a_o letter_n from_z a_o citizen_n of_o oxford_n to_o a_o citizen_n of_o london_n concern_v the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o parliament_n sir_n you_o i_o receive_v of_o the_o 18_o instant_a with_o a_o account_n of_o the_o common-councel_n proceed_n as_o likewise_o the_o proclamation_n for_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o call_v of_o another_o to_o meet_v on_o the_o 21._o of_o march_n next_o and_o in_o compliance_n to_o your_o desire_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o acquaint_v you_o with_o our_o surprise_n and_o the_o sense_n we_o have_v of_o those_o transaction_n here_o with_o as_o much_o brevity_n clearness_n and_o impartiality_n as_o the_o little_a experience_n i_o have_v in_o affair_n will_v permit_v as_o for_o the_o call_n a_o common-councel_n it_o be_v every_o one_o wish_n here_o that_o the_o worthy_a citizen_n of_o london_n have_v not_o be_v so_o spirit_v with_o zeal_n or_o rather_o hurry_v on_o with_o jealousy_n that_o will_v not_o give_v they_o leave_v to_o see_v the_o time_n expire_v that_o be_v appoint_v by_o his_o majesty_n for_o the_o meeting_n again_o of_o the_o parliament_n but_o by_o a_o too_o forward_a petition_n will_v seem_v to_o impose_v upon_o and_o distrust_v his_o royal_a conduct_n and_o care_n and_o by_o that_o and_o other_o course_n have_v more_o exasperate_v then_o compose_v matter_n and_o rather_o procure_v their_o be_v dissolve_v than_o their_o meet_v again_o shall_v i_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o and_o tell_v you_o my_o opinion_n i_o think_v it_o will_v become_v we_o citizen_n much_o better_o to_o mind_v our_o trade_n and_o our_o shop_n then_o to_o meddle_v with_o state-affair_n for_o no_o doubt_n those_o at_o the_o helm_n know_v better_a what_o to_o do_v than_o we_o can_v tell_v they_o as_o be_v the_o most_o experience_a have_v the_o best_a prospect_n and_o be_v the_o most_o concern_v in_o a_o even_a and_o steady_a manage_n of_o affair_n you_o daily_o acquaint_v i_o with_o the_o fear_n you_o be_v in_o of_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o yet_o i_o can_v see_v what_o reason_n and_o ground_n you_o have_v for_o they_o do_v not_o the_o king_n let_v the_o law_n have_v its_o full_a scope_n have_v he_o deprive_v any_o of_o his_o subject_n of_o their_o privilege_n have_v he_o put_v the_o least_o curb_n upon_o or_o fail_v to_o do_v justice_n to_o any_o one_o have_v he_o raise_v money_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o his_o parliament_n i_o do_v not_o hear_v of_o the_o least_o of_o this_o have_v be_v do_v and_o therefore_o i_o can_v imagine_v upon_o what_o bottom_n you_o build_v your_o jealousy_n and_o suspicion_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n certain_o never_o any_o nation_n have_v so_o good_a so_o gracious_a so_o merciful_a a_o prince_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o joy_n and_o delight_n of_o his_o people_n as_o he_o be_v the_o admiration_n and_o wonder_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n have_v not_o his_o mercy_n extend_v to_o the_o very_o worst_a of_o his_o enemy_n and_o have_v not_o his_o great_a persecutor_n obtain_v their_o pardon_n and_o enjoy_v his_o protection_n and_o care_n as_o if_o they_o have_v ever_o be_v his_o great_a friend_n all_o this_o have_v be_v do_v and_o can_v we_o distrust_v such_o a_o prince_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o i_o fear_v these_o course_n will_v provoke_v and_o draw_v upon_o we_o god_n anger_n and_o judgement_n as_o for_o occurrence_n here_o our_o preparation_n be_v very_o great_a as_o well_o as_o expectation_n for_o the_o me●ting_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o parliament_n which_o we_o hope_v will_v compose_v all_o our_o difference_n and_o heal_v our_o division_n at_o least_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o meddle_v with_o thing_n out_o of_o our_o province_n nor_o by_o any_o too_o hasty_a motion_n give_v occasion_n for_o further_a mischief_n and_o breach_n though_o perhaps_o we_o may_v brag_v and_o value_v ourselves_o as_o high_a for_o our_o zeal_n and_o good_a intention_n for_o the_o public_a cause_n as_o any_o other_o of_o our_o fellow-subject_n yet_o as_o in_o religion_n one_o of_o the_o great_a virtue_n be_v a_o perfect_a resignation_n and_o submission_n to_o all_o that_o divine_a providence_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o order_n so_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v the_o same_o of_o our_o governor_n in_o this_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v only_o our_o part_n to_o choose_v for_o our_o representative_n such_o person_n as_o be_v best_a acquaint_v with_o the_o true_a interest_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o people_n such_o as_o be_v apt_a to_o compose_v then_o raise_v dispute_n and_o be_v true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o then_o leave_v all_o the_o rest_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o they_o and_o think_v of_o nothing_o but_o of_o put_v in_o execution_n what_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o ordain_v and_o order_n which_o we_o hope_v and_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o best_a mean_n for_o the_o maintain_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o the_o honour_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o nation_n and_o which_o will_v most_o contribute_v towards_o the_o reconcile_n of_o all_o difference_n and_o the_o unite_n we_o among_o ourselves_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o daily_a prayer_n of_o your_o affectionate_a friend_n and_o servant_n t._n p._n
