to_o the_o king_n of_o these_o nation_n the_o humble_a representation_n of_o several_a society_n common_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o anabaptist_n where_o in_o short_a they_o declare_v their_o innocency_n suffering_n dcsire_n &_o resolution_n whereas_o o_o king_n there-have_a of_o late_a year_n happen_v in_o this_o nation_n many_o strange_a change_n and_o revolution_n to_o the_o great_a amazement_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n by_o which_o most_o man_n of_o all_o rank_n and_o quality_n have_v be_v subject_a to_o err_v from_o which_o we_o can_v altogether_o acquit_v ourselves_o yet_o this_o we_o can_v bold_o say_v that_o although_o some_o of_o we_o be_v in_o arm_n under_o the_o former_a power_n our_o end_n be_v not_o the_o destruction_n of_o man_n life_n but_o rarhe_a their_o preservation_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o rude_a multitude_n of_o their_o design_n which_o be_v no_o other_o than_o ruin_n and_o desolation_n where_o they_o do_v prevail_v this_o we_o say_v be_v our_o end_n whatsoever_o our_o adversary_n do_v say_v to_o our_o reproach_n and_o whereas_o o_o king_n there_o have_v within_o these_o few_o day_n be_v in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n very_o strange_a and_o

the_o portion_n of_o many_o of_o we_o to_o be_v take_v out_o of_o our_o house_n and_o from_o our_o employment_n beat_v and_o abuse_v in_o the_o street_n by_o the_o rude_a multitude_n hale_v before_o the_o justice_n &_o other_o officer_n and_o then_o have_v nothing_o to_o charge_v we_o with_o they_o put_v to_o we_o the_o oath_n or_o oath_n and_o upon_o refusal_n though_o christ_n have_v prohibit_v

now_o in_o we_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o the_o great_a part_n of_o we_o be_v against_o under_o the_o former_a power_n but_o that_o which_o wound_v we_o most_o o_o king_n be_v the_o late_a proclamation_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n make_v but_o as_o though_o all_o be_v alike_o in_o the_o transgression_n and_o have_v all_o make_v a_o ill_a use_n of_o thy_o indulgence_n and_o forfeit_v our_o liberty_n which_o do_v strengthen_v the_o rude_a multitude_n in_o their_o confidence_n that_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o some_o pernicious_a design_n against_o thou_o o_o king_n and_o the_o nation_n which_o false_a report_n great_o obstruct_v our_o liberty_n to_o meet_v together_o to_o pray_o and_o edify_v one_o another_o as_o also_o to_o meet_v in_o our_o own_o house_n to_o pray_v one_o with_o another_o which_o we_o humble_o conceive_v be_v our_o right_n as_o man_n and_o christian_n which_o if_o we_o do_v we_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v destroy_v by_o the_o rude_a multitude_n though_o we_o can_v be_v charge_v with_o any_o fact_n thus_o the_o guiltless_a suffer_v with_o the_o guilty_a which_o be_v averse_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o holy_a and_o just_a god_n and_o although_o our_o conscience_n do_v bear_v we_o witness_v that_o we_o have_v not_o abuse_v our_o liberty_n by_o any_o ill_a use_n that_o we_o have_v make_v of_o thy_o indulgence_n and_o that_o thy_o
