man_n to_o this_o sentence_n i_o can_v imagine_v for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a by_o your_o own_o confession_n that_o he_o never_o employ_v the_o sword_n but_o against_o those_o who_o first_o

you_o must_v confess_v it_o to_o be_v nonsense_n for_o you_o must_v not_o only_o prove_v that_o those_o who_o fight_v against_o he_o be_v the_o people_n that_o trust_v he_o not_o those_o who_o fight_v for_o he_o but_o the_o lesser_a or_o less_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o people_n the_o people_n as_o you_o have_v the_o confidence_n to_o call_v your_o honourable_a client_n be_v not_o the_o twenty_o part_n of_o the_o very_a rabble_n which_o if_o you_o can_v do_v you_o be_v much_o wise_a than_o solomon_n for_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o divide_v a_o child_n into_o two_o part_n than_o to_o

remain_v six_o nor_o be_v there_o more_o justice_n or_o reason_n in_o the_o sentence_n than_o in_o the_o course_n you_o take_v to_o up-hold_a it_o for_o while_o you_o deny_v the_o old_a maxim_n of_o

to_o be_v the_o head_n thereof_o and_o yet_o you_o say_v the_o parliament_n be_v the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o nation_n thus_o you_o affirm_v that_o real_o to_o be_v which_o you_o think_v be_v impossible_a to_o imagine_v but_o such_o lucky_a contradicton_n of_o yourself_o as_o well_o as_o sense_n be_v as_o familiar_a with_o you_o as_o rail_n for_o beside_o the_o many_o before_o

his_o judge_n you_o compare_v to_o the_o saint_n sit_v in_o judgement_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o yet_o by_o your_o own_o doctrine_n they_o be_v more_o like_a bear_n and_o wolf_n in_o sit_v by_o

you_o call_v most_o impartial_a and_o yet_o can_v deny_v all_o his_o judge_n to_o be_v party_n and_o his_o profess_a enemy_n but_o you_o hit_v pretty_a right_n well_o when_o you_o say_v he_o cause_v

we_o hear_v some_o of_o the_o clear_a proof_n first_o he_o dare_v never_o deny_v it_o absolute_o beside_o the_o notorious_a falsehood_n of_o that_o it_o be_v most_o senseless_a to_o imagine_v that_o

have_v make_v a_o thousand_o declaration_n and_o have_v send_v to_o all_o prince_n in_o the_o world_n for_o assistance_n against_o such_o hellhound_n and_o bloodhound_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v

in_o his_o wit_n deny_v but_o the_o king_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v before_o either_o of_o these_o and_o yet_o you_o can_v be_v persuade_v but_o his_o offer_n to_o go_v in_o person_n to_o suppress_v the_o rebellion_n be_v a_o design_n to_o return_v at_o the_o head_n of_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o thousand_o rebel_n to_o have_v destroy_v this_o nation_n that_o be_v very_o strange_a but_o first_o
