the_o lord_n son_n shall_v have_v either_o so_o much_o wisdom_n or_o honesty_n as_o to_o be_v fi●_n subject_n of_o any_o power_n much_o less_o of_o that_o supreme_a trust_n of_o the_o lawgive_a power_n and_o as_o to_o the_o evil_n that_o have_v ensue_v upon_o the_o lord_n exercise_v of_o that_o law_n give_v power_n i_o speak_v my_o opinion_n as_o free_o i_o tell_v they_o that_o in_o reason_n their_o claim_n to_o that_o power_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o all_o the_o innocent_a blood_n that_o have_v be_v split_v in_o england_n if_o the_o ordinance_n in_o feb._n 1642._o for_o settle_v the_o militia_n of_o the_o kingdom_n have_v be_v put_v in_o execution_n when_o it_o be_v first_o send_v up_o to_o the_o lord_n for_o their_o concurrence_n the_o king_n can_v never_o have_v raise_v a_o army_n but_o their_o assume_v to_o themselves_o a_o power_n coordinate_a with_o this_o honourable_a house_n and_o then_o refuse_v when_o this_o honourable_a house_n send_v again_o and_o again_o and_o again_o to_o pass_v that_o ordinance_n thes_n etheir_o delay_n and_o prevention_n of_o settle_v the_o militia_n give_v both_o time_n and_o opportunity_n to_o the_o king_n to_o raise_v a_o army_n and_o then_o this_o honourable_a house_n be_v compel_v for_o the_o people_n defence_n to_o raise_v a_o army_n also_o and_o engage_v in_o war_n i_o may_v have_v add_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v never_o then_o consent_v to_o that_o ordinance_n until_o 548._o see_v 1_o part_n book_n decl._n pag._n 364_o 548._o mr._n hollis_n demand_v in_o a_o manner_n the_o name_n of_o those_o lord_n at_o the_o bar_n which_o will_v not_o concur_v and_o desire_v that_o those_o lord_n which_o will_v join_v with_o the_o commons_o to_o save_v the_o kingdom_n will_v take_v some_o course_n to_o discover_v themselves_o and_o also_o show_v they_o a_o petition_n to_o the_o commons_o desire_v that_o such_o lord_n will_v sit_v and_o vote_n with_o they_o as_o one_o entire_a c_o body_n but_o this_o i_o do_v add_v that_o we_o have_v most_o sad_a experience_n now_o of_o late_a of_o the_o dangerous_a consequence_n of_o their_o claim_n to_o that_o power_n they_o expose_v the_o kingdom_n again_o to_o blood_n and_o confusion_n by_o delay_v so_o long_o to_o pass_v those_o gallant_a vote_n of_o this_o honourable_a house_n against_o the_o king_n by_o that_o mean_v the_o people_n which_o be_v discontent_v at_o those_o vote_n have_v time_n to_o ruminate_v and_o chew_v upon_o their_o discontent_n and_o the_o fire_n of_o their_o displeasure_n have_v time_n to_o kindle_v and_o no_o man_n know_v into_o what_o flame_n it_o may_v break_v forth_o and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o possible_a mean_n to_o preserve_v the_o nation_n from_o ruin_n unless_o there_o be_v speedy_a act_n and_o proceed_n according_o to_o the_o good_a beginning_n of_o this_o honourable_a house_n some_o other_o discourse_n happen_v accidental_o about_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o sudden_a change_n which_o appear_v in_o lieut._n general_n cromwell_n and_o commissary_n general_n ireton_n that_o they_o now_o declare_v against_o any_o address_n to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o king_n or_o receive_v from_o he_o whereas_o they_o have_v plead_v that_o they_o be_v engage_v to_o preserve_v the_o king_n person_n and_o establish_v he_o in_o his_o just_a power_n hereupon_o a_o story_n be_v relate_v by_o a_o gentleman_n at_o the_o meeting_n to_o which_o i_o be_v a_o auditor_n he_o say_v he_o have_v credible_a information_n that_o a_o gallant_a honest_a gentleman_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o who_o father_n be_v a_o knight_n have_v certain_a intelligence_n that_o the_o king_n have_v promise_v lieutenant_n general_n cromwell_n to_o give_v a_o blue_a ribbon_n and_o a_o george_n and_o make_v he_o earl_n of_o essex_n and_o that_o commissary_n ireton_n shall_v be_v either_o field-marshal_a or_o some_o