this_o bill_n for_o the_o continue_n of_o the_o parliament_n as_o long_o as_o the_o two_o house_n please_v but_o now_o that_o the_o war_n be_v resolve_v on_o on_o both_o side_n what_o need_v any_o more_o dispute_n in_o write_n a._n i_o know_v not_o what_o need_n they_o have_v but_o on_o both_o side_n they_o think_v it_o needful_a to_o hinder_v one_o another_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v from_o levy_v of_o soldier_n and_o therefore_o the_o king_n do_v set_v forth_o declaration_n in_o print_n to_o make_v the_o people_n know_v that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o obey_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o new_a militia_n set_v up_o by_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n and_o also_o to_o let_v they_o see_v the_o legality_n of_o his_o own_o commission_n of_o array_n and_o the_o parliament_n on_o their_o part_n do_v the_o like_a to_o justify_v to_o the_o people_n the_o say_a ordinance_n and_o to_o make_v the_o commission_n of_o array_n appear_v unlawful_a b._n when_o the_o parliament_n be_v levy_v of_o soldier_n be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o the_o king_n to_o levy_v soldier_n to_o defend_v himself_o and_o his_o right_n though_o there_o have_v be_v no_o other_o title_n for_o it_o but_o

which_o they_o call_v precedent_n and_o make_v they_o think_v so_o well_o of_o their_o own_o knowledge_n in_o the_o law_n that_o they_o be_v of_o this_o occasion_n to_o show_v it_o against_o the_o

and_o such_o be_v the_o commission_n by_o which_o this_o king_n do_v then_o make_v his_o levy_n b._n why_o then_o be_v it_o not_o legal_a a._n no_o doubt_n but_o it_o be_v legal_a but_o what_o do_v that_o amount_v to_o with_o man_n that_o be_v already_o resolve_v to_o acknowledge_v for_o law_n nothing_o that_o be_v against_o their_o design_n of_o abolish_n monarchy_n and_o place_v a_o

and_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o for_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o war_n i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o history_n thereof_o write_v at_o large_a in_o english_a i_o shall_v only_o make_v use_n of_o such_o

this_o nor_o any_o other_o town_n in_o england_n be_v otherwise_o the_o king_n than_o in_o trust_n for_o the_o people_n of_o england_n b._n but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o parliament_n a._n yes_o say_v they_o for_o we_o be_v the_o representative_a of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n b._n i_o can_v see_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n we_o represent_v the_o people_n ergo_fw-la all_o that_o the_o people_n have_v be_v we_o the_o mayor_n of_o hull_n do_v represent_v the_o king_n be_v therefore_o all_o the_o king_n have_v in_o hull_n the_o mayor_n the_o people_n of_o england_n may_v be_v represent_v with_o limitation_n as_o to_o deliver_v a_o petition_n or_o the_o like_a do_v it_o follow_v that_o they_o who_o deliver_v the_o petition_n have_v right_o to_o all_o the_o town_n in_o england_n when_o begin_v this_o parliament_n to_o be_v a_o representative_a of_o england_n be_v it_o not_o november_n 3._o 1640_o who_o be_v it_o the_o day_n before_o that_o have_v the_o right_a to_o

because_o it_o be_v call_v the_o king_n town_n upon_o hull_n but_o because_o the_o king_n himself_o do_v then_o and_o ever_o represent_v the_o person_n of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n if_o he_o do_v not_o who_o then_o do_v the_o parliament_n have_v no_o be_v b._n they_o may_v perhaps_o say_v the_o people_n have_v then_o no_o representative_a a._n then_o there_o be_v no_o commonwealth_n and_o

upon_o they_o b._n sure_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v esteem_v the_o wise_a man_n in_o england_n be_v upon_o that_o account_n choose_v to_o be_v the_o parliament_n a._n and_o be_v they_o also_o esteem_v the_o wise_a man_n of_o england_n that_o choose_v they_o b._n i_o can_v tell_v that_o for_o i_o know_v it_o be_v usual_a with_o the_o freeholder_n in_o the_o county_n and_o the_o tradesman_n in_o the_o city_n and_o burrough_n to_o choose_v as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v such_o as_o be_v most_o repugnant_a to_o the_o give_v of_o subsidy_n a._n the_o king_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o august_n after_o he_o have_v summon_v hull_n and_o try_v some_o of_o the_o county_n thereabouts_o what_o they_o will_v do_v for_o he_o set_v up_o his_o standard_n at_o nottingham_n but_o there_o come_v not_o
