of_o england_n and_o own_v the_o government_n to_o be_v devolve_v upon_o the_o people_n have_v by_o virtue_n of_o be_v their_o representative_a make_v the_o monarchy_n elective_a which_o will_v give_v

such_o as_o have_v be_v active_a for_o the_o prince_n interest_n condemn_v themselves_o for_o their_o credulity_n and_o with_o what_o resentment_n and_o indignation_n they_o endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o the_o world_n how_o much_o they_o detest_v the_o late_a proceed_n so_o that_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o king_n have_v now_o more_o cordial_a protestant_a friend_n in_o all_o the_o country_n of_o england_n then_o ever_o he_o have_v before_o not_o only_o out_o of_o a_o compassion_n for_o his_o suffering_n but_o out_o of_o a_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o great_a

be_v able_a to_o hold_v out_o against_o their_o encroachment_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v now_o obvious_a to_o all_o that_o the_o assistance_n give_v to_o the_o prince_n by_o the_o state_n and_o the_o prince_n confederate_n against_o france_n be_v not_o for_o religion_n but_o to_o put_v the_o government_n here_o into_o such_o hand_n as_o might_n at_o present_a actual_o strengthen_v they_o against_o that_o great_a monarch_n all_o these_o particular_n be_v now_o as_o conspicuous_a to_o you_o as_o the_o sun_n at_o noon_n day_n and_o the_o only_a excuse_n the_o army_n and_o loyal_a protestant_n of_o england_n have_v for_o their_o inglorious_a desert_v of_o the_o king_n be_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v by_o great_a art_n hide_v from_o their_o eye_n and_o they_o see_v no_o appearance_n of_o they_o till_o the_o convention_n have_v make_v a_o considerable_a progress_n towards_o their_o new_a settlement_n however_o beside_o this_o perspicuity_n of_o the_o design_n from_o first_o to_o last_o which_o be_v now_o manifest_a to_o you_o you_o can_v have_v that_o plea_n for_o your_o exclude_v the_o king_n which_o the_o convention_n here_o have_v make_v most_o use_v of_o viz._n that_o popery_n can_v not_o be_v otherwise_o keep_v out_o but_o by_o make_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n king_n because_o the_o king_n have_v a_o numerous_a party_n of_o roman_a catholic_n in_o england_n and_o that_o the_o king_n have_v abdicate_v the_o government_n and_o so_o the_o throne_n be_v become_v vacant_a for_o you_o have_v at_o least_o a_o thousand_o protestant_n in_o scotland_n for_o one_o papist_n and_o as_o to_o the_o abdication_n all_o your_o minister_n of_o state_n and_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o military_a force_n act_n by_o his_o majesty_n commission_n whilst_o he_o be_v beyond_o the_o sea_n as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v whilst_o he_o be_v at_o london_n and_o you_o have_v no_o dutch_a force_n to_o supersede_n your_o act_n so_o that_o if_o you_o shall_v now_o abdicate_v your_o king_n you_o have_v neither_o ignorance_n of_o the_o design_n of_o the_o king_n enemy_n nor_o a_o over-awing_a force_n nor_o any_o colourable_a plea_n for_o your_o excuse_n to_o the_o world._n it_o can_v be_v forget_v by_o you_o how_o great_a a_o stain_v it_o be_v to_o your_o nation_n that_o a_o party_n there_o have_v the_o whole_a power_n of_o your_o kingdom_n in_o their_o

when_o so_o many_o of_o these_o very_a gentleman_n that_o now_o compose_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o have_v voted_n our_o king_n unqualify_v for_o the_o crown_n if_o you_o remember_v these_o

yourselves_o famous_a to_o all_o posterity_n by_o your_o justice_n and_o fidelity_n to_o your_o king._n you_o just_o challenge_v a_o pre-eminence_n in_o that_o the_o lineal_a succession_n of_o your_o
