rather_o esteem_v the_o great_a bulwark_n of_o the_o people_n freedom_n which_o neither_o king_n nor_o parliament_n can_v alter_v and_o therefore_o upon_o this_o new_a conquest_n over_o monarchy_n we_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v the_o victory_n to_o see_v such_o fundamental_a constitution_n settle_v as_o be_v consonant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o principle_n of_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n and_o that_o just_a freedom_n both_o as_o to_o the_o inward_a and_o outward_a man_n which_o belong_v to_o every_o man_n as_o a_o member_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o god_n the_o great_a work_n that_o god_n have_v be_v do_v among_o we_o and_o will_v carry_v on_o and_o bring_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o to_o see_v the_o same_o so_o fortify_v and_o secure_v with_o provision_n against_o all_o kind_n of_o violation_n that_o the_o people_n may_v be_v no_o more_o put_v to_o make_v a_o new_a purchase_n of_o it_o scotl._n though_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o a_o settlement_n that_o may_v have_v much_o good_a in_o it_o i_o can_v see_v how_o you_o can_v secure_v it_o the_o next_o parliament_n will_v claim_v a_o absolute_a power_n and_o will_v go_v near_o to_o alter_v it_o if_o it_o be_v but_o even_o to_o show_v their_o authority_n engl._n if_o such_o a_o spirit_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o parliament_n as_o to_o alter_v good_a thing_n settle_v how_o much_o further_o off_o will_v they_o be_v to_o lay_v such_o a_o foundation_n and_o therefore_o such_o expedient_n must_v be_v use_v as_o will_v prevent_v that_o mischief_n and_o yet_o leave_v the_o parliament_n free_a which_o must_v be_v provide_v for_o in_o the_o form_n of_o government_n scotl._n i_o pray_v what_o government_n do_v you_o intend_v to_o set_v up_o and_o see_v you_o claim_v the_o right_n of_o form_v a_o government_n what_o must_v other_o expect_v from_o you_o engl._n we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o army_n only_o do_v not_o claim_v any_o such_o right_a but_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o body_n of_o the_o good_a people_n adhearent_n to_o this_o cause_n in_o all_o the_o several_a nation_n who_o continue_v still_o faithful_a thereunto_o whereof_o we_o be_v a_o part_n and_o in_o our_o brethren_n stead_n leave_v to_o defend_v both_o they_o and_o ourselves_o in_o prosecution_n of_o the_o work_n till_o it_o be_v finish_v do_v make_v this_o claim_n not_o that_o we_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o government_n in_o our_o hand_n not_o that_o we_o desire_v the_o sword_n shall_v rule_v not_o that_o we_o desire_v to_o abridge_v any_o other_o man_n of_o his_o liberty_n or_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o slave_n much_o less_o a_o subject_n to_o we_o but_o we_o be_v call_v together_o in_o defence_n of_o those_o just_a right_n in_o common_a which_o belong_v to_o we_o and_o every_o man_n in_o particular_a and_o have_v obtain_v success_n to_o our_o just_a cause_n we_o can_v we_o dare_v not_o lest_o not_o only_o the_o ruin_n of_o ourselves_o but_o also_o of_o our_o posterity_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o the_o whole_a nation_n who_o god_n have_v give_v it_o into_o our_o power_n to_o preserve_v as_o well_o as_o ourselves_o shall_v be_v lay_v to_o our_o charge_n part_v a_o sunder_o nor_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v divide_v till_o our_o liberty_n and_o the_o liberty_n of_o all_o man_n be_v secure_v scotl._n but_o still_o you_o will_v be_v judge_n yourselves_o engl_n our_o own_o innocency_n and_o integrity_n be_v that_o which_o justify_v we_o in_o the_o fight_n of_o god_n from_o who_o we_o have_v our_o strength_n who_o have_v judge_v for_o we_o and_o it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a that_o we_o shall_v stand_v at_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o our_o enemy_n nor_o of_o those_o who_o have_v not_o know_v our_o cause_n nor_o put_v their_o hand_n to_o carry_v it_o on_o have_v all_o the_o people_n of_o england_n with_o one_o consent_n take_v part_n with_o we_o there_o have_v be_v no_o such_o difference_n as_o to_o person_n or_o interest_n but_o you_o know_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v against_o we_o and_o if_o they_o may_v be_v judge_n