what_o be_v write_v by_o mr._n william_n sedgwick_n in_o his_o book_n call_v justice_n upon_o the_o army_n remonstrance_n wherein_o be_v many_o passage_n which_o will_v we_o have_v hearken_v unto_o as_o come_v from_o a_o intimate_a friend_n may_v have_v prevent_v those_o woeful_a confusion_n and_o revolution_n of_o government_n that_o have_v since_o befall_v the_o nation_n and_o that_o reproach_n that_o be_v come_v upon_o religion_n but_o he_o as_o soon_o fall_v from_o those_o serious_a conviction_n he_o tender_v to_o our_o party_n and_o by_o his_o book_n call_v a_o new_a view_n of_o the_o army_n remonstrance_n which_o he_o make_v to_o issue_v out_o after_o the_o other_o unsaith_o what_o in_o his_o book_n aforesaid_a he_o have_v present_v in_o many_o passage_n thereof_o i_o wish_v from_o my_o soul_n that_o we_o have_v hearken_v to_o those_o many_o christian_a counsel_n that_o be_v give_v we_o in_o those_o day_n and_o that_o although_o we_o can_v not_o through_o prejudice_n receive_v they_o from_o the_o party_n abovenamed_a yet_o that_o we_o may_v have_v consider_v what_o our_o friend_n in_o justice_n upon_o the_o army_n remonstrance_n say_v unto_o we_o but_o though_o it_o be_v too_o late_o in_o reference_n to_o what_o be_v past_a yet_o that_o we_o may_v not_o through_o the_o high_a opinion_n that_o we_o have_v of_o our_o own_o way_n as_o to_o the_o piety_n and_o justice_n of_o they_o that_o all_o other_o have_v be_v injurious_a to_o we_o and_o we_o be_v the_o only_a innocent_n of_o this_o island_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o be_v the_o great_a impediment_n to_o that_o moderation_n and_o christian_a condescension_n which_o i_o desire_v may_v be_v among_o we_o that_o we_o may_v no_o long_o i_o say_v persist_v in_o the_o justification_n of_o our_o self_n for_o what_o be_v past_a and_o desist_v from_o any_o further_a endeavour_n of_o interrupt_v the_o public_a peace_n and_o settlement_n of_o these_o nation_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o those_o corrupt_a and_o destructive_a principle_n to_o all_o civil_a government_n which_o many_o of_o we_o be_v infect_v with_o that_o we_o may_v not_o too_o much_o deject_v ourselves_o at_o these_o our_o present_a disappointment_n as_o if_o now_o a_o knife_n be_v put_v to_o the_o throat_n of_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o some_o have_v speak_v in_o plain_a english_a i_o shall_v present_v you_o with_o some_o remarkable_a passage_n in_o our_o aforesaid_a author_n justice_n upon_o the_o army_n remonstrance_n which_o may_v be_v of_o singular_a use_n to_o we_o for_o those_o end_n and_o purpose_n aforesaid_a consider_v they_o come_v from_o one_o who_o be_v neither_o of_o the_o episcopal_a or_o presbyterian_a party_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o what_o i_o name_v last_o in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o be_v that_o which_o i_o find_v do_v most_o perplex_v our_o spirit_n that_o now_o by_o the_o current_n of_o the_o time_n the_o public_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o which_o we_o have_v so_o long_o contend_v in_o our_o late_a war_n against_o the_o king_n and_o his_o family_n be_v like_a to_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o our_o government_n by_o a_o commonwealth_n to_o return_v to_o king-ship_n again_o in_o the_o same_o family_n now_o to_o undeceive_v we_o and_o deliver_v we_o from_o this_o fundamental_a error_n consider_v what_o mr._n sedgwick_n say_v in_o his_o justice_n upon_o the_o army_n remonstrance_n p._n 22._o say_v he_o in_o the_o propose_v of_o such_o a_o interest_n as_o you_o

