the_o peace_n with_o which_o god_n then_o bless_v this_o kingdom_n be_v their_o safety_n 2._o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v never_o the_o meaning_n and_o purpose_n of_o this_o state_n then_o or_o at_o

3._o it_o be_v likewise_o considerable_a what_o a_o entire_a and_o divide_a body_n they_o keep_v themselves_o for_o few_o or_o none_o of_o they_o marry_v with_o any_o of_o we_o but_o only_o one_o

be_v a_o kind_n of_o another_o commonwealth_n within_o this_o and_o so_o ready_a for_o that_o which_o i_o hold_v not_o fit_a to_o express_v any_o far_o 4._o it_o be_v likewise_o of_o great_a

6._o last_o of_o all_o i_o think_v it_o very_o just_a not_o to_o suffer_v french_a or_o dutch_a church_n differ_v from_o we_o in_o discipline_n to_o be_v otherwise_o or_o long_o tolerate_v in_o any_o

and_o the_o way_n to_o reduce_v they_o into_o one_o body_n with_o this_o kingdom_n in_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v subject_n 2._o i_o conceive_v the_o best_a way_n to_o know_v their_o number_n be_v by_o a_o command_n from_o the_o state_n itself_o and_o to_o have_v it_o avowed_o take_v in_o all_o place_n where_o they_o reside_v with_o a_o certificate_n either_o present_o or_o when_o your_o lordship_n shall_v think_v fit_a which_o be_v the_o man_n of_o credit_n and_o wealth_n among_o they_o and_o this_o may_v be_v do_v real_o for_o their_o good_a and_o so_o sweeten_v as_o that_o they_o may_v apprehend_v it_o for_o a_o benefit_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v 3._o it_o be_v fit_a if_o they_o will_v continue_v as_o a_o divide_a body_n from_o both_o state_n and_o church_n that_o they_o be_v use_v as_o
stranger_n and_o not_o as_o native_n that_o be_v that_o they_o may_v pay_v all_o double_a duty_n as_o stranger_n use_v to_o do_v and_o have_v no_o more_o immunity_n than_o stranger_n have_v till_o they_o will_v live_v and_o converse_v as_o other_o subject_n do_v and_o this_o matter_n of_o loss_n or_o gain_n be_v as_o likely_a to_o work_v upon_o they_o especial_o the_o merchant_n and_o rich_a man_n as_o any_o other_o thing_n and_o perhaps_o more_o 4._o when_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a actual_o to_o reduce_v they_o to_o live_v as_o other_o subject_n do_v both_o in_o relation_n to_o church_n and_o state_n the_o way_n i_o conceive_v may_v be_v to_o have_v they_o fair_o warn_v in_o a_o ecclesiastical_a way_n for_o every_o man_n with_o his_o household_n if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o

it_o may_v be_v the_o rest_n will_v yield_v themselves_o 5._o if_o this_o do_v not_o prevail_v i_o then_o conceive_v under_o favour_n it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o remedy_n unless_o the_o state_n will_v public_o declare_v that_o if_o they_o will_v be_v as_o native_n and_o take_v the_o benefit_n of_o subject_n they_o must_v conform_v themselves_o to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n aswell_o
