against_o the_o same_o as_o a_o harmony_n or_o good_a accord_n between_o the_o parliament_n and_o army_n which_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o good_a man_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v our_o study_n to_o

of_o our_o great_a adversary_n our_o desire_n concerning_o a_o just_a consideration_n and_o settlement_n of_o the_o king_n right_n his_o majesty_n first_o give_v his_o concurrence_n to_o settle_v and_o secure_v the_o right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o kingdom_n we_o have_v already_o public_o declare_v in_o our_o representation_n and_o remonstrance_n since_o the_o first_o of_o those_o paper_n send_v to_o the_o parliament_n there_o have_v be_v several_a officer_n of_o the_o army_n upon_o several_a occasion_n send_v to_o his_o majesty_n the_o first_o to_o present_v to_o he_o a_o copy_n of_o

time_n send_v to_o his_o majesty_n about_o his_o remove_n from_o hatfield_n to_o dissuade_v if_o possible_o from_o windsor_n or_o any_o place_n so_o near_o london_n to_o some_o place_n of_o further_a distance_n answerable_a to_o what_o we_o have_v desire_v of_o the_o parliament_n in_o all_o which_o address_n to_o his_o majesty_n we_o care_v not_o who_o know_v what_o have_v be_v say_v or_o do_v for_o as_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o bargain_n for_o or_o to_o ask_v either_o from_o his_o majesty_n or_o the_o parliament_n for_o advantage_n to_o ourselves_o or_o any_o particular_a party_n or_o interest_n of_o our_o own_o so_o in_o all_o those_o address_n to_o his_o majesty_n we_o have_v utter_o disclaim_v and_o disavow_v any_o such_o thing_n or_o any_o overture_n or_o thought_n tend_v that_o way_n but_o the_o only_a intent_n and_o effect_n of_o those_o our_o address_n have_v be_v to_o desire_v and_o endeavour_v his_o majesty_n free_a concurrence_n with_o the_o parliament_n for_o establish_v and_o secure_v the_o common_a right_n and_o liberty_n and_o settle_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o assure_v he_o that_o the_o public_a be_v so_o provide_v for_o with_o such_o his_o majesty_n concurrence_n it_o be_v full_o agreeable_a to_o our_o principle_n and_o shall_v be_v our_o desire_n and_o endeavour_v that_o with_o and_o in_o such_o settle_n of_o the_o

as_o we_o have_v public_o declare_v for_o the_o same_o in_o general_a term_n so_o if_o thing_n come_v to_o a_o way_n of_o settlement_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v want_v in_o our_o sphere_n to_o own_o that_o general_a desire_n in_o any_o particular_n of_o natural_a or_o civil_a right_n to_o his_o majesty_n person_n or_o family_n which_o may_v not_o prejudice_v or_o again_o endanger_v the_o public_a and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o his_o majesty_n shall_v find_v all_o personal_a civility_n and_o respect_n from_o we_o with_o all_o reasonable_a freedom_n that_o may_v stand_v with_o safety_n and_o with_o the_o trust_n or_o charge_n lie_v upon_o we_o concerning_o his_o person_n you_o have_v here_o the_o utmost_a sum_n of_o what_o have_v pass_v from_o we_o to_o his_o majesty_n and_o we_o can_v wish_v all_o man_n do_v right_o understand_v without_o misrepresentation_n every_o particular_a wherein_o as_o we_o know_v nothing_o not_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n justice_n honesty_n or_o

common_a prejudice_n suggest_v against_o we_o as_o if_o we_o be_v utter_a enemy_n to_o monarchy_n and_o all_o civil_a order_n or_o government_n and_o for_o that_o particular_a of_o the_o duke_n of_o richmond_n and_o the_o two_o chapleins_n late_o permit_v to_o attend_v his_o majesty_n it_o be_v not_o do_v without_o much_o reluctancy_n because_o therein_o we_o doubt_v we_o may_v be_v misunderstand_v by_o the_o kingdom_n best_a friend_n but_o upon_o his_o majesty_n continue_v importunity_n for_o it_o as_o a_o thing_n very_o near_o concerning_o his_o present_a inward_a and_o outward_a contentment_n and_o conceive_v those_o person_n such_o as_o we_o hope_v will_v not_o do_v ill_a office_n to_o prejudice_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n we_o do_v give_v way_n to_o it_o and_o the_o person_n before_o they_o come_v have_v notice_n of_o the_o permission_n and_o as_o we_o then_o think_v so_o we_o still_o do_v think_v that_o to_o allow_v he_o some_o such_o company_n of_o person_n least_o dangerous_a who_o former_a acquaintance_n may_v make_v he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o and_o the_o allowance_n of_o some_o such_o chapleins_n of_o his_o own_o be_v thing_n both_o reasonable_a and_o just_a and_o the_o debar_n of_o that_o liberty_n in_o the_o latter_a we_o doubt_v will_v but_o make_v he_o more_o prejudice_v against_o other_o minister_n in_o general_a we_o humble_o conceive_v that_o to_o avoid_v all_o harshness_n and_o afford_v all_o kind_a usage_n to_o his_o majesty_n person_n in_o thing_n consist_v with_o the_o peace_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v the_o most_o christian_n honourable_a and_o prudent_a way_n and_o in_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o representation_n and_o remonstrance_n of_o the_o army_n do_v express_v we_o think_v
