and_o have_v be_v willing_a to_o contribute_v to_o the_o support_n and_o continuance_n of_o that_o government_n if_o it_o may_v be_v but_o we_o always_o understand_v it_o in_o subordination_n not_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o king_n his_o government_n and_o law_n and_o with_o a_o salvo_fw-la of_o all_o their_o majesty_n royal_a right_n we_o never_o intend_v to_o invade_v the_o liberty_n of_o our_o fellow-subject_n or_o to_o use_v rigour_n towards_o such_o as_o be_v not_o altogether_o of_o our_o mind_n but_o desire_v that_o moderation_n may_v be_v use_v and_o that_o we_o may_v in_o no_o

think_v that_o our_o leader_n and_o principal_a actor_n in_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n we_o think_v also_o we_o have_v speak_v as_o we_o mean_v when_o at_o the_o revolution_n may_v the_o 9_o the_o 1689._o we_o declare_v that_o we_o take_v the_o government_n only_o till_o we_o shall_v receive_v further_a order_n from_o the_o king_n and_o in_o our_o address_n to_o his_o majesty_n we_o show_v his_o majesty_n the_o same_o thing_n and_o withal_o profess_v ourselves_o his_o humble_a and_o obedient_a súbject_n and_o pray_v his_o majesty_n in_o his_o clemency_n to_o give_v we_o such_o direction_n as_o to_o his_o princely_a wisdom_n shall_v seem_v meet_a and_o we_o think_v that_o it_o be_v our_o sincere_a and_o unanimous_a purpose_n and_o resolution_n to_o follow_v his_o majesty_n direction_n when_o give_v and_o not_o to_o put_v a_o trick_n upon_o he_o but_o now_o we_o be_v afraid_a we_o be_v delude_v and_o not_o without_o reason_n he_o be_v blind_a that_o have_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o notorious_a falsehood_n that_o have_v be_v use_v and_o the_o innumerable_a lie_n of_o all_o sort_n that_o have_v all_o along_o from_o time_n to_o time_n be_v and_o be_v still_o raise_v and_o foment_v the_o advantage_n that_o have_v be_v take_v of_o man_n ignorance_n and_o the_o endeavour_n that_o have_v be_v and_o be_v use_v to_o keep_v man_n in_o the_o dark_a as_o if_o we_o design_v to_o train_v they_o up_o in_o a_o blind_a obedience_n to_o we_o beside_o other_o ill_a measure_n take_v and_o now_o at_o last_o such_o open_a and_o resolûte_a

if_o all_o our_o declaration_n ànd_v protestation_n aforesaid_a be_v but_o a_o cheat_n and_o rebellion_n be_v indeed_o coûched_a and_o lurk_v under_o the_o specious_a and_o entice_a term_n of_o a_o

the_o generality_n of_o the_o good_a people_n in_o this_o colony_n intend_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v plunge_v blindfold_o into_o the_o pit_n of_o rebellion_n some_o of_o we_o remember_v and_o consider_v that_o in_o the_o forementioned_a passage_n we_o have_v give_v our_o hand_n to_o their_o majesty_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o may_v think_v to_o avoid_v this_o

great_a case_n of_o ship-money_n so_o large_o and_o learned_o argue_v anno_fw-la 13_o car._n 1._o wherein_o it_o be_v agree_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o the_o king_n be_v raise_v to_o the_o throne_n for_o the_o safeguard_v of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o body_n and_o estate_n of_o the_o subject_n and_o therefore_o the_o defence_n be_v the_o king_n the_o safety_n of_o the_o people_n commit_v to_o he_o be_v incumbent_a upon_o our_o lord_n the_o king_n that_o the_o law_n have_v entrust_v the_o king_n with_o the_o care_n of_o the_o defence_n both_o domestic_a and_o foreign_a that_o all_o jurisdiction_n legal_a be_v whole_o in_o his_o majesty_n that_o this_o be_v evident_a even_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n that_o the_o king_n be_v pater_fw-la patriae_fw-la the_o father_n of_o his_o country_n and_o therefore_o bind_v both_o in_o honour_n and_o by_o his_o oath_n to_o provide_v for_o its_o safety_n on_o every_o side_n that_o for_o this_o end_n the_o law_n have_v put_v the_o arm_a

order_v the_o way_n and_o mean_n of_o defence_n either_o by_o sea_n or_o by_o land_n as_o they_o think_v fit_a for_o no_o man_n without_o commission_n or_o special_a licence_n from_o his_o majesty_n may_v set_v forth_o any_o ship_n to_o sea_n for_o that_o purpose_n nor_o without_o such_o commission_n or_o licence_n unless_o upon_o sudden_a come_n of_o enemy_n may_v erect_v a_o fort_n castle_n or_o bulwark_n though_o upon_o his_o own_o ground_n nor_o but_o upon_o some_o such_o cause_n be_v it_o lawful_a for_o any_o subject_a without_o special_a commission_n to_o arm_v or_o draw_v together_o

all_o other_o power_n requisite_a for_o the_o full_a execution_n of_o so_o high_a a_o place_n as_o well_o in_o time_n of_o eminent_a danger_n as_o of_o actual_a war._n that_o the_o law_n lay_v the_o

and_o arm_n whereby_o he_o may_v right_o govern_v the_o time_n both_o of_o peace_n and_o war._n nor_o be_v the_o question_n upon_o who_o the_o burden_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v lay_v for_o allegiance_n bind_v every_o subject_a to_o yield_v his_o best_a assistance_n both_o of_o counsel_n and_o aid_n for_o the_o common_a defence_n these_o thing_n be_v without_o controversy_n agree_v on_o both_o hand_n but_o the_o only_a question_n be_v concern_v the_o manner_n how_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o defence_n ought_v to_o be_v levy_v whether_o by_o the_o king_n writ_n or_o by_o common_a consent_n hereby_o therefore_o we_o may_v see_v that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n the_o sole_a and_o supreme_a power_n government_n and_o dispose_v of_o the_o militia_n etc._n etc._n be_v and_o ever_o be_v the_o

commission_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o ancient_a and_o stand_a law_n of_o the_o realm_n yea_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o necessary_a forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v incumbent_n upon_o their_o

then_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o our_o disobedience_n to_o this_o commission_n be_v utter_o inexcusable_a and_o much_o more_o our_o contempt_n 4_o thly_a it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v also_o that_o when_o their_o present_a majesty_n come_v to_o the_o throne_n the_o militia_n and_o all_o force_n by_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o all_o fort_n and_o place_n of_o strength_n in_o connecticut_n be_v in_o their_o majesty_n hand_n and_o possession_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o bethink_v we_o who_o take_v they_o out_o of_o their_o majestìe_n hand_n or_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v not_o now_o in_o their_o majesty_n hand_n if_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o or_o who_o will_v adventure_v to_o give_v account_n of_o that_o matter_n be_v it_o not_o more_o wisdom_n for_o we_o to_o make_v sure_a of_o a_o pardon_n for_o what_o be_v past_a than_o to_o go_v on_o to_o multiply_v and_o aggravate_v our_o presumption_n 5_o thly_a put_v the_o case_n that_o their_o majesty_n have_v
