take_v full_a contentment_n as_o many_o can_v bear_v i_o witness_v when_o i_o have_v in_o my_o hand_n so_o great_a a_o power_n and_o arbitrariness_n the_o soldiery_n be_v a_o very_a considerable_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n especial_o all_o government_n be_v dissolve_v i_o say_v when_o all_o government_n be_v thus_o dissolve_v and_o nothing_o to_o keep_v thing_n in_o order_n but_o the_o sword_n and_o yet_o they_o which_o many_o history_n will_v not_o parallel_v even_o they_o be_v desirous_a that_o thing_n may_v come_v to_o a_o consistency_n and_o arbirrariness_n may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o government_n put_v into_o a_o person_n limit_v and_o bound_v as_o in_o the_o act_n of_o settlement_n who_o they_o destru_v the_o least_o and_o love_v not_o the_o worst_a this_o be_v another_o evidence_n i_o will_v not_o forget_v the_o honourable_a and_o civil_a entertainment_n with_o the_o approbation_n i_o find_v in_o the_o great_a city_n of_o london_n which_o the_o city_n know_v whether_o i_o direct_o or_o indirect_o seek_v and_o true_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o be_v folly_n to_o remember_v this_o for_o it_o be_v very_o great_a and_o high_a and_o very_o public_a and_o as_o numerous_a a_o body_n of_o those_o that_o be_v know_v by_o name_n and_o t●ttles_n the_o several_a corporation_n and_o society_n of_o citizen_n in_o this_o city_n as_o have_v be_v at_o any_o time_n see_v in_o england_n and_o not_o without_o some_o appearance_n of_o satisfaction_n also_o i_o have_v not_o only_o this_o witness_n but_o i_o have_v have_v from_o the_o great_a county_n in_o england_n and_o from_o many_o city_n and_o borough_n and_o many_o county_n explicit_a approbation_n not_o of_o those_o gather_v here_o and_o there_o but_o from_o the_o county_n of_o york_n and_o city_n of_o york_n and_o other_o county_n and_o place_n assemble_v in_o their_o public_a and_o general_a assize_n the_o grand-jury_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o nobleman_n gentleman_n yeoman_n and_o inhabitant_n of_o that_o county_n give_v very_o great_a thanks_o to_o i_o for_o undertake_v this_o heavy_a berden_n at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o give_v very_o great_a approbation_n and_o encouragement_n to_o i_o to_o go_v through_o with_o it_o these_o be_v plain_a i_o have_v they_o to_o show_v and_o by_o these_o in_o some_o measure_n it_o will_v appear_v i_o do_v not_o bear_v witness_n to_o myself_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o judge_n and_o true_o i_o have_v almost_o forget_v it_o they_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o dissolution_n of_o government_n meet_v and_o consult_v and_o do_v declare_v one_o to_o another_o that_o they_o can_v not_o administer_v justice_n to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o conscience_n until_o they_o have_v receive_v commission_n from_o i_o and_o they_o do_v receive_v commission_n from_o i_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o those_o commission_n they_o have_v act_v and_o all_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n that_o have_v act_v have_v act_v by_o virtue_n of_o like_a commission_n which_o be_v a_o little_a more_o than_o a_o implicit_a approbation_n and_o i_o believe_v all_o the_o justice_n administer_v in_o the_o nation_n have_v be_v by_o this_o authority_n which_o also_o i_o lay_v before_o you_o desire_v you_o to_o think_v whether_o all_o these_o person_n beforementioned_a must_v not_o come_v before_o you_o for_o a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n and_o general_n pardon_n who_o have_v act_v under_o and_o testify_v to_o this_o government_n if_o it_o be_v disown_v by_o you_o i_o have_v two_o or_o three_o witness_n more_o equivalent_a to_o all_o these_o i_o have_v reckon_v if_o i_o be_v not_o mistake_v and_o great_o mistake_v if_o i_o shall_v say_v all_o you_o that_o be_v here_o be_v my_o witness_n i_o shall_v say_v no_o untruth_n i_o know_v you_o be_v the_o same_o person_n here_o that_o you_o be_v in_o the_o country_n but_o i_o will_v reserve_v to_o speak_v to_o this_o at_o the_o last_o for_o this_o will_v be_v the_o issue_n of_o my_o speech_n i_o say_v i_o have_v two_o or_o three_o witness_n that_o be_v more_o than_o all_o i_o have_v account_v and_o reckon_v before_o all_o the_o people_n in_o england_n