be_v beyond_o question_n to_o ask_v by_o what_o law_n or_o authority_n the_o army_n can_v dissolve_v the_o parliament_n they_o be_v obedient_a while_o they_o set_v they_o in_o power_n over_o they_o but_o when_o they_o think_v of_o change_v their_o master_n they_o may_v do_v it_o without_o breach_n of_o any_o law_n where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n and_o have_v the_o good_a people_n know_v the_o bottom_n of_o the_o parliament_n proceed_n and_o how_o they_o be_v about_o to_o espouse_v a_o national_a interest_n intend_v to_o have_v throw_v the_o government_n upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o nation_n no_o question_n but_o all_o unbiased_a good_a man_n in_o the_o nation_n will_v have_v concur_v as_o much_o with_o the_o army_n in_o this_o last_o breach_n as_o in_o the_o former_a but_o here_o one_o precipitant_a action_n draw_v on_o another_o and_o many_o man_n judgement_n be_v surprise_v in_o this_o last_o action_n of_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n more_o than_o in_o the_o former_a but_o when_o good_a man_n have_v their_o eye_n open_a to_o see_v that_o their_o life_n and_o liberty_n their_o safety_n and_o security_n be_v wrap_v up_o with_o the_o army_n interest_n as_o ever_o the_o people_n do_v in_o king_n and_o parliament_n no_o question_n but_o as_o one_o piece_n as_o one_o body_n as_o one_o soul_n and_o spirit_n they_o will_v agree_v to_o such_o a_o government_n as_o may_v best_o secure_v their_o own_o safety_n and_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a nation_n that_o which_o cause_n man_n of_o carnal_a and_o earthly_a mind_n to_o rage_n and_o fret_v and_o to_o strive_v like_o a_o bull_n in_o a_o net_n because_o we_o settle_v not_o upon_o a_o worldly_a foundation_n a_o constitution_n that_o may_v take_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o all_o its_o filth_n and_o corruption_n in_o all_o its_o malignity_n and_o enmity_n that_o we_o may_v not_o make_v up_o a_o heterogeneal_a body_n a_o mixture_n of_o iron_n and_o clay_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o return_v to_o egypt_n to_o the_o oynion_n and_o garlic_n a_o go_v back_o to_o the_o house_n of_o bondage_n to_o be_v entangle_v with_o the_o custom_n and_o manner_n of_o egypt_n this_o be_v but_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o place_n where_o we_o first_o begin_v and_o so_o to_o suffer_v loss_n yea_o all_o the_o price_n of_o blood_n and_o treasure_n the_o fruit_n of_o all_o the_o prayer_n and_o tear_n that_o have_v be_v spend_v but_o the_o way_n be_v to_o go_v forward_o we_o must_v to_o canaan_n the_o land_n of_o peace_n and_o truth_n of_o righteousness_n and_o justice_n and_o short_a of_o this_o we_o must_v not_o sit_v down_o object_n 2._o in_o the_o second_o place_n some_o charge_n the_o army_n of_o a_o second_o apostasy_n and_o back_n slide_v which_o they_o seem_v of_o late_a to_o repent_v off_o and_o that_o they_o confess_v they_o lose_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n ever_o since_o they_o first_o interrupt_v the_o parliament_n answ_n that_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n go_v a_o long_a time_n with_o the_o action_n of_o the_o parliament_n this_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o good_a people_n as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o army_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o army_n invite_v it_o to_o sit_v this_o last_o time_n but_o that_o they_o lose_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n by_o break_v the_o parliament_n or_o ever_o since_o they_o be_v break_v this_o be_v never_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o army_n they_o must_v then_o have_v be_v fall_v to_o their_o own_o experience_n for_o all_o know_v that_o the_o good_a people_n do_v as_o much_o rejoice_v at_o the_o parliament_n first_o break_v as_o at_o any_o act_n of_o providence_n that_o have_v be_v do_v among_o we_o and_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n appear_v much_o more_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o little_a assembly_n than_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o long_a parliament_n but_o the_o apostasy_n and_o backslide_n the_o army_n do_v bewail_v be_v for_o dance_v after_o the_o pipe_n of_o a_o single_a person_n and_o together_o therewith_o espouse_v a_o worldly_a interest_n and_o so_o build_v up_o the_o break_a wall_n of_o the_o city_n jericho_n that_o they_o make_v they_o a_o calf_n in_o the_o wilderness_n this_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o then_o general_n