to_o be_v so_o fool_v to_o act_v their_o own_o ruin_n by_o their_o own_o hand_n for_o my_o part_n i_o blame_v not_o any_o modest_a way_n of_o petition_v for_o it_o be_v the_o people_n interest_n nor_o do_v i_o blame_v any_o of_o these_o county_n for_o petition_v for_o a_o treaty_n i_o real_o believe_v a_o treaty_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o settle_v the_o kingdom_n but_o i_o just_o blame_v the_o uncivil_a way_n of_o petition_v and_o abhor_v the_o practice_n of_o take_v arm_n against_o a_o parliament_n it_o be_v possible_a a_o treaty_n may_v conclude_v all_o difference_n but_o not_o very_o certain_a yet_o it_o will_v be_v more_o advantageous_a to_o the_o parliament_n then_o to_o the_o king_n my_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o people_n conceive_v the_o king_n will_v consent_v to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v right_a and_o that_o he_o be_v now_o another_o man_n will_v confirm_v law_n and_o secure_v the_o subject_n liberty_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v the_o desire_n of_o my_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o for_o i_o true_o honour_v the_o king_n but_o if_o his_o majesty_n upon_o trial_n shall_v refuse_v to_o do_v what_o the_o people_n say_v he_o will_v do_v and_o have_v offer_v or_o what_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o secure_v their_o right_n it_o will_v then_o plain_o appear_v to_o they_o and_o to_o all_o the_o world_n where_o the_o fault_n be_v and_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n will_v and_o must_v cleave_v to_o the_o parliament_n for_o safety_n but_o before_o there_o can_v be_v a_o treaty_n there_o must_v be_v some_o security_n else_o the_o parliament_n and_o with_o it_o all_o good_a subject_n may_v be_v destroy_v together_o for_o if_o they_o that_o have_v be_v the_o original_a of_o these_o bloody_a war_n draw_v his_o majesty_n from_o his_o parliament_n and_o
