a_o speech_n make_v by_o a_o true_a protestant_a english_a gentleman_n to_o encourage_v the_o city_n of_o london_n to_o petition_v for_o the_o sit_v of_o the_o parliament_n gentleman_n i_o shall_v not_o i_o hope_v i_o need_v not_o use_v many_o argument_n to_o persuade_v you_o to_o look_v about_o you_o the_o popish_a cloud_n be_v gather_v and_o must_v and_o will_v fall_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o important_a truth_n need_v no_o artificial_a dress_n to_o re-commend_a they_o but_o to_o my_o unspeakable_a grief_n i_o speak_v it_o we_o live_v in_o a_o sordid_a degenerate_a age_n wherein_o truth_n be_v under_o the_o high_a discouragement_n and_o force_v into_o corner_n the_o secret_a place_n where_o possible_o a_o few_o own_o it_o yet_o i_o can_v but_o hope_v at_o last_o it_o will_v work_v its_o own_o way_n and_o will_v overcome_v and_o surmount_v all_o malicious_a art_n and_o discouragement_n however_o gentleman_n i_o be_o not_o a_o little_a comfort_v to_o see_v man_n be_v more_o and_o more_o awake_a out_o of_o their_o lethargy_n i_o hope_v i_o speak_v to_o true_a protestant_a english_a spirit_n my_o way_n be_v plainness_n and_o i_o do_v study_v it_o because_o i_o know_v englishman_n love_v plain_a sincere_a deal_v i_o shall_v not_o enlarge_v though_o i_o can_v to_o a_o volume_n but_o will_v only_o as_o in_o a_o mirror_n or_o glass_n represent_v that_o you_o be_v determine_v by_o popish_a design_n and_o measure_n to_o bondage_n worse_a than_o egyptian_a and_o that_o of_o a_o long_a duration_n i_o set_v before_o you_o the_o death_n or_o life_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n our_o life_n and_o liberty_n let_v your_o zeal_n direct_v your_o choice_n the_o stock_n be_v great_a we_o must_v work_v while_o it_o be_v day_n lest_o the_o night_n of_o popery_n come_v its_o already_o darkish_a than_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_a except_o we_o see_v by_o smithfield_n light_n the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v god_n honour_n and_o the_o great_a blessing_n on_o this_o side_n heaven_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v weigh_v how_o far_o the_o very_a notional_a honour_n of_o the_o world_n lead_v man_n to_o a_o vindication_n of_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o friend_n or_o relation_n it_o put_v life_n and_o estate_n to_o hazard_v then_o how_o infinite_o more_o ought_v we_o upon_o a_o much_o more_o true_o noble_a account_n it_o be_v a_o title_n and_o character_n infinite_o above_o the_o high_a title_n the_o world_n can_v confer_v to_o be_v call_v and_o style_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n which_o none_o deserve_v nor_o can_v ever_o arrive_v at_o but_o such_o as_o vindicate_v and_o assert_v with_o their_o blood_n the_o true_a worship_n which_o be_v god_n glory_n and_o honour_n and_o our_o great_a dignity_n and_o privilege_n to_o be_v call_v to_o so_o noble_a at_o work_n and_o service_n which_o have_v its_o reward_n in_o itself_o and_o crown_n that_o never_o fade_v for_o the_o conqueror_n life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n be_v only_o desirable_a as_o they_o be_v inablement_n and_o as_o it_o be_v habiliment_n for_o this_o glorious_a warfare_n and_o but_o as_o dust_n in_o the_o balance_n though_o great_a temporal_a mean_n and_o blessing_n thankful_o to_o be_v value_v and_o prize_v gentleman_n all_z those_o be_v now_o in_o manifest_a hazard_n yet_o only_o under_o god_n a_o parliament_n can_v secure_v they_o to_o we_o may_v we_o not_o fear_v gentleman_n that_o there_o be_v some_o about_o the_o king_n who_o from_o the_o horror_n of_o their_o action_n be_v afraid_a the_o parliament_n shall_v sit_v and_o labour_n to_o
