the_o cause_n of_o your_o undertake_n when_o as_o you_o have_v some_o other_o design_n to_o promote_v will_v you_o bring_v in_o a_o strange_a nation_n even_o tyrant_n and_o their_o adherent_n to_o devour_v the_o land_n and_o even_o to_o destroy_v yourselves_o and_o your_o city_n will_v you_o set_v up_o a_o oppress_a monarchy_n which_o the_o land_n have_v once_o spew_v forth_o these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v doubt_v that_o if_o your_o design_n do_v prevail_v the_o fruit_n of_o your_o work_n will_v tend_v thereunto_o for_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o faithful_a teacher_n of_o god_n word_n and_o the_o faithful_a ministry_n desire_v not_o your_o help_n to_o prosecute_v their_o cause_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o they_o trust_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v maintain_v countenance_v and_o encourage_v by_o he_o alone_o who_o be_v sufficient_a in_o that_o cause_n though_o it_o be_v true_a the_o false_a minister_n and_o the_o antichristian_a teacher_n through_o all_o christendom_n for_o many_o generation_n they_o have_v seek_v unto_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n to_o set_v they_o up_o to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v they_o and_o their_o gospel_n and_o false_a church_n thus_o it_o be_v through_o the_o pope_n dominion_n and_o among_o some_o protestant_n also_o they_o cry_v unto_o the_o magistrate_n unto_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n for_o the_o make_v cruel_a law_n to_o defend_v they_o and_o to_o the_o rude_a world_n they_o cry_v help_v we_o and_o save_v we_o and_o defend_v we_o by_o fight_v with_o carnal_a weapon_n for_o heresy_n and_o error_n and_o such_o like_a and_o they_o stand_v in_o their_o ministry_n in_o their_o call_n to_o it_o and_o maintenance_n of_o it_o and_o defence_n in_o it_o by_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n and_o their_o church_n be_v uphold_v thereby_o also_o but_o this_o be_v but_o antichrist_n way_n and_o these_o be_v antichrist_n minister_n and_o his_o false_a church_n hereby_o be_v defend_v in_o the_o world_n and_o this_o show_v that_o the_o weapon_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v want_v by_o they_o which_o the_o apostle_n have_v and_o it_o be_v very_o doubtful_a o_o you_o apprentice_n of_o london_n that_o your_o minister_n have_v pray_v you_o and_o preach_v you_o into_o such_o a_o work_n as_o that_o you_o shall_v stand_v up_o to_o maintain_v they_o and_o fight_v for_o they_o and_o their_o church_n against_o such_o that_o do_v oppose_v they_o but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o if_o their_o defence_n be_v not_o in_o another_o hand_n then_o in_o you_o they_o be_v like_a to_o come_v to_o perpetual_a ruin_n and_o their_o gospel_n and_o their_o teach_v and_o their_o sacrament_n and_o their_o church_n can_v stand_v if_o they_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n help_v more_o than_o you_o and_o as_o for_o the_o university_n which_o you_o contend_v for_o alas_o many_o of_o you_o be_v ignorant_a concern_v they_o and_o what_o abomination_n be_v commit_v among_o they_o oh_o if_o you_o know_v but_o the_o profaneness_n and_o ungodliness_n and_o the_o ill_a education_n that_o be_v among_o they_o it_o will_v turn_v your_o zeal_n for_o they_o backward_o and_o it_o be_v not_o from_o humane_a study_n that_o the_o faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n come_v but_o who_o be_v so_o indeed_o be_v make_v so_o by_o the_o eternal_a gift_n of_o god_n eternal_a spirit_n both_o in_o this_o age_n and_o in_o age_n past_a so_o that_o o_o you_o prentice_n be_v still_o be_v still_o and_o do_v not_o ruin_v yourselves_o and_o your_o city_n by_o rage_n and_o fury_n and_o disorder_n upon_o such_o a_o proceed_n for_o your_o ground_n of_o quarrel_n be_v not_o perfect_o good_a nor_o your_o endeavour_n in_o the_o cause_n aforesaid_a well_o accept_v of_o the_o lord_n but_o if_o your_o quarrel_n be_v upon_o the_o account_n or_o about_o the_o matter_n of_o church_n and_o ministry_n leave_v that_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o your_o minister_n that_o they_o may_v defend_v themselves_o their_o church_n and_o ordinance_n and_o worship_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o they_o have_v it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o weapon_n of_o ministry_n church_n and_o gospel-warfare_n and_o not_o carnal_a weapon_n nor_o the_o multitude_n of_o a_o host_n of_o man_n let_v your_o minister_n come_v forth_o in_o the_o best_a authority_n of_o spirit_n that_o they_o have_v and_o