his_o parliament_n to_o confess_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o design_n of_o we_o i_o mean_v who_o be_v protestant_n and_o in_o the_o king_n party_n it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o to_o accomplish_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o parliament_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o in_o our_o patent_n which_o we_o have_v obtain_v of_o his_o majesty_n and_o which_o have_v cost_v we_o dear_a and_o be_v like_a to_o be_v very_o profitable_a to_o we_o we_o therefore_o be_v loath_a to_o lay_v they_o down_o and_o forget_v the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n we_o think_v that_o his_o majesty_n may_v do_v what_o he_o please_v and_o therefore_o we_o conceive_v that_o if_o we_o can_v draw_v his_o majesty_n away_o from_o his_o parliament_n into_o some_o remote_a place_n where_o we_o may_v incense_v and_o enrage_v he_o against_o they_o by_o persuade_v he_o that_o they_o do_v abridge_v he_o of_o his_o prerogative_n and_o then_o promise_v he_o that_o to_o maintain_v his_o prerogative_n we_o will_v assist_v he_o with_o money_n horse_n and_o arm_n thereby_o to_o awe_v the_o parliament_n we_o think_v this_o be_v perform_v that_o then_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v still_o our_o unlawful_a gain_n by_o patent_n as_o we_o have_v do_v former_o so_o that_o be_v too_o much_o leaven_v with_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n doctrine_n we_o hold_v that_o if_o the_o parliament_n will_v not_o apply_v themselves_o to_o his_o majesty_n the_o king_n then_o be_v acquit_v before_o god_n and_o man_n and_o may_v make_v use_n of_o his_o prerogative_n this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o perceive_v that_o the_o parliament_n will_v endeavour_v to_o reform_v the_o church_n government_n and_o take_v away_o all_o superstitious_a worship_n out_o of_o it_o and_o that_o they_o will_v amend_v if_o not_o take_v away_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n which_o thing_n seem_v very_o grievous_a to_o we_o because_o we_o desire_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o a_o formal_a worship_n it_o be_v more_o please_v to_o the_o flesh_n and_o obey_v he_o only_o with_o the_o outward_a man_n for_o we_o think_v that_o even_o that_o be_v please_v to_o god_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v now_o be_v urge_v and_o press_v to_o a_o more_o spiritual_a worship_n which_o we_o think_v be_v quite_o against_o the_o hair_n likewise_o we_o think_v it_o a_o high_a offence_n now_o after_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n have_v be_v receive_v so_o many_o year_n that_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o condemn_v our_o forefather_n for_o the_o use_n of_o it_o by_o take_v it_o away_o we_o likewise_o hope_v that_o when_o by_o this_o design_n of_o draw_v the_o king_n away_o we_o shall_v by_o force_n effect_n for_o he_o that_o he_o may_v by_o his_o prerogative_n do_v what_o he_o please_v and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v this_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n set_v up_o not_o dream_v all_o this_o while_n that_o the_o papist_n have_v any_o plot_n in_o stir_v we_o up_o and_o likewise_o our_o blind_a and_o superstitious_a minister_n to_o stand_v up_o for_o it_o though_o indeed_o now_o we_o well_o remember_v that_o one_o say_v a_o year_n ago_o that_o they_o will_v stir_v we_o up_o to_o stand_v for_o the_o common_a prayer_n till_o they_o have_v effect_v their_o own_o end_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v popery_n set_v up_o and_o such_o a_o service_n book_n as_o they_o will_v have_v impose_v on_o scotland_n which_o now_o we_o may_v see_v be_v their_o plot_n in_o despite_n of_o a_o puritan_n parliament_n and_o all_o their_o puritan_n adherent_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o lord_n bishop_n again_o to_o curb_v those_o that_o do_v speak_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o it_o as_o they_o do_v heretofore_o esteem_v that_o they_o which_o be_v such_o great_a scholar_n be_v the_o only_a churchman_n and_o all_o that_o which_o they_o do_v to_o be_v divine_a and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o observe_v it_o this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n but_o now_o we_o see_v that_o they_o make_v use_v of_o we_o and_o our_o design_n but_o for_o their_o own_o end_n for_o they_o have_v a_o deep_a plot_n and_o design_n then_o in_o hand_n then_o that_o we_o be_v aware_a of_o which_o we_o find_v now_o to_o be_v this_o that_o they_o endeavour_v to_o make_v a_o division_n betwixt_o we_o that_o be_v as_o yet_o but_o protestant_n in_o name_n and_o those_o that_o be_v protestant_n in_o heart_n that_o so_o we_o dash_v ourselves_o one_o against_o another_o both_o party_n may_v be_v consume_v and_o then_o when_o we_o be_v so_o weaken_v they_o know_v it_o will_v be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o they_o to_o destroy_v both_o party_n that_o this_o be_v their_o design_n we_o shall_v make_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o these_o many_o year_n they_o