his_o commissioner_n i_o will_v end_v with_o these_o few_o note_n out_o of_o they_o to_o let_v pass_v the_o substance_n of_o those_o instruction_n since_o my_o purpose_n only_o be_v to_o show_v how_o real_o his_o majesty_n seek_v a_o peace_n how_o foul_o soever_o he_o be_v now_o traduce_v that_o he_o offer_v to_o join_v in_o the_o rectify_v abuse_n if_o any_o have_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n ease_v tender_a conscience_n etc._n etc._n stand_v not_o upon_o give_v the_o rebel_n security_n by_o strong_a town_n that_o article_n agree_v on_o shall_v be_v perform_v and_o offer_v some_o of_o they_o reward_n or_o place_n nay_o in_o all_o the_o letter_n there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o take_v revenge_n in_o the_o future_a on_o any_o person_n which_o express_v as_o well_o his_o majesty_n christian_a as_o generous_a spirit_n be_v not_o now_o angry_a with_o i_o that_o all_o this_o satisfy_v i_o of_o his_o majesty_n princely_a intention_n to_o his_o people_n and_o amaze_v i_o of_o your_o comment_n i_o can_v say_v remember_v cham_n that_o discover_v his_o father_n nakedness_n for_o that_o be_v not_o your_o case_n you_o discover_v not_o you_o make_v there_o be_v no_o example_n but_o a_o

success_n may_v make_v you_o unapt_a to_o believe_v this_o but_o when_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n come_v than_o you_o may_v as_o solomon_n say_v consider_v for_o true_o i_o divulge_v this_o more_o to_o justify_v honest_a man_n who_o have_v a_o dutiful_a and_o reverend_a opinion_n of_o his_o majesty_n letter_n then_o with_o hope_n to_o convert_v a_o unreasonable_a and_o obstinate_a party_n many_o more_o instance_n there_o be_v to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o king_n letter_n but_o there_o be_v a_o whole_a book_n of_o the_o treaty_n and_o i_o love_v not_o actum_fw-la agere_fw-la the_o next_o great_a objection_n be_v the_o cessation_n and_o peace_n with_o ireland_n that_o also_o be_v at_o large_a handle_v in_o the_o say_a book_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o touch_v some_o thing_n natural_a to_o these_o letter_n see_v then_o the_o reason_n which_o be_v chief_o these_o pag._n 27._o all_o the_o world_n know_v the_o imminent_a and_o inevitable_a necessity_n which_o cause_v i_o to_o make_v the_o irish_a cessation_n and_o there_o remain_v yet_o as_o strong_a reason_n for_o conclude_v of_o that_o peace_n and_o pag._n 16._o 1._o the_o impossibility_n of_o preserve_v my_o protestant_a subject_n in_o jreland_n by_o a_o continuation_n of_o a_o war_n have_v move_v i_o to_o give_v you_o these_o power_n and_o direction_n which_o i_o have_v former_o do_v etc._n etc._n 2._o beside_o it_o be_v now_o manifest_a that_o the_o english_a rebel_n have_v as_o far_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v give_v the_o command_n of_o ireland_n to_o the_o scot_n i_o think_v myself_o bind_v not_o to_o let_v slip_v the_o mean_n of_o settle_v that_o kingdom_n if_o it_o may_v be_v full_o under_o my_o obedience_n nor_o to_o loose_v that_o assistance_n i_o may_v hope_v from_o my_o irish_a subject_n here_o you_o may_v observe_v the_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o the_o king_n for_o you_o have_v deprive_v he_o of_o force_n either_o to_o save_v his_o protestant_a subject_n or_o to_o reduce_v his_o popish_a then_o he_o see_v jreland_n as_o a_o prey_n give_v to_o the_o scot_n and_o sure_o the_o irish_a have_v which_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v never_o grudge_v they_o since_o they_o be_v his-majesties_n subject_n what_o ever_o their_o religion_n be_v reason_n to_o expect_v to_o have_v his_o protection_n and_o last_o his_o majesty_n see_v his_o irish_a subject_n design_v as_o a_o conquest_n for_o the_o scot_n and_o so_o he_o know_v he_o shall_v not_o only_o want_v that_o assistance_n which_o in_o duty_n the_o irish_a ought_v to_o yield_v he_o for_o certain_o protestant_a prince_n may_v use_v their_o popish_a subject_n in_o their_o war_n since_o none_o doubt_n christian_n former_o can_v serve_v heathen_a emperor_n in_o they_o but_o by_o the_o scot_n conquest_n of_o the_o irish_a he_o be_v also_o to_o expect_v the_o rebellion_n against_o himself_o so_o much_o the_o more_o strengthen_v nay_o english_a subject_n may_v hereafter_o find_v the_o scot_n who_o now_o help_v they_o in_o this_o rebellion_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v master_n of_o their_o own_o land_n possessor_n of_o so_o much_o of_o we_o for_o i_o doubt_v few_o of_o we_o shall_v live_v to_o see_v they_o whole_o out_v so_o enrich_v as_o they_o be_v by_o the_o plunder_v of_o this_o country_n and_o so_o strengthen_v by_o the_o foot_n give_v they_o in_o ireland_n will_v at_o last_o be_v as_o like_a to_o conquer_v or_o give_v the_o law_n to_o this_o nation_n as_o they_o be_v now_o ready_a to_o assist_v some_o of_o they_o and_o here_o let_v i_o say_v since_o the_o king_n be_v bear_v in_o scotland_n i_o can_v enough_o express_v how_o much_o the_o english_a be_v bind_v to_o he_o for_o his_o sense_n of_o the_o honour_n of_o this_o nation_n see_v how_o he_o express_v it_o pag●●_n the_o english_a rebel_n whether_o base_o or_o ignorant_o will_v be_v no_o very_o great_a difference_n have_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o liar_n transmit_v the_o command_n of_o ireland_n from_o the_o

