themselves_o by_o vote_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o king_n proposition_n to_o restore_v he_o to_o a_o condition_n of_o freedom_n honour_n and_o safety_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n which_o be_v the_o army_n own_o proposal_n in_o his_o behalf_n in_o august_n 1647._o we_o can_v neither_o in_o honesty_n honour_n justice_n nor_o conscience_n be_v he_o ten_o thousand_o time_n worse_o than_o the_o army_n will_v render_v he_o depose_v and_o bring_v he_o to_o execution_n it_o be_v against_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o honour_n between_o two_o profess_a enemy_n who_o have_v no_o relation_n one_o to_o another_o much_o more_o between_o king_n and_o subject_n in_o a_o civil_a war_n a_o thing_n without_o precedent_n in_o any_o age_n to_o this_o the_o army_n remonstrance_n answer_v that_o this_o will_v be_v think_v a_o unreasonable_a and_o unbeseeming_a demand_n in_o a_o personal_a treaty_n between_o person_n stand_v both_o free_a and_o in_o equal_a

of_o turk_n and_o atheist_n than_o pious_a saint_n 8._o there_o be_v no_o precedent_n in_o scripture_n that_o the_o general_n assembly_n or_o sanhedrin_n of_o the_o jew_n or_o israelite_n do_v ever_o

who_o shed_v much_o innocent_a blood_n and_o oppress_v the_o people_n sundry_a way_n we_o know_v that_o david_n himself_o commit_v adultery_n with_o uriah_n his_o wife_n a_o faithful_a servant_n and_o

joab_n and_o the_o army_n under_o he_o do_v impeach_v or_o crave_v justice_n against_o he_o for_o these_o sin_n though_o he_o live_v impenitent_o in_o they_o and_o when_o he_o number_v the_o people_n afterwards_o for_o which_o sin_n seventy_o thousand_o of_o his_o subject_n lose_v their_o life_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o arraign_v nor_o depose_v for_o it_o and_o god_n who_o be_v sovereign_o just_a though_o david_n be_v the_o principal_a malefactor_n in_o this_o case_n if_o not_o the_o sole_a and_o thereupon_o when_o he_o see_v the_o angel_n that_o smite_v the_o people_n cry_v out_o lo_o i_o have_v sin_v and_o do_v wicked_o but_o these_o sheep_n what_o have_v they_o do_v let_v thy_o hand_n be_v against_o i_o and_o my_o father_n house_n yet_o god_n spare_v he_o and_o his_o household_n though_o the_o principal_n and_o punish_v the_o people_n only_o with_o death_n for_o this_o sin_n of_o he_o after_o he_o solomon_n his_o son_n a_o man_n eminent_a for_o wisdom_n and_o piety_n at_o

heavy_a yet_o the_o subject_n or_o soldier_n do_v neither_o impeach_v nor_o depose_v he_o for_o it_o and_o though_o he_o be_v the_o principal_a offender_n yet_o god_n spare_v he_o for_o david_n sake_n in_o not_o take_v the_o ten_o tribe_n from_o he_o for_o these_o sin_n during_o his_o life_n though_o he_o rend_v they_o from_o his_o son_n rehoboam_n who_o be_v at_o most_o but_o accessary_a for_o his_o father_n sin_n not_o he_o true_a it_o be_v some_o of_o the_o idolatrous_a king_n of_o israel_n by_o the_o just_a avenge_a hand_n of_o god_n be_v slay_v by_o private_a conspiracy_n and_o popular_a tumult_n in_o a_o illegal_a way_n but_o not_o depose_v nor_o arraign_v by_o their_o sanhedrin_n or_o general_a congregation_n and_o those_o who_o slay_v they_o be_v sometime_o slay_v by_o other_o who_o aspire_v to_o the_o crown_n or_o by_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n or_o by_o their_o child_n who_o succeed_v they_o and_o come_v to_o untimely_a tragical_a end_n 9_o though_o there_o be_v some_o precedent_n of_o popisb_n state_n and_o parliament_n depose_v their_o popish_a king_n and_o emperor_n at_o home_n and_o in_o foreign_a part_n in_o a_o extraordinary_a way_n by_o power_n of_o a_o arm_a party_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o precedent_n of_o any_o one_o protestant_a kingdom_n or_o state_n that_o do_v ever_o yet_o judical_o depose_v or_o bring_v to_o execution_n any_o of_o their_o king_n and_o prince_n though_o never_o so_o bad_a whether_o protestant_n or_o papist_n and_o the_o protestant_n in_o france_n though_o some_o of_o their_o king_n when_o they_o have_v invest_v they_o in_o their_o throne_n become_v apostate_n to_o popery_n and_o persecutor_n of_o their_o people_n albeit_o they_o resist_v they_o by_o force_n of_o arm_n in_o the_o field_n to_o preserve_v their_o life_n do_v never_o once_o attempt_v to_o pull_v they_o from_o their_o throne_n or_o bring_v their_o person_n unto_o justice_n and_o i_o hope_v our_o protestant_a parliament_n will_v never_o make_v the_o first_o precedent_n in_o this_o kind_n nor_o stain_v their_o honour_n or_o religion_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o protestant_a king_n against_o so_o many_o oath_n protestation_n

for_o his_o most_o abominable_a tyranny_n and_o cruelty_n yet_o they_o never_o adjudge_v or_o put_v he_o to_o death_n but_o only_o restrain_v he_o as_o a_o prisoner_n i_o shall_v only_o add_v this_o that_o though_o the_o elective_a kindom_n of_o hungary_n bohemia_n poland_n denmark_n and_o sweden_n have_v in_o their_o parliament_n and_o diet_n depose_v sundry_a of_o their_o king_n for_o their_o

act_v by_o traitor_n in_o this_o particular_a to_o render_v both_o parliament_n army_n and_o our_o religion_n too_o for_o ever_o execrable_a throughout_o the_o world_n and_o set_v all_o man_n pen_n
