a_o order_n of_o the_o house_n direct_v it_o as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n by_o this_o than_o you_o see_v they_o be_v neither_o popish_o nor_o beggarly_a nor_o can_v have_v any_o reward_n or_o hope_n of_o repair_n out_o of_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o adverse_a party_n but_o they_o will_v induce_v arbitrary_a government_n i_o pray_v what_o proof_n be_v there_o of_o that_o what_o one_o act_n have_v

the_o high-commission_n and_o martial_a court_n nay_o have_v he_o not_o leave_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v try_v by_o strict_a proceed_n of_o law_n who_o can_v arbitrary_a justice_n more_o prejudice_n than_o those_o now_o about_o and_o with_o the_o king_n the_o rich_a and_o wealthy_a man_n sure_o than_o they_o will_v not_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o induce_v that_o law_n that_o shall_v undo_v and_o

not_o against_o the_o king_n that_o be_v treason_n and_o breach_n of_o our_o late_a protestation_n which_o be_v to_o defend_v his_o majesty_n yet_o be_v the_o king_n person_n in_o danger_n at_o

of_o battle_n upon_o these_o consideration_n sir_n i_o can_v believe_v or_o fear_v the_o reducement_n of_o popery_n or_o arbitrary_a justice_n nor_o think_v my_o conscience_n person_n or_o estate_n tie_v by_o the_o necessitous_a ordinance_n of_o both_o house_n for_o want_n of_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o pay_v or_o let_v the_o twenty_o part_n of_o my_o estate_n which_o you_o know_v may_v

while_o god_n promise_v the_o sceptre_n to_o juda_n he_o put_v the_o lawgiver_n between_o his_o foot_n to_o let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o legislative_a power_n be_v neither_o above_o or_o without_o the_o king_n and_o i_o know_v the_o king_n by_o his_o writ_n do_v call_v they_o to_o advise_v with_o he_o not_o to_o resolve_v without_o he_o i_o will_v therefore_o keep_v my_o hand_n from_o give_v and_o so_o preserve_v my_o conscience_n i_o will_v fast_v bolt_v my_o door_n and_o so_o preserve_v my_o person_n and_o estate_n until_o a_o strong_a than_o i_o come_v for_o i_o have_v rather_o other_o commit_a trespass_n in_o take_v than_o i_o treason_n in_o give_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o both_o army_n be_v not_o on_o the_o right_a side_n but_o one_o with_o all_o their_o voluntary_a

particular_a believe_v and_o follow_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o obey_v the_o king_n for_o he_o be_v set_v over_o we_o by_o god_n rather_o than_o run_v with_o the_o new_a opinion_n and_o
