as_o he_o set_v they_o up_o in_o hope_n that_o they_o may_v be_v serviceable_a to_o he_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o nation_n may_v pull_v they_o down_o again_o when_o he_o see_v they_o exceed_v

nation_n for_o whitlock_n in_o his_o memorial_n give_v you_o a_o account_n how_o that_o aftter_n the_o battle_n of_o worcester_n cromwell_n desire_v a_o meeting_n with_o several_a member_n of_o parliament_n and_o some_o chief_a officer_n of_o the_o army_n at_o the_o speaker_n house_n where_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o great_a many_o that_o meet_v he_o propose_v to_o they_o that_o since_o the_o old_a king_n be_v dead_a and_o his_o son_n defeat_v he_o hold_v it_o necessary_a to_o come_v to_o a_o settlement_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v desire_v that_o meeting_n to_o consider_v and_o advise_v what_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v whitlock_n offer_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o first_o place_n in_o what_o way_n such_o a_o

consider_v whether_o a_o republic_n or_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n will_v be_v best_a to_o be_v settle_v and_o if_o any_o thing_n monarchical_a then_o in_o who_o that_o power_n to_o be_v place_v sir_n thomas_n widdrington_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o a_o mix_v monarchical_a government_n be_v the_o most_o suitable_a to_o the_o law_n and_o people_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o if_o monarchical_a that_o it_o will_v be_v most_o just_a to_o place_v it_o in_o one_o of_o the_o son_n of_o the_o late_a king_n fleetwood_n think_v that_o the_o question_n whether_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n or_o a_o republic_n will_v not_o be_v very_o easy_o determine_v but_o st._n john_n the_o chief_a justice_n be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n with_o sir_n thomas_n widdrington_n and_o so_o be_v the_o speaker_n but_o they_o do_v not_o mention_v where_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o be_v place_v widdrington_n again_o propose_v the_o duke_n of_o gloucester_n and_o whitlock_n propound_v that_o a_o day_n may_v be_v fix_v for_o the_o king_n be_v elder_a son_n and_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n to_o come_v into_o the_o parliament_n that_o so_o upon_o such_o term_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a and_o agreeable_a both_o to_o the_o civil_a and_o spiritual_a liberty_n a_o settlement_n may_v be_v make_v with_o they_o cromwell_n reply_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o business_n of_o more_o than_o ordinary_a difficulty_n however_o he_o real_o think_v that_o if_o it_o can_v be_v do_v with_o safety_n to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o english_a right_n a_o settlement_n with_o something_o of_o monarchical_a power_n in_o it_o will_v be_v very_o effectual_a in_o short_a the_o soldiers_z be_v against_o any_o thing_n of_o monarchy_n as_o desborough_n and_o whalley_n who_o be_v present_a at_o the_o meeting_n but_o the_o lawyer_n be_v for_o a_o mix_a monarchy_n hence_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o rump_n in_o order_n to_o the_o set_n up_o a_o government_n with_o a_o mixture_n of_o monarchy_n in_o it_o have_v a_o true_a and_o more_o noble_a aim_n as_o be_v more_o conformable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n than_o the_o continuance_n of_o a_o republic_n the_o point_n be_v not_o here_o whether_o cromwell_n do_v ill_a in_o set_v up_o himself_o but_o whether_o he_o do_v amiss_o in_o set_v up_o himself_o above_o the_o republican_n rump_n and_o for_o that_o he_o have_v of_o his_o side_n the_o opinion_n of_o the_o great_a and_o most_o learned_a lawyer_n of_o that_o time_n and_o whitlock_n testify_v that_o st._n john_n the_o then_o chief_a justice_n with_o many_o other_o advise_v he_o to_o dissolve_v the_o rump_n so_o that_o ludlow_n outcry_n of_o villainous_a wicked_a and_o perfidious_a be_v false_a and_o scandalous_a as_o be_v ground_v upon_o ignorance_n passion_n and_o partiality_n he_o can_v not_o be_v tax_v with_o wickedness_n or_o villainy_n because_o he_o pursue_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o nation_n at_o least_o much_o close_a than_o they_o who_o have_v design_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o national_a government_n nor_o can_v he_o be_v charge_v with_o perfidiousness_n because_o he_o never_o promise_v to_o perpetuate_v their_o session_n but_o have_v often_o desire_v they_o to_o dissolve_v themselves_o which_o they_o foreslow_v by_o a_o thousand_o cunning_a delay_n he_o take_v the_o liberty_n to_o dismiss_v they_o by_o force_n but_o how_o high_o soever_o ludlow_n be_v offend_v with_o the_o dissolution_n of_o his_o republican_n brethren_n many_o other_o be_v not_o of_o his_o opinion_n for_o whitlock_n tell_v you_o that_o their_o

and_o that_o several_a acknowledgement_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o that_o action_n be_v send_v up_o to_o cromwell_n and_o his_o council_n of_o officer_n not_o only_o from_o several_a party_n of_o
