A92404	The converts letter to his old freinds. Or The apologie of a commander of the Kings party, for diserting of that party, and bearing armes for the Parliament. Wherein is shewed, that those pretences of defending the Protestant religion, the fundamentall lawes, the liberties of the subjects, &c. on that party, are but specious. What Irish, and papists, have been honoured & cheifly intrusted. How if that army doth conquer, as it is now moulded, popery and tiranny, of necessity must be introduced. Withe the lawfulnesse of bearing defensive armes by the Parliament. Printed and published according to order.	W. R.	1645 (1645)	Wing R94; Thomason E260_43; ESTC R212471	7,823	11

because_o they_o be_v engage_v among_o you_o person_n of_o great_a honour_n and_o fortune_n repute_v good_a protestant_n who_o i_o think_v in_o this_o monarchical_a government_n settle_v by_o law_n

the_o same_o opinion_n of_o the_o reality_n of_o the_o king_n own_o intention_n in_o the_o same_o still_o though_o i_o be_o otherwise_o satisfy_v of_o his_o power_n in_o performance_n thereof_o for_o when_o i_o consider_v 1._o what_o power_n and_o influence_n a_o belove_a queen_n may_v have_v on_o the_o king_n action_n which_o be_v solomon_n case_n and_o our_o sad_a experience_n can_v witness_v

by_o plunder_v and_o otherwise_o be_v rather_o palliate_v then_o punish_v and_o all_o law_n but_o what_o the_o will_n of_o every_o man_n by_o the_o sword_n do_v administer_v become_v dead_a letter_n 7._o that_o such_o number_n of_o auxiliary_a force_n as_o papist_n french_a irish_a dutch_a etc._n etc._n be_v bring_v in_o and_o entrust_v when_o as_o protestant_n be_v suspect_v put_v forth_o and_o
