A85519	The grand concernments of England ensured: viz. liberty of conscience, extirpation of popery, defence of property, easing of taxes, advance of trade, soveraign powers of Parliaments, reformation of religion, laws and liberties, indempnity, settlement, by a constant succession of free Parliaments, the only possible expedient to preserve us from ruine or slavery. The objections, answered; but more largely, that of a senate. With a sad expostulation, and some smart rebukes to the Army.		1659 (1659)	Wing G1492; Thomason E1001_6; ESTC R204729	70,399	77

in_o the_o progress_n take_v notice_n how_o much_o the_o call_n in_o his_o king_n will_v answer_v the_o expectation_n of_o some_o while_o he_o promise_v to_o keep_v the_o army_n up_o notwithstanding_o the_o danger_n will_v be_v over_o and_o for_o this_o end_n the_o king_n be_v the_o only_a person_n to_o raise_v tax_n and_o contribution_n they_o be_v his_o own_o word_n he_o go_v on_o to_o tell_v this_o only_a can_v secure_v their_o pay_n and_o satisfy_v their_o arrear_n very_o good_a sir_n but_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v make_v no_o scruple_n to_o pay_v we_o in_o our_o own_o coin_n he_o proceed_v no_o body_n else_o dare_v trust_v you_o as_o a_o stand_a body_n and_o endeavour_n to_o exasperate_v the_o army_n from_o the_o treatment_n they_o receive_v from_o the_o old_a protector_n but_o i_o conceive_v he_o be_v a_o single_a person_n ay_o but_o his_o king_n be_v support_v by_o his_o just_a title_n have_v no_o such_o ground_n of_o suspicion_n but_o may_v repose_v himself_o upon_o the_o loyalty_n of_o his_o people_n which_o usurper_n dare_v not_o do_v how_o now_o sir_n this_o be_v strange_a forgetfulness_n remember_v the_o late_a king_n i_o hope_v you_o deem_v he_o no_o

so_o little_a confidence_n in_o his_o parliament_n methinks_v his_o king_n shall_v con_v he_o little_a thanks_n for_o this_o unhappy_a distinction_n between_o a_o prince_n with_o a_o just_a title_n and_o a_o usurper_n more_o yet_o his_o king_n have_v a_o particular_a respect_n for_o the_o army_n yea_o in_o spite_n of_o all_o their_o rebellion_n a_o strong_a argument_n in_o good_a sooth_n oh_o
