the_o voice_n of_o conscience_n to_o all_o well_o mean_v citizen_n if_o you_o desire_v to_o see_v a_o long_a and_o more_o bloody_a war_n and_o london_n as_o the_o chief_a seat_n thereof_o welter_v in_o its_o own_o blood_n your_o wife_n child_n and_o family_n starve_a and_o pine_v to_o death_n through_o poverty_n famine_n and_o want_v of_o trade_n if_o you_o will_v overthrow_v parliament_n for_o ever_o and_o subject_a both_o they_o and_o all_o the_o people_n to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o courtier_n if_o you_o desire_v to_o sâe_n foreigner_n invade_v you_o on_o all_o hand_n and_o many_o army_n at_o once_o quarter_v throughout_o the_o land_n pull_v hard_o for_o a_o new_a conquest_n of_o this_o miserable_o divide_v nation_n and_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o see_v your_o wife_n and_o daughter_n ravish_v before_o your_o face_n and_o your_o child_n brain_n dashâ_z against_o the_o stone_n by_o lustful_a and_o bloodthirsty_a cavalier_n follow_v then_o the_o step_n and_o advice_n of_o your_o wealthy_a headstrong_a alderman_n and_o common-councelman_n in_o their_o hasty_a puâsuance_n of_o a_o personal_a treaty_n with_o the_o king_n or_o which_o will_v come_v to_o one_o in_o âââââ¦ving_v he_o out_o of_o the_o army_n power_n for_o if_o you_o do_v flatter_v not_o yourselves_o but_o be_v assure_v as_o certain_a âs_n god_n be_v in_o heaven_n you_o will_v see_v those_o misery_n come_v to_o pass_v and_o that_o swift_o too_o you_o will_v be_v ãâã_d in_o a_o instant_n without_o hope_n of_o remedy_n but_o if_o you_o abhor_v and_o will_v prevent_v these_o mischief_n then_o avoid_v and_o detest_v their_o engagement_n from_o it_o be_v from_o a_o serpent_n it_o be_v a_o viper_n breed_v in_o your_o own_o bowel_n to_o destroy_v you_o and_o if_o you_o have_v unadvised_o subscribe_v it_o repent_v speedy_o and_o recall_v your_o hand_n they_o most_o grââ¦tly_o delude_v you_o and_o abuse_v the_o parliament_n in_o pretend_v they_o be_v able_a nay_o willing_a to_o prevent_v or_o suppress_v tumult_n trust_v they_o once_o and_o they_o will_v never_o need_v to_o desire_v more_o they_o will_v soon_o make_v it_o past_o a_o treaty_n and_o when_o you_o lie_v at_o their_o mercy_n complain_v of_o the_o breach_n of_o their_o engagement_n they_o will_v deride_v and_o spurn_v you_o and_o you_o shall_v not_o dare_v to_o open_v your_o mouth_n against_o they_o but_o if_o you_o do_v it_o shall_v be_v your_o death_n night_n nor_o day_n you_o shall_v not_o with_o safety_n go_v out_o of_o door_n but_o stâbbings_n and_o pistoll_n will_v be_v common_a at_o noon_n day_n oâ_z therefore_o all_o you_o that_o honour_n god_n see_v this_o exceed_a danger_n before_o it_o be_v too_o late_a have_v patience_n wait_v upon_o god_n in_o his_o way_n run_v not_o to_o egypt_n for_o help_v lean_v not_o on_o so_o break_v a_o reed_n consider_v how_o this_o city_n have_v be_v threaten_v and_o by_o who_o how_o often_o plot_n have_v be_v cover_v under_o treaty_n destroy_v not_o all_o your_o mercy_n through_o impatience_n forsake_v not_o a_o just_a god_n who_o hitherto_o have_v preserve_v you_o for_o any_o unjust_a man_n that_o have_v long_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o destroy_v and_o enslave_v you_o leap_v not_o out_o of_o the_o pan_n into_o the_o fire_n wait_v but_o a_o little_a while_n and_o you_o will_v see_v both_o city_n and_o nation_n flourish_v distrust_v not_o he_o that_o believe_v make_v not_o haste_n fear_v not_o and_o you_o will_v soon_o see_v the_o salvation_n that_o god_n be_v prepare_v for_o you_o by_o just_a mean_n this_o way_n which_o now_o you_o be_v put_v upon_o be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a that_o can_v be_v and_o such_o as_o can_v be_v bless_v and_o have_v youâ_z alderman_n and_o common_a councilman_n any_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o they_o they_o will_v rather_o seek_v satisfaction_n for_o all_o the_o innocent_a blood_n that_o have_v be_v spill_v then_o for_o a_o personal_a treaty_n which_o in_o stead_n of_o end_v your_o trouble_n as_o they_o will_v make_v you_o believe_v will_v be_v but_o the_o begin_n of_o new_a sorrow_n which_o indeed_o be_v just_a with_o god_n for_o as_o he_o just_o punish_v sin_n without_o respect_n of_o person_n so_o he_o require_v that_o all_o who_o he_o have_v authorize_v with_o power_n shall_v impartial_o do_v the_o like_a for_o of_o all_o the_o sin_n and_o abomination_n of_o the_o land_n murder_n and_o innocent_a blood_n chief_o of_o so_o many_o thousand_o and_o ten_o thousand_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o cry_a sin_n and_o great_a abomination_n and_o until_o that_o be_v do_v away_o by_o just_a satisfaction_n according_a to_o the_o law_n both_o of_o god_n and_o man_n there_o be_v no_o appearance_n of_o any_o well-grounded_a peace_n whereof_o the_o scot_n and_o their_o confederate_n so_o much_o boast_v but_o rather_o of_o utter_a ruin_n to_o all_o the_o three_o nation_n for_o as_o the_o life_n and_o estate_n of_o saul_n and_o ahab_n be_v take_v the_o one_o for_o spare_v agag_n king_n of_o ameleck_n and_o the_o other_o benhadad_n king_n of_o syria_n so_o it_o be_v as_o likely_a and_o possible_a as_o it_o be_v just_a and_o equitable_a that_o god_n will_v in_o the_o first_o place_n so_o deal_v with_o those_o who_o have_v just_o accuse_v the_o grand_a enemy_n of_o our_o peace_n if_o they_o instead_o of_o prosecution_n make_v a_o unjust_a agreement_n contrary_a to_o the_o reveal_a
