A47415	Kid, John, d. 1679.	The last speeches of the two ministers Mr. John King, and Mr. John Kid, [brace] at the place of execution at Edenburgh on the 14th day of August, 1679.	1680		.xml	application/xml	7149	162	54	Eightly , As for the Fifth Cause in my indictment , upon which my sentence of death is founded , ( viz. ) Personal presence , Twice or thrice , with that party whom they call the Rebels ; for my own part I never Judged them such : I Acknowledge and do believe there were many there that came in the simplicity of their hearts , like those that followed Absolom long ago , and I am as sure on the other hand there were a great party there that had nothing before them but the repairing of the Fallen work , and the restoring the breach , which is wide as the Sea , and I am apt to think that such of these who were most branded with mistake , will be found to be most single : but for Rebellion against his Majesties person or Lawful Authority , the Lord knows my Soul Abhorreth the name and thing ; Loyal I have been , and I wish every Christian to be so , and I was ever of this Judgment , To give to Caesar the things that are Caesars , and to God the things that are Gods. That I preached up Rebellion , and taking up Arms against Authority is untrue , I bless the Lord my Conscience doth not condemn me for that ; this never being my design ; if I could have preached Christ , and Salvation through his name , it was my work ; and herein have I walked according to the Light and Rule of the Word of God , as it did become me , though one of the meanest of the Ministers of the Gospel .	cache/A47415.xml	txt/A47415.txt
