They have hearts to work for us, but when we speak to them of what is fit to be done, their answer is, but is England in a fit disposition to receive such a thing as that is? so that the truth is, although you are ready to cry out of your Governors, you say, they have power in their hands, why do they not reform things? yet the guilt in great part devolves upon the people, they are not in a fit disposition to receive such reformation: therefore God threateneth the children, the people here.

Again further, It may be it is from you that the Governors that are evil are so much encouraged and abetted in that which is evil: though you do it not, yet you so much encourage them as the guilt redounds upon you.
Again further, It may be it is from you that the Governours that are evil are so much incouraged and abetted in that which is evill: though you doe it not, yet you so much incourage them as the guilt redounds upon you.
Yea lastly, If you do but obey them in any thing that is evil, in doing of that, the guilt devolveth upon you, for you should not do it, but rather obey God then man.
