impoverish_v of_o they_o to_o increase_v their_o own_o wealth_n if_o the_o king_n have_v such_o desire_n to_o enrich_v his_o subject_n how_o come_v those_o unknown_a tax_n of_o ship-money_n knighthood_n loan-money_n etc._n etc._n not_o to_o note_v a_o kind_n of_o covetousness_n in_o the_o king_n unsuitable_a to_o so_o great_a a_o prince_n though_o to_o charge_v the_o parliament_n with_o such_o impoverishment_n prejudice_n itself_o can_v hardly_o do_v it_o although_o in_o particular_a person_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v there_o be_v occasion_n of_o more_o just_a vindication_n §_o xvi_o the_o king_n account_v his_o own_o good_n to_o be_v the_o good_n of_o his_o people_n they_o reckon_v not_o only_o their_o good_n but_o even_o their_o body_n and_o their_o life_n also_o their_o own_o this_o be_v mere_a presumption_n as_o a_o particular_a insistance_n on_o both_o party_n will_v clear_v in_o reflect_v only_o on_o the_o intention_n of_o either_o party_n §_o xvii_o the_o king_n severe_o revenge_v the_o public_a injury_n do_v against_o the_o kingdom_n and_o easy_o pardon_v the_o wrong_n do_v to_o himself_o these_o man_n most_o cruel_o revenge_v their_o own_o and_o pardon_v what_o be_v do_v against_o other_o for_o the_o king_n the_o isle_n of_o rhee_n business_n with_o that_o of_o rochel_n be_v not_o forget_v and_o how_o sensible_a he_o be_v of_o particular_a injury_n they_o that_o know_v his_o disposition_n can_v best_o tell_v nay_o it_o be_v affirm_v by_o some_o of_o his_o own_o party_n that_o the_o let_a fall_n of_o some_o sharp_a speech_n have_v cause_v not_o a_o few_o to_o appear_v against_o he_o as_o for_o example_n he_o tell_v pembroke_n he_o be_v too_o long_o by_o the_o head_n etc._n etc._n whereas_o all_o the_o kingdom_n may_v know_v how_o merciful_a the_o parliament_n have_v be_v to_o they_o who_o they_o overcome_v and_o let_v any_o indifferent_a man_n judge_n whether_o such_o quarter_n will_v have_v be_v have_v have_v the_o other_o side_n prevail_v nay_o whether_o they_o have_v not_o suffer_v by_o their_o too_o much_o slackness_n §_o xviii_o the_o king_n willing_o will_v forgive_v the_o offence_n of_o other_o man_n but_o be_v of_o his_o own_o fail_n a_o severe_a judge_n whereas_o these_o bloody_a villain_n sharp_o revenge_v even_o the_o least_o offence_n of_o other_o but_o unto_o themselves_o be_v most_o favourable_a this_o be_v in_o effect_n what_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o last_o paragraph_n yet_o have_v not_o the_o king_n be_v note_v as_o any_o such_o severe_a judge_n of_o himself_o but_o rather_o of_o a_o stiff_a nature_n why_o comply_v he_o not_o else_o with_o the_o parliament_n while_o they_o by_o their_o several_a contrary_a vote_n show_v they_o be_v unwilling_a to_o stand_v to_o that_o long_a which_o they_o suppose_v not_o so_o convenient_a and_o for_o their_o hatred_n of_o pamphlet_n as_o elencticus_fw-la complain_v let_v he_o speak_v if_o ever_o he_o know_v one_o state_n in_o love_n with_o they_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o connive_v at_o they_o too_o much_o §_o xix_o the_o king_n always_o endeavour_v to_o maintain_v his_o subject_n in_o peace_n and_o unity_n whereas_o they_o strive_v still_o to_o set_v they_o at_o odds_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o ruin_v one_o another_o and_o with_o the_o confiscation_n of_o their_o land_n good_n enrich_v themselves_o if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o do_v the_o king_n desert_n the_o parliament_n and_o never_o yet_o return_v to_o it_o and_o how_o much_o be_v they_o to_o blame_v when_o the_o frequent_a insurrection_n of_o the_o other_o party_n have_v set_v the_o kingdom_n in_o a_o flame_n §_o xx._n the_o king_n advance_v to_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o honour_n the_o best_a and_o most_o virtuous_a man_n but_o these_o man_n promote_v the_o great_a thief_n and_o villain_n who_o they_o use_v as_o sponge_n to_o suck_v the_o wealth_n of_o the_o people_n if_o the_o king_n advance_v none_o but_o the_o best_a man_n how_o come_v such_o a_o contamination_n of_o the_o nobility_n the_o king_n advance_v many_o who_o since_o have_v adhere_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n either_o this_o assertion_n be_v false_a or_o the_o man_n be_v good_a still_o do_v all_o at_o court_n enter_v the_o temple_n of_o honour_n through_o that_o of_o virtue_n you_o that_o remember_v those_o time_n call_v back_o your_o thought_n a_o little_a etc._n etc._n be_v they_o all_o bad_a the_o parliament_n employ_v or_o be_v