prevail_v with_o they_o to_o oppose_v and_o usurp_v all_o the_o right_n and_o power_n of_o the_o king_n have_v not_o they_o since_o with_o great_a justice_n to_o the_o lord_n house_n prevail_v with_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o with_o the_o help_n of_o the_o common_a people_n and_o common-council_n as_o whole_o to_o swallow_v up_o the_o lord_n power_n as_o their_o lordship_n former_a concurrence_n have_v enable_v they_o to_o devour_v the_o king_n and_o have_v they_o not_o again_o squeeze_v that_o power_n into_o a_o close_a committee_n and_o thence_o again_o into_o a_o sub-committee_n yet_o close_o than_o that_o that_o be_v in_o to_o themselves_o and_o by_o their_o sole_a order_n and_o to_o their_o sole_a end_n be_v not_o this_o whole_a commonwealth_n upon_o the_o matter_n whole_o govern_v and_o dispose_v do_v they_o not_o not_o only_o justify_v all_o this_o to_o be_v law_n in_o time_n of_o war_n though_o indeed_o they_o only_o offer_v such_o reason_n for_o it_o as_o will_v as_o well_o justify_v any_o unpaid_a soldier_n in_o their_o army_n to_o plunder_n legal_o according_a to_o the_o same_o fundamental_a law_n of_o nature_n and_o necessity_n but_o even_o as_o to_o the_o unjustifiable_a illegal_a vote_n and_o action_n publish_v and_o commit_v before_o the_o war_n do_v they_o either_o make_v any_o acknowledgement_n or_o retractation_n of_o or_o give_v any_o satisfaction_n for_o what_o be_v past_a or_o offer_v any_o such_o security_n against_o the_o like_a for_o the_o future_a as_o the_o king_n have_v do_v for_o those_o thing_n for_o which_o the_o jealousy_n be_v still_o pretend_v to_o continue_v against_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o be_v jealous_a still_o of_o the_o king_n and_o they_o have_v do_v all_o this_o and_o in_o this_o manner_n you_o be_v notwithstanding_o not_o jealous_a that_o they_o will_v continue_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o long_o as_o they_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o power_n i_o can_v but_o wonder_v to_o see_v you_o so_o jealous_a on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o so_o secure_a on_o the_o other_o unless_o perhaps_o what_o i_o imply_v they_o will_v do_v be_v a_o thing_n so_o evident_a to_o you_o that_o you_o count_v it_o the_o object_n rather_o of_o foresight_n then_o of_o jealousy_n four_o i_o answer_v that_o suppose_v you_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o be_v jealous_a of_o they_o and_o have_v ground_n to_o be_v jealous_a of_o his_o majesty_n yet_o this_o be_v no_o sufficient_a excuse_n for_o the_o countenance_n you_o give_v by_o your_o presence_n and_o for_o the_o assistance_n you_o give_v by_o your_o purse_n to_o those_o arm_n which_o upon_o no_o strong_a a_o ground_n be_v raise_v against_o he_o for_o it_o be_v not_o justifiable_a in_o you_o to_o violate_v your_o duty_n for_o fear_v lest_o another_o may_v not_o discharge_v his_o consider_v this_o as_o serious_o as_o the_o matter_n deserve_v and_o you_o will_v be_v of_o my_o opinion_n that_o when_o that_o sin_n shall_v be_v lay_v to_o your_o charge_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n it_o will_v be_v then_o find_v that_o a_o future_a possible_a tyrant_n will_v not_o excuse_v a_o present_a certain_a rebel_n but_o sir_n i_o will_v count_v all_o this_o cast_v away_o upon_o you_o i_o will_v be_v confident_a that_o since_o in_o order_n to_o peace_n and_o immediate_a disband_n of_o the_o army_n the_o king_n desire_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v law_n and_o deny_v nothing_o that_o be_v so_o since_o he_o ask_v not_o all_o that_o by_o law_n he_o may_v ask_v but_o only_o that_o so_o much_o as_o be_v by_o violence_n take_v from_o he_o before_o the_o war_n may_v be_v now_o quiet_o restore_v to_o he_o and_o submit_v all_o the_o other_o injury_n he_o have_v receive_v and_o all_o those_o delinquent_n he_o have_v be_v so_o charge_v to_o protect_v to_o be_v consider_v and_o try_v in_o a_o full_a peaceble_a and_o secure_a convention_n in_o parliament_n since_o after_o this_o offer_v nothing_o can_v be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o pretend_v your_o arm_n to_o be_v any_o long_a necessary_a and_o defensive_a since_o you_o can_v say_v nothing_o to_o persuade_v the_o king_n to_o yield_v to_o what_o they_o ask_v but_o only_o that_o unless_o he_o will_v yield_v to_o what_o you_o will_v not_o say_v be_v reasonable_a they_o be_v unreasonable_a enough_o to_o choose_v to_o destroy_v the_o kingdom_n by_o continue_v the_o war_n i_o will_v be_v confident_a that_o suppose_v this_o unreasonableness_n seem_v a_o reason_n for_o the_o king_n to_o take_v their_o condition_n it_o can_v appear_v none_o to_o you_o to_o take_v their_o

to_o put_v the_o kingdom_n into_o such_o hand_n as_o before_o this_o business_n begin_v be_v know_v to_o few_o man_n in_o it_o i_o know_v you_o be_v engage_v into_o this_o insensible_o and_o by_o
