then_o and_o everywhere_o remonstrate_v unto_o you_o therefore_o my_o lord_n since_o you_o have_v wisdom_n to_o discover_v the_o several_a interest_n which_o you_o then_o mention_v to_o be_v interweave_v both_o in_o church_n state_n etc._n etc._n it_o will_v also_o be_v as_o considerable_a to_o consider_v that_o those_o person_n be_v but_o few_o in_o respect_n to_o the_o whole_a and_o they_o be_v only_o those_o who_o now_o obstruct_v our_o peace_n and_o cause_v the_o nation_n thus_o to_o complain_v so_o that_o to_o make_v any_o conclusion_n with_o your_o excellency_n that_o those_o be_v rational_a or_o satisfactory_a ground_n under_o favour_n can_v be_v admit_v since_o it_o oppose_v the_o people_n freedom_n their_o ancient_a right_n and_o that_o which_o be_v of_o more_o

or_o by_o the_o blood_n and_o ruin_n not_o to_o name_v all_o our_o conscience_n tell_v we_o of_o our_o brethren_n countryman_n and_o friend_n and_o be_v uphold_v by_o person_n who_o interest_n at_o

i_o be_o come_v to_o that_o particular_a where_o the_o people_n and_o the_o seclude_a member_n as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v deny_v a_o right_a upon_o a_o supposition_n of_o necessity_n and_o as_o to_o that_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_o reduce_v to_o this_o who_o or_o what_o bring_v we_o or_o they_o to_o this_o necessity_n be_v it_o not_o former_a crime_n if_o so_o then_o my_o lord_n all_o
