That he had a Soul to save and that he was not satisfied in point of Law conscience or prudence that they could sit again B●t at last when he considered he had an estate to ●ave as he told another Friend that over-ballanced all his former Objections and made him and other M●mbers act against their judgements consciences and to forg●t our Savio●rs sad Q●aeres Mat. 16.26 What is a man profited if he should gain the whole world and lose his own Soul O● what shall a man give in exchange for his soul With that of Jer. 5.29.31 Shall I not visit for these things Shall not my soul be avenged on such a Nation as this And what will ye do in the end thereof To fill up the Vacant Pages of this sheet I shall propose 7.

Whether those Interloping Members Elected since the Kings beheading and old Parliaments dissolution by his death by Writs only in the name of the Gaolers of the Liberties of England can fit act or joyne with the Tayl of the old Commons House elected only by the beheaded Kings Writs and so owning his Royal Authority in Deeds though abjuring it Kingship by their Declarations Votes Knacks Ingagements and new-coined Oathes Whether such a strange model as this be not a Violation of Deut. 22.9 10 11.
