a_o new_a plea_n for_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o reserve_v man_n resolve_v from_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o state_n of_o controversy_n between_o the_o king_n and_o the_o

hereabout_o by_o a_o well-willer_n to_o king_n and_o parliament_n as_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n argue_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o head_n so_o do_v knowledge_n without_o zeal_n the_o rottenness_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o lightness_n of_o the_o head_n and_o the_o unfoundnesse_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o two_o epidemical_a disease_n of_o this_o kingdom_n ignorance_n and_o hypocrisy_n as_o they_o be_v the_o great_a enemy_n to_o truth_n and_o piety_n so_o be_v they_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o the_o kingdom_n misery_n all_o man_n will_v sceme_v to_o be_v what_o few_o man_n be_v in_o
