At Gen. I had thought there would have appeared in him that calls himself a minister of the Gospel, more meekness & obedience to authority, not out-facing authority: & it is not well done of him. My Lord ⟨p. 13⟩I humbly beg, that having had thus much of your patience, and persuasion by arguments, and all means used to him, and nothing will prevail; that, my Lord, you will now be pleased to give your judgement according to the rules that the law appoints you, upon him that refuseth to plead.
