courage_n and_o constancy_n i_o come_v now_o to_o that_o you_o call_v a_o less_o please_a subject_n their_o refuse_v the_o oath_n i_o will_v not_o dispute_v with_o you_o whether_o they_o have_v do_v well_o or_o ill_o or_o whether_o they_o ought_v or_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v the_o oath_n but_o whether_o you_o have_v offer_v any_o thing_n considerable_a to_o convince_v they_o you_o say_v you_o will_v be_v so_o kind_a to_o they_o as_o to_o make_v they_o judge_n in_o their_o own_o cause_n well_o that_o be_v a_o kindness_n and_o in_o consequence_n of_o it_o i_o pray_v let_v their_o lordship_n be_v ask_v and_o the_o matter_n i_o suppose_v will_v soon_o be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o you_o do_v not_o mean_v so_o only_o a_o paper_n they_o set_v their_o hand_n to_o almost_o a_o twelvemonth_n since_o if_o all_o the_o declaration_n that_o man_n have_v subscribe_v must_v be_v their_o judge_n however_o the_o bishop_n may_v escape_v i_o be_o afraid_a those_o that_o be_v so_o hot_a upon_o this_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v the_o trial_n themselves_o of_o their_o own_o declaration_n and_o subscription_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a difference_n between_o those_o subscription_n and_o this_o of_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o other_o lord_n when_o that_o declaration_n at_o guildhall_n be_v make_v and_o subscribe_v the_o time_n be_v in_o the_o utmost_a confusion_n the_o king_n be_v withdraw_v the_o rabble_n up_o in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o necessity_n press_v and_o urgent_a put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o need_n there_o be_v reason_n and_o ground_n enough_o for_o allowance_n and_o however_o it_o be_v very_o unreasonable_o urge_v by_o those_o who_o themselves_o be_v so_o little_o tie_v to_o their_o own_o solemn_a and_o deliberate_a declaration_n and_o subscription_n but_o i_o pray_v what_o be_v there_o in_o this_o declaration_n that_o so_o warm_o affect_v the_o bishop_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v refuse_v to_o be_v judge_v by_o it_o the_o short_a of_o it_o be_v that_o they_o resolve_v to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o p._n of_o o_o who_o have_v undertake_v and_o promise_v by_o his_o declaration_n to_o rescue_v we_o by_o endeavour_v to_o procure_v a_o free_a parliament_n that_o they_o will_v assist_v he_o in_o the_o obtain_n such_o a_o parliament_n wherein_o our_o law_n and_o liberty_n may_v be_v secure_v the_o protestant_a interest_n support_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o happiness_n of_o the_o establish_v government_n of_o these_o kingdom_n and_o now_o sir_n i_o pray_v tell_v i_o what_o contradiction_n be_v there_o in_o all_o this_o to_o their_o present_a or_o to_o their_o former_a practice_n be_v it_o that_o they_o declare_v to_o endeavour_v for_o a_o free_a parliament_n that_o very_a thing_n they_o have_v do_v in_o their_o advice_n and_o petition_v not_o long_o before_o or_o be_v it_o that_o they_o apply_v to_o the_o p._n of_o o._n and_o promise_v to_o assist_v he_o why_o they_o promise_v to_o assist_v he_o but_o in_o the_o obtain_n a_o free_a parliament_n and_o such_o a_o free_a parliament_n as_o may_v secure_v the_o law_n etc._n etc._n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o establish_v government_n and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o swear_v how_o come_v there_o to_o be_v such_o a_o inseparable_a connexion_n between_o the_o oath_n and_o the_o declaration_n that_o the_o refuse_v the_o one_o be_v a_o palpable_a violation_n of_o the_o other_o can_v a_o man_n endeavour_n for_o a_o free_a parliament_n and_o promise_v to_o assist_v the_o p._n of_o o._n in_o procure_v one_o but_o that_o in_o his_o own_o judgement_n he_o must_v think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o take_v the_o oath_n and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o he_o recal_v his_o consent_n and_o fly_v from_o his_o subscription_n how_o you_o will_v prove_v this_o i_o can_v tell_v and_o i_o be_o confident_a from_o these_o premise_n all_o the_o skill_n you_o have_v can_v never_o draw_v such_o a_o conclusion_n the_o next_o thing_n you_o proceed_v upon_o be_v that_o salus_fw-la populi_fw-la est_fw-la suprema_fw-la lex_fw-la and_o upon_o this_o maxim_n you_o say_v you_o will_v dispute_v the_o matter_n in_o cool_a blood_n i_o be_o glad_a of_o that_o for_o hitherto_o your_o blood_n or_o your_o choler_n