our_o sin_n be_v great_a before_o they_o be_v far_o great_a now_o god_n have_v restore_v we_o to_o our_o peace_n and_o liberty_n which_o we_o so_o long_o pray_v for_o and_o wish_v for_o what_o return_v have_v we_o make_v to_o he_o for_o that_o mercy_n instead_o of_o send_v new_a praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o present_v he_o from_o our_o heart_n and_o lip_n for_o those_o mercy_n we_o have_v invent_v new_a oath_n and_o curse_n to_o send_v he_o he_o that_o can_v swear_v and_o swagger_v drink_v rant_n and_o rogue_n be_v look_v upon_o by_o some_o as_o a_o pitiful_a fellow_n and_o not_o worth_a their_o keep_a company_n and_o if_o he_o can_v vapour_n he_o be_v not_o look_v upon_o to_o have_v any_o valour_n these_o vice_n have_v get_v such_o a_o custom_n of_o late_a that_o they_o be_v look_v upon_o to_o be_v the_o only_a badge_n to_o distinguish_v a_o cavalier_n from_o a_o sectary_n that_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o court_n and_o camp_n in_o city_n and_o country_n that_o those_o that_o be_v creep_v into_o place_n of_o profit_n and_o preferment_n by_o their_o purse_n which_o i_o believe_v serve_v the_o king_n more_o for_o lucre_n of_o pay_n then_o love_v to_o his_o person_n these_o now_o be_v become_v as_o absolute_a dam_o boy_n as_o the_o best_a or_o the_o worst_a i_o may_v say_v which_o former_o will_v as_o soon_o cut_v a_o cavalier_n throat_n as_o swear_v a_o oath_n and_o esteem_v it_o a_o less_o sin_n unless_o it_o have_v be_v the_o covenant_n or_o engagement_n but_o i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v to_o they_o but_o how_o can_v we_o look_v for_o mercy_n from_o god_n or_o favour_n from_o the_o king_n when_o we_o who_o shall_v show_v such_o good_a example_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n who_o have_v deliver_v we_o and_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o king_n who_o cause_n we_o fight_v for_o be_v now_o so_o accustom_v to_o these_o odious_a sin_n that_o we_o neither_o feat_n god_n judgement_n nor_o the_o king_n law_n which_o be_v both_o enemy_n to_o such_o counterfeit_a cavalier_n i_o can_v term_v they_o no_o other_o nor_o ever_o do_v who_o have_v do_v the_o king_n more_o harm_n by_o their_o deboystness_n than_o ever_o they_o can_v do_v he_o good_a by_o their_o service_n if_o he_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o use_v they_o therefore_o you_o that_o can_v make_v your_o service_n and_o suffering_n out_o for_o his_o majesty_n show_v it_o in_o your_o carriage_n and_o behaviour_n for_o your_o future_a happiness_n and_o his_o majesty_n honour_n we_o have_v enemy_n enough_o we_o have_v need_n make_v god_n our_o friend_n and_o that_o can_v never_o be_v with_o such_o course_n i_o believe_v if_o some_o thought_n there_o be_v a_o god_n they_o will_v not_o call_v upon_o he_o to_o damn_v they_o so_o often_o as_o they_o do_v it_o be_v a_o

of_o the_o clergy_n the_o deceit_n of_o the_o citizen_n and_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o lawyer_n but_o swear_v curse_v lie_v backbiting_a and_o insinuate_a be_v count_v no_o sin_n among_o we_o and_o that_o i_o must_v be_v bold_a to_o tell_v you_o that_o those_o that_o profess_v themselves_o the_o indigent_a party_n be_v great_o guilty_a in_o this_o and_o by_o jar_v and_o quarrel_v one_o with_o another_o every_o one_o think_v his_o own_o wit_n best_o till_o at_o last_o some_o out-witted_n all_o those_o thar_z be_v true_o indigent_a and_o well_o they_o may_v have_v four_o to_o one_o against_o we_o and_o good_a backer_n to_o second_v they_o these_o and_o such_o like_a be_v the_o fault_n of_o the_o indigent_a party_n which_o i_o have_v here_o declare_v not_o out_o of_o envy_n or_o

