but_o i_o beseech_v you_o sir_n observe_v how_o our_o author_n design_n that_o the_o liberty_n he_o mention_n shall_v not_o be_v infringe_v viz._n even_o by_o lay_v a_o restraint_n therein_o upon_o the_o supreme_a power_n before_o it_o be_v erect_v and_o this_o as_o a_o fundamental_a constitution_n among_o other_o upon_o which_o the_o free_a consent_n of_o the_o people_n be_v give_v to_o have_v their_o person_n bring_v into_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o supreme_a authority_n over_o they_o and_o on_o their_o behalf_n as_o it_o be_v express_v towards_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o seven_o p●g_v by_o which_o methinks_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o our_o author_n will_v have_v no_o supreme_a authority_n set_v up_o till_o they_o be_v tie_v to_o that_o which_o will_v make_v they_o merit_n to_o be_v pull_v down_o &_o i_o must_v plain_o confess_v i_o know_v not_o who_o those_o can_v be_v according_a to_o his_o ground_n which_o can_v lay_v a_o restraint_n upon_o the_o supreme_a authority_n either_o before_o or_o after_o its_o erection_n for_o it_o must_v be_v either_o by_o a_o part_n of_o the_o good_a people_n or_o by_o all_o it_o can_v be_v by_o all_o for_o the_o restraint_n must_v be_v lay_v before_o all_o be_v meet_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o act_v and_o it_o be_v a_o act_n to_o lay_v a_o restraint_n and_o if_o by_o a_o part_n by_o what_o right_a can_v they_o lay_v restraint_n upon_o the_o whole_a that_o be_v to_o do_v what_o the_o author_n most_o complain_v of_o how_o ever_o i_o will_v make_v use_n of_o this_o passage_n in_o this_o seven_o page_n to_o reply_v to_o a_o part_n of_o his_o thirteen_o page_n wherein_o he_o lament_v and_o earnest_o ask_v why_o so_o refine_v a_o party_n of_o man_n be_v not_o instruct_v with_o their_o right_n which_o question_n i_o will_v answer_v with_o another_o if_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a and_o fit_a to_o be_v instruct_v with_o their_o right_n why_o do_v he_o complain_v that_o they_o be_v not_o and_o if_o they_o be_v why_o will_v he_o deny_v they_o and_o fetter_v they_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o noble_a concerment_n or_o doubt_v their_o honesty_n if_o this_o particular_a be_v not_o their_o right_n that_o they_o will_v declare_v so_o much_o since_o it_o be_v in_o a_o matter_n so_o evident_a and_o clear_a as_o he_o allege_n this_o be_v but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v whether_o this_o refine_a party_n do_v fight_v for_o that_o liberty_n he_o mention_n observe_v i_o beseech_v you_o what_o they_o do_v either_o in_o their_o defusive_a capacity_n or_o as_o represent_v in_o or_o by_o their_o parliament_n in_o which_o most_o proper_o they_o speak_v and_o act_v as_o to_o the_o first_o you_o shall_v have_v our_o author_n own_o word_n &_o observation_n to_o clear_v it_o which_o also_o he_o accompany_v with_o this_o expression_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n will_v not_o sudden_o be_v out_o of_o memory_n viz._n when_o the_o last_o king_n make_v war_n against_o the_o scot_n he_o be_v desert_v by_o all_o the_o good_a people_n of_o england_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a those_o which_o he_o call_v persecute_v presbyter_n be_v own_v as_o good_a man_n by_o the_o good_a people_n and_o whether_o those_o do_v allow_v of_o his_o freedom_n be_v as_o clear_v by_o the_o title_n he_o give_v they_o of_o persecutor_n as_o to_o the_o second_o i_o appeal_v to_o his_o own_o conscience_n whether_o he_o do_v not_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o people_n represent_v in_o the_o long_a parliament_n and_o i_o think_v he_o will_v own_v none_o other_o since_o which_o have_v act_v to_o be_v a_o true_a representative_a have_v not_o begin_v to_o establish_v and_o will_v not_o
