must_v it_o be_v in_o such_o a_o period_n of_o time_n when_o so_o much_o danger_n threaten_v religion_n and_o government_n from_o that_o prevail_a party_n in_o england_n for_o man_n to_o arise_v in_o this_o land_n to_o discourage_v the_o heart_n and_o weaken_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n by_o their_o malignant_a and_o insolent_a attempt_n 5._o how_o little_a pity_n have_v they_o nay_o certain_o their_o malice_n and_o cruelty_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o great_a who_o will_v needs_o after_o so_o many_o and_o long_o continue_a trouble_n and_o calamity_n again_o involve_v this_o land_n in_o confusion_n and_o blood_n it_o be_v the_o earnest_n and_o long_a desire_n and_o in_o some_o measure_n the_o hope_n and_o expectation_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n in_o this_o kingdom_n after_o so_o many_o storm_n and_o tempest_n which_o have_v toss_v they_o for_o many_o day_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v now_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o harbour_n of_o tranquillity_n and_o peace_n and_o the_o man_n who_o shall_v obstruct_v or_o retard_v this_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o good_a man_n so_o certain_o he_o shall_v bring_v upon_o himself_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n from_o the_o lord_n and_o god_n shall_v make_v his_o memory_n stink_v unto_o the_o generation_n that_o be_v to_o come_v 6._o what_o treachery_n and_o cruelty_n it_o be_v against_o the_o king_n majesty_n and_o what_o a_o obstruction_n in_o establish_v of_o his_o throne_n in_o such_o a_o nick_n of_o time_n when_o both_o state_n and_o kirk_n have_v send_v commissioner_n and_o give_v in_o desire_n to_o his_o majesty_n in_o those_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o secure_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o settle_n of_o his_o majesty_n government_n and_o the_o peace_n of_o these_o kingdom_n for_o any_o to_o raise_v new_a commotion_n and_o trouble_n which_o can_v but_o foment_n jealousy_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n and_o beget_v and_o entertain_v difference_n among_o they_o unto_o the_o estrang_a their_o affection_n one_o from_o another_o and_o whosoever_o be_v the_o author_n thereof_o or_o accessary_a thereto_o shall_v just_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o enemy_n to_o religion_n to_o his_o majesty_n person_n and_o government_n upon_o who_o the_o guilt_n of_o all_o those_o misery_n that_o may_v come_v upon_o his_o majesty_n or_o his_o royal_a family_n do_v lie_v in_o a_o special_a way_n these_o and_o any_o other_o consideration_n do_v exceed_o heighten_v and_o increase_v the_o guilt_n of_o that_o wicked_a insurrection_n both_o before_o god_n and_o man_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v earnest_o beseech_v and_o exhort_v all_o who_o live_v in_o this_o land_n that_o as_o they_o tender_v their_o solemn_a obligation_n and_o oath_n both_o by_o the_o nationall_n covenant_n and_o by_o the_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n and_o as_o they_o love_v the_o honour_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n and_o as_o they_o respect_v the_o king_n honour_n and_o happiness_n and_o desire_v religion_n to_o be_v secure_v and_o peace_n to_o be_v settle_v nay_o as_o they_o wish_v to_o eschew_v the_o heavy_a wrath_n and_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o do_v not_o give_v any_o countenance_n nor_o assistance_n nor_o connivance_n to_o these_o wicked_a man_n in_o their_o wicked_a way_n much_o less_o to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o counsel_n or_o in_o arm_n and_o because_o it_o lie_v upon_o we_o to_o be_v faithful_a in_o our_o station_n therefore_o as_o we_o have_v already_o give_v warning_n unto_o these_o man_n that_o unless_o they_o do_v speedy_o desist_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o repent_v that_o we_o will_v proceed_v against_o they_o with_o the_o dreadful_a sentence_n of_o
