CHAP.

What
Truth
is
,
and
what
it
is
not
;
who
knows
it
and
lives
in
it
;
that
it
is
always
persecuted
,
and
by
whom
;
that
it
most
appears
,
when
it
is
most
opposed
;
and
how
.
GOd
that
made
the
world
,
and
all
things
therein
,
whose
goodness
fills
heaven
and
earth
,
is
holy
,
For
they
profess
that
they
know
God
,
but
in
works
they
deny
him
,
being
abominable
and
disobedient
,
and
unto
every
good
work
a
reprobate
(
as
the
Scripture
saith
)
for
all
men
knowing
,
owning
and
living
in
any
thing
below
God
,
do
so
long
know
,
own
and
live
in
a
lye
,
and
so
are
themselves
a
lye
to
themselves
,
hating
,
abominating
and
opposing
the
truth
which
they
know
not
;
and
no
lye
can
know
the
truth
,
but
the
truth
knows
a
lye
;
there
is
none
good
but
one
,
that
is
God
:
Therefore
is
God
in
Christ
said
to
see
,
know
,
understand
and
judge
all
things
in
truth
and
righteousness
,
as
being
all
in
all
things
to
himself
,
Therefore
to
understand
the
truth
,
we
must
understand
and
know
God
,
that
he
onely
is
that
which
is
to
remain
,
and
so
to
understand
the
truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
God
in
Christ
manifest
in
flesh
,
the
Original
Centre
of
all
things
,
that
which
makes
,
forms
,
Therefore
is
the
truth
as
being
the
same
still
in
God
,
one
unchangeable
,
immortal
,
incomprehensible
,
unlimited
,
And
this
is
God
,
who
when
he
will
,
can
and
doth
both
break
in
pieces
and
set
together
again
,
empty
and
fill
again
,
wound
and
heal
again
,
Therefore
what
are
the
best
of
Images
to
the
thing
imaged
,
but
vanity
and
a
lye
,
being
as
it
is
changeable
?
All
is
vanity
and
vexation
of
spirit
:
For
the
fashion
of
this
world
passeth
away
and
whatsoever
passes
away
,
must
in
that
state
of
mortality
be
a
lye
,
in
opposition
to
that
which
is
immortal
and
true
,
because
it
abides
not
always
the
same
,
but
is
changeable
.
And
as
a
thing
made
cannot
know
that
which
made
it
;
so
a
lye
cannot
know
the
truth
,
nor
speak
the
truth
,
but
as
it
is
in
the
truth
,
no
longer
known
to
be
a
lye
,
but
the
truth
it self
:
(
Christ
)
that
spoke
before
in
them
that
writ
it
,
and
witnessed
to
the
word
by
that
which
is
written
;
For
what
we
have
seen
and
heard
,
we
declare
unto
you
(
saith
Paul
)
and
all
things
in
the
world
visible
is
but
an
Image
of
God
,
Adam
was
first
formed
,
then
Eve
;
So
in
like
manner
all
mankind
,
with
the
whole
creation
,
as
coming
out
of
God
,
is
but
an
Image
of
God
,
as
the
Son
is
of
the
Father
,
and
as
the
woman
is
of
the
man
,
and
lives
not
but
in
God
the
Father
,
that
sends
them
forth
from
himself
as
an
Image
of
himself
,
and
as
it
abides
in
the
Image
,
the
man
is
not
without
the
woman
,
nor
the
woman
without
the
man
,
in
the
Lord
:
So
not
God
without
us
,
nor
we
without
him
in
the
truth
,
which
truth
comprehends
Father
,
Son
and
Spirit
,
will
wisdom
and
power
,
variety
in
unity
,
and
unity
in
variety
,
the
Creator
and
the
creature
;
and
so
God
himself
,
who
is
the
truth
in
Jesus
,
who
is
one
and
all
,
is
himself
the
way
in
which
all
men
should
walk
,
the
truth
which
all
men
should
practice
,
O
how
few
are
there
that
live
this
life
of
God
in
Christ
,
to
be
reconciled
to
all
men
,
though
enemies
;
love
all
men
,
though
enemies
;
be
at
peace
with
all
men
,
though
enemies
;
and
to
do
for
all
men
as
they
would
do
for
themselves
,
and
as
they
would
others
should
do
unto
them
:
why
very
few
yet
live
in
the
truth
to
practise
it
,
though
most
men
profess
it
?
Therefore
all
men
who
live
not
in
the
truth
are
lyars
,
and
live
in
the
filthy
abomination
of
the
lye
,
as
in
sin
,
death
,
hell
,
and
damnation
,
wrath
,
envy
,
hatred
,
malice
,
persecution
,
revenge
,
and
all
the
works
of
iniquity
,
and
must
be
taken
up
into
the
truth
,
and
so
cast
into
the
lake
of
fire
burning
with
brimstone
,
there
to
be
purged
from
all
their
uncleanness
and
filthy
abomination
,
All
things
while
it
abides
in
the
Image
,
being
there
in
a
prison
,
and
in
darkness
,
is
an
enemy
to
the
thing
imaged
,
because
it
represents
it
not
perfectly
,
or
as
it
is
in
Jesus
:
the
thing
made
is
an
enemy
to
that
which
makes
it
,
the
creature
to
the
Creator
,
Those
that
betrayed
and
murther'd
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
If
I
be
lifted
up
,
I
will
draw
all
men
unto
me
.
not
onely
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
but
Publicans
and
sinners
,
when
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
thought
it
had
belong'd
onely
to
themselves
,
as
righteous
men
,
and
not
unto
sinners
;
Fa●ther
,
forgive
them
,
they
know
not
what
they
do
;
and
the
more
they
sought
to
betray
him
,
the
more
did
the
people
follow
him
,
and
grew
in
love
with
him
:
and
men
can
never
do
any
thing
more
to
the
loss
of
their
own
honour
,
Religion
and
self-interests
,
and
more
to
advance
the
truth
in
the
life
and
power
of
it
,
then
to
oppose
it
,
and
persecute
it
●
for
then
do
men
●he
more
enquire
after
it
,
and
truth
will
have
its
perfect
work
,
and
find
out
a
way
to
advance
it self
in
the
greatest
persecution
,
though
men
never
so
much
oppose
it
.
Therefore
when
men
go
to
stop
the
current
of
truth
,
and
the
mouthes
of
those
that
declare
it
,
by
an
outward
Law
,
they
do
but
as
those
that
go
to
make
a
dam
to
stop
the
current
of
a
continual
running
stream
,
which
will
suddenly
make
its
way
through
it
,
and
carry
all
before
it
:
Or
,
as
those
who
go
to
throw
oyl
and
brimstone
to
quench
fire
that
is
burning
,
which
the
more
they
do
,
the
more
it
will
flame
and
burn
to
the
destruction
of
that
which
is
thrown
into
it
to
quench
it
:
So
is
it
with
truth
,
when
it
arises
in
life
and
power
to
manifest
it self
,
Therefore
,
O
man
,
thou
that
wouldst
not
have
the
truth
to
spread
,
which
thou
knowest
not
,
cease
any
longer
to
oppose
it
,
if
thou
canst
forbear
,
for
through
much
opposition
is
the
truth
made
manifest
,
and
God
would
not
be
said
to
be
a
conqueror
,
if
there
were
not
something
of
a
lye
in
opposition
to
the
truth
to
be
conquered
;
for
were
there
no
opposition
known
in
men
to
oppose
God
,
there
would
be
in
men
no
need
of
the
knowledge
of
the
coming
of
God
in
Christ
to
men
,
to
oppose
against
that
:
for
his
coming
to
manifest
himself
,
is
to
reconcile
his
enemies
to
himself
,
and
to
destroy
that
which
is
enmity
in
them
against
him
;
for
,
for
this
purpose
was
the
son
of
God
manifest
,
to
destroy
the
works
of
the
devil
:
and
men
in
looking
upon
God
to
be
at
a
distance
from
them
through
the
temptations
of
Satan
,
do
thereby
oppose
his
presence
with
them
;
for
God
is
nigh
them
,
always
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
;
neither
can
,
till
they
are
enlightned
by
the
light
of
God
in
their
own
consciences
,
to
see
God
with
them
,
restoring
rest
and
peace
to
them
,
and
himself
to
be
in
them
the
way
,
the
truth
,
and
the
life
for
them
;
unto
the
end
of
which
way
,
the
knowledge
of
which
truth
,
and
enjoyment
of
which
life
,
all
men
have
a
race
to
run
and
a
way
to
come
,
before
they
can
sit
down
at
the
end
of
their
journey
,
and
live
in
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus

before

the

of

Conversion
;

manner
of
his
converting
,
and
his
zeal
in
searching
,
trying
and
passing
by
all
the
Ways
,
Worships
and
Opinions
of
men
,
in
their
several
Forms
●f
Religion
;
howmen
appeared
in
it
;
how
it
all
vanished
away
and
ceased
,
as
to
him
;
and
when
.
HEarken
my
beloved
brethren
,
come
behold
,
and
see
the
race
which
you
are
to
run
,
the
way
which
you
are
to
come
,
and
the
price
that
is
to
be
wo●
,
as
I
will
here
shew
unto
you
,
by
setting
before
you
the
race
that
I
have
run
,
For
when
God
created
me
in
my
mothers
womb
,
and
breathed
into
me
the
breath
of
life
,
that
I
became
a
living
soul
,
I
was
in
a
state
of
innocency
,
knowing
neither
good
nor
evil
;
or
as
Adam
in
Paradise
,
And
now
having
lived
for
many
years
in
this
state
of
ignorance
,
under
the
Bishops
and
Prelatical
Government
;
I
then
came
to
the
Presbyterians
,
who
began
to
reign
in
the
others
steads
,
exercising
the
same
authority
over
mens
consciences
as
the
other
did
;
and
who
after
some
short
time
I
found
to
rule
with
as
much
force
and
cruelty
,
and
to
be
as
tyrannical
as
ever
the
others
were
,
and
that
knew
no
more
of
God
then
the
others
did
;
onely
they
would
talk
a
little
more
of
Christ
and
Religion
,
using
the
outward
expressions
as
a
cloak
to
cover
their
nakedness
,
and
to
seduce
the
people
to
them
:
but
for
any
true
knowledge
of
Christ
and
Religion
,
they
had
none
,
neither
any
did
they
practise
;
yet
here
was
God
likewise
,
but
still
in
a
cloud
,
under
darkness
,
that
I
passed
by
them
also
,
and
pressed
forwards
.
And
I
being
yet
willing
to
try
all
things
;
and
I
hearing
of
the
Independants
and
Anabaptists
starting
up
,
as
those
that
would
reign
in
the
room
of
the
Presbyterians
,
I
would
try
them
also
;
and
found
them
to
be
cloathed
with
a
more
finer
habit
then
either
Prelate
or
Presbyterian
;
for
they
had
gained
some
finer
outside
forms
of
Religion
,
In
which
two
years
time
before
mentioned
,
of
walking
among
the
Churches
in
London
,
of
Presbyterians
,
Independents
and
Anabaptists
&c.
I
applyed
my self
much
to
reading
their
books
,
searching
and
trying
the
Scriptures
,
whether
these
things
they
held
were
so
or
no
,
and
to
be
so
practised
by
them
as
they
were
,
and
contended
for
,
which
I
found
them
not
to
be
:
Also
in
observing
duties
of
prayer
was
I
very
frequent
morning
and
evening
,
and
as
often
as
I
had
opportunity
:
and
in
hearing
or
writing
of
Sermons
four
or
five
in
a
day
,
from
several
men
,
which
I
spent
much
of
my
time
after
in
reading
.
Thus
was
I
in
that
time
,
while
I
was
trying
their
ways
,
as
zealous
as
they
could
be
in
it
,
even
hating
,
loathing
and
despising
all
my
own
,
and
other
mens
former
ways
,
delights
,
pleasures
and
sports
,
and
all
delightful
exercises
:
which
I
was
not
so
much
for
before
,
but
then
I
was
as
much
against
,
counting
them
all
to
be
but
works
of
darkness
,
while
they
were
so
acted
;
yet
was
my self
still
(
though
under
this
dispensation
of
Grace
)
as
blind
and
as
ignorant
as
ever
I
was
under
that
of
nature
,
though
I
thought
I
saw
and
had
knowledge
:
but
I
found
since
,
that
all
the
light
and
knowledge
that
I
then
thought
I
had
of
God
,
Christ
,
and
the
Devil
,
of
Heaven
and
Hell
,
Salvation
and
Damnation
,
with
all
things
else
thereto
belonging
in
that
state
of
ignorance
,
was
as
carnal
as
ever
;
and
I
knew
no
more
of
it
then
I
did
when
I
was
under
the
Prelates
Ministry
;
only
that
there
was
a
God
afar
off
and
not
within
me
,
which
I
still
knew
but
by
hear-say
,
as
all
that
were
of
those
opinions
did
;
and
therefore
I
may
be
bold
to
affirm
,
as
also
by
experience
I
have
known
,
that
all
the
knowledge
that
Presbyterians
.
Independents
,
Anabaptists
,
and
all
others
under
any
form
of
Worship
,
now
have
of
those
things
,
while
living
under
the
disp●●sation
of
grace
(
only
)
while
seeking
the
Lord
is
no
more
then
but
by
hear-say
,
which
they
so
long
give
themselves
to
believe
,
and
are
in
bondage
to
,
as
to
mens
traditions
;
and
no
experience
at
all
have
they
of
these
things
,
as
to
know
them
in
truth
,
or
as
it
is
in
Jesus
.
And
this
was
all
the
knowledge
and
experience
that
I
had
,
while
under
that
dispensation
of
grace
,
or
the
Son
of
God
manifesting
(
yet
the
same
that
they
had
)
where
I
then
saw
the
work
but
a
doing
,
not
done
;
salvation
but
a
coming
,
and
not
come
,
and
so
saw
not
any
thing
then
made
perfect
.
Then
after
two
years
were
expired
of
my
beholding
this
their
order
in
London
,
seeing
all
the
ways
and
opinions
of
men
,
with
all
their
feigned
righteousness
,
for
to
be
but
destruction
and
confusion
,
I
prophesied
of
their
downfall
,
which
would
shortly
after
come
to
pass
,
and
which
I
have
since
,
in
part
,
seen
to
be
fulfilled
;
for
I
saw
that
they
were
not
built
upon
the
true
foundation
.
Christ
,
as
the
rock
which
would
stand
,
And
after
this
legal
dispensation
of
the
knowledge
of
Christ
in
the
flesh
,
and
the
performing
duties
after
the
flesh
,
by
me
,
was
ended
with
me
,
If
thou
wilt
be
perfect
,
go
and
sell
all
that
thou
hast
.