the_o english_a rebel_n will_v be_v so_o base_a to_o admit_v ten_o scot_n to_o twenty_o english_a but_o this_o care_n of_o the_o honour_n of_o england_n be_v no_o new_a humour_n or_o distaste_n

enough_o with_o the_o question_n to_o who_o now_o the_o only_a objection_n be_v that_o he_o be_v too_o indulgent_a and_o one_o part_n of_o the_o quarrel_n be_v she_o neglect_v the_o english_a tongue_n and_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n behold_v then_o upon_o all_o oceasion_n how_o sensible_a he_o be_v of_o the_o honour_n of_o this_o nation_n who_o be_v at_o present_a so_o forgetful_a of_o their_o

some_o observation_n upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o publish_v their_o majesty_n letter_n oxford_z print_v by_o leonard_n lichfield_n printer_n to_o the_o university_n 1645._o some_o observation_n upon_o

be_v write_v to_o detract_v from_o prince_n or_o great_a man_n shall_v ever_o find_v a_o easy_a belief_n than_o what_o be_v rational_o offer_v to_o defend_v they_o against_o aspersion_n so_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o declare_v a_o private_a man_n opinion_n concern_v the_o intercept_a letter_n of_o the_o king_n since_o the_o preface_n say_v he_o must_v be_v a_o papist_n the_o worst_a of_o man_n or_o a_o jesuit_n the_o false_a of_o papist_n that_o will_v defend_v they_o well!_o let_v it_o find_v belief_n as_o it_o will_v he_o be_v neither_o papist_n nor_o jesuit_n that_o dare_v say_v if_o there_o be_v not_o forgery_n in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o king_n letter_n for_o a_o word_n or_o two_o vary_a or_o omit_v may_v make_v a_o new_a matter_n yet_o the_o inference_n on_o they_o be_v neither_o perspicuous_a nor_o modest_a the_o letter_n not_o unworthy_a a_o prince_n defendor_n of_o the_o faith_n against_o who_o so_o dangerous_a and_o causeless_o a_o rebellion_n be_v

of_o confidence_n i_o can_v express_v to_o thou_o for_o it_o be_v no_o thanks_n to_o i_o to_o trust_v thou_o in_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o in_o this_o which_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n of_o

we_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o crime_n and_o such_o a_o crime_n there_o be_v for_o how_o heinous_a be_v it_o now_o to_o flounder_n the_o pretend_a house_n of_o commons_o or_o both_o house_n call_v the_o parliament_n in_o this_o usurp_a authority_n from_o the_o sincerity_n of_o my_o heart_n i_o profess_v it_o i_o conceive_v be_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o passage_n in_o the_o letter_n as_o

to_o a_o misaffected_a and_o ignorant_a people_n may_v make_v this_o seem_v very_o odious_a but_o to_o rational_a man_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a many_o that_o can_v not_o find_v out_o reason_n will_v understand_v it_o when_o it_o be_v lay_v before_o they_o i_o offer_v this_o that_o follow_v that_o true_a it_o be_v and_o will_v it_o be_v as_o receive_v a_o opinion_n as_o it_o be_v true_a that_o no_o man_n or_o body_n politic_a may_v commit_v a_o sin_n for_o any_o good_a that_o may_v be_v pretend_v to_o be_v procure_v thereby_o so_o as_o if_o this_o dispensation_n be_v in_o itself_o
