Wherefore where as in the conclusion of all, the Doctor desires those who will run the Hazard of this resistance; first to set their consciences before the tribunal of God, and consider whether they will excuse them there when they have shed blood, to say, we supposed our Prince would change Religion, overthrow liberties.

No Doctor, We can comfortably, and will freely and really set our conscience before Gods tribunal in this case, but we will not make that our plea, but we will stand thus before the Lord.

Lord thou who art the searcher of our hearts, and our Judge, thou knowest we aimed at no hurt to our King, we desired to live in peace, we according to our solemn vow and Protestation, have only endeavoured to deliver our Kingdom & Parliament from the rage of ungodly, and violent bloody men, to bring forth the wicked unto justice, to preserve what thy Majesty, what the law of nature, and the Law of the Land hath made our own. If thou wilt please to call us to suffer for thy Name, we hope we shall be ready; but because thou tellest us that it is not the part of a Christian but of an Infidel, not to provide for his family, therefore we have not submitted our selves, wives and children to the rage of these bloody men: for the substance of what we have done, it hath been in thy Name, that we may be faithful to the King, Kingdom, Parliament, and to posterity. What failings thou hast seen in the managing of it, Lord pardon to us for Christ his sake.
