spy_n be_v abroad_o they_o often_o meet_v but_o dare_v not_o speak_v but_o part_v with_o tear_n in_o their_o eye_n which_o declare_v that_o they_o have_v more_o to_o utter_v but_o dare_v not_o this_o

be_v the_o true_a ground_n and_o occasion_n of_o the_o war_n which_o unless_o i_o clear_v and_o put_v it_o out_o of_o question_n as_o the_o charge_n import_v i_o shall_v fall_v short_a of_o what_o i_o chief_o aim_n at_o viz._n that_o the_o king_n set_v up_o his_o standard_n of_o war_n for_o the_o advancement_n and_o uphold_v of_o his_o personal_a interest_n power_n and_o pretend_a prerogative_n against_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o common-right_a peace_n and_o safety_n and_o thus_o i_o prove_v it_o 1._o he_o fight_v for_o the_o militia_n by_o sea_n and_o land_n to_o have_v it_o at_o his_o absolute_a dispose_n and_o to_o justify_v and_o maintain_v his_o illegal_a commission_n of_o array_n and_o this_o he_o pretend_v be_v his_o birthright_n by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n which_o if_o

thing_n that_o he_o pretend_v to_o fight_v for_o be_v his_o power_n to_o call_v parliament_n when_o he_o please_v and_o dissolve_v they_o when_o he_o list_v if_o they_o will_v serve_v his_o turn_n than_o they_o may_v sit_v by_o a_o law_n to_o enslave_v the_o people_n so_o that_o the_o people_n have_v better_o choose_v all_o the_o courtier_n and_o king_n favourite_n at_o first_o then_o to_o trouble_v themselves_o with_o ludibrious_a election_n to_o assemble_v the_o freeholder_n together_o to_o their_o great_a labour_n and_o expense_n both_o of_o time_n and_o coin_n and_o those_o which_o be_v choose_v knight_n and_o burgess_n to_o make_v great_a preparation_n to_o take_v long_a journey_n to_o london_n themselves_o and_o their_o attendant_n to_o see_v the_o king_n and_o lord_n in_o their_o parliament_n robe_n ride_v in_o state_n to_o the_o house_n and_o with_o domitian_n to_o catch_v fly_n and_o no_o soon_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o breathe_n or_o a_o spirit_n of_o justice_n stir_v and_o discover_v in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o but_o the_o king_n send_v the_o black-rod_n and_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n and_o send_v they_o back_o again_o as_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v before_o but_o not_o with_o so_o much_o money_n in_o their_o purse_n to_o tell_v story_n to_o the_o freeholder_n of_o the_o bravery_n of_o the_o king_n and_o lord_n 3._o well_o but_o if_o this_o be_v too_o gross_a and_o that_o the_o people_n begin_v to_o murmur_v and_o clamour_n for_o another_o parliament_n than_o there_o go_v out_o another_o summons_n and_o they_o meet_v and_o sit_v for_o some_o time_n but_o to_o as_o much_o purpose_n as_o before_o for_o when_o the_o commons_o have_v present_v any_o bill_n for_o redress_n of_o a_o public_a grievance_n than_o the_o king_n have_v several_a game_n to_o play_v to_o make_v all_o fruitless_a as_o first_o his_o own_o negative_a voice_n that_o if_o lord_n and_o commons_o be_v both_o agree_v then_o he_o will_v advise_v which_o i_o know_v not_o by_o what_o strange_a doctrine_n have_v be_v of_o late_o construe_v to_o be_v a_o plain_a denial_n though_o under_o favour_n at_o the_o first_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o to_o allow_v he_o two_o or_o three_o day_n time_n to_o consider_v of_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o law_n in_o which_o time_n if_o he_o can_v not_o convince_v they_o of_o the_o injustice_n of_o it_o then_o ought_v he_o by_o his_o oath_n and_o by_o law_n to_o consent_n to_o it_o 4._o but_o if_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o king_n have_v contract_v hard_a thought_n from_o the_o people_n and_o that_o not_o only_o the_o commons_o but_o many_o of_o the_o lord_n that_o have_v the_o same_o noble_a blood_n run_v in_o their_o vein_n as_o those_o english_a baron_n who_o sword_n be_v the_o chief_a instrument_n that_o purchase_v magna_fw-la charta_fw-la then_o that_o the_o king_n may_v be_v sure_a to_o put_v some_o other_o between_o he_o and_o the_o people_n hatred_n the_o next_o prerogative_n that_o he_o pretend_v to_o have_v be_v to_o be_v the_o sole_a judge_n of_o chivalry_n to_o have_v the_o sole_a power_n of_o confer_v honour_n to_o make_v as_o many_o lord_n as_o he_o please_v that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v two_o against_o one_o if_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o multitude_n of_o burgess_n which_o he_o likewise_o pretend_v a_o power_n to_o make_v as_o many_o borough-town_n and_o corporation_n as_o he_o please_v be_v not_o pack_v also_o and_o this_o be_v that_o glorious_a privilege_n of_o the_o english_a parliament_n so_o much_o admire_v for_o just_a nothing_o for_o if_o his_o pretend_a prerogative_n may_v stand_v for_o law_n as_o be_v challenge_v by_o his_o adherent_n never_o be_v there_o a_o pure_a cheat_n put_v upon_o any_o people_n nor_o a_o more_o ready_a way_n to_o enslave_v they_o then_o by_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n be_v just_o such_o a_o mockery_n of_o the_o people_n as_o that_o mock-parliament_n at_o oxford_n be_v where_o the_o