let_v they_o think_v what_o they_o will_v and_o speak_v what_o they_o list_v i_o have_v do_v what_o i_o can_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v who_o be_v the_o true_o loyal_a and_o indigent_a party_n and_o who_o the_o counterfeit_n that_o the_o cheat_n may_v be_v find_v though_o the_o gamester_n be_v hide_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o friend_n which_o be_v grieve_v for_o we_o and_o likewise_o for_o our_o enemy_n which_o rejoice_v at_o our_o poverty_n and_o will_v work_v upon_o our_o necessity_n if_o they_o can_v but_o i_o hope_v they_o shall_v find_v we_o more_o content_v with_o our_o

the_o king_n clemency_n in_o time_n may_v relieve_v we_o when_o it_o be_v clear_o know_v who_o have_v faithful_o serve_v and_o suffer_v for_o he_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o desire_v all_o they_o that_o fear_n god_n and_o honour_v the_o king_n not_o to_o let_v their_o grievance_n and_o poverty_n move_v their_o passion_n so_o much_o by_o their_o curse_v and_o swear_v which_o make_v we_o stink_v in_o the_o nostril_n of_o god_n and_o odious_a in_o the_o company_n of_o civil_a person_n and_o become_v a_o laugh_a stock_n to_o our_o enemy_n that_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o look_v for_o but_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n to_o fall_v upon_o we_o such_o like_a sin_n which_o be_v too_o much_o use_v by_o those_o that_o profess_v themselves_o the_o king_n friend_n so_o have_v now_o show_v you_o the_o fault_n of_o our_o party_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v many_o i_o will_v instance_n a_o few_o and_o though_o they_o be_v great_a i_o desire_v to_o remove_v they_o that_o our_o fault_n may_v be_v mend_v the_o cause_n that_o produce_v their_o fault_n discover_v in_o reality_n we_o can_v plead_v no_o cause_n we_o have_v for_o our_o sin_n or_o fault_n but_o what_o

taint_v with_o pride_n for_o they_o have_v cause_n enough_o to_o be_v humble_v yes_o but_o the_o counterfeit_n be_v proud_a in_o conceit_n that_o they_o have_v out-witted_n out-vapoured_n and_o can_v out-swear_a the_o true_o loyal_a and_o indigent_a party_n as_o by_o woeful_a experience_n we_o have_v find_v i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o they_o take_v such_o pride_n in_o their_o swear_n that_o they_o think_v they_o be_v not_o look_v upon_o as_o gentleman_n and_o cavalier_n unless_o they_o can_v swear_v to_o all_o they_o speak_v whether_o it_o be_v truth_n or_o lie_n nay_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o there_o be_v many_o hundred_o that_o have_v receive_v their_o potion_n of_o this_o indigent_a money_n with_o the_o best_a that_o have_v discharge_v more_o volley_n of_o oath_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o king_n friend_n than_o ever_o they_o discharge_v corn_n of_o powder_n gallant_o in_o the_o face_n of_o his_o enemy_n if_o the_o great_a swearer_n and_o vapourer_n can_v prove_v themselves_o the_o best_a soldier_n and_o the_o great_a sufferer_n for_o his_o majesty_n they_o then_o may_v be_v proud_a of_o their_o loyalty_n to_o the_o king_n but_o they_o can_v boast_v of_o their_o good_a

that_o can_v make_v best_a friend_n when_o service_n and_o desert_n either_o lie_v in_o prison_n or_o dare_v not_o peep_v out_o for_o fear_n as_o by_o some_o it_o be_v too_o open_o know_v that_o

never_o yet_o have_v any_o reward_n that_o have_v put_v in_o for_o a_o part_n of_o this_o money_n that_o be_v not_o so_o indigent_a but_o if_o they_o have_v think_v to_o what_o a_o pitiful_a sum_n

be_v now_o intend_v for_o they_o that_o be_v real_o in_o want_n for_o the_o present_a i_o believe_v there_o be_v some_o that_o have_v take_v of_o this_o money_n that_o if_o the_o truth_n be_v know_v
