sterling_a which_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o accept_v in_o stead_n of_o demand_v the_o eight_o month_n during_o king_n james_n life_n and_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v redeem_v we_o from_o that_o

most_o man_n do_v wonder_v it_o sit_v so_o long_o and_o every_o body_n know_v it_o be_v to_o rise_v that_o week_n that_o strange_a vote_n in_o refuse_v four_o month_n supply_v after_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o have_v pass_v make_v it_o evident_a there_o be_v no_o better_a to_o be_v expect_v and_o when_o they_o have_v former_o refuse_v to_o proceed_v upon_o the_o instruction_n how_o can_v any_o man_n think_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v adjourn_v as_o to_o your_o last_o question_n where_o these_o man_n strength_n lie_v and_o whether_o the_o presbyterian_o will_v desert_v the_o king_n and_o join_v with_o they_o i_o tell_v you_o plain_o my_o thought_n these_o man_n play_v upon_o the_o presbyterian_a staik_fw-mi and_o though_o the_o stickler_n be_v person_n who_o have_v little_o concern_v in_o religion_n or_o regard_n to_o church-government_n and_o when_o episcopacy_n be_v former_o abolish_v and_o all_o the_o law_n establish_v it_o rescind_v in_o consequence_n the_o law_n make_v at_o the_o reformation_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o presbyterian_a government_n be_v redintegrat_fw-la and_o revive_v the_o same_o may_v now_o have_v be_v do_v but_o their_o same_o addresser_n do_v oppose_v it_o and_o do_v add_v a_o clause_n in_o the_o house_n declare_v the_o church-government_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v establish_v upon_o this_o project_n that_o if_o presbytery_n be_v once_o establish_v they_o know_v the_o presbyterian_o need_v no_o more_o depend_v upon_o they_o whereas_o the_o presbyterian_o must_v either_o support_v they_o or_o else_o they_o will_v turn_v about_o and_o fall_v in_o with_o the_o cavalier_n party_n against_o they_o for_o they_o front_v to_o all_o side_n but_o to_o the_o king_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o render_v the_o presbyterian_o jealous_a of_o the_o king_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n like_v always_o to_o have_v the_o church_n in_o his_o power_n and_o that_o the_o king_n to_o oblige_v the_o church_n of_o england_n will_v in_o the_o end_n abandon_v they_o whereas_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o establish_v presbytery_n in_o what_o term_n they_o can_v desire_v and_o to_o go_v the_o length_n of_o a_o covenant_n and_o league_n with_o the_o dissenter_n in_o england_n but_o after_o all_o i_o can_v hardly_o believe_v that_o the_o presbyterian_o will_v be_v so_o impose_v upon_o and_o whidle_v out_o of_o their_o interest_n by_o person_n they_o know_v to_o have_v no_o concern_v for_o religion_n but_o to_o raise_v themselves_o by_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v the_o follow_a consideration_n will_v secure_v the_o presbyterian_o first_o all_z the_o presbyterian_a lord_n in_o scotland_n who_o have_v be_v all_o along_o of_o that_o persuasion_n and_o have_v suffer_v for_o it_o have_v all_o to_o a_o man_n stand_v firm_a to_o the_o king_n in_o this_o parliament_n against_o the_o club_n and_o they_o be_v almost_o all_o actual_o employ_v in_o his_o service_n now_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o any_o rational_a or_o sober_a presbyterian_a will_v part_v with_o their_o old_a and_o great_a friend_n who_o be_v able_a to_o do_v they_o good_a for_o new_a undertaker_n whereof_o some_o have_v be_v late_o their_o persecutor_n and_o the_o presbyterian_o have_v no_o safe_a retreat_n king_n james_z will_v neither_o trust_v nor_o forgive_v they_o will_v they_o be_v neuter_n and_o associate_n again_o as_o the_o five_o western_a shire_n do_v in_o anno_fw-la 1650._o when_o they_o refuse_v to_o join_v either_o with_o king_n charles_n army_n or_o cromwel_n this_o design_n be_v both_o foolish_a and_o fatal_a they_o be_v quick_o break_v at_o hamiltoun_n second_o i_o can_v hardly_o believe_v that_o the_o presbyterian_o will_v forget_v the_o regard_n the_o king_n have_v to_o their_o suffering_n that_o he_o have_v revive_v and_o restore_v they_o and_o will_v certain_o settle_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n by_o presbyter_n and_o employ_v they_o where_o they_o be_v capable_a in_o the_o civil_a government_n if_o they_o themselves_o do_v not_o hinder_v he_o for_o though_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o the_o king_n either_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v of_o a_o party_n yet_o their_o circumstance_n lie_v together_o his_o suscess_n and_o their_o deliverance_n for_o in_o scotland_n though_o we_o have_v bishop_n who_o be_v tool_n for_o the_o civil_a government_n and_o lead_v horse_n for_o the_o state_n yet_o we_o never_o admit_v canon_n service_n or_o any_o form_n in_o our_o church_n so_o that_o even_o in_o time_n of_o bishop_n the_o nation_n be_v presbyterian_a and_o whereas_o the_o church_n and_o bishop_n of_o england_n before_o this_o revolution_n be_v stand_v in_o the_o gap_n and_o suffer_v and_o the_o king_n in_o his_o speech_n to_o the_o parliament_n do_v avouch_v they_o to_o be_v a_o bulwark_n to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n yet_o at_o that_o time_n our_o bishop_n in_o scotland_n in_o their_o address_n to_o king_n james_n not_o only_o pray_v so_o his_o success_n and_o prosperity_n in_o that_o expedition_n but_o they_o pray_v that_o god_n may_v give_v he_o the_o neck_n of_o his_o enemy_n after_o they_o know_v that_o the_o king_n than_o prince_n of_o orange_n be_v embark_v and_o have_v set_v sail_n for_o britain_n this_o may_n conciliat_fw-la a_o great_a confidence_n and_o regard_n from_o the_o king_n to_o the_o presbyterian_o of_o scotland_n without_o give_v any_o discouragement_n or_o displeasure_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o a_o prince_n that_o have_v different_a country_n and_o nation_n may_v maintain_v distinct_a religion_n and_o much_o more_o distinct_a form_n of_o government_n profess_v the_o same_o religion_n without_o affect_v or_o neglect_v any_o man_n upon_o that_o account_n three_o as_o it_o be_v duty_n and_o gratitude_n for_o the_o presbyterian_o to_o stand_v firm_a by_o the_o king_n they_o lie_v under_o a_o suspicion_n to_o be_v difficile_a and_o uneasy_a under_o any_o government_n and_o that_o their_o principle_n be_v more_o suit_v to_o a_o commonwealth_n than_o monarchy_n they_o have_v now_o a_o opportunity_n to_o retrieve_v and_o vindicate_v themselves_o from_o these_o aspersion_n and_o if_o they_o be_v such_o fool_n as_o to_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v seduce_v to_o quit_v the_o king_n for_o the_o club_n there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v now_o look_v after_o their_o halt_n who_o will_v not_o be_v want_v to_o represent_v to_o the_o king_n that_o he_o have_v neglect_v a_o far_o great_a interest_n in_o look_v after_o the_o dissenter_n who_o he_o can_v not_o manage_v these_o and_o other_o such_o consideration_n will_v certain_o oblige_v the_o presbyterian_o to_o look_v to_o their_o interest_n and_o foresee_v their_o danger_n if_o they_o shall_v either_o lie_v by_o or_o prove_v unkind_a and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o support_v and_o sustain_v this_o club_n it_o will_v fall_v to_o nothing_o and_o the_o nation_n will_v return_v to_o some_o better_a