have_v be_v very_o hot_a and_o to_o do_v you_o right_n what_o follow_v be_v the_o cool_v thing_n you_o have_v say_v in_o all_o your_o letter_n you_o say_v the_o say_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o old_a roman_n among_o who_o the_o people_n with_o the_o senate_n have_v the_o face_n of_o the_o supreme_a magistracy_n so_o that_o in_o our_o constitution_n the_o king_n be_v concern_v in_o that_o maxim_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v shut_v out_o from_o his_o share_n in_o it_o very_o well_o sir_n hitherto_o it_o be_v very_o cool_a but_o say_v you_o in_o admit_v a_o head_n i_o will_v not_o exclude_v the_o body_n and_o so_o say_v i_o too_o and_o if_o you_o please_v add_v that_o in_o admit_v a_o body_n you_o will_v not_o exclude_v the_o head_n and_o then_o it_o be_v as_o broad_a as_o long_o you_o proceed_v with_o your_o argument_n although_o it_o be_v possible_a kingdom_n may_v have_v suffer_v by_o the_o people_n encroachment_n yet_o to_o say_v that_o a_o government_n can_v suffer_v in_o no_o other_o instance_n will_v be_v full_a as_o absurd_a as_o to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v mortal_o wound_v no_o where_o but_o in_o his_o head_n but_o we_o be_v sure_o there_o be_v part_n in_o our_o body_n as_o fatal_a to_o be_v touch_v as_o the_o brain_n and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v guard_v with_o equal_a care_n that_o be_v if_o the_o mouth_n bite_v the_o finger_n the_o tooth_n be_v to_o be_v pull_v out_o if_o the_o head_n send_v defluxion_n upon_o the_o lung_n the_o head_n must_v be_v cut_v off_o because_o the_o lung_n be_v a_o vital_a part_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v guard_v with_o equal_a care_n sir_n it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v after_o such_o clear_a demonstration_n that_o now_o my_o lord_n the_o bishop_n will_v be_v convince_v and_o take_v the_o oath_n you_o say_v in_o those_o case_n we_o be_v not_o tie_v up_o to_o the_o rigour_n and_o word_n of_o a_o law_n for_o if_o the_o moral_a equity_n and_o the_o design_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v better_a observe_v by_o break_v the_o letter_n it_o be_v lawful_a nay_o our_o duty_n to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o make_v good_a this_o you_o instance_n in_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o maccabee_n break_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n in_o which_o instance_n the_o rule_n hold_v good_a as_o also_o in_o all_o ceremonial_a and_o positive_a institution_n but_o how_o come_v this_o rule_n to_o be_v extend_v to_o moral_a law_n the_o moral_a equity_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n we_o know_v but_o i_o pray_v which_o be_v the_o moral_a equity_n of_o the_o five_o commandment_n or_o of_o any_o other_o moral_a precept_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o which_o a_o man_n may_v break_v the_o letter_n and_o act_n contrary_a to_o it_o and_o yet_o keep_v the_o commandment_n when_o you_o speak_v plain_a to_o this_o you_o will_v find_v your_o account_n will_v reach_v all_o the_o commandment_n as_o well_o as_o the_o five_o and_o in_o virtue_n of_o it_o a_o man_n may_v be_v permit_v to_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a to_o commit_v murder_n theft_n or_o bear_v false_a witness_n as_o well_o as_o not_o honour_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n you_o be_v a_o little_a pleasant_a when_o you_o talk_v of_o be_v wise_a martyr_n to_o the_o five_o commandment_n but_o by_o this_o you_o do_v not_o only_a ridicule_n passive_a obedience_n but_o also_o all_o the_o martyr_n and_o sufferer_n for_o religion_n in_o the_o primitive_a persecution_n for_o they_o be_v just_o such_o wise_a martyr_n and_o no_o other_o for_o the_o rule_n of_o break_v the_o letter_n of_o a_o law_n by_o the_o moral_a equity_n of_o it_o be_v sure_o full_a as_o early_o and_o will_v serve_v they_o as_o well_o as_o any_o body_n else_o and_o these_o instance_n of_o equity_n you_o mention_v that_o king_n be_v make_v for_o the_o people_n not_o the_o people_n for_o king_n that_o the_o right_n of_o the_o

the_o very_a same_o in_o those_o day_n as_o they_o be_v now_o and_o i_o challenge_v you_o to_o name_v one_o single_a instance_n of_o moral_a equity_n which_o do_v not_o equal_o affect_v they_o as_o any_o person_n since_o and_o may_v not_o have_v be_v as_o serviceable_a to_o they_o and_o therefore_o till_o you_o can_v show_v the_o difference_n they_o will_v be_v even_o just_a such_o
