hearty_a loyal_a and_o sincere_a affection_n of_o you_o the_o representer_n and_o of_o the_o much_o great_a part_n of_o the_o body_n of_o this_o his_o ancient_a kingdom_n he_o have_v so_o full_o express_v this_o to_o all_o the_o session_n of_o his_o two_o parliament_n and_o to_o the_o two_o former_a convention_n he_o have_v give_v such_o real_a and_o such_o convince_a testimony_n of_o this_o in_o all_o the_o act_n of_o his_o government_n these_o eighteen_o year_n since_o his_o most_o glorious_a and_o happy_a restauration_n which_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o all_o your_o heart_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o further_o insist_v his_o majesty_n have_v full_o and_o clear_o express_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o call_v this_o convention_n and_o of_o his_o expectation_n of_o such_o a_o supply_n as_o may_v enable_n he_o to_o protect_v and_o defend_v you_o against_o foreign_a invasion_n or_o intestine_a rebellion_n on_o this_o i_o shall_v enlarge_v a_o little_a you_o may_v remember_v that_o four_o year_n ago_o in_o the_o last_o session_n of_o the_o last_o parliament_n though_o the_o king_n be_v actual_o engage_v in_o a_o great_a war_n yet_o know_v the_o low_a condition_n of_o this_o kingdom_n he_o ask_v no_o supply_n for_o then_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n of_o any_o insurrection_n here_o though_o soon_o after_o the_o end_n of_o that_o parliament_n the_o fanatic_n break_v out_o very_o insolent_o in_o divers_a place_n i_o shall_v not_o reflect_v how_o this_o come_v but_o this_o year_n they_o have_v be_v much_o more_o insolent_a in_o numerous_a field_n conventicle_n which_o the_o law_n just_o term_n rendevouze_v of_o rebellion_n and_o the_o country_n most_o infest_a declare_v that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o suppress_v they_o so_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o draw_v force_n together_o i_o shall_v not_o repeat_v what_o follow_v upon_o that_o occasion_n nor_o reflect_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o pass_v since_o i_o will_v only_o look_v forward_o how_o the_o kingdom_n may_v be_v secure_v in_o this_o great_a conjuncture_n by_o the_o fair_a and_o most_o easy_a way_n about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o date_n of_o the_o king_n letter_n there_o be_v a_o appearance_n of_o peace_n betwixt_o our_o near_a neighbour_n in_o france_n flanders_n and_o the_o unite_a province_n which_o now_o seem_v to_o be_v at_o least_o retard_v and_o all_o country_n prepare_v for_o their_o defence_n which_o make_v it_o necessary_a that_o this_o kingdom_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o only_a country_n leave_v naked_a without_o any_o defence_n here_o be_v no_o more_o than_o one_o regiment_n of_o foot_n and_o one_o troop_n of_o guard_n of_o stand_a force_n and_o the_o king_n revenue_n can_v bear_v no_o more_o i_o need_v not_o therefore_o
