erect_v as_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o agreement_n to_o which_o it_o may_v submit_v and_o see_v god_n have_v in_o righteousness_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n and_o their_o king_n bring_v we_o into_o this_o unhappy_a condition_n i_o therefore_o plead_v with_o your_o excellency_n to_o use_v the_o sword_n with_o as_o much_o tenderness_n as_o may_v be_v to_o preserve_v the_o life_n of_o man_n

we_o of_o seek_v the_o life_n of_o the_o king_n we_o always_o deny_v it_o until_o this_o late_a remonstrance_n now_o sir_n it_o be_v as_o real_a a_o manifestation_n of_o a_o christian_a a_o honourable_a and_o noble_a spirit_n as_o can_v be_v discover_v to_o the_o world_n to_o be_v true_a to_o what_o it_o do_v profess_v and_o to_o be_v the_o same_o in_o adversity_n as_o in_o prosperity_n and_o in_o prosperity_n as_o it_o be_v in_o adversity_n and_o it_o be_v more_o honourable_a to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o a_o conquer_a enemy_n then_o to_o destroy_v he_o for_o if_o he_o have_v prosecute_v his_o design_n according_a to_o his_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n and_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_a way_n it_o be_v because_o god_n suffer_v the_o devil_n to_o blind_v his_o understanding_n that_o he_o do_v not_o know_v the_o truth_n and_o it_o be_v better_a to_o let_v he_o live_v and_o learn_v to_o repent_v then_o to_o make_v haste_n to_o send_v he_o to_o destruction_n so_o that_o his_o remain_v alive_a be_v not_o any_o general_a prejudice_n or_o more_o mischievous_a than_o his_o death_n will_v be_v which_o will_v well_o be_v consider_v under_o the_o three_o reason_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v any_o essential_a good_a can_v accrue_v to_o the_o people_n by_o the_o take_n away_o his_o life_n for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o person_n that_o can_v hurt_v we_o as_o the_o

office_n and_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v have_v as_o much_o right_n to_o the_o dominion_n as_o his_o predicessor_n have_v and_o will_v questionless_a have_v all_o the_o assistance_n that_o this_o person_n can_v procure_v for_o the_o attain_n thereof_o and_o will_v be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o mischief_n because_o he_o be_v at_o liberty_n and_o this_o under_o your_o power_n again_o this_o king_n be_v the_o king_n of_o scotland_n and_o ireland_n according_a to_o the_o law_n in_o be_v they_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o his_o person_n as_o well_o as_o england_n notwithstanding_o he_o be_v under_o our_o power_n now_o if_o you_o will_v judge_v the_o kingdom_n of_o scotland_n and_o ireland_n in_o that_o which_o concern_v their_o interest_n where_o you_o can_v claim_v no_o right_n it_o

then_o can_v be_v good_a to_o the_o particular_a i_o desire_v my_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v issue_v a_o christian_a spirit_n not_o render_v evil_a for_o evil_n but_o rather_o good_a for_o evil_n although_o wicked_a man_n will_v deal_v wicked_o with_o we_o yet_o let_v we_o deal_v merciful_o with_o they_o and_o pardon_n and_o forgive_v as_o we_o desire_v god_n shall_v pardon_v and_o forgive_v we_o in_o this_o way_n i_o do_v very_o believe_v we_o shall_v be_v great_a conqueror_n than_o yet_o we_o have_v be_v if_o we_o can_v conquer_v ourselves_o and_o the_o affection_n of_o our_o enemy_n which_o this_o do_v lead_v unto_o my_o lord_n in_o all_o that_o i_o have_v write_v i_o be_o not_o against_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o king_n but_o i_o say_v it_o be_v by_o no_o legal_a authority_n but_o only_o what_o the_o sword_n exalt_v although_o it_o be_v not_o a_o exact_a marshal_n court_n yet_o it_o be_v little_a different_a and_o not_o a_o legitimate_a authority_n to_o the_o king_n yet_o it_o may_v as_o just_o judge_v he_o as_o ever_o he_o judge_v the_o people_n and_o may_v dethrone_v he_o and_o divest_v he_o of_o all_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o english_a nation_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v necessary_a so_o far_o to_o proceed_v and_o to_o detain_v he_o as_o a_o prisoner_n at_o war_n till_o he_o may_v be_v deliver_v with_o safety_n to_o yourselves_o and_o the_o nation_n
