ought_v in_o his_o majesty_n apprehension_n or_o can_v in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o law_n be_v hold_v tumultuary_a and_o seditious_a when_o ●as_v majesty_n in_o that_o question_n of_o

his_o majesty_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n such_o as_o do_v appear_v against_o they_o be_v daily_o discountenance_v and_o disgrace_v which_o while_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o we_o have_v no_o

a_o high_a judge_n in_o matter_n of_o law_n than_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n it_o be_v declare_v in_o his_o majesty_n name_n that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o keep_v the_o rule_n himself_o and_o to_o his_o power_n to_o require_v the_o same_o of_o all_o other_o we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v that_o such_o a_o resolution_n be_v like_a to_o bring_v much_o happiness_n and_o blessing_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o all_o his_o kingdom_n yet_o with_o humility_n we_o must_v confess_v we_o have_v not_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o in_o that_o case_n of_o my_o lord_n kimbolton_n and_o the_o other_o five_o member_n accuse_v contrary_a to_o law_n both_o common_a law_n and_o the_o statute_n law_n and_o yet_o remain_v unsatisfied_a which_o case_n be_v remember_v in_o our_o declaration_n as_o a_o strange_a and_o unheard_a of_o violation_n of_o our_o law_n but_o the_o penner_n of_o this_o answer_n think_v fit_a to_o pass_v it_o over_o hope_v that_o many_o will_v read_v his_o majesty_n answer_n which_o have_v be_v so_o careful_o disperse_v which_o will_v not_o read_v our_o declaration_n whereas_o after_o our_o ample_a thanks_o and_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o majesty_n favour_n in_o pass_v many_o good_a bill_n we_o say_v that_o truth_n and_o necessity_n enforce_v we_o to_o add_v this_o that_o in_o or_o about_o the_o time_n of_o pass_v those_o bill_n some_o design_n or_o other_o have_v be_v a_o foot_n which_o if_o it_o have_v take_v effect_n will_v not_o only_o have_v deprive_v we_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o those_o bill_n but_o will_v have_v reduce_v we_o to_o a_o worse_a condition_n of_o confusion_n then_o that_o wherein_o the_o parliament_n find_v we_o it_o be_v now_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o king_n must_v be_v most_o sensible_a of_o what_o we_o cast_v upon_o he_o for_o requital_n of_o those_o good_a bill_n whereas_o out_o of_o our_o usual_a tenderness_n of_o his_o majesty_n honour_n we_o do_v not_o mention_v he_o at_o all_o but_o so_o injurious_a be_v those_o wicked_a counsellor_n to_o the_o name_n and_o honour_n of_o their_o master_n and_o sovereign_n that_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v they_o lay_v their_o own_o infamy_n and_o guilt_n upon_o his_o shoulder_n here_o god_n also_o be_v call_v to_o witness_v his_o majesty_n upright_a intention_n at_o the_o pass_n of_o those_o law_n this_o we_o will_v not_o question_v neither_o do_v we_o give_v any_o occasion_n of_o such_o a_o solemn_a asseveration_n as_o this_o be_v the_o devil_n be_v likewise_o defy_v to_o prove_v there_o be_v any_o design_n with_o his_o majesty_n knowledge_n or_o privity_n this_o may_v well_o have_v be_v spare_v for_o we_o speak_v nothing_o of_o his_o majesty_n but_o since_o we_o be_v so_o far_o tax_v as_o to_o have_v it_o affirm_v that_o we_o lay_v a_o notorious_a and_o false_a imputation_n upon_o his_o majesty_n we_o have_v think_v it_o necessary_a for_o the_o just_a defence_n of_o our_o own_o innocence_n to_o cause_v the_o oath_n and_o

shall_v now_o offer_v some_o few_o particular_n whereby_o the_o world_n may_v judge_v whether_o we_o can_v have_v proceed_v with_o more_o tenderness_n towards_o his_o majesty_n than_o we_o have_v do_v master_n goreing_n confess_v that_o the_o king_n first_o ask_v he_o whether_o he_o be_v engage_v in_o any_o cabal_n concerning_o the_o army_n and_o command_v he_o to_o join_v with_o master_n piercy_n

be_v prove_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o sir_n jacob_n ashley_n sir_n john_n conyers_n and_o captain_n legg_n will_v easy_o perceive_v some_o point_n in_o it_o apt_a to_o beget_v in_o they_o some_o discontent_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o can_v any_o man_n believe_v there_o be_v no_o design_n in_o the_o accusation_n of_o the_o lord_n kimbolton_n and_o the_o rest_n in_o which_o his_o

that_o the_o penner_n of_o this_o answer_n shall_v entangle_v his_o majesty_n in_o this_o unnecessary_a apology_n as_o it_o be_v against_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n that_o any_o reparation_n from_o

that_o he_o will_v take_v that_o course_n which_o will_v be_v most_o effectual_a to_o ease_v they_o of_o these_o burden_n that_o be_v to_o join_v with_o his_o parliament_n in_o preserve_v the_o

the_o parliament_n have_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o they_o we_o have_v not_o diminish_v his_o just_a revenue_n but_o have_v much_o ease_v his_o public_a charge_n and_o somewhat_o his_o private_a and_o

from_o the_o parliament_n and_o to_o make_v they_o serviceable_a to_o the_o end_n and_o aim_n of_o those_o who_o will_v destroy_v they_o therefore_o we_o desire_v the_o kingdom_n to_o take_v notice_n
