life_n of_o the_o people_n who_o god_n will_v have_v spare_v because_o through_o want_n of_o heed_n and_o diligence_n we_o let_v those_o escape_n who_o divine_a justice_n have_v appoint_v to_o destruction_n 13_o my_o thirteen_o proposition_n be_v that_o a_o more_o sincere_a regard_n be_v general_o have_v to_o the_o personal_a honour_n and_o safety_n of_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n and_o that_o such_o a_o strict_a course_n may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o preservation_n thereof_o as_o may_v be_v agreeable_a to_o our_o allegiance_n and_o christian_a profession_n notwithstanding_o all_o our_o unhappy_a division_n both_o house_n of_o parliament_n in_o all_o their_o expression_n remonstrance_n declaration_n and_o proceed_n the_o circumstance_n and_o unavoidable_a necessity_n of_o our_o unhappy_a controversy_n due_o consider_v have_v have_v in_o my_o understanding_n a_o pious_a and_o loyal_a respect_n hereunto_o whatsoever_o have_v be_v judge_v of_o they_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v spare_v the_o mention_n of_o many_o thing_n fame_v whereby_o their_o own_o innocency_n may_v be_v illustrate_v &_o have_v discover_v nothing_o reflect_v upon_o this_o honour_n but_o what_o can_v neither_o be_v hide_v nor_o leave_v unmentioned_a without_o betray_v the_o general_a safety_n but_o some_o other_o have_v so_o petulant_o impertinent_o and_o irreverent_o mention_v his_o fail_n that_o if_o they_o be_v guiltless_a of_o disloyal_a intention_n sure_o i_o be_o they_o have_v not_o consider_v that_o because_o of_o our_o sin_n the_o king_n as_o david_n be_v notwithstanding_o joabs_n good_a counsel_n may_v be_v leave_v by_o god_n for_o a_o while_n to_o be_v sway_v by_o his_o own_o wilfulness_n for_o our_o just_a punishment_n or_o that_o be_v forteable_o ravish_v by_o power_n and_o policy_n too_o strong_a for_o he_o to_o resist_v he_o may_v for_o aught_o we_o know_v be_v yet_o as_o excusable_a as_o the_o woman_n deflower_v in_o the_o field_n where_o none_o be_v present_a to_o deliver_v she_o from_o the_o ravisher_n howsoever_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o his_o shame_n be_v our_o let_v we_o therefore_o cover_v it_o as_o much_o as_o we_o may_v that_o when_o he_o awake_v he_o may_v bless_v we_o for_o when_o the_o cup_n of_o his_o inchancer_n and_o the_o wicked_a which_o be_v about_o his_o throne_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o his_o repentance_n may_v perhaps_o make_v he_o more_o belove_v and_o more_o glorious_a then_o if_o he_o have_v never_o err_v it_o appear_v by_o his_o late_a letter_n in_o which_o he_o boast_v of_o victory_n when_o indeed_o his_o own_o force_n have_v the_o great_a overthrow_n that_o ever_o they_o receive_v that_o he_o be_v blind_v by_o misinformation_n &_o continue_v yet_o our_o enemy_n because_o he_o be_v keep_v both_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o own_o friend_n and_o of_o his_o own_o danger_n and_o we_o hope_v that_o when_o his_o eye_n be_v open_v a_o bless_a reconciliation_n will_v soon_o follow_v by_o this_o proposition_n we_o shall_v prevent_v their_o treasonous_a design_n who_o under_o colour_n of_o prosecute_a the_o public_a enemy_n in_o this_o great_a and_o general_a distraction_n have_v a_o secret_a hope_n to_o destroy_v both_o the_o king_n and_o his_o kingdom_n by_o this_o we_o shall_v escape_v that_o perpetuate_n of_o civil_a blood-shod_a which_o else_o may_v be_v occasion_v by_o the_o suggestion_n and_o insinuation_n of_o those_o who_o be_v addict_v to_o disloyal_a intention_n and_o peradventure_o there_o be_v more_o danger_n of_o this_o mischief_n than_o some_o imagine_v if_o we_o shall_v essential_o discharge_v our_o allegiance_n god_n will_v open_v the_o eye_n and_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n to_o the_o establish_n of_o this_o kingdom_n upon_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n with_o our_o peace_n or_o translate_v the_o government_n if_o he_o continue_v wilful_a without_o our_o guilt_n but_o if_o he_o persist_v to_o walk_v obstinate_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o ungodly_a and_o we_o also_o be_v find_v unfaithful_a in_o our_o duty_n both_o we_o and_o our_o king_n shall_v pe●ish_v 14_o my_o last_o proposition_n be_v that_o we_o may_v all_o private_o endeavour_n that_o god_n public_a judgement_n may_v have_v better_a effect_n upon_o we_o than_o i_o can_v yet_o perceive_v they_o have_v

in_o my_o judgement_n very_o considerable_a but_o i_o will_v not_o insist_v on_o they_o lest_o by_o propose_v over_o much_o all_o be_v quite_o neglect_v neither_o do_v i_o make_v render_v of_o these_o

the_o well-affected_a shall_v be_v more_o comfort_v and_o encourage_v then_o heretofore_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o merciful_a unto_o this_o land_n and_o the_o plague_n now_o afflict_v we_o
