for_o the_o preservation_n of_o true_a religion_n our_o king_n our_o family_n and_o posterity_n 1._o all_o old_a quarrel_n and_o animosity_n must_v be_v forget_v and_o we_o must_v learn_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v more_o meek_a and_o humble_a forgive_a those_o that_o trespass_n against_o we_o and_o never_o render_v evil_a for_o good_a but_o contrariwise_o good_a for_o evil_n the_o episcopal_a must_v forget_v the_o injury_n they_o receive_v from_o the_o presbyterian_o long_v ago_o and_o do_v nothing_o by_o way_n of_o revenge_n and_o the_o presbyterian_o must_v not_o remember_v the_o severity_n they_o have_v meet_v with_o from_o the_o episcopal_a these_o last_o twenty_o year_n and_o render_v evil_a for_o evil_n 2._o all_o shall_v resolve_v as_o one_o man_n to_o

way_n blaspheme_v god_n and_o the_o king_n and_o therefore_o god_n be_v against_o they_o and_o their_o own_o conscience_n can_v but_o now_o and_o then_o terrify_v and_o affrighten_v they_o but_o our_o cause_n be_v the_o lord_n the_o defend_v our_o king_n and_o ourselves_o against_o the_o unjust_a cruelty_n of_o the_o papist_n the_o abide_n firm_a to_o gospel-truths_n god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o fear_v fear_v they_o not_o but_o stand_v still_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o salvation_n of_o god_n 2._o expect_v not_o their_o mercy_n they_o be_v a_o treacherous_a

they_o not_o for_o they_o be_v make_v up_o of_o lie_n equivocation_n and_o mental_a reservation_n and_o count_v it_o meritorious_a to_o kill_v protestant_a dog_n as_o they_o call_v we_o be_v not_o therefore_o fright_v out_o of_o your_o region_n nor_o flatter_v into_o their_o snare_n queen_n mary_n make_v brave_a promise_n to_o the_o gospeler_n i._n e._n the_o protestant_n but_o all_o end_v either_o in_o cruel_a prison_n as_o the_o bishop_n coal-house_n lollard_n tower_n etc._n etc._n or_o in_o smithfield_n and_o many_o other_o fire_n 4._o it_o be_v our_o joint-interest_n to_o remember_v the_o wonderful_a deliverance_n god_n have_v give_v our_o king_n the_o great_a city_n and_o these_o kingdom_n in_o order_n to_o the_o show_v our_o unfeigned_a thankfulness_n by_o a_o hearty_a

love_n in_o that_o you_o have_v give_v yourself_o so_o great_a a_o trouble_n to_o inlighten_v i_o in_o these_o necessary_a point_n i_o will_v only_o beg_v the_o favour_n of_o your_o thought_n concern_v one_o thing_n and_o i_o have_v do_v p._n what_o be_v that_o neighbour_n c._n sir_n i_o have_v be_v tell_v that_o there_o be_v a_o parliament_n some_o month_n since_o that_o do_v resolve_v in_o the_o house_n that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o by_o any_o untimely_a death_n which_o god_n forbid_v they_o will_v revenge_v his_o death_n on_o the_o papist_n what_o reason_n can_v there_o be_v give_v for_o such_o a_o resolve_v p._n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v question_v but_o that_o that_o great_a council_n do_v what_o they_o do_v on_o the_o high_a reason_n namely_o to_o show_v their_o loyalty_n and_o love_n to_o his_o majesty_n to_o assure_v the_o papist_n that_o the_o day_n shall_v not_o be_v their_o own_o though_o they_o shall_v accomplish_v their_o devilish_a design_n viz._n the_o death_n of_o our_o sovereign_n and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v their_o interest_n to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o treason_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o protestant_a prince_n c._n but_o what_o equity_n be_v there_o in_o revenge_v his_o death_n on_o all_o papist_n p._n great_a equity_n for_o the_o treason_n of_o these_o bloody_a wretch_n be_v of_o the_o high_a nature_n it_o be_v to_o destroy_v the_o best_a of_o king_n and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n yea_o and_o to_o ruin_v these_o kingdom_n by_o turn_v we_o all_o into_o blood_n which_o design_n can_v never_o in_o their_o own_o apprehension_n be_v accomplish_v but_o by_o the_o whole_a popish_a strength_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v question_v but_o that_o the_o whole_a party_n at_o least_o all_o man_n of_o brain_n and_o interest_n be_v acquaint_v with_o if_o not_o engage_v in_o it_o c._n but_o sir_n you_o suppose_v that_o though_o the_o most_o part_n be_v acquaint_v with_o it_o yet_o all_o may_v not_o actual_o engage_v in_o it_o must_v they_o feel_v the_o smart_n of_o protestant_a revenge_n also_o p._n sir_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v but_o it_o be_v know_v to_o all_o in_o general_n although_o some_o may_v hate_v the_o treason_n because_o of_o the_o bloodiness_n thereof_o at_o least_o with_o reference_n to_o their_o kindred_n that_o be_v among_o protestant_n or_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v so_o much_o english_a man_n as_o not_o to_o engage_v actual_o yet_o since_o they_o know_v the_o treason_n their_o conceal_n of_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o guilty_a c._n there_o be_v much_o in_o that_o which_o i_o do_v not_o so_o much_o consider_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a for_o my_o employ_v you_o know_v sir_n call_v i_o unto_o divers_a part_n of_o the_o i_o and_o that_o the_o generality_n of_o protestant_n be_v so_o firm_a to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n so_o dutiful_a affectionate_a and_o loyal_a to_o his_o majesty_n that_o they_o will_v be_v so_o full_a of_o rage_n shall_v the_o papist_n make_v the_o attempt_n and_o kill_v the_o king_n that_o they_o will_v soon_o have_v cause_n to_o repent_v of_o such_o treachery_n p._n i_o be_o of_o your_o mind_n be_v the_o more_o encourage_v to_o conclude_v so_o from_o the_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n that_o have_v appear_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o protestant_a cause_n against_o they_o already_o god_n have_v be_v be_v and_o will_v be_v know_v by_o the_o judgement_n he_o execute_v in_o the_o earth_n the_o wicked_a be_v take_v in_o the_o snare_n they_o have_v lay_v for_o the_o innocent_a the_o lord_n reign_v and_o by_o signal_n providence_n he_o have_v prevent_v the_o execution_n of_o popish_a plot_n in_o do_v so_o by_o his_o own_o arm_n turn_v 〈◊〉_d against_o they_o which_o they_o design_v for_o themselves_o as_o the_o death_n of_o sir_n edmondbury_n godfrey_n etc._n etc._n god_n bring_v about_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o the_o protestant_n safety_n by_o the_o most_o unlikely_a and_o improbable_a way_n as_o may_v be_v show_v diverse_o but_o i_o be_o call_v away_o and_o can_v only_o add_v that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o too_o secure_a nor_o too_o fearful_a but_o act_n as_o become_v good_a protestant_n and_o loyal_a subject_n we_o shall_v see_v the_o doom_n of_o the_o plot_n and_o of_o all_o plotter_n farewell_n i_o must_v be_v go_v finis_fw-la
