you_o be_v in_o truth_n but_o our_o procurator_n to_o speak_v for_o we_o in_o that_o great_a council_n 3._o that_o in_o right_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v access_n to_o those_o who_o we_o have_v thus_o

of_o this_o kingdom_n as_o well_o as_o yourselves_o that_o you_o will_v speedy_o take_v those_o thing_n into_o your_o wise_a and_o religious_a consideration_n which_o belong_v to_o our_o peace_n and_o which_o we_o out_o of_o the_o deep_a sense_n of_o our_o present_a misery_n and_o of_o the_o apparent_a ruin_n of_o we_o all_o if_o not_o timely_o prevent_v do_v now_o offer_v unto_o you_o none_o of_o

in_o this_o church_n of_o england_n to_o maintain_v our_o well_o settle_a government_n under_o a_o monarchy_n according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n of_o this_o land_n to_o maintain_v the_o just_a liberty_n of_o our_o person_n and_o property_n of_o our_o estate_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o those_o law_n to_o maintain_v the_o just_a privilege_n of_o parliament_n without_o which_o our_o law_n can_v hardly_o be_v continue_v and_o in_o the_o assert_n of_o these_o we_o believe_v we_o have_v the_o concurrence_n of_o both_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n for_o such_o have_v be_v their_o daily_a protestation_n from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o for_o the_o king_n majesty_n opinion_n herein_o he_o have_v by_o many_o declaration_n solemn_a protestation_n and_o religious_a vow_n before_o

hold_v ourselves_o bind_v in_o reverence_n to_o his_o person_n and_o in_o christianity_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o will_v faithful_o perform_v his_o word_n with_o his_o people_n and_o we_o have_v this_o further_a assurance_n thereof_o in_o that_o he_o have_v descend_v so_o low_a from_o his_o throne_n as_o to_o acknowledge_v some_o error_n which_o have_v slip_v he_o in_o he_o by_o past_a government_n and_o to_o undertake_v not_o to_o give_v way_n to_o the_o like_a hereafter_o we_o wish_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n that_o you_o will_v with_o the_o same_o ingenuity_n acknowledge_v
