to_o the_o parliament_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o england_n who_o be_v in_o place_n of_o authority_n to_o do_v justice_n and_o in_o present_a power_n to_o ease_v the_o oppress_a nation_n from_o its_o bond_n council_n and_o advice_n unto_o you_o from_o a_o friend_n that_o seek_v after_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n from_o you_o and_o always_o faithful_o desire_v the_o nation_n good_a and_o that_o the_o government_n thereof_o may_v be_v establish_v upon_o a_o just_a and_o equal_a and_o right_a foundation_n that_o the_o lord_n god_n may_v possess_v his_o right_n and_o all_o man_n their_o right_n in_o our_o land_n and_o that_o man_n of_o truth_n and_o sound_a judgement_n may_v be_v set_v to_o judge_v the_o people_n in_o outward_a thing_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o good_a conscience_n in_o faith_n and_o worship_n leave_v unto_o god_n that_o blessing_n and_o mercy_n true_a freedom_n peace_n and_o unity_n may_v run_v down_o as_o a_o stream_n in_o the_o land_n of_o our_o nativity_n and_o that_o all_o the_o contrary_a may_v be_v cast_v out_o and_o remove_v far_o away_o from_o we_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n these_o thing_n follow_v do_v i_o propound_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o may_v read_v and_o consider_v to_o the_o end_n that_o righteousness_n alone_o may_v be_v establish_v in_o the_o nation_n both_o in_o the_o foundation_n and_o practice_n of_o government_n for_o as_o much_o as_o this_o nation_n the_o land_n of_o our_o native_a inheritance_n as_o we_o be_v member_n of_o it_o have_v long_o be_v hold_v under_o great_a bondage_n and_o captivity_n and_o the_o

thereof_o for_o not_o only_o the_o practice_n but_o also_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o government_n and_o the_o choose_n of_o governor_n also_o have_v be_v out_o of_o course_n and_o not_o right_o lay_v nor_o establish_v in_o righteousness_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o darkness_n that_o have_v be_v over_o all_o people_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o antichrist_n who_o kingdom_n and_o government_n have_v be_v in_o dominion_n in_o all_o nation_n ever_o since_o the_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o faith_n once_o deliver_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o then_o come_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v

and_o thus_o it_o have_v continue_v for_o many_o age_n whereby_o the_o inhabitant_n have_v be_v always_o suffer_v under_o and_o liable_a to_o great_a oppression_n and_o vexation_n be_v subject_v under_o such_o a_o government_n fall_v as_o aforesaid_a from_o parent_n to_o child_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o heathen_a nation_n and_o be_v subject_v to_o such_o law_n make_v and_o execute_v by_o man_n not_o true_o call_v and_o ordain_v of_o god_n thereunto_o insomuch_o that_o nothing_o have_v be_v perceive_v nor_o intend_v by_o man_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o of_o his_o good_a spirit_n in_o the_o call_n of_o our_o king_n and_o choose_v of_o our_o ruler_n but_o these_o thing_n have_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o be_v after_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n and_o not_o after_o the_o order_n and_o council_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o our_o nation_n have_v be_v under_o the_o bond_n of_o slavery_n in_o this_o respect_n even_o because_o man_n have_v govern_v that_o ought_v not_o and_o while_o the_o great_a and_o rich_a man_n have_v be_v set_v to_o rule_v over_o the_o poor_a and_o while_o man_n for_o earthly_a honour_n and_o for_o riches_n sake_n in_o birth_n

and_o without_o true_a call_n from_o the_o lord_n or_o any_o certain_a testimony_n from_o he_o and_o thus_o it_o have_v continue_v for_o many_o age_n because_o of_o which_o the_o free_a bear_a people_n have_v deep_o suffer_v the_o cruel_a oppression_n of_o proud_a and_o ambitious_a and_o self-seeking_a man_n who_o have_v long_o rule_v for_o themselves_o and_o not_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v come_v into_o the_o place_n of_o authority_n over_o we_o otherwise_o then_o by_o appointment_n and_o right_a call_n from_o the_o lord_n as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o thus_o the_o government_n of_o our_o nation_n have_v be_v out_o of_o course_n and_o not_o as_o the_o lord_n require_v it_o even_o until_o this_o day_n while_o great_a darkness_n have_v remain_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o
