five_o question_n propound_v to_o the_o people_n of_o england_n 1._o if_o the_o present_a king_n come_v for_o the_o good_a of_o england_n and_o not_o for_o his_o own_o end_n at_o the_o nation_n cost_v why_o then_o do_v he_o not_o embrace_v and_o improve_v the_o happy_a occasion_n of_o king_n james_n voluntary_a return_n from_o feversham_n since_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o can_v have_v no_o other_o thing_n in_o his_o eye_n by_o his_o come_n and_o message_n to_o king_n william_n and_o invitation_n of_o he_o to_o st_n james_n than_o a_o accommodation_n for_o he_o put_v himself_o thereby_o into_o king_n william_n hand_n and_o have_v hardly_o any_o other_o use_n of_o his_o own_o then_o to_o sign_n a_o national_a agreement_n 2._o whether_o since_o that_o very_a time_n the_o hand_n of_o god_n have_v not_o eminent_o show_v itself_o against_o king_n william_n for_o that_o unnatural_a ambitious_a and_o destructive_a refusal_n and_o treatement_n of_o his_o father_n first_o by_o the_o perplextity_n that_o fall_v immediate_o upon_o he_o about_o the_o very_a thing_n he_o desire_v viz._n the_o crown_n witness_v the_o hot_a contest_v in_o the_o convention_n and_o with_o what_o clossetting_n threat_v bribe_n promise_n etc._n etc._n he_o carry_v it_o and_o with_o that_o small_a advantage_n of_o vote_n above_o his_o opposer_n that_o any_o law_n will_v stand_v loose_o that_o have_v no_o better_a concurance_n at_o its_o make_n in_o the_o next_o place_n by_o the_o baffle_v upon_o his_o force_n by_o sea_n and_o land_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n and_o by_o the_o visible_a severe_a hand_n of_o god_n insomuch_o that_o no_o time_n or_o age_n these_o six_o hundred_o year_n can_v parralel_v such_o a_o year_n loss_n of_o man_n treasure_n and_o ship_n as_o this_o poor_a kingdom_n have_v sustain_v since_o the_o come_n of_o this_o present_a king_n last_o the_o many_o faction_n and_o great_a instability_n of_o counsel_n such_o as_o god_n be_v accustom_v to_o bring_v upon_o those_o that_o devise_v mischief_n or_o seek_v themselves_o or_o abuse_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n 3._o whether_o yet_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o retrieve_v this_o matter_n and_o recover_v this_o bleed_a nation_n in_o case_n king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n will_v return_v to_o their_o natural_a and_o christian_a duty_n to_o their_o father_n and_o incline_v to_o forgo_v their_o present_a untimely_a and_o perplex_a dignity_n and_o that_o thereby_o a_o good_a agreement_n may_v not_o be_v make_v for_o our_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n without_o more_o blood_n treasure_n and_o misery_n 4._o whether_o if_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n will_v not_o do_v this_o the_o people_n for_o their_o own_o sake_n ought_v not_o to_o think_v of_o the_o next_o best_o expedient_a to_o compel_v they_o to_o it_o as_o by_z addressing_z they_o for_o their_o father_n return_n and_o by_o refuse_v their_o purse_n in_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o unjust_a quarrel_n against_o he_o and_o particular_o by_o oppress_v foreign_a mercenary_a force_n that_o be_v half_a of_o they_o of_o that_o very_a religion_n their_o lawful_a king_n be_v expel_v for_o profess_v and_o which_o be_v all_o of_o they_o bring_v in_o without_o advice_n or_o consent_n of_o parliament_n &_o a_o parliament_n then_o set_v a_o thing_n without_o precedent_n for_o above_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o what_o be_v never_o do_v by_o the_o great_a and_o most_o arbitrary_a of_o our_o lawful_a and_o undoubted_a king_n of_o england_n and_o never_o attempt_v but_o by_o vortigern_n the_o last_o british_a king_n who_o to_o uphold_v his_o usurpation_n of_o the_o crown_n call_v in_o the_o saxon_n by_o which_o the_o kingdom_n become_v a_o conquest_n to_o that_o people_n 5._o whether_o if_o the_o people_n of_o england_n shall_v suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o far_o impose_v upon_o that_o against_o the_o eminent_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o their_o own_o interest_n they_o will_v persevere_v in_o the_o uphold_v the_o title_n of_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mnry_n for_o that_o be_v the_o quarrel_n and_o so_o it_o be_v must_v and_o will_v be_v state_v all_o other_o thing_n be_v by_o king_n james_n already_o grant_v in_o his_o soft_a and_o gracious_a letter_n to_o the_o convention_n this_o time_n twelve_o month_n which_o they_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o read_v but_o have_v often_o be_v make_v public_a contain_v the_o correction_n of_o past_a error_n the_o oblivion_n of_o our_o present_a fault_n the_o establishment_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n by_o secure_v the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o her_o right_n and_o the_o dissenter_n in_o their_o liberty_n desire_v no_o more_o for_o his_o own_o friend_n then_o in_o their_o own_o house_n and_o refer_v the_o whole_a to_o a_o free_a parliament_n whether_o i_o say_v the_o blood_n misery_n and_o destruction_n that_o shall_v follow_v a_o obstinate_a opposition_n to_o a_o lawful_a king_n offer_v these_o good_a and_o gracious_a term_n will_v not_o lie_v at_o our_o door_n before_o god_n and_o man_n and_o so_o make_v it_o just_o in_o he_o to_o acquire_v his_o kingdom_n at_o any_o price_n and_o rule_v they_o if_o he_o succeed_v how_o he_o please_v hear_v fear_v and_o beware_v