unto
them
;
and
according
to
what
I
had
received
of
the
Lord
.
I
was
commanded
by
the
Lord
in
me
,
to
publish
and
declare
to
all
sorts
of
men
,
without
respect
of
persons
or
opinions
,
with
this
Commission
following
:
First
,
that
whatsoever
I
did
speak
or
write
,
it
was
to
be
my
own
experience
in
the
Lord
,
of
God
manifest
in
flesh
,
justified
in
the
spirit
,
seen
of
Angels
,
preached
unto
the
Gentiles
,
And
thus
was
my
Commission
in
&
from
the
School
of
Christ
,
given
by
Christ
at
Sion
house
in
heaven
,
to
do
the
work
of
Christ
as
a
free
workman
,
loving
all
men
,
though
enemies
,
and
hating
none
and
not
from
Oxford
and
Cambridge
,
or
the
Schools
of
Antichrist
,
by
the
laying
on
of
the
hands
of
the
Bishops
or
Presbytery
,
to
do
the
work
of
Antichrist
as
an
hireling
,
loving
those
that
would
pay
me
or
stand
for
me
,
and
hating
those
that
would
not
,
as
most
of
those
have
done
that
had
their
Call
and
Commission
from
thence
:
Neither
was
I
to
confer
with
flesh
and
blood
,
as
to
go
to
Oxford
or
Cambridge
,
this
Committee
or
that
Committee
,
to
receive
Orders
from
men
,
or
to
know
whether
I
should
preach
or
no
,
and
so
to
be
settled
in
some
place
by
them
,
receive
some
yearly
maintenance
from
them
,
as
the
Priests
of
England
do
,
and
have
done
with
all
that
serve
in
Antichrists
Kingdom
,
and
receive
his
wages
but
without
all
this
,
or
any
part
of
it
,
I
was
immediately
to
go
and
publish
him
to
the
world
,
and
to
sinners
,
yea
all
men
,
without
respect
of
persons
,
notwithstanding
all
the
opposition
that
I
might
meet
withal
from
all
sorts
of
Religion
,
and
among
all
sorts
of
men
living
under
any
Dispensation
or
Administration
whatsoever
,
below
this
which
I
my self
lived
in
,
and
was
to
declare
.
And
the
first
day
that
I
began
to
prosecute
this
my
Commission
,
as
it
was
in
me
in
the
life
and
power
of
it
(
which
I
received
not
of
man
,
nor
by
man
,
but
of
and
by
the
Lord
,
and
God
the
Father
,
who
raised
him
from
the
dead
,
out
of
the
grave
,
and
in
me
)
then
was
I
persecuted
,
hated
and
rejected
of
men
that
knew
it
not
,
but
were
enemies
to
it
;
yet
did
no
more
to
me
,
then
what
had
been
done
to
others
that
were
before
me
,
and
will
be
done
to
those
that
come
after
me
;
which
I
also
looked
upon
to
be
part
of
my
portion
which
was
to
follow
and
I
to
go
through
,
and
which
I
was
yet
to
be
possest
withal
while
I
was
in
this
work
of
preaching
:
but
knowing
this
that
still
filling
up
the
rest
of
the
sufferings
of
Christ
,
which
supported
me
,
when
I
had
finished
my
course
,
I
should
receive
my
crown
;
Having
suffered
with
Christ
,
I
should
also
reign
with
him
;
and
so
enduring
to
the
end
,
I
should
be
saved
,
He
that
preaches
the
Gospel
,
shall
live
on
the
Gospel
,
and
not
on
other
mens
labours
,
nor
walk
by
other
mens
lights
,
but
the
light
of
Christ
in
the
Gospel
dispensation
:
And
now
so
far
hitherto
as
I
have
fell
short
in
any
thing
of
this
my
Commission
,
to
the
knowledge
of
any
,
let
me
be
blamed
.
But
to
proceed
,
I
shall
go
on
as
brief
as
I
can
to
shew
you
the
manner
of
my
proceedings
,
and
how
I
have
been
carried
forth
to
this
day
,
as
shall
be
readily
witnessed
by
the
people
of
those
parts
in
which
I
have
been
,
and
thus
proceeded
in
the
practice
thereof
,
as
followeth
.
CHAP.
IV.
The
Authors
first
prosecution
of
his
Commission
,
and
his
being
opposed
for
the
same
;
how
,
by
whom
,
and
after
what
manner
;
who
are
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
of
Antichrist
,
with
their
different
proceedings
,
both
in
judgement
,
doctrine
,
practice
,
manner
,
time
,
place
,
freedom
and
reward
.
FIrst
,
Paul
in
his
time
speaking
of
himself
and
his
own
call
,
said
then
,
That
above
fourteen
years
ago
he
knew
a
man
in
Christ
,
whether
in
the
body
,
or
out
of
the
body
,
he
could
not
tell
,
but
such
an
one
caught
up
into
the
third
heaven
,
or
paradise
,
and
heard
unspeakable
words
,
which
were
not
lawful
for
man
to
utter
:
And
why
unlawful
?
In
respect
of
the
Law
of
God
it
could
not
be
unlawful
;
for
God
reveals
nothing
that
is
contrary
to
himself
,
or
his
own
law
,
neither
doth
he
make
a
law
contrary
to
what
he
reveals
:
but
it
might
be
contrary
to
the
laws
of
men
,
which
they
had
made
,
and
do
still
make
,
and
so
unlawful
;
and
in
this
sense
Paul
might
say
,
it
was
unlawful
for
man
to
utter
,
though
not
unlawful
for
God
to
utter
:
and
for
these
reasons
;
first
,
in
respect
of
the
company
amongst
whom
Paul
was
then
living
,
when
those
words
were
made
known
to
him
,
they
being
not
able
to
bear
them
:
And
secondly
,
it
may
be
that
the
laws
of
the
times
were
such
,
that
if
it
should
have
been
spoken
,
it
would
have
been
counted
blasphemy
,
and
himself
have
been
persecuted
for
it
,
as
it
seems
he
was
for
many
things
that
he
then
spoke
:
And
so
in
all
ages
since
,
whatever
of
God
hath
by
God
been
revealed
to
men
,
contrary
to
the
law
of
the
times
,
hath
been
by
that
law
unlawful
to
utter
,
and
so
by
men
counted
blasphemy
,
and
the
authors
thereof
accused
as
blasphemers
.
Was
it
not
so
with
Christ
,
and
with
Paul
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
?
And
hath
it
not
been
so
since
?
and
is
it
not
so
now
?
I
am
sure
my self
with
many
others
,
can
by
experience
witness
it
,
and
set
our
seals
to
it
,
since
we
knew
it
,
and
were
assured
of
it
.
And
now
from
the
time
that
these
things
were
first
made
known
to
me
,
and
I
commanded
to
declare
it
to
the
world
,
it
was
with
much
opposition
,
and
with
so
little
outward
freedom
,
that
I
was
forced
to
appear
in
the
clouds
,
and
speak
something
darkly
,
and
under
parables
,
I
abiding
at
that
time
in
Barkshire
,
among
a
people
whose
spirits
were
not
able
to
bear
the
sound
of
the
truth
,
they
being
ignorant
of
it
,
and
so
enemies
to
it
;
and
which
the
laws
of
the
times
were
then
against
,
and
most
mens
judgements
and
opinions
contrary
to
it
,
and
men
more
ready
to
persecute
it
,
then
otherways
,
as
they
have
ever
been
.
And
I
having
not
my
freedom
to
speak
,
fell
a
writing
;
which
things
were
printed
,
and
brought
forth
to
publique
view
,
in
a
Book
entituled
,
Divine
Teachings
;
which
many
Ministers
and
Pastors
of
Churches
living
thereabouts
,
did
streightway
oppose
,
being
that
which
was
contrary
to
their
judgements
,
doctrine
and
practise
;
whose
names
are
as
follows
,
Lancaster
,
Powel
,
Harrison
,
Pendarvice
,
Wells
,
Hughes
,
and
Burgess
,
who
were
then
in
Barkshire
;
with
Osburn
,
Woolly
,
Glin
,
and
many
others
in
Oxfordshire
;
who
cryed
down
all
for
heresie
and
blasphemy
therein
contained
,
without
naming
any
particulars
,
saying
it
was
a
dangerous
principle
which
it
all
tended
unto
,
that
if
it
were
suffered
,
it
would
overthrow
all
(
Mens
)
Religion
;
whereupon
several
disputes
were
occasioned
between
me
and
the
said
Ministers
;
they
all
still
endeavouring
to
confute
me
,
or
bring
me
to
a
recantation
of
these
things
revealed
in
me
,
and
declared
by
me
,
which
they
counted
erroneous
and
blasphemous
;
and
of
which
if
I
would
have
recanted
,
preferment
by
some
was
proffered
me
;
but
there
was
one
within
me
which
resisted
,
and
said
,
Get
thee
behind
me
Satan
,
I
will
none
of
it
:
neither
is
it
Herod
with
all
the
chief
of
the
Priests
and
Scribes
of
the
people
,
that
he
had
gathered
together
,
that
can
destroy
the
childe
Jesus
after
once
he
is
born
;
nor
could
these
with
all
their
subtilty
,
destroy
that
which
was
born
in
me
,
or
bring
me
to
a
recantation
of
what
I
had
declared
,
that
I
immediately
departed
out
of
these
coasts
,
and
saw
much
of
God
in
it
;
for
I
went
strait
abroad
publishing
the
same
things
with
boldness
,
both
in
writing
and
speaking
,
in
several
Countreys
where
I
was
desired
to
come
.
And
there
living
in
that
Countrey
of
Barkshire
,
where
I
first
began
to
publish
these
things
,
a
man
of
eminency
in
the
world
,
whom
the
Priests
knew
to
be
zealous
for
them
and
their
ways
,
and
they
having
not
prevailed
with
me
to
write
a
recantation
of
those
things
I
held
,
they
then
prevailed
with
him
to
joyn
with
them
in
buying
up
as
many
as
they
could
get
of
the
foresaid
books
,
(
entituled
,
Divine
Teachings
)
in
which
those
things
were
published
,
that
they
might
spread
no
farther
amongst
the
people
;
of
which
books
they
bought
to
the
value
of
about
ten
pounds
worth
,
having
no
other
way
to
stop
them
,
and
which
the
Priests
would
have
had
him
to
have
burned
;
but
he
was
wiser
then
so
;
and
said
,
that
he
would
rather
keep
them
for
waste
paper
,
and
did
not
know
but
that
they
might
yield
him
his
money
again
,
if
the
things
should
after
come
in
request
;
but
however
,
these
books
are
again
reprinted
,
and
the
things
therein
still
maintained
by
me
,
being
the
same
in
me
.
Thus
we
see
how
some
men
,
out
of
zeal
to
their
own
opinions
,
and
others
for
lucre
of
gain
,
not
yet
knowing
the
truth
,
will
endeavour
to
binder
the
spreading
of
truth
,
and
so
through
ignorance
and
blind
zeal
,
will
turn
persecutors
of
Christ
,
his
Kingdom
,
and
the
Righteousness
thereof
.
This
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
and
all
things
therein
,
as
love
,
joy
,
peace
,
life
,
light
,
heaven
,
and
salvation
in
Christ
alone
,
I
ever
since
I
knew
it
,
and
tasted
of
it
,
have
not
ceased
to
write
of
,
publish
and
declare
in
several
Countreys
,
I
have
coveted
no
mans
gold
,
silver
,
or
apparel
:
which
is
all
but
Antichrists
pay
,
in
Antichrists
Kingdom
,
to
Antichrists
servants
,
whose
servants
all
are
that
preach
for
gain
or
hire
,
and
not
for
pure
love
to
Christ
and
all
people
:
When
thou
art
converted
,
strengthen
thy
brother
;
and
,
As
every
man
hath
received
the
gift
,
so
let
them
administer
one
to
another
;
and
not
one
to
forbid
another
:
for
let
one
that
preaches
freely
come
into
the
Church
or
Parish
of
him
that
preaches
for
hire
,
and
the
hireling
will
presently
forbid
the
freeman
;
saying
,
this
is
my
house
and
my
Parish
(
or
Foxes
hole
)
you
shall
not
preach
here
:
he
that
exalts
himself
shal
be
brought
low
,
and
he
that
humbles
himself
shall
be
exalted
;
and
it
is
enough
that
the
servant
be
as
his
Master
,
and
not
above
his
Master
,
though
it
hath
been
so
hitherto
between
the
people
and
their
Ministers
.
What
is
the
Church
but
the
Town-house
,
in
which
the
Priest
,
the
Town-servant
,
is
to
do
the
Towns
work
,
for
which
he
receives
the
Towns
wages
?
And
what
if
the
Master
be
willing
that
the
servant
should
sit
still
,
and
set
another
to
do
his
work
notwithstanding
the
servant
shall
still
have
his
wages
?
O
but
here
is
a
slavish
fear
in
the
servant
,
that
if
another
should
do
his
work
better
then
him
,
it
would
be
to
his
disgrace
;
and
more
then
that
if
the
master
should
once
find
that
he
could
have
his
work
done
freely
,
he
would
then
hire
no
more
;
and
what
would
then
become
of
the
hireling
?
he
must
pack
up
and
be
gone
:
and
so
saith
Christ
,
The
hireling
flyeth
,
because
he
is
an
hireling
,
and
careth
not
for
the
sheep
.
I
am
the
good
Shepherd
(
saith
he
)
and
know
my
sheep
,
and
am
known
of
mine
:
And
sure
Christ
never
preached
for
hire
,
nor
any
that
ever
he
sent
,
that
ever
I
read
of
in
Scripture
:
then
those
that
do
,
were
never
sent
by
him
,
but
by
his
enemy
the
Devil
,
or
Man
of
Sin
,
to
keep
up
a
Kingdom
contrary
to
his
:
and
it
is
very
likely
,
that
the
Man
of
Sin
is
their
Master
that
sent
them
,
because
they
so
much
preach
up
sin
unpardoned
,
which
is
the
keeping
up
of
his
Kingdom
in
which
they
live
,
and
without
which
they
could
not
live
,
as
to
keep
up
that
trade
of
buying
and
selling
the
Word
of
God
:
for
they
live
by
telling
the
people
of
their
sins
,
But
in
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
which
is
a
free
Kingdom
,
there
is
no
such
thing
;
there
is
no
sin
unpardoned
,
therefore
no
telling
the
people
so
,
neither
do
the
people
there
love
to
have
it
so
:
but
there
is
all
sin
pardoned
for
all
men
,
past
,
present
,
and
to
come
;
and
those
that
are
sent
by
Christ
,
and
that
live
in
that
Kingdom
,
come
with
that
message
in
their
mouthes
,
That
all
sin
is
pardoned
,
and
all
men
forgiven
,
But
some
may
say
,
Did
you
never
receive
any
money
for
preaching
?
I
answer
,
I
never
received
any
that
ever
I
put
in
my
own
purse
;
but
where
there
was
money
appointed
for
preaching
,
and
no
Priest
there
to
challenge
it
as
his
propriety
,
that
either
I
must
dispose
of
it
,
or
others
whom
it
concerned
not
,
must
put
it
in
their
own
purses
,
I
gave
order
that
the
poor
of
each
Parish
might
have
it
,
as
will
be
witnessed
in
several
places
:
Paul
,
I
have
coveted
no
mans
silver
,
or
gold
,
or
apparel
:
yet
of
this
will
I
not
glory
,
but
I
will
glory
in
the
Lord
,
who
hath
so
far
kept
me
from
being
a
hireling
in
Antichrists
Kingdom
,
that
he
will
rather
make
all
my
ways
appear
more
for
the
abominating
and
throwing
down
of
all
such
Antichristian
ways
of
maintenance
,
then
for
the
setting
of
it
up
;
for
which
the
Priests
,
and
all
Impropriators
,
with
all
that
live
in
that
and
the
like
maintenance
,
that
knew
me
,
or
had
heard
of
me
,
could
never
abide
me
,
but
always
persecuted
me
,
sought
for
my
imprisonment
,
banishment
or
silencing
,
and
also
my
life
.
While
I
was
thus
carried
forth
in
contending
for
the
truth
,
yet
was
I
still
ready
to
spend
and
be
spent
for
the
good
of
all
people
,
even
my
enemies
;
and
was
more
ready
to
give
then
to
receive
,

to
my
ability

further
proceedings
in

dealings
with

in

Administrations
:
That
his
Doctrine
never
tended
to
draw
men
to
any
Opinion
under
any
one
Form
of
Worship
;
but
to
press
forwards
to
the
life
of
God
in
Christ
,
above
the
Whorish
Religion
and
Vanities
of
the
World
;
that
to
l●ve
in
Vnity
,
Peace
,
and
Love
with
all
men
,
having
peace
with
God
,
is
the
pure
Religion
.
ANd
now
the
manner
of
my
farther
dealings
in
Judgement
and
Doctrine
with
men
in
all
conditions
,
under
their
several
Forms
,
Administrations
or
Dispensations
,
was
still
a
pressing
of
them
forwards
after
Christ
,
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
and
not
a
staying
of
men
any
where
,
or
endeavouring
to
draw
men
to
any
Form
,
Way
,
Worship
or
Opinion
from
Christ
;
neither
to
rail
against
any
man
of
any
opinion
whatsoever
,
but
to
speak
the
truth
to
all
,
shewing
what
all
those
opinions
of
men
are
,
and
what
,
and
where
they
themselves
are
,
while
under
them
;
and
how
they
are
to
forsake
all
,
and
follow
Christ
,
be
they
Prelates
,
Presbyterians
,
Independents
,
Anabaptists
,
or
whatsoever
opinion
else
may
be
found
out
by
man
besides
Christ
,
all
are
to
pass
away
;
and
they
are
to
pass
them
all
by
,
as
by
so
many
harlots
houses
,
For
their
house
is
the
way
to
hell
,
going
down
to
the
chambers
of
death
:
Therefore
let
not
your
hearts
be
inclined
to
their
ways
,
go
not
astray
in
their
pathes
,
lest
you
should
stay
or
be
seduced
by
them
:
But
say
,
friends
,
come
away
,
this
is
not
your
rest
,
arise
,
depart
,
for
it
is
polluted
,
and
if
you
stay
,
it
will
destroy
you
with
a
sore
destruction
;
And
this
is
the
advice
that
I
give
to
all
men
,
in
all
that
I
say
unto
them
,
to
press
forwards
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
;
and
I
do
not
go
about
to
set
up
any
thing
below
the
Lord
Jesus
,
nor
to
draw
men
to
any
opinion
of
things
besides
him
;
but
to
shew
them
the
vanity
and
nothingness
of
all
the
ways
and
opinions
of
men
below
him
,
declaring
what
they
are
in
themselves
,
and
their
places
,
shewing
that
they
are
but
notions
,
and
so
mens
inventions
,
shadows
dying
vanities
,
tormenting
pleasures
,
things
that
would
perish
,
and
come
to
an
end
with
the
using
,
after
the
commandments
and
doctrines
of
men
;
And
this
is
pure
Religion
,
the
new
Jerusalem
,
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lord
,
and
end
of
their
journey
;
where
the
wolf
shall
dwell
with
the
lamb
(
that
is
,
the
wicked
with
the
godly
,
or
men
of
all
opinions
meet
and
agree
in
one
union
and
fellowship
in
the
Lord
Jesus
)
And
where
the
leopard
shall
lie
down
with
the
kid
,
and
the
calf
,
and
the
young
lyon
,
and
the
fatlings
together
,
and
a
little
child
(
to
wit
Christ
)
shall
lead
them
;
and
the
cow
and
the
bear
shall
feed
(
or
all
men
who
have
been
of
different
judgements
,
shall
be
of
one
mind
in
the
Lord
)
their
young
ones
shall
lye
down
together
(
all
men
shall
bring
forth
their
seed
unto
God
)
and
the
lyon
shall
eat
straw
like
the
ox
(
or
God
will
tame
the
wildest
of
creatures
,
the
persecutingst
:
and
most
devouringst
of
men
,
or
of
things
in
men
,
that
all
shall
be
alike
in
knowledge
)
and
the
sucking
childe
shall
play
on
the
hole
of
the
asp
,
and
the
weaned
child
shall
put
his
hand
on
the
cockatrice
den
(
or
he
that
is
sucking
at
the
breast
,
and
he
that
is
weaned
from
the
breast
of
his
own
Religion
,
and
shall
not
one
envy
another
)
for
the
earth
shall
be
full
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Lord
,
as
the
waters
cover
the
sea
:
that
is
,
God
will
so
manifest
himself
,
that
all
men
and
creatures
shall
be
in
union
together
,
love
one
another
,
and
do
unto
others
,
as
they
would
others
should
do
unto
them
:
this
is
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
;
and
this
is
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lord
,
and
high
calling
of
God
,
which
all
men
are
to
press
after
,
and
not
to
rest
till
they
are
come
in
to
it
,
and
is
no
more
nor
no
less
then
what
I
have
always
declared
,
as
that
which
I
received
of
the
Lord
;
yet
not
that
I
Richard
Coppin
,
as
a
creature
,
could
at
any
time
give
to
another
what
I
my self
have
received
,
or
teach
another
what
I
am
taught
,
or
do
for
another
what
the
Lord
hath
done
for
me
in
that
case
,
but
I
onely
declare
what
I
have
received
of
the
Lord
,
and
am
taught
by
the
Lord
,
and
what
the
Lord
may
do
for
others
,
when
the
time
appointed
of
the
Father
shall
come
;
for
he
that
gives
to
me
,
as
a
creature
,
must
give
to
them
as
creatures
;
cease
from
man
,
whose
breath
is
in
h●
nostrils
,
for
wherein
is
he
to
be
accounted
of
?
and
eye
him
the
Lord
Jesus
,
or
that
anointing
within
you
,
who
is
the
salvation
of
all
men
,
and
whom
you
are
to
hear
in
all
things
;
for
all
others
besides
him
,
that
go
forth
as
Teachers
of
the
people
,
are
but
false
Teachers
,
and
Seducers
,
according
to
the
Scripture
,
but
the
Lord
alone
,
or
this
anointing
in
us
is
our
onely
Teacher
;
and
men
in
speaking
one
to
another
,
can
do
no
more
,
as
they
are
men
,
but
tell
one
another
what
the
Lord
hath
done
for
them
;
as
the
Prophet
David
saith
,
Come
hear
,
and
I
will
tell
thee
what
the
Lord
hath
done
for
my
soul
;
and
,
what
we
have
seen
,
and
heard
,
we
declare
unto
you
,
saith
Paul
:
which
declarations
of
men
may
conform
each
other
in
something
which
they
before
have
had
some
little
experience
of
in
themselves
,
the
Lord
working
with
it
,
though
they
did
not
so
know
it
as
to
utter
it
,
which
when
it
is
declared
to
them
,
they
may
then
set
their
seals
to
it
as
truth
to
them
,
there
being
in
them
the
same
spirit
witnessing
to
the
same
things
,
which
makes
them
believe
it
;
For
he
that
believes
hath
the
witness
in
himself
;
but
if
there
be
not
the
same
spirit
witnessing
in
him
that
hears
,
as
is
in
him
that
speaks
,
they
cannot
believe
,
or
set
seal
to
the
truth
of
what
is
spoken
,
any
further
then
it
agrees
with
their
own
spirits
or
opinions
but
will
rather
persecute
it
to
the
death
,
and
also
them
that
shall
declare
it
,
as
they
have
done
to
Christ
,
the
Apostles
,
and
others
since
;
that
from
thence
and
from
●uch
arises
all
persecutions
.
And
so
having
brought
you
thus
far
,
to
shew
unto
you
my
proceedings
hitherto
,
both
of
my
life
and
doctrine
delivered
to
the
world
;
I
shall
go
on
,
and
therein
set
before
you
a
larger
path
of
my
persecution
and
tryals
,
both
at
Worcester
,
Oxford
,
and
at
Glocester
,
as
of
things
considerable
,
from
the
first
beginning
to
the
end

a
further
testimony
to
the

CHAP.
VI.
The
Ministers
malicious
proceedings
against
the
Author
in
Worcestershire
,
to
bring
him
to
a
tryal
:
His
examination
before
several
Justices
and
Ministers
,
and
his
being
bound
over
to
Worcester
Assizes
;
how
,
and
for
what
.
THe
first
proceedings
of
the
Ministers
against
me
,
to
bring
me
to
a
tryal
at
Worcester
,
was
from
my
preaching
at
Emload
in
Worcestershire
,
where
I
was
desired
by
some
of
the
Eminentest
men
of
that
Parish
to
come
,
and
there
to
preach
,
where
I
continued
for
the
space
of
four
days
,
declaring
the
things
which
I
had
seen
and
heard
of
the
Lord
,
both
in
publique
and
private
,
with
the
desire
of
the
people
,
and
the
consent
of
the
said
Minister
of
that
place
:
But
the
said
Minister
finding
the
people
so
much
adhering
to
what
I
delivered
,
and
believing
in
it
more
then
in
what
he
himself
usually
delivered
amongst
them
,
he
began
to
be
wrath
,
and
was
troubled
;
and
fearing
that
he
should
lose
his
flock
,
or
at
least
the
benefit
he
received
of
them
,
he
sent
and
caused
a
dispute
,
or
at
least
a
vain
jangling
to
be
between
some
certain
Ministers
of
that
Countrey
and
my self
,
while
I
was
there
;
some
of
whose
names
are
as
follows
,
Eason
of
Batsford
,
Collier
of
Blackly
,
Nevil
,
and
others
,
as
Ministers
to
the
people
in
their
several
Parishes
,
but
no
grace
could
they
minister
to
the
hearers
,
and
therefore
cannot
be
said
in
truth
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
but
of
Antichrist
,
as
appeared
by
what
they
declared
to
the
people
,
as
also
by
their
practise
;
for
they
endeavoured
to
prove
the
Law
under
that
administration
of
Moses
,
to
be
still
in
force
,
and
that
man
by
keeping
of
it
,
and
doing
the
works
thereof
,
should
be
saved
by
it
,
and
there
would
be
no
need
of
Christ
(
said
they
)
which
thing
I
opposed
them
in
,
declaring
streightway
to
the
people
,
that
if
it
were
by
the
works
of
the
Law
,
by
which
no
flesh
should
be
justified
,
then
not
of
grace
:
but
being
by
grace
,
it
is
no
more
of
works
,
lest
any
man
should
boast
,
and
say
,
they
were
fain
to
help
God
;
and
I
further
said
,
that
if
it
were
possible
for
any
man
now
to
keep
the
Law
in
every
part
and
point
thereof
;
yet
there
were
no
salvation
by
it
,
because
God
had
found
out
another
way
,
a
new
and
a
living
way
,
even
by
Christ
alone
,
or
God
manifest
in
flesh
;
and
to
this
Christ
saith
,
that
he
was
set
up
from
everlasting
,
to
be
the
way
,
the
truth
and
the
light
,
Thomas
Rooks
,
in
the
same
Town
,
where
we
discoursed
upon
the
Scriptures
;
in
which
time
came
in
some
malicious
persons
,
as
spies
sent
(
as
was
supposed
)
by
the
said
Minister
of
the
place
;
who
there
propounded
to
me
some
questions
,
pretending
for
satisfaction
,
and
to
be
informed
in
their
judgements
:
but
it
appeared
they
came
to
catch
something
from
me
to
witness
against
me
at
the
Assizes
,
when
they
brought
such
things
against
me
as
(
they
said
)
I
at
that
time
spoke
in
private
to
them
.
And
thus
you
may
see
of
the
wicked
plots
and
devices
of
wicked
men
,
to
maintain
their
corrupt
and
self-interests
,
and
to
keep
up
a
rotten
Kingdom
that
is
perishing
and
decaying
:

