
,
then
I
did
at
first
intend
it
:
And
the
matter
of
it
is
such
,
that
I
judge
it
necessary
to
be
first
published
.
