thing_n which_o i_o have_v not_o leisure_n to_o add_v tomorrow_o they_o meet_v again_o and_o i_o believe_v the_o main_a question_n will_v be_v whether_o a_o declaration_n shall_v be_v make_v here_o

to_o compose_v the_o variance_n betwixt_o a_o king_n and_o his_o people_n disunited_a for_o it_o be_v much_o easy_a to_o compose_v difference_n arise_v from_o reason_n yea_o even_o from_o wrong_n

will_v consume_v the_o wealth_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o of_o this_o we_o have_v late_o a_o costly_a example_n in_o those_o unhappy_a trouble_n betwixt_o we_o and_o scotland_n where_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o two_o army_n cost_v this_o kingdom_n a_o million_o of_o pound_n and_o if_o two_o army_n be_v once_o on_o foot_n here_o in_o england_n either_o a_o sudden_a encounter_n must_v destroy_v

that_o all_o mean_n may_v be_v forbear_v which_o may_v make_v the_o breach_n wide_o and_o the_o wound_n deep_o that_o no_o place_n be_v give_v to_o the_o evil_a spirit_n of_o division_n which_o at_o such_o time_n work_v incessant_o and_o rest_v not_o but_o that_o the_o fair_a way_n be_v take_v by_o so_o wise_a a_o king_n and_o parliament_n as_o may_v make_v his_o majesty_n and_o his_o posterity_n more_o glorious_a and_o his_o kingdom_n more_o happy_a then_o ever_o the_o best_a way_n hereunto_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o select_a committee_n of_o choice_n person_n of_o both_o house_n who_o may_v reconcile_v first_o those_o difference_n and_o then_o descend_v to_o the_o particular_n which_o may_v be_v expect_v from_o each_o other_o either_o in_o point_n of_o

the_o land_n the_o king_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o command_v all_o his_o subject_n upon_o their_o allegiance_n not_o to_o obey_v the_o say_a ordinance_n as_o they_o will_v answer_v it_o to_o their_o peril_n the_o king_n command_v also_o divers_a of_o we_o to_o attend_v his_o person_n whereunto_o we_o be_v oblige_v by_o our_o several_a service_n and_o
