reasins_z why_o this_o kingdom_n ought_v to_o adhere_v to_o the_o parliament_n how_o soon_o do_v man_n forget_v the_o bygon_a time_n of_o their_o affliction_n or_o if_o they_o retain_v a_o dark_a and_o misty_a remembrance_n of_o the_o time_n past_a they_o want_v the_o discretion_n by_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o time_n present_a to_o foresee_v and_o prevent_v evil_a time_n to_o come_v and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v now_o the_o condition_n of_o we_o the_o people_n of_o england_n who_o have_v almost_o forget_v how_o our_o religion_n law_n liberty_n and_o property_n in_o our_o estate_n lay_v

this_o parliament_n and_o since_o what_o the_o faithful_a endeavour_n of_o this_o parliament_n be_v and_o what_o they_o have_v do_v already_o for_o we_o and_o at_o how_o little_a a_o charge_n

he_o read_v the_o three_o remonstrance_n the_o several_a declaration_n the_o general_a account_n of_o the_o kingdom_n publish_v by_o the_o parliament_n together_o with_o those_o most_o excellent_a

20._o consideration_n another_o paper_n entitle_v jesuit_n plot_n and_o a_o paper_n call_v a_o short_a discourse_n tend_v to_o pacification_n of_o difference_n between_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o

bad_a age_n as_o the_o shadow_n attend_v the_o body_n but_o that_o after_o so_o many_o prayer_n and_o petition_n to_o god_n for_o a_o parliament_n we_o shall_v so_o much_o forget_v his_o mercy_n our_o own_o suffering_n and_o complaint_n and_o the_o parliament_n faithful_a wise_a and_o effectual_a endeavour_n as_o to_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o a_o malignant_a party_n who_o flatter_v we_o calumniate_v they_o and_o abuse_v all_o this_o show_v we_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o adam_n apt_a to_o be_v tempt_v even_o with_o a_o apple_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o our_o inconstancy_n and_o ingratitude_n which_o may_v be_v partly_o inward_a in_o ourselves_o and_o partly_o outward_a in_o other_o 1._o inward_a in_o ourselves_o as_o first_o long_a discontinuance_n of_o parliament_n have_v fill_v this_o kingdom_n so_o full_a of_o disease_n that_o we_o grow_v weary_a of_o physic_n before_o our_o physician_n can_v perfect_v the_o cure_n and_o have_v rather_o venture_v a_o relapse_n then_o confirm_v our_o health_n by_o stir_v up_o more_o humour_n second_o because_o the_o parliament_n do_v not_o seasonable_o satisfy_v our_o anger_n with_o punishment_n of_o delinquent_n we_o be_v now_o tire_v with_o expectation_n and_o as_o angry_a with_o the._n parliament_n as_o with_o delinquent_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o and_o by_o who_o they_o be_v protect_v where_o they_o take_v sanctuary_n and_o how_o the_o multitude_n of_o offender_n their_o friend_n and_o abetter_n be_v such_o that_o hos_fw-la defendit_fw-la numerus_fw-la junctoque_fw-la umbone_n phalanges_fw-la they_o be_v too_o many_o too_o strong_a to_o be_v bring_v to_o punishment_n unless_o the_o parliament_n find_v more_o ability_n in_o themselves_o and_o more_o constancy_n in_o the_o people_n than_o they_o have_v yet_o meet_v withal_o the_o parliament_n be_v to_o be_v excuse_v second_o outward_a cause_n of_o our_o unconstancy_n and_o ingratitude_n proceed_v from_o the_o subtlety_n and_o industry_n of_o the_o malignant_a party_n who_o with_o all_o diligence_n in_o their_o report_n discourse_n writing_n and_o publication_n nay_o in_o church_n and_o pulpit_n set_v fair_a gloss_n upon_o their_o own_o foul_a action_n and_o with_o foul_a painting_n stain_v the_o fair_a merit_n of_o the_o parliament_n let_v we_o examine_v some_o of_o their_o calumny_n for_o all_o be_v impossible_a first_o the_o malignant_n observe_v we_o to_o be_v free_v from_o painful_a symptom_n and_o willing_a to_o take_v our_o rest_n and_o ease_n upon_o the_o advantage_n of_o our_o sloth_n persuade_v we_o to_o take_v this_o for_o a_o cure_n though_o the_o disease_n lie_v yet_o lurk_v in_o our_o bowel_n and_o to_o grow_v angry_a with_o and_o suspicious_a of_o our_o physician_n as_o if_o they_o keep_v we_o in_o a_o unnecessary_a course_n of_o physic_n to_o continue_v their_o power_n and_o government_n over_o we_o but_o their_o delay_n proceed_v partly_o from_o the_o throng_n of_o great_a and_o weighty_a business_n which_o like_o wave_n continual_o fall_v in_o one_o upon_o another_o hinder_v themselves_o in_o the_o crowd_n and_o principal_o from_o the_o slight_n of_o the_o malignant_n second_o the_o malignant_n object_n that_o this_o parliament_n be_v a_o burden_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n that_o they_o free_v we_o from_o taxation_n of_o shilling_n by_o imposition_n of_o pound_n by_o subsidy_n polemoney_n loan_n etc._n etc._n first_o in_o desperate_a disease_n such_o as_o the_o malignant_n have_v infect_v this_o commonwealth_n withal_o blood-letting_a be_v necessary_a the_o vein_n will_v fill_v again_o if_o the_o vital_a part_n be_v preserve_v if_o we_o contribute_v part_n of_o our_o particular_a wealth_n to_o free_v the_o commonwealth_n from_o slavery_n and_o superstition_n the_o parent_n of_o repine_a sloth_n and_o deject_a cowardice_n we_o shall_v encourage_v industry_n and_o renew_v our_o stock_n but_o if_o we_o stoop_v under_o a_o arbitrary_a government_n who_o will_v work_v that_o other_o may_v devour_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o labour_n liberty_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o industry_n &_o industry_n of_o wealth_n 2._o beside_o the_o parliament_n have_v already_o pay_v we_o liberal_o for_o all_o the_o tax_n they_o have_v make_v we_o pay_v and_o our_o payment_n be_v but_o for_o the_o present_a their_o benefit_n and_o good_a law_n be_v perpetual_a the_o abolish_n of_o superstition_n and_o reform_v our_o religion_n the_o vindicate_v our_o law_n liberty_n and_o property_n be_v inestimable_a shipmoney_n do_v yearly_a cost_n the_o kingdom_n above_o 200000._o pound_n coat_n and_o conduct_n money_n and_o other_o military_a charge_n beside_o the_o trouble_n and_o terror_n

and_o to_o reduce_v this_o well_o temper_a monarchy_n into_o a_o mere_a arbitrary_a government_n have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v in_o the_o trial_n and_o attainder_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o omit_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o faulkland_n who_o witty_o tell_v we_o the_o king_n be_v persuade_v by_o his_o divine_n that_o in_o conscience_n his_o

and_o change_v our_o state_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v for_o the_o militia_n they_o desire_v not_o to_o remove_v it_o from_o the_o king_n but_o from_o his_o subordinate_a minister_n and_o place_n it_o upon_o other_o minister_n who_o they_o suspect_v not_o and_o to_o satisfy_v the_o fear_n of_o a_o whole_a nation_n in_o time_n of_o danger_n be_v wisdom_n beside_o extraordinary_a disease_n require_v extraordinary_a cure_n the_o high_a distemper_n and_o danger_n of_o the_o kingdom_n compel_v the_o parliament_n that_o supreme_a court_n and_o counsel_n now_o desert_v by_o the_o king_n to_o