against
me

The
particular
accusations
against
him
;
and

answers
to
them
,
with
the
proceedings
of
the
Court
;
and
how
.
VPon
the
23
day
of
March
I
appeared
at
Worcester
,
at
the
general
Assizes
there
holden
for
that
County
;
where
Ralph
Nevil
of
Emload
,
and
Giles
Collier
of
Blockly
,
Ministers
of
the
said
places
in
the
same
County
,
preferred
a
Bill
of
Indictment
against
me
to
the
Grand-Jury
for
blasphemy
(
as
they
said
)
who
so
found
it
,
and
returned
it
into
the
Court
,
where
my
Lord
Chief
Barron
Wilde
sate
Judge
of
that
Assize
;
before
whom
I
was
then
called
,
and
there
made
my
appearance
:
then
the
Petty-Jury
,
and
the
witnesses
to
the
Bill
being
called
,
the
Bill
of
Indictment
was
read
in
the
Court
;
the
particulars
whereof
are
as
follows
:
The
Charge
in
the
Indictment
.
FIrst
,
that
I
should
say
,
That
they
were
evil
Angels
(
meaning
the
Ministers
who
preach
the
Gospel
of
Christ
)
that
told
people
of
damnation
,
and
that
such
ought
not
to
be
heard
or
believed
.
Secondly
,
That
all
men
whatsoever
should
be
saved
.
Thirdly
,
That
those
that
heard
me
were
all
in
heaven
,
and
in
glory
.
Fourthly
,
That
God
was
as
much
in
them
as
in
Christ
.
Fifthly
,
That
the
Day
of
Judgement
was
begun
160
years
ago
.
Sixthly
,
That
there
was
no
general
Day
of
Judgement
.
Seventhly
,
That
there
was
no
heaven
but
in
man
.
Fighthly
,
That
he
that
thought
there
was
abell
,
to
him
there
was
a
hell
;
but
he
that
thought
there
was
no
hell
,
to
him
there
was
no
bell
.
And
after
the
Indictment
was
read
,
my
accusers
and
the
witnesses
to
the
Bill
were
sworn
,
whose
names
are
as
followeth
,
Ralph
Nevil
of
Emload
,
and
Giles
Collier
of
Blockly
,
accusers
;
William
Petty
,
William
Fletcher
,
and
John
Froobury
of
Emload
witnesses
,
My
Lord
,
I
desire
your
Lordship
that
you
will
be
pleased
to
grant
me
these
few
particulars
:
First
,
That
my
accusers
,
being
not
men
of
the
same
discovery
of
God
that
I
am
,
may
therefore
make
it
appear
before
this
honourable
Court
,
that
they
have
taken
the
Ingagement
,
else
they
are
not
to
have
the
benefit
of
the
Law
.
Secondly
,
That
no
man
whatsoever
may
be
suffered
to
speak
any
thing
against
me
,
till
they
are
sworn
before
this
Honorable
Court
and
my
face
.
Thirdly
,
That
those
witnesses
which
are
here
ready
to
testifie
in
my
behalf
,
may
be
also
heard
,
and
these
Certificates
which
are
here
brought
after
me
by
several
men
,
with
several
mens
names
to
them
,
may
be
also
read
.
Fourthly
,
That
I
may
have
time
and
liberty
given
me
to
answer
fully
to
every
particular
that
may
at
this
time
be
laid
to
my
charge
;
and
having
a
fair
tryal
,
I
shall
be
thankful
to
your
Lordship
;
all
which
particulars
being
granted
,
the
Court
proceeded
.
But
before
I
came
to
answer
their
Indictment
,
my
accusers
presented
to
the
Judge
a
book
,
with
my
name
to
it
,
entituled
,
Mans
Righteousness
Examined
;
which
book
the
Judge
asked
me
if
I
would
own
.
I
answered
,
that
unless
I
heard
it
read
,
I
knew
not
that
it
was
mine
.
Then
said
he
,
Here
is
your
name
to
it
.
I
answered
again
,
that
another
might
write
a
book
,
and
put
my
name
to
it
;
or
others
of
my
name
might
write
a
book
with
that
title
:
but
if
your
Lordship
will
be
pleased
to
cause
the
book
to
be
read
that
I
may
hear
it
,
I
will
tell
you
whether
it
be
mine
or
no
;
who
then
read
part
of
it
himself
,
where
he
thought
fit
,
and
where
my
accusers
directed
him
.
All
which
I
answered
,
and
owned
to
be
mine
,
as
it
was
read
.
Then
said
the
Judge
,
This
book
makes
more
for
him
then
against
him
;
for
you
accuse
him
for
denying
heaven
and
hell
,
when
he
acknowledges
both
in
his
book
;
which
book
the
Judge
put
in
his
pocket
,
and
so
came
to
the
Indictment
;
to
which
my
answer
was
more
large
then
you
will
have
it
here
.
The
first
particular
charged
in
the
Indictment
,
and
the
answer
to
it
was
:
First
,
that
I
should
say
,
That
they
were
all
evil
Angels
;
meaning
the
Ministers
who
preach
the
Gospel
of
Christ
(
said
they
)
that
told
the
people
of
damnation
,
and
that
such
ought
not
to
be
heard
or
believed
.
Answ.
My
Lord
,
there
are
two
administrations
in
manifestation
;
one
of
the
Law
,
and
another
of
the
Gospel
:
First
,
that
of
the
Law
is
a
ministration
of
wrath
,
death
,
the
curse
,
hell
and
condemnation
,
How
beautiful
are
the
feet
of
them
that
preach
the
Gospel
of
peace
,
and
bring
glad
tidings
of
good
things
?
but
though
we
or
an
angel
from
heaven
preach
any
other
Gospel
unto
you
then
that
which
we
have
preached
,
let
him
be
accursed
(
saith
Paul
)
And
you
,
saith
he
to
the
Galathians
,
received
me
as
an
Angel
of
God
,
even
as
Christ
Jesus
,
when
I
preached
unto
you
the
Gospel
of
Christ
freely
;
when
the
other
who
preach
up
sin
unpardoned
to
any
people
after
the
coming
of
Christ
,
whose
coming
is
to
fulfil
all
righteousness
,
and
overcome
all
sin
for
all
people
,
are
not
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
but
of
the
Law
,
and
so
bring
not
tidings
of
good
things
,
but
of
evil
things
;
wherefore
they
appear
to
be
evil
messengers
,
and
so
evil
angels
,
reserved
under
chains
of
darkness
so
long
;
and
such
men
and
doctrines
ought
not
to
be
heard
or
believed
,
who
believe
not
themselves
:
But
hear
and
believe
in
me
(
saith
Christ
)
for
you
shall
be
all
taught
of
me
;
and
,
Him
shall
you
hear
in
all
things
,
saith
Moses
.
And
so
much
of
the
answer
to
the
first
Article
,
to
prove
them
evil
angels
,
(
even
as
devils
)
who
preach
up
sin
unpardoned
,
and
hold
forth
damnation
belonging
to
any
people
any
longer
then
while
they
believe
not
:
and
therefore
I
affirm
,
that
such
ought
not
to
be
heard
or
believed
,
who
themselves
believe
not
this
to
be
true
.
Secondly
,
That
all
men
whatsoever
should
be
saved
.
Answ.
He
will
have
all
men
to
be
saved
,
and
to
come
unto
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
;
There
is
one
Mediator
between
God
and
men
,
the
man
Christ
Jesus
,
who
gave
himself
a
ransom
for
all
,
to
be
testified
in
due
time
:
And
doth
God
will
and
desire
the
salvation
of
all
men
?
Then
may
we
say
,
Lord
,
who
hath
resisted
thy
will
?
let
thy
will
be
done
;
as
hath
been
our
daily
prayer
unto
him
;
and
Paul
saith
,
That
as
by
one
man
death
and
damnation
came
to
all
,
so
by
one
life
and
salvation
came
to
all
;
else
Christ
were
not
sufficient
to
save
all
that
Adam
lost
,
and
to
bring
again
all
that
was
driven
away
:
and
it
is
nowhere
said
,
that
all
men
shall
never
be
saved
,
and
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
:
but
it
is
said
,
that
in
due
time
all
men
shall
be
saved
;
and
Paul
was
sent
to
preach
this
Gospel
to
the
world
,
That
God
hath
concluded
them
all
under
sin
and
unbelief
,
that
he
might
have
mercy
upon
all
.
And
now
,
If
any
man
sin
,
he
hath
an
advocate
with
the
Father
,
Jesus
Christ
the
righteous
,
who
is
a
propitiation
not
onely
for
our
sins
(
or
the
sins
of
a
few
,
to
wit
,
but
also
for
the
sins
of
the
whole
world
;
and
hath
made
full
satisfaction
for
all
,
paid
the
debts
of
all
,
yea
,
all
men
past
,
present
and
to
come
,
and
that
damnation
to
any
creature
is
no
longer
but
for
that
time
wherein
they
believe
not
this
to
be
done
,
as
by
experience
I
can
testifie
;
for
he
that
believes
not
is
condemned
already
:
That
the
body
when
it
falls
,
goeth
to
the
earth
from
whence
it
came
,
and
the
soul
to
God
that
gave
it
:
And
it
is
most
certain
,
that
God
gave
to
every
man
his
soul
;
therefore
he
will
take
every
mans
soul
to
himself
again
,
because
it
can
live
in
no
other
but
him
;
For
thy
maker
is
thy
hushand
the
Lord
of
hoasts
is
his
name
,
the
God
of
the
whole
earth
shall
he
be
called
;
and
though
for
the
time
of
our
rebellion
against
him
,
he
may
seem
to
us
to
hide
his
face
from
us
(
in
our
apprehensions
)
yet
with
an
everlasting
loving
kindness
doth
he
still
love
us
,
and
will
save
us
,
forget
the
shame
of
our
youth
,
and
the
things
that
are
behind
,
and
remember
the
reproach
of
our
widowhood
no
more
:
But
my
accusers
were
troubled
,
and
thought
my
answer
too
large
,
and
the
time
too
long
that
I
had
to
plead
;
who
told
the
Judge
that
my
lungs
were
so
strong
,
that
if
he
suffered
me
still
to
go
on
,
I
would
never
have
done
;
but
the
Judge
honestly
reproved
them
,
saying
,
that
he
had
heard
them
,
and
was
now
to
hear
me
,
who
bid
me
go
on
.
Thirdly
,
That
all
that
heard
me
were
in
heaven
and
glory
.
Answ.
Father
,
glorifie
me
with
thy self
,
with
the
glory
I
had
with
thee
before
the
world
was
;
and
the
glory
that
thou
hast
given
me
,
I
have
given
them
,
that
they
may
be
one
,
even
as
we
are
one
,
I
in
them
,
and
thou
in
me
,
that
they
be
made
perfect
in
one
:
And
the
desire
of
Christ
then
was
,
that
they
might
be
with
him
to
behold
his
glory
;
and
,
O
righteous
Father
(
saith
he
)
I
have
declared
unto
them
thy
name
,
and
will
declare
it
,
that
the
love
wherewith
thou
hast
loved
me
may
be
in
them
,
and
I
in
them
;
And
Christ
and
they
being
one
in
another
,
they
cannot
be
parted
one
from
another
,
but
where
the
one
is
,
the
other
is
also
;
and
Christ
in
raising
up
himself
to
heaven
,
raised
up
them
with
himself
;
together
with
my
dead
body
(
or
as
my
dead
body
)
shall
they
arise
(
saith
Christ
)
and
I
,
if
I
be
lifted
up
,
will
draw
all
men
unto
me
;
and
Paul
saith
,
He
hath
raised
us
up
together
,
and
made
us
sit
together
in
heavenly
places
in
Christ
Jesus
;
and
,
Both
he
that
sanctifieth
,
and
they
who
are
sanctified
,
are
all
of
one
(
yea
,
for
which
cause
he
is
not
ashomed
to
call
them
brethren
;
and
as
they
are
all
brethren
,
so
they
are
also
heirs
,
co-heirs
,
and
joynt-heirs
with
him
in
the
same
heaven
and
glory
of
the
Father
,
that
Christ
is
heir
in
,
though
they
yet
know
it
not
;
and
therefore
all
that
is
yet
wanting
in
and
to
men
,
is
onely
a
manifestation
and
enjoyment
of
this
in
themselves
,
which
in
due
time
will
be
made
manifest
to
them
all
,
as
the
Lord
Jesus
shall
appear
in
them
,
and
God
by
him
be
made
known
to
them
.
Fourthly
,
That
God
was
as
much
in
them
as
in
Christ
.
Answ.
That
God
who
is
the
power
,
life
,
and
light
of
all
men
,
and
that
cannot
be
divided
from
,
neither
confined
to
any
one
man
,
is
the
same
in
all
men
,
as
he
was
in
that
one
man
,
called
Christ
,
born
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
and
crucified
at
Jerusalem
,
though
he
be
not
yet
so
fully
manifested
to
and
in
all
men
,
for
in
him
we
all
live
,
move
,
and
have
our
being
;
and
,
there
is
one
God
and
Father
of
all
,
who
is
above
all
,
through
all
,
and
in
all
,
both
in
Jews
,
Gentiles
,
Heathens
,
Pagans
,
Turks
,
Infidels
,
or
whatsoever
else
they
may
be
called
,
and
there
is
no
difference
,
or
respect
of
persons
with
God
,
but
in
the
manifestation
of
this
to
themselves
,
which
none
can
have
till
the
Holy
Ghost
,
even
the
Spirit
of
truth
,
comes
upon
them
,
as
it
did
on
him
,
and
reveal
it
to
them
,
as
it
did
to
him
,
which
he
hath
promised
,
that
in
due
time
shal
come
and
bring
all
things
to
their
remembrance
:
&
there
is
no
man
but
hath
God
in
him
,
yea
,
the
same
God
that
Christ
had
,
though
not
the
same
measure
of
knowledge
and
understanding
,
till
Christ
in
them
hath
revealed
it
.
And
that
the
Gentiles
might
come
to
know
this
,
Paul
prays
for
them
,
that
they
might
be
strengthned
with
all
might
in
the
inner
man
(
that
is
,
with
all
God
)
to
comprehend
with
all
Saints
what
is
the
bredth
,
and
length
,
and
depth
and
heighth
,
and
to
know
the
love
of
Christ
,
which
passeth
knowledge
,
that
they
might
be
filled
with
all
the
fulness
of
God
,
even
as
Christ
was
,
to
have
in
them
the
same
mind
,
the
same
love
,
life
and
light
,
and
so
be
filled
with
the
same
fulness
of
grace
and
glory
,
whereby
they
come
unto
a
perfect
man
,
unto
the
measure
of
the
stature
of
the
fulness
of
Christ
,
to
know
that
as
he
was
,
so
are
we
in
this
world
;
and
therefore
it
is
no
blasphemy
to
say
that
God
may
be
as
much
in
them
as
in
Christ
(
considered
as
a
man
)
though
it
do
not
yet
appear
so
to
them
,
Fifthly
,
That
the
day
of
judgement
was
began
sixteen
hundred
years
ago
.
Answ
My
Lord
,
according
to
Scripture
acceptation
it
was
so
;
Now
is
the
Iudgement
of
this
world
;
now
shall
the
Prince
of
this
world
be
cast
out
;
and
for
Iudgement
am
I
come
into
this
world
(
said
Christ
)
that
they
which
see
not
,
might
see
;
and
that
they
which
see
might
be
made
blind
;
and
this
coming
of
Christ
to
Judgement
according
to
the
Scripture
,
was
above
sixteen
hundred
years
past
,
and
yet
is
continued
to
this
day
,
though
most
men
are
blind
and
yet
see
it
not
,
which
some
shall
so
long
as
they
have
eyes
of
their
own
to
see
,
and
ears
of
their
own
to
hear
,
till
they
see
with
the
Lords
eye
,
and
hear
with
the
Lords
ear
;
and
the
Apostle
also
said
,
that
the
time
was
then
come
,
that
Iudgement
must
begin
at
the
House
of
God
,
even
with
righteous
men
,
or
men
under
any
form
of
Religion
,
that
had
any
thing
of
their
own
righteousness
to
trust
in
,
besides
Christ
their
righteousness
.
That
this
day
of
Judgement
did
then
begin
,
we
find
;
for
so
soon
as
he
was
but
ascended
and
had
led
captivity
captive
,
he
sent
the
holy
Ghost
the
Comforter
,
Sixthly
.
That
there
was
no
general
day
of
Iudgement
.
Answ.
My
Lord
;
I
know
no
other
day
of
Jodgement
as
to
me
,
then
what
I
have
already
declared
to
your
Lordship
,
which
is
to
be
the
same
with
every
creature
before
it
can
be
finished
;
and
this
may
be
said
to
be
A
general
day
,
wherein
all
men
are
to
appear
before
Christ
to
be
Judged
by
him
in
love
;
for
the
time
is
come
,
&c.
And
though
this
time
of
Judgement
may
be
called
a
day
,
yet
this
day
may
be
thousands
of
years
before
all
the
world
in
every
man
may
be
Judged
,
all
sin
and
transgression
finished
as
to
them
,
and
they
all
set
free
in
the
Lord
;
For
one
day
with
the
Lord
is
as
a
thousand
years
,
and
a
thousand
years
as
one
day
;
and
did
men
once
taste
and
feel
of
the
workings
of
God
in
and
upon
their
souls
,
in
manifesting
his
love
to
them
,
for
the
taking
away
of
sin
and
transgression
from
them
,
they
would
then
be
satisfied
touching
this
day
of
the
Lord
,
which
for
my
part
I
am
already
satisfied
in
,
and
therefore
cannot
but
declare
it
,
and
bear
witness
to
it
as
that
which
is
truth
to
me
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
they
that
know
any
other
,
let
them
declare
that
,
as
I
have
declared
this
.
Seventhly
.
That
there
was
no
heaven
but
in
man
.
Answ.
My
Lord
;
Those
words
do
not
say
there
is
none
at
all
,
but
that
it
is
in
man
,
yet
without
confinement
,
and
this
the
Scripture
also
declares
;
therefore
if
we
would
know
where
heaven
is
,
let
us
first
know
what
it
is
,
and
the
Scripture
tells
us
,
that
the
Kingdom
of
heaven
is
Righteousness
,
peace
and
joy
in
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
that
it
is
within
us
;
for
when
the
Scribes
and
Pharises
came
to
Christ
to
demand
of
him
when
the
Kingdom
of
God
should
come
,
(
as
men
still
do
)
he
answered
them
,
that
The
Kingdom
of
God
cometh
not
with
observations
,
neither
shall
they
say
,
lo
here
,
or
lo
there
;
for
behold
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
within
you
;
and
where
should
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
which
is
a
Kingdom
of
righteousness
,
peace
and
joy
appear
to
be
,
that
men
might
have
peace
and
joy
in
it
,
and
God
glorified
by
it
,
but
in
man
,
the
place
which
the
Lord
hath
appointed
for
himself
to
dwell
in
?
for
behold
the
Tabernacle
of
God
is
with
men
,
that
he
might
be
a
Comforter
to
them
,
to
encrease
amongst
them
righteousness
,
peace
,
and
joy
,
which
is
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lord
;
and
till
we
have
it
in
our selves
,
we
have
it
not
any where
;
but
if
there
,
then
every
where
,
which
is
a
new
name
written
that
no
man
knows
but
he
that
hath
it
;
and
thus
the
Scripture
declares
unto
us
,
what
,
and
where
heaven
is
,
and
I
know
no
other
heaven
(
as
to
me
)
in
which
is
mans
salvation
,
from
sin
,
death
,
hell
,
and
the
world
,
but
Christ
in
man
,
and
man
in
Christ
;
and
they
that
will
have
any
other
,
let
them
declare
what
and
where
that
is
,
as
I
have
declared
what
and
where
this
is
,
which
is
according
to
the
Scripture
,
and
my
own
experience
.
Eighthly
.
That
he
who
thought
there
was
a
hell
,
to
him
there
was
a
hell
;
but
he
that
thought
there
was
no
hell
,
to
him
there
was
no
hell
.
Answ.
My
Lord
,
I
yet
know
no
other
hell
as
to
me
,
then
what
I
have
found
in
my
own
conscience
,
though
the
time
hath
been
,
that
I
have
feared
another
as
most
men
do
,
and
as
all
men
else
have
done
till
their
consciences
were
purged
:
but
this
I
have
found
in
my self
that
when
it
pleased
God
to
make
know
Christ
to
me
,
to
take
away
from
me
the
fear
of
hell
,
he
also
took
away
hell
;
for
fear
hath
torment
;
therefore
to
me
it
appears
,
that
while
we
live
in
the
fear
of
hell
,
we
have
it
,
are
in
it
,
and
so
subject
to
the
punishment
of
it
,
being
kept
in
bondage
by
it
,
till
Christ
in
us
shall
destroy
that
fear
,
and
so
set
our
minds
at
liberry
,
as
is
written
,
That
for
as
much
as
the
children
are
partakers
of
flesh
and
blood
,
Jesus
Christ
himself
took
part
of
the
same
,
that
through
death
he
might
destroy
him
that
had
the
power
of
death
,
which
is
the
Devil
,
and
so
free
them
who
all
their
life
time
were
subject
to
bondage
;
and
now
happy
is
that
soul
that
sees
himself
so
made
free
by
Christ
;
for
he
is
free
indeed
,
and
now
sees
an
end
of
the
Devil
,
sin
,
death
,
and
hell
,
which
he
before
lived
in
fear
of
,
and
was
in
bondage
to
;
and
therefore
when
the
Lord
Jesus
is
pleased
to
deliver
us
from
the
fear
of
it
,
that
it
shall
no
more
have
power
over
us
,
and
thereby
manifest
in
us
perfect
love
wherein
is
no
fear
,
he
then
delivers
us
from
hell
it self
,
from
which
every
believer
is
freed
;
but
the
fearful
and
unbelieving
,
and
the
abominable
and
murthehers
,
and
whoremongers
,
and
sorcerers
,
and
Idolaters
,
and
all
lyars
,
(
while
they
so
remain
)
are
cast
into
it
,
and
so
have
their
part
in
the
Lake
of
fire
burning
with
brimstone
,
till
the
Lord
Jesus
by
his
mighty
power
shall
quench
the
fire
,
raise
them
up
,
and
overcome
all
their
enemies
for
them
,
and
so
restore
peace
to
them
,
in
him
that
is
their
peace
,
the
Lord
Jesus
;
and
then
he
that
hath
part
in
the
first
resurrection
through
Christ
(
or
is
once
made
free
by
Christ
)
of
him
the
second
death
shall
have
no
power
;
but
he
is
changed
from
death
unto
life
by
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
so
sees
an
end
of
death
and
hell
,
as
to
him
:
All
which
I
shall
leave
to
your
Lordships
consideration
and
this
honourable
Court
,
and
do
give
you
many
thanks
for
that
I
have
had
liberty
to
speak
for
my self
.
But
my
accusers
were
much
troubled
that
I
had
so
fair
a
hearing
,
and
began
to
urge
many
other
things
of
their
own
inventions
against
me
,
which
was
not
in
the
Indictment
.
First
they
said
,
that
I
denyed
the
Law
of
Moses
,
in
saying
there
was
no
salvation
by
it
,
which
they
affirmed
it
was
if
man
would
keep
it
;
That
if
it
were
possible
for
a
man
now
to
keep
the
Law
in
the
letter
of
it
(
which
that
it
is
impossible
)
yet
there
would
be
no
salvation
by
it
for
any
man
:
God
having
found
out
another
way
,
even
by
Jesus
Christ
,
without
which
no
man
could
be
saved
.
2.
They
said
,
that
I
denyed
the
keeping
of
the
Sabboth
,
which
they
went
to
prove
from
the
fourth
Commandment
,
Remember
thou
keep
holy
the
Sabboth
day
.
To
which
I
answered
,
that
the
true
Sabboth
of
a
Christian
was
Christ
,
and
I
knew
no
other
,
as
to
me
,
though
that
day
which
they
now
call
a
Sabboth
day
,
I
keep
it
as
exactly
and
as
purely
as
any
of
them
did
,
in
preaching
to
the
people
;
but
not
upon
the
account
of
a
Sabboth
day
,
but
as
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
as
the
Apostles
did
,
being
a
day
set
apart
for
that
use
.
3.
They
said
,
that
I
spake
in
derision
of
heaven
,
saying
that
if
a
Mill-stone
were
at
heaven
,
it
would
be
hundreds
of
years
a
coming
down
.
To
which
I
answered
,
That
I
never
said
the
words
,
but
one
in
my
company
did
once
say
,
that
they
were
spoken
by
a
Minister
in
the
Pulpit
,
who
there
endeavouring
to
shew
unto
the
people
the
vast
distance
between
heaven
and
earth
;
told
them
,
that
if
a
Mill-stone
were
at
heaven
,
it
would
be
many
hundred
years
a
coming
down
,
and
that
one
of
his
hearers
should
make
answer
,
that
if
heaven
were
above
the
skies
,
and
a
Mill-stone
so
long
a
coming
down
,
how
long
then
should
he
be
a
going
up
?
And
this
,
my
Lord
,
was
declared
by
one
of
their
own
tribe
,
yet
they
would
ascribe
it
to
me
,
though
I
never
said
the
words
.
4.
They
said
,
that
I
should
deny
the
resurrection
of
the
body
,
and
said
,
there
was
no
other
but
what
was
in
flowers
and
grass
;
also
when
the
Corps
laid
in
a
grave
were
cast
up
again
,
though
turned
to
earth
,
then
was
there
a
resurrection
.
To
which
I
answered
,
that
the
resurrection
of
the
dead
I
never
denyed
,
but
do
alwayes
affirm
it
;
neither
did
I
ever
speak
those
words
,
though
they
might
be
spoke
in
my
company
:
Yet
it
may
be
said
that
in
this
there
is
a
resurrection
,
though
not
denying
any
other
,
for
the
vertue
of
every
carkass
laid
in
the
earth
,
doth
ascend
upwards
with
the
earth
,
and
so
come
forth
in
flowers
and
grass
;
also
when
a
grave
is
digged
,
and
the
body
before
laid
in
it
,
though
rotted
to
earth
,
again
cast
up
with
the
bones
and
all
things
thereto
belonging
,
then
may
it
be
said
to
be
a
resurrection
of
that
body
,
and
the
true
resurrection
not
denyed
:
but
those
things
being
thus
answered
,
and
the
malice
of
my
accusers
made
manifest
,
the
Judge
appeared
more
satisfied
,
and
my
accusers
more
ashamed
.
Then
after
the
Judge
had
heard
the
whole
business
,
and
declared
the
substance
thereof
to
the
Jury
(
who
understood
it
not
)
they
went
forth
to
consult
upon
their
Verdict
,
whether
all
,
or
any
part
of
the
charge
were
blasphemy
by
the
Act
,
or
no
;
who
returned
in
their
Verdict
,
guilty
:
being
asked
of
what
part
,
they
said
of
that
concerning
heaven
and
hell
.
Then
the
Judge
told
them
,
that
unless
it
came
directly
under
the
Act
of
blasphemy
in
every
particular
point
,
it
could
not
be
found
as
blasphemy
;
who
himself
call'd
for
the
Act
,
and
comparing
it
with
the
Indictment
,
found
it
not
as
the
Jury
had
said
,
to
be
within
the
Act
for
blasphemy
,
for
which
he
reproved
them
,
repeating
the
words
of
the
Act
to
them
,
which
was
as
follows
.
Judge
.
He
that
shall
avowedly
affirm
and
maintain
there
is
no
heaven
and
hell
,
its
blasphemy
by
that
Act
,
but
that
he
doth
not
say
but
doth
acknowledge
there
is
a
heaven
and
hell
in
man
,
as
you
see
him
prove
,
and
therefore
doth
not
affirm
there
is
none
at
all
:
and
words
spoken
by
way
of
private
conference
in
discourse
,
(
as
the
witnesses
do
confess
this
was
)
it
might
be
only
spoken
by
way
of
Proposition
or
Querie
,
to
try
the
Judgements
of
others
,
and
not
as
his
own
judgement
;
and
then
cannot
be
said
to
be
avowed
and
affirmed
,
therefore
not
within
the
Act
:
however
he
shall
continue
bound
till
the
next
Assizes
,
to
discharge
the
Law
,
as
said
the
Judge
.
Then
I
desired
liberty
to
speak
a
little
more
before
I
departed
from
the
Court
:
which
was
as
follows
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
The
Speech
made
to
the
Judge
after
the
Tryal
,
to
vindicate
his
own
and
other
mens
preaching
,
without
a
call
from
the
Vniversity
;
wherein
is
a
true
discovery
of
the
word
of
God
and
the
Scripture
,
what
it
is
.
Of
his
taking
his
leave
of
the
Court.
MY
Lord
,
I
have
here
been
maliciously
and
falsly
persecuted
by
my
adversaries
,
as
hath
appeared
before
the
Court
this
day
;
and
now
is
the
law
open
on
my
behalf
against
all
that
have
falsly
appeared
against
me
;
but
he
that
is
my
Teacher
teaches
me
no
such
thing
,
as
to
seek
revenge
;
but
freely
to
forgive
my
enemies
,
to
love
them
that
hate
me
and
so
leave
all
things
to
him
,
who
will
reward
every
man
according
to
his
works
;
For
vengeance
is
mine
,
and
I
will
repay
(
saith
the
Lord.
)
And
the
reason
why
those
men
do
thus
persecute
me
,
is
for
the
malice
they
have
against
me
for
exercising
these
gifts
that
God
hath
given
me
for
his
glory
,
the
comfort
of
my
soul
,
and
benefit
of
his
people
;
which
gifts
they
know
not
,
because
they
know
not
him
,
neither
will
they
hear
him
,
but
speak
evil
of
the
things
that
are
taught
by
him
;
when
without
him
we
know
nothing
,
That
no
man
knows
the
Son
,
but
the
Father
;
nor
no
man
knows
the
Father
,
but
the
Son
,
and
he
to
whom
the
Son
shall
reveal
him
:
So
the
true
knowledge
of
God
is
not
taught
of
man
,
for
as
every
man
hath
received
the
gift
,
so
let
them
administer
one
to
another
;
and
,
What
is
revealed
an
secret
,
shall
be
published
upon
the
house
tops
(
saith
the
Lord
)
and
this
shall
I
do
if
God
permit
.
The
Judge
said
,
And
you
do
well
in
so
doing
;
for
you
may
preach
wheresoever
you
are
desired
,
so
long
as
you
keep
close
to
the
word
of
God
,
and
make
that
to
be
your
rule
.
I
answered
,
my
Lord
,
I
thank
you
,
and
I
shall
do
so
.
But
what
do
you
call
the
Word
of
God
?
Said
the
Judge
,
the
Scripture
is
the
Word
of
God
.
I
answered
,
that
the
Scripture
,
as
written
in
ink
and
paper
,
is
not
the
Word
of
God
,
but
a
dead
letter
,
which
in
the
reading
and
hearing
thereof
,
tells
us
onely
in
the
ear
what
the
Word
of
God
is
,
but
cannot
teach
or
tell
the
mind
;
neither
doth
it
any
where
say
for
it self
,
that
it self
is
the
Word
of
God
that
can
teach
us
;
but
that
we
are
all
taught
of
the
Lord
,
who
is
himself
the
Word
,
the
Unction
,
the
Holy
one
,
and
anointing
within
us
;
therefore
let
us
not
give
more
honour
to
the
Scripture
then
the
Scripture
takes
to
it self
,
but
let
honour
be
given
to
whom
honour
is
due
,
and
glory
to
whom
glory
is
due
;
and
in
this
we
shall
give
all
unto
God
,
who
is
himself
the
true
Word
and
Teacher
,
as
the
Scripture
declares
him
to
be
;
for
saith
John
,
In
the
beginning
was
the
Word
,
and
the
Word
was
with
God
,
and
the
word
was
God
;
the
same
was
in
the
beginning
with
God
:
and
this
Word
became
flesh
and
dwelt
among
us
,
that
it
might
teach
us
all
things
(
and
saith
John
)
we
behold
the
glory
of
him
,
as
the
glory
of
the
onely
begotten
Son
of
God
,
full
of
grace
and
truth
,
which
is
not
the
Scripture
,
as
written
in
the
Letter
,
but
God
written
in
our
flesh
,
is
this
Word
.
Again
secondly
,
the
Scripture
tells
us
,
that
the
word
of
God
is
quick
,
and
powerful
,
&
sharper
then
any
two-edged
sword
peircing
even
to
the
dividing
asunder
of
soul
and
spirit
,
and
of
the
joynts
and
marrow
,
and
is
a
discerner
of
the
thoughts
and
intents
of
the
heart
:
And
this
the
Scripture
cannot
do
,
but
God
himself
,
as
the
Scripture
tells
us
;
for
it
saith
,
That
he
is
the
searcher
of
the
heart
,
and
the
tryer
of
the
reins
,
and
the
divider
asunder
of
soul
and
spirit
,
and
discerns
the
thoughts
and
intents
of
mens
hearts
;
and
so
the
searcher
and
tryer
of
all
things
(
as
saith
the
Scripture
.
)
Again
thirdly
,
the
Scripture
tells
us
of
Christs
riding
upon
a
white
horse
,
conquering
and
to
conquer
,
and
that
his
name
was
called
The
Word
of
God
;
the
Letter
kills
,
but
the
Spirit
gives
life
;
which
spirit
is
the
Word
,
and
the
Word
is
Christ
.
I
am
come
that
you
may
have
life
(
saith
Christ
)
and
,
because
I
live
,
ye
shall
live
also
:
And
this
Word
(
even
Christ
)
is
nigh
us
,
in
us
,
yea
round
about
us
,
still
teaching
of
us
,
and
giving
life
unto
us
,
which
is
the
work
of
Christ
,
and
not
the
Scripture
.
But
this
I
will
say
of
the
Scripture
(
which
is
what
the
Scripture
saith
of
it self
)
that
it
is
an
outward
testimony
of
God
,
his
mind
,
Christ
the
Word
,
Faith
and
Eternal
Life
,
Heaven
and
Salvation
to
those
that
do
believe
;
but
not
that
it self
is
either
of
all
these
,
or
can
give
unto
us
the
knowledge
of
it
;
and
that
we
might
know
the
insufficiency
of
it
,
search
the
Scriptures
(
for
saith
he
)
in
them
you
think
to
have
eternal
life
,
and
they
are
they
which
testifie
of
me
;
and
ye
will
not
come
to
me
,
that
ye
may
have
life
:
Yet
this
Scripture
,
as
it
is
given
by
inspiration
,
so
it
is
profitable
for
doctrine
,
I
will
put
my
law
in
their
inward
parts
,
and
write
it
in
their
hearts
,
and
I
will
be
their
God
,
and
they
shall
be
my
people
,
and
cause
them
to
walk
in
my
statutes
,
of
loving

