be_v persuade_v the_o parliament_n will_v take_v his_o counsel_n in_o accept_v the_o bishop_n parole_fw-fr of_o honour_n for_o a_o formal_a oath_n in_o the_o old_a out-of-fashion_n trade_n of_o knight_n errantry_n a_o parole_n of_o honour_n may_v be_v of_o sufficient_a value_n but_o the_o world_n we_o know_v be_v become_v strict_a in_o such_o point_n than_o to_o follow_v the_o marshal_n

that_o session_n of_o parliament_n wherein_o the_o oath_n be_v enact_v for_o he_o have_v certain_o by_o his_o eloquence_n and_o knight-errantoratory_a persuade_v the_o parliament_n to_o pass_v from_o so_o silly_a a_o kind_n of_o assurance_n as_o a_o oath_n and_o to_o revive_v in_o its_o place_n the_o sacred_a sanction_n of_o parole_n of_o honour_n as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o amodis_fw-la de_fw-fr gaul_n or_o the_o seven_o champion_n of_o christendom_n but_o pray_v forgive_v i_o to_o ask_v one_o question_n of_o this_o learned_a author_n how_o come_v it_o that_o the_o six_o bishop_n refuse_v to_o take_v the_o oath_n and_o yet_o as_o he_o say_v be_v willing_a to_o give_v their_o parole_n of_o honour_n for_o if_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o give_v their_o honour_n and_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o sacred_a among_o man_n of_o probity_n as_o a_o pawn_n of_o their_o faithfulness_n to_o the_o government_n why_o shall_v they_o stick_v at_o give_v their_o oath_n for_o it_o but_o our_o apologist_n tell_v we_o that_o one_o huddelston_n though_o a_o papist_n be_v by_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n in_o king_n charles_n his_o time_n excuse_v from_o take_v the_o oath_n what_o then_o must_v the_o suspend_v bishop_n be_v so_o too_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o any_o of_o these_o reverend_a person_n have_v the_o good_a fortune_n to_o preserve_v the_o life_n of_o a_o king_n when_o seek_v for_o by_o enemy_n nor_o can_v i_o find_v any_o of_o their_o name_n mention_v in_o our_o history_n of_o king_n charles_n wonderful_a escape_n after_o the_o fatal_a battle_n of_o worcester_n until_o they_o have_v as_o great_a a_o stock_n of_o merit_n on_o a_o like_a score_n as_o mr._n huddelston_n have_v we_o must_v even_o allow_v they_o to_o come_v under_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o england_n and_o allow_v mr._n huddelston_n to_o stand_v alone_o in_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n without_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o clergyman_n to_o bear_v he_o company_n this_o be_v not_o all_o our_o apologist_n be_v extreme_o vex_v that_o the_o convention_n i_o believe_v he_o will_v say_v the_o parliament_n do_v not_o copy_n out_o something_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o bishop_n which_o if_o it_o have_v do_v he_o tell_v we_o will_v have_v save_v he_o and_o his_o friend_n the_o labour_n of_o a_o address_n alas_o that_o the_o parliament_n do_v not_o call_v the_o grand-jury_n of_o gloucester_n and_o with_o they_o this_o learned_a author_n to_o set_v a_o copy_n for_o they_o how_o to_o treat_v the_o bishop_n that_o will_v not_o take_v the_o oath_n sure_o the_o parliament_n will_v have_v alter_v all_o their_o measure_n if_o they_o have_v have_v the_o good_a fortune_n to_o consult_v so_o wise_a and_o sedate_v head_n who_o be_v not_o for_o rapid_a and_o critical_a haste_n in_o counsel_n as_o he_o say_v be_v the_o fate_n of_o a_o great_a many_o men._n we_o never_o know_v before_o of_o set_v a_o copy_n to_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n nor_o till_o now_o can_v we_o have_v fall_v upon_o the_o man_n to_o do_v it_o far_o less_o do_v we_o know_v such_o mighty_a politician_n be_v confine_v to_o the_o county_n of_o gloucester_n but_o which_o be_v yet_o a_o great_a omission_n in_o the_o parliament_n they_o not_o only_o forget_v to_o follow_v a_o gloucester_z copy_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o bishop_n but_o by_o this_o neglect_n they_o have_v have_v the_o ill_a manner_n to_o put_v so_o many_o great_a man_n as_o our_o author_n and_o his_o colleague_n to_o the_o labour_n of_o a_o address_n which_o must_v certain_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n to_o the_o nation_n consider_v the_o mighty_a importance_n of_o their_o time_n and_o pain_n it_o be_v hope_v the_o parliament_n will_v in_o time_n come_v occasion_n