The Conclusion

Thus we desire to give unto Christ that which is his, and unto all lawfull Authority that which is their due, and to owe nothing to any man but love, to live quietly and peaceably, as it becommeth Saints, endeavouring in all things to keep a good conscience, and to doe unto every man (of what judgement soever) as we would they should doe unto us, that as our practice is, so it may prove us to be a conscionable, quiet, and harmlesse people, (no wayes dangerous or troublesome to humane Society) and to labour and work with our hands that we may not be chargeable to any, but to give to him that needeth both friends and enemies, accounting it more excellent to give then to receive. Also we confesse that we know but in part, and that we are ignorant of many things which we desire and seek to know: and if any shall doe us that friendly part to shew us from the word of God that wee see not, we shall have cause to be thankfull to God and them. But if any man shall impose upon us any thing that we see not to be commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ, we should in his strength rather embrace all reproaches and tortures of men, to be stript of all outward comforts, and if it were possible, to die a thousand deaths, rather then to doe any thing against the least tittle of the truth of God, or against the light of our own consciences. And if any shal call what we have said Heresie, then do we with the Apostle acknowledge, that after the way they call heresie, worship we the God of our Fathers, disclaiming all Heresies (rightly so called) because they are against Christ, & to be stedfast and immoveable, alwayes abounding in obedience to Christ, as knowing our labour shall not be in vain in the Lord.

PSAL. 74. 21, 22.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause; Remember how the foolish man blasphemeth thee daily.

O let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needy praise thy Name.

Come Lord Jesus, come quickly.

FINIS.