another
.
And
the
Word
of
God
being
once
written
in
our
hearts
,
it
is
then
profitable
for
us
,
to
teach
reprove
,
correct
and
instruct
us
,
make
us
perfect
in
the
inward
man
,
furnish
us
,
fit
and
qualifie
us
with
gifts
and
graces
unto
all
good
works
,
and
no
otherwise
can
it
do
it
for
us
,
but
as
it
is
within
us
.
And
this
is
the
honour
and
praise
that
I
will
give
to
the
Word
of
God
,
and
to
the
Scripture
,
to
sum
it
all
up
in
God
,
in
whom
I
desire
to
know
,
to
live
,
to
act
,
and
enjoy
all
things
of
God
;
and
I
desire
not
to
speak
,
think
,
act
or
maintain
any
thing
that
I
have
not
the
letter
for
,
as
well
as
the
Spirit
;
the
truth
and
mystery
of
which
letter
no
man
knows
till
he
hath
it
revealed
to
him
by
the
Spirit
,
and
Internal
Word
,
that
declares
the
Father
plainly
,
which
so
far
as
it
speaks
in
me
,
And
now
,
my
Lord
,
I
give
you
many
thanks
that
you
have
so
patiently
heard
me
,
and
given
me
liberty
to
speak
for
my self
.
Yet
before
I
depart
,
I
shall
desire
to
present
one
Scripture
more
,
which
I
shall
but
onely
read
,
and
so
leave
it
to
the
consideration
of
this
honourable
Court
.
Said
the
Judge
,
I
thought
you
had
done
.
Answ.
If
your
Lordship
desire
it
,
I
have
.
Said
the
Judge
,
Nay
,
but
we
will
hear
your
Scripture
.
Answ.
It
is
in
the
sixth
of
the
Acts
,
from
the
8.
verse
to
the
end
.
And
Steven
full
of
faith
and
power
,
did
great
wonders
and
miracles
among
the
people
:
then
there
arose
certain
of
the
Synagogue
,
which
is
called
the
Synagogue
of
the
Libertines
,
Cyreneans
,
Alexandrians
,
and
of
them
of
Cilicia
,
and
of
Asia
,
disputing
with
Steven
,
and
they
were
not
able
to
resist
the
wisdom
and
the
spirit
by
which
he
spake
;
then
they
suborned
men
,
which
said
,
we
have
heard
him
speak
blasphemous
words
against
Moses
,
and
against
God
;
and
they
stirred
up
the
people
,
and
the
Elders
,
and
the
Scribes
,
and
came
upon
him
,
and
caught
him
,
and
brought
him
to
the
Councel
,
and
set
up
false
witnesses
,
which
said
,
This
man
ceaseth
not
to
speak
blasphemous
words
against
this
holy
place
,
and
the
Law
;
for
we
have
heard
him
say
,
that
this
Jesus
of
Nazareth
shall
destroy
this
place
,
and
shall
change
the
Customs
which
Moses
delivered
us
:
and
all
that
sate
in
the
Counsel
,
looked
stedfastly
on
him
,
saw
his
face
as
it
had
been
the
face
of
an
Angel
.
And
now
I
shall
take
my
leave
,
according
as
the
Apostles
in
times
past
have
done
,
who
when
they
had
suffered
for
the
name
of
Christ
,
they
departed
from
the
presence
of
the
Council
,
rejoycing
that
they
were
counted
worthy
to
suffer
shame
for
his
name
(
so
shall
I
at
this
time
)
and
(
as
)
daily
in
the
temple
,
and
in
every
house
,
they
ceased
not
to
teach
and
preach
Jesus
Christ
;
so
shall
not
I
,
my
Lord
,
cease
to
do
the
same
,
so
far
as
God
shall
enable
me
;
and
so
I
take
my
leave
of
your
Lordship
.
And
paying
the
fees
of
the
Court
,
I
was
discharged
for
that
time

ANd
I
standing
bound
until
the
next
Assizes
at
Worcester
,
which
was
then
six
moneths
to
come
,
my
accusers
Ralph
Nevil
and
Giles
Collier
in
the
mean
time
imployed
men
on
purpose
to
follow
me
from
place
to
place
,
where
they
heard
I
preached
or
came
,
to
enquire
into
my
Doctrine
,
Life
and
Conversation
,
with
endeavours
to
get
something
more
against
me
,
to
accuse
me
at
the
next
Assizes
following
,
as
my self
and
several
persons
well
knew
.
And
they
hearing
of
some
difference
in
dispute
that
was
between
some
Ministers
and
my self
at
Enstone
in
Oxfordshire
,
where
I
had
before
been
and
preached
,
they
came
to
an
Inn
in
Enston
,
and
sent
for
the
Ministers
that
differed
with
me
,
of
whom
they
got
a
certificate
of
some
particulars
which
they
said
I
there
delivered
,
and
which
they
counted
blasphemy
.
And
when
I
appeared
at
Worcester
next
Assizes
,
before
Judge
Nicholes
,
my
accusers
gave
to
the
Judge
their
certificate
,
which
was
as
follows
:
First
,
That
I
should
say
Christ
ayed
for
his
own
sins
as
well
as
the
Peoples
.
Secondly
,
That
there
was
no
heaven
and
hell
but
what
was
in
man
.
Thirdly
,
That
everlasting
life
should
end
in
this
life
.
But
no
witness
sworn
to
it
:
And
my
accusers
having
no
witness
there
,
they
,
with
many
fair
speeches
used
to
the
Judge
desired
him
to
bind
me
to
appear
at
the
next
General
Assizes
holden
at
Oxford
,
to
answer
to
what
was
in
this
their
certificate
,
and
what
more
they
in
the
mean
time
could
find
against
me
:
For
,
said
they
to
the
Judge
,
that
being
his
own
Countrey
,
we
shall
there
by
that
time
get
something
more
against
him
.
And
the
Judge
willing
to
do
my
accusers
a
pleasure
against
me
,
as
Festus
did
the
Jews
against
Paul
,
when
he
left
him
bound
:
So
Judge
Nicholes
,
without
any
oath
made
by
any
man
against
me
,
demanded
of
me
bail
for
my
appearance
at
Oxford
Assizes
which
was
six
moneths
after
that
,
and
would
not
suffer
me
to
speak
for
my self
,
but
took
part
with
my
accusers
.
Then
I
desired
of
him
law
and
justice
;
and
told
him
,
that
there
being
nothing
upon
oath
proved
against
me
,
there
was
no
reason
that
I
should
stand
any
longer
bound
Said
the
Judge
,
if
I
will
have
it
so
,
you
shall
stand
bound
,
&c
Answ.
My
Lord
,
if
you
will
make
your
will
a
Law
.
I
cannot
help
that
;
but
this
I
know
that
as
you
use
the
exactness
of
the
Law●n
condemning
those
whom
the
Law
condemns
,
so
you
ought
to
use
the
exactness
of
the
Law
,
in
freeing
those
whom
the
●aw
frees
.
But
the
Law
at
this
time
frees
me
,
therefore
I
desire
it
.
No
,
said
the
Judge
,
you
shall
not
be
freed
,
for
I
understand
that
you
take
upon
you
to
preach
and
never
stayed
to
take
your
degrees
at
the
University
;
you
shall
therefore
appear
at
Oxford
to
answer
to
those
things
there
.
And
said
the
Judge
,
if
I
would
take
upon
me
to
preach
,
I
could
preach
as
well
as
you
,
and
better
,
for
I
was
bred
up
to
more
learning
then
you
,
and
yet
I
wil
not
take
it
upon
me
,
because
I
was
not
called
to
it
,
&c.
Answer
,
My
Lord
,
I
was
called
to
Preach
,
and
you
were
not
;
do
you
know
what
the
call
is
?
if
you
did
,
you
would
not
oppose
it
;
and
if
it
be
the
Lords
will
that
I
must
appear
at
Oxford
to
answer
things
as
I
have
done
at
Worcester
,
his
will
be
done
;
for
I
remember
what
the
Lord
said
unto
Paul
when
he
was
bound
from
place
to
place
;
Be
of
good
cheer
Paul
(
said
he
)
for
as
thou
hast
testified
of
me
in
Jerusalem
,
so
must
thou
bear
witness
also
at
Rome
;
and
now
am
I
not
only
ready
to
be
bound
,
but
to
suffer
for
his
name
,
and
to
bear
witness
of
the
Truth
at
Oxford
,
as
I
have
done
at
Worcester
,
and
shall
have
peace
in
all
things
therein
,
knowing
it
to
be
the
Lords
cause
for
which
I
stand
bound
.
So
giving
in
bayl
,
and
paying
the
Fees
of
the
Court
,
I
was
dismissed
until
the
next
appearance
at
Oxford

