have_v persuade_v we_o that_o by_o a_o certain_a hocus_n pocus_fw-la trick_n they_o be_v metamorphize_v into_o a_o parliament_n you_o see_v plain_o that_o they_o be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o riotous_a assembly_n who_o transaction_n be_v in_o themselves_o null_a and_o void_a as_o be_v contrary_a to_o law_n and_o censurable_a by_o law_n and_o therefore_o your_o second-first-no_a

you_o shall_v go_v and_o put_v ten_o thousand_o nothing_o together_o still_o all_o will_v amount_v to_o just_a nothing_o but_o to_o secure_v this_o your_o weak_a or_o rather_o wicked_a plea_n against_o a_o just_a objection_n obvious_a to_o every_o eye_n you_o add_v that_o though_o king_n james_n abroad_o condemn_v they_o yet_o that_o be_v no_o argument_n either_o that_o they_o be_v

the_o estate_n if_o they_o please_v may_v alter_v the_o tenure_n or_o dispose_v of_o it_o to_o another_o but_o pray_v sir_n answer_v i_o two_o question_n first_o who_o make_v your_o estate_n judge_n second_o whether_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o follow_v their_o judgement_n against_o manifest_a right_n and_o my_o know_a duty_n but_o after_o all_o this_o be_v a_o most_o malicious_a insinuation_n

that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o thing_n which_o if_o it_o can_v be_v have_v ought_v to_o be_v do_v and_o in_o all_o regular_a time_n be_v do_v richard_n the_o first_o be_v engage_v in_o the_o holy_a

easy_o perceive_v that_o i_o be_o as_o ready_a to_o conclude_v the_o quite_o contrary_a that_o the_o church_n remain_v with_o we_o with_o who_o be_v the_o true_a authority_n that_o in_o erect_v

and_o support_v the_o false_a against_o it_o and_o that_o as_o you_o be_v schismatic_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o frequent_v your_o public_a assembly_n nor_o have_v any_o ecclesiastical_a communion_n with_o you_o other_o than_o to_o convince_v you_o of_o your_o sin_n and_o persuade_v you_o to_o repentance_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o as_o you_o have_v any_o tenderness_n for_o your_o own_o and_o

either_o you_o or_o my_o concurrence_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o wonder_v why_o you_o shall_v make_v such_o a_o lie_n when_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v you_o for_o a_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v
