deceive_v and_o abuse_v to_o serve_v to_o other_o end_n object_n that_o they_o open_o profess_v to_o manage_v their_o war_n for_o king_n and_o parliament_n not_o against_o his_o person_n and_o

a_o body_n by_o covenant_n be_v unlawful_a because_o government_n mere_o consist_v in_o have_v no_o contract_n of_o the_o people_n act_v of_o themselves_o and_o likewise_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o

a_o king_n by_o subject_n as_o i_o shall_v more_o clear_o demonstrate_v in_o due_a place_n but_o in_o this_o mr._n baxter_n grant_v as_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a to_o make_v it_o defensive_a necessary_a and_o of_o mere_a necessity_n on_o the_o king_n part_n it_o be_v offensive_a against_o delinquent_a subject_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v it_o be_v a_o war_n on_o the_o parliament_n part_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o king_n subject_n and_o the_o king_n must_v be_v unconcern_v in_o it_o sit_z by_z and_o be_v idle_a withdraw_v all_o protection_n and_o become_v immediate_o out_o of_o possession_n for_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o be_v of_o a_o king_n when_o a_o arm_a power_n be_v act_v and_o the_o king_n sedentary_a and_o not_o resist_v in_o a_o kingdom_n a_o war_n can_v be_v against_o any_o party_n and_o not_o against_o the_o king_n for_o it_o deprive_v the_o king_n of_o his_o govern_n power_n consider_v but_o what_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o war_n take_v up_o by_o the_o people_n be_v for_o his_o senate_n signify_v nothing_o he_o shall_v find_v the_o whole_a be_v but_o king_n and_o people_n first_o when_o it_o once_o become_v powerful_a it_o gain_v from_o its_o

justice_n to_o fix_v it_o to_o and_o we_o see_v in_o this_o every_o thing_n that_o prevail_v never_o dispute_v right_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o whole_a be_v unlawful_a and_o i_o present_v this_o to_o mr._n baxter_n reason_n as_o it_o be_v visible_a to_o his_o observation_n to_o show_v he_o that_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o war_n can_v be_v wicked_a but_o can_v find_v a_o justice_n to_o govern_v it_o and_o his_o first_o of_o rebel_n with_o caution_n and_o condition_n be_v a_o mere_a fiction_n his_o next_o be_v a_o narrative_a only_o object_n in_o that_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o army_n be_v quite_o alter_v not_o only_o by_o a_o new_a model_n but_o by_o a_o intestine_a jesuitical_a corrupt_a of_o multitude_n of_o soldier_n before_o this_o odious_a fact_n can_v be_v do_v and_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o corrupt_a part_n of_o the_o army_n though_o the_o few_o do_v so_o excel_v the_o rest_n in_o industry_n and_o activity_n that_o thereby_o they_o hinder_v their_o opposition_n and_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o jesuited_a party_n that_o afterward_o so_o many_o of_o they_o turn_v leveller_n do_v draw_v unto_o they_o the_o anabaptist_n libertine_n and_o other_o sect_n upon_o a_o conjunction_n of_o interest_n and_o by_o many_o sly_a pretence_n especial_o tie_v all_o together_o by_o the_o predicated_a liberty_n for_o all_o religion_n
