A89890	A plea for the King, and kingdome; by way of answer to the late remonstrance of the Army, presented to the House of Commons on Monday Novemb. 20. Proving, that it tends to subvert the lawes, and fundamentall constitutions of this kingdom, and demolish the very foundations of government in generall.	Nedham, Marchamont, 1620-1678.	1648 (1648)	Wing N402; Thomason E474_2; ESTC R202961	27,530	32

will_v defend_v they_o herein_o with_o fidelity_n and_o courage_n against_o all_o opposition_n teach_v they_o not_o by_o neglect_v your_o own_o and_o the_o kingdom_n safety_n in_o which_o their_o

and_o therefore_o be_v likely_a to_o find_v his_o future_a government_n of_o they_o insupportable_a and_o full_a of_o revenge_n than_o justice_n lest_o despair_n teach_v they_o to_o seek_v their_o safety_n by_o some_o other_o mean_n than_o by_o adhere_v to_o you_o who_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o yourselves_o and_o how_o destructive_a such_o a_o resolution_n in_o they_o will_v be_v to_o you_o

to_o make_v they_o pass_v with_o the_o lord_n they_o have_v very_o hot_o debate_v against_o they_o insomuch_o that_o there_o be_v ten_o lord_n to_o ten_o but_o to_o turn_v the_o scale_n at_o the_o

so_o that_o now_o i_o leave_v the_o world_n to_o judge_v the_o falsehood_n of_o the_o remonstrance_n in_o this_o particular_a it_o be_v clear_a that_o that_o the_o house_n be_v act_v beyond_o their_o free_a judgement_n and_o by_o impulsion_n from_o the_o army_n in_o pass_v the_o vote_n of_o non-addresse_a unto_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o have_v acknowledge_v among_o

upon_o the_o very_a close_a of_o the_o treaty_n with_o this_o high-flowne_a remonstrance_n to_o the_o second_o whereas_o the_o remonstrance_n say_v that_o before_o the_o pass_v those_o 4._o vote_n the_o people_n be_v full_a of_o discontent_n and_o distemper_n but_o after_o they_o be_v pass_v the_o kingdom_n be_v in_o a_o hopeful_a posture_n of_o settlement_n i_o answer_v that_o though_o the_o

out_o of_o charity_n with_o the_o grandee_n for_o those_o four_o vote_n that_o every_o man_n even_o among_o the_o moderate_a well-affected_a as_o they_o call_v they_o do_v detest_v the_o proceed_n insomuch_o that_o none_o will_v second_v they_o by_o petition_n or_o otherwise_o though_o they_o proceed_v almost_o so_o far_o as_o to_o compel_v they_o witness_v the_o design_n of_o prideaux_n to_o

by_o a_o petition_n which_o be_v second_v through_o the_o inoustry_n of_o sergeant_n wilde_n as_o he_o ride_v the_o circuit_n by_o the_o subscription_n of_o a_o pack_v grand_a jury_n for_o the_o

the_o petitioner_n as_o the_o surrey_n man_n and_o discountenance_v the_o rest_n be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o the_o late_a insurrection_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v evident_a against_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o remonstrance_n that_o the_o four_o vote_n rather_o unsettled_a the_o kingdom_n than_o bring_v it_o into_o a_o hopeful_a posture_n of_o settlement_n to_o the_o three_o falsehood_n of_o the_o romonstrance_n that_o when_o the_o house_n recall_v the_o four_o vote_n their_o judgement_n be_v not_o with_o due_a freedom_n i_o answer_v that_o when_o the_o face_n of_o affair_n change_v so_o that_o the_o army_n can_v no_o long_o overawe_n the_o house_n then_o have_v liberty_n to_o vote_n with_o freedom_n and_o according_a to_o their_o conscience_n they_o immediate_o recall_v the_o vote_n of_o non-address_a upon_o the_o petition_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o other_o county_n about_o which_o be_v debate_v in_o the_o house_n free_o be_v then_o release_v from_o that_o

wednesday_n the_o 16_o of_o august_n where_o they_o receive_v a_o full_a and_o free_a concurrence_n with_o very_o little_a contradiction_n thus_o the_o falsehood_n of_o these_o three_o particular_n
