bring_v to_o light_v the_o devilish_a attempt_n and_o plot_n of_o our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n against_o your_o majesty_n sacred_a person_n your_o government_n the_o true_a protestant_a religion_n the_o life_n liberty_n and_o property_n of_o your_o protestant_a subject_n and_o that_o by_o the_o letter_n and_o paper_n of_o the_o conspirator_n themselves_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o one_o of_o the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n they_o propose_v to_o accomplish_v their_o design_n be_v by_o the_o procure_n the_o frequent_a adjourn_v prorogue_a or_o dissolve_v of_o your_o parliament_n be_v surprise_v with_o astonishment_n at_o the_o untimely_a dissolution_n of_o your_o late_a parliament_n before_o your_o majesty_n and_o they_o can_v full_o pursue_v the_o discovery_n and_o suppression_n

home_n and_o abroad_o but_o we_o stand_v more_o amaze_v at_o the_o unpresidented_a boldness_n of_o some_o private_a person_n who_o by_o print_a paper_n and_o otherwise_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o arraign_v and_o condemn_v the_o proceed_n of_o your_o two_o last_o parliament_n which_o as_o your_o petitioner_n humble_o conceive_v plain_o tend_v to_o bring_v that_o part_n of_o the_o constitution_n into_o contempt_n and_o in_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o to_o dissolve_v the_o ancient_a government_n and_o its_o fundamental_o the_o preservation_n whereof_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o

ourselves_o oblige_v by_o our_o allegiance_n to_o represent_v to_o your_o majesty_n that_o by_o these_o mean_n contrary_a to_o your_o royal_a intention_n occasion_n be_v take_v by_o the_o conspirator_n and_o their_o complice_n to_o hasten_v and_o accomplish_v that_o ruin_n of_o your_o majesty_n your_o kingdom_n and_o the_o whole_a protestant_a interest_n which_o have_v be_v so_o long_o project_v and_o prosecute_v by_o the_o counsel_n of_o rome_n and_o its_o adherent_n in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o which_o they_o be_v chief_o animate_v by_o the_o continue_a hope_n of_o a_o popish_a successor_n and_o sharpen_v by_o the_o justice_n do_v upon_o the_o late_a viscount_n stafford_n and_z other_z conspirators_z and_o the_o continue_a and_o great_a confidence_n of_o the_o party_n be_v daily_o visible_a in_o the_o open_a numerous_a resort_n of_o papist_n about_o your_o royal_a palace_n and_o this_o city_n also_o we_o shall_v be_v deficient_a in_o our_o duty_n shall_v we_o not_o

a_o encouragement_n to_o other_o to_o commit_v further_a outrage_n and_o depredation_n upon_o your_o subject_n and_o their_o ship_n but_o will_v also_o inevitable_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o
