Sir,

SEt up the Standard of reason, experience, equity, policy, profit, &c.

And put in into one scale the Law of God, and in the other your humane Law, purified, lopped, and amended, and I'le tell you, yea God himself, Angells and Saints shall witnesse it, it wil be lesse then nothing to it, and lighter then vanity.

Sir, I have written this only to discharge my con∣science herein, and that I may prevent my destruction from God, which for my silence would seize on me; I yet now look for ruine on my self and Family, for witnessing to the Truth of God from the world, so that a woe is to me if I witnesse not to the Truth, and woe is to me if I witnesse to it my unworthinesse, to hold forth the truth, only wounds me, which the Lord pardon, and you and the world passe by, and I shall be a debter to you, and all, being worse then the worst of men, and an unworthy Witnesse of the Truth of the great God;

John Brayne.

FINIS.
