must_v be_v behold_v to_o we_o as_o we_o have_v be_v former_o to_o they_o for_o new_a opinion_n we_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o cry_v up_o for_o rarity_n of_o religion_n as_o the_o frenchman_n for_o fashion_n as_o for_o the_o socinian_o nistorian_n arrian_n etc._n etc._n they_o will_v look_v like_o old_a fashion_n doublet_n we_o must_v have_v the_o german_a anabaptist_n the_o scottish_a presbyter_n and_o the_o english_a independent_a the_o epitome_n of_o heresy_n but_o now_o they_o stop_v up_o this_o gap_n of_o iniquity_n with_o some_o pretend_a sprig_n of_o righteousness_n viz._n we_o further_o desire_v that_o through_o your_o care_n and_o zeal_n all_o open_a act_n of_o profaneness_n as_o drunkenness_n swear_v uncleanness_n etc._n etc._n be_v vigorous_o proceed_v against_o and_o punish_v in_o all_o person_n whatsoever_o but_o this_o they_o do_v for_o their_o profit_n and_o recreation_n and_o not_o out_o of_o any_o godly_a principle_n for_o by_o this_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o rich_a man_n sin_n will_v be_v the_o augmentation_n of_o the_o saint_n wealth_n and_o the_o misdemeanour_n of_o the_o poor_a will_v be_v the_o recreation_n of_o the_o rich_a so_o that_o as_o heretofore_o they_o have_v prosper_v by_o the_o devil_n help_n by_o their_o own_o wickedness_n they_o shall_v hereafter_o grow_v rich_a by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n now_o that_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v as_o merciful_a as_o severe_a they_o desire_v that_o which_o the_o other_o dare_v not_o deny_v and_o with_o their_o accustom_a profaneness_n thus_o go_v on_o that_o upon_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o great_a mercy_n late_o receive_v from_o god_n your_o heart_n will_v be_v move_v to_o extend_v your_o favour_n so_o far_o as_o may_v stand_v with_o the_o safety_n of_o this_o present_a government_n to_o those_o who_o have_v former_o serve_v you_o etc._n etc._n still_o they_o reiterate_v monk_n lie_v the_o great_a victory_n that_o the_o annal_n of_o the_o saint_n boast_v of_o in_o ireland_n and_o therefore_o as_o a_o manifestation_n of_o their_o joy_n they_o shall_v set_v free_a the_o spirit_n of_o contradiction_n lilburn_n and_o his_o bastard_n the_o leveller_n which_o i_o wish_v they_o may_v do_v that_o those_o firebrand_n may_v burn_v up_o all_o the_o block_n and_o loggerhead_n of_o the_o three_o kingdom_n but_o i_o believe_v foolish_a jack_n presbyter_n may_v wait_v long_o enough_o for_o this_o day_n of_o deliverance_n for_o they_o mean_v by_o those_o that_o have_v former_o serve_v they_o none_o but_o the_o generation_n of_o viper_n the_o leveller_n but_o these_o drop_n of_o mercy_n end_n in_o a_o shower_n of_o cruelty_n for_o after_o they_o have_v plead_v for_o their_o brethren_n in_o iniquity_n they_o furious_o demand_v that_o for_o the_o future_a all_o disturber_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n be_v vigorous_o proceed_v against_o this_o thunder_a sentence_n be_v like_o a_o pedagogue_n menace_n you_o shall_v be_v whip_v if_o you_o do_v so_o any_o more_o but_o i_o dare_v swear_v if_o jack_n lilburn_n and_o his_o confederate_n once_o get_v loose_a they_o will_v not_o fear_v to_o play_v truant_n and_o perhaps_o before_o christmas_n will_v shut_v their_o master_n out_o of_o the_o school_n and_o vigorous_o proceed_v against_o they_o as_o the_o disturber_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n but_o now_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a thought_n of_o by_o the_o communality_n they_o like_v public_a person_n desire_v that_o speedy_a consideration_n may_v be_v have_v of_o those_o great_a oppression_n which_o the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n groan_n under_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o unnecessary_a law_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v a_o good_a request_n if_o cordial_a especial_o if_o they_o will_v stand_v to_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o for_o first_o all_o those_o unnecessary_a waste_n paper_n act_n and_o ordinance_n make_v by_o this_o heretical_a parliament_n shall_v be_v recall_v and_o then_o these_o caterpillar_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o be_v the_o great_a oppressor_n that_o ever_o people_n groan_v under_o shall_v be_v take_v away_o but_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o juncto_n answer_n the_o officer_n after_o the_o read_n of_o the_o same_o be_v call_v in_o and_o master_n speaker_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o house_n give_v they_o thanks_o and_o in_o particular_a for_o the_o petition_n they_o dare_v not_o do_v otherwise_o i_o will_v undertake_v if_o they_o have_v demand_v five_o of_o the_o most_o innocent_a in_o the_o house_n to_o be_v deliver_v to_o they_o to_o suffer_v condign_a punishment_n they_o shall_v have_v they_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o therefore_o in_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o be_v they_o must_v needs_o consent_v for_o they_o will_v if_o they_o dare_v long_o before_o this_o have_v vote_v not_o only_o diversity_n of_o religion_n but_o variety_n of_o god_n and_o plurality_n of_o wife_n thus_o they_o combine_v with_o hell_n to_o
