deliver_v to_o you_o that_o be_v their_o great_a assistant_n a_o account_n and_o knowledge_n of_o a_o resolution_n they_o have_v take_v to_o send_v a_o petition_n to_o his_o majesty_n ground_v upon_o these_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n towards_o god_n to_o seek_v peace_n indeed_o to_o seek_v it_o with_o all_o man_n therefore_o proper_o and_o natural_o with_o the_o king_n this_o they_o be_v direct_v to_o do_v if_o peace_n fly_v from_o we_o to_o pursue_v it_o to_o follow_v it_o this_o be_v their_o holy_a duty_n they_o have_v likewise_o take_v into_o their_o thought_n too_o serious_o that_o that_o may_v concern_v the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n person_n be_v engage_v in_o this_o last_o battle_n through_o his_o own_o resolution_n and_o adventure_n to_o put_v his_o person_n in_o some_o hazard_n they_o have_v a_o tenderness_n of_o that_o and_o among_o other_o consideration_n it_o be_v that_o that_o prevail_v with_o they_o to_o desire_v that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v in_o danger_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a by_o a_o further_a pursuance_n of_o this_o action_n that_o in_o all_o probability_n must_v come_v to_o a_o second_o blow_n and_o that_o speedy_o if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o other_o way_n take_v for_o a_o accommodation_n there_o be_v another_o reason_n that_o they_o be_v likewise_o persuade_v the_o more_o willing_o thus_o to_o petition_n and_o to_o desire_v peace_n that_o be_v for_o the_o save_n and_o recover_v the_o kingdom_n of_o ireland_n in_o the_o distress_n that_o you_o have_v long_o see_v it_o they_o know_v the_o impossibility_n for_o this_o kingdom_n to_o relieve_v that_o if_o we_o continue_v in_o these_o distraction_n and_o in_o these_o confusion_n within_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o believe_v nothing_o can_v contribute_v or_o conduce_v towards_o the_o recover_n of_o that_o kingdom_n and_o the_o deliver_n of_o those_o person_n indeed_o from_o danger_n that_o you_o have_v send_v thither_o they_o believe_v nothing_o can_v possible_o do_v it_o but_o our_o quietness_n &_o our_o peace_n here_o if_o that_o kingdom_n shall_v fall_v into_o other_o hand_n such_o hand_n as_o it_o may_v likely_a and_o probable_o do_v what_o inconvenience_n what_o danger_n must_v fall_v upon_o this_o kingdom_n from_o the_o power_n and_o the_o neighbourhood_n of_o that_o you_o all_o must_v imagine_v they_o do_v likewise_o consider_v this_o that_o in_o the_o distraction_n among_o ourselves_o what_o advantage_n foreign_a state_n may_v take_v when_o our_o own_o hand_n be_v weaken_v and_o a_o desolation_n upon_o the_o kingdom_n universal_o through_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n those_o that_o do_v malign_v our_o religion_n and_o their_o conscience_n direct_v they_o to_o destroy_v it_o as_o well_o as_o their_o ambition_n to_o make_v a_o conquest_n of_o the_o nation_n how_o open_a we_o shall_v be_v likewise_o to_o they_o for_o any_o prejudice_n or_o any_o danger_n may_v fall_v upon_o we_o beside_o they_o have_v a_o consideration_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n that_o have_v so_o long_o continue_v in_o peace_n in_o the_o blessing_n of_o peace_n so_o long_o in_o the_o bed_n of_o peace_n and_o in_o the_o arm_n of_o peace_n for_o this_o hundred_o year_n there_o have_v be_v no_o civil_a division_n nor_o distraction_n within_o this_o kingdom_n and_o those_o abundance_n that_o peace_n have_v procure_v and_o those_o happiness_n likely_a to_o be_v devour_v in_o any_o state_n by_o the_o sword_n of_o war_n as_o in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n already_o you_o see_v how_o it_o begin_v to_o destroy_v with_o what_o height_n with_o what_o power_n with_o what_o insolency_n these_o be_v consideration_n that_o have_v make_v they_o believe_v that_o as_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o god_n it_o be_v that_o which_o they_o owe_v likewise_o to_o the_o king_n it_o be_v that_o that_o they_o owe_v to_o the_o kingdom_n in_o which_o they_o have_v be_v bear_v and_o breed_v it_o be_v likewise_o a_o discharge_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n that_o every_o body_n may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o their_o fault_n if_o peace_n be_v not_o procure_v but_o though_o they_o be_v thus_o resolve_v and_o upon_o these_o reason_n to_o offer_v a_o petition_n and_o to_o seek_v peace_n by_o all_o the_o way_n that_o be_v possible_a yet_o they_o have_v command_v i_o to_o let_v you_o know_v that_o as_o they_o desire_v peace_n they_o will_v prepare_v for_o war_n they_o have_v give_v direction_n that_o this_o day_n my_o lord_n general_n shall_v carry_v out_o his_o army_n out_o of_o the_o city_n there_o be_v a_o r●●devouz_n appoint_v they_o shall_v there_o draw_v themselves_o together_o in_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o we_o be_v very_o confident_a and_o very_a hopeful_a we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o defend_v it_o we_o be_v likewise_o resolve_v and_o so_o i_o be_o command_v to_o deliver_v to_o you_o that_o as_o we_o have_v long_o keep_v together_o with_o resolution_n to_o defend_v our_o privilege_n our_o religion_n our_o liberty_n and_o law_n so_o we_o will_v continue_v in_o the_o same_o resolution_n and_o the_o same_o purpose_n to_o do_v so_o nothing_o shall_v deter_v we_o from_o it_o if_o we_o can_v find_v peace_n from_o his_o majesty_n upon_o these_o