begin_n of_o this_o parliament_n and_o if_o they_o may_v be_v secure_a from_o all_o future_a violence_n in_o their_o life_n estate_n and_o fortune_n both_o themselves_o and_o their_o posterity_n for_o ever_o for_o transact_v such_o thing_n as_o his_o majesty_n do_v apprehend_v they_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v do_v against_o himself_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o their_o fellow-subject_n that_o then_o such_o a_o security_n if_o the_o people_n can_v understand_v it_o and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v make_v plain_a unto_o they_o will_v prove_v a_o open_a door_n for_o a_o safe_a treaty_n at_o least_o if_o not_o for_o a_o safe_a and_o wellgrounded_n peace_n to_o enter_v in_o at_o and_o i_o presume_v i_o be_o not_o much_o mistake_v in_o this_o so_o now_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o proposition_n which_o i_o have_v frame_v and_o which_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o his_o majesty_n will_v free_o offer_v at_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o this_o kingdom_n the_o piety_n of_o the_o prince_n not_o the_o policy_n of_o the_o people_n must_v make_v a_o safe_a and_o wellgrounded_n peace_n the_o king_n to_o grant_v first_o a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n as_o strong_a as_o can_v be_v devise_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o life_n estate_n and_o fortune_n of_o themselves_o and_o their_o posterity_n that_o have_v any_o way_n offend_v the_o king_n or_o their_o fellow-subject_n from_o anno_fw-la 1640._o until_o the_o pass_n of_o this_o act._n second_o the_o king_n to_o confirm_v that_o act_n by_o a_o solemn_a oath_n draw_v in_o the_o most_o strict_a manner_n that_o may_v be_v and_o this_o to_o be_v do_v in_o public_a for_o the_o better_a satisfaction_n of_o the_o people_n and_o a_o short_a covenant_n without_o any_o ambiguity_n to_o be_v understand_v ad_fw-la literam_fw-la to_o be_v contain_v in_o a_o few_o line_n for_o the_o king_n to_o take_v and_o the_o people_n also_o reciprocal_o and_o this_o will_v make_v both_o prince_n and_o people_n happy_a and_o this_o oath_n and_o covenant_n to_o be_v confirm_v in_o public_a by_o the_o sacrament_n and_o declare_v to_o all_o the_o people_n in_o print_n and_o thus_o do_v he_o will_v be_v a_o glorious_a king_n belove_v both_o of_o god_n and_o man_n the_o queen_n to_o take_v the_o like_a oath_n the_o sacrament_n must_v be_v give_v by_o she_o own_o priest_n and_o this_o do_v in_o the_o
