parliament_n these_o doleful_a remembrance_n shall_v now_o make_v we_o wise_a lest_o in_o the_o end_n we_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o mistress_n of_o fool_n of_o all_o these_o that_o since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o conqueror_n have_v wrongful_o attain_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o have_v have_v it_o confirm_v by_o voice_n of_o parliament_n who_o be_v almost_o he_o or_o she_o that_o have_v not_o be_v force_v to_o leave_v it_o with_o a_o expiation_n of_o blood_n i_o do_v here_o refer_v i_o to_o our_o chronicle_n to_o the_o usurper_n their_o adherent_n and_o complice_n and_o to_o a_o may_v tie_v number_n also_o of_o the_o guiltless_a and_o better_a side_n yea_o who_o do_v not_o know_v that_o this_o manner_n of_o wrongful_a intrusion_n into_o the_o high_a power_n and_o place_n have_v often_o time_n procure_v rightful_a king_n upon_o jealousy_n and_o suspicion_n to_o cut_v away_o such_o of_o their_o own_o blood_n as_o they_o do_v fear_n will_v take_v advantage_n of_o the_o like_a course_n to_o conclude_v these_o my_o reason_n concern_v the_o limit_a power_n of_o the_o parliament_n i_o beseech_v god_n that_o they_o may_v rather_o seek_v to_o maintain_v their_o honourable_a power_n by_o do_v that_o which_o be_v conscionable_a and_o right_a then_o to_o bolster_v out_o wrong_a by_o the_o strength_n of_o their_o power_n see_v there_o be_v no_o wisdom_n nor_o counsel_n nor_o any_o strength_n of_o man_n that_o can_v prevail_v against_o he_o who_o do_v over-rule_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o omnipotent_a power_n it_o follow_v next_o to_o examine_v the_o reason_n for_o which_o some_o englishman_n may_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v advance_v to_o the_o government_n of_o the_o realm_n notwithstanding_o refute_v inconvenience_n object_v by_o dolman_n in_o admit_v the_o king_n of_o scot_n to_o succeed_v refute_v it_o be_v yield_v that_o the_o king_n of_o scot_n have_v the_o true_a right_n the_o first_o be_v this_o there_o be_v many_o english_a competitor_n who_o will_v not_o endure_v a_o stranger_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o they_o for_o that_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v free_a from_o his_o jealousy_n which_o can_v be_v without_o the_o hazard_n of_o their_o life_n the_o trouble_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o that_o to_o fortify_v himself_o against_o they_o he_o shall_v needs_o be_v constrain_v to_o bring_v in_o foreign_a force_n to_o these_o point_n i_o do_v answer_n first_o that_o he_o be_v no_o stranger_n as_o be_v already_o prove_v and_o if_o his_o right_n be_v from_o god_n all_o the_o competitor_n though_o they_o be_v a_o thousand_o more_o than_o they_o be_v stand_v bind_v to_o receive_v he_o unless_o wilful_o against_o their_o conscience_n they_o will_v seem_v to_o become_v adversary_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n secondlie_o what_o if_o he_o do_v answer_v that_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o endure_v he_o to_o guide_v and_o to_o rule_v they_o and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v more_o unwilling_a to_o for_o go_v his_o right_n at_o their_o unjust_a opposition_n than_o they_o will_v to_o yield_v it_o to_o he_o at_o his_o just_a demand_n three_o the_o more_o competitor_n they_o be_v for_o they_o it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o worse_o for_o a_o kingdom_n divide_v against_o itself_o can_v long_o stand_v so_o as_o this_o objection_n make_v more_o against_o themselves_o &_o our_o realm_n then_o against_o the_o scottish_a king_n for_o whosoever_o get_v the_o victory_n we_o be_v still_o overthrow_v and_o this_o be_v the_o only_o mean_v that_o will_v weaken_v they_o all_o fourthlie_o if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v wrongful_o attain_v to_o it_o be_v it_o like_v that_o he_o will_v trust_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o competitor_n or_o their_o familiar_n nay_o as_o solomon_n say_v a_o guilty_a conscience_n do_v fear_n where_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n much_o more_o will_v he_o i_o trow_v that_o shall_v come_v by_o it_o wrongful_o be_v affright_v &_o truble_v daily_o to_o behold_v such_o eie-sore_n who_o be_v set_v for_o his_o kingdom_n &_o life_n the_o regard_n of_o their_o country_n kindred_n or_o acquaintance_n will_v but_o little_o persuade_v he_o or_o they_o to_o trust_v the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o for_o according_a to_o the_o old_a proverb_n a_o crown_n will_v know_v no_o kindred_n and_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o competitor_n if_o they_o must_v needs_o go_v without_o it_o will_v forgo_v it_o soon_o to_o he_o that_o have_v the_o right_a then_o to_o any_o man_n else_o especial_o he_o be_v a_o king_n and_o of_o such_o favour_n force_n and_o affinity_n with_o our_o neighbour_n prince_n but_o most_o of_o all_o for_o that_o they_o may_v well_o think_v if_o they_o do_v not_o cleave_v to_o he_o yet_o there_o be_v many_o other_o of_o their_o country_n that_o will_n fiftlie_o i_o confess_v there_o be_v more_o that_o be_v call_v competitor_n than_o i_o wish_v there_o be_v but_o i_o stand_v full_o assure_v that_o none_o but_o one_o can_v have_v the_o true_a right_n &_o therefore_o who_o soever_o have_v it_o not_o if_o he_o can_v see_v it_o and_o be_v wise_a will_v follow_v he_o that_o have_v it_o that_o he_o may_v satisfy_v his_o conscience_n when_o his_o cause_n be_v good_a and_o prevent_v the_o jealousy_n and_o overthrow_n which_o now_o he_o do_v or_o hereafter_o may_v fear_v when_o the_o true_a successor_n shall_v come_v by_o his_o right_n sixth_o though_o the_o competitor_n be_v many_o yet_o they_o be_v nothing_o such_o as_o within_z these_o few_o year_n they_o have_v be_v yea_o they_o and_o their_o favourer_n of_o who_o there_o be_v many_o valiant_a and_o wise_a be_v so_o remove_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o take_v out_o of_o his_o way_n as_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o there_o be_v a_o mighty_a providence_n of_o god_n strong_o work_v for_o he_o to_o defend_v he_o in_o his_o right_n seventhlie_a the_o way_n for_o the_o competitor_n to_o be_v free_v from_o jealousy_n be_v to_o preserve_v the_o public_a peace_n of_o the_o country_n as_o be_v pretend_v and_o to_o avoid_v &_o escape_v the_o force_n and_o tyranny_n of_o stranger_n be_v not_o to_o refuse_v he_o his_o right_n but_o rather_o chearefullie_o &_o before_o all_o other_o to_o further_a he_o to_o it_o for_o if_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v his_o own_o do_v wrongful_o resist_v he_o who_o can_v justly_o blame_v he_o if_o he_o take_v the_o aid_n of_o stranger_n and_o if_o by_o such_o mean_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o realm_n shall_v be_v disturb_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o that_o ask_v nothing_o else_o but_o his_o own_o but_o in_o they_o who_o against_o all_o equity_n refuse_v to_o give_v he_o the_o same_o will_v to_o god_n we_o can_v weigh_v and_o consider_v this_o in_o reason_n that_o they_o be_v most_o worthy_a to_o dwell_v still_o in_o trouble_n who_o witting_o and_o willing_o be_v ready_a to_o procure_v it_o last_o see_v the_o troubler_n of_o their_o own_o house_n shall_v inherit_v the_o wind_n the_o competitor_n if_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o enjoy_v their_o