,
and
the
malice
of
his
Adversaries
discovered
.
VPon
the
tenth
day
of
March
1652.
I
appeared
at
Oxford
Assizes
,
where
Ralph
Nevil
of
Emload
,
and
Giles
Collier
of
Blockly
in
the
County
of
Worcester
preferred
a
Bill
of
Indictment
against
me
to
the
Grand
Jury
(
as
they
said
)
for
blasphemy
;
the
Charge
therein
is
as
follows
.
The
Charge
in
the
Indictment
.
FIrst
.
(
That
I
should
say
)
That
Christ
dyed
for
his
own
sins
at
well
as
the
Peoples
.
Secondly
.
That
there
is
no
heaven
and
hell
but
what
is
in
man
.
Thirdly
.
That
everlasting
life
should
end
in
this
life
.
These
are
the
things
which
by
them
I
was
Indicted
for
as
blasphemy
,
and
which
by
the
Grand
Jury
were
so
found
and
returned
to
the
Court
,
that
I
was
put
upon
the
tryal
thereof
.
But
before
you
come
to
the
tryal
,
I
shall
speak
something
of
both
Juries
,
as
of
carnal
natural
men
,
and
so
ignorant
of
such
things
as
they
were
to
enquire
into
concerning
me
;
for
the
natural
man
knows
not
the
things
of
God
,
neither
can
he
,
because
they
are
spiritually
discerned
:
but
sure
for
the
most
part
they
were
but
carnal
men
,
therefore
in
such
things
ignorant
men
,
and
against
such
things
malitious
men
,
as
hath
been
known
:
being
also
men
for
the
most
part
known
to
be
of
the
Bishops
and
Presbyterian
opinion
,
very
few
of
the
Independents
,
though
there
is
but
little
difference
between
them
in
their
opinions
concerning
their
judgements
and
knowledge
in
such
things
,
of
whom
it
may
be
said
and
also
proved
,
as
hath
appeared
by
their
practise
,
that
they
aim
more
at
their
own
worldly
,
private
,
and
self-interests
,
then
at
the
glory
of
God
,
or
good
of
other
people
,
and
which
is
well
known
have
been
,
and
gladly
would
be
persecutors
of
those
that
live
godly
in
Christ
Jesus
,
and
that
are
not
the
same
with
them
in
their
opinions
,
as
hath
appeared
by
some
of
them
,
which
both
I
and
others
have
already
known
by
experience
:
yet
I
love
them
still
in
the
same
love
as
I
love
all
others
,
and
will
the
salvation
of
their
souls
as
of
all
others
,
though
they
may
not
so
love
me
,
but
hate
me
,
for
that
they
never
saw
or
heard
from
me
.
And
therefore
it
is
most
evident
,
that
they
proceeded
against
me
from
the
malice
they
had
to
me
,
and
not
any
thing
known
by
me
for
any
blasphemy
there
was
in
it
,
for
I
am
sure
there
was
none
,
neither
could
any
be
found
,
either
by
the
Law
of
God
or
of
man
as
first
for
the
Law
of
God
I
am
sure
it
is
not
,
for
there
is
nothing
in
all
the
Scripture
writ
against
it
;
however
all
blasphemy
on
Gods
part
is
forgiven
,
and
Christ
hath
already
answered
for
it
,
in
the
behalf
of
all
men
.
And
secondly
,
for
the
Law
of
man
or
any
late
Act
of
Parliament
made
against
blasphemy
,
I
am
also
sure
that
there
is
never
a
particular
contained
in
this
Bill
that
comes
within
the
compass
of
the
Act
:
as
for
the
first
and
last
particulars
in
the
Bill
,
that
Christ
should
die
for
his
own
sins
,
as
well
as
for
the
peoples
,
and
that
everlasting
life
should
end
in
this
life
,
there
is
no
mention
of
it
made
in
the
Act.
Then
for
the
second
,
that
there
is
no
heaven
and
hell
but
what
is
in
man
,
there
is
no
mention
made
of
it
neither
,
as
these
words
are
laid
down
and
expressed
in
the
Bill
;
for
the
A●●
saith
,
If
any
shall
avow
and
affirm
that
there
is
no
heaven
and
hell
then
it
is
blasphemy
according
to
that
Act
,
but
in
this
Bill
,
or
in
these
words
before
mentioned
,
there
is
a
heaven
and
a
hell
acknowledged
,
though
not
such
a
one
as
some
men
would
have
,
but
such
a
one
as
is
in
man
,
which
is
according
to
the
Scripture
,
and
some
mens
experience
;
yet
not
that
any
other
is
denyed
,
which
by
others
may
be
proved
,
and
there
being
(
in
the
Bill
)
a
heaven
and
a
hell
acknowledged
it
therefore
comes
not
within
the
compass
of
the
Act
,
and
then
cannot
be
found
guilty
by
the
Act.
Again
,
the
witnesses
to
the
Bill
do
confess
that
these
words
fell
in
by
way
of
dispute
or
conference
after
Sermon
,
and
were
not
spoke
in
Sermon
,
therefore
cannot
be
said
to
be
avowed
and
affirmed
,
as
the
Judge
did
very
well
make
it
appear
in
the
tryal
:
and
which
if
the
honest
behaviour
of
the
Juries
had
extended
so
far
,
they
,
before
they
had
condemned
it
,
should
have
examined
whether
the
words
in
the
Bill
did
reach
any
Act
of
Parliament
or
no
,
that
made
it
appear
to
be
what
in
the
Bill
it
was
said
to
be
,
without
which
they
ought
not
to
have
found
it
,
though
the
Bill
so
said
it
;
for
let
any
Bill
say
what
it
will
,
they
are
to
examine
it
whether
it
be
what
in
the
Bill
it
is
said
to
be
or
no
,
as
treason
,
blasphemy
,
felony
,
or
whatsoever
crime
else
in
the
Bill
may
be
exprest
,
without
which
they
are
not
to
find
any
Bill
,
and
for
want
of
this
,
many
a
man
and
cause
have
suffered
;
and
now
how
honest
and
just
his
Jury
have
been
in
the
examination
of
this
Bill
,
according
to
Law
and
Justice
,
when
they
found
it
,
and
brought
guilty
;
let
all
men
that
read
and
hear
it
,
Judge
of
it
;
but
so
much
for
both
the
Juries
;
next
the
tryal
in
the
Court.
And
then
the
Bill
being
read
,
the
witnesses
to
the
Bill
were
called
to
give
in
their
evidence
,
whose
names
are
as
followeth
.
First
,
one
Beckingam
of
Enston
in
Oxfordshire
,
the
Minister
of
the
Parish
where
these
words
for
which
I
am
accused
were
(
as
they
say
)
spoke
,
and
that
gave
me
leave
to
preach
in
his
said
Parish
Church
the
whole
day
,
but
afterwards
finding
the
people
to
be
more
taken
with
my
Doctrine
(
which
was
the
Doctrine
of
free
grace
)
then
with
his
(
that
was
not
)
and
fearing
his
own
should
be
no
more
so
well
accepted
,
he
cryes
out
against
mine
as
blasphemy
,
and
so
comes
to
witness
against
me
for
it
,
who
to
excuse
himself
,
said
he
came
not
as
an
accuser
,
but
was
brought
only
as
a
witness
,
whose
testimony
was
according
to
the
Bill
.
The
second
witness
was
one
Cannon
of
the
same
Town
,
a
hearer
of
the
said
Beckingam
,
who
at
that
present
approved
very
well
of
what
I
had
said
,
as
himself
afterwards
confessed
to
some
others
,
and
said
it
was
the
best
Sermon
that
ever
he
heard
in
his
life
,
till
his
Master
the
said
Minister
of
the
Parish
had
tutoured
him
and
made
him
change
his
opinion
,
who
then
came
as
a
witness
also
,
and
whose
conscience
began
to
accuse
him
when
he
was
to
give
in
his
testimony
(
as
it
there
appeared
)
for
when
he
should
have
said
life
everlasting
ended
in
this
life
,
he
could
not
for
his
life
bring
forth
the
word
everlasting
but
said
that
this
life
ended
in
this
life
;
and
when
the
Judge
asked
him
again
,
he
said
,
that
when
a
man
dyed
his
life
ended
but
could
not
say
the
word
everlasting
,
till
he
had
it
given
him
in
writing
by
my
accusers
Nevil
of
Emload
,
and
Collier
of
Blockly
,
two
constant
accusers
of
the
brethren
,
and
that
had
been
my
accusers
before
at
Worcester
,
as
before
was
declared
;
who
never
heard
those
things
delivered
by
me
at
Ensto●
,
which
they
accused
me
for
:
neither
me
,
when
I
preached
there
though
they
here
became
my
accusers
,
and
did
also
plead
these
things
against
me
at
Oxford
:
first
to
the
Grand
Jury
,
and
after
to
the
Court
,
also
laying
many
other
things
to
my
charge
which
I
knew
not
:
but
I
believe
it
was
with
an
intent
to
make
good
what
they
had
before
said
,
which
was
,
that
they
would
not
leave
me
till
they
had
my
life
,
which
was
the
same
that
the
Jews
said
of
Paul
,
And
the
evidence
being
given
,
I
was
called
to
my
answer
,
which
begins
with
these
Propositions
,
as
follows
.
My
Lord
,
HAving
here
liberty
to
answer
for
my self
,
I
therefore
humbly
beseech
your
Lordship
to
grant
me
these
particulars
.
First
.
That
seeing
these
my
Adversaries
are
men
of
a
contrary
discovery
of
God
;
and
are
here
come
against
me
,
that
they
may
fairly
make
it
appear
before
this
honourable
Court
,
whether
they
are
men
that
have
taken
the
ingagement
or
no
,
without
which
I
know
them
not
to
have
the
benefit
of
the
Law
,
and
I
speak
it
for
this
reason
(
my
Lord
)
because
they
being
Ministers
of
Parishes
,
and
I
knowing
some
of
them
not
to
observe
the
last
thanksgiving
day
,
with
many
others
before
,
which
by
the
Parliament
was
appointed
to
be
kept
,
makes
me
to
question
this
thing
.
Secondly
.
That
none
might
be
suffered
to
speak
any
thing
against
me
in
this
honourable
Court
,
till
such
time
that
they
are
sworn
before
this
Court
and
my
face
.
Thirdly
.
That
those
men
which
were
hearers
of
me
at
Enston
(
the
time
when
t
is
said
these
words
were
delivered
,
and
are
here
present
)
may
be
suffered
to
speak
;
also
a
certificate
which
I
understand
is
by
them
brought
,
touching
the
things
of
my
charge
,
and
of
my
Doctrine
then
delivered
,
with
another
from
Oxford
,
and
several
mens
names
to
them
both
,
who
are
here
ready
to
testifie
the
truth
of
them
,
that
they
also
may
be
read
in
this
Honourable
Court
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
many
people
;
and
thereby
shew
the
mistakes
of
my
adversaries
,
in
the
things
which
they
accuse
me
.
Fourthly
.
That
I
may
have
liberty
to
speak
for
my self
,
in
answer
to
every
particular
accusation
in
my
charge
brought
against
me
.
And
these
things
being
granted
,
I
shall
be
thankful
to
your
Lordship
.
Said
the
Judge
,
what
you
desire
shall
be
granted
,
and
you
shall
have
a
fair
tryal
,
but
we
shall
not
hear
any
Certificates
read
.
But
the
time
being
short
,
the
night
coming
on
,
and
I
hastily
called
to
answer
to
my
charge
,
being
my self
willing
also
to
come
to
it
,
fearing
I
should
be
streightned
in
time
,
and
nothing
doubting
of
my
coming
off
,
that
some
of
those
things
which
were
by
me
desired
before
to
be
granted
,
were
passed
by
,
and
no
more
remembred
;
and
these
Certificates
before
mentioned
,
being
not
then
permitted
by
the
Judge
to
be
read
in
the
Court
,
it
was
therefore
desired
by
those
that
signed
them
,
to
have
them
printed
with
the
rest
,
to
shew
unto
the
world
what
it
was
they
set
their
hands
unto
;
some
having
since
charg'd
them
with
setting
their
hands
to
vindicate
blasphemy
:
which
Certificates
are
as
follow
.
A
Copy
of
a
Certificate
presented
to
the
Court
,
by
many
of
the
godly
and
well-affected
people
living
about
Enston
,
in
the
behalf
of
Richard
Coppin
.
WE
whose
names
are
here
under-written
,
were
all
at
the
hearing
of
Richard
Coppin
,
the
time
when
he
preached
at
Enston
,
and
heard
all
that
was
then
delivered
;
yet
heard
not
any
thing
delivered
by
him
,
but
what
was
truth
,
according
to
the
Scripture
and
our
experience
,
in
which
we
were
satisfied
,
and
should
be
glad
to
imbrace
the
like
opportunity
,
as
to
hear
the
like
again
,
if
providence
should
so
order
it
.
And
whereas
(
through
the
mistake
of
some
men
in
their
apprehensions
)
he
is
or
may
be
accused
for
any
thing
then
delivered
:
As
,
First
,
for
saying
That
Christ
should
suffer
for
his
own
sins
as
well
as
the
Peoples
.
We
do
hereby
testifie
that
he
at
that
time
did
again
and
again
say
,
that
Christ
suffered
not
for
them
as
acted
by
him
,
but
as
imputed
to
him
,
and
so
they
became
his
which
he
proved
from
these
Scriptures
,
He
was
made
〈◊〉
for
us
;
and
,
The
Lord
hath
laid
upon
him
the
iniquity
of
us
all
.
And
Secondly
,
That
he
should
say
,
There
is
no
heaven
and
hell
but
what
is
in
man
.
He
did
not
but
did
prove
from
Scripture
,
that
there
was
a
heaven
and
a
hell
in
man
,
not
denying
any
other
,
which
by
others
might
be
believed
,
as
to
them
.
And
Thirdly
,
That
he
should
say
,
That
everlasting
life
should
end
in
this
life
.
He
did
not
;
but
said
,
That
there
was
that
written
in
Scripture
,
which
was
said
to
be
everlasting
,
yet
had
an
end
;
as
he
proved
from
the
ending
of
the
first
Covenant
and
Priest-hood
under
the
Law
,
with
the
conditions
thereof
,
which
was
said
to
be
for
ever
.
And
Fourthly
,
as
to
his
life
and
conversation
,
it
hath
been
so
civil
,
honest
and
respective
towards
all
men
,
for
all
that
ever
we
saw
or
knew
of
him
that
none
ever
yet
could
accuse
him
;
and
therefore
we
do
believe
,
that
for
the
good
that
is
in
him
and
proceeds
from
him
,
to
the
edifying
of
many
people
,
he
is
hated
and
persecuted
.
To
all
which
particulars
,
we
have
here
subscribed
our
names
,
and
shall
be
ready
to
take
our
Oaths
.
A
Copy
of
a
Certificate
presented
to
the
Court
by
many
of
the
godly
and
well-affected
people
of
Oxford
,
in
the
behalf
of
Richard
Coppin
.
WE
the
Inhabitants
of
the
City
of
Oxford
,
whose
names
are
here
underwritten
,
do
hereby
certifie
,
That
Richard
Coppin
hath
several
times
preached
in
Oxford
,
and
hath
been
heard
by
us
;
who
never
heard
any
thing
delivered
by
him
,
to
our
knowledge
,
but
what
hath
been
true
and
sound
doctrine
,
according
to
the
Scripture
,
and
the
manifestation
of
God
to
us
:
And
we
do
also
certifie
,
that
his
life
and
conversation
hath
ever
been
towards
all
sorts
of
men
,
honest
,
just
and
upright
,
that
ever
we
could
see
,
know
,
or
hear
of
him
.
Concerning
which
,
we
have
here
subscribed
our
names
,
and
shall
be
also
ready
to
testifie
upon
Oath
.
The
first
particular
Charged
in
the
Indictment
.
FIrst
,
That
I
should
say
,
That
Christ
Jesus
the
Son
of
God
,
and
Saviour
of
the
world
,
did
suffer
for
his
own
sins
as
well
as
the
Peoples
.
Answ.
My
Lord
,
for
answer
to
this
,
I
do
affirm
,
and
ever
did
since
I
knew
and
declared
any
thing
of
God
,
That
Jesus
Christ
the
Son
of
the
living
God
,
and
Saviour
of
the
whole
world
,
as
he
lives
in
God
,
never
acted
sin
,
but
imputatively
all
our
sins
became
his
,
were
laid
upon
him
,
Emmanuel
,
God
with
us
)
did
no
sin
,
neither
was
guil
found
in
his
mouth
(
as
saith
the
Scripture
)
yet
he
was
made
sin
for
us
;
and
,
The
Lord
hath
laid
upon
him
the
iniquity
of
us
all
,
and
by
his
stripes
are
we
healed
:
by
his
life
are
we
saved
and
do
live
;
for
(
saith
Christ
)
Because
I
live
,
ye
shall
live
also
:
And
now
the
head
cannot
be
said
to
live
without
the
body
,
nor
the
body
without
the
head
;
Ye
are
the
body
of
Christ
,
and
members
in
particular
;
and
in
this
sense
he
may
be
said
to
suffer
for
his
own
sins
,
which
is
no
blasphemy
to
say
.
Secondly
,
That
there
is
no
heaven
and
hell
but
what
is
in
man
.
Answ.
My
Lord
,
for
answer
to
this
,
I
do
affirm
,
and
ever
did
(
as
aforesaid
)
First
,
That
there
is
a
God
(
according
to
the
Scriptures
)
and
that
this
God
is
the
God
of
truth
,
peace
and
love
and
the
Father
of
it
;
who
is
called
a
Spirit
,
and
whose
throne
is
in
heaven
,
Secondly
,
That
there
is
a
Devil
(
according
to
the
Scripture
)
and
this
Devil
is
the
god
of
sin
,
as
of
this
world
,
which
darkens
all
appearances
of
good
things
;
And
Thirdly
,
That
there
is
also
a
heaven
for
the
righteous
in
Christ
,
to
be
saved
and
made
happy
in
life
and
salvation
with
Christ
in
God
;
and
there
is
a
hell
also
for
the
wicked
,
in
which
they
are
and
shall
be
tormented
with
the
Devil
and
false
Prophets
;
but
for
the
place
,
what
and
where
it
is
,
so
far
as
the
Scripture
is
silent
in
it
,
we
are
to
be
silent
in
it
,
and
cannot
determine
of
it
any
further
then
the
Scripture
doth
.
But
this
we
may
say
with
the
Scripture
first
,
concerning
heaven
,
that
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
righteousness
,
peace
,
and
joy
in
the
holy
Ghost
:
and
,
Behold
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
within
you
;
yet
on
high
with
God
,
And
as
concerning
hell
,
it
is
in
Scripture
compared
to
a
grave
;
and
we
read
that
Christ
descended
into
it
;
and
David
saith
to
God
,
Thou
wilt
not
leave
my
soul
in
hell
(
meaning
the
grave
)
nor
suffer
thy
holy
one
to
see
corruption
:
For
out
of
the
belly
of
hell
(
said
he
)
cryed
I
unto
thee
,
and
thou
heardst
my
voyce
;
for
when
thou
hadst
cast
me
into
the
deep
(
or
depth
of
darkness
)
into
the
midst
of
the
sea
(
or
under
many
troubles
and
afflictions
)
and
the
floods
compassed
me
about
,
all
thy
billows
and
thy
waves
passed
over
me
;
then
I
said
,
I
am
cast
out
of
thy
sight
(
or
saw
thee
in
wrath
)
yet
I
will
look
again
toward
thy
holy
Temple
,
where
I
shall
behold
thee
in
love
,
when
thou
shalt
raise
me
up
.
Though
they
dig
into
hell
,
thence
shall
my
hand
take
them
,
and
your
covenant
with
death
and
hell
shall
be
d●sanulled
,
saith
the
Lord
:
But
it
is
most
sure
that
there
is
a
hell
for
the
wicked
,
as
there
is
a
heaven
for
the
godly
,
and
all
that
are
in
Christ
Jesus
.
And
for
this
,
let
us
consider
of
one
Scripture
more
,
in
Matth.
25.
where
heaven
is
said
to
be
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
and
hell
at
the
left
hand
,
compared
with
Psal.
16.11
.
In
thy
presence
is
fulness
of
joy
,
and
at
thy
right
hand
are
pleasures
for
evermore
(
meaning
in
heaven
with
God
)
and
how
those
on
the
right
hand
,
and
that
have
increased
their
talents
,
enter
into
the
joy
of
the
Lord
,
as
into
heaven
,
where
they
are
at
rest
for
ever
;
when
those
on
the
left
hand
,
and
that
have
not
increased
their
talents
,
go
into
utter
darkness
,
as
into
hell
,
where
is
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
,
pining
and
mourning
for
sin
,
and
where
they
are
at
no
rest
.
And
thus
there
is
a
heaven
,
wherein
eternal
life
is
enjoyed
by
Christ
and
all
his
:
and
there
is
a
hell
,
wherein
everlasting
punishment
is
inflicted
upon
the
Devil
,
and
all
his
:
But
let
us
use
the
Scripture
expression
for
it
,
if
we
shall
declare
it
,
which
is
according
to
the
mind
of
God
.
Thirdly
,
That
everlasting
life
should
end
in
this
life
.
Answ.
My
Lord
,
for
answer
to
this
,
I
do
affirm
,
That
I
never
(
then
,
and
so
)
said
the
words
;
and
I
do
also
affirm
,
That
everlasting
life
with
Christ
in
God
,
shall
never
have
an
end
;
and
that
believers
,
or
the
righteous
in
Christ
go
to
it
,
as
to
God
,
enjoy
it
as
God
,
and
still
remain
in
it
,
as
in
God
,
with
Christ
,
Object
.
But
for
a
further
clearing
of
this
,
some
may
yet
say
,
Is
there
not
a
life
which
shall
have
an
end
,
and
yet
said
to
be
everlasting
?
Answ.
I
answer
,
That
there
is
a
life
according
to
manifestation
spoken
of
in
Scripture
,
which
seems
to
have
an
end
,
or
be
made
perfect
in
another
life
,
and
yet
said
to
be
everlasting
;
as
the
life
of
works
and
of
nature
ends
,
and
is
made
perfect
in
the
life
of
grace
;
the
life
of
grace
ends
,
and
is
made
perfect
in
the
life
of
glory
;
the
lesser
still
swallowed
up
of
the
greater
,
the
lower
of
the
higher
,
the
darker
of
the
lighter
,
the
weaker
of
the
stronger
,
to
be
made
perfect
;
and
so
at
last
all
things
end
and
are
made
perfect
in
God
.
Object
.
But
how
is
that
which
ends
said
to
be
everlasting
?
Answ.
For
further
answer
to
this
it
may
also
be
said
,
That
if
the
first
Covenant
and
Priesthood
under
the
Law
,
with
the
conditions
thereof
,
For
after
these
daies
(
saith
he
)
a
new
Covenant
will
I
make
,
&c.
therefore
a
new
life
will
he
give
.
And
that
the
word
(
Everlasting
)
and
(
For
ever
)
hath
an
end
with
us
,
I
shall
yet
prove
from
several
Scriptures
;
for
in
some
Scriptures
it
is
said
,
The
earth
shall
endure
for
ever
;
as
Eccles.
1.
in
others
it
is
said
,
The
earth
shall
be
dissolved
and
burnt
up
:
now
that
earth
which
shall
have
no
end
,
must
be
that
which
had
no
beginning
;
for
whatsoever
hath
a
beginning
,
hath
also
an
end
;
and
what
that
earth
is
which
hath
neither
beginning
nor
end
,
the
Preacher
in
Ecclesiastes
will
tell
you
.
But
there
is
a
earth
which
shall
have
an
end
,
and
that
is
the
earth
which
the
Devil
feeds
upon
,
Before
him
went
the
pestilence
,
and
burning
coals
went
forth
at
his
feet
;
he
stood
and
measured
the
earth
,
he
beheld
and
drove
asunder
the
Nations
,
and
the
everlasting
mountains
were
scattered
,
the
perpetual
hills
did
bow
;
that
is
,
the
mountains
of
fear
,
sin
,
death
,
the
Devil
,
and
mens
pretended
holiness
,
heaven
and
happiness
,
which
is
filthiness
when
out
of
its
place
;
Faithful
and
true
,
and
that
reigns
himself
for
ever
and
ever
,
world
without
end
.
And
thus
one
life
ends
in
another
life
,
the
life
of
the
old
man
in
the
life
of
the
new
man
;
or
we
changed
from
life
to
life
,
from
glory
to
glory
,
from
one
everlasting
to
another
,
til
we
can
change
no
more
;
A
word
of
Conclusion
to
the
Iudge
.
AND
now
lastly
,
I
cannot
but
add
a
few
words
more
,
and
therein
affirm
both
before
God
and
men
,
that
ever
since
I
knew
any
thing
of
God
,
my
whole
design
both
in
writing
,
speaking
and
walking
according
to
the
utmost
of
my
power
received
of
God
,
hath
ever
been
,
and
I
hope
ever
shall
be
,
still
to
set
forth
the
glory
of
God
,
the
advancement
of
Christs
Kingdom
,
peace
and
righteousness
among
men
,
and
the
throwing
down
of
Antichrist
,
the
Devil
and
his
Kingdom
,
with
all
deceivableness
,
and
unrighteousness
of
men
and
whatsoever
else
is
and
hath
been
contrary
to
the
publike
peace
of
this
Nation
,
under
which
we
should
be
protected
,
and
no
longer
do
I
desire
or
shall
endeavour
to
write
or
speak
a
word
,
then
that
it
should
not
tend
to
this
,
even
the
advancement
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
without
partiality
,
or
aiming
at
any
private
or
self-interest
of
my
own
or
an●
others
distinct
,
but
for
the
publike
good
of
all
men
,
whom
I
desire
and
do
still
endeavour
in
love
to
serve
being
made
willing
to
spend
and
be
spent
for
them
,
notwithstanding
the
many
reproaches
,
revilings
and
persecutions
I
meet
withal
;
yet
still
that
I
would
continue
a
faithful
servant
to
the
truth
in
all
things
,
by
which
I
am
made
free
to
serve
in
love
and
for
which
I
am
not
only
ready
to
be
bound
,
but
to
suffer
.
All
which
particulars
according
to
your
Lordships
desire
,
I
do
most
humbly
present
you
with
before
this
honourable
Court
,
and
so
leave
them
to
your
consideration
,
to
do
as
the
Lord
of
heaven
and
earth
shall
direct
you
who
works
all
things
according
to
the
counsel
of
his
own
will
,
and
will
glorifie
himself
in
all
things
that
himself
doth
.
And
now
what
shall
I
say
more
?
why
let
the
Lords
will
be
done
,
whether
in
life
or
death
,
in
freedom
or
imprisonment
,
according
to
his
own
will
and
pleasure
be
it
,
into
whose
blessed
arms
of
mercy
,
love
,
joy
,
and
peace
.
I
do
freely
give
up
my self
,
and
shall
for
ever
lodge
in
his
bosom
of
life
and
salvation
,
there
to
rest
and
abide
for
ever
.
While
I
was
making
my
answer
,
my
accusers
with
many
others
of
their
consorts
,
did
all
the
time
of
my
pleading
interrupt
me
,
urging
many
things
to
me
to
insnare
me
,
and
to
incense
the
Judge
and
Jury
against
me
,
till
the
Judge
reproved
them
for
it
,
who
after
he
had
heard
my
answer
,
and
understanding
it
,
knowing
it
also
not
to
come
within
the
compass
of
any
late
Act
of
Parliament
,
and
withal
perceiving
the
malice
of
my
enemies
,
did
as
the
Lord
had
directed
him
,
who
before
the
petty
Jury
went
forth
to
consult
upon
their
verdict
(
who
understood
it
not
themselves
,
neither
what
they
had
to
do
in
such
a
business
,
being
all
ignorant
men
both
of
the
Law
,
and
of
such
things
)
acquainted
them
with
the
truth
of
the
business
,
that
so
Justice
and
Equity
might
take
place
,
whose
directions
were
according
to
what
follows
.
Judge
.
You
of
the
Jury
,
you
have
heard
the
evidence
,
and
you
have
heard
the
answer
of
his
defence
,
which
if
what
he
hath
said
to
us
be
his
meaning
,
it
is
very
good
,
and
what
I
believe
my self
to
be
truth
,
and
we
are
to
take
his
sense
and
meaning
upon
the
words
,
and
not
anothers
,
the
words
being
his
own
:
but
should
we
take
the
very
express
words
of
the
Indictment
,
without
a
qualification
of
them
,
yet
it
comes
not
under
the
Law
,
or
Act
of
Parliament
,
according
to
the
rule
of
which
Act
we
are
to
go
;
as
for
the
first
thing
,
that
he
should
say
Christ
dyed
for
his
own
sins
,
it
comes
not
neer
it
,
though
indeed
the
second
concerning
heaven
and
hell
comes
something
neer
it
,
yet
not
so
neer
as
to
be
found
within
the
compass
of
it
;
for
the
Act
saith
,
if
a
man
avow
and
affirm
that
there
is
no
heaven
and
hell
;
but
that
he
doth
not
,
and
this
also
was
by
way
of
dispute
or
conference
after
Sermon
,
as
you
see
the
witnesses
to
the
Bill
do
confess
;
and
what
is
said
in
dispute
,
cannot
be
said
to
be
avowed
and
affirmed
,
for
it
may
fall
in
by
way
of
an
Argument
,
&c.
And
as
to
the
last
words
,
that
everlasting
life
should
end
in
this
life
,
there
is
nothing
mentioned
in
the
Act
against
it
;
therefore
we
are
not
to
meddle
with
it
,
and
you
are
not
to
bring
him
in
guilty
for
any
thing
he
is
here
indicted
,
it
being
not
within
the
compass
of
the
Act.
And
thus
with
other
words
to
that
purpose
,
did
the
Judge
speak
to
the
Jury
before
they
gave
in
their
verdict
,
which
none
that
heard
it
but
thought
it
had
been
sufficient
to
have
satisfied
any
honest
Jury
in
the
world
,
had
they
been
but
rational
men
;
yet
it
satisfied
not
these
,
for
they
malitiously
brought
me
in
guilty
,
who
were
prompt
to
it
by
my
accusers
and
others
that
followed
them
forth
of
the
Court
,
contradicting
the
words
of
the
Judge
,
saying
that
they
were
not
to
take
notice
of
what
the
Judge
had
said
,
neither
of
my
answer
,
but
the
Bill
.
Being
asked
the
reason
why
they
brought
me
in
guilty
;
they
said
they
could
do
no
less
,
they
were
so
followed
by
the
Priests
from
place
to
place
and
importuned
to
it
,
that
they
could
be
at
no
quiet
for
them
unless
they
did
it
.
A
wise
Jury
,
to
be
sworn
and
then
swayed
by
other
men
!
but
this
they
did
to
do
the
Priests
a
pleasure
against
me
,
as
Festus
did
to
do
the
Jews
a
pleasure
against
Paul
,
Acts
25.9
.
Then
the
Judge
examined
them
what
crime
they
found
me
guilty
of
:
they
answered
they
could
not
tell
what
but
according
to
the
evidence
;
then
said
the
Iudge
,
doth
the
thing
evidenced
come
within
the
compass
of
the
Act
?
who
again
caused
the
Act
to
be
read
to
them
and
bid
them
take
notice
of
it
;
yet
they
could
not
tell
what
crime
I
was
guilty
of
,
but
still
said
according
to
the
Evidence
;
then
the
Iudge
asked
them
what
the
Evidence
was
,
and
they
could
not
declare
it
tell
they
were
told
it
:
and
now
how
unfit
these
men
are
to
be
made
a
Iury
of
such
things
,
let
all
men
that
hear
it
take
notice
.
Then
the
Iudge
as
before
(
perceiving
their
ignorance
)
shewed
them
how
it
came
not
within
the
compass
of
the
Act
,
and
therefore
ought
not
to
be
found
;
then
said
the
Iury
,
we
will
referr
it
to
you
:
Nay
said
the
Iudge
,
I
must
have
your
verdict
:
Not
guilty
then
,
said
some
of
the
Iury
;
others
said
guilty
;
what
are
you
divided
(
said
the
Iudge
)
I
will
not
receive
your
verdict
till
you
are
agreed
,
and
unless
you
will
agree
upon
it
,
you
shall
be
shut
up
together
in
one
room
all
night
,
where
you
shall
have
neither
bread
nor
beer
,
fire
nor
candle
.
But
when
they
heard
this
,
they
began
to
murmur
within
themselves
why
they
should
not
agree
,
yet
the
●udge
willing
to
shew
them
favour
,
did
only
rebuke
them
,
bidding
them
to
bring
in
their
verdict
the
next
morning
by
eight
of
the
clock
,
upon
pain
of
twenty
pound
a
piece
,
and
where
I
was
then
also
my self
to
appear
,
and
there
according
to
the
request
of
the
Judge
I
was
to
give
in
the
heads
of
my
answer
in
writing
,
which
then
did
,
and
it
was
there
read
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
Court.
Then
the
Jury
being
again
called
,
before
they
gave
in
their
Verdict
,
used
the
name
or
one
Veysie
of
Tainton
neer
Burford
,
which
(
said
they
)
desires
to
be
a
witness
against
him
,
for
saying
that
Christ
was
the
cause
of
Cains
fall
.
No
said
the
Judge
●
will
hear
no
such
malitious
fellows
,
but
will
keep
close
to
the
●ndictment
;
and
you
of
the
Jury
are
to
mention
none
,
but
to
give
in
your
Verdict
:
then
said
they
,
guilty
.
Now
the
Judge
well
knowing
the
Law
,
and
how
that
those
things
came
not
within
the
compass
of
it
;
also
perceiving
the
malice
of
my
accusers
and
the
ignorance
of
the
Jury
in
such
things
,
as
was
then
manifested
;
and
himself
willing
to
do
justice
,
took
bayl
for
my
appearance
at
the
next
Assizes
,
at
which
my
accusers
began
to
fall
mad
,
crying
out
again
for
my
imprisonment
,
banishment
or
silencing
,
but
the
Judge
told
them
he
could
do
neither
,
but
must
go
according
to
the
Law
,
and
the
Law
did
not
require
any
such
thing
.
Then
my
accusers
to
lay
another
foundation
again
to
ensnare
me
,
having
missed
the
former
,
presented
to
the
Judge
a
paper
,
wherein
were
many
particular
points
of
their
own
judgement
,
that
he
should
prevail
upon
me
to
set
my
hand
to
it
,
as
that
which
I
would
own
for
truth
,
thereby
to
confirm
theirs
,
&
I
never
more
to
preach
against
the
same
;
but
this
being
offered
to
me
,
I
refused
it
,
and
desired
not
to
set
my
hand
to
other
mens
writings
,
but
to
what
I
write
my self
,
unless
I
may
read
it
,
and
also
find
it
to
be
truth
according
to
the
Scripture
and
my
apprehension
;
then
said
the
Judge
(
in
the
presence
of
my
accusers
)
take
it
and
read
it
;
which
I
did
and
gave
it
to
the
Iudge
again
;
and
because
my
accusers
with
others
,
reported
that
I
set
my
hand
to
all
that
they
had
writ
,
as
a
recantation
of
what
my self
formerly
writ
,
and
declared
:
therefore
for
the
satisfaction
of
other
people
,
the
proving
of
them
lyers
,
and
clearing
my self
in
it
,
it
is
here
published
both
what
they
writ
,
and
also
what
part
thereof
I
refused
,
and
what
I
signed
distinctly
as
followeth
.
A
Paper
written
by
my
Accusers
and
presented
to
the
Judge
for
me
to
sign
,
which
I
would
not
.
WHereas
at
several
passages
in
a
printed
book
that
goes
forth
in
my
name
,
and
in
a
publike
discovery
at
Enston
about
Iune
last
,
several
persons
have
been
offended
,
and
been
induced
to
believe
that
I
am
guilty
of
holding
and
publishing
blasphemous
opinions
;
for
the
satisfying
all
such
persons
,
and
clearing
my self
,
I
do
heartily
and
sincerely
profess
and
declare
against
them
,
as
follows
.
First
,
That
Jesus
Christ
the
only
begotten
Son
of
God
,
being
eternal
God
and
equal
with
the
Father
,
did
in
the
fulness
of
time
take
to
himself
mans
nature
;
yet
without
sin
;
being
holy
,
harmless
,
undefiled
,
as
the
Scripture
saith
.
Secondly
,
The
Lord
Iesus
Christ
for
discharging
the
office
of
Mediatorship
whereunto
he
was
called
by
his
Father
,
did
perfectly
fulfill
the
Law
,
indured
the
shameful
and
cursed
death
of
the
cross
,
but
not
for
himself
,
being
perfectly
free
from
sin
,
but
that
he
might
satisfie
for
the
sins
of
his
people
.
Thirdly
,
The
third
day
he
rose
from
the
dead
with
the
same
body
with
which
he
suffered
;
with
which
also
he
ascended
into
heaven
,
and
there
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
.
Fourthly
,
The
bodies
of
men
after
death
return
to
dust
,
but
their
souls
which
die
not
,
return
to
God
who
gave
them
;
the
souls
of
the
righteous
are
received
into
the
highest
heaven
where
they
enjoy
God
in
glory
,
waiting
for
the
full
redemption
of
their
bodies
;
and
the
souls
of
the
wicked
are
cast
into
hell
,
where
they
remain
in
torment
,
reserved
to
the
Iudgement
of
the
great
day
.
Fifthly
,
At
the
last
day
such
as
are
found
alive
,
shall
be
changed
;
and
all
that
are
dead
shall
be
raised
up
with
the
same
body
,
which
shall
be
united
again
to
their
souls
for
ever
.
Sixthly
,
God
hath
appointed
a
day
wherein
he
will
judge
the
world
in
righteousness
by
Jesus
Christ
,
in
which
day
the
Apostles
and
Angels
shall
be
judged
,
and
all
persons
that
have
lived
upon
the
earth
shall
appear
before
the
Tribunal
of
Christ
,
to
give
an
account
of
their
thoughts
,
words
and
deeds
,
and
to
receive
according
to
what
they
have
done
in
their
bodies
,
whether
good
or
evil
.
These
things
I
believe
,
and
do
not
publish
any
thing
contrary
to
them
;
and
for
any
passages
that
have
fell
from
me
contrary
to
these
ignorantly
,
inconsiderately
,
or
wilfully
I
do
profess
my self
troubled
at
and
ashamed
of
but
this
I
excepted
against
,
and
would
not
set
my
hand
unto
as
follows
.
My
Lord
,
there
are
some
things
which
I
may
set
my
hand
unto
,
but
there
are
some
things
that
are
false
and
I
shall
not
set
my
hand
to
that
,
unless
they
will
here
make
it
good
by
Scripture
before
this
honourable
Court
.
Then
said
the
Judge
to
me
;
What
is
that
you
say
is
false
which
you
except
against
?
Answ.
My
Lord
,
●irst
wherein
they
say
several
passages
have
been
written
and
spoken
by
me
,
to
the
inducement
of
several
persons
to
believe
that
I
am
guilty
of
holding
and
publishing
blasphemous
opinions
,
which
they
would
now
have
me
to
declare
against
,
and
profess
my self
ashamed
of
:
when
I
know
nothing
that
ever
I
spoke
or
writ
since
the
time
of
my
call
,
that
I
went
forth
to
declare
any
thing
of
God
that
was
so
or
ever
could
be
proved
blasphemy
by
them
,
though
they
have
endeavoured
to
do
it
,
therefore
not
to
be
declared
against
by
me
.
My
Lord
;
Another
thing
in
the
fifth
particular
which
they
declare
as
their
judgement
is
,
that
the
same
body
which
dyes
,
shall
after
death
be
so
raised
again
and
united
to
the
soul
for
ever
;
which
thing
is
false
my
Lord
,
and
I
know
no
Scripture
to
prove
it
;
if
there
be
,
let
them
produce
it
,
for
here
they
are
.
Then
the
Judge
(
looking
upon
them
)
asked
if
there
were
no
such
Scripture
;
but
they
were
silent
and
answered
not
a
word
;
then
Justice
Jenkins
who
sate
upon
the
bench
,
undertook
to
answer
for
them
,
and
said
,
there
is
such
a
Scripture
:
produce
it
you
then
,
said
I
,
and
let
me
see
it
,
or
I
shall
not
believe
it
;
but
he
was
silent
also
,
and
there
was
no
man
to
be
found
that
could
shew
that
Scripture
;
then
I
instanced
a
Scripture
in
the
1
Cor.
15.
to
the
contrar●
that
the
same
body
was
not
to
rise
again
,
but
God
giveth
it
a
body
as
pleaseth
him
,
which
body
none
of
them
yet
knew
.
Then
the
Judge
perceiving
that
those
things
which
by
them
were
written
,
and
by
me
excepted
against
,
could
not
by
them
nor
any
other
be
proved
,
he
commanded
them
to
be
crossed
forth
before
their
faces
,
and
they
had
nothing
to
say
for
themselves
which
was
to
the
great
shame
and
disgrace
of
my
accusers
,
and
others
of
their
tribe
,
that
those
things
which
they
have
so
long
held
forth
and
maintained
to
the
people
for
truth
,
and
as
their
judgments
,
that
this
should
now
be
crossed
out
before
their
faces
as
an
error
;
sure
as
bad
a
thing
as
ever
they
could
have
done
against
themselves
in
things
of
that
nature
;
which
makes
it
to
appear
,
that
the
greatest
blasphemer
cryed
blasphemy
first
,
and
these
things
being
crossed
out
,
I
set
my
hand
to
the
rest
,
which
is
as
follows
,
and
which
to
my
knowledge
I
never
declared
any
thing
contrar●
to
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
in
a
spiritual
sense
,
in
which
sense
we
are
to
understand
all
things
of
that
nature
.
The
part
culars
which
I
signed
.
FIrst
,
that
Iesus
Christ
the
only
begotten
son
of
God
,
being
eternal
God
and
equal
with
the
Father
,
did
in
the
fulness
of
time
take
to
himself
mans
nature
yet
without
sin
,
being
holy
,
harmless
,
undefiled
,
as
the
scripture
saith
.
Secondly
,
The
Lord
sesus
Christ
for
discharging
the
office
of
Med●atorship
,
whereunto
he
was
called
by
his
Father
,
did
perfectly
fulfill
the
Law
,
endured
the
shameful
and
cursed
death
of
the
cross
,
but
not
for
himself
,
being
(
as
he
was
)
perfectly
free
from
sin
;
but
that
he
might
satisfie
for
the
sin
of
his
people
.
Thirdly
,
The
third
day
he
rose
from
the
dead
with
the
same
body
with
which
he
suffered
,
with
which
also
he
ascended
into
heaven
,
and
there
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
(
but
not
with
flesh
and
blood
.
)
Fourthly
,
The
bodies
of
men
after
death
return
to
dust
,
but
their
souls
which
die
not
return
to
God
who
gave
them
;
the
souls
of
the
righteous
are
received
into
the
highest
heaven
,
where
they
enjoy
God
in
glory
,
waiting
for
the
full
redemption
of
their
bodies
;
and
the
souls
of
the
wicked
are
cast
into
hell
,
where
they
remain
in
torment
reserved
to
the
Judgment
of
the
great
day
.
Fifthly
,
At
the
last
day
,
such
as
are
found
alive
shall
be
changed
,
and
they
that
are
dead
shall
be
raised
up
.
Sixthly
,
God
hath
appointed
a
day
wherein
he
will
Judge
the
world
in
righteousness
by
Jesus
Christ
,
which
day
the
Apostate
Angels
shall
be
Iudged
,
and
all
persons
that
live
upon
the
earth
,
shall
appear
before
the
tribunal
of
Christ
,
to
give
an
account
of
their
thoughts
,
words
and
deeds
,
and
to
receive
according
to
what
they
have
done
in
their
bodies
,
whether
good
or
evil
.
These
things
I
do
believe
(
according
to
the
Scriptures
)
and
never
publish
any
thing
contrary
to
them
.

