difference_n between_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n by_o throw_v in_o some_o little_a matter_n with_o a_o ball_n of_o contention_n at_o the_o end_n on_o it_o purposely_o to_o hinder_v the_o prosecution_n of_o what_o shall_v tend_v to_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o public_a weal_n and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o such_o design_n be_v like_o those_o of_o 1641._o since_o because_o the_o bishop_n will_v not_o herd_n with_o common-wealth-mens_n interest_n yet_o my_o lord_n i_o do_v believe_v the_o bishop_n be_v as_o prudent_a man_n and_o can_v as_o well_o tell_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o oath_n together_o with_o the_o design_n as_o well_o as_o the_o consequence_n thereof_o as_o any_o statesman_n i_o know_v of_o in_o the_o kingdom_n let_v they_o pretend_v to_o what_o they_o will_v and_o beside_o i_o be_o sure_a their_o interest_n be_v so_o interweave_v in_o the_o monarchy_n of_o england_n that_o neither_o popery_n nor_o any_o other_o interest_n beside_o that_o of_o their_o own_o church_n as_o establish_v by_o law_n can_v any_o way_n preserve_v they_o unless_o they_o will_v all_o as_o one_o man_n fall_v down_o and_o worship_n the_o great_a image_n and_o be_v all_o thing_n to_o all_o man_n that_o they_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o get_v something_o as_o many_o my_o lord_n pretend_v famous_a statesman_n have_v do_v in_o the_o several_a change_n of_o government_n in_o these_o kingdom_n but_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v of_o they_o since_o they_o will_v not_o or_o do_v ever_o join_v with_o any_o such_o interest_n as_o oppose_a church_n or_o state_n and_o thus_o how_o do_v both_o city_n and_o country_n club_n and_o coffeehouse_n ring_v that_o the_o bishop_n be_v the_o only_a opposer_n of_o the_o true_a interest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o great_a occasion_n why_o justice_n can_v not_o be_v do_v on_o capital_a and_o notorious_a offender_n this_o my_o lord_n be_v a_o true_a spice_n of_o old_a 1641._o and_o your_o lordship_n can_v but_o observe_v that_o it_o have_v bring_v the_o bishop_n into_o suspicion_n with_o the_o vulgar_a sort_n that_o they_o be_v drive_v on_o the_o popish_a design_n and_o that_o there_o be_v not_o above_o two_o protestant_a bishop_n among_o they_o all_o as_o they_o give_v out_o well_o but_o this_o will_v not_o do_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o long_o since_o laud_n be_v murder_v and_o strafford_n people_n sufficient_o smart_v under_o covenant_a reformer_n and_o army-saint_n and_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o play_v the_o same_o game_n over_o again_o the_o same_o way_n and_o this_o the_o design_v man_n see_v and_o so_o be_v say_v to_o have_v other_o artifices_fw-la to_o rend_v the_o government_n in_o piece_n and_o reduce_v it_o to_o its_o former_a chaos_n or_o design_v commonwealth_n so_o that_o if_o neither_o disquiet_v or_o divide_v parliament_n nor_o secret_a combine_a club_n against_o great_a minister_n of_o state_n nor_o a_o seem_a weariness_n of_o the_o monarchy_n of_o

in_o 1641._o why_o true_o then_o come_v forth_o a_o plot_n full_a of_o treason_n and_o popery_n then_o forsooth_o the_o d._n must_v needs_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o damnable_a plot_n and_o the_o discoverer_n who_o no_o doubt_n have_v be_v bless_a instrument_n to_o save_v we_o at_o this_o time_n from_o the_o paw_n of_o antichrist_n must_v be_v revere_v as_o demigod_n among_o the_o

now_o in_o the_o name_n of_o machiavelli_n where_o be_v we_o go_v next_o oh_o cry_v the_o first_o and_o deep_a among_o the_o designer_n let_v we_o but_o keep_v off_o the_o king_n from_o parliament_n

that_o see_v less_o and_o i_o protest_v my_o lord_n that_o after_o have_v read_v over_o abundance_n of_o such_o ware_n as_o little_a andrew_n marvel_n unhoopable_a wit_n and_o polity_n and_o the_o

not_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o need_n of_o such_o book_n or_o any_o such_o jealousy_n for_o in_o god_n name_n what_o can_v preserve_v we_o but_o be_v zealous_a for_o our_o religion_n and_o

to_o maintain_v and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v see_v any_o invasion_n of_o liberty_n &_o property_n as_o they_o term_v it_o i_o see_v indeed_o a_o sort_n of_o man_n will_v be_v always_o restless_a
