A77455	A brief relation containing an abreviation of the arguments urged by the late Protector against the government of this nation by a King or a single person. To convince men of the danger and inconveniency thereof. Urged by him to many of the Army, at St. Albans, Windsore, at White-hall (a little before the King was beheaded) and at several other places. Published for the good and information of Parliament, Army, and people.	Cromwell, Oliver, 1599-1658, attributed name.	1659 (1659)	Wing B4622A; Thomason E965_4; ESTC R207666	4,545	8

will_v be_v to_o they_o and_o their_o posterity_n and_o say_v he_o if_o ever_o i_o shall_v go_v about_o any_o such_o thing_n i_o desire_v god_n will_v never_o bless_v i_o nor_o i_o he_o far_o declare_v that_o god_n have_v bear_v witness_n against_o the_o parliament_n for_o that_o they_o be_v intend_v to_o make_v peace_n with_o the_o late_a king_n and_o to_o settle_v he_o tell_v some_o member_n of_o the_o then_o parliament_n and_o army_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o settle_v the_o government_n in_o one_o single_a person_n that_o god_n will_v destroy_v they_o some_o for_o go_v about_o to_o settle_v iniquity_n by_o a_o law_n and_o other_o for_o not_o protest_v against_o they_o and_o for_o not_o declare_v their_o protest_n to_o the_o good_a people_n of_o england_n and_o thus_o now_o gentle_a reader_n thou_o have_v the_o substance_n of_o some_o of_o the_o reason_n urge_v by_o the_o late_a lord_n protector_n against_o monarchy_n though_o sudden_o he_o leap_v into_o the_o same_o himself_o but_o now_o it_o may_v be_v say_v these_o reason_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v the_o same_o whether_o they_o be_v or_o not_o i_o shall_v not_o now_o dispute_v but_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v probable_a i_o present_v these_o ensue_a query_n upon_o the_o whole_a i_o querie_n whether_o any_o man_n upon_o rational_a ground_n can_v expect_v that_o the_o present_a protector_n or_o single_a person_n pretend_v to_o government_n shall_v be_v more_o honest_a righteous_a and_o just_a than_o his_o decease_a father_n be_v but_o more_o particular_o upon_o the_o argument_n 1_o i_o will_v querie_n first_o whether_o the_o late_a protector_n do_v not_o work_v over_o his_o council_n to_o some_o thing_n illegal_a 2_o whether_o king_n former_o and_o the_o protector_n late_o do_v not_o wax_v wanton_a and_o provide_v for_o some_o few_o of_o their_o creature_n neglect_v the_o commonalty_n 3_o whether_o our_o late_a experience_n of_o a_o single_a person_n can_v testify_v that_o though_o for_o a_o small_a time_n he_o seem_v to_o favour_v honest_a man_n and_o thing_n yet_o when_o he_o think_v himself_o seat_v whether_o i_o say_v he_o do_v not_o then_o slight_a both_o they_o and_o it_o and_o become_v a_o favourer_n of_o the_o contrary_a and_o whether_o our_o late_a court_n do_v not_o show_v more_o growth_n and_o increase_n of_o rogue_n bawd_n and_o whore_n than_o all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o government_n by_o a_o commonwealth_n 4_o whether_o a_o confederacy_n have_v not_o be_v make_v abroad_o with_o our_o secret_a enemy_n at_o home_n that_o so_o a_o single_a person_n may_v the_o better_o suppress_v those_o that_o see_v the_o wickedness_n of_o his_o design_n 5_o whether_o the_o single_a person_n now_o pretend_v to_o government_n though_o the_o son_n of_o a_o subtle_a man_n be_v a_o wise_a man_n fit_a to_o dispose_v of_o commonwealth_n treasure_n 6_o whether_o the_o good_a people_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v not_o very_o sensible_a of_o the_o expensiveness_n extroardinary_a of_o a_o single_a person_n more_o than_o of_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o whether_o they_o do_v not_o find_v a_o want_n of_o that_o vast_a treasure_n expend_v upon_o bauble_n toy_n and_o trifle_a gugae_n such_o as_o we_o of_o late_o have_v have_v two_o much_o cause_n to_o speak_v of_o and_o whether_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o people_n