a_o answer_n to_o the_o london_n petition_n you_o gentleman_n and_o citizen_n both_o you_o and_o your_o request_n be_v welcome_a to_o we_o and_o can_v fail_v of_o a_o kind_a reception_n here_o where_o your_o former_a merit_n and_o your_o present_a good_a intention_n be_v so_o well_o know_v it_o be_v natural_a in_o the_o patient_n to_o seek_v cure_n of_o his_o disease_n and_o to_o move_v the_o physician_n to_o use_v his_o best_a skill_n and_o it_o be_v commendable_a in_o you_o under_o your_o suffering_n to_o apply_v yourselves_o to_o we_o for_o ease_n and_o we_o hope_v it_o be_v not_o mere_a impatience_n urge_v you_o to_o seek_v thing_n impossible_a or_o unjust_a your_o prayer_n for_o peace_n be_v honourable_a so_o be_v jacob_n wife_n for_o child_n yet_o when_o she_o cry_v give_v i_o child_n or_o i_o die_v she_o be_v too_o blame_v for_o she_o seek_v that_o of_o jacob_n which_o jacob_n have_v no_o power_n to_o give_v and_o she_o seek_v the_o same_o with_o such_o violence_n as_o jacob_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v hear_v but_o we_o will_v only_o conceive_v that_o without_o all_o impatience_n you_o seek_v of_o we_o peace_n so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v procure_v it_o and_o not_o absolute_o for_o it_o depend_v not_o so_o much_o upon_o we_o as_o the_o king_n and_o it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o to_o draw_v the_o king_n to_o a_o peace_n except_o his_o majesty_n be_v as_o inclinable_a to_o it_o as_o we_o be_v and_o we_o will_v conceive_v also_o that_o you_o seek_v not_o peace_n naked_o except_o it_o come_v along_o with_o truth_n righteousness_n and_o honour_n and_o of_o such_o a_o peace_n we_o be_v as_o zealous_a as_o you_o can_v wish_v we_o to_o be_v and_o for_o other_o peace_n if_o we_o shall_v whole_o submit_v to_o the_o king_n party_n without_o all_o condition_n for_o future_a security_n such_o a_o submission_n to_o that_o party_n will_v be_v no_o redress_n but_o a_o increase_n of_o your_o present_a suffering_n we_o be_v entrust_v in_o this_o by_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o that_o trust_v we_o must_v not_o break_v upon_o the_o solicitation_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n you_o be_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o london_n but_o you_o be_v not_o whole_a london_n and_o london_n be_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o this_o kingdom_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o we_o according_a to_o our_o trust_n must_v look_v upon_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n but_o it_o may_v be_v that_o you_o see_v more_o than_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o may_v out_o of_o that_o sight_n offer_v some_o thing_n to_o we_o for_o the_o ease_n and_o relief_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n in_o this_o we_o will_v not_o gainsay_v you_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o some_o clear_a way_n and_o form_n of_o a_o just_a safe_a and_o honourable_a accommodation_n may_v be_v open_v and_o discover_v to_o you_o which_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v find_v out_o by_o we_o if_o this_o be_v so_o we_o desire_v you_o cordial_o and_o in_o a_o friendly_a manner_n to_o communicate_v your_o apprehension_n and_o understanding_n of_o this_o affair_n to_o we_o and_o by_o our_o sudden_a and_o full_a embrasement_n there_o of_o you_o shall_v soon_o find_v how_o dear_a and_o precious_a the_o face_n the_o very_a name_n or_o sound_v of_o peace_n be_v to_o we_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o desire_v you_o to_o rest_v assure_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o defect_n in_o we_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o point_n of_o understanding_n it_o can_v