no_o such_o loss_n to_o the_o world_n as_o the_o put_v these_o gentleman_n to_o the_o labour_n of_o any_o more_o address_n and_o yet_o methinks_v it_o can_v be_v no_o labour_n to_o appear_v in_o favour_n of_o person_n for_o who_o they_o have_v so_o blind_a a_o veneration_n and_o who_o they_o treat_v so_o often_o with_o the_o title_n of_o holy_a but_o at_o last_o our_o author_n from_o make_v a_o apology_n for_o the_o bishop_n to_o make_v one_o for_o himself_o and_o his_o colleague_n the_o grand-jury_n of_o gloucester_n or_o rather_o for_o their_o address_n and_o now_o it_o be_v he_o tell_v we_o what_o the_o intent_n and_o head_n of_o the_o address_n be_v in_o short_a it_o be_v say_v he_o no_o other_o than_o the_o return_n of_o thanks_o to_o his_o majesty_n for_o his_o repeat_v assurance_n to_o maintain_v our_o religion_n by_o law_n establish_v and_o for_o his_o gracious_a resolution_n to_o grant_v to_o all_o his_o subject_n except_o such_o person_n as_o he_o in_o his_o royal_a wisdom_n shall_v distinguish_v from_o the_o rest_n his_o gracious_a pardon_n and_o pray_v that_o the_o like_a favour_n may_v be_v extend_v to_o their_o pious_a bishop_n particular_o their_o diocesan_n that_o the_o incapacity_n he_o lie_v under_o by_o not_o take_v the_o oath_n may_v no_o long_o disable_v they_o from_o serve_v their_o majesty_n in_o their_o several_a province_n this_o be_v the_o address_n if_o we_o believe_v our_o apologist_n in_o its_o full_a force_n and_o we_o need_v not_o put_v ourselves_o to_o the_o pain_n of_o make_v a_o too_o large_a commentary_n upon_o it_o since_o it_o neither_o deserve_v nor_o require_v it_o i_o shall_v only_o hint_n at_o a_o few_o reflection_n that_o rise_v natural_o from_o it_o i._o they_o return_v thanks_o to_o his_o majesty_n for_o his_o reiterated_a assurance_n to_o maintain_v our_o religion_n as_o by_o law_n establish_v this_o be_v just_o indeed_o and_o never_o prince_n deserve_v a_o great_a return_n of_o thanks_o than_o his_o majesty_n do_v upon_o this_o score_n for_o it_o be_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o religion_n that_o he_o venture_v his_o life_n and_o his_o all_o in_o come_v over_o to_o england_n at_o first_o and_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o he_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a we_o have_v be_v beyond_o the_o possibility_n of_o a_o retreat_n from_o ruin_n before_o now_o but_o the_o manner_n of_o thanks_o in_o this_o address_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o word_n of_o our_o ridiculous_a address_n in_o the_o two_o precede_a reign_n when_o our_o gloucester_n gentleman_n among_o other_o besiege_a king_n charles_n and_o king_n james_n with_o their_o thanks_o for_o the_o reiterated_a assurance_n to_o maintain_v our_o religion_n as_o by_o law_n establish_v when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n every_o body_n of_o common_a sense_n see_v our_o religion_n be_v every_o day_n encroach_v upon_o and_o that_o popery_n be_v break_v in_o upon_o we_o like_o a_o impetuous_a torrent_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v our_o gloucester_z grand-jury_n have_v be_v so_o accustom_v to_o these_o word_n of_o thank_v the_o king_n that_o design_v the_o subversion_n of_o our_o religion_n for_o their_o assurance_n to_o maintain_v it_o that_o they_o can_v get_v rid_v of_o the_o old_a rot_n they_o then_o use_v now_o when_o we_o be_v under_o a_o king_n that_o though_o he_o be_v desire_v will_v not_o alter_v our_o religion_n by_o law_n establish_v ii_o they_o thank_v his_o majesty_n for_o his_o resolution_n to_o grant_v all_o his_o subject_n a_o gracious_a pardon_n a_o man_n will_v natural_o infer_v that_o our_o grand-jury_n find_v themselves_o in_o some_o need_n of_o a_o good_a act_n of_o indemnity_n for_o we_o all_o know_v what_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v most_o earnest_a for_o have_v such_o a_o act_n even_o those_o that_o need_v one_o most_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v think_v his_o majesty_n do_v express_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a nature_n in_o grant_v so_o universal_a a_o indemnity_n and_o it_o be_v likewise_o a_o extraordinary_a piece_n of_o good_a policy_n so_o to_o do_v at_o that_o juncture_n but_o of_o all_o man_n live_v those_o that_o need_v it_o shall_v not_o have_v endeavour_v to_o abuse_v it_o by_o
