A76085	The second part of that book call'd Independency not Gods ordinance: or the post-script, discovering the uncharitable dealing of the Independents towards their Christian brethren, with the jugglings of many of their pastors and ministers, to the misleading of the poor people to the detriment of their own souls, and the hurt both of church and state, with the danger of novelties in religion; proving that Independency, is one of the most dangerous sects, that ever appeared in the world, since mortality inhabited the earth. In the which also there is a satisfactory answer given to the principall cavils of him that writ that railing pamphlet, stil'd The falshood of Mr Will. Prynnes Triumphing in the antiquity of popish princes and parliaments. With Doctor Bastvvicks just defence against some calumnies in way of preface. / By John Bastvvick, Dr in Physick.; Independency not Gods ordinance.

than_o it_o agree_v with_o their_o tenant_n and_o humour_n and_o howsoever_o public_o they_o seem_v to_o say_v something_o in_o defence_n of_o it_o yet_o private_o and_o upon_o all_o occasion_n they_o slight_v it_o yea_o and_o bid_v defiance_n to_o it_o as_o all_o their_o rail_a pamphlet_n and_o word_n &_o deed_n proclaim_v and_o make_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o magistrate_n when_o they_o exercise_v it_o for_o the_o suppress_n of_o novelty_n a_o mere_a tyranny_n and_o persecution_n as_o many_o can_v witness_v if_o they_o will_v take_v the_o office_n of_o informer_n upon_o they_o for_o they_o be_v not_o the_o man_n they_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o parliament_n for_o than_o they_o seem_v high_o to_o magnify_v the_o authority_n and_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o appeal_v unto_o it_o and_o do_v very_o good_a service_n in_o promote_a the_o public_a good_a but_o now_o they_o say_v they_o be_v afraid_a it_o will_v prove_v but_o a_o arbitrary_a government_n

they_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v a_o presbytery_n which_o to_o the_o poor_a saint_n they_o be_v afraid_a will_v prove_v more_o tyrannical_a than_o the_o government_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o therefore_o now_o many_o of_o the_o independent_o that_o be_v very_o zealous_a at_o the_o first_o in_o the_o quarrel_n of_o the_o parliament_n as_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o be_v be_v very_o

profess_v that_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o force_v man_n to_o fight_v and_o that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o fight_v for_o religion_n i_o conceive_v they_o mean_v any_o religion_n but_o their_o own_o

the_o day_n and_o such_o like_a stuff_n they_o vent_v in_o every_o corner_n to_o the_o deter_v of_o many_o from_o their_o duty_n which_o they_o be_v bind_v unto_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n nature_n and_o all_o nation_n and_o for_o which_o there_o be_v many_o precedent_n in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o many_o fearful_a threat_n and_o judgement_n denounce_v against_o such_o as_o desert_v their_o

aught_o i_o know_v all_o christian_a magistrate_n have_v the_o same_o authority_n still_o under_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o have_v under_o the_o law_n and_o true_o to_o my_o poor_a understanding_n
