already_o a_o petition_n in_o my_o mouth_n neither_o do_v i_o annunciate_v any_o thing_n to_o my_o own_o proper_a gain_n but_o to_o the_o real_a accommodation_n of_o this_o whole_a kingdom_n for_o although_o a_o particular_a conspiracy_n by_o some_o confederate_n be_v intend_v against_o myself_o and_o other_o noble_a member_n of_o this_o house_n yet_o that_o very_a thing_n do_v not_o so_o

how_o preposterous_o our_o mortal_a enemy_n the_o papist_n do_v not_o only_o cast_v their_o invective_n aspersion_n but_o also_o their_o intend_a malice_n against_o we_o and_o shall_v we_o thus_o

not_o so_o old_a as_o true_a the_o impunity_n of_o a_o fault_n do_v add_v more_o courage_n to_o the_o offender_n and_o i_o fear_v if_o we_o do_v not_o curb_v in_o time_n their_o extend_a malice_n all_o thing_n will_v grow_v to_o a_o high_a anarchy_n the_o remission_n of_o some_o fault_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o commission_n of_o other_o and_o if_o we_o connive_v at_o their_o nefarious_a conspirace_n we_o do_v in_o some_o manner_n encourage_v they_o in_o their_o wicked_a proceed_n and_o so_o by_o subsequent_a conclusion_n become_v ourselves_o confederate_n unto_o they_o i_o confess_v many_o of_o their_o accurse_a crew_n be_v aggregate_a in_o ireland_n and_o by_o a_o irregular_a insurrection_n do_v intend_v the_o utter_a demolition_n of_o christian_a religion_n but_o god_n foresee_v their_o erroneous_a imagination_n and_o will_v in_o due_a time_n as_o we_o trust_v in_o his_o omnipotent_a justice_n precipitate_v all_o their_o babylonish_a intent_n many_o may_v build_v castle_n in_o the_o air_n but_o to_o little_a effect_n and_o many_o likewise_o may_v aim_v at_o the_o ruin_n of_o protestant_n but_o although_o they_o be_v in_o strength_n like_o goliath_n yet_o will_v the_o little_a stone_n of_o religious_a david_n guide_v by_o god_n own_o hand_n maugre_o all_o their_o gigantean_a puissance_n my_o lord_n if_o my_o tongue_n have_v commit_v any_o error_n in_o its_o prolixity_n and_o longinquity_n of_o word_n that_o error_n shall_v wait_v upon_o your_o gracious_a pardon_n but_o this_o i_o be_o confident_a of_o neither_o will_v i_o ever_o desist_v from_o my_o opinion_n that_o unless_o we_o do_v full_o vindicate_v these_o malicious_a papist_n these_o two_o kingdom_n both_o scotland_n and_o england_n can_v sleep_v long_o in_o security_n if_o they_o do_v not_o intend_v our_o subversion_n why_o do_v they_o conspire_v against_o we_o if_o they_o do_v not_o intend_v our_o subversion_n why_o have_v they_o so_o oftentimes_o plot_v against_o england_n if_o they_o do_v not_o intend_v our_o subversion_n why_o be_v they_o now_o gather_v together_o in_o ireland_n daily_o study_v the_o demolition_n of_o this_o state_n and_o kingdom_n my_o lord_n assure_v yourselves_o that_o these_o thing_n can_v proceed_v from_o a_o good_a intent_n and_o if_o you_o annect_v and_o consummate_v all_o their_o conspirace_n into_o one_o bundle_n you_o will_v find_v they_o so_o various_a and_o intricate_o numerous_a that_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o they_o themselves_o can_v expect_v nothing_o but_o justice_n be_v it_o so_o then_o that_o their_o very_o own_o action_n do_v cry_v out_o for_o justice_n why_o be_v we_o then_o so_o backward_o in_o the_o execution_n thereof_o be_v it_o so_o then_o that_o revenge_n herself_o stand_v idle_a why_o do_v we_o not_o employ_v she_o be_v it_o so_o then_o that_o the_o kingdom_n expect_v a_o vindication_n why_o do_v we_o then_o frustrate_v they_o of_o their_o quotidian_a expectation_n my_o lord_n i_o conceive_v it_o very_o expedient_a that_o we_o shall_v levy_v a_o sufficient_a army_n to_o repel_v they_o and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o suffice_v then_o utter_o to_o expel_v they_o i_o be_o sure_a and_o confident_a thereof_o that_o england_n will_v conjoin_v with_o we_o in_o munition_n therefore_o let_v we_o labour_v with_o all_o expedition_n to_o beat_v down_o their_o aspire_a malice_n let_v we_o not_o procrastinate_v this_o business_n lest_o in_o the_o deferment_n hereof_o god_n himself_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o who_o cause_n we_o ought_v to_o maintain_v what_o fear_n can_v be_v conceive_v to_o oppose_v we_o when_o the_o almighty_a omnipotence_n will_v fight_v for_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o raise_v a_o sufficient_a army_n against_o they_o for_o no_o better_a cause_n can_v ever_o offer_v itself_o unto_o we_o than_o the_o maintenance_n of_o true_a religion_n my_o lord_n i_o beseech_v you_o weigh_v my_o word_n with_o your_o sage_a gravity_n and_o entertain_v my_o hearty_a desire_n with_o all_o your_o consent_n herein_o which_o hope_v i_o shall_v obtain_v of_o you_o these_o be_v my_o hope_n these_o be_v my_o wish_n and_o last_o these_o be_v my_o prayer_n finis_fw-la
