a_o seasonable_a remonstrance_n by_o way_n of_o address_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n my_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n his_o majesty_n so_o soon_o as_o he_o come_v to_o the_o throne_n his_o undoubted_a right_n have_v be_v please_v gracious_o to_o declare_v in_o council_n that_o he_o will_v maintain_v i_o as_o by_o law_n establish_v i_o can_v without_o injury_n to_o that_o justness_n which_o he_o have_v always_o show_v give_v consent_n to_o the_o least_o doubt_n of_o his_o non-performance_n of_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o see_v you_o my_o child_n be_v here_o assemble_v to_o consult_v and_o advise_v about_o the_o most_o important_a matter_n of_o the_o kingdom_n both_o as_o to_o church_n and_o state_n i_o hope_v it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o represent_v to_o your_o wise_a consideration_n my_o serious_a thought_n concern_v the_o mean_n to_o establish_v my_o tranquillity_n not_o doubt_v but_o your_o ready_a compliance_n join_v with_o his_o majesty_n royal_a care_n and_o vigilance_n will_v sufficient_o secure_v the_o quiet_a of_o the_o state_n you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a how_o i_o for_o many_o year_n have_v be_v on_o all_o side_n attaque_v by_o those_o who_o dissent_n from_o my_o government_n these_o may_v all_o of_o they_o be_v reduce_v to_o two_o head_n the_o papist_n and_o the_o fanatic_a my_o fate_n in_o this_o encounter_n resemble_v that_o of_o a_o city_n besiege_a by_o two_o different_a army_n who_o fight_v both_o against_o it_o and_o one_o another_o where_o if_o the_o garrison_n make_v a_o sally_n to_o beat_v off_o the_o one_o the_o other_o present_o take_v the_o advantage_n to_o make_v a_o attaque_fw-la in_o like_a manner_n whilst_o i_o set_v myself_o vigorous_o to_o oppose_v the_o papist_n the_o puritan_n seek_v to_o undermine_v i_o and_o whilst_o i_o be_o busy_v to_o oppose_v the_o puritan_n the_o papist_n gain_n ground_n upon_o i_o if_o i_o tell_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o do_v not_o forsake_v she_o but_o her_o error_n which_o i_o reform_a my_o rebellious_a subject_n tell_v i_o the_o same_o and_o that_o they_o must_v make_v a_o through_o reformation_n and_o let_v i_o bring_v what_o argument_n i_o please_v to_o justify_v my_o dissent_n the_o same_o be_v always_o produce_v against_o i_o if_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n i_o plead_v against_o the_o puritan_n dissenter_n that_o he_o ought_v to_o stand_v to_o church_n authority_n where_o he_o be_v not_o infallible_o certain_a it_o command_v a_o sin_n the_o papist_n catch_v at_o that_o advantage_n and_o tell_v i_o i_o destroy_v my_o own_o ground_n of_o reformation_n unless_o i_o will_v stand_v to_o that_o infallibility_n which_o i_o condemn_v in_o they_o matter_n stand_v thus_o betwixt_o i_o and_o my_o adversary_n why_o will_v it_o not_o be_v a_o part_n of_o prudence_n in_o i_o as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o will_v esteem_v it_o in_o a_o governor_n of_o that_o city_n i_o now_o mention_v to_o make_v peace_n with_o one_o of_o my_o enemy_n to_o the_o end_n i_o may_v with_o more_o ease_n resist_v the_o onsets_a of_o the_o other_o i_o be_o the_o casily_o induce_v to_o believe_v this_o be_v feazible_a because_o my_o enemy_n be_v at_o mortal_a feude_n with_o one_o another_o and_o will_v much_o rather_o join_v with_o i_o than_o against_o me._n and_o the_o advantage_n such_o a_o union_n will_v bring_v to_o i_o and_o to_o this_o nation_n be_v so_o great_a i_o need_v not_o offer_v they_o to_o your_o view_n who_o can_v but_o at_o the_o very_a first_o see_v they_o our_o next_o consideration_n than_o must_v be_v to_o find_v out_o whether_o of_o these_o two_o party_n may_v be_v the_o soon_o bring_v to_o sign_n article_n of_o peace_n and_o will_v give_v the_o best_a security_n for_o the_o exact_a

but_o see_v my_o puritan_n dissent_v adversary_n to_o be_v a_o company_n of_o people_n most_o of_o they_o without_o honour_n honesty_n conscience_n or_o religion_n though_o they_o pretend_v they_o all_o for_o a_o cloak_n to_o their_o wicked_a villainy_n i_o can_v but_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o implacable_a enemy_n and_o tyrannical_a too_o where_o they_o once_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n and_o if_o i_o admit_v they_o into_o my_o bosom_n i_o may_v assure_v myself_o of_o be_v sting_v by_o they_o when_o they_o be_v once_o warm_a and_o have_v recover_v strength_n i_o need_v not_o mention_v
