they_o do_v deny_v he_o to_o be_v a_o p●rt_n of_o the_o parliament_n sure_o i_o be_o in_o all_o their_o address_n unto_o he_o they_o prostrate_v themselves_o in_o the_o humble_a term_n as_o your_o

and_o do_v vudoubted_o believe_v that_o they_o can_v never_o be_v better_o provide_v of_o their_o safety_n then_o to_o be_v at_o the_o sole_a dispose_n of_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n though_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v no_o part_n thereof_o for_o be_v he_o the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n he_o be_v but_o one_o man_n and_o that_o great_a counsel_n can_v not_o be_v much_o better_v by_o any_o one_o man_n judgement_n i_o conceive_v also_o the_o prejudice_n to_o be_v very_o great_a that_o the_o king_n shall_v have_v a_o negative_a voice_n or_o have_v the_o sole_a power_n of_o call_v and_o dissolve_v of_o parliament_n all_o this_o and_o more_o i_o see_v and_o judge_v as_o clear_o as_o you_o and_o have_v wonder_v that_o king_n shall_v be_v accountable_a only_o to_o god_n and_o not_o to_o the_o power_n of_o parliament_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o i_o or_o to_o you_o if_o you_o will_v right_o consider_v who_o be_v subject_n and_o must_v and_o aught_o to_o

submit_v with_o all_o obedience_n and_o that_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o government_n have_v place_v so_o great_a and_o absolute_a a_o power_n in_o the_o king_n i_o be_o induce_v to_o believe_v from_o the_o two_o house_n own_o expression_n and_o the_o king_n claim_v uncontradict_v or_o not_o so_o plain_o as_o that_o i_o understand_v it_o resol_n to_o my_o mind_n now_o i_o see_v some_o reason_n induce_v the_o parliament_n to_o use_v such_o low_a expression_n and_o humble_a term_n which_o occasion_n in_o you_o though_o not_o just_o a_o disesteem_v of_o their_o power_n for_o you_o will_v find_v when_o you_o have_v consider_v all_o you_o can_v the_o king_n be_v only_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n but_o the_o parliament_n be_v the_o supreme_a power_n from_o which_o there_o be_v no_o appeal_n and_o by_o parliament_n i_o understand_v the_o two_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o commons_o and_o their_o force_n and_o power_n to_o be_v just_o in_o the_o mayor_n part_n &_o their_o vote_n to_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o kingdom_n one_o reason_n may_v be_v the_o long_a disuse_n of_o the_o parliamentary_a power_n occasion_v by_o a_o strong_a hand_n bear_v over_o they_o by_o the_o king_n and_o most_o of_o his_o predecessor_n who_o have_v all_o endeavour_v to_o abate_v their_o power_n and_o thereby_o to_o advance_v the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n above_o the_o power_n of_o parliament_n which_o take_v effect_n by_o degree_n and_o get_v ground_n by_o long_a disuse_n and_o abuse_v of_o parliament_n abridge_n their_o privilege_n and_o oppress_v many_o of_o their_o member_n so_o that_o now_o in_o our_o present_a age_n man_n esteem_v of_o the_o parliamentary_a power_n just_a as_o king_n will_v have_v they_o and_o according_a to_o their_o politician_n interpretation_n and_o can_v so_o much_o as_o guess_v what_o their_o power_n be_v in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o when_o any_o man_n speak_v of_o a_o unlimited_a power_n in_o they_o that_o they_o be_v neither_o

invite_v they_o unto_o when_o they_o be_v tell_v that_o their_o power_n be_v above_o the_o power_n of_o king_n and_o that_o king_n be_v accountable_a unto_o they_o that_o the_o king_n be_v bind_v by_o

of_o any_o man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n or_o that_o our_o care_n will_v be_v such_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o long_o continue_v the_o worst_a affect_v which_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o

and_o think_v it_o to_o be_v no_o less_o than_o treason_n and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v the_o parliament_n in_o their_o address_n unto_o the_o king_n have_v use_v such_o language_n as_o you_o

and_o only_o upon_o necessity_n that_o necessity_n may_v make_v the_o people_n know_v that_o that_o power_n be_v just_a and_o reasonable_a as_o fear_v the_o people_n weakness_n can_v not_o digest_v

can_v not_o in_o my_o judgement_n have_v do_v themselves_o more_o good_a nor_o the_o kingdom_n more_o right_a than_o to_o have_v use_v in_o all_o their_o address_n to_o the_o king_n such_o language_n as_o have_v most_o proper_o express_v their_o full_a power_n and_o his_o office_n for_o how_o else_o shall_v the_o kingdom_n ever_o right_o understand_v that_o relation_n which_o the_o parliament_n
