for_o the_o same_o as_o it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o zeal_n of_o your_o heart_n shall_v make_v some_o of_o you_o in_o your_o speech_n rash_o to_o blame_v such_o as_o may_v be_v innocent_a of_o this_o attempt_n but_o upon_o the_o other_o part_n i_o wish_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o i_o will_v be_v sorry_a that_o any_o be_v innocent_a of_o this_o practice_n either_o domestical_a or_o foreign_a shall_v receive_v blame_n or_o harm_n for_o the_o same_o for_o although_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o it_o be_v the_o only_a blind_a superstition_n of_o their_o error_n in_o religion_n that_o lead_v they_o to_o this_o desperate_a device_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o all_o profess_v that_o romish_a religion_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o same_o for_o as_o it_o be_v true_a that_o no_o other_o sect_n of_o heretic_n not_o except_v turk_n jew_n nor_o pagan_a no_o not_o even_o those_o of_o calicute_n who_o adore_v the_o devil_n do_v ever_o maintain_v by_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o religion_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a or_o rather_o meritorious_a as_o the_o romish_a catholic_n call_v it_o to_o murder_v prince_n or_o people_n for_o quarrel_n of_o religion_n and_o although_o particular_a man_n of_o all_o profession_n of_o religion_n have_v be_v some_o thief_n some_o murderer_n some_o traitor_n yet_o ever_o when_o they_o come_v to_o their_o end_n and_o just_a punishment_n they_o confess_v their_o fault_n to_o be_v in_o their_o nature_n and_o not_o in_o their_o profession_n these_o romish_a catholic_n only_o except_v yet_o it_o be_v true_a on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o many_o honest_a man_n blind_v peradventure_o with_o some_o opinion_n of_o popery_n as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o sound_a in_o the_o question_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n or_o in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o sacrament_n or_o some_o such_o schoole-question_n yet_o do_v they_o either_o not_o know_v or_o at_o least_o not_o believe_v all_o the_o true_a ground_n of_o popery_n which_o be_v in_o deed_n the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o do_v we_o just_o confess_v that_o many_o papist_n especial_o our_o forefather_n lay_v their_o only_a trust_n upon_o christ_n and_o his_o merit_n at_o their_o last_o breath_n may_v be_v and_o often_o time_n be_v save_v detest_a in_o that_o point_n and_o think_v the_o crucltie_n of_o puritan_n worthy_a of_o fire_n that_o will_v admit_v no_o salvation_n to_o any_o papist_n i_o therefore_o thus_o do_v conclude_v this_o point_n that_o as_o upon_o the_o one_o part_v many_o honest_a man_n seduce_v with_o some_o error_n of_o popery_n may_v yet_o remain_v good_a and_o faithful_a subject_n so_o upon_o the_o other_o part_n none_o of_o those_o that_o true_o know_v and_o believe_v the_o whole_a ground_n and_o school_n conclusion_n of_o their_o doctrine_n can_v ever_o prove_v either_o good_a christian_n or_o faithful_a subject_n and_o for_o the_o part_n of_o foreign_a prince_n and_o state_n i_o may_v so_o much_o the_o more_o acquit_v they_o and_o their_o minister_n of_o their_o knowledge_n and_o consent_n to_o any_o such_o villainy_n as_o i_o may_v just_o say_v that_o in_o that_o point_n i_o better_o know_v all_o christian_a king_n by_o myself_o that_o no_o king_n nor_o prince_n of_o honour_n will_v ever_o abase_v himself_o so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n of_o so_o base_a and_o dishonourable_a a_o treachery_n wish_v you_o therefore_o that_o as_o god_n have_v give_v i_o a_o happy_a peace_n and_o amity_n with_o all_o other_o christian_a prince_n my_o neighbour_n as_o be_v even_o now_o very_o grave_o tell_v you_o by_o my_o l._n chancellor_n that_o so_o you_o will_v reverent_o judge_v and_o speak_v of_o they_o in_o this_o case_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v wish_v with_o those_o ancient_a philosopher_n that_o there_o be_v a_o crystal_a window_n in_o my_o breast_n wherein_o all_o my_o people_n may_v see_v the_o secret_a thought_n of_o my_o heart_n for_o than_o may_v you_o all_o see_v no_o alteration_n in_o my_o mind_n for_o this_o accident_n further_o than_o in_o these_o two_o point_n the_o first_o caution_n and_o wariness_n in_o government_n to_o discover_v and_o search_v out_o the_o mystery_n of_o this_o wickedness_n as_o far_o as_o may_v be_v the_o other_o after_o due_a trial_n severity_n of_o punishment_n upon_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v find_v guilty_a of_o so_o detestable_a and_o unheard_a of_o villainy_n and_o now_o in_o this_o matter_n if_o i_o have_v trouble_v your_o ear_n with_o a_o abrupt_a speech_n undigested_a in_o any_o good_a method_n or_o order_n you_o have_v to_o consider_v that_o a_o abrupt_a and_o unaduised_a speech_n do_v best_a become_v in_o the_o relation_n of_o so_o abrupt_a and_o unorderly_o a_o accident_n and_o although_o i_o have_v ordain_v the_o prorogue_a of_o this_o parliament_n until_o after_o christmas_n upon_o two_o necessary_a respect_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v that_o neither_o i_o nor_o

affair_n of_o the_o parliament_n as_o the_o council_n must_v do_v and_o the_o other_o reason_n be_v the_o necessity_n at_o this_o time_n of_o diverse_a of_o your_o presence_n in_o your_o shire_n that_o have_v charge_n and_o commandment_n there_o for_o as_o these_o wretch_n think_v to_o have_v blow_v up_o in_o a_o manner_n the_o whole_a world_n of_o this_o island_n every_o man_n be_v now_o come_v up_o here_o either_o for_o public_a cause_n of_o parliament_n or_o else_o for_o their_o own_o private_a cause_n in_o law_n or_o otherwise_o so_o these_o rebel_n that_o now_o wander_v through_o
