certain_a uncertain_a proposal_n from_o freeborn_a subject_n of_o england_n to_o his_o excellency_n sir_n thomas_n fairfax_n as_o they_o be_v present_v aug._n 9_o 1647._o at_o croyden_n in_o surrey_n we_o earnest_o desire_v the_o king_n most_o excellent_a majesty_n may_v immediate_o be_v bring_v to_o london_n with_o honour_n there_o at_o pleasure_n to_o reside_v with_o safety_n and_o freedom_n according_a to_o promise_n and_o our_o just_a expectation_n we_o likewise_o desire_v that_o a_o firm_a and_o last_a peace_n may_v be_v speedy_o settle_v in_o this_o kingdom_n which_o can_v be_v if_o the_o king_n be_v spoil_v of_o his_o indisputable_a right_n and_o not_o restore_v to_o his_o wish_a greatness_n we_o desire_v that_o such_o member_n of_o par._n as_o have_v vent_v any_o speech_n seditious_a &_o treasonous_a may_v besuspend_v from_o sit_v in_o the_o house_n &_o try_v according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o believe_v the_o subject_n shall_v be_v right_v in_o their_o freedom_n if_o there_o be_v not_o high_a regard_n have_v to_o the_o king_n person_n and_o honour_n it_o be_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o nation_n to_o bear_v our_o king_n high_a to_o make_v he_o glorious_a be_v to_o render_v he_o formidable_a to_o other_o prince_n it_o be_v much_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o sir_n thomas_n fairfax_n in_o who_o power_n it_o be_v alone_o to_o raise_v he_o to_o such_o splendour_n and_o height_n that_o his_o cloud_a and_o discountenance_v subject_n receive_v a_o gracious_a influence_n from_o the_o sprightly_a beam_n of_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n may_v be_v revive_v and_o cherish_v and_o we_o acknowledge_v sir_n thomas_n fairfax_n as_o the_o beginner_n so_o the_o perfect_a and_o finisher_n of_o our_o peace_n and_o happiness_n these_o be_v our_o desire_n our_o fear_n follow_v we_o just_o fear_v that_o while_o his_o excellency_n contend_v to_o bring_v his_o majesty_n to_o london_n whether_o the_o parliament_n and_o city_n will_v or_o no_o and_o they_o declare_v and_o vote_v he_o to_o come_v whether_o his_o excellency_n will_v or_o no_o the_o king_n in_o the_o agreement_n will_v be_v leave_v unconsidered_a and_o we_o forfeit_v our_o hope_n and_o expectation_n we_o likewise_o fear_v as_o we_o have_v too_o sad_a occasion_n that_o a_o new_a war_n will_v be_v settle_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o old_a peace_n and_o our_o lose_a dispirited_a island_n embark_v in_o a_o second_o adventure_n on_o a_o sea_n of_o blood_n till_o we_o suffer_v shipwreck_n and_o utter_a ruin_n we_o sad_o fear_v the_o bad_a design_n of_o these_o that_o so_o bold_o assume_v to_o themselves_o we_o sad_o fear_v the_o bad_a design_n of_o these_o that_o so_o bold_o assume_v to_o themselves_o a_o liberty_n to_o traduce_v his_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o the_o worse_a effect_n it_o may_v take_v on_o some_o desperate_a villain_n while_o such_o remain_v unpunished_a unquestioned_a we_o fear_v the_o danger_n the_o delay_n may_v bring_v that_o a_o peace_n so_o cold_o follow_v may_v give_v advantage_n to_o a_o diligent_a and_o overactive_a party_n to_o imbroil_n in_o a_o second_o more_o fierce_a and_o terrible_a war_n we_o fear_v the_o worst_a that_o our_o peace_n be_v not_o nigh_o that_o we_o be_v not_o right_o qualify_v to_o entertain_v she_o nor_o yet_o bring_v low_a enough_o to_o receive_v so_o high_a a_o blessing_n we_o fear_v that_o if_o the_o king_n be_v not_o settle_v so_o well_o as_o the_o kingdom_n there_o be_v no_o good_a intention_n to_o either_o we_o fear_v god_n we_o honour_v and_o obey_v the_o king_n certain_a hope_n to_o sustain_v comfort_n and_o confirm_v a_o timorous_a and_o fearful_a mind_n we_o hope_v the_o worst_a be_v past_a we_o hope_v sir_n thomas_n fairfax_n will_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n bring_v the_o king_n to_o london_n with_o honour_n safety_n and_o freedom_n we_o hope_v to_o see_v it_o sudden_o without_o which_o we_o can_v hope_v for_o no_o good_a we_o hope_v it_o be_v not_o the_o intent_n of_o this_o al-conquering_a army_n to_o diminish_v much_o less_o to_o extinguish_v the_o glorious_a lamp_n of_o majesty_n be_v so_o well_o assure_v if_o the_o king_n burn_v dim_a his_o people_n will_v go_v out_o like_o the_o snuff_n of_o a_o candle_n if_o majesty_n be_v deface_v in_o the_o royal_a stamp_n his_o subject_n will_v not_o pass_v for_o currant_n coin_n we_o hope_v to_o see_v the_o king_n in_o his_o full_a greatness_n and_o splendot_n and_o that_o his_o excellency_n will_v add_v to_o his_o glory_n not_o subtract_v nor_o clip_v the_o wing_n of_o majesty_n we_o hope_v his_o excellency_n will_v make_v good_a all_o his_o promise_n in_o his_o declaration_n and_o much_o more_o we_o hope_v to_o see_v it_o perform_v speedy_o without_o delay_n and_o be_v it_o not_o for_o these_o hope_n our_o heart_n will_v break_v certain_a pertinent_a and_o necessary_a query_n q._n whether_o the_o freeborn_a people_n of_o england_n will_v ever_o tolerate_v any_o toleration_n of_o covernment_n in_o this_o kind_n or_o they_o will_v not_o be_v impatient_a of_o any_o thought_n to_o destroy_v monarchy_n who_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o burden_n light_n q._n whether_o monarchy_n can_v be_v destroy_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n who_o numerous_a issue_n give_v assurance_n we_o can_v be_v happy_a in_o any_o other_o government_n q._n whether_o the_o whole_a world_n will_v not_o rise_v to_o revenge_v any_o violence_n do_v to_o his_o majesty_n sacred_a person_n as_o have_v be_v often_o threaten_v and_o whether_o every_o good_a subject_n hate_v the_o impious_a thought_n of_o so_o horrid_a a_o act_n ought_v not_o to_o endeavour_v the_o bring_n of_o such_o to_o condign_a punishment_n q._n whether_o it_o be_v not_o the_o best_a way_n to_o settle_v the_o kingdom_n in_o a_o firm_a peace_n first_o to_o seat_n and_o establish_v the_o king_n in_o his_o royal_a throne_n without_o which_o our_o preposterous_a peace_n can_v be_v last_v q._n whether_o the_o
