sir_n we_o dare_v not_o encourage_v you_o to_o be_v kind_a to_o we_o and_o we_o must_v stay_v our_o address_n of_o thanks_o lest_o we_o give_v a_o scandal_n to_o our_o brethren_n or_o they_o hereafter_o punish_v we_o for_o this_o forwardness_n i_o fancy_v you_o have_v the_o vanity_n to_o hope_v that_o your_o letter_n will_v prevail_v with_o some_o to_o desist_v from_o address_n upon_o those_o motive_n otherwise_o what_o need_n be_v there_o for_o you_o to_o be_v so_o urgent_a with_o they_o to_o suppress_v their_o impatience_n and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o that_o be_v now_o abhorrer_n to_o stick_v close_o to_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n till_o the_o king_n die_v who_o god_n long_o preserve_v to_o finish_v this_o great_a work_n in_o hope_n a_o protestant_a parliament_n under_o a_o protestant_a king_n will_v grant_v they_o better_a term_n for_o i_o hope_v by_o the_o word_n parliament_n you_o mean_v not_o the_o two_o house_n like_o those_o of_o 41_o who_o entitle_v they_o to_o the_o supreme_a power_n it_o seem_v if_o dissenter_n harken_v not_o to_o you_o though_o at_o present_v you_o be_v willing_a to_o make_v a_o gentle_a construction_n of_o the_o well_o mean_v zeal_n of_o some_o in_o draw_v other_o into_o the_o mistake_n yet_o you_o threaten_v they_o with_o sharpness_n and_o satyr_n because_o in_o strictness_n the_o matter_n will_v bear_v it_o if_o we_o believe_v you_o r_o it_o seem_v a_o dissenter_n may_v feed_v full_o but_o must_v say_v no_o grace_n or_o cry_v roast-meat_n will_v you_o have_v they_o pet_n like_o froward_a child_n because_o the_o benevolence_n be_v not_o offer_v first_o to_o they_o or_o in_o the_o circumstance_n they_o desire_v it_o it_o seem_v they_o may_v private_o thank_v god_n for_o put_v it_o into_o the_o king_n heart_n to_o grant_v they_o ease_v yea_o they_o may_v enjoy_v the_o advantag_n e_o of_o it_o but_o without_o noise_n lest_o some_o dog_n catch_v the_o morsel_n the_o cat_n purse_n upon_o oh_o a_o public_a own_n and_o desire_v to_o have_v indulgence_n establlsh_v by_o law_n be_v to_o support_v a_o act_n irregular_o do_v against_o the_o sacred_a law_n of_o the_o land_n this_o be_v such_o a_o trespass_n as_o may_v no_o way_n be_v defend_v but_o to_o observe_v any_o rule_n of_o good_a manner_n or_o dutifulness_n to_o the_o king_n be_v a_o grievous_a fault_n methinks_v you_o ought_v to_o have_v bring_v very_o undeniable_a authority_n ere_o you_o have_v presume_v to_o question_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o king_n his_o privy_a council_n and_o the_o court_n of_o the_o kings-bench_n as_o to_o the_o dispense_v power_n but_o since_o you_o offer_v not_o one_o syllable_n of_o argument_n i_o shall_v remit_v you_o to_o westminster-hall_n to_o defend_v the_o point_n and_o receive_v your_o doom_n you_o endeavour_v gent●y_a to_o stroke_v the_o dissenter_n that_o be_v under_o temptation_n and_o frailty_n which_o make_v they_o you_o say_v leap_v over_o the_o objection_n may_v be_v make_v and_o overlook_v the_o sad_a consequence_n of_o give_v thanks_o not_o only_o as_o a_o inlet_n to_o popery_n but_o the_o give_v a_o deadly_a blow_n to_o all_o the_o law_n by_o which_o their_o liberty_n and_o religion_n be_v to_o be_v protect_v this_o be_v a_o heavy_a sentence_n whereby_o they_o be_v judge_v to_o sell_v their_o birthright_n for_o a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n or_o a_o mess_n of_o pottage_n let_v we_o therefore_o turn_v the_o optic_a glass_n and_o you_o may_v more_o sure_o discover_v that_o the_o king_n design_v no_o breach_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la nor_o to_o retain_v any_o council_n for_o the_o prerogative_n against_o it_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o have_v it_o confirm_v in_o a_o much_o large_a extent_n than_o ever_o it_o be_v by_o his_o royal_a predecessor_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o all_o penal_a law_n for_o religion_n be_v so_o many_o infringement_n of_o it_o and_o if_o you_o will_v have_v magna_fw-la charta_fw-la inviolable_o keep_v you_o know_v what_o church_n be_v thereby_o establish_v here_o therefore_o you_o quarrel_n with_o the_o king_n for_o endeavour_v to_o have_v a_o charter_n of_o liberty_n establish_v that_o will_v be_v a_o standard_n for_o all_o future_a freedom_n and_o enfranchisement_n of_o conscience_n and_o to_o infer_v that_o the_o subject_n yield_v to_o this_o will_v put_v they_o out_o of_o the_o protection_n of_o all_o the_o law_n that_o secure_v their_o liberty_n be_v no_o less_o a_o ignorant_a than_o seditious_a suggestion_n s_o we_o be_v a_o most_o happy_a people_n in_o the_o security_n we_o have_v by_o law_n to_o enjoy_v the_o liberty_n the_o royal_a predecessor_n of_o our_o most_o gracious_a king_n have_v grant_v but_o if_o his_o majecty_n effect_v his_o desire_n in_o this_o repeal_n he_o will_v be_v the_o author_n of_o a_o great_a freedom_n to_o the_o subject_n than_o they_o ever_o yet_o enjoy_v so_o that_o none_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n shall_v be_v put_v upon_o ever_o complain_v against_o or_o the_o give_v up_o the_o question_n since_o all_o pretence_n of_o puttng_a it_o will_v be_v thereby_o prevent_v by_o the_o operate_a power_n of_o such_o a_o act_n such_o a_o mutual_a

that_o they_o will_v be_v no_o more_o disquiet_v with_o rebellion_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n the_o parliament_n will_v be_v ease_v of_o the_o tiresome_a disquiet_v and_o unpleasing_a
