1. But in case we finde not the Magistrate to favour us herein; yet wee dare not suspend our practice, because we believe we ought to goe on in obedience to Christ, in professing the faith which was once deliver’d to the Saints, which faith is declared in the holy Scriptures, and this our confession of faith a part of them, and that wee are to witnesse to the truth of the old and new Testament unto the death, if necessitie require, in the midst of all tryals and afflictions, as his Saints of old have done; not accounting our goods, lands, wives, children, fathers, mothers, brethren, sisters; yea, and our owne lives deare unto us, so wee may finish our course with joy, remembring alwayes, that we ought toa obey God rather then men, who will when we have finished our course, and kept the faith, give usb the Crowne of righteousnesse; toc whom wee must give an account of all our actions, and no man being able to discharge us of the same.d
