and_o by_o second_o i_o will_v humble_o desire_v that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n here_o confer_v with_o their_o friend_n of_o new_a england_n will_v join_v together_o and_o make_v it_o their_o joint_a desire_n to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n that_o they_o will_v unite_v the_o english_a plantation_n which_o be_v on_o the_o continent_n from_o cape_n florida_n in_o the_o south_n to_o cape_n saint_n george_n in_o the_o north_n viz._n carolina_n virginia_n mary-land_n albion_n new_a england_n new_a plymouth_n and_o the_o plantation_n to_o the_o eastward_a of_o merimack_n river_n and_o

to_o this_o common_a wealth_n of_o england_n but_o which_o be_v most_o of_o all_o it_o will_v much_o enlarge_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o propagate_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o natve_v all_o

but_o now_o be_v the_o commonwealth_n be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o a_o other_o administration_n who_o i_o hope_v true_o fear_v god_n which_o power_n find_v the_o pretend_a end_n to_o be_v falsify_v

law_n of_o christ_n enforce_v none_o to_o conform_v to_o one_o another_o judgement_n by_o any_o coercive_a power_n in_o man_n hand_n but_o as_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n by_o his_o own_o spirit_n to_o act_v in_o such_o as_o belong_v unto_o he_o or_o permit_v the_o spirit_n of_o error_n to_o persuade_v other_o to_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v their_o

the_o liberty_n of_o the_o law_n be_v equal_o alike_o to_o all_o and_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n offer_v to_o all_o to_o i_o it_o appear_v in_o my_o slender_a judgement_n equitable_a and_o

the_o country_n and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v his_o patent_n void_a and_o liberty_n may_v well_o be_v give_v to_o any_o either_o of_o old_a or_o new_a england_n to_o come_v into_o that_o part_n
