refuse_v the_o common_a title_n of_o protector_n be_v i_o suppose_v this_o that_o as_o general_n he_o stand_v in_o a_o special_a relation_n to_o honest_a man_n as_o divide_v from_o their_o enemy_n

will_v be_v no_o strange_a thing_n to_o he_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o these_o time_n we_o have_v be_v little_a but_o change_n we_o have_v change_v from_o three_o state_n to_o two_o from_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o to_z lord_n and_o commons_o for_o a_o while_o they_o govern_v we_o and_o then_o we_o turn_v from_o two_o to_o one_o the_o commons_z only_o without_o king_n and_o lord_n and_o this_o have_v be_v turn_v purge_v dress_v break_v and_o patch_v up_o again_o divers_a time_n and_o way_n these_o be_v great_a change_n of_o government_n but_o a_o great_a yet_o follow_v when_o the_o remnant_n of_o the_o old_a parliament_n be_v take_v away_o that_o wherein_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n in_o call_v and_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n in_o choose_v meet_v in_o one_o

own_o will_n create_v a_o parliament_n now_o all_o civil_a power_n be_v change_v into_o military_n and_o that_o triumph_v in_o the_o high_a absoluteness_n as_o if_o the_o sword_n be_v the_o only_a

it_o please_v yet_o this_o change_n do_v not_o so_o much_o astonish_v you_o for_o some_o of_o you_o be_v member_n of_o this_o parliament_n neither_o have_v you_o reason_n to_o be_v offend_v at_o this_o because_o by_o this_o change_n your_o way_n have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o put_v in_o its_o claim_n to_o power_n this_o be_v the_o vertical_a point_n the_o next_o change_n be_v rather_o downward_o again_o into_o a_o instrument_n which_o set_v up_o one_o as_o supreme_a and_o a_o parliament_n choose_v by_o the_o people_n this_o be_v not_o altogether_o so_o strange_a to_o england_n as_o the_o former_a now_o which_o of_o these_o you_o mean_v i_o know_v not_o to_o complain_v of_o the_o former_a change_n from_o the_o long_a parliament_n to_o the_o little_a parliament_n be_v against_o your_o own_o interest_n and_o to_o complain_v of_o a_o change_n from_o a_o parliament_n impose_v to_o a_o parliament_n choose_v be_v against_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o people_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o to_o resolve_v which_o of_o these_o change_n do_v affect_v you_o most_o many_o be_v offend_v at_o the_o take_v away_o the_o old_a parliament_n and_o that_o cause_v you_o seem_v to_o

concern_v it_o that_o long_a parliament_n deserve_v to_o be_v mention_v with_o much_o honour_n by_o all_o honest_a man_n in_o the_o nation_n that_o do_v adhere_v to_o it_o for_o that_o it_o have_v

legal_a constitution_n nor_o have_v they_o right_o to_o the_o government_n by_o our_o law_n what_o right_o have_v they_o to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n and_o office_n of_o a_o king_n by_o who_o authority_n they_o be_v make_v a_o parliament_n or_o what_o right_o have_v they_o to_o take_v away_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n a_o constitution_n ancient_a than_o themselves_o when_o this_o be_v do_v what_o just_a power_n have_v they_o to_o constitute_v themselves_o a_o commonwealth_n there_o be_v no_o act_n of_o the_o people_n that_o either_o make_v they_o so_o or_o give_v they_o power_n to_o

and_o his_o providence_n now_o if_o the_o parliament_n do_v assume_v the_o government_n without_o any_o rule_n or_o authority_n and_o impose_v it_o and_o themselves_o upon_o the_o people_n and_o so_o upon_o the_o army_n what_o law_n be_v break_v in_o pull_v down_o that_o which_o stand_v not_o by_o law_n ii_o that_o government_n such_o a_o constitution_n as_o it_o have_v be_v from_o the_o army_n the_o army_n urge_v they_o to_o do_v justice_n upon_o the_o king_n which_o they_o neither_o can_v nor_o dare_v do_v themselves_o for_o they_o and_o eveny_v rational_a man_n must_v confess_v that_o
