A83525	Edwards, Thomas, 1599-1647,	To the High Court of Parliament. A dilemma, from a parallel. Humbly presented. Published according to order.	1646		.xml	application/xml	4150	130	56	This all men are bound to beleeve , though they see the Protestant Religion , and the Professors thereof miserably reproached , and in danger of being destroyed by a vitious and malignant party of Brownists , Anabaptists , and other Sectaries , ( the principall Ring-leaders of whom , have too great a power , even with some Members in both our Houses of Parliament ) our Authority despised , and as much as in them lies , taken from us , and reviled in Pulpits and presses by persons immediately in their protection , and recommendation . They may read in Ecclesiasticall Stories , what hath befallen Princes for not serving the Lord in feare , and kissing his Sonne ; and they see before their eyes the many evills that hath befallen the King , and the great straights to which he hath been reduced for favouring too much the Popish , and Prelaticall party against the mind and humble desires of both his Kingdomes : and can particular persons think ( who are not Kings , but under that title of Judges ) that they can prosper long in standing for a Sectarian faction against the mind of both Kingdomes , and that the Kingdomes will not see and desire to understand how it comes about ? and by whose meanes it is , that we having taken a Covenant for uniformity in Doctrine , Government , &c. and for extirpating of Heresie , Schisme , and the Parliament , having declared in some Declarations and Remonstrances against Anabaptists , Brownists , preaching of men not ordained , and against leaving particular persons and Congregations to their owne Liberty ; that yet all things should be done quite contrary , with an high hand ?	cache/A83525.xml	txt/A83525.txt
