what_o just_a power_n have_v they_o to_o constitute_v themselves_o a_o commonwealth_n there_o be_v no_o act_n of_o the_o people_n that_o either_o make_v they_o so_o or_o give_v they_o power_n to_o

and_o his_o providence_n now_o if_o the_o parliament_n do_v assume_v the_o government_n without_o any_o rule_n or_o authority_n and_o impose_v it_o and_o themselves_o upon_o the_o people_n and_o so_o upon_o the_o army_n what_o law_n be_v break_v in_o pull_v down_o that_o which_o stand_v not_o by_o law_n ii_o that_o government_n such_o a_o constitution_n as_o it_o have_v be_v from_o the_o army_n the_o army_n urge_v they_o to_o do_v justice_n upon_o the_o king_n which_o they_o neither_o can_v nor_o dare_v do_v themselves_o for_o they_o and_o eveny_v rational_a man_n must_v confess_v that_o

what_o i_o have_v now_o to_o say_v be_v but_o my_o fancy_n but_o take_v it_o among_o other_o thing_n that_o the_o time_n of_o his_o extreme_a suffering_n be_v when_o this_o cause_n of_o religion_n in_o which_o we_o be_v now_o engage_v be_v at_o its_o low_a ebb_n and_o that_o when_o he_o come_v forth_o into_o comfort_n of_o spirit_n and_o enlargement_n of_o estate_n religion_n begin_v then_o

of_o other_o way_n as_o many_o eminent_a man_n have_v be_v a_o main_a pillar_n of_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o in_o all_o its_o change_n i_o must_v be_v excuse_v if_o i_o tell_v my_o thought_n of_o

