constant_o resolve_v neither_o to_o think_v nor_o in_o case_n it_o have_v be_v offer_v unto_o we_o any_o way_n to_o have_v accept_v a_o subsidy_n at_o this_o time_n for_o as_o in_o our_o first_o speech_n to_o this_o whole_a parliament_n we_o declare_v how_o unwilling_a we_o shall_v ever_o be_v to_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o our_o people_n so_o think_v we_o it_o a_o unfit_a time_n at_o our_o first_o parliament_n after_o our_o so_o happy_a and_o peaceable_a entry_n in_o this_o kingdom_n with_o so_o great_a and_o general_a a_o applause_n for_o have_v a_o subsidy_n raise_v upon_o they_o

but_o after_o the_o assemble_v of_o this_o parliament_n we_o be_v so_o often_o deal_v with_o and_o inform_v by_o diverse_a member_n of_o that_o house_n that_o be_v otherwise_o stranger_n to_o our_o affair_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n both_o honourable_a and_o reasonable_a that_o a_o subsidy_n shall_v be_v grant_v unto_o we_o that_o both_o our_o necessity_n require_v it_o and_o the_o people_n in_o their_o love_n be_v ready_a to_o offer_v it_o unto_o we_o that_o it_o be_v ever_o the_o form_n of_o all_o king_n of_o england_n to_o have_v a_o subsidy_n give_v they_o at_o the_o very_a first_o assemble_v of_o their_o first_o parliament_n that_o as_o it_o be_v honourable_a for_o we_o to_o receive_v it_o be_v a_o earnest_a penny_n of_o the_o people_n love_n towards_o we_o so_o will_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n nothing_o prejudicial_a nor_o hurtful_a for_o they_o to_o yield_v unto_o and_o that_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o that_o house_n that_o be_v strive_v among_o themselves_o who_o shall_v be_v the_o first_o propounder_n thereof_o as_o at_o the_o last_o we_o be_v move_v to_o be_v content_v that_o some_o shall_v prove_v the_o house_n mind_n in_o it_o only_o in_o this_o point_n be_v we_o careful_a that_o in_o case_n it_o be_v propound_v and_o put_v to_o a_o question_n it_o shall_v receive_v no_o public_a refusal_n which_o can_v not_o but_o be_v dishonourable_a unto_o we_o especial_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o the_o stranger_n that_o be_v now_o here_o but_o have_v now_o with_o time_n more_o narrow_o examine_v both_o the_o custom_n in_o the_o like_a case_n at_o the_o first_o

appear_v to_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o people_n and_o yet_o our_o commodity_n never_o a_o hair_n the_o near_o we_o have_v hereupon_o conclude_v with_o ourself_o to_o resort_v to_o our_o former_a

time_n not_o to_o meddle_v any_o further_a with_o that_o question_n assure_v they_o in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n that_o we_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o take_v it_o unkindly_a their_o not_o offer_v it_o unto_o we_o at_o this_o first_o session_n of_o this_o our_o first_o parliament_n as_o by_o the_o contrary_n we_o will_v only_o interpret_v it_o to_o proceed_v from_o the_o care_n they_o have_v that_o our_o people_n shall_v not_o have_v any_o occasion_n of_o distaste_n of_o we_o offer_v unto_o they_o at_o this_o time_n for_o the_o reason_n above_o mention_v assure_v ourself_o that_o the_o say_a house_n will_v in_o the_o own_o time_n be_v careful_a to_o see_v our_o state_n supply_v by_o such_o mean_n as_o may_v be_v most_o convenient_a for_o our_o weal_n and_o least_o hurtful_a to_o our_o subject_n wherein_o we_o remit_v ourself_o to_o their_o discreet_a consideration_n in_o the_o due_a time_n james_n r._n
