consideration_n for_o the_o commons_z in_o this_o age_n of_o distraction_n our_o present_a breach_n call_v out_o to_o every_o honest_a christian_n to_o become_v a_o continual_a centinel_n watch_v against_o the_o incessant_a assault_n of_o such_o as_o endeavour_v to_o undermine_v the_o peace_n of_o this_o kingdom_n therefore_o see_v a_o storm_n inevitable_o fall_v its_o good_a to_o meet_v it_o with_o understanding_n right_o inform_v that_o so_o we_o may_v know_v how_o to_o propose_v the_o way_n of_o truth_n to_o other_o and_o how_o to_o prosecute_v it_o ourselves_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v and_o still_o be_v the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o common_a enemy_n to_o set_v at_o variance_n not_o only_o the_o prince_n of_o several_a nation_n but_o each_o kingdom_n against_o itself_o divide_v betwixt_o prince_n and_o people_n and_o incense_a subject_n against_o subject_n that_o so_o they_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o accomplish_v their_o wicked_a intention_n in_o our_o division_n and_o how_o zealous_o this_o design_n of_o the_o adverse_a party_n have_v be_v carry_v on_o of_o late_a year_n in_o these_o kingdom_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o intelligent_a one_o but_o they_o can_v ready_o trace_v it_o in_o sundry_a particular_n and_o now_o at_o last_o have_v crown_v their_o endeavour_n with_o the_o accurse_a fruit_n of_o engage_v this_o kingdom_n in_o a_o civil_a war_n they_o drive_v on_o furious_o in_o the_o pursuance_n of_o this_o their_o hellish_a design_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n usher_v in_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n if_o not_o speedy_o oppose_v and_o crush_v and_o let_v all_o good_a christian_n be_v careful_a lest_o by_o their_o own_o backwardness_n they_o make_v good_a that_o base_a assertion_n of_o some_o malignant_n that_o the_o protestant_a profession_n be_v too_o tame_a to_o withstand_v they_o now_o therefore_o since_o our_o present_a breach_n call_v for_o a_o contribution_n from_o every_o one_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o our_o own_o interest_n require_v that_o we_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o common_a good_a and_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a know_v our_o duty_n and_o how_o we_o be_v to_o dispose_v of_o ourselves_o either_o in_o the_o assist_v of_o the_o one_o side_n or_o in_o resist_v of_o the_o other_o as_o we_o be_v thereunto_o call_v let_v we_o brief_o take_v a_o view_n 1._o of_o the_o chief_a author_n and_o fomenter_n of_o these_o unhappy_a distraction_n 2._o of_o the_o end_n they_o drive_v at_o 3._o of_o the_o mean_n they_o use_v to_o accomplish_v those_o end_n 4._o of_o the_o dangerous_a inconvenience_n that_o will_v ensue_v if_o these_o be_v not_o oppose_v 1._o for_o the_o author_n of_o our_o present_a misery_n the_o several_a declaration_n of_o parliament_n tell_v we_o that_o they_o consist_v of_o papist_n of_o a_o ambitious_a and_o dissolute_a clergy_n of_o delinquent_n obnoxious_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o parliament_n together_o with_o some_o part_n of_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n that_o either_o fear_n reformation_n or_o else_o seek_v to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o their_o own_o honour_n and_o preferment_n in_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o we_o appeal_v to_o all_o the_o world_n whether_o all_o of_o they_o or_o at_o least_o the_o great_a party_n of_o they_o that_o have_v withdraw_v his_o majesty_n from_o his_o parliament_n and_o be_v now_o about_o he_o do_v not_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o this_o definition_n be_v such_o as_o have_v constant_o labour_v to_o bury_v the_o happiness_n of_o this_o kingdom_n in_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o they_o that_o trust_v these_o man_n too_o much_o questionless_a they_o know_v they_o too_o little_a for_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o man_n unless_o he_o be_v wilful_o blind_a and_o stupid_a but_o will_v conculde_v that_o the_o many_o eye_n of_o those_o famous_a peer_n that_o have_v sometime_o be_v adjudge_v the_o able_a statesman_n in_o this_o kingdom_n accompany_v with_o so_o many_o choice_n worthy_n out_o of_o all_o part_n in_o the_o land_n shall_v see_v more_o plain_o and_o discern_v more_o clear_o into_o those_o thing_n that_o tend_v ro_o the_o good_a and_o safety_n of_o king_n and_o people_n than_o those_o dim_a light_n about_o of_o majesty_n which_o can_v see_v no_o further_o than_o their_o own_o personal_a preferment_n and_o base_a ambitious_a aim_n do_v lead_v they_o now_o according_o let_v people_n adhere_v to_o the_o