and_o the_o army_n though_o most_o of_o the_o army_n be_v passive_a as_o to_o the_o set_n up_o of_o such_o a_o single_a power_n but_o the_o last_o act_n of_o apostasy_n in_o the_o army_n be_v to_o give_v a_o new_a resurrection_n to_o this_o parliament_n which_o be_v so_o signal_o disow_v of_o god_n and_o his_o people_n long_o before_o not_o but_o there_o be_v good_a thing_n and_o good_a man_n find_v in_o it_o but_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o return_v to_o egypt_n for_o help_v why_o do_v we_o speak_v so_o high_a for_o a_o parliament_n be_v it_o not_o a_o worldly_a constitution_n a_o body_n sit_v for_o a_o king_n the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n not_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o every_o whit_n as_o babylonish_n as_o kingship_n itself_o at_o best_a the_o most_o of_o they_o be_v man_n of_o estate_n under_o some_o prudent_a qualification_n this_o constitution_n have_v be_v excellent_a in_o its_o season_n and_o while_o there_o be_v life_n and_o power_n in_o it_o we_o can_v not_o but_o honour_v it_o but_o that_o have_v be_v the_o hand_n that_o bring_v we_o out_o of_o egypt_n into_o the_o wilderness_n it_o must_v die_v at_o mount_n nebo_n it_o can_v carry_v we_o into_o the_o land_n of_o rest_n and_o settlement_n to_o strive_v about_o it_o be_v to_o raise_v the_o body_n of_o moses_n to_o honour_v a_o dead_a carcase_n to_o repair_v a_o break_a idol_n that_o can_v no_o long_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n or_o his_o people_n i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v as_o if_o i_o have_v not_o great_a respect_n for_o those_o member_n in_o this_o last_o parliament_n that_o be_v worthy_a i_o speak_v not_o against_o their_o person_n but_o be_o only_o show_v the_o weakness_n of_o a_o worldly_a constitution_n i_o do_v desire_n in_o my_o heart_n that_o those_o who_o be_v member_n will_v come_v a_o little_a beyond_o that_o old_a form_n of_o government_n and_o espouse_v themselves_o with_o the_o cause_n they_o have_v heretofore_o manage_v and_o to_o act_v under_o such_o a_o form_n of_o government_n that_o providence_n shall_v design_n which_o by_o love_n and_o union_n may_v prove_v much_o more_o comfortable_a and_o safe_a both_o for_o they_o and_o we_o object_n 3._o again_o it_o be_v common_o say_v that_o the_o army_n be_v bind_v to_o subject_a to_o such_o as_o raise_v money_n and_o pay_v they_o answ_n for_o answer_v hereunto_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o this_o army_n for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o take_v up_o arm_n out_o of_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n and_o not_o as_o a_o mercenary_a army_n but_o who_o go_v a_o warfare_n at_o his_o own_o charge_n if_o the_o pay_v of_o the_o army_n shall_v make_v they_o serve_v the_o will_n and_o lust_n of_o man_n and_o let_v go_v the_o interest_n of_o good_a man_n they_o can_v not_o answer_v the_o end_n of_o their_o pay_n it_o be_v rather_o the_o end_n shall_v come_v surate_a the_o action_n and_o will_v more_o do_v so_o than_o the_o mean_n can_v direct_v to_o the_o end_n and_o it_o be_v not_o so_o considerable_a who_o pay_v the_o army_n as_o for_o the_o army_n to_o consider_v wherefore_o they_o be_v pay_v if_o they_o keep_v their_o eye_n to_o the_o right_a end_n the_o safety_n and_o liberty_n of_o honest_a man_n this_o will_n more_o crown_v their_o action_n then_o to_o serve_v the_o humour_n of_o such_o as_o pay_v they_o the_o malignant_a neuter_n and_o malcontent_a cry_n out_o against_o tax_n &_o excise_n not_o so_o much_o from_o the_o burden_n of_o they_o as_o from_o their_o enmity_n against_o the_o army_n who_o be_v as_o a_o girdle_n of_o strength_n to_o the_o righteous_a in_o the_o land_n and_o a_o bank_n to_o keep_v out_o that_o sea_n of_o misery_n that_o a_o enrage_a enemy_n will_v inflict_v upon_o they_o but_o when_o shall_v we_o hear_v any_o of_o these_o man_n complain_v of_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n or_o of_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o common_a lawyer_n who_o sell_v the_o poor_a for_o shoe_n and_o the_o needy_a for_o silver_n little_a complaint_n be_v make_v of_o these_o though_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a they_o pick_v as_o much_o money_n out_o of_o the_o pocket_n of_o poor_a people_n as_o will_v in_o a_o very_a great_a measure_n maintain_v the_o army_n in_o the_o three_o nation_n this_o oppression_n man_n love_n and_o plead_v for_o as_o be_v most_o natural_a to_o they_o as_o most_o suitable_a to_o a_o old_a corrupt_a interest_n but_o i_o
