your_o country_n to_o bring_v the_o king_n back_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o ancestor_n and_o how_o in_o late_a time_n you_o stand_v firm_a for_o the_o succession_n in_o the_o direct_a line_n when_o so_o many_o of_o these_o very_a gentleman_n that_o now_o compose_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o have_v voted_n our_o king_n unqualify_v for_o the_o crown_n if_o you_o remember_v these_o reparation_n of_o your_o honour_n with_o joy_n and_o satisfaction_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o you_o have_v now_o a_o more_o glorious_a opportunity_n to_o eternize_v your_o loyalty_n and_o make_v yourselves_o famous_a to_o all_o posterity_n by_o your_o justice_n and_o fidelity_n to_o your_o king._n you_o just_o challenge_v a_o pre-eminence_n in_o that_o the_o lineal_a succession_n of_o your_o king_n be_v derive_v from_o a_o ancient_a original_a than_o that_o of_o most_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o though_o some_o interruption_n have_v happen_v by_o violent_a faction_n and_o ambition_n yet_o the_o direct_a line_n have_v be_v re-stated_n and_o the_o usurper_n have_v be_v mark_v with_o a_o most_o black_a character_n in_o all_o succeed_v age_n but_o i_o do_v not_o at_o

gallantry_n in_o feat_n of_o arm_n and_o will_v it_o not_o be_v a_o eternal_a blemish_n to_o your_o honour_n that_o you_o achieve_v so_o great_a renown_n abroad_o in_o defence_n of_o other_o prince_n right_n and_o suffer_v your_o own_o natural_a liege_n lord_n to_o be_v a_o exile_n and_o decline_v to_o vindicate_v his_o right_n in_o your_o own_o native_a country_n the_o support_v the_o right_n of_o your_o lawful_a king_n and_o stand_v firm_a to_o your_o law_n and_o allegiance_n be_v that_o which_o will_v gain_v to_o yourselves_o your_o son_n brethren_n and_o relation_n fame_n and_o glory_n

the_o guard_n and_o army_n of_o the_o great_a potentate_n when_o they_o find_v you_o so_o loyal_a to_o your_o lawful_a distress_a king._n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o furnish_v any_o with_o such_o invincible_a charm_n as_o justice_n and_o loyalty_n to_o one_o undoubted_a sovereign_n you_o must_v all_o be_v satisfy_v that_o the_o king_n have_v a_o most_o

to_o be_v great_a weighty_a and_o sacred_a obligation_n to_o you_o his_o majesty_n will_v industrious_o endeavour_v to_o promote_v your_o public_a and_o personal_a advantage_n it_o will_v be_v dishonourable_a in_o the_o utmost_a degree_n to_o have_v a_o foreign_a king_n impose_v on_o you_o that_o be_v a_o free_a people_n and_o have_v a_o sovereign_n of_o your_o own_o for_o who_o if_o you_o now_o declare_v and_o assert_v his_o right_n you_o will_v have_v the_o cheerful_a concurrence_n of_o a_o numerour_n party_n of_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o gentleman_n of_o england_n who_o even_o under_o the_o power_n and_o force_n of_o their_o king_n enemy_n dare_v be_v loyal_a and_o the_o very_o concur_v with_o the_o law_n and_o the_o suffrage_n of_o all_o just_a man_n will_v easy_o restore_v the_o king_n to_o his_o throne_n where_o be_v once_o peaceable_o seat_v beside_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o so_o great_a a_o action_n you_o may_v be_v assure_v you_o will_v want_v nothing_o either_o the_o king_n or_o the_o just_a loyal_a or_o religious_a party_n of_o england_n in_o gratitude_n can_v do_v for_o you_o to_o make_v you_o rich_a and_o happy_a i_o know_v they_o who_o think_v to_o bait_v you_o with_o the_o hope_n of_o gain_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n make_v you_o renounce_v your_o allegiance_n to_o your_o king_n tell_v you_o a_o fair_a story_n that_o they_o will_v obtain_v for_o you_o the_o so_o long_o project_v union_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o i_o hope_v you_o remember_v how_o you_o be_v use_v when_o the_o usurper_n cromwell_n grant_v

as_o well_o as_o their_o law_n upon_o you_o and_o some_o of_o your_o representatives_n be_v english_a officer_n and_o gentleman_n that_o know_v nothing_o of_o your_o country_n and_o the_o rest_n be_v so_o few_o that_o in_o every_o thing_n they_o be_v out-voted_n and_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o great_a man_n in_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n that_o some_o do_v positive_o say_v they_o will_v never_o grant_v you_o the_o favour_n to_o join_v your_o small_a stock_n with_o they_o and_o other_o do_v ingenious_o confess_v that_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o effect_v it_o though_o they_o judge_v the_o put_v you_o in_o hope_n of_o it_o may_v make_v you_o more_o easy_a to_o comply_v i_o hope_v therefore_o you_o will_v not_o forsake_v the_o king_n interest_n which_o only_o can_v make_v you_o renown_v and_o happy_a for_o a_o empty_a shadow_n it_o be_v your_o act_n like_o person_n of_o honour_n and_o justice_n and_o firm_o adhere_v to_o your_o king_n that_o must_v give_v you_o the_o best_a advantage_n both_o abroad_o and_o at_o home_o the_o king_n will_v never_o forget_v your_o kindness_n to_o he_o and_o you_o may_v not_o be_v only_o

any_o who_o eager_o seek_v to_o obtain_v a_o unjust_a possession_n yet_o every_o man_n that_o act_n upon_o principle_n of_o honour_n and_o justice_n will_v certain_o be_v better_a esteem_v even_o by_o such_o than_o they_o who_o servy_o or_o tame_o concur_v with_o unjust_a usurper_n for_o though_o to_o gain_v the_o point_n they_o aim_v at_o they_o offer_v all_o plausible_a argument_n to_o procure_v

and_o tell_v they_o truth_n you_o also_o know_v that_o before_o the_o prince_n have_v publish_v his_o declaration_n the_o king_n have_v grant_v most_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o the_o say_a
