CONCLUSION.

James Dodson

Honoured Sirs

I will trouble you no further, but leave these Positions unto your serious Consideration; I have propounded them by way of Antithesis, desirous to weigh what could be said against them: I am Sir so sensible of the weight of an Oath, the dread of Perjury, especially on a Kingdom, that I could not see this Nations tendency thereunto in silence; if Sir I have any judgement in Christian Rules of safety; one of the first debates in order to the establishment of this Kingdom, and Reformation of this Church, should be how far we are under, and obliged by the Solemn League and Covenant.

ture; but must be bold to say, our Oaths (being of matter consonant to Scripture) are ready Dictators (as well as Spurs) unto our Duty; and (in things merely human, morally good, though not necessary) the compass which should steer our course; I must confess I cannot but be grieved to see some Transactions amongst us, unto a contempt, nay, contradiction of the Covenant; might but my poor weak papers provoke more able and serious Casuists in good earnest, as before God, and in the dread of an Oath, to state, and (by right Religious Reason) to resolve this case of conscience; though in the Negative I had obtained my desire, and (if I know my own heart) none shall be more ready then myself (when convinced) to fall down and worship, and confess God is in them of a truth. I must Sir beg your pardon wherein I appear too tedious; the weight of the Argument, the number and worth of the Antagonists, speak something in Apology for me. Sir, I commend you to the guidance of God’s Holy Spirit, and pray that you may be kept faithful and blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
