11. Blind mens eyes, so that they cannot see their misery, by reason of the falsities, and flatteries, and treacheries which is used against Scotland, Ireland, and England, nay .2. these men rather than they will be subject to the yoke of Christ they will be slaves to men, any men, yea the worst of men, and that to their vilest lusts rather than yield to the way of Christ, and doth not this show a desperate spirit against God?

What a base sordid spirit is there now among us? that rather than men will be contented to suffer a little trouble, will rather endure perpetual enslavery by vile men.
A most treacherous spirit appears in the most, for their own private gain and advantages, when men shall betray Kingdoms, overthrow States, and deceive the trust and confidence that is put in them, undermine and destroy Parliaments, doth not this manifest a most vile spirit in the people of this Kingdom? Heretofore the rascality of the people could not be brought to fight against the Scots, yet now there can be found a Gentry to fight against the Parliament.
