hungry_a prince_n with_o his_o necessitous_a kindred_n and_o dependent_n so_o that_o i_o must_v conclude_v that_o every_o election_n do_v certain_o threaten_v the_o worst_a of_o evil_n and_o that_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o a_o succession_n be_v far_o less_o and_o do_v very_o seldom_o happen_v by_o the_o concurrent_n of_o many_o ill_a accident_n together_o and_o i_o think_v this_o may_v serve_v for_o demonstration_n of_o the_o people_n exception_n who_o judge_v by_o the_o pressure_n they_o feel_v and_o now_o let_v we_o examine_v the_o distaste_v of_o the_o soldiery_n and_o people_n together_o to_o your_o highness_n person_n and_o i_o doubt_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o great_a their_o love_n and_o admiration_n once_o be_v the_o more_o be_v now_o their_o hatred_n and_o your_o highness_n danger_n for_o they_o both_o look_v upon_o you_o as_o a_o zealous_a reformer_n not_o only_o of_o tyranny_n but_o of_o the_o very_a cause_n of_o it_o and_o though_o you_o act_v beyond_o their_o reason_n they_o think_v it_o be_v because_o you_o have_v more_o reason_n than_o they_o and_o so_o with_o a_o implicit_a faith_n they_o expect_v from_o your_o highness_n such_o a_o settlement_n as_o shall_v recompense_v their_o great_a expense_n of_o blood_n and_o treasure_n but_o after_o the_o spirir_fw-fr have_v move_v you_o to_o break_v your_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n which_o you_o take_v with_o all_o the_o member_n at_o your_o first_o entrance_n into_o parliament_n and_o after_o that_o your_o trust_n from_o the_o two_o house_n upon_o the_o score_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o since_o again_o to_o destroy_v the_o king_n weed_v the_o parliament_n and_o at_o last_o ●ear_v it_o up_o by_o the_o root_n and_o they_o in_o the_o end_n see_v no_o other_o fruit_n of_o blood_n and_o perjury_n but_o the_o give_a law_n like_o a_o conqueror_n and_o impose_v that_o kind_n of_o government_n upon_o the_o soldiery_n which_o they_o have_v fight_v against_o and_o indeed_o a_o worse_a what_o can_v be_v fear_v from_o such_o a_o delude_a army_n and_o people_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v as_o bold_o draw_v their_o sword_n together_o against_o a_o protector_n as_o the_o presbyterian_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o independent_n do_v former_o against_o the_o king_n notwithstanding_o their_o own_o difference_n in_o opinion_n certain_o they_o will_v be_v as_o little_a scrupulous_a of_o murder_a monarch_n by_o his_o own_o law_n as_o one_o by_o all_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n establish_v and_o will_v think_v your_o highness_n as_o guilty_a of_o the_o bloodshed_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o they_o once_o think_v the_o king_n and_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o people_n who_o find_v their_o tax_n and_o danger_n perpetuate_v which_o be_v inconsiderable_a when_o they_o first_o quarrel_v with_o they_o will_v be_v as_o forward_o to_o assist_v the_o soldiery_n as_o they_o can_v wish_v they_o and_o i_o think_v this_o general_a disaffection_n of_o the_o people_n be_v so_o evident_a to_o your_o highness_n before_o they_o be_v exasperate_v by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n or_o parliament_n that_o you_o need_v not_o doubt_v their_o unanimous_a insurrection_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v prepare_v and_o countenance_v in_o it_o when_o the_o people_n of_o single_a county_n venture_v their_o life_n and_o fortune_n so_o free_o as_o they_o do_v before_o the_o king_n death_n where_o it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o a_o remnant_n of_o the_o break_a and_o discourage_v people_n of_o kent_n with_o some_o small_a addition_n in_o essex_n be_v able_a to_o divert_v my_o lord_n fairfax_n army_n at_o colchester_n three_o month_n together_o if_o the_o nation_n have_v be_v then_o prepare_v for_o a_o general_a insurrection_n in_o a_o day_n it_o be_v probable_a your_o highness_n glory_n have_v be_v nip_v in_o the_o bud_n notwithstanding_o your_o renown_a victory_n against_o the_o scot_n at_o that_o time_n but_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v why_o the_o people_n do_v not_o show_v