a_o vindication_n of_o the_o army_n from_o some_o calumnious_a quaeres_fw-la be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o particular_a answer_n to_o those_o nine_o several_a quaeres_fw-la as_o to_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o author_n in_o they_o by_o jo_n harr_fw-ge esq._n the_o honest_a use_n of_o make_v queres_fw-la be_v heretofore_o to_o be_v instruct_v and_o attain_v satisfaction_n in_o those_o thing_n whereof_o our_o reason_n doubt_v not_o to_o justify_v our_o own_o wilful_a error_n and_o under_o colour_n of_o ask_v question_n to_o vent_v opprobrious_a calumny_n and_o rail_v positive_o against_o the_o sense_n of_o other_o man_n the_o nature_n therefore_o of_o queres_fw-la be_v much_o mistake_v by_o the_o author_n of_o those_o nine_o against_o the_o army_n for_o i_o can_v discern_v in_o what_o point_n he_o desire_v to_o be_v instruct_v himself_o or_o teach_v other_o but_o instead_o of_o that_o in_o a_o positive_a way_n and_o with_o much_o bitterness_n he_o inveigh_v against_o the_o proceed_n of_o those_o gallant_a gentleman_n to_o who_o successful_a valour_n and_o indefatigable_a industry_n next_o under_o god_n without_o who_o blessing_n all_o endeavour_n be_v fruitless_a the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n be_v indebt_v to_o for_o the_o rescue_n of_o her_o sink_v and_o almost_o lose_v law_n and_o liberty_n if_o this_o army_n have_v well_o deserve_v of_o the_o commonwealth_n why_o shall_v any_o man_n that_o love_v the_o commonwealth_n fly_v so_o high_a against_o they_o as_o by_o way_n of_o prejudice_n to_o censure_v their_o intention_n worse_o than_o their_o action_n show_v for_o no_o action_n of_o they_o have_v yet_o produce_v any_o hurt_n can_v any_o candid_a or_o honest_a man_n harbour_v a_o suspicion_n that_o the_o noble_a fairfax_n and_o cromwell_n name_v honour_v by_o the_o very_a enemy_n who_o no_o success_n can_v ever_o puff_n up_o those_o miracle_n of_o modesty_n in_o who_o no_o self-seeking_a no_o pride_n or_o ambition_n have_v in_o the_o least_o measure_n discover_v itself_o shall_v now_o be_v guilty_a of_o such_o a_o monstrous_a ambition_n as_o to_o affect_v a_o arbitrary_a power_n to_o trample_v upon_o the_o state_n to_o subject_v the_o parliament_n and_o enslave_v the_o nation_n to_o their_o own_o will_n but_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o queres_fw-la say_v he_o that_o they_o have_v break_v the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o be_v therefore_o suspect_v to_o aim_v at_o wicked_a end_n ay_o for_o my_o own_o part_n do_v so_o much_o honour_v the_o parliament_n that_o i_o think_v every_o privilege_n belong_v to_o it_o of_o so_o tender_a a_o nature_n as_o be_v unfit_a to_o be_v tread_v upon_o or_o rude_o deal_v with_o but_o i_o confess_v i_o do_v more_o honour_v the_o essence_n and_o be_v of_o the_o parliament_n than_o i_o do_v every_o small_a punctuality_n of_o privilege_n and_o can_v be_v content_a rather_o to_o see_v the_o finger_n of_o it_o wound_v for_o these_o contest_a time_n have_v teach_v we_o such_o distinction_n than_o the_o whole_a body_n perish_v some_o part_n of_o a_o body_n may_v be_v a_o little_a afflict_a sometime_o that_o the_o whole_a may_v live_v in_o the_o more_o health_n neither_o can_v i_o think_v that_o this_o army_n which_o have_v give_v so_o noble_a a_o testimony_n of_o their_o affection_n to_o the_o parliament_n as_o to_o preserve_v the_o very_a being_n of_o it_o will_v now_o violate_v any_o part_n or_o privilege_n thereof_o unless_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o whole_a do_v require_v such_o a_o seem_a violation_n let_v