second
appearing
at
Oxford
Assises
before
Judge
Hutton
,
and
what
was
there
done
.
I
According
to
my
engagement
appeared
the
second
time
at
the
general
Assises
holden
at
Oxford
,
there
expecting
again
to
have
seen
the
faces
of
my
former
accusers
,
they
having
before
said
they
would
follow
me
to
death
;
but
they
finding
nothing
against
me
came
not
there
;
&
proclamation
being
made
in
the
Court
for
my
discharge
,
and
none
other
having
any
thing
against
me
to
declare
,
one
Keat
the
then
Sheriff
for
that
County
,
sitting
in
the
Court
,
being
of
a
bitter
spirit
,
and
also
an
enemy
to
truth
,
as
he
then
appeared
,
stood
up
as
one
among
the
rest
of
the
accusers
and
informers
,
saying
that
he
could
declare
something
against
me
,
which
was
spoke
in
London
;
but
when
he
was
asked
what
it
was
,
no
particular
could
be
mention
,
but
said
that
he
had
heard
very
strange
things
declared
by
me
at
S.
Dunstons
Church
in
London
,
before
a
great
Congregation
of
people
of
great
quality
,
to
the
great
dishonour
of
God
,
and
the
people
disturbance
,
as
said
this
informer
Mr.
Keet
,
who
earnestly
importuned
the
Judge
to
restrain
me
from
preaching
;
in
answer
to
which
the
Judge
told
him
that
a
mans
liberty
was
pretious
,
and
there
was
no
reason
any
man
should
be
restrained
from
his
liberty
therein
,
by
any
mans
words
whatsoever
,
unless
oath
were
made
against
him
that
he
had
offended
the
Law
.
Therefore
(
said
the
Judge
)
I
cannot
do
it
upon
your
words
,
nor
any
mans
else
;
for
then
I
should
be
partial
,
and
I
came
not
onely
to
bind
,
but
to
free
men
Then
the
Informer
Mr.
Keat
by
name
receiving
those
repulses
from
the
Judge
,
was
silent
,
and
sate
him
down
with
shame
,
and
then
the
bitter
spirits
of
others
in
the
University
,
whose
mouthes
were
ready
to
be
opened
in
malice
against
me
,
were
quashed
,
my
freedom
ordered
,
and
my
enemies
ashamed
.