this_o readiness_n when_o the_o scot_n with_o their_o king_n come_v to_o worcester_n and_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o their_o come_n be_v unexpected_a and_o in_o such_o haste_n as_o show_v they_o rather_o come_v to_o seek_v then_o give_v protection_n and_o the_o forlaid_a design_n if_o there_o be_v any_o be_v as_o be_v then_o pretend_v discover_v but_o howsoever_o there_o be_v little_o more_o than_o be_v requisite_a for_o disperse_v of_o order_n between_o the_o day_n of_o their_o arrival_n at_o worcester_n and_o that_o of_o their_o defeat_n but_o the_o grand_a objection_n be_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o common_a enemy_n the_o king_n will_v always_o keep_v the_o soldiery_n at_o unity_n in_o their_o obedience_n under_o your_o highness_n but_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o a_o few_o of_o they_o shall_v but_o resolve_v to_o murder_v your_o highness_n and_o one_o or_o two_o more_o of_o your_o principal_a officer_n which_o no_o doubt_n they_o may_v easy_o and_o secure_o do_v they_o will_v find_v time_n enough_o to_o settle_v any_o form_n of_o government_n they_o please_v before_o the_o common_a enemy_n who_o have_v neither_o money_n ship_n arm_n nor_o friend_n abroad_o nor_o any_o foot_n in_o this_o nation_n can_v give_v they_o any_o disturbance_n and_o how_o far_o zeal_n may_v prompt_v those_o who_o be_v religious_a and_o the_o ambition_n of_o share_v the_o government_n those_o of_o no_o religion_n a_o wise_a man_n ought_v to_o fear_v but_o admit_v the_o king_n be_v land_v and_o considerable_a the_o soldiery_n very_o well_o know_v by_o experience_n how_o welcome_a even_o particular_a man_n be_v that_o revolt_n to_o a_o enemy_n in_o a_o doubtful_a condition_n much_o more_o great_a body_n which_o may_v not_o only_o make_v what_o advantageous_a condition_n they_o please_v for_o themselves_o but_o may_v impose_v upon_o he_o strict_a limitation_n of_o his_o power_n than_o your_o highness_n be_v now_o tie_v to_o by_o your_o protectorship_n and_o no_o doubt_n may_v retain_v any_o place_n of_o benefit_n or_o strength_n they_o shall_v then_o be_v possess_v of_o for_o security_n of_o performance_n of_o condition_n but_o if_o the_o worst_a shall_v happen_v that_o he_o shall_v come_v in_o a_o conqueror_n without_o their_o help_n they_o know_v that_o a_o few_o of_o the_o great_a one_o will_v only_o be_v punish_v for_o reason_n will_v lead_v any_o conquer_a tyrant_n for_o his_o own_o security_n to_o sweeten_v the_o multitude_n with_o a_o general_a pardon_n and_o act_n of_o oblivion_n and_o for_o any_o scruple_n they_o may_v have_v of_o betray_v your_o highness_n trust_n i_o doubt_v they_o will_v be_v wipe_v away_o by_o their_o apprehension_n of_o your_o first_o break_v you_o with_o king_n

consider_v the_o fondness_n of_o the_o people_n to_o their_o old_a form_n of_o religion_n as_o well_o as_o government_n which_o you_o have_v abolish_v without_o give_v the_o liberty_n to_o tender_a conscience_n they_o expect_v and_o your_o highness_n will_v conclude_v with_o i_o that_o the_o world_n afford_v you_o few_o other_o than_o enemy_n at_o home_n and_o emulator_n abroad_o and_o if_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o nothing_o but_o truth_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o your_o generosity_n will_v think_v i_o more_o worthy_a of_o thanks_o than_o any_o of_o your_o flatterer_n especial_o if_o i_o

apply_v the_o promise_a cure_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lessen_n of_o your_o highness_n in_o any_o thing_n for_o i_o be_o one_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v monarchy_n to_o be_v the_o best_a form_n of_o government_n so_o as_o it_o be_v hereditary_a for_o admit_v a_o monarch_n be_v a_o tyrant_n his_o tyranny_n be_v mortal_a and_o his_o care_n will_v be_v great_a not_o to_o offend_v than_o of_o a_o multitude_n of_o governor_n who_o may_v lay_v fault_n upon_o one_o another_o and_o be_v as_o subject_v to_o cruelty_n and_o avarice_n as_o the_o single_a person_n so_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v prey_v upon_o by_o one_o family_n with_o its_o dependent_n than_o by_o three_o or_o four_o hundred_o with_o they_o and_o we_o may_v easy_o please_v the_o one_o and_o have_v
