my_o lord_n i_o think_v it_o my_o bind_a duty_n to_o return_v your_o lordship_n thanks_o for_o the_o great_a care_n you_o have_v take_v in_o preserve_v the_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n of_o this_o city_n and_o for_o your_o loyalty_n to_o my_o late_a sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n and_o his_o brother_n my_o lord_n i_o shall_v always_o admire_v you_o and_o more_o especial_o the_o late_a alderman_n your_o brethren_n and_o as_o for_o sir_n john_n moor_n he_o shall_v never_o be_v forget_v for_o the_o great_a care_n and_o pain_n he_o take_v and_o no_o magistrate_n be_v ever_o so_o abuse_v yet_o though_o he_o have_v power_n he_o revenge_v it_o not_o and_o as_o for_o sir_n william_n pritchard_n he_o carry_v himself_o both_o prudent_a and_o wise_a and_o as_o for_o the_o late_a sheriff_n i_o think_v they_o be_v as_o worthy_a civil_a gentleman_n as_o any_o that_o can_v serve_v the_o city_n and_o as_o for_o the_o people_n none_o more_o incline_v to_o love_v their_o own_o prince_n than_o they_o but_o not_o will_v to_o be_v in_o subjection_n to_o another_o and_o sure_o that_o be_v no_o crime_n for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o crime_n how_o high_o guilty_a be_o i_o that_o have_v always_o love_v my_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o no_o other_o for_o how_o entire_o do_v i_o love_v my_o late_a sovereign_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n i_o love_v above_o he_o but_o god._n o_o that_o i_o have_v die_v that_o he_o may_v have_v live_v than_o you_o will_v not_o have_v be_v expose_v to_o the_o flout_n mock_v and_o derision_n of_o your_o adversary_n but_o it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o all_o our_o trial_n and_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o your_o loyalty_n will_v remain_v to_o the_o end_n that_o you_o may_v obtain_v the_o crown_n of_o your_o reward_n but_o my_o lord_n you_o know_v that_o loyalty_n without_o piety_n towards_o god_n will_v avail_v nothing_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o anger_n therefore_o i_o humble_o beseech_v your_o lordship_n and_o the_o alderman_n your_o brethren_n and_o all_o the_o loyal_a man_n of_o this_o city_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o zealous_a for_o god_n glory_n and_o his_o truth_n as_o they_o have_v be_v for_o the_o king_n interest_n and_o then_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n almighty_n will_v accept_v of_o your_o endeavour_n and_o you_o may_v obtain_v that_o everlasting_a name_n of_o be_v good_a servant_n to_o god_n and_o good_a subject_n to_o your_o prince_n although_o the_o affliction_n of_o joseph_n be_v forget_v and_o the_o loyalty_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n despise_v and_o her_o adversary_n triumph_v over_o she_o say_v take_v down_o her_o hedge_n that_o the_o wild_a boar_n of_o the_o forest_n may_v devour_v her._n o_o who_o will_v have_v think_v that_o my_o sovereign_n that_o i_o love_v so_o well_o and_o plead_v his_o cause_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o before_o all_o person_n who_o i_o admire_v above_o all_o prince_n for_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n shall_v now_o expose_v we_o therefore_o i_o will_v put_v no_o confidence_n in_o prince_n nor_o in_o the_o son_n of_o man_n but_o in_o god_n alone_o who_o be_v able_a to_o preserve_v we_o and_o i_o shall_v always_o pray_v for_o my_o sovereign_a lord_n that_o god_n will_v keep_v and_o preserve_v he_o from_o that_o that_o be_v hurtful_a to_o prince_n for_o i_o have_v be_v concern_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o this_o nation_n above_o these_o twenty_o year_n and_o it_o be_v love_n to_o god_n that_o make_v i_o love_v the_o king_n and_o love_n to_o the_o king_n that_o make_v i_o love_v the_o people_n and_o when_o any_o pronounce_v any_o judgement_n against_o this_o nation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n it_o trouble_v i_o therefore_o i_o humble_v myself_o with_o fast_v to_o implore_v the_o almighty_a that_o the_o judgement_n may_v be_v prevent_v but_o i_o find_v that_o many_o people_n mock_v at_o his_o judgement_n and_o do_v not_o forsake_v their_o sin_n as_o if_o they_o delight_v to_o provoke_v the_o most_o high_a to_o destroy_v they_o indeed_o when_o i_o first_o undertake_v the_o quarrel_n they_o blame_v i_o infinite_o for_o it_o say_v they_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o it_o but_o i_o matter_v it_o not_o for_o i_o know_v god_n do_v not_o delight_n in_o the_o destruction_n of_o any_o and_o let_v they_o be_v how_o they_o will_v towards_o i_o yet_o my_o love_n be_v so_o towards_o they_o that_o i_o do_v not_o matter_n what_o they_o say_v for_o i_o love_v my_o sovereign_n therefore_o i_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o have_v his_o kingdom_n destroy_v or_o his_o throne_n uneasy_a and_o indeed_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v very_o good_a to_o i_o for_o he_o have_v give_v i_o favour_n before_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n yet_o not_o with_o stand_v i_o be_o very_o sensible_a i_o have_v a_o great_a many_o enemy_n that_o will_v have_v destroy_v i_o a_o great_a while_n ago_o it_o my_o sovereign_n have_v not_o be_v as_o a_o angel_n to_o preserve_v i_o though_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v the_o roman_a catholic_n have_v be_v very_o civil_a to_o i_o but_o it_o be_v in_o hope_n to_o make_v i_o a_o prosilite_n but_o it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o their_o love_n will_v last_v any_o long_a than_o their_o hope_n therefore_o i_o be_o very_o sorry_a for_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v think_v that_o none_o can_v be_v save_v but_o what_o own_v rome_n when_o we_o all_o have_v but_o one_o god_n one_o saviour_n and_o one_o holy_a spirit_n and_o yet_o that_o we_o must_v be_v count_v heretical_a and_o damn_a it_o must_v proceed_v from_o ignorance_n or_o malice_n yet_o i_o be_o persuade_v there_o be_v many_o roman_a catholic_n that_o love_v i_o and_o i_o wish_v they_o well_o and_o for_o many_o dissentor_n i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o they_o love_v i_o likewise_o though_o they_o think_v i_o to_o be_v popish_o incline_v but_o i_o never_o be_v and_o i_o hope_v in_o god_n never_o shall_v be_v and_o as_o for_o the_o churchman_n they_o have_v a_o great_a reason_n to_o love_v i_o because_o i_o can_v sacrifice_v my_o life_n for_o they_o all_o for_o their_o good_a be_v my_o good_a and_o their_o unhappiness_n be_v my_o unhappiness_n and_o i_o delight_v great_o in_o have_v they_o happy_a therefore_o god_n require_v that_o shall_v be_v just_o and_o then_o merciful_a and_o to_o abound_v in_o all_o good_a work_n for_o christ_n say_v by_o this_o all_o man_n know_v you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o keep_v my_o commandment_n to_o love_v one_o another_o and_o to_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n and_o to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n command_n and_o if_o our_o dissent_v brethren_n have_v do_v this_o there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o contention_n among_o we_o but_o offence_n will_v come_v but_o woe_n to_o they_o by_o who_o they_o come_v they_o have_v condemn_v their_o brethren_n for_o be_v fool_n i_o wish_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o same_o judgement_n as_o they_o have_v condemn_v other_o and_o so_o i_o rest_v your_o lordship_n humble_a servant_n and_o soul_n wellwisher_n elinor_n james_n