The
Authors
humble
appeal
to
his
Highness
Oliver
Lord
Protector
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
as
a
General
redress
for
all
people
.
My
Lord
,
FOrasmuch
as
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
of
Lords
to
call
you
to
this
high
place
of
Protectorship
(
under
himself
)
and
according
as
he
shall
protect
,
counsel
,
guide
and
direct
you
,
as
he
did
Christ
and
the
rest
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
,
so
you
may
act
like
them
in
walking
before
the
people
to
do
justice
among
them
;
For
by
him
Kings
reign
,
and
Princes
decree
justice
,
who
himself
reigns
in
them
to
be
their
wonderful
Counsellor
.
And
now
,
as
according
to
the
counsel
of
the
Lord
,
your
Highness
hath
been
pleased
to
declare
your self
both
by
promise
and
oath
to
seek
the
peace
,
freedom
and
liberty
of
the
people
of
this
and
other
Nations
against
oppression
and
tyranny
,
and
to
protect
them
in
their
just
rights
and
priviledges
,
according
to
the
mind
of
God
written
in
Scripture
for
Christian
Religion
,
that
then
(
in
the
Lords
time
)
and
as
he
himself
shall
appear
to
go
before
you
,
and
act
in
you
,
so
you
may
according
to
his
directions
follow
him
in
persuit
thereof
,
bringing
glory
to
God
in
the
highest
,
and
on
earth
peace
,
and
good
will
towards
men
.
Which
you
shall
,
so
far
as
you
follow
the
counsel
of
the
Lord
,
and
not
of
men
,
That
this
freedom
of
theirs
,
as
it
is
in
the
Lord
,
and
wrought
by
the
Lord
is
not
to
be
setled
or
established
upon
any
one
sort
of
people
,
under
any
one
form
of
Religion
whatsoever
,
any
further
then
the
Lord
hath
called
them
,
and
shall
himself
establish
it
in
them
,
but
all
are
to
have
like
freedom
,
according
to
the
several
Dispensations
or
Administrations
they
yet
appear
to
live
under
,
And
you
,
like
Christ
to
be
a
nursing
Father
to
them
all
,
without
having
respect
to
particular
times
,
places
,
persons
and
interests
,
or
any
degree
of
calling
whatsoever
distinct
,
but
to
assist
and
protect
all
whose
practice
is
not
licentious
,
and
who
in
their
ways
are
not
destructive
to
true
love
,
peace
and
unity
among
men
.
And
how
you
are
not
to
hinder
any
,
but
to
further
all
that
doth
any
thing
of
the
work
of
the
Lord
,
for
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
good
of
one
another
;
and
so
according
to
the
example
of
Christ
,
And
now
that
your
Highness
cannot
be
ignorant
of
the
oppression
and
cruelty
that
the
free-born
people
of
the
Lord
yet
lie
under
,
and
is
still
continued
against
them
by
a
generation
of
oppressive
people
that
would
still
Lord
it
over
their
lives
,
liberties
and
estates
;
and
endeavour
to
bring
all
men
to
their
own
ways
and
customs
,
and
so
keep
their
poor
brethren
in
bondage
and
slavery
still
under
them
,
never
suffering
the
freedom
of
Christ
to
break
forth
,
in
and
among
his
people
;
but
instead
of
increasing
the
light
and
liberty
thereof
,
they
rather
seek
to
quench
and
inthral
it
.
But
this
I
know
,
and
therefore
am
at
peace
in
my self
,
that
the
Lord
Jesus
will
suddenly
arise
with
deliverance
for
his
people
,
to
bring
them
out
of
their
captivity
,
into
their
glorious
liberty
,
and
so
restore
peace
to
all
men
,
and
himself
then
reign
as
a
Prince
of
peace
in
all
Nations
.
This
work
of
the
Lord
,
for
the
glory
of
God
,
and
good
of
all
people
,
which
is
now
to
be
done
,
you
know
to
be
recorded
in
the
58.
Chapter
of
the
Prophet
Isaiah
,
from
the
6.
verse
to
the
end
;
and
the
reward
that
will
follow
the
accomplishment
of
this
work
:
which
work
,
saith
the
Prophet
,
is
,
to
loose
the
bands
of
wickedness
,
to
undo
the
heavy
burthens
,
and
to
let
the
oppressed
go
free
,
&c.
and
that
ye
break
every
yoke
;
also
to
deal
thy
bread
to
the
hungry
,
and
that
thou
bring
the
poor
that
are
cast
out
to
thy
house
;
when
thou
seest
the
naked
,
that
thou
cover
him
,
and
that
thou
hide
not
thy self
from
thy
own
flesh
,
&c.
then
shall
thy
light
break
fo●th
as
the
morning
,
and
thine
health
shall
spring
forth
speedily
,
and
thy
righteousness
shall
go
before
thee
,
and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
shall
be
thy
reward
,
&c.
That
then
according
(
as
this
is
to
be
done
,
)
as
God
shall
enable
you
,
and
in
every
thing
fit
and
qualifie
you
for
this
work
of
his
,
so
you
may
as
a
just

impartial
Governor
in
the
hands
of
the
Lord
,
be
pleased
to
come
forth

a
general
redress
for
all
people
to
make
good
this
good
work
of
the
Lord
,
which
he
hath
been
pleased
to
put
you
upon
the
promise
of
for
the
deliverance
of
his
people
,
that
so
under
your
protection
they
may
live
securely
,
walk
chearfully
,
and
sit
down
contentedly
in
that
which
makes
most
for
the
peace
of
their
own
souls
,
the
safety
of
their
bodies
,
and
the
happy
success
one
of

to
the
end
that
God
both
from
your self

all
others
,
may
in
all

have
all
the
glory
;
his
people

peace

you
the

And
therefore
now
inasmuch

by
your
Highness
(
in
whose
hands
under
God
the
power
of
this
and
other
Nations
is
at
this
time
seated
,
the
Lord
hath
been
pleased
to
promise
a
performance
of
this
work
,
give
me
leave
to
proceed
in
this
humble
appeal
to
your
Highness
,
to
set
before
you
some
abuses
offered
against
the
Laws
and
Liberties
of
the
people
now
under
your
protection
,
as
will
appear
in
that
which
follows
;
and
how
according
to
my
experience
the
people
of
God
have
always
suffered
for
the
testimony
of
Jesus
,
in
pressing
after
,
and
walking
in
their
liberty
in
him
,
which
those
that
knew
it
not
,
ever
did
,
and
still
do
oppose
.
And
that
upon
consideration
thereof
,
you
may
to
the
uttermost
of
your
endeavour
in
the
Lord
Jesus
,
stand
by
his
people
to
relieve
them
,
protect
,
support
and
defend
them
in
their
just
rights
and
priviledges
,
their
lives
,
liberties
and
estates
,
against
their
enemies
that
oppose
them
,
you
will
evermore
engage
the
hearts
of
the
free
born
people
of
the
Lord
,
in
love
to
serve
you
,
as
you
in
love
and
the
presence
of
God
shall
serve
them
▪
and
the
God
of
love
and
peace
▪
give
patience
to
all
his
people
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
for
what
he
in
his
own
time
shal
be
pleased
to
bring
forth
by
you
:
he
that
believes
,
shall
not
need
to
make
haste
.
CHAP.

.
The
sufferings
of
Christ
,
his
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
,
together
with
the
Authors
sufferings
,
briefly
discovered
and
presented
to
his
Highness
,
in
his
humble
Appeal
.
My
Lord
,
ACcording
to
the
Declaration
of
Scripture
,
we
find
,
that
whatsoever
of
truth
hath
at
any
time
been
held
forth
or
declared
by
any
to
whom
God
hath
made
himself
known
,
that
the
publishers
thereof
were
sufferers
therein
:
This
we
find
in
the
truth
it self
,
the
Lord
Jesus
;
for
declaring
himself
in
love
to
men
,
was
always
a
sufferer
by
men
,
who
understood
him
not
;
For
had
they
known
him
,
they
would
not
have
crucified
the
Lord
of
glory
:
but
they
knew
him
not
,
neither
would
they
own
his
life
,
and
power
to
be
of
God
,
but
rather
of
the
Devil
;
for
said
they
,
He
casteth
out
Devils
through
the
Prince
of
Devils
,
so
they
did
by
his
Prophets
that
were
before
him
,
some
they
stoned
,
and
put
to
death
;
others
they
persecuted
;
even
so
is
it
now
.
The
like
appeared
in
his
Apostles
,
who
after
their
conversion
,
that
they
were
called
to
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
what
sufferings
,
stripes
,
bonds
and
imprisonments
,
did
they
undergo
for
their
faithfulness
therein
?
and
thus
hath
it
been
ever
since
to
this
day
,
with
those
that
have
been
faithful
,
And
now
since
the
day
that
the
Lord
Jesus
had
made
himself
known
to
me
,
and
I
by
the
power
of
his
living
in
me
,
as
the
least
and
worst
of
all
Saints
,
have
been
made
to
go
forth
,
proclaim
,
publish
and
declare
freel●
to
the
world
and
sinners
,
the
unchangeable
love
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
according
to
that
measure
of
the
gift
given
me
by
him
:
I
have
uffered
with
Christ
,
in
exercising
the
gifts
of
Christ
,
which
according
to
the
manifestation
of
that
life
and
power
in
me
,
I
have
published
and
declared
,
not
for
price
nor
reward
of
men●
but
freely
,
and
in
love
to
the
Lord
Jesus
and
his
people
,
as
can
be
witnessed
by
the
people
of
those
parts
into
which
I
have
come
:
And
to
satisfie
any
that
shall
question
the
truth
of
what
I
hold
concerning
God
,
and
the
things
of
God
,
and
that
have
not
at
all
heard
me
speak
thereof
,
and
now
have
any
desire
to
know
my
principle
,
Devine
Teachings
,
in
which
there
are
three
together
;
the
other
,
Mans
Righteousness
examined
,
and
wherein
found
too
light
,
reproved
;
a
third

Saul
smitten

for
not
smiting
Amaleck
,
&c.
a
fourth
,
A
Man
Childe
born
,
or
God
man
fest
in
flesh
:
And
what
is
therein
written
,
is
the
same
that
I
still
am
in
judgement
,
and
for
which
I
have
hitherto
suffered
,
been
indicted
,
falsly
accused
,
slandered
reproached
and
reviled
,
and
for
several
Assizes
kept
bound
,
by
a
party
of
the
Ministers
of
England
,
and
enemies
of
Christ
,
who
live
by
the
gain
they
make
of
the
people
;
and
who
have
appeared
to
be
the
chief
instruments
and
agents
for
the
promoting
of
wars
and
divisions
amongst
men
,
to
advance
their
own
interests
;
with
whom
I
have
also
had
several
disputes
,
contentions
and
controversies
about
Religion
,
I
being
ingaged
by
them
,
who
sought
thereby
the
overthrow
both
of
me
and
the
things
of
God
revealed
in
me
;
but
they
not
prevailing
against
me
,
have
much
abused
me
,
and
several
times
charged
me
with
blasphemy
,
brought
me
before
Rulers
,
Counsels
,
and
Judges
of
Assizes
,
twice
at
Worcester
,
and
twice
at
Oxford
:
where
they
laid
their
several
accusations
of
blasphemy
(
as
they
said
)
against
me
;
but
could
never
be
proved
by
any
Law
to
be
so
:
whereupon
,
according
to
the
will
of
God
,
I
was
still
delivered
,
both
by
Law
and
Judges
,
the
Lord
enabling
me
to
speak
for
my self
;
and
also
working
upon
the
hearts
and
understandings
of
the
Judges
,
to
understand
the
answer
by
me
made
,
and
thereby
free
me
from
the
cruelty
of
my
enemies
,
though
still
found
guilty
by
the
Juries
,
who
themselves
understood
it
not
(
being
also
prompt
by
my
adversaries
,
as
several
witnesses
can
testifie
)
and
for
which
the
said
Juries
were
reproved
by
the
Judges
in
the
open
Court
:
The
particulars
of
which
tryals
I
shall
present
to
the
world
more
at
large
hereafter
.
Thus
for
my
faithfulness
to
the
truth
,
have
I
suffered
by
my
enemies
,
who
behind
the
backs
of
the
Judges
did
accuse
them
for
injustice
,
concerning
my
deliverance
,
when
according
to
law
and
justice
they
did
act
and

these
my
enemies
have
since

against

Author
.
My
Lord
,
VPon
the
ninteenth
day
of
March
last
past
,
being
the
Lords
day
,
I
(
through
the
desire
and
earnest
request
of
very
many
of
the
Town
and
Parish
of
Stow
on
the
Old
in
the
County
of
Glocester
,
and
by
several
other
of
the
neighbour
Parishes
and
Towns
neer
adjacent
)
was
at
Stow
,
where
I
was
to
preach
,
to
answer
the
desires
of
those
people
that
were
there
,
and
that
desired
me
to
come
,
where
and
at
which
time
I
went
to
the
Church
or
common
me
ting
place
in
the
morning
and
heard
one
Mr.
Elmes
then
Minister
of
Winchcombe
preach
who
there
delivering
something
contrary
to
truth
,
and
having
ended
his
Sermon
that
the
people
were
departing
,
I
with
his
consent
,
propounded
to
him
a
question
as
follows
.
Sir
,
Inasmuch
as
by
the
providence
of
God
and
the
civil
request
of
many
people
,
I
am
here
this
day
,
and
at
this
time
a
hearer
of
you
,
I
shall
,
if
I
may
in
love
be
admitted
in
the
afternoon
,
be
a
speaker
,
if
not
in
this
place
,
then
in
some
other
place
where
the
Lord
shall
direct
us
;
for
to
that
end
and
purpose
was
I
invited
to
Town
this
day
.
He
answered
,
that
he
himself
was
a
stranger
and
could
not
grant
it
,
but
said
that
he
thought
I
had
had
something
to
say
against
his
Doctrine
:
to
which
I
answered
,
I
had
;
and
so
shewing
him
his
error
,
I
declared
against
it
,
that
the
people
might
not
be
deceived
by
it
.
For
that
which
he
said
was
this
,
as
the
whole
Congregation
can
witness
that
God
feeding
his
people
Israel
as
a
Lamb
in
a
large
place
,
was
his
leaving
of
them
to
themselves
,
a
letting
them
loose
to
all
manner
of
sin
and
wickedness
to
run
head
long
into
hell
;
which
appearing
to
me
so
gross
an
error
,
I
could
not
let
it
pass
;
but
answered
,
that
God
feeding
his
people
Israel
as
a
Lamb
in
a
large
place
,
was
an
enlargement
of
the
manifestation
of
his
love
and
favour
to
them
in
Christ
Jesus
,
in
their
return
to
him
from
their
backsliding
condition
;
it
was
a
bringing
of
them
into
that
City
and
Sion
of
the
living
God
,
And
now
answer
being
thus
made
in
as
civil
a
manner
as
could
be
,
and
there
being
●resent
one
John
Crofty
and
Richard
Aylworth
,
Justices
of
the
Peace
for
that
County
,
who
hearing
this
my
speech
made
to
their
Minister
,
were
much
moved
and
enraged
in
their
spirits
against
me
,
as
appeared
by
their
rude
and
uncivil
carriage
at
that
time
towards
me
who
also
said
I
should
have
spoke
to
their
Minister
in
private
and
not
in
publike
;
to
which
I
answered
that
no
time
and
place
was
so
fit
as
then
and
there
,
the
people
being
present
;
for
truth
seeks
no
corners
;
whereupon
the
said
Justices
to
carry
on
their
design
of
a
further
proceeding
against
me
,
did
immediately
charge
the
Constables
with
me
,
commanding
them
to
bring
me
into
the
Ministers
house
,
where
they
and
Elmes
the
said
Minister
was
,
and
so
commanding
the
doors
to
be
shut
,
they
desired
I
would
answer
some
questions
which
they
should
propound
;
I
told
them
that
what
they
had
to
propound
in
love
and
for
edification
to
any
,
I
should
a●sw●r
them
;
which
was
as
follows
.
First
Question
;
Whether
I
did
believe
there
was
a
God
,
and
a
Devil-a
heaven
and
a
hell
?
I
answered
,
that
there
was
both
God
and
Devil
,
Heaven
and
Hell
,
Another
question
they
asked
me
,
whether
God
would
save
all
men
or
no
?
I
answered
,
that
what
the
Scripture
said
I
would
say
;
and
the
Scripture
said
of
God
,
that
he
will
have
all
men
to
be
saved
,
and
to
come
unto
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
;
for
there
is
one
God
and
one
Mediator
between
God
and
men
,
the
man
Christ
Jesus
,
who
gave
himself
a
ransom
for
all
,
to
be
testified
in
due
time
;
but
we
see
that
all
men
are
not
yet
saved
;
for
all
men
have
not
yet
this
testimony
,
or
do
not
yet
believe
,
for
he
that
believes
not
is
condemned
already
,
A
third
question
was
;
Whether
I
did
believe
there
were
three
persons
in
the
Trinity
?
The
Trinity
I
acknowledged
;
and
demanded
of
them
what
they
meant
by
person
,
whether
a
material
body
of
flesh
and
bones
or
not
?
To
which
they
did
not
answer
;
but
asked
me
again
,
if
there
were
not
three
distinct
beings
?
I
answered
,
And
thus
they
provoking
and
urging
me
with
many
questions
,
sought
to
ensare
me
,
as
it
is
written
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
did
by
Christ
,
laying
wait
for
him
,
and
seeking
to
catch
something
out
of
his
mouth
that
they
might
accuse
him
:
but
I
answered
as
the
Lord
did
enable
me
,
and
according
to
Scripture
.
And
now
I
having
thus
answered
to
their
questions
,
and
they
therein
receiving
nothing
against
me
,
told
me
that
I
had
formerly
spoken
things
that
were
blasphemy
,
and
they
would
question
me
for
that
;
I
told
them
again
that
nothing
of
blasphemy
could
ever
yet
be
proved
against
me
,
though
endeavoured
by
my
enemies
;
and
what
I
had
been
formerly
charged
with
as
blasphemy
;
I
have
already
answered
,
and
now
should
at
any
time
be
ready
in
love
to
answer
them
or
any
other
that
should
ask
me
a
reason
of
the
hope
that
is
in
me
;
and
the
practise
of
Christians
(
as
they
professed
themselves
to
be
)
I
told
them
was
not
to
lay
violent
hands
on
any
,
charging
Officers
with
them
,
for
speaking
of
the
things
of
God
in
a
way
contrary
to
their
judgement
or
apprehensions
;
and
so
to
make
a
man
an
offender
for
a
word
,
And
(
said
I
)
as
I
have
heard
your
Minister
,
so
both
him
and
you
if
you
please
may
in
like
manner
hear
me
;
and
if
I
shall
erre
in
any
thing
I
speak
,
then
you
have
your
liberty
to
shew
me
wherein
,
and
we
in
love
to
discourse
it
forth
before
the
people
,
which
thing
might
tend
much
to
the
glory
of
God
and
the
edification
one
of
another
;
but
this
they
refused
,
and
would
not
grant
,
but
told
me
that
unless
I
would
come
to
Church
in
the
afternoon
,
and
hear
their
Minister
without
objecting
any
thing
against
him
,
they
would
still
keep
me
as
a
Prisoner
;
to
which
I
answered
,
that
unless
I
might
speak
as
well
as
hear
,
having
an
opportunity
when
their
Minister
had
done
,
I
would
not
come
,
but
would
in
some
other
place
speak
what
God
should
make
known
to
me
:
and
I
further
said
,
that
the
Antichristian
Law
of
compelling
men
to
Church
,
was
not
now
in
force
,
but
men
were
to
have
their
liberty
therein
;
whereupon
they
gave
the
Constables
further
charge
of
me
,
commanding
me
not
to
speak
anywhere
within
their
liberty
;
and
they
not
to
suffer
any
people
to
come
neer
me
,
nor
I
to
come
to
them
for
that
day
,
and
in
the
time
of
their
afternoon
exercise
,
they
commanded
me
to
be
kept
close
prisoner
,
which
I
was
for
above
two
hours
,
as
will
further
appear
in
that
which
follows
;
all
which
proceedings
of
theirs
seems
much
contrary
to
what
your
Highness
hath
been
pleased
to
declare
in
your
36.
Article
in
the
43.
page
of
The
Common-wealths
Government
,
signed
by
your
Highness
Decemb.

