motion_n very_o often_o sometime_o a_o month_n or_o five_o week_n sometime_o more_o and_o all_o at_o our_o own_o charge_n without_o any_o allowance_n from_o the_o state_n or_o one_o penny_n

upon_o charles_n stuart_n and_o his_o crew_n kent_n and_o essex_n do_v join_v with_o the_o old_a cavalier_n and_o raise_v a_o new_a war_n we_o do_v not_o only_o keep_v our_o own_o county_n at_o quiet_a but_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o help_v other_o and_o do_v never_o forsake_v our_o first_o principle_n viz_o common_a right_n and_o freedom_n and_o whereas_o there_o be_v great_a complain_v of_o party_n carry_v on_o the_o design_n of_o charles_n stuart_n under_o the_o name_n of_o leveller_n we_o be_v sure_o this_o can_v be_v speak_v by_o we_o who_o never_o appear_v direct_o or_o indirect_o in_o his_o design_n but_o we_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n that_o we_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o enjoy_v what_o these_o man_n declare_v principle_n hold_v forth_o for_o their_o intention_n if_o they_o

true_o sensible_a of_o it_o but_o in_o answer_n to_o what_o be_v say_v to_o be_v do_v viz_o in_o take_v away_o his_o commission_n star-chamber-court_n ship-money_n and_o monopoly_n project_n and_o purveyancy_n and_o the_o court_n of_o ward_n answer_v ward_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v they_o be_v all_o take_v away_o except_o the_o court_n of_o ward_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o parliament_n before_o any_o contest_v with_o charles_n stuart_n with_o the_o sword_n and_o use_v as_o a_o argument_n to_o induce_v we_o to_o assist_v the_o parliament_n against_o charles_n stuart_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a this_o be_v just_a nothing_o in_o answer_n to_o our_o expectatation_n ground_v upon_o the_o parliament_n declaration_n which_o be_v make_v before_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o true_o this_o be_v but_o a_o small_a requital_n for_o our_o service_n and_o expense_n this_o be_v all_o pay_v for_o before_o by_o way_n of_o subsidy_n and_o for_o the_o court_n of_o ward_n we_o acknowledge_v it_o have_v be_v take_v away_o since_o but_o we_o desire_v to_o know_v if_o this_o become_v those_o who_o say_v they_o be_v and_o desire_v to_o prove_v themselves_o good_a patriot_n

who_o interest_n be_v in_o the_o people_n oppression_n and_o that_o the_o most_o of_o those_o that_o do_v adhere_v to_o the_o parliament_n be_v not_o great_a man_n but_o such_o as_o be_v oppress_v by_o great_a man_n either_o in_o coppyholds_a or_o tithe_n or_o by_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o lawyer_n who_o caterpillar-like_a eat_v and_o devour_v all_o they_o possible_o can_v not_o regard_v

for_o the_o end_n before_o mention_v and_o whereas_o there_o be_v much_o say_v about_o some_o man_n go_v into_o egypt_n under_o pharaoh_n oppression_n we_o declare_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o we_o be_v resolve_v never_o to_o look_v back_o to_o pharaoh_n bondage_n again_o we_o confess_v we_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o wilderness_n and_o there_o we_o meet_v with_o hardship_n and_o

and_o the_o wall_n high_a so_o now_o many_o say_v in_o the_o way_n to_o common_a freedom_n there_o be_v the_o giant_n of_o self-interest_n lord_n of_o manor_n and_o impropriator_n and_o lawyer_n now_o in_o power_n who_o will_v never_o y●eld_v to_o let_v the_o people_n go_v free_a in_o this_o we_o shall_v like_o joshuah_n and_o caleb_n rest_n upon_o that_o god_n who_o bring_v we_o thus_o near_o to_o the_o promise_a land_n to_o bring_v we_o into_o the_o possession_n of_o our_o deer_n buy_v liberty_n and_o though_o we_o be_v now_o in_o strait_n and_o trouble_n in_o the_o wilderness_n yet_o if_o ever_o god_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o raise_v we_o up_o a_o joshuah_n to_o go_v before_o we_o we_o mean_v a_o new_a and_o equal_a representative_a choose_v and_o elect_v upon_o the_o ground_n of_o

if_o any_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v a_o parliament_n already_o fire_v to_o this_o we_o answer_v in_o our_o understanding_n there_o can_v be_v none_o for_o we_o be_v sure_a if_o there_o be_v there_o ought_v to_o be_v some_o elect_v by_o we_o to_o treat_v for_o we_o in_o thing_n concern_v our_o freedom_n and_o liberty_n which_o we_o sensible_o know_v there_o be_v not_o and_o therefore_o of_o

that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o account_n give_v of_o their_o money_n and_o true_o we_o say_v none_o need_v to_o tell_v we_o of_o our_o burden_n or_o oppression_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o for_o they_o be_v so_o heavy_a that_o we_o feel_v they_o sufficient_o and_o for_o account_n we_o believe_v that_o those_o who_o share_v the_o nation_n treasure_n among_o themselves_o by_o hundred_o and_o

which_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o parliament_n be_v so_o much_o cry_v down_o for_o cruelty_n when_o it_o be_v do_v by_o charles_n stuart_n but_o true_o we_o declare_v to_o those_o man_n who_o sit_v to_o do_v such_o act_n that_o they_o will_v have_v get_v as_o much_o credit_n and_o love_n if_o they_o have_v spend_v that_o time_n to_o have_v do_v some_o good_a action_n for_o the_o nation_n which_o they_o spend_v to_o destroy_v honest_a man_n that_o have_v stand_v always_o for_o common_a good_a and_o take_v notice_n also_o of_o a_o thing_n call_v a_o act_n for_o take_v the_o engagement_n we_o declare_v our_o resolution_n at_o once_o for_o stand_v against_o king_n or_o kingly_a power_n we_o be_v full_o resolve_v upon_o the_o ground_n of_o reason_n that_o government_n be_v tyrannical_a vexatious_a and_o very_o chargeable_a and_o for_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n we_o be_v the_o like_a for_o when_o we_o have_v a_o parliament_n although_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o make_v but_o few_o good_a motion_n for_o we_o yet_o we_o always_o find_v the_o lord_n obstruct_v and_o hinder_v and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v to_o the_o utmost_a endeavour_n against_o they_o but_o to_o engage_v to_o

or_o a_o government_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n which_o if_o it_o continue_v be_v very_o tedious_a to_o we_o but_o put_v the_o case_n there_o be_v a_o just_a government_n settle_v which_o we_o see_v none_o yet_o in_o reason_n we_o can_v not_o engage_v to_o stand_v to_o it_o because_o we_o have_v no_o man_n impower_v by_o we_o that_o have_v bad_a any_o hand_n in_o make_v or_o