poverty_n have_v not_o be_v by_o mean_n of_o purchase_v land_n to_o the_o family_n of_o the_o late_a protector_n as_o well_o as_o high_a spaniola_fw-es business_n 7_o whether_o the_o late_a person_n set_v up_o do_v not_o judge_v himself_o above_o law_n and_o whether_o he_o do_v not_o tyrannize_v over_o man_n person_n restrain_v both_o they_o and_o their_o liberty_n and_o whether_o the_o mercy_n he_o have_v pretend_v to_o in_o the_o execution_n thereof_o have_v not_o be_v very_o cruelty_n 8_o whether_o the_o late_a single_a person_n to_o uphold_v he_o and_o his_o courtier_n voluptuousness_n have_v not_o be_v ready_a to_o uphold_v what_o monopoly_n he_o find_v on_o foot_n and_o likewise_o to_o devise_v new_a way_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o whether_o the_o citizen_n have_v not_o have_v experience_n of_o court_n payment_n and_o the_o country_n man_n though_o sad_a of_o the_o spoil_n of_o his_o fence_n destroy_v his_o crop_n by_o they_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o court_n and_o that_o they_o please_v to_o call_v their_o game_n and_o if_o these_o be_v the_o beginning_n what_o will_v the_o end_n be_v and_o therefore_o for_o a_o closure_n i_o must_v say_v what_o shall_v we_o say_v or_o do_v mare_n then_o the_o king_n protector_n have_v say_v and_o do_v now_o to_o conclude_v i_o humble_o present_a to_o consideration_n whether_o upon_o a_o diligent_a serious_a weigh_v of_o the_o present_a action_n and_o past_a managment_n of_o state_n affair_n of_o some_o be_v lawyer_n etc._n etc._n raise_v from_o a_o low_a estate_n to_o sit_v in_o council_n and_o become_v great_a favourite_n at_o court_n it_o may_v not_o be_v find_v and_o clear_o see_v that_o they_o have_v a_o design_n for_o to_o bring_v in_o charles_n stuart_n for_o if_o first_o they_o bring_v in_o a_o single_a person_n and_o grant_n that_o the_o next_o dispute_n will_v be_v whether_o the_o one_o family_n or_o the_o other_o have_v most_o right_a and_o who_o have_v most_o interest_n charles_n or_o richard_n i_o think_v ask_v no_o long_a time_n to_o answer_v farther_o i_o will_v add_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o more_o likely_a to_o attain_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o golden_a rule_n do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v too_o under_o the_o government_n of_o a_o common_a wealth_n in_o which_o lawmaker_n be_v liable_a to_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o law_n make_v rather_o than_o under_o a_o monarchical_a government_n where_o or_o in_o which_o one_o if_o settle_v be_v above_o law_n and_o accountable_a to_o none_o who_o though_o never_o so_o wicked_a and_o unjust_a can_v be_v remove_v but_o by_o a_o extraordinary_a providence_n as_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o late_a king_n and_o protector_n now_o whereas_o it_o be_v endeavour_v by_o some_o court_n parasite_n to_o insinuate_v into_o the_o people_n that_o that_o which_o the_o common_a wealth_n party_n aim_v at_o be_v a_o involving_a of_o the_o nation_n in_o blood_n and_o confusion_n i_o will_v meek_o tender_v whether_o their_o deportment_n and_o behaviour_n under_o the_o almost_o insupportable_a burden_n of_o the_o tyranny_n of_o late_a time_n in_o which_o their_o right_n and_o liberty_n have_v lie_v bleed_v have_v give_v any_o just_a cause_n of_o such_o suspicion_n or_o rather_o whether_o their_o patience_n have_v not_o manifest_v their_o hope_n have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v in_o god_n from_o who_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o lawful_a free_a parliament_n they_o only_o expect_v deliverance_n be_v not_o a_o vindication_n sufficient_a only_o not_o from_o what_o be_v now_o suggest_v against_o they_o k●ng_n which_o letter_n whaley_n foolish_o show_v the_o k●ng_n but_o also_o from_o that_o old_a brand_n that_o the_o late_a protector_n in_o a_o letter_n to_o the_o late_a king_n while_o at_o hampton_n court_n give_v they_o viz._n leveller_n and_o that_o their_o