such_o great_a officer_n in_o ireland_n and_o that_o his_o own_o son_n shall_v be_v bod-chamber_n man_n to_o the_o prince_n and_o hereupon_o his_o spirit_n be_v so_o move_v that_o he_o resolve_v he_o will_v rather_o become_v another_o felton_n to_o cromwell_n then_o suffer_v his_o country_n to_o be_v betray_v and_o all_o honest_a man_n destroy_v and_o that_o he_o have_v prepare_v himself_o with_o pistol_n and_o dagger_n for_o that_o purpose_n only_o he_o reveal_v his_o mind_n to_o another_o member_n of_o the_o commons_o house_n which_o dissuade_v he_o from_o attempt_v the_o execution_n of_o his_o purpose_n and_o that_o lieutenant_n general_n cromwell_n have_v intelligence_n of_o this_o and_o present_o a_o fast_a or_o day_n of_o humiliation_n be_v call_v and_o so_o the_o great_a change_n ensue_v after_o this_o i_o speak_v my_o thought_n to_o this_o effect_n that_o i_o know_v not_o what_o influence_n any_o such_o circumstance_n may_v have_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o lieutenant_n general_n cromwell_n but_o i_o rather_o conceive_v that_o the_o change_n be_v upon_o this_o occasion_n viz._n that_o the_o presbyterian_a scot_n consider_v that_o lieutenant_n general_n cromwell_n be_v no_o friend_n to_o they_o and_o that_o the_o king_n be_v possess_v with_o deadly_a hatred_n against_o they_o and_o have_v intelligence_n that_o the_o king_n rely_v upon_o the_o lieutenant_n general_n to_o make_v his_o term_n for_o he_o with_o this_o honourable_a house_n and_o well_o weigh_v the_o danger_n to_o which_o they_o be_v expose_v by_o two_o such_o potent_a enemy_n or_o rather_o one_o such_o implacable_a opposer_n back_v with_o a_o potent_a army_n be_v enforce_v in_o respect_n to_o their_o own_o preservation_n to_o attempt_v the_o break_n of_o that_o design_n and_o prevent_v the_o king_n come_v in_o upon_o the_o army_n or_o lieutenant_n general_n his_o interest_n thereupon_o though_o they_o be_v no_o real_a friend_n to_o the_o king_n negative_a voice_n or_o to_o his_o pretend_a right_n to_o the_o militia_n and_o will_v not_o allow_v the_o king_n in_o their_o own_o kingdom_n a_o negative_a voice_n to_o their_o law_n in_o the_o least_o punctilio_n nor_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o power_n in_o dispose_v of_o their_o militia_n yet_o a_o necessity_n be_v upon_o they_o to_o outbid_v lieutenant_n gen._n cromwell_n and_o to_o offer_v both_o a_o negative_a voice_n and_o a_o militia_n to_o the_o king_n in_o this_o kingdom_n that_o so_o the_o king_n may_v be_v induce_v to_o cast_v himself_o upon_o they_o and_o presume_v to_o come_v in_o upon_o their_o interest_n hereupon_o the_o king_n as_o he_o say_v at_o ouburne_n accept_v his_o best_a bargain_n and_o take_v their_o proffer_n who_o bid_v most_o for_o he_o and_o then_o the_o tender_v of_o the_o lieutenant_n general_n be_v reject_v he_o be_v necessitate_v to_o engage_v with_o this_o honourable_a house_n in_o those_o vote_n that_o there_o shall_v neither_o any_o address_n be_v make_v further_o to_o he_o nor_o any_o receive_v from_o he_o and_o when_o i_o consider_v how_o zealous_o commissary_n general_n ireton_n have_v former_o endeavour_v the_o renew_n address_n unto_o the_o king_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v another_o manner_n of_o address_n make_v to_o he_o than_o be_v by_o the_o proposion_n send_v to_o newcastle_n and_o when_o he_o be_v reflect_v upon_o by_o some_o of_o the_o general_n council_n at_o putney_n as_o have_v occasion_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o army_n to_o be_v misrepresent_v to_o this_o honourable_a house_n viz._n that_o it_o desire_v a_o new_a address_n to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o king_n he_o profess_v that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o army_n he_o will_v loathe_v and_o abhor_v the_o army_n and_o detest_v to_o continue_v with_o they_o for_o a_o day_n when_o i_o consider_v these_o thing_n and_o mind_n that_o the_o same_o
