to_o use_v it_o o_o that_o you_o will_v all_o beg_v of_o god_n courage_n wisdom_n and_o faithfulness_n impartiality_n and_o integrity_n of_o heart_n in_o this_o great_a affair_n first_o then_o

prevent_v your_o act_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o your_o representatives_n it_o may_v be_v some_o of_o vour_z tender_a heart_n be_v trouble_v at_o what_o have_v be_v do_v by_o the_o lord_n protector_n so_o call_v be_v afraid_a to_o vote_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o your_o deputy_n lest_o you_o shall_v seem_v to_o approve_v his_o power_n because_o the_o choice_n be_v appoint_v by_o his_o writ_n but_o we_o pray_v examine_v this_o better_a first_o consider_v that_o the_o writ_n for_o election_n neither_o do_v nor_o ever_o can_v be_v just_o construe_v to_o give_v the_o people_n any_o right_a to_o choose_v their_o member_n of_o the_o parliament_n the_o almighty_a god_n the_o creator_n and_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o this_o nation_n give_v the_o people_n that_o right_o by_o their_o birth_n it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o king_n heretofore_o whether_o the_o people_n shall_v ever_o choose_v their_o deputy_n for_o the_o common_a assembly_n though_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o their_o discretion_n and_o prudence_n what_o time_n in_o the_o year_n it_o be_v most_o necessary_a to_o call_v the_o assembly_n the_o king_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n and_o their_o oath_n to_o send_v out_o writ_n every_o year_n to_o summon_v a_o parliament_n and_o the_o last_o law_n make_v about_o parliament_n ordain_v the_o very_a constable_n to_o summon_v the_o people_n to_o the_o election_n if_o the_o king_n and_o other_o shall_v neglect_v their_o duty_n to_o summon_v they_o and_o we_o hope_v none_o of_o you_o will_v have_v think_v that_o the_o constable_n summons_n have_v give_v you_o right_a to_o choose_v the_o writ_n be_v only_o to_o call_v you_o to_o exercise_v your_o own_o right_n and_o sure_o you_o may_v use_v your_o own_o right_n whosoever_o call_v you_o to_o

none_o of_o you_o will_v scruple_n to_o go_v to_o your_o own_o house_n why_o then_o shall_v you_o scruple_n whatsoever_o you_o think_v of_o the_o lord_n protector_n to_o use_v your_o own_o right_n in_o the_o expect_a election_n now_o he_o permit_v you_o to_o do_v it_o be_v no_o way_n derive_v or_o claim_v from_o he_o and_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o way_n of_o election_n approve_v by_o the_o law_n be_v alter_v it_o be_v easy_o answer_v that_o the_o division_n of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o electour_n into_o several_a body_n or_o meeting_n different_a from_o those_o former_a way_n of_o meeting_n change_v not_o the_o right_n and_o that_o you_o use_v your_o own_o right_n as_o far_o as_o he_o will_v suffer_v you_o and_o it_o be_v frowardness_n to_o cast_v away_o what_o you_o may_v enjoy_v because_o you_o have_v not_o all_o your_o right_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o other_o of_o you_o will_v say_v that_o god_n require_v at_o this_o time_n high_a way_n of_o advance_v

be_v choose_v but_o upon_o due_a examination_n this_o darkness_n of_o your_o mind_n will_v vanish_v and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o the_o saint_n preparation_n for_o christ_n kingdom_n which_o god_n require_v be_v clothe_v themselves_o with_o righteousness_n rev._n 19.8_o and_o that_o no_o righteous_a civil_a power_n of_o govern_v in_o this_o nation_n can_v be_v yet_o derive_v from_o any_o other_o fountain_n than_o the_o people_n consent_n or_o choice_n and_o that_o you_o can_v be_v righteous_a or_o holy_a in_o set_v up_o consent_v or_o adhere_v to_o any_o other_o civil_a govern_v power_n it_o be_v yet_o the_o law_n give_v by_o god_n and_o repeat_v by_o christ_n that_o you_o shall_v do_v unto_o all_o man_n saint_n or_o not_o saint_n even_o as_o you_o will_v that_o they_o shall_v do_v to_o you_o and_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o you_o will_v not_o that_o any_o man_n or_o man_n shall_v impose_v law_n upon_o you_o at_o pleasure_n and_o assume_v a_o power_n over_o your_o life_n and_o estate_n without_o your_o consent_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v righteousness_n in_o you_o to_o do_v it_o unto_o other_o say_v not_o therefore_o that_o god_n be_v go_v out_o of_o parliament_n unless_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o god_n have_v abolish_v this_o old_a law_n or_o that_o by_o some_o other_o diulne_v law_n the_o power_n of_o politic_a government_n be_v now_o to_o be_v

divine_a law_n be_v not_o your_o rule_n we_o can_v no_o way_n so_o high_o advance_v christ_n kingdom_n as_o by_o obey_v his_o law_n and_o to_o be_v find_v do_v they_o when_o he_o come_v but_o say_v some_o other_o we_o dare_v not_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o parliament_n for_o we_o doubt_v