honest_a englishman_n therefore_o suspect_v no_o hurt_n unless_o they_o see_v probable_a inducement_n to_o such_o a_o suspicion_n but_o hope_v still_o that_o this_o parliament_n who_o the_o sword_n of_o so_o many_o lord_n and_o other_o of_o the_o english-gentry_n can_v not_o cut_v down_o who_o the_o vote_n of_o that_o oxford_n assembly_n which_o the_o king_n call_v his_o mongrel_n parliament_n can_v not_o at_o all_o blast_n nor_o many_o secret_a practice_n undermine_v shall_v be_v still_o protect_v by_o almighty_a god_n and_o not_o ruin_v but_o rescue_v from_o some_o inconvenience_n which_o may_v have_v wrought_v a_o ruin_n if_o not_o prevent_v the_o particular_a queres_fw-la be_v scarce_o worthy_a of_o several_a answer_n but_o to_o the_o first_o wherein_o he_o make_v it_o so_o great_a a_o breach_n of_o privilege_n that_o the_o army_n print_v their_o declaration_n and_o charge_n against_o the_o member_n without_o leave_n of_o the_o house_n i_o think_v it_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o make_v the_o clearness_n of_o their_o intention_n appear_v and_o vindicate_v themselves_o from_o far_a jealousy_n as_o their_o enemy_n may_v raise_v who_o have_v be_v too_o apt_a to_o throwgh_n causeless_a aspersion_n on_o they_o i_o can_v rather_o wish_v that_o the_o london_n press_n be_v not_o too_o open_a in_o these_o day_n to_o reproachful_a pamphlet_n of_o our_o great_a enemy_n which_o be_v daily_o vent_v against_o the_o honour_n and_o essence_n of_o the_o parliament_n itself_o the_o second_o quere_n wherein_o this_o religious_a and_o deserve_a army_n be_v in_o many_o thing_n compare_v to_o cade_n and_o his_o fellow_n rebel_n be_v so_o injurious_a as_o that_o it_o can_v be_v answer_v with_o patience_n enough_o may_v with_o discretion_n be_v scorn_v and_o pass_v over_o as_o likewise_o the_o three_o wherein_o he_o compare_v this_o demand_n of_o the_o member_n to_o another_o which_o be_v make_v heretofore_o and_o judge_v by_o both_o house_n to_o be_v a_o great_a breach_n of_o privilege_n of_o which_o because_o the_o case_n be_v so_o notorious_o different_a i_o think_v it_o not_o fit_a to_o speak_v at_o all_o nor_o to_o say_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o to_o that_o cavil_n of_o he_o because_o the_o member_n be_v not_o particular_o charge_v because_o time_n must_v produce_v that_o only_o to_o which_o it_o be_v refer_v as_o for_o another_o comparison_n which_o he_o make_v in_o a_o follow_a quere_n betwixt_o the_o army_n proceed_n and_o those_o which_o sleiden_n relate_v of_o the_o bloody_a and_o mad_a action_n of_o those_o anabaptist_n in_o munster_n i_o hope_v all_o judicious_a man_n will_v easy_o make_v a_o difference_n without_o any_o vindication_n of_o i_o betwixt_o person_n and_o action_n so_o extreme_o discrepant_a as_o for_o another_o imputation_n of_o hinder_v the_o relief_n of_o ireland_n it_o may_v easy_o appear_v and_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o it_o will_v in_o time_n that_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o may_v with_o more_o reason_n be_v impute_v to_o the_o enemy_n of_o this_o army_n who_o by_o unjust_a provocation_n have_v divert_v that_o important_a service_n to_o spare_v therefore_o far_a expression_n in_o this_o kind_n i_o shall_v only_o stay_v with_o patience_n and_o expect_v what_o it_o will_v please_v god_n to_o produce_v of_o these_o jar_n hope_v that_o it_o may_v be_v such_o a_o blessing_n to_o this_o afflict_a kingdom_n as_o may_v rather_o justify_v the_o charity_n of_o they_o who_o believe_v well_o of_o the_o army_n than_o their_o suspicion_n who_o be_v jealous_a in_o the_o other_o