be_v in_o point_n of_o affection_n no_o man_n live_a can_v be_v in_o affection_n more_o devote_v to_o safe_a peace_n than_o we_o be_v and_o further_o we_o desire_v you_o not_o to_o censure_v we_o of_o any_o defect_n at_o all_o no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o understanding_n except_o you_o can_v reveal_v to_o we_o some_o better_a way_n than_o we_o have_v hitherto_o assay_v no_o accommodation_n can_v be_v but_o we_o must_v leave_v something_o to_o the_o king_n upon_o trust_n and_o if_o the_o accommodation_n be_v even_o the_o king_n will_v not_o deny_v some_o trust_n to_o we_o but_o in_o this_o help_n to_o advise_v we_o how_o far_o we_o shall_v trust_v the_o king_n and_o how_o far_o we_o shall_v trust_v the_o king_n party_n be_v the_o king_n utter_o disengage_v from_o all_o party_n perhaps_o we_o will_v whole_o trust_v the_o king_n and_o desire_v no_o trust_n at_o all_o to_o be_v leave_v in_o we_o from_o his_o majesty_n but_o we_o see_v in_o the_o king_n party_n some_o that_o have_v a_o strange_a power_n in_o his_o affection_n yea_o a_o great_a power_n far_o than_o we_o have_v and_o yet_o they_o be_v know_v to_o be_v deep_o in_o rage_v papist_n violent_o engage_v delinquent_n and_o if_o you_o will_v whole_o put_v yourselves_o and_o the_o kingdom_n into_o the_o trust_n of_o such_o a_o party_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o withstand_v it_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v the_o king_n protest_v to_o hate_v popery_n and_o disavow_v all_o thought_n of_o arbitrarie_a rule_n yet_o we_o know_v all_o how_o far_o he_o be_v addict_v to_o papist_n and_o malignant_a hater_n of_o parliament_n and_o since_o we_o can_v submit_v to_o the_o king_n but_o we_o must_v submit_v to_o his_o party_n who_o he_o prefer_v before_o we_o what_o advantage_n be_v it_o to_o we_o whether_o he_o be_v in_o heart_n the_o selsesame_n as_o his_o party_n be_v or_o not_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o and_o the_o king_n party_n be_v so_o diametrical_o opposite_a in_o religion_n and_o state_n both_o that_o he_o can_v protect_v both_o if_o they_o be_v his_o friend_n we_o be_v his_o enemy_n if_o we_o be_v his_o friend_n they_o be_v questionless_a his_o enemy_n if_o he_o shield_v they_o from_o our_o justice_n he_o must_v expose_v we_o to_o their_o injustice_n either_o they_o must_v judge_v we_o or_o we_o they_o no_o middle_a way_n can_v be_v safe_a nor_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o accommodation_n it_o must_v prove_v inevitable_a confusion_n in_o the_o end_n many_o year_n we_o have_v already_o struggle_v together_o and_o they_o have_v all_o the_o while_n find_v more_o favour_n from_o the_o court_n than_o we_o but_o now_o we_o be_v more_o implacablie_o exasperate_v by_o blood_n one_o against_o the_o other_o and_o they_o will_v not_o lay_v down_o arm_n before_o we_o nor_o ought_v we_o before_o they_o and_o if_o both_o lay_v down_o arm_n together_o yet_o little_a safety_n will_v be_v to_o we_o for_o our_o religion_n and_o profession_n will_v ●inde_v we_o true_o to_o perform_v but_o they_o will_v ●inde_v they_o to_o betray_v we_o and_o since_o they_o be_v great_a in_o the_o

to_o you_o as_o we_o will_v to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o england_n if_o you_o prefer_v their_o cause_n and_o be_v before_o we_o speak_v it_o out_o more_o plain_o if_o you_o wish_v better_o to_o we_o and_o think_v better_o of_o we_o be_v wary_a of_o such_o accommodation_n as_o may_v render_v we_o upon_o unequal_a term_n into_o their_o hand_n you_o will_v say_v we_o have_v receive_v other_o petition_n with_o more_o favour_n when_o they_o have_v more_o concur_v with_o we_o in_o their_o vote_n we_o confess_v and_o justify_v it_o for_o when_o the_o people_n have_v encourage_v we_o by_o
