A80408	Redintegratio amoris, or A union of hearts, between the Kings most excellent Majesty, the Right Honorable the Lords and Commons in Parliament, His Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, and the Army under his command; the Assembly, and every honest man that desires a sound and durable peace, accompanied with speedy justice and piety. By way of respective apologies, so far as Scripture and reason may be judges. / By John Cook of Grayes-Inne, Barrester.

of_o his_o predecessor_n but_o it_o will_v be_v allege_v that_o reason_n be_v malleable_a and_o one_o reason_n may_v be_v bring_v against_o another_o true_o in_o matter_n of_o moral_a justice_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o imagine_v any_o great_a difficulty_n that_o cause_n which_o at_o first_o be_v a_o bulrush_n come_v to_o be_v a_o giant_n difference_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v plain_a and_o

that_o a_o poor_a client_n can_v scarce_o get_v out_o of_o the_o labyrinth_n but_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o every_o rational_a man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o a_o law-case_n but_o that_o that_o can_v be_v give_v law_n when_o there_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n to_o be_v give_v against_o it_o as_o put_v the_o case_n there_o be_v a_o verdict_n for_o a_o just_a

sufficient_a ground_n to_o raise_v army_n as_o they_o do_v but_o that_o be_v but_o to_o argue_v whether_o the_o protestant_n or_o the_o papist_n be_v of_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o next_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o what_o those_o just_a ground_n and_o argument_n be_v but_o that_o will_v savour_v of_o presumption_n have_v be_v so_o full_o and_o ungainsaying_o declare_v by_o both_o house_n and_o may_v be_v unsafe_a if_o i_o shall_v omit_v any_o and_o at_o the_o best_a prove_v tedious_a to_o the_o reader_n my_o desire_n be_v not_o to_o build_v upon_o any_o man_n foundation_n nor_o to_o
