they_o but_o his_o grace_n have_v so_o full_o and_o distinct_o speak_v upon_o all_o the_o several_a head_n and_o they_o do_v so_o effectual_o speak_v and_o recommend_v themselves_o that_o i_o be_o persuade_v there_o remain_v a_o conviction_n upon_o we_o all_o and_o i_o shall_v but_o touch_v some_o few_o of_o they_o the_o first_o make_v way_n for_o itself_o a_o supply_n for_o subsist_v of_o the_o force_n which_o be_v now_o on_o foot_n or_o what_o more_o may_v be_v judge_v necessary_a for_o preserve_v and_o secure_v the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o let_v we_o consider_v his_o majesty_n engage_v in_o foreign_a war_n against_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o liberty_n and_o that_o we_o bear_v no_o share_n of_o the_o expense_n or_o if_o we_o

our_o happiness_n but_o the_o happiness_n of_o europe_n we_o must_v all_o as_o good_a protestant_n and_o good_a countryman_n esteem_v it_o our_o honour_n and_o credit_n as_o well_o as_o our_o interest_n to_o give_v now_o cheerful_o what_o the_o honour_n and_o security_n of_o his_o majesty_n government_n call_v for_o and_o since_o we_o be_v happy_a and_o easy_a under_o it_o let_v we_o use_v our_o outmost_a endeavour_n that_o this_o inestimable_a blessing_n may_v not_o only_o be_v continue_v with_o we_o but_o hand_v down_o to_o our_o posterity_n i_o think_v i_o need_v scarce_o mind_v you_o how_o much_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o our_o trade_n have_v suffer_v by_o the_o want_n of_o some_o ship_n of_o war_n for_o the_o guard_n of_o our_o coast_n and_o convoy_n this_o be_v not_o only_o our_o loss_n in_o general_n but_o i_o believe_v many_o who_o hear_v i_o may_v be_v now_o sensible_o touch_v with_o their_o own_o particular_a loss_n so_o that_o i_o need_v not_o use_v argument_n to_o enforce_v this_o nor_o can_v i_o doubt_v your_o forwardness_n to_o provide_v against_o it_o in_o time_n come_v and_o it_o be_v no_o small_a encouragement_n that_o our_o king_n propose_v only_o those_o thing_n to_o we_o which_o be_v our_o own_o advantage_n to_o grant_n i_o shall_v but_o short_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o fresh_a assurance_n we_o have_v of_o his_o majesty_n gracious_a and_o firm_a resolution_n to_o maintain_v the_o presbyterian-government_n of_o this_o church_n as_o now_o by_o law_n establish_v and_o i_o hope_v the_o moderation_n and_o calmness_n that_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n appear_v in_o all_o our_o proceed_n in_o church_n matter_n will_v satisfy_v the_o world_n that_o this_o be_v the_o government_n most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o temper_n and_o inclination_n of_o this_o people_n and_o most_o suitable_a for_o the_o interest_n and_o support_v of_o our_o king_n the_o civil_a government_n and_o peace_n of_o this_o kingdom_n i_o fear_v to_o spend_v too_o much_o of_o your_o time_n and_o be_o sensible_a you_o can_v bestow_v it_o worse_o but_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v allow_v i_o to_o wish_v there_o may_v be_v unanimity_n b●nd_v c●●mness_n

the_o work_n we_o have_v before_o we_o and_o thus_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o raise_v our_o reputation_n abroad_o but_o satisfy_v his_o majesty_n we_o deserve_v the_o trust_n he_o have_v repose_v in_o we_o when_o he_o himself_o be_v out_o of_o britain_n and_o can_v there_o be_v a_o great_a inducement_n or_o a_o strong_a argument_n to_o encourage_v we_o then_o that_o we_o have_v a_o king_n who_o be_v not_o only_o careful_a to_o govern_v we_o by_o our_o stand_a law_n but_o as_o we_o may_v see_v have_v now_o instruct_v his_o grace_n my_o lord_n commissioner_n that_o such_o new_a law_n may_v
