for_o the_o parliament_n to_o determine_v against_o such_o as_o bring_v my_o lord_n russel_n and_o other_o to_o a_o illegal_a cruel_a and_o untimely_a death_n and_o it_o be_v our_o author_n be_v bold_a affirmation_n that_o they_o be_v as_o safe_a as_o under_o a_o indemnity_n that_o have_v minister_v the_o occasion_n of_o discourse_v upon_o this_o topick_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o very_o ill_o instruct_v in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v hurry_v to_o their_o grave_n through_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o late_a time_n my_o remembrance_n of_o they_o be_v not_o more_o perfect_a than_o one_o may_v be_v presume_v to_o retain_v from_o a_o transient_a and_o cursory_a perusal_n of_o their_o trial_n but_o by_o a_o general_a consent_n of_o all_o lawyer_n the_o sentence_n against_o many_o of_o they_o be_v not_o more_o to_o be_v defend_v than_o that_o of_o my_o lord_n r._n mr._n sidney_n and_o mr._n hampden_n have_v the_o same_o weak_a foundation_n only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o the_o latter_a plead_v guilty_a but_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v upon_o my_o lord_n russel_n case_n that_o he_o be_v not_o unless_o he_o be_v conscious_a of_o some_o other_o guilt_n than_o be_v charge_v on_o that_o noble_a lord_n it_o be_v true_a in_o all_o inferior_a jurisdiction_n and_o court_n he_o be_v estope_v to_o say_v he_o be_v innocent_a and_o that_o the_o plea_n be_v extort_a from_o he_o through_o menace_n of_o hang_v draw_v and_o quarter_a because_o the_o admittance_n of_o such_o a_o plea_n be_v repugnant_a to_o a_o rule_n of_o law_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o averment_n against_o matter_n of_o record_n and_o the_o plea_n be_v record_v but_o whatever_o act_n in_o pais_fw-fr and_o that_o be_v not_o record_v a_o man_n execute_v unvoluntary_o by_o duress_n or_o threat_n of_o be_v beat_v imprison_a or_o sear_v of_o other_o bodily_a hurt_n he_o may_v avoid_v they_o by_o plead_v the_o special_a matter_n in_o a_o inferior_a court_n as_o for_o the_o purpose_n all_o bond_n specialty_n deed_n conveyance_n etc._n etc._n if_o a_o man_n consider_v this_o difference_n abstract_v from_o the_o aforesaid_a maxim_n it_o will_v seem_v very_o absurd_a and_o unreasonable_a that_o one_o shall_v be_v allow_v to_o disannul_v a_o act_n he_o persorm_v to_o save_v a_o beat_n or_o a_o short_a imprisonment_n for_o which_o the_o law_n will_v have_v give_v he_o reparation_n proportionable_a to_o the_o damage_n he_o shall_v sustain_v and_o that_o mr._n h._n shall_v not_o be_v receive_v to_o make_v vo●d_v his_o plea_n by_o say_v that_o he_o be_v force_v to_o it_o to_o save_v himself_o and_o family_n from_o the_o ignominy_n of_o die_v under_o a_o gallow_n therefore_o in_o case_n of_o this_o nature_n the_o parliament_n ought_v to_o give_v aid_n and_o relief_n which_o may_v be_v do_v without_o inconvenience_n since_o the_o parliament_n the_o seat_n of_o the_o legislative_a power_n have_v a_o unlimited_a

the_o prejudice_n of_o my_o lord_n russel_n since_o it_o be_v altogether_o involuntary_a upon_o the_o whole_a i_o have_v peruse_v that_o noble_a lord_n trial_n with_o the_o exact_a care_n and_o

the_o justice_n dispense_v to_o he_o by_o the_o court._n his_o judgement_n can_v be_v defend_v without_o reflection_n on_o our_o present_a government_n which_o be_v found_v on_o the_o generous_a and_o

that_o engage_v in_o this_o revolution_n be_v justify_v by_o a_o great_a number_n of_o breach_n and_o violation_n of_o our_o law_n and_o we_o have_v carry_v our_o resentment_n further_o there_o be_v

in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o by_o law_n establish_v i_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v the_o best_a constitute_v church_n in_o the_o world_n both_o for_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n and_o as_o upon_o the_o reformation_n she_o cashier_v those_o luxuriant_a ceremony_n that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n spread_v so_o far_o as_o to_o cover_v and_o shadow_v the_o

but_o my_o affection_n to_o the_o church_n can_v so_o far_o blind_v my_o judgement_n as_o to_o approve_v the_o conduct_n of_o a_o great_a many_o of_o her_o minister_n and_o clergy_n i_o be_v willing_a to_o compound_v with_o they_o and_o to_o admit_v that_o fight_v their_o mother_n battle_n with_o so_o great_a courage_n in_o her_o late_a distress_n shall_v be_v a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o shrieve_v and_o absolve_v they_o from_o their_o former_a error_n and_o miscarriage_n but_o i_o can_v hardly_o forgive_v such_o as_o now_o unreasonable_o return_v to_o their_o vomit_n of_o passive_a obedience_n which_o they_o themselves_o by_o experience_n so_o late_o find_v to_o be_v absurd_a and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o general_a law_n of_o nature_n and_o self-preservation_n and_o that_o endeavour_v by_o their_o example_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o alienate_v the_o beart_n of_o the_o people_n from_o the_o government_n at_o a_o conjuncture_n when_o the_o common_a danger_n of_o religion_n and_o law_n do_v absolute_o require_v the_o close_a union_n and_o the_o strong_a and_o most_o entire_a coallition_n of_o all_o the_o protestant_n power_n and_o interest_n i_o can_v
