opposite_a to_o the_o end_n to_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v in_o their_o first_o institution_n three_o it_o be_v common_a as_o in_o all_o other_o law_n so_o by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n to_o

case_n fo._n 9_o and_o 13_o 18_o 19_o not_o to_o trouble_v my_o reader_n with_o particular_a case_n in_o a_o matter_n that_o will_v brook_v no_o denial_n now_o who_o know_v not_o that_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o call_n of_o this_o parliament_n there_o be_v a_o arm_a power_n in_o this_o kingdom_n inimical_a to_o the_o restauration_n of_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o the_o ancient_a and_o legal_a government_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o that_o to_o have_v summon_v the_o peer_n at_o all_o or_o the_o commons_o in_o the_o king_n name_n may_v then_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o a_o

therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o call_v the_o parliament_n because_o nothing_o but_o a_o parliament_n can_v repair_v the_o breach_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o parliament_n can_v be_v call_v in_o no_o other_o manner_n than_o it_o be_v without_o the_o hazard_n of_o a_o new_a war_n and_o victory_n be_v uncertain_a of_o the_o dissolution_n of_o government_n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o necessity_n end_v with_o the_o king_n come_v into_o england_n and_o therefore_o another_o parliament_n ought_v afterwards_o to_o have_v be_v legal_o call_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o necessity_n which_o occasion_v the_o call_n of_o this_o parliament_n be_v not_o only_o to_o invite_v home_o his_o majesty_n but_o to_o confirm_v and_o secure_v he_o in_o the_o throne_n and_o to_o do_v such_o other_o thing_n for_o the_o safety_n and_o peace_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o can_v be_v only_o do_v by_o they_o with_o security_n to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o sit_v continue_v first_o till_o they_o have_v pass_v the_o act_n of_o oblivion_n because_o it_o be_v offer_v of_o the_o king_n free_a grace_n who_o be_v not_o otherwise_o bind_v but_o by_o his_o royal_a word_n in_o his_o declaration_n from_o breda_n which_o refer_v to_o such_o exception_n as_o this_o present_a parliament_n shall_v make_v it_o have_v be_v unsafe_a for_o the_o nation_n and_o will_v have_v be_v get_v fear_n in_o a_o great_a number_n of_o guilty_a mind_n which_o may_v quick_o have_v break_v out_o into_o open_a commotion_n if_o this_o parliament_n have_v be_v dissolve_v before_o that_o act_n have_v be_v pass_v for_o their_o pardon_n and_o indemnity_n second_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n be_v not_o safe_a whilst_o a_o army_n be_v on_o foot_n that_o be_v but_o a_o reconcile_a enemy_n and_o have_v not_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o parliament_n overawe_v they_o till_o and_o in_o their_o disband_n no_o man_n be_v certain_a and_o it_o have_v be_v great_a folly_n to_o have_v put_v a_o matter_n of_o that_o import_n into_o hazard_n whether_o they_o may_v not_o have_v break_v their_o faith_n and_o allegiance_n be_v spur_v on_o by_o despair_n to_o have_v attempt_v some_o great_a rebellion_n which_o may_v have_v bring_v we_o into_o a_o relapse_n of_o all_o our_o misery_n before_o a_o other_o parliament_n can_v have_v be_v summon_v and_o convene_v they_o who_o know_v the_o history_n of_o that_o army_n will_v not_o think_v such_o a_o accident_n impossible_a and_o therefore_o this_o parliament_n be_v necessitate_v to_o sit_v till_o they_o have_v disband_v the_o army_n and_o effect_v all_o the_o other_o business_n that_o be_v depend_v thereupon_o or_o in_o

of_o the_o peace_n and_o happiness_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o general_a as_o to_o the_o author_n three_o exception_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v not_o begin_v with_o the_o king_n personal_a or_o

first_o access_n to_o the_o two_o honourable_a house_n and_o in_o the_o general_a i_o affirm_v that_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o determine_v what_o be_v a_o parliament_n according_a to_o the_o

the_o king_n and_o parliament_n have_v by_o their_o act_n entitle_v a_o act_n for_o remove_v and_o prevent_v all_o question_n and_o dispute_n concerning_o the_o assemble_v and_o sit_v of_o this_o
