           are
           all
           we
           can

           way
           phancy

           our

           I.
           The
           first
           is
           ,
           That
           perhaps
           it
           may
           be
           groundlesse
           ,
           because
           we
           have
           not
           therein
           set
           down
           the
           expresse
           words
           ,
           either
           of
           those
           Protections
           by
           which
           we
           might
           securely
           have
           expected
           an
           Indempnity
           ,
           or
           of
           those
           Orders
           by
           which
           we
           suffered
           .
        
         
           To
           which
           wee
           answer
           ,
           That
           the
           reason
           hereof
           was
           partly
           to
           avoid
           tediousnesse
           ,
           and
           therefore
           we
           gave
           onely
           some
           short
           hints
           in
           the
           margent
           .
           And
           partly
           because
           (
           being
           dispersed
           )
           wee
           could
           not
           possibly
           have
           the
           true
           Copies
           of
           all
           of
           them
           by
           us
           .
           And
           to
           publish
           any
           thing
           that
           was
           but
           supposititious
           ,
           could
           not

           a
           little
           have
           indulged

           least
           the

           have
           (
           perhaps
           )
           extorted
           from

           some

           persecuted

           them

           who
           lately
           pleaded

           But
           indeed
           the
           Covenant
           was
           not
           the
           true
           cause
           but
           the
           pretence

           for
           our

           newly
           invented
           Mystery

           as
           appeares
           by
           severall
           writs
           issued
           out

           The
           thing
           was
           absolutely
           determined
           by
           a
           perentptory
           decree

           end
           the
           Old
           one
           must
           be
           removed

           at
           least
           so
           much
           of
           it
           ,
           for
           the
           present
           ,
           as
           might
           hinder
           this
           great
           designe

           onely
           some
           meanes
           and
           plausible
           pretences
           were
           yet
           wanting
           .
        
         
           The
           first
           that
           was
           attempted
           was
           to

           all

           ten
           dayes

           But
           then
           they
           were
           so
           far
           to
           seek
           for
           reason
           of
           Ejection

           writ

           Their
           tongues
           thereby
           testifying
           their
           mindes

           though
           perhaps
           out
           of
           incogitancy
           ,
           which
           are
           so
           furiously
           set
           upon
           their
           great
           worke
           of
           Reformation
           as
           to

             Actions

           Whether
           they

           we
           know
           not
           ;
           but
           they
           had
           very
           good
           reason
           to
           be
           ashamed
           of
           the
           Act
           ,
           being
           so
           different

           all
           shew
           of
           Justice