have_v by_o mean_n of_o some_o near_a to_o the_o king_n have_v familiar_a recourse_n to_o the_o court_n there_o to_o agitate_v and_o further_o any_o design_n that_o they_o have_v and_o likewise_o be_v much_o countenance_v and_o favour_v as_o mr._n prin_n in_o his_o late_a book_n at_o large_a set_v forth_o that_o they_o have_v their_o agent_n at_o court_n consist_v not_o only_o of_o jesuit_n and_o priest_n but_o even_o of_o our_o own_o bishop_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v father_n to_o uphold_v our_o religion_n they_o have_v be_v chief_a incendiary_n to_o set_v the_o protestant_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n and_o the_o bishop_n of_o canterbury_n by_o name_n have_v employ_v a_o jesuit_n and_o a_o papist_n to_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o romish_a religion_n as_o it_o be_v lay_v to_o his_o charge_n in_o his_o article_n of_o impeachment_n now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o be_v the_o design_n that_o they_o prosecute_v because_o first_o they_o do_v according_a as_o they_o dare_v in_o word_n and_o writing_n disgrace_v the_o profession_n and_o professor_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n thereby_o to_o cause_v profane_a people_n to_o hate_v those_o that_o be_v more_o forward_o in_o religion_n then_o themselves_o 2._o because_o they_o can_v endure_v any_o that_o be_v of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n neither_o be_v they_o to_o keep_v faith_n with_o we_o as_o their_o religion_n teach_v they_o who_o be_v protestant_n but_o they_o may_v murder_v and_o destroy_v we_o and_o for_o so_o do_v they_o merit_v heaven_n then_o sure_o it_o be_v very_a madness_n and_o folly_n in_o we_o to_o think_v that_o they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o establish_v the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n which_o they_o call_v heresy_n and_o howsoever_o although_o we_o can_v endure_v their_o religion_n practise_v by_o both_o great_a and_o small_a among_o we_o yet_o if_o they_o prevail_v they_o will_v not_o leave_v one_o that_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o a_o protestant_a alive_a in_o our_o kingdom_n witness_n what_o they_o have_v do_v in_o ireland_n to_o the_o protestant_n there_o 3._o because_o now_o their_o plot_n do_v discover_v itself_o by_o bring_v the_o irish_a force_n over_o first_o the_o protestant_a force_n that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o oppose_v they_o there_o but_o come_v over_o into_o england_n to_o waste_v themselves_o and_o such_o protestant_a force_n as_o be_v here_o before_o and_o now_o they_o bring_v o_o you_o malignant_n and_o all_o my_o fellow_n cavalier_n open_v your_o eye_n the_o irish_a rebel_n that_o have_v kill_v so_o many_o thousand_o protestant_n in_o ireland_n into_o england_n daily_o for_o to_o cut_v our_o throat_n so_o that_o now_o we_o may_v see_v that_o whatsoever_o colour_n they_o put_v upon_o their_o design_n by_o persuade_v we_o that_o the_o king_n fight_v for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o his_o prerogative_n and_o that_o they_o that_o be_v papist_n do_v but_o assist_v he_o for_o the_o accomplish_n of_o the_o same_o against_o those_o which_o they_o and_o we_o call_v puritan_n yet_o they_o do_v indeed_o intend_v to_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o command_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o so_o to_o take_v away_o the_o king_n prerogative_n that_o he_o will_v be_v subject_a to_o he_o and_o so_o although_o his_o majesty_n do_v indeed_o intend_v the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n yet_o they_o prevail_a he_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o establish_v it_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v the_o true_a cause_n why_o we_o do_v now_o forsake_v their_o proceed_n and_o publish_v it_o to_o this_o intent_n that_o other_o that_o still_o prosecute_v the_o design_n that_o we_o do_v may_v now_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o papist_n how_o they_o make_v use_n of_o we_o to_o our_o own_o destruction_n and_o then_o i_o hope_v you_o likewise_o will_v forsake_v they_o as_o many_o already_o have_v do_v who_o be_v different_a from_o we_o in_o their_o person_n but_o more_o in_o their_o affection_n and_o let_v we_o now_o make_v use_n of_o what_o we_o see_v they_o do_v for_o our_o best_a advantage_n and_o that_o be_v this_o whereas_o we_o see_v they_o encourage_v and_o countenance_v and_o help_v they_o that_o be_v zealous_a in_o their_o false_a religion_n so_o let_v we_o now_o unite_v ourselves_o to_o those_o that_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o as_o much_o countenance_n encourage_v and_o help_v they_o both_o by_o our_o person_n and_o prayer_n and_o in_o particular_a this_o parliament_n which_o they_o have_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o cause_v we_o so_o much_o to_o oppose_v for_o sure_a have_v not_o god_n raise_v they_o up_o as_o instrument_n to_o stand_v for_o this_o nation_n we_o have_v be_v all_o lose_v and_o this_o be_v my_o persuasion_n and_o my_o resolution_n be_v to_o adhere_v to_o the_o
