a_o declaration_n of_o the_o peaceable_a royalist_n 1._o concerning_o the_o king_n we_o be_v not_o so_o mad_a nor_o so_o foolish_a as_o to_o endeavour_v to_o enslave_v ourselves_o and_o the_o whole_a nation_n under_o a_o tyrant_n we_o know_v that_o king_n james_n have_v his_o fault_n and_o king_n charles_n have_v his_o fault_n and_o the_o present_a king_n of_o scot_n have_v his_o fail_n as_o all_o man_n be_v sinner_n too_o too_o bad_a god_n know_v indeed_o although_o we_o think_v we_o do_v well_o in_o assist_v the_o king_n against_o the_o parliament_n because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n command_v obedience_n to_o king_n yet_o have_v we_o but_o know_v of_o that_o most_o dreadful_a curse_n of_o king_n james_n who_o curse_v himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n for_o ever_o if_o he_o spare_v any_o that_o be_v sound_a guilty_a of_o sir_n thomas_n overbury_n death_n and_o after_o the_o lord_n carr_n be_v find_v guilty_a and_o condemn_v for_o that_o fact_n he_o do_v spare_v he_o and_o will_v never_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v execute_v we_o say_v have_v we_o know_v this_o we_o shall_v have_v let_v god_n alone_o and_o not_o have_v be_v so_o forward_o in_o assist_v he_o in_o our_o late_a unhappy_a war_n for_o whosoever_o shall_v read_v a_o book_n entitle_v the_o court_n of_o king_n james_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o last_o engagement_n make_v by_o the_o parliament_n saturday_n 3d_o decemb._n 1659._o the_o say_a engagement_n run_v thus_o i_o a._n b._n do_v hereby_o declare_v that_o i_o do_v renounce_v the_o pretend_a title_n of_o charles_n stewart_n and_o the_o whole_a line_n of_o the_o late_a king_n james_n etc._n etc._n will_v find_v that_o god_n judgement_n be_v just_a nevertheless_o we_o be_v exceed_o sorry_a for_o that_o family_n out_o of_o the_o love_n we_o bear_v to_o charles_n out_o late_a king_n because_o he_o grant_v many_o good_a thing_n so_o willing_o before_o any_o arm_n be_v take_v up_o on_o either_o side_n namely_o 1._o the_o damn_v all_o

be_v a_o parliament_n every_o three_o year_n 6._o that_o this_o parliament_n shall_v continue_v until_o it_o dissolve_v itself_o and_o then_o after_o all_o this_o for_o the_o parliament_n to_o demand_v his_o power_n from_o he_o and_o because_o he_o will_v not_o give_v it_o they_o to_o fight_v with_o he_o for_o it_o we_o think_v it_o be_v too_o hard_a measure_n and_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n and_o duty_n to_o help_v he_o not_o know_v of_o the_o aforesaid_a imprecation_n of_o king_n james_n or_o that_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n be_v in_o it_o but_o now_o the_o militia_n be_v by_o conquest_n the_o parliament_n right_a we_o pray_v god_n it_o may_v be_v right_o employ_v and_o for_o peace_n sake_n and_o for_o prevent_v the_o come_n in_o of_o foreign_a nation_n and_o for_o poor-old_a charles_n his_o sake_n our_o desire_n be_v 1_o that_o charles_n stewart_n may_v be_v but_o only_a speaker_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o have_v no_o more_o power_n than_o william_n

in_o time_n past_a and_o the_o profaneness_n and_o wickedness_n of_o many_o will_v be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n we_o consider_v that_o among_o all_o sect_n and_o opinion_n in_o religion_n there_o
