be_v well_o that_o david_n think_v to_o build_v the_o temple_n yet_o he_o shall_v not_o build_v it_o i_o say_v so_o too_o and_o never_o say_v the_o contrary_a i_o acknowledge_v god_n say_v it_o be_v well_o that_o david_n think_v to_o build_v he_o a_o house_n but_o yet_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o i_o deny_v not_o that_o but_o this_o i_o deny_v that_o ever_o god_n say_v to_o the_o parliament_n it_o be_v well_o in_o they_o to_o think_v to_o reform_v but_o yet_o they_o must_v not_o do_v it_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o this_o at_o large_a in_o my_o animadversion_n on_o your_o sermon_n wherefore_o i_o forbear_v it_o now_o and_o whereas_o you_o charge_v i_o that_o the_o scripture_n can_v be_v quiet_a for_o i_o i_o answer_v i_o meddle_v not_o with_o the_o scripture_n but_o only_o with_o your_o

lose_v a_o party_n reply_n yea_o but_o how_o if_o god_n be_v in_o that_o party_n what_o then_o sir_n be_v it_o not_o better_o keep_v a_o little_a poor_a despise_a party_n that_o have_v god_n in_o it_o than_o a_o great_a and_o numerous_a party_n without_o god_n again_o do_v you_o preach_v before_o the_o parliament_n to_o make_v or_o cast_v off_o party_n do_v this_o appertain_v to_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o father_n reader_n those_o man_n be_v so_o overbusy_a in_o make_v and_o mar_v party_n that_o i_o much_o fear_v they_o will_v in_o the_o end_n throw_v the_o kingdom_n into_o more_o misery_n and_o blood_n than_o their_o predecessor_n have_v do_v answer_n there_o be_v no_o less_o than_o five_o mistake_n which_o run_v through_o the_o veâ—nes_o of_o this_o reply_n 1._o that_o that_o party_n which_o oppose_v presbyterial_a government_n be_v the_o peculiar_a people_n who_o have_v god_n among_o they_o mistake_v 2._o that_o the_o presbyterian_a party_n though_o great_a and_o numerous_a mistake_v have_v not_o god_n on_o their_o side_n but_o be_v still_o without_o god_n 3._o that_o i_o preach_v before_o the_o parliament_n to_o make_v party_n mistake_n whereas_o the_o lord_n know_v i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o preach_v a_o word_n of_o all_o this_o to_o which_o you_o reply_v until_o i_o hear_v the_o many_o falsehood_n that_o you_o so_o confident_o deliver_v 4._o that_o my_o preach_n do_v not_o appertain_v to_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o father_n mistake_n because_o as_o you_o say_v i_o preach_v to_o make_v party_n but_o you_o must_v go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o gospel-light_n and_o preach_v of_o christ_n though_o the_o scope_n and_o intendment_n of_o your_o sermon_n be_v to_o make_v a_o party_n what_o else_o do_v you_o intend_v in_o your_o last_o address_n to_o the_o parliament_n after_o you_o desire_v a_o toleration_n to_o assemble_v together_o when_o and_o where_o and_o how_o you_o list_v if_o the_o parliament_n will_v grant_v you_o this_o liberty_n how_o do_v you_o as_o the_o head_n of_o a_o party_n assure_v the_o parliament_n in_o these_o word_n we_o will_v be_v willing_o content_v to_o do_v and_o suffer_v all_o thing_n with_o you_o
