may_v it_o please_v your_o most_o sacred_a majesty_n serious_o to_o consider_v my_o great_a zeal_n and_o love_n that_o i_o have_v always_o have_v for_o his_o late_a majesty_n and_o kingdom_n and_o my_o fervent_a constancy_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o unknown_a to_o your_o majesty_n as_o it_o may_v appear_v by_o many_o fast_n that_o i_o can_v number_v though_o some_o particular_a one_o i_o can_v as_o fourteen_o day_n and_o night_n and_o thirteen_o day_n and_o night_n and_o three_o time_n twelve_o day_n and_o night_n and_o nine_o day_n and_o night_n and_o go_v to_o windsor_n on_o foot_n and_o seven_o day_n and_o night_n and_o five_o day_n and_o a_o half_n and_o as_o for_o four_o three_o and_o two_o day_n and_o night_n i_o can_v number_v they_o and_o all_o my_o fast_n the_o almighty_a bear_v i_o record_v they_o be_v sincere_o perform_v without_o the_o relish_n or_o taste_v of_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n and_o moreover_o i_o have_v have_v many_o child_n and_o have_v nurse_v they_o all_o myself_o and_o i_o have_v have_v three_o and_o four_o child_n young_a and_o no_o maid_n and_o none_o to_o help_v i_o neither_o in_o sickness_n or_o health_n and_o yet_o i_o have_v find_v opportunity_n to_o come_v to_o whitehall_n and_o god_n know_v the_o care_n and_o pain_n i_o have_v take_v for_o these_o twenty_o year_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o through_o the_o great_a love_n i_o bear_v to_o your_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o kingdom_n because_o i_o know_v you_o be_v a_o gracious_a prince_n and_o i_o long_o for_o your_o eternal_a and_o present_a happiness_n and_o your_o kingdom_n too_o therefore_o i_o presume_v a_o proposal_n that_o may_v convince_v your_o majesty_n and_o settle_v your_o kingdom_n and_o fill_v all_o your_o subject_n full_a of_o joy_n if_o your_o majesty_n will_v be_v gracious_o please_v to_o yield_v to_o my_o proposal_n for_o your_o majesty_n know_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n say_v she_o be_v the_o true_a church_n and_o therefore_o she_o have_v the_o power_n of_o miracle_n and_o i_o say_v she_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n and_o have_v not_o the_o power_n of_o miracle_n but_o what_o she_o have_v do_v have_v be_v by_o a_o false_a power_n to_o delude_v king_n and_o prince_n and_o deceive_v other_o which_o i_o can_v plain_o demonstrate_v it_o if_o your_o majesty_n so_o please_v to_o favour_v i_o as_o to_o grant_v i_o my_o proposal_n which_o i_o shall_v propose_v which_o undoubted_o will_v manifest_v the_o true_a church_n and_o your_o majesty_n know_v it_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o solomon_n to_o give_v judgement_n between_o the_o two_o harlot_n in_o restore_v the_o live_a child_n to_o its_o own_o mother_n this_o be_v such_o a_o piece_n of_o justice_n that_o all_o man_n admire_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o solomon_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o much_o glory_n and_o wisdom_n in_o solomon_n in_o give_v judgement_n between_o two_o harlot_n how_o much_o more_o glorious_a will_v it_o be_v for_o your_o majesty_n to_o be_v as_o a_o angel_n to_o give_v judgement_n between_o these_o two_o church_n for_o the_o one_o say_v i_o be_o the_o true_a church_n and_o the_o other_o say_v i_o be_o the_o true_a church_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n say_v to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n she_o be_v no_o true_a church_n but_o she_o be_v a_o heretic_n and_o damn*d_n and_o so_o be_v all_o that_o protect_v she_o and_o therefore_o she_o say_v all_o be_v i_o and_o i_o will_v have_v they_o dead_a or_o alive_a for_o you_o say_v i_o may_v be_v save_v and_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o you_o be_v damn*d_v it_o be_v true_a you_o say_v so_o but_o i_o be_o never_o the_o more_o damn_a for_o your_o say_n so_o and_o you_o not_o sure_a of_o your_o salvation_n for_o