that
none
should
be
compelled
by
penalty
or
otherwaies
to
the
publike
profession
held
forth
and
that
all
Laws
contrary
to
Christian
liberty
were
to
be
null
and
void
,
how
contrary
were
these
mens
actions
then
to
that
?
But
the
Constables
being
present
all
a
long
from
the
beginning
of
this
business
,
who
seeing
and
hearing
all
that
past
between
us
,
and
finding
no
evil
or
misdemeanor
on
my
part
committed
,
yet
were
alwayes
in
my
company
,
were
themselves
willing
to
hear
me
;
and
the
people
both
of
Town
&
Country
being
many
,
and
no
house
there
able
to
contain
them
,
they
before
one
of
the
clock
that
day
were
assembled
together
in
the
street
,
the
number
of
which
were
supposed
by
many
people
to
be
neer
one
thousand
,
to
whom
began
my
discourse
thus
.
Friends
,
The
afternoon
Sermon
being
not
yet
began
at
Church
,
and
because
we
will
not
be
idle
,
I
shall
in
the
mean
time
,
while
we
have
an
opportunity
,
speak
something
to
you
for
your
souls
edification
and
comfort
;
and
then
you
that
will
go
to
the
Church
may
;
and
this
I
shall
also
desire
of
you
while
you
are
here
,
that
nothing
may
be
said
or
done
on
your
parts
contrary
to
the
present
power
and
publike
peace
of
this
Nation
,
by
which
we
should
be
protected
in
this
our
Godly
exercise
;
and
you
that
are
Officers
,
take
notice
of
any
that
shall
in
this
our
meeting
make
any
disturbance
,
&c.
But
after
half
an
hours
space
that
I
had
proceeded
thus
in
speaking
to
the
people
,
Mr.
Crofts
and
Mr.
Aylworth
the
said
Justices
,
and
Elmes
the
said
Minister
,
with
their
horses
came
riding
in
amongst
the
people
in
a
tumultuous
manner
,
&
disturbed
the
whole
company
,
laid
violent
hands
on
me
,
commanding
the
people
to
assist
them
in
it
,
who
refused
,
but
rather
endeavoured
to
perswade
the
disturbers
of
the
peace
(
at
that
time
)
to
be
quiet
,
the
people
still
calling
upon
me
to
speak
on
,
and
they
would
still
hear
,
in
the
interim
two
mastive
Dogs
fall
on
the
Justices
horses
,
as
if
they
had
known
them
to
be
the
disturbers
of
the
people
.
Then
the
said
Justices
departed
a
little
from
the
company
;
but
Elmes
the
said
Minister
urged
them
again
not
to
depart
away
till
they
had
dismissed
our
meeting
;
whereupon
they
came
again
in
like
manner
as
before
;
and
while
a
Warrant
was
a
preparing
to
apprehend
me
,
they
with
some
others
would
not
let
me
go
on
in
my
former
discourse
,
but
would
engage
me
upon
a
dispute
,
taking
an
occasion
to
quarrel
with
me
for
preaching
with
my
Hat
on
my
head
,
though
in
the
street
,
and
said
it
was
contrary
to
the
rule
of
the
Gospel
.
I
demanded
of
them
what
was
meant
by
head
;
they
said
the
head
of
mans
body
;
to
which
I
answered
,
that
it
was
not
that
head
meant
in
the
Gospel
:
if
it
were
,
then
any
thing
on
the
head
were
a
covering
;
but
your
Minister
had
this
morning
a
Cap
on
his
head
,
when
he
both
preached
and
prayed
,
therefore
was
his
head
covered
;
and
no
greater
dishonour
could
I
at
this
time
give
to
my
head
then
to
keep
my
hat
off
,
having
no
cap
to
put
on
,
for
the
wind
blows
very
cold
;
besides
the
Sun
shines
full
in
my
face
;
but
that
this
is
not
the
head
there
meant
,
consider
;
for
it
is
written
that
the
head
of
every
man
is
Christ
,
Then
said
the
Justices
in
answer
to
this
:
O
horrible
blasphemy
!
what
,
will
you
say
that
Christ
is
the
head
of
every
man
,
and
that
he
may
be
covered
?
you
shall
answer
for
this
at
Glocester
;
and
so
they
presented
to
the
Constables
a
Warrant
to
apprehend
me
,
commanding
others
also
to
assist
them
(
but
were
constrained
to
do
it
themselves
,
and
then
carried
me
to
a
house
in
the
Town
,
where
they
kept
me
close
prisoner
for
the
space
of
above
two
hours
(
while
they
went
to
their
afternoon
exercise
)
suffering
none
to
come
at
me
,
neither
I
to
speak
to
any
so
much
as
through
the
window
;
after
that
I
had
liberty
to
go
to
my
Inn
until
the
next
day
;
and
then
by
the
Justices
Order
,
I
was
to
give
bayl
,
or
go
to
Jayl
.
The
next
day
being
come
,
I
appeared
before
John
Crofts
one
of
the
said
Justices
,
with
whom
there
were
assembled
several
Ministers
,
the
said
Elmes
,
with
one
Palmer
,
and
others
,
who
again
urged
many
questions
to
me
to
insnare
me
;
and
the
Justice
demanded
of
me
bail
;
but
I
desired
first
to
know
my
accusers
,
and
what
evil
I
had
done
.
He
answered
,
that
my
accusers
were
not
yet
known
,
neither
the
accusations
;
neither
was
I
to
know
them
till
I
come
to
tryal
.
But
,
said
he
,
we
have
sent
warrants
about
the
Countrey
to
summon
in
several
persons
whom
we
do
believe
will
be
your
accusers
;
and
that
we
are
shortly
to
have
a
meeting
at
Stow
,
where
the
persons
summoned
are
to
meet
us
;
after
which
time
if
you
send
to
me
,
you
shall
have
a
Copy
of
your
accusers
names
,
and
also
the
accusations
:
In
the
mean
time
(
said
Crofts
)
we
have
power
in
our selves
to
bind
you
to
appear
,
or
send
you
to
Goal
.
And
so
without
any
thing
being
laid
to
my
charge
,
either
by
themselves
or
others
,
they
according
to
their
own
wills
,
bound
me
to
appear
at
Glocester
Assizes
following
,
to
answer
to
what
was
not
yet
charged
against
me
:
and
according
as
the
Priests
and
Elders
desired
of
Festus
judgement
against
Paul
,
After
this
,
I
went
the
same
day
to
Stow
,
where
was
news
of
several
other
Ministers
of
the
same
Country
then
come
to
Town
to
enquire
concerning
me
,
some
of
which
were
my
former
accusers
at
Worcester
and
at
Oxford
:
And
I
being
again
desired
by
many
people
of
the
Town
and
Parish
of
Stow
,
went
again
into
the
street
,
and
there
preached
that
day
;
after
which
I
took
my
leave
of
the
people
,
rejoycing
that
the
Lord
for
carrying
on
so
good
a
work
,
had
again
chosen
me
as
an
instrument
in
his
hand
,
to
bear
witness
to
the
truth
,
and
suffer
shame
for
his
name
.
And
now
,
my
Lord
,
after
the
consideration
of
all
the
foregoing
discourse
,
let
it
please
your
Highness
to
do
what
to
your
own
wisdom
shall
seem
meet
,
that
your
practice
may
answer
your
title
,
even
to
protect
the
innocent
from
those
that
would
devour
them
;
for
there
are
many
wolves
in
lambs
clothing
,
who
under
the
pretence
of
standing
for
the
truth
,
and
the
faith
once
delivered
to
the
Saints
,
do
persecute
the
pure
appearances
of
God
in
his
people
;
having
a
form
of
godliness
,
deny
the
power
thereof
.
Wherefore
I
being
perswaded
of
your
Highness's
tender
care
towards
such
as
love
the
Lord
Jesus
in
sincerity
and
truth
,
was
occasioned
in
boldness
to
present
this
unto
your
Highness
,
to
rightly
inform
you
of
the
rigorous
and
illegal
proceedings
of
some
mennow
in
power
,
who
under
a
form
of
godliness
,
do
envy
the
pure
appearances
of
Jesus
Christ
in
spirit
and
truth
:
Wherefore
,
as
the
eye
of
Jesus
is
continually
toward
those
that
love
him
,
for
good
;
and
that
in
all
their
afflictions
he
is
afflicted
;
so
you
may
be
like
Jesus
Christ
,
in
tendering
those
that
are
precious
in
his
sight
,
that
so
the
beloved
of
the
Lord
may
lie
down
in
safety
.
And
lastly
,
as
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
to
advance
your
Highness
above
your
Brethren
,
for
their
protection
,
preservation
and
deliverance
,
as
he
did
Joseph
above
his
brethren
,
when
he
made
him
Lord
of
all
Pharaohs
house
,
and
Ruler
throughout
all
the
Land
of
Egypt
;
so
you
(
like
him
)
may
not
always
be
as
a
stranger
to
your
poor
,
grieved
and
oppressed
brethren
,
to
try
them
,
The
memory
of
the
just
shall
be
blessed
,
but
the
name
of
the
wicked
shall
rot
.
July
1.
1654.
So
waiting
upon
what
the
Lord
shall
be
pleased
to
direct
your
Highness
to
do
,
in
reference
to
these
particulars
,
I
remain
,
Yours
to
serve
you
in
the
Lord
,
Richard
Coppin

The
Authors
Tryal
at
Glocester
Assizes
,
before
Serjeant
Glyn
'
;
and
the
unjust
proceedings
of
two
Justices
,
John
Crofts
,
and
Richard
Aylworth
against
him
,
the
22
of
July
,
1654.
VPon
the
day
and
year
above
written
,
I
made
my
appearance
at
Glocester
Assizes
,
there
expecting
a
tryal
with
my
then
two
adversaries
Joh.
Crofts
&
Richard
Aylworth
,
two
Justices
of
the
Peace
for
that
County
,
who
themselves
were
there
with
many
Ministers
of
the
same
County
,
conferring
together
concerning
what
they
might
inform
against
me
,
having
nothing
before
;
for
nothing
justly
could
they
find
then
;
but
their
malice
being
great
,
the
Justices
with
the
said
Ministers
had
fram'd
a
scandalous
Paper
,
in
which
were
many
false
and
scandalous
informations
of
their
own
inventions
,
as
a
map
of
malice
,
which
they
presented
to
the
Court
,
to
which
was
onely
the
name
of
John
Crofts
,
and
to
which
they
themselves
durst
not
swear
,
neither
could
they
get
any
other
,
though
they
sought
much
for
it
;
which
particulars
were
as
follow
;
The
Information
.
-
FIrst
,
That
I
had
several
times
caused
to
come
together
to
hear
me
,
a
very
great
multitude
of
wicked
and
prophane
people
,
to
the
disturbance
of
the
peace
.
-
Secondly
,
That
I
disturbed
their
Minister
in
the
Church
,
and
that
some
of
my
company
should
call
out
to
have
the
Minister
pulled
down
,
saying
,
Touch
Coppin
who
dare
.
-
Thirdly
,
That
believers
need
not
pray
for
the
pardon
of
sin
.
-
Fourthly
,
That
there
was
no
heaven
nor
hell
,
but
belief
and
unbelief
.
-
Fifthly
,
That
I
should
call
to
the
people
to
stand
to
their
liberty
,
and
not
to
suffer
the
Justices
to
entrench
upon
it
.
-
Sixthly
,
That
I
would
not
obey
the
Justices
Authority
.
-
Seventhly
,
That
I
was
a
continual
breaker
of
the
peace
.
And
now
I
being
called
into
the
Court
on
Saturday
night
,
a
little
before
the
Court
rose
,
the
informations
against
me
were
read
;
but
nothing
of
it
being
proved
,
there
was
no
answer
required
of
me
;
and
the
Judge
being
removed
to
the
other
Court
,
my
accusers
would
have
been
my
Judges
,
and
also
witnesses
for
themselves
;
but
I
excepted
against
them
,
and
the
Court
reproved
them
.
Then
I
declared
against
their
informations
,
shewing
them
to
be
false
,
and
they
themselves
to
be
no
true
Christians
living
in
the
faith
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
so
long
as
they
did
inform
against
,
or
prosecute
any
for
their
judgements
;
whereupon
their
proceedings
upon
the
informations
were
stopt
.
Then
they
presented
to
the
Court
several
books
with
my
name
to
them
:
And
the
Court
demanded
of
me
,
if
I
would
own
them
.
To
which
I
answered
,
That
I
had
written
such
books
,
with
such
titles
;
but
whether
those
particular
books
they
produced
were
the
same
I
writ
,
I
knew
not
,
unless
I
heard
them
all
read
.
And
I
further
said
,
That
if
they
had
any
thing
against
me
,
for
breach
of
any
●aw
,
I
desired
them
to
proceed
according
to
the
Law
,
and
I
would
further
answer
them
.
Whereupon
the
Court
told
them
,
That
they
could
proceed
no
further
by
these
informations
;
but
if
they
had
any
thing
to
accuse
me
withal
,
they
were
to
proceed
by
way
of
indictment
.
But
my
accusers
not
yet
knowing
with
what
more
to
charge
me
,
desired
to
know
of
the
Court
if
they
might
not
indict
me
for
disturbing
their
Minister
in
the
Church
.
The
Court
answered
They
could
not
do
so
the
Minister
having
done
before
I
began
,
and
therefore
it
could
not
be
proved
any
disturbance
.
But
said
the
Court
,
If
you
can
pick
any
thing
forth
of
the
books
which
you
say
are
his
,
and
prove
it
to
be
blasphemy
,
you
may
indict
him
for
that
,
proving
first
that
he
saw
every
line
of
the
books
printed
:
But
at
this
my
accusers
were
much
daunted
,
knowing
not
how
to
prove
any
thing
against
me
,
and
so
could
not
find
any
thing
justly
to
accuse
me
.
Whereupon
they
desired
longer
time
,
until
Monday
;
which
time
the
Court
granted
them
.
And
now
Monday
being
come
,
I
was
again
called
into
the
Court
before
the
Judge
;
where
the
said
Justices
,
my
accusers
,
were
present
,
but
no
Minister
with
them
,
for
they
were
onely
the
setters
on
of
the
Justices
:
who
then
proceeded
as
before
,
and
finding
nothing
more
against
me
,
the
foresaid
informations
were
again
read
:
But
the
Judge
perceiving
them
to
be
in
malice
,
and
there
being
no
proof
to
them
,
he
seem'd
to
slight
them
,
saying
,
He
did
not
like
informations
in
such
a
nature
;
to
which
my
accusers
answering
not
;
I
then
desired
to
speak
my self
(
though
I
might
have
chused
,
there
being
nothing
proved
against
me
)
and
the
Judge
giving
me
leave
,
I
declared
unto
him
in
open
Court
the
substance
of
the
whole
business
acted
against
me
by
the
said
Justices
at
Stow
,
as
is
before
written
at
large
;
and
thereby
proved
my
accusers
themselves
to
be
guilty
of
what
they
informed
against
me
;
and
for
the
proof
of
which
I
would
have
produced
several
witnesses
that
were
then
present
▪
But
the
Judge
answered
,
he
was
already
satisfied
in
what
I
had
said
,
that
the
wrong
was
done
to
me
,
and
therefore
desired
no
further
witness
.
Then
my
accusers
again
urged
the
books
.
To
which
I
answered
as
before
,
naming
the
several
titles
of
the
books
I
had
written
.
Out
of
which
books
my
accusers
had
pick'd
here
and
there
some
part
of
some
particular
sentences
,
which
they
preferred
to
the
Judge
to
examine
me
upon
.
But
the
Judge
,
after
he
had
read
it
,
told
them
,
that
they
had
given
him
that
which
was
non-sense
in
taking
part
of
a
sentence
,
and
not
the
whole
;
for
in
so
doing
(
said
he
)
you
may
wrong
the
sense
of
any
mans
words
;
and
you
are
not
to
do
so
;
but
you
are
to
take
the
words
before
,
and
the
words
after
,
and
then
the
one
might
explain
the
other
,
as
said
the
Judge
.
To
which
my
accusers
were
silent
:
so
nothing
at
all
being
proved
against
me
,
the
Judge
asked
them
,
what
my
life
and
conversation
was
;
against
which
they
also
had
nothing
to
say
.
Then
they
gave
the
Judge
a
note
of
my
former
accusations
at
Oxford
,
declaring
that
I
had
since
spoke
the
same
things
;
and
so
importuned
the
Judge
to
keep
me
bound
till
the
next
Assizes
.
But
the
Judge
told
them
,
he
could
do
no
such
thing
,
unless
they
could
prove
that
I
had
transgressed
the
Law
:
and
,
said
he
,
for
that
which
ye
reckoned
an
offence
already
committed
by
him
,
which
for
my
part
I
cannot
,
you
have
already
punished
him
contrary
to
the
Law
,
in
keeping
him
bound
till
now
.
And
,
said
the
Judge
,
as
touching
the
accusations
at
Oxford
,
I
understand
he
there
answered
them
before
my
brother
Green
,
then
Judge
of
that
Assize
,
and
I
am
not
to
question
him
any
more
upon
that
;
therefore
unless
you
have
any
thing
against
him
,
he
ought
to
be
freed
.
But
nothing
else
could
they
find
,
though
they
sought
and
tryed
every
way
for
it
,
to
the
uttermost
of
their
endeavours
.
Whereupon
I
was
freed
,
to
the
shame
of
my
enemies
.
And
now
what
an
advantage
might
I
take
against
those
men
,
for
the
wrong
done
unto
me
by
them
,
if
I
would
proceed
according
to
the
Law
?
but
my
principles
lead
me
to
no
such
thing
,
as
to
seek
revenge
against
any
man
,
but
freely
to
forgive
my
enemies
;
and
to
love
them
which
hate
me
,
as
Christ
in
me
gives
me
Commandment
;
and
in
so
doing
,
though
in
many
things
I
suffer
,
yet
in
God
I
find
rest
for
my
soul
.
