day_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n how_o good_a a_o defender_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n prerogative_n be_v before_o the_o parliament_n you_o have_v a_o little_a breviat_fw-la at_o the_o beginning_n and_o how_o good_a a_o defence_n she_o be_v like_a to_o make_v for_o the_o future_a we_o see_v by_o the_o instrument_n she_o choose_v to_o defend_v it_o papist_n enemy_n and_o prelate_n trautor_n to_o religion_n but_o her_o solemn_a protestation_n must_v be_v believe_v well_o then_o let_v we_o admit_v the_o utmost_a of_o those_o protestation_n and_o the_o result_n be_v this_o the_o same_o religion_n and_o the_o same_o ecclesiastical_a government_n that_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n be_v that_o pitch_n of_o reformation_n which_o prerogative_n will_v consent_v to_o and_o maintain_v but_o one_o jot_n further_o it_o will_v not_o go_v and_o why_o shall_v not_o this_o content_a the_o parliament_n as_o well_o as_o the_o kingdom_n be_v not_o the_o time_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n the_o happy_a that_o ever_o england_n see_v to_o this_o the_o parliament_n and_o all_o good_a man_n answer_n that_o in_o the_o hegin_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n reign_n she_o choose_v such_o man_n to_o be_v bishop_n for_o the_o most_o part_n as_o have_v suffer_v persecution_n for_o the_o telamonie_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o queen_n mary_n day_n and_o by_o such_o suffering_n have_v both_o evidence_v their_o fidelity_n to_o christ_n their_o master_n and_o learn_v compassion_n towards_o the_o church_n their_o brethren_n the_o succeed_a bishop_n be_v something_o worse_a but_o civil_a authority_n be_v then_o so_o active_a to_o suppress_v popery_n and_o encourage_v good_a minister_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n that_o a_o slender_a and_o insufficient_a ecclesiastical_a government_n may_v not_o be_v much_o take_v notice_n of_o but_o now_o we_o have_v a_o popish_a queen_n that_o have_v a_o great_a influence_n into_o the_o civil_a state_n we_o have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o dissolute_a and_o degenerate_a clergy_n that_o have_v once_o already_o betray_v and_o persecute_a religion_n and_o yet_o now_o we_o must_v have_v no_o better_a guard_n for_o religion_n than_o the_o not_o unchaste_a because_o untempted_a prelacy_n in_o the_o time_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n it_o be_v hard_a usage_n because_o i_o need_v not_o any_o cloak_n when_o the_o sun_n shine_v to_o keep_v it_o from_o i_o in_o a_o storm_n or_o because_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n i_o walk_v unarm_v to_o put_v i_o naked_a in_o the_o front_n of_o a_o battle_n sure_o in_o this_o which_o be_v the_o great_a matter_n of_o all_o other_o the_o parliament_n be_v to_o be_v justify_v that_o they_o seek_v another_o manner_n of_o defence_n for_o religion_n now_o then_o in_o the_o day_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o in_o that_o they_o set_v not_o any_o time_n or_o person_n to_o be_v a_o standard_n of_o reformation_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o reformation_n of_o the_o church_n both_o in_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n and_o this_o i_o suppose_v be_v satisfactory_a to_o the_o first_o we_o will_v proceed_v to_o weigh_v the_o two_o other_o promise_n of_o prerogative_n it_o will_v defend_v the_o property_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n according_a to_o the_o old_a and_o new_a law_n and_o it_o will_v defend_v the_o just_a privilege_n of_o parliament_n to_o satisfy_v for_o this_o we_o must_v always_o direct_v our_o eye_n and_o fix_v they_o upon_o prerogatives_n self_n by_o consider_v what_o she_o be_v by_o nature_n rather_o than_o what_o she_o speak_v by_o art_n and_o to_o discover_v the_o nature_n of_o prerogative_n we_o must_v consider_v what_o her_o constant_a action_n be_v how_o she_o carry_v herself_o when_o her_o motion_n proceed_v only_o from_o her_o own_o internal_a disposition_n when_o she_o be_v a_o free_a agent_n without_o any_o interposition_n of_o true_a necessity_n fear_n or_o danger_n for_o then_o and_o then_o only_o she_o act_v herself_o and_o how_o can_v you_o have_v a_o better_a and_o full_a discovery_n of_o her_o disposition_n then_o by_o her_o constant_a course_n of_o proceed_n before_o this_o parliament_n set_v down_o at_o large_a in_o the_o parliament_n remonstrance_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o which_o from_o the_o people_n

house_n that_o the_o debate_n of_o publish_v it_o be_v two_o several_a time_n protract_v ●ill_o midnight_n the_o resolution_n curry_v but_o by_o 11._o voice_n and_o the_o print_n of_o it_o 〈◊〉_d

redress_v and_o endeavour_v for_o a_o remedy_n nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a to_o the_o design_n of_o prerogative_n who_o have_v former_o blind_v their_o eye_n by_o suppress_v preach_v and_o the_o law_n and_o find_v their_o stand_n by_o take_v away_o property_n &_o liberty_n that_o thus_o blind_a fold_n and_o bind_v they_o may_v be_v carry_v at_o pleasure_n by_o their_o stand_n leader_n till_o both_o fell_a into_o the_o ditch_n this_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o blind_a be_v the_o sedition_n and_o faction_n of_o parliament_n for_o this_o after_o their_o former_a dissolution_n

a_o grievance_n by_o give_v money_n in_o the_o first_o place_n with_o out_z redress_n or_o speech_n of_o their_o grievance_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o nature_n of_o prerogative_n but_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o unparalleled_a act_n of_o grace_n grant_v this_o parliament_n may_v just_o challenge_v not_o only_a oblivion_n of_o these_o thing_n past_a but_o confidence_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v that_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o judgement_n of_o prerogative_n be_v change_v from_o the_o good_a law_n grant_v this_o parliament_n this_o conclusion_n follow_v very_o natural_o that_o it_o be_v happy_a for_o the_o kingdom_n when_o the_o king_n concur_v with_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o parliament_n but_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v hardly_o follow_v from_o thence_o that_o prerogative_n be_v regenerate_v there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o balance_n of_o those_o gracious_a grant_n beside_o good_a nature_n the_o presence_n of_o the_o scotch_a army_n which_o cause_v