plead_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o worship_n and_o gospel_n and_o ministry_n like_o christian_n and_o not_o like_o jew_n and_o heathen_n for_o they_o use_v carnal_a weapon_n kill_v and_o murder_v about_o church_n and_o religion_n that_o be_v the_o papist_n practice_n and_o not_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n so_o that_o you_o apprentice_n see_v you_o state_n your_o quarrel_n against_o the_o army_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o church_n and_o ministry_n my_o advice_n be_v to_o you_o proceed_v no_o further_o upon_o that_o ground_n but_o give_v your_o trust_n to_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o maintain_n of_o all_o thing_n relate_v to_o his_o own_o kingdom_n but_o the_o cry_n be_v those_o sectary_n those_o sectary_n away_o with_o they_o your_o trouble_n seem_v to_o be_v concern_v they_o lest_o they_o prevail_v but_o wherefore_o be_v you_o trouble_v in_o this_o matter_n like_o as_o if_o you_o know_v not_o that_o what_o the_o lord_n purpose_v must_v come_v to_o pass_v who_o be_v of_o god_n will_v stand_v this_o you_o need_v not_o doubt_n and_o who_o be_v not_o will_v come_v to_o nought_o and_o its_o vain_a for_o mortal_a man_n to_o oppose_v the_o lord_n purpose_n but_o this_o be_v the_o cry_n in_o day_n past_a how_o do_v the_o bishop_n and_o prelate_n in_o their_o day_n cry_v against_o the_o non-conformists'_a as_o heretic_n and_o such_o like_a even_o as_o the_o minister_n now_o cry_v against_o sectary_n but_o consider_v how_o do_v the_o bishop_n proceed_v but_o in_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n themselves_o of_o raise_v war_n against_o the_o then_o non-conformists'_a think_v thereby_o to_o have_v smite_v they_o all_o but_o you_o know_v it_o prove_v otherwise_o and_o as_o they_o think_v to_o do_v unto_o other_o so_o be_v it_o do_v unto_o they_o which_o thing_n may_v be_v a_o example_n to_o you_o for_o as_o they_o think_v to_o have_v destroy_v the_o then_o call_v puritan_n in_o like_a manner_n be_v themselves_o destroy_v and_o this_o may_v possible_o fall_v upon_o you_o therefore_o consider_v for_o i_o tell_v you_o as_o a_o equal_a man_n between_o you_o and_o they_o that_o there_o be_v more_o sincerity_n towards_o god_n and_o a_o fear_n of_o his_o name_n in_o some_o of_o they_o call_v sectarian_n then_o there_o be_v among_o you_o and_o your_o minister_n though_o i_o do_v not_o here_o justify_v the_o sectarian_n so_o call_v in_o all_o thing_n neither_o do_v i_o in_o every_o thing_n condemn_v your_o minister_n but_o this_o i_o say_v and_o do_v know_v if_o that_o you_o and_o your_o minister_n raise_v a_o war_n against_o those_o call_v sectarian_n the_o effect_n thereof_o will_v prove_v your_o own_o sorrow_n and_o their_o advantage_n so_o this_o be_v my_o advice_n to_o you_o rest_n and_o be_v still_o and_o that_o will_v prove_v your_o own_o peace_n and_o happiness_n and_o as_o for_o the_o poor_a soldier_n which_o you_o so_o much_o hate_n in_o the_o city_n alas_o you_o may_v conceive_v their_o advantage_n be_v but_o small_a which_o they_o have_v for_o their_o suffering_n and_o tribulation_n who_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o cry_v out_o of_o their_o distress_n and_o want_n of_o pay_n than_o you_o have_v of_o want_n of_o trading_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v yet_o happen_v to_o you_o only_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a power_n which_o carry_v they_o on_o in_o opposition_n to_o you_o though_o as_o for_o the_o person_n themselves_o they_o be_v many_o of_o they_o profane_a and_o sinful_a as_o other_o yet_o there_o have_v be_v a_o power_n and_o presence_n sometime_o go_v along_o with_o bad_a instrument_n therefore_o take_v heed_n and_o beware_v lest_o you_o oppose_v and_o gainsay_v the_o work_n and_o power_n of_o god_n which_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o bring_v to_o pass_v in_o this_o his_o day_n who_o be_v set_v up_o his_o kingdom_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o tribulation_n that_o come_v upon_o man_n the_o second_o particular_a humble_o desire_v by_o you_o be_v the_o freedom_n and_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n as_o be_v the_o great_a charter_n of_o the_o people_n which_o you_o account_v very_o dear_a unto_o you_o and_o by_o which_o you_o hope_v to_o see_v you_o say_v a_o settlment_n in_o church_n and_o state_n and_o you_o humble_o conceive_v that_o to_o be_v the_o probable_a mean_n to_o establish_v the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n reform_v the_o law_n secure_v the_o liberty_n promote_v learning_n &_o e._n answ_n now_o
