to_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o council_n of_o state_n appoint_v by_o authority_n of_o parliament_n for_o the_o government_n of_o these_o three_o kingdom_n during_o the_o interval_n of_o parliament_n the_o humble_a petition_n of_o many_o thousand_o citizen_n and_o freeman_n of_o london_n and_o other_o the_o well-affected_a people_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o the_o further_o secure_v of_o john_n lambert_n who_o releasement_n may_v embolden_v the_o sectarian_n faction_n to_o attempt_v the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o nation_n peace_n humble_o show_v that_o your_o petitioner_n have_v a_o very_a great_a sense_n of_o the_o many_o affliction_n inflict_v upon_o these_o poor_a distress_a nation_n and_o of_o the_o many_o endeavour_n of_o the_o mad_a and_o fanatic_a party_n to_o entrench_v upon_o their_o liberty_n and_o to_o involve_v they_o still_o into_o more_o and_o more_o ruin_n to_o their_o utter_a fall_n and_o destruction_n have_v not_o the_o almighty_a god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n be_v please_v to_o restrain_v in_o some_o measure_n his_o afflict_a hand_n and_o restore_v their_o breach_n by_o recalling_a the_o seclude_a member_n of_o the_o late_a parliament_n and_o re-estate_v they_o in_o their_o trust_n to_o the_o confusion_n we_o hope_v of_o those_o malevolent_a spirit_n who_o for_o the_o furtherance_n own_o private_a end_n and_o interest_n have_v endeavour_v the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o these_o three_o kingdom_n that_o the_o say_a parliament_n have_v devolve_v their_o power_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o this_o right_n honourable_a council_n during_o the_o present_a interval_n we_o can_v but_o hope_v that_o your_o honour_n will_v be_v please_v still_o to_o proceed_v in_o those_o good_a way_n which_o the_o parliament_n begin_v for_o the_o settlement_n of_o these_o nation_n in_o peace_n and_o quietness_n and_o for_o the_o depress_v the_o design_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n independent_n fift-monarchy_n man_n quaker_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sectarian_n rabble_n who_o malevolent_a spirit_n can_v never_o be_v content_a with_o any_o government_n but_o their_o own_o and_o who_o have_v so_o often_o endeavour_v to_o usurp_v a_o unjust_a illegal_a and_o tyrannical_a power_n over_o the_o nation_n and_o reduce_v they_o to_o a_o slavery_n under_o they_o and_o their_o heretical_a opinion_n that_o your_o honour_n can_v but_o be_v high_o sensible_a of_o these_o their_o many_o and_o violent_a endeavour_n foment_v by_o the_o envy_n and_o ambition_n of_o such_o man_n who_o though_o they_o can_v allow_v of_o their_o opinion_n yet_o will_v willing_o condescend_v unto_o they_o so_o that_o they_o do_v but_o contribute_v to_o the_o accomplish_n of_o their_o end_n and_o desire_n and_o who_o see_v that_o their_o

never_o so_o well_o establish_v either_o in_o church_n or_o state_n that_o though_o it_o have_v please_v our_o merciful_a god_n and_o father_n hitherto_o to_o frustrate_v all_o the_o design_n and_o desire_n of_o that_o factious_a and_o malignant_a party_n yet_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v consider_v their_o late_a intention_n the_o many_o arm_n and_o ammunition_n etc._n etc._n take_v from_o they_o that_o their_o hope_n of_o reign_n be_v not_o yet_o quell_v but_o that_o they_o will_v still_o seek_v all_o possible_a mean_n and_o opportunity_n to_o subvert_v any_o government_n which_o may_v but_o in_o probability_n tend_v to_o the_o quiet_a and_o settlement_n of_o these_o nation_n as_o be_v necessary_o contrary_a to_o the_o design_n and_o interest_n of_o those_o turbulent_a mind_a man_n that_o your_o petitioner_n upon_o serious_a consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o lover_n of_o their_o country_n peace_n and_o quietness_n have_v think_v fit_a humble_o to_o present_v these_o thing_n to_o your_o honour_n especial_o weigh_v the_o great_a encouragement_n which_o will_v be_v give_v to_o these_o sectary_n and_o fanatic_n by_o the_o releasement_n of_o major_a general_n lambert_n their_o head_n and_o chief_a out_o of_o the_o tower_n whereby_o they_o will_v be_v embolden_v to_o attempt_v and_o endeavour_v more_o desperate_a and_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o the_o disturbance_n of_o our_o rest_n and_o peace_n that_o we_o likewise_o humble_o conceive_v that_o the_o say_a general_n lambert_n may_v legal_o stand_v indict_v of_o high_a treason_n if_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n upon_o which_o pretence_n our_o late_a glorious_a king_n suffer_v martyrdom_n may_v be_v so_o deem_v he_o have_v by_o no_o law_n but_o only_o that_o of_o arm_n infringe_v that_o which_o sit_v as_o a_o parliament_n of_o their_o privilege_n and_o sit_v and_o by_o a_o military_a force_n drive_v they_o out_o of_o the_o house_n your_o petitioner_n therefore_o humble_o pray_v since_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o late_a parliament_n leave_v it_o whole_o to_o your_o honour_n pleasure_n whether_o the_o say_a lambert_n shall_v be_v release_v upon_o security_n parole_n or_o not_o that_o your_o honour_n will_v so_o far_o regard_v the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o these_o nation_n as_o not_o to_o permit_v the_o releasement_n of_o a_o person_n who_o turbulent_a and_o ambitious_a spirit_n may_v so_o far_o disquiet_v our_o peace_n but_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o a_o speedy_a trial_n to_o answer_v for_o his_o rebellion_n and_o treason_n and_o your_o
