between_o the_o king_n and_o people_n be_v by_o some_o just_a and_o safe_a way_n determine_v for_o hear_v the_o flame_n of_o war_n at_o first_o break_v out_o and_o the_o fire_n tho_o seem_o quench_v will_v from_o hence_o except_o timely_o prevent_v kindle_v into_o high_a flame_n of_o war_n and_o destruction_n it_o can_v be_v our_o rational_a desire_n that_o the_o king_n or_o any_o other_o shall_v be_v advance_v to_o the_o hurt_n prejudice_n and_o vassalage_n of_o the_o people_n we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o prerogative_n or_o privilege_n of_o king_n or_o parliament_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o just_a liberty_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o people_n we_o will_v therefore_o much_o rather_o choose_v a_o everlasting_a war_n then_o everlasting_a bondage_n and_o slavery_n as_o conceive_v it_o more_o sntable_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o piety_n and_o humanity_n and_o we_o humble_o pray_v that_o the_o parliament_n may_v be_v mind_v by_o you_o that_o our_o covenant_n solemn_o make_v with_o our_o hand_n lift_v up_o to_o heaven_n thereby_o call_v the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o witness_v for_o our_o sincerity_n and_o employ_v his_o divine_a aid_n for_o performance_n be_v not_o make_v to_o king_n or_o parliament_n but_o to_o god_n the_o judge_n of_o all_o and_o that_o therefore_o neither_o king_n nor_o parliament_n can_v absolve_v we_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o it_o as_o therefore_o we_o be_v draw_v into_o this_o bond_n at_o the_o instance_n by_o the_o convince_a argument_n and_o good_a example_n of_o the_o parliament_n so_o we_o hope_v the_o parliament_n will_v not_o commit_v so_o great_a wickedness_n as_o to_o become_v covenant_n breaker_n with_o their_o god_n themselves_o much_o less_o require_v other_o and_o least_o of_o all_o compel_v they_o to_o it_o and_o thereby_o bring_v a_o heavy_a curse_n upon_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n which_o yet_o if_o they_o shall_v do_v and_o which_o our_o gracious_a god_n forbid_v we_o know_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o almighty_a beseech_v you_o to_o declare_v in_o our_o behalf_n that_o we_o can_v we_o dare_v not_o nay_o we_o will_v not_o join_v or_o consent_v with_o they_o therein_o pardon_v we_o if_o again_o we_o beseech_v your_o excellencies_n endeavour_n in_o settle_v the_o great_a business_n of_o the_o king_n by_o some_o just_a and_o righteous_a way_n let_v the_o people_n know_v what_o they_o shall_v trust_v unto_o and_o not_o be_v thus_o harrass_v by_o perpetual_a trouble_n and_o war_n as_o they_o be_v like_a to_o be_v if_o this_o business_n be_v not_o determine_v and_o in_o case_n his_o majesty_n shall_v refuse_v to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o these_o just_a demand_n of_o the_o people_n and_o so_o continue_v the_o kingdom_n in_o this_o sad_a unsettle_a rage_a distemper_n so_o that_o we_o can_v enjoy_v peace_n and_o truth_n in_o security_n with_o he_o who_o just_a right_n together_o with_o our_o own_o we_o hearty_o desire_v than_o we_o entreat_v that_o the_o parliament_n may_v be_v mind_v of_o their_o most_o reasonable_a and_o equal_a vote_n which_o they_o have_v make_v and_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n in_o print_n viz._n to_o settle_v the_o kingdom_n without_o he_o and_o our_o further_a hope_n and_o desire_n to_o your_o excellency_n and_o honourable_a army_n be_v that_o until_o these_o thing_n before_o mention_v shall_v

then_o to_o be_v find_v false_a in_o the_o covenant_n of_o our_o god_n and_o so_o draw_v down_o divine_a vengeance_n on_o we_o and_o our_o posterity_n and_o because_o the_o future_a peace_n and_o