bless_v i_o know_v not_o i_o confess_v i_o never_o yet_o see_v any_o thing_n in_o agitation_n that_o can_v make_v all_o party_n happy_a and_o bless_a sure_o nothing_o be_v true_o bless_v but_o that_o wherein_o all_o good_a man_n may_v find_v rest_n it_o may_v be_v you_o plate_n much_o of_o you_o happiness_n in_o a_o parliament_n for_o in_o this_o article_n you_o plead_v for_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n if_o you_o do_v not_o many_o other_o do_v think_v it_o the_o only_a cure_n of_o our_o distemper_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v free_o give_v you_o my_o thought_n of_o parliament_n a_o parliament_n be_v a_o constitution_n in_o which_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n and_o equity_n and_o of_o late_o it_o have_v be_v very_o benign_a to_o liberty_n and_o religion_n for_o which_o we_o may_v remember_v it_o with_o honour_n but_o i_o fear_v it_o have_v be_v make_v a_o idol_n by_o many_o of_o we_o and_o exalt_v above_o its_o place_n for_o which_o it_o have_v be_v miserable_o blast_v and_o curse_a render_v a_o vain_a and_o unprofitable_a thing_n subject_v to_o scorn_n and_o contempt_n have_v lose_v its_o union_n majesty_n and_o wisdom_n the_o consideration_n that_o i_o have_v long_o have_v concern_v a_o parliament_n be_v these_o i._n first_o a_o parliament_n be_v a_o body_n whereof_o the_o king_n be_v the_o head_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v his_o parliament_n because_o form_v and_o call_v by_o he_o at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n for_o his_o own_o end_n and_o it_o be_v his_o interest_n which_o he_o much_o plead_v for_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o these_o time_n a_o free_a parliament_n for_o have_v they_o be_v free_a in_o their_o debate_n and_o vote_n he_o and_o all_o his_o have_v be_v undoubted_o safe_a for_o the_o parliament_n do_v zealous_o and_o hearty_o intend_v the_o advance_n of_o he_o and_o make_v he_o a_o great_a prince_n and_o engage_v and_o protest_v to_o it_o however_o they_o be_v afterward_o force_v from_o their_o own_o protestation_n but_o not_o by_o any_o natural_a motion_n of_o their_o own_o but_o by_o a_o overpower_v hand_n a_o parliament_n be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o king_n and_o a_o king_n as_o much_o the_o interest_n of_o a_o parliament_n ii_o second_o a_o parliament_n be_v a_o worldly_a earthly_a constitution_n consist_v of_o worldly_a matter_n gentleman_n of_o estate_n and_o choose_v by_o people_n in_o the_o capacity_n only_o of_o possess_v so_o much_o land_n without_o any_o respect_n at_o all_o have_v in_o elector_n or_o elect_v to_o any_o character_n of_o grace_n or_o anoint_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o world_n not_o of_o the_o saint_n a_o part_n of_o the_o four_o monarchy_n not_o of_o the_o five_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n not_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n form_v by_o custom_n in_o the_o darkness_n and_o enmity_n of_o the_o world_n not_o in_o the_o light_n and_o wisdom_n of_o christ_n iii_o three_o the_o parliament_n have_v it_o have_v its_o privilege_n viz._n freedom_n for_o all_o its_o member_n to_o debate_n and_o vote_n will_v never_o have_v remove_v any_o thing_n of_o king_n lord_n or_o bishop_n they_o have_v all_o stand_v to_o this_o day_n have_v not_o the_o parliament_n be_v force_v by_o the_o people_n we_o may_v talk_v of_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n but_o alas_o who_o do_v not_o see_v that_o we_o do_v make_v bold_a with_o their_o privilege_n by_o drive_v some_o out_o and_o drive_v some_o on_o beyond_o their_o reason_n to_o what_o we_o and_o the_o people_n affect_v and_o this_o so_o gross_o that_o though_o it_o may_v be_v a_o shame_n to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v more_o a_o shame_n to_o deny_v it_o or_o to_o seem_v now_o to_o plead_v for_o the_o stand_n of_o parliament_n and_o privilege_n when_o common_a sense_n or_o ingenuity_n will_v tell_v we_o we_o have_v force_v and_o violate_v they_o at_o our_o pleasure_n from_o the_o beginning_n iu._n four_o we_o can_v in_o reason_n expect_v a_o free_a parliament_n at_o this_o time_n because_o the_o people_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o have_v a_o free_a choice_n of_o member_n or_o at_o least_o not_o fit_a in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o subscriber_n for_o general_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o nation_n at_o this_o time_n be_v complain_v of_o sect_n and_o division_n in_o religion_n and_o jealous_a that_o the_o anabaptist_n will_v get_v the_o upper_a hand_n and_o pull_v down_o both_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n therefore_o we_o can_v but_o think_v give_v they_o freedom_n to_o choose_v they_o will_v pitch_v upon_o sober_a wiseman_n that_o shall_v stop_v this_o inundation_n of_o innovation_n in_o church_n and_o state_n therefore_o you_o can_v have_v a_o free_a parliament_n except_o you_o admit_v the_o people_n to_o a_o free_a choice_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o free_a parliament_n which_o indeed_o neither_o the_o subscriber_n nor_o any_o rational_a honest_a man_n can_v admit_v for_o the_o great_a number_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v either_o malignant_a and_o oppose_a reformation_n or_o late_o offend_v at_o it_o or_o neutral_a and_o sottish_o mindless_a of_o any_o thing_n but_o their_o profit_n all_o these_o must_v be_v conclude_v unfit_a to_o be_v the_o root_n of_o that_o power_n that_o must_v carry_v on_o the_o great_a work_n begin_v and_o secure_v honest_a man_n and_o honest_a thing_n and_o shall_v we_o restrain_v the_o election_n to_o honest_a man_n for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o law_n yet_o they_o also_o be_v for_o the_o present_a unfit_a for_o choice_n be_v divide_v into_o sect_n and_o party_n and_o so_o not_o competent_a judge_n of_o man_n ability_n to_o govern_v but_o will_v over_o value_v their_o friend_n and_o undervalue_v their_o enemy_n choose_v a_o unworthy_a man_n because_o of_o our_o own_o party_n and_o refuse_v a_o worthy_a man_n because_o opposite_a to_o we_o so_o that_o the_o foundation_n of_o a_o parliament_n will_v be_v lay_v though_o choose_v by_o the_o best_a man_n not_o only_o in_o bitter_a strife_n and_o enmity_n but_o in_o unrighteousness_n and_o partiality_n and_o what_o fruit_n can_v we_o expect_v but_o jangle_v and_o cavil_v from_o the_o root_n of_o blind_a and_o unjust_a contention_n but_o alas_o a_o free_a choice_n be_v out_o of_o use_n among_o we_o for_o the_o custom_n have_v be_v either_o to_o awe_v the_o people_n out_o of_o their_o choice_n by_o greatness_n or_o to_o cheat_v they_o of_o it_o by_o canvas_v and_o importunity_n and_o so_o either_o some_o great_a man_n or_o busy_a factious_a man_n have_v make_v parliament-man_n in_o most_o place_n and_o the_o people_n in_o who_o we_o will_v place_v the_o original_a power_n over_o our_o life_n liberty_n and_o religion_n be_v such_o fool_n or_o beast_n as_o to_o be_v thus_o drive_v in_o their_o election_n if_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o parliament_n at_o this_o time_n i_o shall_v fear_v it_o will_v be_v like_o that_o beast_n speak_v of_o rev._n 13._o 1_o 2._o which_o do_v rise_v out_o