they_o employ_v to_o that_o purpose_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o some_o have_v be_v faithful_a to_o their_o charge_n and_o must_v pass_v to_o posterity_n with_o the_o character_n of_o honesty_n §_o xxi_o the_o king_n frank_o bestow_v the_o great_a and_o most_o gainful_a office_n of_o the_o state_n upon_o man_n of_o best_a desert_n who_o free_a from_o bribery_n and_o corruption_n may_v defend_v the_o people_n from_o all_o injury_n and_o oppression_n whereas_o these_o rebel_n set_v they_o to_o sale_n to_o those_o that_o will_v give_v most_o for_o they_o and_o by_o their_o robbery_n and_o unreasonable_a exaction_n keep_v the_o people_n under_o be_v bribery_n unknown_a at_o court_n far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o to_o charge_v the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n or_o be_v all_o man_n that_o be_v advance_v seraphical_a be_v there_o not_o several_a and_o horrid_a corruption_n else_o why_o be_v so_o many_o impeach_v and_o discharge_v of_o their_o office_n the_o very_a beginning_n of_o the_o parliament_n but_o can_v you_o charge_v the_o people_n with_o set_v to_o sale_n any_o one_o office_n but_o rather_o dispose_v they_o into_o those_o hand_n who_o have_v be_v most_o active_a and_o constant_a in_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n which_o now_o groan_v as_o little_a under_o injustice_n as_o ever_o it_o do_v say_v the_o adversary_n what_o he_o will_n §_o xxii_o the_o king_n be_v ever_o ready_a to_o expose_v his_o life_n to_o any_o hazard_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o subject_n they_o dare_v never_o stir_v their_o arse_n in_o their_o defence_n but_o require_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o perish_v for_o they_o in_o their_o unjust_a quarrel_n instance_n we_o one_o eminent_a hazard_n and_o adventure_v of_o the_o king_n the_o most_o of_o they_o we_o know_v have_v military_a command_n and_o office_n which_o they_o valiant_o and_o faithful_o execute_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o war_n till_o a_o particular_a ordinance_n proclaim_v they_o and_o order_v their_o service_n to_o westminster_n §_o xxiii_o the_o king_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o malice_n and_o venom_n of_o scandalous_a and_o detract_n tongue_n &_o pen_n be_v still_o belove_a &_o honour_v of_o his_o subject_n these_o envious_a tyrant_n hate_v they_o all_o and_o be_v reciprocal_o of_o they_o hate_v there_o be_v no_o body_n that_o as_o a_o subject_a do_v not_o honour_n and_o love_v the_o king_n yea_o hate_v they_o that_o any_o way_n unjust_o asperse_v he_o but_o if_o a_o malignant_a humour_n prevail_v in_o the_o kingdom_n against_o the_o two_o house_n that_o may_v be_v the_o fault_n of_o the_o people_n themselves_o and_o not_o they_o for_o if_o they_o hate_v the_o people_n they_o have_v never_o do_v so_o much_o as_o they_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o they_o §_o xxiiii_o the_o king_n in_o time_n of_o war_n have_v no_o other_o recourse_n but_o to_o his_o own_o loyal_a subject_n when_o they_o have_v no_o other_o war_n then_o against_o they_o how_o come_v it_o then_o that_o he_o have_v such_o assistance_n come_v over_o from_o holland_n and_o other_o place_n to_o fight_v against_o his_o subject_n why_o have_v there_o be_v such_o solicitation_n of_o foreign_a prince_n and_o why_o be_v there_o a_o peace_n make_v in_o ireland_n and_o rebel_n bring_v over_o while_o the_o parliament_n hold_v off_o their_o hand_n from_o any_o such_o engagement_n and_o be_v desirous_a if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a not_o to_o have_v make_v use_n of_o the_o assistance_n of_o their_o brethren_n of_o scotland_n who_o come_v in_o notwithstanding_o bring_v those_o undue_a aspersion_n upon_o they_o of_o call_v in_o foreign_a force_n but_o this_o be_v without_o reason_n as_o i_o have_v make_v it_o good_a in_o sundry_a other_o place_n which_o whoso_o please_v may_v read_v §_o xxv_o the_o king_n have_v neither_o garrison_n nor_o guard_n but_o those_o of_o his_o own_o household_n whereas_o they_o dare_v not_o show_v their_o brazen_a face_n without_o garrison_n and_o guard_n and_o army_n of_o the_o most_o dissolute_a and_o desperate_a villain_n that_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n afford_v to_o protect_v they_o in_o their_o tyranny_n and_o to_o keep_v the_o poor_a subject_n in_o a_o continual_a slavery_n what_o garrison_n or_o army_n be_v needful_a for_o the_o king_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n when_o all_o
