long_o as_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o corrupt_a part_n of_o the_o clergy_n continue_v in_o their_o power_n there_o will_v be_v little_a hope_n of_o freedom_n either_o from_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o which_o continue_v or_o the_o fear_n of_o those_o which_o be_v remove_v and_o of_o this_o obstruction_n my_o lord_n i_o must_v clear_v the_o commons_o we_o be_v in_o no_o part_n guilty_a of_o

other_o whatsoever_o mischief_n this_o obstruction_n shall_v produce_v we_o be_v free_a from_o it_o we_o may_v have_v our_o part_n of_o the_o misery_n we_o can_v have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o guilt_n or_o dishonour_n 2._o the_o obstruction_n in_o trade_n it_o be_v the_o trade_n that_o bring_v food_n and_o nourishment_n to_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v that_o which_o preserve_v and_o increase_v the_o stock_n of_o the_o whole_a and_z distributes_z a_o convenient_a portion_n of_o maintenance_n to_o every_o part_n of_o it_o therefore_o such_o a_o obstruction_n as_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v

be_v take_v off_o we_o have_v free_v it_o from_o many_o hard_a restraint_n by_o patent_n and_o monopoly_n we_o have_v be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o our_o own_o privilege_n to_o give_v it_o encouragement_n we_o have_v seek_v to_o put_v the_o merchant_n into_o security_n and_o confidence_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o tower_n of_o london_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v invite_v to_o bring_v in_o their_o bullion_n to_o the_o mint_n as_o heretofore_o they_o have_v do_v and_o we_o be_v no_o way_n guilty_a of_o the_o trouble_n the_o fear_n and_o public_a danger_n which_o make_v man_n withdraw_v their_o stock_n and_o to_o keep_v their_o money_n by_o they_o to_o be_v ready_a for_o such_o sudden_a exigent_n as_o in_o these_o great_a distraction_n we_o have_v too_o much_o cause_n to_o expect_v 3._o the_o obstruction_n in_o the_o relief_n of_o ireland_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v account_v a_o great_a shame_n and_o dishonour_n to_o this_o kingdom_n that_o our_o neighbour_n have_v show_v themselves_o more_o forward_o to_o supply_v the_o rebel_n than_o we_o have_v be_v to_o relieve_v our_o distress_a brethren_n and_o fellow_n subject_n but_o i_o must_v declare_v that_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v altogether_o innocent_a of_o any_o neglect_n herein_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o first_o news_n of_o the_o rebellion_n come_v over_o we_o undertake_v the_o war_n not_o by_o way_n of_o supply_n and_o aid_n as_o in_o former_a rebellion_n the_o subject_n have_v use_v to_o do_v but_o we_o undertake_v the_o whole_a charge_n of_o it_o and_o we_o suffer_v not_o 24._o hour_n to_o pass_v before_o we_o agree_v to_o a_o great_a levy_n of_o money_n and_o man_n to_o be_v employ_v against_o the_o rebel_n even_o in_o a_o large_a proportion_n than_o the_o lord_n justice_n and_o

the_o want_n of_o commission_n for_o levy_v man_n for_o issue_v arm_n and_o divers_a other_o impediment_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o obstruction_n and_o i_o wish_v we_o have_v not_o only_o find_v impediment_n to_o ourselves_o but_o also_o encouragement_n to_o they_o many_o of_o the_o chief_a commander_n now_o in_o the_o head_n of_o the_o rebel_n after_o we_o have_v with_o your_o

and_o intention_n 4_o the_o obstruction_n in_o prosecution_n of_o delinquent_n many_o we_o have_v already_o bring_v up_o to_o your_o lordship_n divers_a other_o we_o have_v be_v discourage_v to_o

that_o for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o we_o receive_v such_o a_o general_a information_n that_o divers_a now_o in_o the_o head_n of_o the_o rebel_n be_v pass_v by_o your_o majesty_n licence_n which_o be_v true_a in_o part_n and_o easy_a to_o be_v effect_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o extent_n of_o the_o warrant_n and_o probable_a to_o be_v attempt_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o

of_o these_o person_n or_o of_o the_o warrant_n by_o which_o they_o be_v transport_v these_o we_o hope_v will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v your_o majesty_n to_o believe_v that_o as_o we_o
