the_o lord_n blessing_n the_o metropolis_n and_o bank_n of_o trade_n for_o all_o christendom_n whereunto_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v fit_v they_o above_o all_o other_o and_o as_o to_o a_o government_n in_o the_o church_n the_o want_n whereof_o have_v be_v no_o small_a cause_n of_o these_o nation_n distraction_n it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o if_o it_o be_v monarchical_a in_o the_o

indeed_o moderate_a not_o rigid_a presbyterian_a government_n with_o a_o sufficient_a liberty_n for_o conscience_n true_o tender_a appear_v at_o present_a to_o be_v the_o most_o indifferent_a and_o acceptable_a way_n to_o the_o church_n settlement_n the_o main_a thing_n that_o seem_v to_o lie_v in_o the_o way_n be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o lord_n even_o of_o those_o lord_n who_o have_v

shall_v only_o say_v that_o though_o the_o state_n of_o these_o nation_n be_v such_o as_o can_v bear_v their_o sit_n in_o a_o distinct_a house_n yet_o certain_o the_o wisdom_n of_o parliament_n will_v find_v out_o such_o hereditary_a mark_n of_o honour_n for_o they_o as_o may_v make_v they_o more_o noble_a in_o after_o age_n gentleman_n upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n the_o best_a result_n that_o i_o can_v make_v at_o present_a for_o the_o peace_n of_o these_o nation_n will_v be_v in_o my_o opinion_n that_o you_o forthwith_o sit_v together_o in_o parliament_n in_o order_n 1._o to_o the_o settle_v the_o conduct_n of_o army_n of_o the_o three_o nation_n in_o that_o manner_n as_o they_o may_v be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o peace_n and_o safety_n of_o they_o and_o not_o to_o its_o own_o and_o the_o

and_o judicatory_n in_o scotland_n and_o ireland_n and_o to_o take_v care_n for_o the_o issue_v forth_o writ_n for_o the_o summon_n of_o a_o parliament_n of_o these_o three_o nation_n unite_v to_o meet_v at_o westminster_n the_o 20._o day_n of_o april_n next_o with_o such_o qualification_n as_o may_v secure_v the_o public_a cause_n we_o be_v all_o engage_v in_o and_o according_a to_o such_o distribution_n as_o be_v use_v in_o the_o year_n 1654._o which_o parliament_n so_o call_v may_v meet_v and_o act_v in_o freedom_n for_o the_o more_o full_a establish_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n without_o a_o king_n single_a person_n or_o house_n of_o lord_n 4._o to_o a_o legal_a dissolution_n of_o this_o parliament_n to_o make_v way_n for_o succession_n of_o parliament_n and_o in_o order_n to_o these_o good_a end_n the_o guard_n will_v not_o only_o willing_o admit_v you_o but_o faithful_o both_o myself_o and_o every_o the_o officer_n under_o my_o command_n and_o i_o believe_v the_o o_fw-fr ficer_n and_o soldier_n of_o the_o three_o nation_n will_v spend_v their_o blood_n for_o you_o and_o successive_a parliament_n if_o your_o conjunction_n be_v direct_v to_o this_o end_n you_o may_v part_v honourable_o have_v make_v a_o fair_a step_n to_o the_o settlement_n of_o these_o nation_n by_o make_v a_o way_n for_o successive_a parliament_n but_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o if_o any_o different_a counsel_n shall_v be_v take_v which_o i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o fear_v these_o nation_n will_v present_o be_v throw_v back_o into_o force_n and_o violence_n and_o all_o hope_n of_o this_o much_o desire_a establishment_n bury_v in_o disorder_n which_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o great_a mercy_n i_o hope_v will_v prevent_v and_o so_o god_n speed_v you_o well_o together_o and_o

speaker_n we_o can_v but_o with_o thankfulness_n acknowledge_v the_o wonderful_a goodness_n of_o god_n to_o you_o in_o your_o return_n to_o the_o discharge_n of_o your_o remain_a trust_n to_o
