away_o as_o no_o suspicion_n can_v remain_v of_o their_o return_v for_o which_o many_o thanks_n and_o acknowledgement_n be_v due_a and_o will_v be_v give_v to_o his_o majesty_n by_o all_o good_a subject_n how_o insensible_a and_o unthankful_a soever_o you_o resolve_v to_o be_v since_o not_o only_o all_o the_o delinquent_n in_o such_o case_n be_v offer_v to_o the_o trial_n and_o punishment_n of_o the_o law_n except_v only_o those_o who_o new_a crime_n of_o unthankfulness_n and_o malice_n against_o the_o king_n have_v render_v justify_v and_o innocent_a and_o unfit_a to_o be_v question_v for_o all_o their_o former_a bribery_n and_o extortion_n but_o likewise_o the_o most_o earnest_a assurance_n by_o solemn_a and_o public_a protestation_n and_o oath_n free_o give_v we_o by_o his_o majesty_n join_v with_o unusual_a acknowledgement_n of_o error_n past_a and_o all_o reasonable_a offer_n of_o satisfaction_n for_o they_o as_o particular_o for_o his_o repair_n unto_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o curse_n on_o his_o own_o person_n and_o his_o child_n if_o those_o protestation_n be_v not_o sincere_a that_o sure_o they_o that_o believe_v not_o his_o majesty_n if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o for_o i_o be_o confident_a most_o of_o those_o that_o say_v they_o do_v not_o believe_v he_o do_v blaspheme_v their_o own_o faith_n and_o be_v anti-hypocrite_n of_o infidelity_n they_o must_v confess_v a_o renounce_n of_o christian_a charity_n which_o believe_v all_o thing_n and_o they_o must_v think_v his_o majesty_n destitute_a of_o ordinary_a prudence_n since_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o there_o be_v no_o possible_a way_n for_o he_o leave_v to_o reign_v in_o splendour_n or_o so_o much_o as_o safety_n unless_o he_o make_v good_a these_o promise_n by_o future_a

of_o the_o land_n which_o they_o see_v unregarded_a and_o nullify_v by_o other_o be_v either_o to_o be_v revive_v and_o justice_n execute_v by_o he_o or_o not_o at_o all_o sure_a master_n martial_n though_o his_o majesty_n be_v a_o mighty_a prince_n yet_o i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v beyond_o his_o power_n to_o give_v we_o great_a security_n of_o make_v england_n the_o happy_a kingdom_n under_o

this_o duty_n of_o charity_n to_o your_o king_n who_o i_o be_o assure_v you_o can_v never_o accuse_v of_o ever_o make_v any_o promise_n with_o a_o resolution_n to_o break_v it_o or_o if_o you_o will_v

remember_v sir_n when_o the_o last_o fatal_a hour_n come_v if_o you_o have_v any_o sin_n lie_v on_o you_o not_o thorough_o mortify_v you_o must_v then_o promise_v unto_o almighty_a god_n amendment_n if_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o lengthen_v your_o day_n and_o woe_n unto_o you_o and_o more_o too_o if_o god_n do_v not_o believe_v we_o and_o take_v our_o word_n you_o must_v then_o say_v not_o

comfort_n of_o your_o soul_n will_v be_v that_o god_n will_v content_v himself_o with_o promise_n only_o in_o stead_n of_o performance_n notwithstanding_o a_o hundred_o promise_n you_o do_v make_v in_o your_o life_n time_n against_o sin_n and_o as_o many_o time_n you_o forget_v and_o neglect_v those_o promise_n do_v not_o therefore_o teach_v almighty_a god_n a_o evil_a lesson_n against_o yourself_o now_o beside_o this_o extreme_a and_o most_o unchristian_a uncharitableness_n and_o judge_v of_o your_o king_n so_o as_o you_o dare_v not_o for_o all_o the_o world_n adventure_n to_o be_v judge_v yourself_o you_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v accuse_v of_o most_o intolerable_a disobedience_n and_o disloyalty_n to_o his_o majesty_n you_o that_o be_v command_v to_o be_v subject_a out_o of_o

only_o deny_v obedience_n to_o a_o most_o righteous_a christian_a king_n but_o you_o have_v appear_v in_o the_o field_n among_o arm_a force_n against_o he_o and_o as_o it_o be_v affirm_v by_o

when_o that_o fearful_a day_n of_o edge-hill_n come_v you_o not_o only_o break_v that_o promise_n with_o they_o but_o encourage_v they_o especial_o to_o direct_v their_o shot_n towards_o that_o

into_o your_o bone_n if_o the_o shot_n which_o from_o other_o hand_n you_o aim_v against_o his_o person_n have_v not_o swerve_v i_o assure_v you_o that_o you_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o bless_v

pleasure_n for_o we_o to_o perish_v after_o so_o dismal_a a_o loss_n but_o for_o you_o to_o die_v with_o his_o blood_n upon_o your_o soul_n who_o be_v god_n anoint_v methinks_v the_o very_a thought_n of_o the_o possibility_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o banish_v from_o your_o heart_n all_o manner_n of_o peace_n and_o security_n as_o long_o as_o you_o live_v there_o be_v one_o
