our_o king_n in_o his_o pretension_n to_o restore_v our_o parliament_n and_o the_o law_n to_o their_o due_a authority_n than_o my_o own_o knowledge_n that_o the_o late_a civil_a war_n in_o this_o

read_v the_o solemn_a and_o repeat_v assurance_n his_o majesty_n give_v we_o that_o his_o design_n in_o come_v into_o england_n be_v to_o remove_v from_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o government_n those_o evil_a minister_n that_o have_v promote_v the_o murder_n and_o treason_n commit_v in_o attempt_v to_o set_v up_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n over_o the_o people_n and_o their_o parliament_n and_o also_o hear_v he_o desire_v the_o parliament_n to_o make_v such_o a_o effectual_a provision_n for_o their_o fundamental_a law_n and_o liberty_n that_o they_o may_v never_o hereafter_o be_v in_o
