bristol_n second_o address_n as_o it_o be_v present_v to_o their_o late_a member_n in_o parliament_n at_o their_o return_n from_o oxford_n to_o the_o right_n worshipful_a sir_n richard_n hart_n

you_o may_v see_v the_o short_a life_n of_o the_o late_a parliament_n have_v not_o influence_v we_o to_o change_v by_o alter_v our_o duty_n to_o our_o sovereign_n or_o our_o respect_n to_o you_o we_o now_o receive_v you_o into_o this_o city_n with_o the_o same_o loyal_a affection_n that_o we_o conduct_v you_o out_o on_o your_o journey_n to_o oxford_n ii_o we_o be_v neither_o presbyterian_o nor_o any_o of_o those_o sect_n who_o presume_v to_o pry_v into_o god_n secret_a counsel_n be_v the_o less_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o they_o saucy_o canvas_v and_o dispute_v all_o the_o action_n of_o his_o vicegerent_n and_o therefore_o we_o enter_v not_o into_o the_o reason_n move_v his_o majesty_n unto_o this_o sudden_a dissolution_n but_o humble_o acquiesce_v therein_o with_o duty_n and_o loyalty_n become_v honest_a and_o peaceable_o mind_a subject_n iii_o whatever_o the_o author_n of_o vox_fw-la populi_n or_o other_o factious_a and_o seditious_a scribbler_n have_v with_o very_o ill_a purpose_n and_o design_n of_o late_a false_o insinuate_v into_o the_o people_n we_o be_v sensible_a that_o the_o power_n of_o call_v and_o dissolve_v parliament_n at_o pleasure_n be_v one_o of_o those_o inseparable_a prerogative_n of_o the_o crown_n which_o no_o less_o necessary_a for_o the_o subject_n safety_n than_o the_o prince_n grandeur_n we_o in_o the_o three_o article_n of_o our_o former_a address_n assert_v and_o defend_v against_o all_o opposer_n iv._o we_o be_v abundant_o satisfy_v that_o our_o gracious_a king_n who_o have_v hitherto_o make_v the_o law_n the_o measure_n of_o his_o action_n and_o proceed_n will_v still_o continue_v to_o we_o the_o same_o just_a practice_n and_o be_v assure_v by_o our_o former_a experience_n and_o his_o royal_a promise_n in_o his_o most_o

grant_v that_o he_o see_v no_o less_o just_a cause_n for_o the_o dissolve_v this_o than_o the_o precede_a parliament_n v._o have_v this_o parliament_n continue_v a_o week_n long_o we_o have_v not_o as_o now_o want_v a_o opportunity_n of_o vindicate_v our_o election_n of_o you_o our_o true_a representative_n to_o the_o great_a dishonour_n of_o your_o competitor_n in_o the_o refutation_n of_o