counsel_n and_o command_n of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o as_o in_o reason_n they_o shall_v find_v cause_n 2._o consider_v the_o end_n that_o this_o malignant_a party_n have_v hitherto_o and_o still_o continue_v to_o drive_v at_o and_o their_o practice_n shall_v be_v judge_v one_o chief_a and_o main_a end_n they_o drive_v at_o be_v the_o destruction_n of_o this_o present_a parliament_n and_o in_o it_o all_o future_a parliament_n and_o together_o with_o they_o the_o alteration_n of_o religion_n the_o subversion_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n with_o the_o utter_a abollition_n of_o the_o rightful_a liberty_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o subject_n all_o this_o will_v clear_o appear_v if_o you_o take_v but_o a_o brief_a survey_n of_o their_o proceed_n from_o time_n to_o time_n first_o their_o love_n or_o rather_o indeed_o inveterate_a hatred_n to_o this_o parliament_n appear_v in_o the_o many_o consultation_n they_o have_v and_o attempt_n they_o make_v as_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o deposition_n of_o many_o to_o bring_v up_o the_o northern_a army_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o likewise_o in_o that_o unjust_a charge_n of_o treason_n which_o be_v pretend_v against_o some_o member_n of_o both_o house_n and_o the_o king_n come_v with_o a_o company_n of_o cavalier_n to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o to_o fetch_v they_o away_o by_o force_n and_o then_o that_o which_o add_v vigour_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n their_o withdraw_n of_o his_o majesty_n from_o his_o great_a and_o best_a council_n into_o the_o northern_a part_n of_o this_o kingdom_n under_o pretence_n that_o his_o person_n be_v in_o danger_n at_o whitehall_n which_o be_v a_o notorious_a black_a lie_n then_o for_o their_o love_n to_o religion_n i_o think_v that_o be_v manifest_a to_o the_o world_n by_o their_o conversation_n their_o affect_v of_o blood_n rapine_n torture_n oppression_n and_o cruelty_n their_o frequent_a swear_v god_n damn_n i_o and_o god_n sink_v i_o together_o with_o that_o sweet_a harmony_n and_o mutual_a corespondency_n betwixt_o romanist_n and_o they_o the_o counsel_n of_o jesuitical_a papist_n have_v a_o chief_a influence_n into_o their_o proceed_n judge_v if_o these_o render_v they_o defendour_n of_o the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n and_o then_o the_o great_a care_n they_o take_v for_o uphold_v and_o maintain_v the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n appear_v by_o their_o love_n to_o parliament_n which_o be_v the_o law_n protector_n as_o also_o by_o their_o favourable_a construction_n of_o the_o commission_n of_o array_n the_o put_v of_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o divers_a popish_a and_o ill_a affect_a person_n give_v they_o place_n in_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o out_v of_o other_o which_o it_o seem_v be_v too_o zealous_a of_o the_o good_a of_o king_n and_o kingdom_n and_o last_o their_o care_n of_o preserve_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n appear_v by_o those_o many_o illegal_a taxation_n of_o old_a and_o of_o their_o late_a endeavour_n to_o possess_v the_o world_n of_o a_o absolute_a and_o unlimited_a power_n in_o prince_n thus_o for_o the_o end_n 3._o consider_v the_o mean_n they_o use_v to_o accomplish_v these_o their_o end_n the_o main_a whereof_o be_v to_o raise_v up_o a_o spirit_n of_o division_n and_o continual_o to_o increase_v a_o disunion_n first_o betwixt_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o loyal_a subject_n and_o then_o betwixt_o one_o subject_n and_o another_o for_o they_o well_o know_v that_o where_o verity_n be_v accompany_v with_o unity_n it_o make_v a_o people_n invincible_a and_o therefore_o the_o better_a to_o carry_v on_o this_o their_o truth-detesting_a design_n first_o the_o king_n must_v be_v deal_v with_o that_o the_o major_a part_n of_o parliament_n be_v seduce_v by_o a_o few_o traitorous_a factious_a spirit_n endeavour_v to_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o just_a prerogative_n and_o to_o trample_v upon_o his_o crown_n and_o have_v thus_o impudent_o suggest_v a_o thing_n as_o false_a as_o the_o father_n of_o liar_n can_v invent_v than_o no_o stone_n must_v be_v leave_v unrowl_v whereby_o this_o misunderstanding_n betwixt_o the_o king_n and_o his_o people_n may_v be_v increase_v after_o this_o the_o subject_n they_o must_v be_v deal_v with_o by_o many_o specious_a pretence_n and_o smooth_a expression_n and_o heartless_a protestation_n of_o the_o zeal_n of_o these_o man_n both_o for_o the_o good_a of_o king_n and_o people_n and_o of_o the_o earn_n desire_n