law_n yea_o to_o protect_v and_o defend_v the_o king_n person_n etc._n etc._n for_o say_v he_o p._n 9_o that_o which_o you_o offer_v be_v not_o the_o public_a interest_n but_o your_o own_o particular_a interest_n it_o be_v very_o clear_a that_o this_o be_v not_o half_a the_o interest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v much_o too_o narrow_a for_o a_o rich_a honourable_a nation_n general_o you_o know_v the_o people_n of_o england_n desire_v peace_n settle_a religion_n establish_v truth_n freedom_n of_o trade_n and_o this_o with_o his_o majesty_n their_o king_n that_o he_o may_v govern_v they_o according_a to_o their_o honest_a and_o know_v law_n that_o they_o may_v live_v in_o prosperity_n and_o honour_n for_o your_o devise_a thing_n you_o propose_v the_o people_n know_v they_o not_o and_o less_o affect_v than_o know_v they_o they_o be_v invent_v only_o to_o please_v and_o secure_v yourselves_o and_o to_o pull_v down_o monarchy_n you_o be_v but_o a_o part_n and_o alas_o a_o inconsiderable_a part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n not_o one_o of_o a_o hundred_o will_v own_v what_o you_o set_v down_o for_o the_o public_a interest_n a_o disease_a part_n you_o be_v a_o bone_n start_v out_o of_o his_o place_n a_o piece_n of_o timber_n go_v from_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o be_v large_a and_o consist_v of_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o with_o innumerable_a

which_o be_v a_o wicked_a thing_n to_o divide_v they_o which_o god_n have_v join_v wherein_o you_o indeed_o destroy_v and_o mangle_v not_o only_o the_o kingdom_n but_o the_o word_n interest_n which_o be_v of_o a_o unite_n signification_n interest_n be_v to_o be_v in_o or_o among_o each_o other_o the_o public_a have_v his_o interest_n in_o the_o king_n and_o the_o king_n his_o interest_n in_o the_o

though_o say_v he_o you_o will_v disjoin_v yourselves_o from_o king_n god_n will_v not_o who_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n neither_o will_v i._o and_o therefore_o as_o he_o acknowledge_v p._n 44._o it_o be_v the_o people_n right_a to_o have_v a_o king_n so_o of_o himself_o he_o say_v i_o confess_v it_o be_v my_o birthright_n to_o have_v relation_n to_o a_o king_n and_o if_o i_o be_o deny_v it_o i_o be_o deny_v my_o native_a right_n and_o say_v he_o in_o the_o same_o page_n for_o the_o king_n against_o who_o you_o go_v in_o full_a cry_n i_o have_v this_o to_o say_v to_o check_v your_o violent_a course_n that_o he_o have_v and_o have_v a_o true_a lawful_a right_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o as_o good_a as_o any_o man_n have_v to_o any_o thing_n he_o

these_o quotation_n do_v sufficient_o evidence_n how_o much_o we_o have_v be_v mistake_v and_o that_o the_o public_a interest_n have_v not_o be_v drive_v on_o whatever_o have_v be_v pretend_v but_o because_o i_o find_v that_o many_o of_o we_o be_v dull_a and_o slow_a of_o heart_n to_o believe_v it_o out_o of_o my_o unfeigned_a desire_n that_o you_o may_v lie_v under_o the_o same_o conviction_n i_o now_o do_v myself_o as_o to_o this_o particular_a i_o shall_v present_v you_o with_o a_o passage_n out_o of_o the_o say_a author_n which_o speak_v very_o plain_a english_a say_v he_o pag._n 23._o i_o must_v deal_v plain_o with_o you_o and_o myself_o too_o it_o be_v so_o gross_a that_o it_o can_v be_v conceal_v that_o we_o have_v design_n of_o particular_a interest_n and_o advantage_n when_o we_o begin_v the_o war_n therefore_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n have_v be_v but_o a_o pretence_n there_o be_v this_o in_o our_o mind_n and_o have_v be_v in_o our_o mind_n continual_o that_o the_o king_n and_o his_o party_n be_v wicked_a man_n and_o not_o worthy_a and_o fit_a for_o their_o place_n and_o power_n they_o have_v and_o that_o we_o be_v the_o saint_n the_o godly_a and_o they_o do_v proper_o belong_v to_o we_o that_o the_o saint_n be_v to_o have_v the_o high_a place_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o now_o be_v the_o time_n for_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v perform_v and_o that_o no_o body_n be_v now_o fit_a to_o administer_v justice_n to_o rule_v over_o man_n but_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v always_o glad_a of_o any_o of_o the_o king_n way_n that_o tend_v to_o difference_n and_o breach_n glad_a when_o he_o leave_v his_o
parliament_n and_o take_v arm_n think_v he_o be_v run_v to_o his_o own_o destruction_n that_o he_o will_v split_v himself_o and_o his_o party_n by_o it_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o spoil_n of_o they_o and_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o obtain_v our_o end_n and_o though_o we_o complain_v of_o the_o king_n obstinacy_n real_o we_o have_v be_v always_o glad_a of_o it_o because_o that_o it_o lead_v to_o his_o destruction_n and_o the_o king_n not_o yield_v at_o this_o time_n you_o know_v be_v thirst_v after_o by_o we_o mean_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o treaty_n in_o the_o isle_n of_o wight_n and_o you_o will_v not_o stir_v by_o force_n to_o seclude_v the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o member_n out_o of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o so_o to_o interrupt_v the_o treaty_n till_o the_o king_n manifest_v a_o willing_a mind_n to_o accommodation_n peace_n be_v always_o hold_v destructive_a to_o our_o end_n or_o the_o recovery_n of_o our_o right_n the_o whole_a kingdom_n for_o we_o think_v ourselves_o the_o only_a true_a lord_n unless_o the_o king_n will_v take_v part_n with_o we_o and_o become_v one_o of_o our_o saint_n and_o that_o this_o be_v all_o the_o change_n of_o heart_n be_v expect_v appear_v by_o another_o passage_n of_o our_o author_n aforesaid_a that_o speak_v to_o purpose_n indeed_o pag._n 27._o you_o say_v the_o king_n heart_n be_v not_o change_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v you_o expect_v that_o he_o shall_v turn_v not_o to_o god_n but_o to_o your_o self_n to_o your_o own_o form_n of_o religion_n and_o government_n and_o can_v account_v any_o

