say_v in_o this_o case_n any_o number_n of_o man_n whatsoever_o can_v upon_o any_o pretence_n recall_v that_o trust_n and_o void_v that_o law_n by_o which_o that_o king_n and_o his_o heir_n for_o ever_o be_v constitute_v the_o ruler_n of_o they_o or_o if_o they_o may_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o most_o contrary_a to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o government_n quiet_a and_o peace_n and_o probable_o the_o parent_n of_o all_o confusion_n in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v much_o worse_a than_o the_o hard_a subjection_n nay_o 2._o if_o it_o shall_v be_v gant_v still_o that_o the_o community_n of_o people_n have_v power_n to_o recall_v or_o void_a that_o trust_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v matter_n of_o more_o than_o doubt_v again_o whether_o at_o this_o time_n in_o this_o kingdom_n there_o be_v any_o way_n for_o the_o whole_a community_n to_o act_v or_o whether_o it_o can_v by_o any_o man_n be_v reasonable_o believe_v that_o what_o be_v now_o do_v be_v act_v by_o the_o community_n of_o the_o people_n for_o if_o to_o that_o purpose_n it_o be_v conceive_v that_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v or_o that_o the_o two_o house_n together_o be_v the_o representative_a of_o all_o the_o people_n then_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o man_n in_o this_o kingdom_n that_o be_v not_o represent_v by_o these_o and_o who_o never_o put_v nor_o can_v by_o any_o interpretation_n be_v think_v to_o have_v put_v into_o their_o hand_n that_o power_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o every_o free_a commoner_n in_o this_o kingdom_n 2._o that_o you_o yourselves_o have_v express_v your_o opinion_n that_o this_o which_o now_o be_v be_v a_o unequal_a representative_a and_o have_v on_o that_o consideration_n think_v yourselves_o oblige_v to_o propound_v another_o form_n 3._o it_o be_v sure_a that_o whatever_o possible_o may_v have_v be_v yet_o they_o that_o have_v ever_o till_o this_o time_n choose_v knight_n or_o burgess_n to_o the_o parliament_n do_v never_o actual_o put_v into_o their_o hand_n as_o into_o their_o representative_n all_o that_o power_n which_o in_o this_o case_n of_o the_o people_n be_v the_o supreme_a power_n be_v natural_o suppose_v to_o be_v vest_v in_o they_o but_o only_o a_o power_n of_o do_v those_o thing_n for_o which_o the_o writ_n send_v out_o under_o the_o broad_a seal_n do_v command_v they_o to_o be_v return_v i_o e._n to_o consult_v with_o the_o king_n of_o the_o difficult_a affair_n of_o the_o kingdom_n not_o to_o settle_v any_o part_n of_o it_o without_o or_o against_o he_o and_o 4._o it_o be_v clear_a that_o in_o such_o a_o acknowledge_a conjuncture_n of_o time_n as_o this_o be_v a_o small_a far_o less_o part_n of_o those_o that_o be_v return_v by_o the_o country_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v that_o entire_a company_n or_o body_n by_o which_o the_o whole_a community_n be_v represent_v or_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o godly_a people_n of_o the_o land_n who_o by_o petition_n to_o the_o general_n the_o lord_n fairfax_n have_v express_v their_o desire_n that_o justice_n be_v execute_v upon_o those_o who_o they_o call_v delinquent_n be_v to_o be_v repute_v as_o the_o community_n of_o the_o people_n then_o first_o it_o will_v be_v clear_a that_o those_o that_o have_v so_o petition_v beside_o that_o they_o be_v most_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o army_n be_v not_o the_o thousand_o part_n of_o the_o people_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o can_v by_o any_o rule_n of_o judgement_n or_o estimation_n be_v repute_v as_o the_o whole_a community_n and_o if_o this_o precedent_n may_v be_v admit_v that_o a_o few_o person_n under_o the_o title_n of_o the_o godly_a may_v pretend_v to_o the_o right_n of_o the_o whole_a it_o be_v very_o well_o worth_a foresee_v how_o dangerous_a such_o example_n may_v prove_v to_o the_o peace_n of_o posterity_n 2._o all_o the_o evidence_n of_o their_o godliness_n that_o we_o can_v perceive_v be_v only_o their_o desire_a liberty_n for_o themselves_o and_o other_o and_o therefore_o justice_n on_o those_o who_o stand_v in_o their_o way_n to_o that_o liberty_n and_o i_o conceive_v it_o demonstrable_a that_o a_o quiet_a submission_n and_o obedience_n and_o a_o desire_v not_o to_o cast_v off_o their_o duty_n but_o still_o to_o continue_v under_o it_o rather_o than_o to_o be_v their_o own_o carver_n or_o contriver_n of_o liberty_n be_v a_o far_o sure_a sign_n of_o true_a godliness_n and_o three_o there_o have_v yet_o be_v no_o fair_a indifferent_a mean_n use_v to_o know_v whether_o there_o be_v not_o far_o great_a number_n of_o such_o godly_a meek_a man_n who_o will_v rather_o desire_v that_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v restore_v to_o his_o government_n then_o that_o any_o course_n shall_v be_v take_v by_o any_o without_o or_o against_o the_o king_n and_o the_o plain_a truth_n be_v that_o if_o you_o will_v go_v on_o in_o the_o course_n you_o be_v in_o and_o yet_o desire_v free_o to_o appear_v and_o be_v account_v the_o conserver_n and_o not_o conqueror_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o your_o countryman_n if_o you_o will_v not_o impose_v upon_o the_o people_n as_o you_o say_v king_n have_v do_v nothing_o can_v be_v more_o suitable_a to_o those_o pretence_n then_o to_o declare_v most_o public_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v free_a for_o every_o man_n to_o subscribe_v whether_o he_o do_v desire_v this_o total_a change_n by_o you_o tender_v in_o the_o draught_n of_o your_o representative_a or_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o present_a establish_a government_n with_o a_o assurance_n of_o your_o submission_n thereunto_o 4._o it_o be_v upon_o supposition_n that_o all_o power_n be_v original_o in_o the_o people_n most_o undeniable_a and_o clear_a that_o nothing_o but_o the_o consent_n of_o each_o person_n at_o least_o of_o a_o major_a part_n of_o the_o whole_a be_v convoke_v together_o can_v divest_v any_o one_o or_o more_o man_n of_o that_o their_o suppose_a original_a right_n and_o consequent_o that_o other_o man_n say_n that_o they_o be_v not_o godly_a and_o that_o themselves_o be_v so_o can_v never_o exclude_v they_o from_o their_o birthright_n by_o which_o it_o will_v infallible_o be_v conclude_v that_o all_o those_o that_o have_v adhere_v to_o the_o king_n all_o this_o time_n or_o that_o favour_v the_o vote_n of_o the_o two_o house_n which_o resolve_v the_o king_n late_a concession_n at_o newport_n to_o be_v a_o fit_a ground_n of_o peace_n whatsoever_o censure_n or_o brand_n be_v by_o you_o set_v upon_o they_o be_v as_o much_o to_o be_v consider_v to_o the_o make_n up_o the_o community_n of_o the_o people_n as_o any_o other_o and_o if_o so_o let_v it_o then_o be_v consider_v by_o all_o equal_a mind_a man_n what_o a_o violation_n it_o be_v of_o those_o right_n which_o you_o pretend_v to_o vindicate_v what_o a_o invasion_n of_o the_o natural_a freedom_n of_o your_o brethren_n by_o you_o acknowledge_v the_o inheritance_n of_o each_o man_n to_o force_v they_o against_o their_o will_n with_o their_o very_a great_a incommodation_n and_o detriment_n