you_o as_o well_o as_o we_o understand_v what_o will_v be_v the_o issue_n though_o in_o our_o principle_n their_o liberty_n as_o well_o as_o our_o own_o will_v be_v secure_v scotl._n i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o what_o those_o principle_n be_v engl._n i_o may_v say_v in_o short_a all_o our_o principle_n be_v sum_v up_o in_o one_o found_v upon_o that_o just_a and_o righteous_a rule_n wherein_o be_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o the_o prophet_n as_o you_o will_v have_v man_n do_v unto_o you_o even_o so_o do_v you_o unto_o they_o which_o include_v in_o it_o the_o perfect_a freedom_n of_o conscience_n of_o person_n and_o of_o estate_n and_o which_o we_o only_o wait_v and_o long_o to_o see_v establish_v scotl._n if_o that_o be_v your_o principle_n i_o hope_v we_o shall_v never_o differ_v for_o we_o do_v with_o as_o much_o earnestness_n as_o yourselves_o long_o to_o see_v such_o a_o government_n and_o law_n settle_v as_o stand_v upon_o that_o foundation_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v confess_v that_o the_o late_a assembly_n be_v no_o parliament_n but_o that_o their_o authority_n be_v perfecty_n determine_v that_o you_o have_v good_a reason_n and_o right_o to_o end_v their_o sit_v and_o aught_o to_o proceed_v to_o pursue_v the_o end_n of_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o just_a liberty_n it_o will_v not_o at_o all_o prejudice_n the_o right_n of_o the_o people_n and_o i_o believe_v that_o general_o the_o people_n will_v be_v as_o little_o satisfy_v as_o yourselves_o to_o have_v that_o assembly_n rule_v over_o they_o but_o yet_o these_o thing_n seem_v strange_a and_o contrary_a to_o our_o ancient_a law_n and_o government_n and_o now_o we_o know_v not_o where_o nor_o how_o to_o come_v to_o a_o settlement_n engl._n if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o parliament_n and_o their_o proceed_n or_o on_o the_o army_n and_o they_o you_o will_v find_v that_o in_o our_o whole_a course_n there_o be_v seldom_o any_o such_o agreement_n which_o the_o rule_n of_o former_a law_n and_o constitution_n of_o government_n that_o the_o action_n of_o either_o can_v be_v clear_o and_o full_o justify_v thereby_o any_o long_a than_o the_o law_n of_o success_n and_o conquest_n do_v uphold_v they_o and_o the_o inward_a warrant_n of_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n do_v encourage_v they_o in_o such_o their_o act_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o those_o law_n that_o be_v make_v for_o the_o support_n of_o our_o former_a government_n be_v as_o contrary_a to_o principle_n of_o just_a freedom_n as_o the_o governor_n or_o government_n itself_o scotl._n but_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o thence_o infer_v that_o therefore_o you_o may_v break_v and_o make_v void_a all_o other_o our_o good_a law_n at_o your_o pleasure_n engl._n all_o law_n that_o be_v just_a and_o equal_a will_v be_v find_v to_o spring_v from_o the_o root_n of_o all_o power_n the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o law_n that_o be_v just_a and_o as_o they_o be_v consonant_a thereunto_o they_o will_v agree_v with_o that_o principle_n which_o we_o own_o and_o hold_v forth_o and_o desire_v to_o be_v find_v in_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v sorry_a if_o any_o shall_v accuse_v we_o of_o the_o violation_n of_o any_o such_o law_n we_o hope_v they_o can_v scotl._n true_o for_o our_o part_n many_o of_o we_o we_o can_v say_v it_o we_o will_v not_o fight_v in_o a_o personal_a quarrel_n not_o for_o the_o best_a of_o person_n neither_o for_o member_n of_o a_o parliament_n nor_o for_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n but_o for_o the_o good_a cause_n of_o justice_n freedom_n and_o righteousness_n in_o which_o we_o have_v be_v engage_v that_o only_o will_v god_n bless_v who_o respect_v no_o man_n person_n that_o work_v only_o will_v he_o carry_v on_o and_o therein_o i_o be_o convince_v by_o your_o

be_v glad_a of_o this_o happy_a meeting_n and_o shall_v change_v my_o purpose_n of_o go_v any_o further_a southward_n and_o shall_v return_v immediate_o to_o my_o brethren_n in_o scotland_n who_o i_o

in_o a_o few_o day_n if_o you_o will_v promise_v to_o meet_v i_o i_o hope_v to_o return_v and_o have_v a_o better_a opportunity_n till_o then_o i_o bid_v you_o farewell_o and_o so_o shake_a hand_n
