here_o about_o the_o town_n accustom_v to_o discourse_n think_v that_o there_o need_v but_o two_o proposal_n and_o those_o very_a rational_a one_o to_o be_v make_v the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o parliament_n be_v admit_v to_o sit_v they_o may_v examine_v this_o affair_n whereof_o they_o alone_o be_v competent_a judge_n whatsoever_o declaration_n may_v otherwise_o signify_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n which_o can_v never_o be_v oblitterate_v out_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o english_a man_n that_o they_o be_v neither_o bind_a law_n nor_o can_v alienate_v or_o extinguish_v the_o right_n of_o any_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o a_o common_a person_n be_v allow_v the_o liberty_n to_o justify_v his_o legittimacy_n in_o case_n his_o father_n prove_v so_o forgetful_a or_o so_o unnatural_a as_o to_o disclaim_v he_o and_o shall_v the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n mere_o by_o be_v the_o son_n of_o a_o king_n forfeit_v this_o just_a and_o universe_n privilege_n if_o his_o majesty_n be_v indeed_o marry_v to_o that_o discountenance_a gentleman_n mother_n he_o be_v by_o our_o law_n the_o son_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o well_o as_o the_o son_n of_o king_n charles_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a as_o well_o as_o fit_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v in_o all_o due_a and_o legal_a way_n understand_v whether_o they_o have_v any_o interest_n or_o not_o in_o he_o before_o they_o be_v command_v to_o renounce_v he_o or_o resign_v it_o all_o therefore_o we_o desire_v be_v that_o this_o matter_n may_v be_v impartial_o and_o fair_o hear_v and_o that_o before_o those_o who_o alone_o have_v right_a to_o be_v judge_n of_o it_o and_o as_o no_o other_o course_n but_o this_o can_v satisfy_v the_o mind_n of_o people_n so_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o declaration_n especial_o get_v as_o this_o be_v they_o shall_v sacrifice_v the_o share_n which_o for_o any_o thing_n yet_o appear_v they_o have_v in_o he_o as_o their_o apparent_a prince_n and_o next_o heir_n to_o the_o throne_n and_o unless_o this_o be_v obtain_v the_o people_n will_v undoubted_o think_v their_o own_o right_n invade_v whatsoever_o the_o say_a duke_n judge_v of_o he_o the_o second_o thing_n we_o will_v humble_o beg_v as_o well_o as_o propose_v be_v that_o the_o parliament_n be_v call_v to_o sit_v the_o duck_n of_o york_n may_v be_v legal_o try_v for_o his_o manifold_a treason_n and_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n for_o if_o he_o be_v innocent_a and_o that_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n be_v he_o all_o man_n will_v quiet_o acquiesse_n under_o he_o but_o if_o he_o shall_v prove_v guilty_a as_o we_o no_o wise_a question_n but_o that_o he_o will_v shall_v his_o treason_n when_o a_o subject_a qualify_v he_o to_o be_v a_o king_n and_o pave_v the_o way_n for_o his_o rise_n to_o the_o throne_n according_a to_o all_o equity_n as_o well_o as_o law_n he_o ought_v first_o to_o justify_v himself_o from_o all_o traitorous_a attempt_n and_o act_n against_o the_o king_n and_o people_n before_o he_o be_v allow_v to_o have_v his_o claim_n hear_v concern_v any_o title_n that_o in_o time_n to_o come_v he_o may_v have_v to_o rule_v over_o these_o nation_n i_o shall_v subjoin_v no_o more_o at_o present_a save_v that_o i_o be_o london_n june_n the_o 10_o 1610._o my_o lord_n your_o most_o obedient_a servant_n
