Pet. Vouching in all their Actions Divine Inspiration for their Warrant, and the Indulgence of the Government for their Indempnity.
Obs. In All their Actions, is too large an Expression, and shews the Petitioners spake by rote. But if we vouch Divine Inspiration for our Warrant in some things, which relate more immediately to the Worship and Service of God (and undertake withal to make appear, that That In∣spiration is not disagreeable to the Divine Testimonies recorded in the Holy Scriptures) we hope our Warrant will not be disliked, for being Grounded on Inspiration, nor that Inspiration, for being Divine: And that the In∣dulgence of so Indulgent a Government will be sufficient to Indempnifie us, in our Peaceable Performance thereof.