be_v my_o witness_n and_o many_o in_o ireland_n and_o scotland_n all_o the_o sheriff_n in_o england_n be_v my_o witness_n and_o all_o that_o come_v in_o upon_o the_o process_n issue_v out_o by_o the_o sheriff_n be_v my_o witness_n yea_o the_o return_v of_o the_o election_n to_o the_o clerk_n of_o the_o crown_n not_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v blow_v away_o with_o a_o breath_n the_o return_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n in_o the_o county_n city_n and_o borough_n all_o be_v my_o witness_n of_o approbation_n to_o the_o condition_n and_o place_n i_o stand_v in_o and_o i_o shall_v now_o make_v you_o my_o last_o witness_n and_o ask_v you_o whether_o you_o come_v not_o hither_o by_o my_o writ_n direct_v to_o the_o several_a sheriff_n and_o so_o to_o other_o officer_n in_o city_n and_o liberty_n to_o which_o the_o people_n give_v obedience_n have_v also_o have_v the_o act_n of_o government_n communicate_v to_o they_o to_o which_o end_n great_a number_n of_o copy_n be_v send_v down_o on_o purpose_n to_o be_v communicate_v to_o they_o and_o the_o government_n also_o require_v to_o be_v distinct_o read_v unto_o the_o people_n at_o the_o place_n of_o election_n to_o avoid_v surprise_v where_o also_o they_o sign_v the_o indenture_n with_o proviso_n that_o the_o person_n so_o choose_v shall_v not_o have_v power_n to_o alter_v the_o government_n as_o it_o be_v now_o settle_v in_o one_o single_a person_n and_o a_o parliament_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v make_v good_a my_o second_o assertion_n that_o i_o bear_v not_o witness_v to_o myself_o but_o the_o good_a people_n of_o england_n and_o you_o all_o be_v my_o witness_n yea_o sure_o and_o this_o be_v so_o though_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o my_o last_o speech_n that_o you_o be_v a_o free_a parliament_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v understand_v that_o i_o be_v the_o protector_n and_o the_o authority_n that_o call_v you_o and_o that_o i_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o government_n by_o a_o good_a right_n from_o god_n and_o man_n and_o i_o beheve_z if_o the_o learn_a man_n in_o this_o nation_n be_v call_v to_o to_o shaw_fw-mi a_o precedent_n so_o clear_a so_o many_o way_n approve_v of_o a_o government_n they_o will_v not_o in_o all_o their_o search_n find_v it_o i_o do_v not_o in_o my_o other_o speech_n to_o you_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o justify_v the_o government_n in_o every_o particular_a and_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o which_o be_v plain_a it_o be_v public_a and_o have_v be_v long_o publi●●…ed_v and_o it_o may_v be_v under_o the_o most_o serious_a inspection_n of_o all_o that_o please_v to_o peruse_v it_o by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v i_o have_v approve_v myself_o to_o god_n and_o my_o conscience_n in_o my_o action_n and_o in_o this_o undertake_n and_o i_o have_v give_v cause_n of_o approve_v myself_o to_o every_o one_o of_o your_o conscience_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o shall_v we_o sport_v with_o it_o with_o a_o business_n thus_o serious_a may_v not_o this_o character_n this_o stamp_n bear_v equal_a poise_v with_o iany_n hereditary_a interest_n which_o may_v have_v and_o have_v have_v in_o the_o common_a law_n matter_n of_o dispute_n and_o trial_n of_o learning_n wherein_o many_o have_v exercise_v more_o w●t_v and_o spill_v more_o blood_n than_o i_o hope_v ever_o to_o live_v to_o see_v or_o hear_v of_o in_o this_o nation_n i_o say_v i_o do_v not_o know_v why_o i_o may_v not_o balance_v this_o providence_n as_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n with_o any_o hereditary_a interest_n as_o be_v less_o subject_a to_o those_o crack_n and_o flaw_n they_o be_v common_o incident_a unto_o which_o title_n have_v cost_v more_o blood_n in_o former_a time_n in_o this_o nation_n than_o we_o have_v leisure_n to_o speak_v of_o now_o now_o if_o this_o be_v thus_o and_o i_o be_o derive_v a_o title_n from_o god_n and_o man_n upon_o such_o account_n as_o these_o be_v although_o some_o man_n be_v froward_a yet_o that_o your_o judgement_n that_o be_v person_n send_v from_o all_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o acceptance_n of_o the_o government_n for_o you_o to_o disown_v or_o not_o to_o own_v
