of_o like_a horrid_a nature_n which_o be_v no_o less_o busy_o whisper_v through_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o with_o as_o great_a a_o assurance_n of_o truth_n as_o these_o your_o lordship_n here_o

for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o know_v it_o can_v never_o be_v answer_v either_o to_o god_n or_o man_n that_o a_o king_n shall_v be_v thus_o scandalous_o defame_a upon_o no_o sufficient_a motive_n even_o of_o credibility_n much_o less_o that_o the_o justice_n of_o a_o war_n against_o he_o shall_v be_v ground_v on_o the_o pretence_n of_o a_o common_a fame_n than_o which_o nothing_o be_v more_o false_a

notwithstanding_o which_o his_o restore_a parliament_n be_v say_v in_o the_o title_n to_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o twelve_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n but_o this_o reflection_n be_v force_v and_o

of_o anarchy_n 22._o page_n 22._o if_o these_o do_v not_o act_n according_a to_o their_o commission_n in_o their_o several_a station_n the_o fault_n be_v not_o the_o king_n be_v but_o they_o who_o so_o far_o overawe_v they_o that_o they_o dare_v not_o beside_o we_o must_v not_o lay_v too_o much_o stress_n upon_o this_o lest_o we_o find_v a_o uparallelled_a neglect_n in_o the_o first_o

that_o power_n they_o have_v receive_v from_o the_o king_n by_o a_o encourage_v proclamation_n so_o that_o in_o whatever_o anarchy_n the_o king_n leave_v we_o the_o prince_n continue_v we_o but_o i_o
