arise_v upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o late_a trouble_n and_o we_o conceive_v a_o army_n shall_v be_v keep_v up_o only_o in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o powerful_a insurrection_n within_o the_o kingdom_n or_o of_o a_o foreign_a invasion_n from_o without_o and_o otherwise_o to_o maintain_v a_o perpetual_a army_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o kingdom_n upon_o the_o expense_n of_o the_o subject_n when_o there_o be_v no_o enemy_n to_o fight_v with_o be_v but_o to_o enslave_v the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n under_o a_o military_a bondage_n when_o our_o army_n return_v to_o scotland_n it_o be_v confident_o expect_v that_o the_o house_n shall_v have_v speedy_o disband_v their_o army_n the_o war_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o no_o visible_a enemy_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o proceed_v to_o the_o settle_n of_o a_o peace_n here_o and_o to_o the_o effectual_a relief_n of_o ireland_n but_o now_o after_o a_o full_a year_n delay_v almost_o we_o do_v not_o find_v among_o all_o these_o proposition_n any_o

for_o disband_v army_n in_o both_o kingdom_n army_n be_v raise_v for_o defence_n of_o religion_n the_o king_n person_n and_o authority_n the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o liberty_n of_o

high_a time_n to_o disband_v they_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n may_v take_v place_n some_o of_o out_o neighbour_n nation_n be_v necessitate_v to_o keep_v up_o army_n because_o they_o have_v enemy_n that_o lie_v contiguous_a and_o adjoin_v to_o their_o border_n but_o the_o sea_n be_v our_o bulwark_n and_o if_o we_o study_v amity_n and_o peace_n among_o ourselves_o and_o entertain_v the_o union_n between_o the_o kingdom_n under_o his_o majesty_n government_n we_o need_v not_o fear_v foreign_a invasion_n it_o be_v a_o custom_n in_o other_o nation_n to_o keep_v up_o army_n to_o

shall_v be_v make_v a_o trade_n or_o that_o their_o war_n shall_v end_v in_o slavery_n the_o continuance_n of_o army_n will_v certain_o increase_v faction_n and_o division_n to_o the_o great_a

a_o settle_a peace_n the_o charge_n of_o entertain_v army_n be_v needless_a when_o there_o be_v no_o enemy_n and_o extreme_o grievous_a to_o the_o people_n who_o before_o be_v willing_a to_o bear_v

be_v become_v insupportable_a for_o these_o and_o many_o other_o reason_n which_o we_o can_v add_v we_o hold_v it_o most_o necessary_a that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o proposition_n for_o payment_n of_o

and_o name_a of_o privy_a counsellor_n we_o conceive_v his_o majesty_n offer_n in_o his_o late_a message_n of_o the_o sixteenth_o of_o november_n to_o be_v so_o reasonable_a as_o may_v give_v
