and_o proposition_n present_v to_o his_o majesty_n from_o this_o kingdom_n at_o newcastle_n and_o much_o more_o upon_o the_o pacification_n conclude_v there_o with_o his_o majesty_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o disband_n and_o remove_v of_o the_o rebel_n in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o that_o in_o a_o single_a way_n as_o we_o conceive_v without_o the_o knowledge_n and_o concurrence_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n but_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o that_o which_o your_o lordship_n make_v the_o result_n upon_o all_o these_o breach_n of_o covenant_n and_o treaty_n viz._n that_o they_o call_v upon_o your_o lordship_n to_o a_o duty_n to_o god_n your_o king_n and_o country_n and_o to_o your_o oppress_a brethren_n in_o england_n which_o your_o lordship_n speak_v more_o plain_o in_o the_o next_o clause_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o those_o difference_n or_o breach_n be_v such_o as_o if_o not_o repare_v by_o amicable_a endeavour_n may_v otherwise_o necessitat_fw-la this_o

england_n and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o satisfaction_n we_o find_v to_o our_o second_o desire_n which_o be_v that_o according_a to_o the_o treaty_n it_o may_v be_v condescend_v upon_o and_o declare_v by_o the_o parliament_n what_o be_v those_o breach_n of_o peace_n which_o they_o take_v to_o be_v ae_z ground_n of_o war_n and_o that_o reparation_n thereof_o may_v be_v seek_v but_o as_o we_o see_v no_o breach_n of_o peace_n instance_v in_o the_o declaration_n and_o as_o the_o three_o breach_n of_o treaty_n insist_v upon_o by_o your_o lordship_n seem_v to_o be_v at_o least_o debatable_a so_o we_o hear_v nothing_o of_o any_o resolution_n of_o parliament_n that_o such_o breach_n as_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v condescend_v upon_o by_o your_o lordship_n shall_v be_v make_v know_v and_o send_v to_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n as_o we_o expect_v and_o they_o have_v desire_v by_o their_o commissioner_n here_o only_o we_o hear_v of_o three_o desire_n to_o be_v send_v to_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n for_o religion_n his_o majesty_n and_o the_o good_a and_o peace_n of_o these_o kingdom_n we_o conceive_v it_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o justifiable_a way_n of_o

fear_v your_o lordship_n will_v hardly_o avoid_v a_o national_a quarrel_n against_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n if_o the_o three_o instance_n before_o mention_v be_v insist_v upon_o as_o breach_n of_o treaty_n to_o infer_v a_o war_n because_o when_o the_o house_n be_v most_o free_a and_o when_o there_o be_v no_o such_o overawe_a influence_n of_o the_o sectary_n party_n even_o than_o they_o do_v not_o suppress_v the_o irishes_n in_o this_o kingdom_n they_o do_v not_o enforce_v the_o covenant_n on_o all_o their_o officer_n much_o less_o on_o all_o english_a subject_n neither_o will_v they_o then_o admit_v that_o they_o be_v oblige_v by_o treaty_n not_o to_o send_v proposition_n or_o bill_n to_o the_o king_n without_o the_o concurrence_n of_o this_o kingdom_n in_o all_o this_o that_o we_o have_v say_v it_o be_v far_o from_o our_o meaning_n to_o assume_v any_o judgement_n of_o the_o treaty_n between_o the_o kingdom_n only_o because_o your_o lordship_n have_v remit_v we_o to_o the_o declaration_n for_o satisfaction_n to_o our_o conscience_n as_o in_o other_o particular_n so_o in_o this_o of_o the_o breach_n we_o have_v humble_o represent_v to_o your_o lordship_n wherein_o we_o be_v not_o clear_a and_o satisfy_v in_o our_o conscience_n to_o consent_v and_o concur_v for_o our_o part_n upon_o such_o ground_n and_o withal_o see_v it_o be_v not_o only_o our_o

that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v censure_v and_o punish_v as_o profess_a adversary_n and_o malignant_n yet_o we_o find_v no_o such_o thing_n declare_v or_o resolve_v by_o your_o lordship_n in_o this_o

which_o your_o lordship_n give_v we_o a_o touch_n of_o in_o the_o precedent_a part_n of_o your_o narrative_a we_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o lordship_n consideration_n whether_o you_o do_v not_o

that_o the_o punishment_n of_o sectary_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v simple_o to_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n as_o they_o think_v fit_a and_o that_o your_o lordship_n must_v allow_v they_o the_o
