out of any disloyal affection or undutiful thought towards his Matie of great Britain, my dread Sovereign, for whom my hearty prayer shall be, day & night, that his soul may be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord his God, & that the souls of his enemies may be slung out, as out of the middle of a sling. And that the Lord will clothe his enemies with shame, but upon himself let his crown flourish. 2. nor out of any Schismatical propension to forsake the Church assembles of England,1 as if I thought there were no true Churches of Christ in the land, as the manner of some is. 3. nor out of idleness, or weariness of the Lords plough, nor. 4. out of love of ease, that I might pamper the flesh. 5. nor out of any unrighteous aim to defraud any one by any means. 6. nor as one ashamed of the Gospel, to avoid witness bearing to the trueth. 7. nor for any trouble I was in, or feared by the civill Magistrate, before whom I was never questioned, in all my life, except for the good & pious business about redeeming impropriations, wherein our righteous dealing was publicly cleared even by his Maties Attorney general, who prosecuted against us.