with_o much_o confidence_n affirm_v that_o the_o cause_n which_o of_o late_a year_n have_v be_v plead_v for_o since_o the_o interruption_n of_o the_o treaty_n be_v for_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n that_o the_o liberty_n of_o all_o god_n people_n be_v embark_v therein_o especial_o consider_v who_o make_v this_o discovery_n of_o these_o private_a ungodly_a design_n which_o have_v from_o the_o beginning_n be_v drive_v on_o by_o many_o that_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o the_o only_a saint_n one_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o neither_o of_o the_o episcopal_a or_o

the_o time_n to_o come_v incline_v we_o to_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o settlement_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o free_v we_o from_o those_o corrupt_a and_o destructive_a principle_n to_o all_o civil_a government_n with_o which_o many_o of_o we_o i_o fear_v by_o what_o i_o have_v observe_v be_v leaven_v and_o corrupt_v and_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o shall_v from_o all_o these_o before_o recite_v collection_n lay_v before_o you_o these_o undeniable_a conclusion_n flow_v from_o the_o premise_n aforesaid_a 1._o the_o first_o conclusion_n then_o that_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o observe_v with_o i_o from_o the_o collection_n aforesaid_a be_v this_o that_o the_o good_a old_a cause_n in_o which_o we_o first_o engage_v with_o the_o parliament_n be_v to_o preserve_v and_o not_o to_o subvert_v the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o government_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o protect_v and_o defend_v the_o king_n person_n and_o family_n and_o not_o to_o ruin_v and_o destroy_v the_o same_o 2._o that_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n consist_v in_o be_v govern_v by_o their_o king_n according_a to_o their_o know_a law_n and_o that_o this_o be_v their_o birthright_n 3._o that_o the_o crown-revenue_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o king_n be_v as_o righteous_o his_o birthright_n as_o any_o other_o man_n house_n or_o land_n be_v he_o 4._o that_o to_o divide_v between_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o public_a and_o the_o king_n term_v it_o only_o the_o interest_n of_o charles_n stuart_n as_o we_o have_v do_v of_o late_a year_n be_v a_o very_a wicked_a and_o ungodly_a thing_n 5._o that_o to_o change_v the_o government_n into_o a_o commonwealth_n be_v to_o pervert_v that_o righteous_a cause_n in_o which_o we_o first_o engage_v and_o be_v a_o invention_n to_o secure_v a_o guilty_a party_n and_o altogether_o against_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n 6._o that_o the_o real_a or_o suppose_a wickedness_n of_o a_o prince_n or_o people_n be_v no_o scripture_n ground_n for_o those_o who_o be_v or_o do_v profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v more_o holy_a to_o usurp_v dominion_n over_o they_o and_o to_o get_v the_o government_n of_o the_o nation_n into_o their_o own_o

the_o parliament_n our_o several_a oath_n and_o obligation_n and_o by_o the_o protestation_n which_o be_v so_o general_o take_v by_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o many_o other_o way_n

thus_o desperate_o to_o the_o ruin_n both_o of_o prince_n and_o people_n because_o as_o mr._n sedgwick_n say_v there_o be_v this_o in_o our_o mind_n that_o the_o king_n and_o his_o party_n be_v