my_o not_o judge_v of_o you_o but_o i_o show_v my_o christian_a charity_n towards_o you_o in_o not_o condemn_v of_o you_o and_o i_o dare_v do_v no_o other_o because_o christ_n have_v forbid_v i_o for_o it_o be_v my_o whole_a delight_n to_o submit_v to_o his_o will_n therefore_o i_o be_o the_o mother_n and_o the_o child_n be_v i_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o you_o be_v more_o pleasant_a and_o delightfull_a than_o i_o be_o for_o you_o know_v not_o what_o a_o mother_n care_n be_v but_o delight_v yourself_o in_o all_o the_o pleasant_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n and_o corrupt_v my_o child_n by_o encourage_v they_o to_o do_v all_o those_o thing_n that_o their_o nature_n most_o incline_v to_o but_o i_o be_v a_o true_a mother_n i_o can_v give_v no_o grain_n of_o allowance_n contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v all_o my_o care_n that_o they_o shall_v always_o walk_v obedient_o to_o that_o rule_n and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o only_o be_v happy_a in_o this_o world_n but_o eternal_o happy_a in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v therefore_o i_o will_v apply_v myself_o to_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o deliver_v my_o child_n from_o thy_o corruption_n and_o moreover_o i_o will_v make_v application_n to_o the_o king_n on_o earth_n and_o i_o question_v not_o but_o i_o shall_v have_v true_a justice_n do_v i_o and_o when_o god_n have_v restore_v i_o my_o child_n from_o thy_o delusion_n for_o their_o honour_n i_o will_v die_v that_o they_o may_v live_v that_o all_o may_v know_v that_o i_o be_o a_o true_a mother_n therefore_o i_o most_o humble_o beseech_v your_o majesty_n to_o end_v this_o controversy_n and_o i_o humble_o beg_v the_o favour_n that_o i_o may_v undertake_v for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o my_o proposal_n be_v this_o that_o i_o will_v be_v sbut_n into_o a_o room_n with_o any_o roman_a catholic_n that_o be_v sincere_a and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v but_o one_o key_n to_o the_o lock_n and_o your_o majesty_n to_o keep_v the_o key_n and_o i_o will_v be_v search_v that_o i_o carry_v not_o any_o thing_n with_o i_o and_o go_v in_o fast_v and_o remain_v so_o either_o seven_o day_n and_o night_n or_o nine_o day_n and_o night_n or_o as_o many_o as_o your_o majesty_n shall_v think_v fit_a and_o i_o look_v that_o whoever_o undertake_v it_o with_o i_o shall_v do_v the_o same_o sincere_o for_o i_o hate_v deceit_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o man_n i_o beseech_v your_o majesty_n to_o let_v some_o body_n be_v with_o i_o day_n and_o night_n to_o prevent_v scandal_n and_o who_o can_v doubt_v but_o nature_n be_v strong_a in_o they_o and_o they_o will_v have_v assistance_n by_o the_o '_o prayer_n of_o their_o father_n who_o can_v work_v miracle_n but_o all_o must_v know_v that_o nature_n be_v weak_a in_o i_o by_o my_o often_o fast_v for_o i_o be_o fast_v now_o and_o bathe_v be_v ever_o since_o friday_n except_o sunday_n night_n and_o now_o '_o till_o tuesday_n night_n and_o therefore_o what_o i_o do_v must_v be_v by_o a_o strong_a faith_n and_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o almighty_a oh_o that_o it_o will_v but_o please_v god_n that_o this_o may_v be_v prove_v for_o it_o will_v justify_v all_o my_o fast_n to_o be_v true_a and_o right_a and_o this_o will_v convince_v the_o world_n that_o i_o have_v obtain_v favour_n of_o the_o almighty_a for_o it_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n that_o his_o anoint_v may_v be_v a_o king_n of_o righteousness_n truth_n and_o justice_n and_o peace_n may_v flourish_v in_o your_o day_n and_o after_o a_o long_a and_o prosperous_a reign_n your_o majesty_n may_v be_v crown_v with_o a_o immortal_a crown_n of_o glory_n which_o the_o lord_n grant_v be_v the_o prayer_n of_o your_o poor_a supplicant_n subject_a and_o soul_n well_o wisher_n elinor_n james_n
