his_o majesty_n and_o be_v the_o author_n of_o these_o tumult_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n but_o this_o declaration_n of_o they_o except_o such_o crime_n can_v be_v prove_v against_o they_o be_v of_o ho_o validity_n the_o parliament_n will_v do_v nothing_o unjust_o nor_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a and_o certain_o innocent_a man_n need_v not_o fear_v to_o appear_v before_o any_o judge_n

in_o these_o war_n i_o have_v suffer_v as_o much_o as_o any_o my_o house_n have_v be_v search_v my_o arm_n take_v thence_o and_o my_o son_n and_o heir_n commit_v to_o prison_n yet_o i_o shall_v wave_v

the_o king_n study_v to_o reconcile_v all_o these_o difference_n between_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o parliament_n and_o so_o to_o reconcile_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v no_o way_n prejudice_v his_o royal_a prerogative_n of_o which_o i_o believe_v the_o parliament_n be_v a_o loyal_a defendor_n know_v the_o subject_n property_n dependent_a on_o it_o for_o where_o sovereign_n can_v enjoy_v their_o right_n their_o subject_n can_v will_v never_o endeavour_v to_o be_v a_o infringer_n so_o that_o if_o doubt_n and_o jealousy_n be_v take_v away_o by_o a_o fair_a treaty_n between_o his_o
