Shall I speak to the Sea thereof,1 wherein of late I was placed almost, and not fully by the space of iij. years? But what may I say to it, being (as I hear say I am) deposed and expulsed by judgement as an unjust usurper of that room. O judgement, judgement. Can this be just judgement to condemn the chief minister of gods word, the pastor and bishop of the diocese, and never bring him into judgement, that he might have heard what crimes were laid to his charge, nor never suffer him to have any place or time to answer for himself? Thinkest thou that hereafter when true Justice shall have place, this judgement can ever be allowed either of God or of man? Well, as for the cause and whole matter of my deposition, & the spoil of my goods which thou possessest yet, I refer it unto ⟨p. 1774⟩God which is a just judge: and I beseech God, if it be his pleasure, that that which is but my personal wrong, be not laid to thy charge in the latter day, this only can I pray for.
Shall I speake to the Sea thereof,1 wherein of late I was placed almost, and not fully by the space of iij. yeres? But what may I say to it, being (as I heare say I am) deposed and expulsed by iudgement as an vniust vsurper of that roume. O iudgement, iudgement. Can this bee iust iudgement to condemne the chiefe minister of gods word, the pastour and bishop of the dioces, and neuer bring him into iudgement, that hee might haue heard what crymes were layd to his charge, nor neuer suffer him to haue any place or tyme to aunswer for himselfe? Thinkest thou that hereafter when true Iustice shall haue place, thys iudgement can euer be allowed either of God or of man? Well, as for the cause and whole matter of my deposition, & the spoil of my goods which thou possessest yet, I referre it vnto ⟨p. 1774⟩God which is a iust iudge: and I besech God, if it be his pleasure, that that which is but my personall wrong, bee not layd to thy charge in the latter daye, this onely can I pray for.
