we_o leave_v it_o then_o to_o the_o impartial_a thought_n of_o the_o good_a people_n of_o england_n whether_o we_o have_v not_o occasion_n to_o say_v that_o our_o king_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n since_o we_o be_v thus_o condemn_v without_o a_o hear_n and_o our_o nation_n put_v to_o the_o trouble_n and_o expense_n to_o send_v lawyer_n out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o defend_v themselves_o before_o those_o that_o have_v already_o condemn_v they_o and_o since_o this_o be_v a_o visible_a effect_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o crown_n by_o which_o we_o be_v every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o oppress_v let_v they_o speak_v their_o conscience_n if_o we_o have_v not_o all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o dissolve_v that_o union_n except_o the_o nation_n be_v more_o close_o unite_v and_o upon_o a_o better_a foot_n that_o we_o be_v so_o treat_v in_o former_a reign_n we_o have_v no_o great_a cause_n to_o wonder_v when_o the_o court_n be_v engage_v in_o a_o conspiracy_n against_o our_o religion_n and_o liberty_n and_o our_o nation_n be_v inferior_a to_o none_o in_o their_o zeal_n for_o both_o it_o be_v but_o natural_a to_o think_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v the_o first_o sacrifice_n but_o to_o be_v treat_v thus_o by_o a_o prince_n who_o have_v venture_v his_o life_n to_o save_v we_o from_o popery_n and_o slavery_n a_o prince_n who_o for_o courage_n in_o war_n and_o conduct_v in_o peace_n be_v not_o to_o be_v match_v in_o story_n a_o prince_n who_o be_v under_o god_n the_o great_a champion_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o the_o bold_a asserter_n of_o europe_n liberty_n a_o prince_n who_o family_n we_o revere_v and_o who_o person_n we_o adore_v a_o prince_n for_o who_o we_o have_v so_o cheerful_o venture_v our_o life_n and_o lose_v so_o much_o of_o the_o best_a blood_n in_o our_o vein_n to_o be_v so_o treat_v by_o such_o a_o prince_n have_v some_o thing_n cut_v beyond_o expression_n and_o prove_v that_o our_o disaster_n be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v remedy_v but_o either_o by_o a_o total_a separation_n or_o a_o close_a union_n of_o the_o two_o kingdom_n we_o can_v be_v so_o unjust_a to_o his_o majesty_n character_n as_o to_o think_v a_o prince_n of_o his_o magnanimity_n can_v be_v guilty_a of_o so_o mean_v a_o thing_n as_o willing_o to_o subject_v the_o crown_n of_o his_o ancient_a kingdom_n which_o he_o receive_v free_a to_o that_o of_o another_o we_o can_v once_o suffer_v it_o to_o enter_v into_o our_o thought_n that_o he_o who_o dare_v to_o outbrave_v death_n in_o the_o field_n a_o thousand_o time_n a_o day_n shall_v act_v so_o unworthy_a a_o part_n as_o first_o to_o condemn_v and_o then_o to_o try_v we_o these_o and_o all_o other_o thing_n of_o that_o sort_n we_o must_v needs_o charge_v to_o the_o account_n of_o our_o

contrary_a to_o the_o peace_n betwixt_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o ally_n we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o complain_v of_o it_o be_v our_o kingdom_n then_o become_v so_o mean_a and_o contemptible_a that_o what_o be_v transact_v according_a to_o the_o act_n of_o our_o parliament_n and_o patent_n of_o our_o king_n be_v liable_a to_o be_v annul_v or_o declare_v illegal_a by_o any_o person_n that_o have_v the_o hap_n to_o be_v make_v a_o english_a secretary_n of_o state_n governor_n of_o one_o of_o their_o american_n plantation_n or_o a_o member_n of_o their_o council_n of_o trade_n if_o it_o be_v so_o his_o majesty_n dignity_n as_o king_n of_o scot_n be_v well_o defend_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n when_o it_o be_v liable_a thus_o to_o be_v trample_v upon_o by_o his_o own_o servant_n as_o king_n of_o england_n this_o do_v indeed_o verify_v what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o our_o king_n since_o the_o union_n leave_v their_o ancient_a kingdom_n to_o the_o disposal_n of_o their_o servant_n but_o whether_o this_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o coronation_n oath_n of_o our_o king_n let_v they_o determine_v that_o be_v concern_v to_o inquire_v and_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v worth_a the_o consideration_n of_o our_o neighbour_n whether_o since_o we_o have_v be_v govern_v by_o servant_n they_o have_v not_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v subject_a to_o minion_n and_o that_o the_o one_o do_v natural_o pave_v the_o way_n for_o the_o other_o so_o that_o they_o be_v no_o great_a gainer_n by_o the_o bargain_n if_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o proclamation_n be_v issue_v by_o his_o majesty_n authority_n and_o that_o therefore_o our_o sentence_n proceed_v from_o his_o bar_n we_o answer_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v shrewd_a suspicion_n that_o a_o certain_a gentleman_n or_o two_o who_o have_v affect_v all_o along_o to_o show_v their_o zeal_n against_o the_o scot_n in_o this_o affair_n have_v push_v this_o matter_n beyond_o their_o

do_v it_o at_o all_o question_n his_o majesty_n authority_n as_o king_n of_o england_n to_o forbid_v his_o english_a subject_n to_o give_v any_o manner_n of_o assistance_n to_o the_o scot_n at_o

of_o scotland_n for_o any_o thing_n they_o transact_v without_o the_o dominion_n of_o england_n if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o his_o majesty_n as_o king_n of_o scot_n be_v bind_v to_o appear_v at_o the_o king_n be_v bench-bar_n in_o westminster-hall_n for_o what_o he_o have_v do_v as_o king_n of_o scot_n upon_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n summons_n and_o of_o what_o consequence_n this_o may_v be_v to_o himself_o or_o his_o successor_n may_v be_v easy_o judge_v have_v oliver_n and_o the_o other_o regicide_n bethink_v themselves_o of_o this_o it_o have_v be_v more_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o england_n and_o will_v have_v take_v off_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o the_o odium_fw-la that_o be_v charge_v upon_o they_o for_o cut_v off_o king_n charles_n have_v they_o search_v for_o something_o criminal_a in_o his_o conduct_n towards_o the_o english_a nation_n as_o king_n of_o scot_n and_o condemn_v he_o for_o that_o though_o they_o do_v not_o think_v upon_o this_o perhaps_o other_o may_n and_o then_o the_o english_a will_v be_v able_a to_o justify_v themselves_o as_o not_o have_v cut_v off_o their_o own_o king_n but_o their_o enemy_n the_o king_n of_o scot_n as_o there_o be_v no_o