condition_n that_o religion_n and_o law_n and_o our_o liberty_n and_o all_o may_v be_v happy_o secure_v to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o you_o all_o we_o shall_v be_v glad_a of_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o blessing_n to_o we_o and_o to_o you_o all_o if_o it_o can_v be_v do_v we_o be_v resolve_v and_o so_o i_o be_o command_v to_o let_v you_o know_v nothing_o shall_v discourage_v we_o neither_o danger_n nor_o power_n nor_o any_o thing_n but_o if_o we_o can_v maintain_v our_o religion_n our_o law_n and_o our_o liberty_n we_o will_v perish_v and_o die_v for_o it_o master_n john_n pym_n his_o speech_n my_o lord_n major_a and_o you_o gentleman_n of_o this_o famous_a city_n of_o london_n and_o that_o will_v make_v it_o much_o more_o famous_a by_o these_o noble_a affection_n which_o you_o have_v show_v still_o to_o the_o public_a good_a and_o by_o yield_v so_o much_o aid_n and_o so_o much_o encouragement_n as_o you_o have_v do_v to_o the_o parliament_n in_o maintain_v it_o there_o be_v little_a to_o be_v add_v to_o that_o that_o be_v say_v by_o this_o noble_a lord_n who_o have_v represent_v to_o you_o the_o sense_n of_o both_o house_n the_o reason_n and_o motive_n upon_o which_o they_o do_v desire_v peace_n motive_n indeed_o that_o have_v wrought_v with_o we_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o war_n to_o this_o time_n for_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v step_v one_o step_n towards_o war_n if_o we_o may_v have_v have_v or_o hope_v for_o such_o a_o peace_n as_o may_v have_v secure_v religion_n and_o liberty_n and_o the_o public_a good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o true_o ill_a counsel_n do_v exclude_v we_o from_o such_o hope_n we_o now_o conceive_v that_o the_o king_n have_v see_v the_o courage_n of_o his_o subject_n have_v see_v the_o danger_n of_o his_o own_o person_n so_o much_o blood_n shed_v about_o he_o that_o he_o will_v be_v more_o tractable_a to_o good_a

late_o fight_v before_o it_o come_v to_o another_o battle_n again_o it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o may_v seem_v a_o resolution_n contrary_a to_o that_o that_o be_v open_v to_o you_o within_o these_o few_o day_n but_o you_o will_v conceive_v that_o all_o great_a counsel_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o alter_v their_o resolution_n according_a as_o matter_n alter_v and_o as_o the_o apprehension_n of_o matter_n alter_v for_o if_o thing_n appear_v more_o clear_a and_o hopeful_a to_o they_o at_o one_o time_n then_o at_o another_o it_o be_v no_o dishonour_n for_o they_o to_o vary_v according_a to_o their_o appearance_n judgement_n and_o best_a reason_n so_o long_o as_o they_o do_v it_o with_o affection_n to_o

the_o best_a purpose_n which_o you_o may_v rest_v assure_v the_o parliament_n have_v do_v and_o though_o we_o desire_v peace_n very_o much_o yet_o a_o peace_n to_o betray_v religion_n and_o to_o betray_v our_o liberty_n we_o shall_v always_o esteem_v worse_o than_o war_n therefore_o we_o shall_v put_v it_o to_o a_o very_a quick_a issue_n if_o the_o king_n receive_v the_o petition_n to_o make_v such_o proposition_n as_o you_o may_v see_v whether_o you_o shall_v be_v secure_v in_o your_o religion_n in_o your_o religion_n with_o a_o hope_n of_o reformation_n such_o a_o reformation_n as_o may_v maintain_v the_o power_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o purity_n of_o religion_n aswell_o as_o the_o name_n of_o religion_n for_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v content_v with_o the_o name_n without_o a_o reformation_n that_o shall_v maintain_v the_o power_n of_o it_o and_o we_o shall_v pursue_v the_o maintenance_n of_o our_o liberty_n liberty_n that_o may_v not_o only_o be_v the_o law_n and_o statute_n but_o liberty_n that_o may_v be_v in_o practice_n and_o in_o execution_n and_o to_o take_v such_o course_n that_o you_o may_v have_v the_o effect_n of_o they_o in_o truth_n for_o to_o have_v print_v liberty_n and_o not_o to_o have_v liberty_n in_o truth_n and_o reality_n be_v but_o to_o mock_v the_o kingdom_n and_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v take_v care_n for_o that_o in_o the_o second_o place_n and_o we_o shall_v take_v care_n to_o maintain_v the_o dignity_n and_o the_o honour_n of_o parliament_n for_o that_o be_v that_o that_o will_v be_v a_o last_a security_n to_o you_o in_o your_o liberty_n and_o religion_n we_o shall_v take_v care_n in_o the_o four_o place_n to_o answer_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n that_o we_o will_v not_o consent_v to_o any_o thing_n that_o shall_v be_v prejudicial_a to_o they_o we_o will_v preserve_v they_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o honour_n that_o ever_o this_o city_n of_o london_n be_v in_o and_o true_o it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o honour_n that_o ever_o it_o be_v for_o you_o have_v carry_v yourselves_o in_o such_o a_o regard_n to_o the_o public_a that_o never_o any_o of_o your_o predecessor_n do_v so_o before_o and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v in_o a_o peace_n be_v as_o careful_a of_o you_o as_o of_o ourselves_o and_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o this_o that_o if_o we_o have_v not_o this_o peace_n our_o life_n our_o pain_n our_o estate●_n they_o shall_v all_o join_v with_o you_o in_o maintain_v that_o with_o the_o sword_n which_o we_o shall_v not_o get_v in_o a_o humble_a way_n by_o petition_n and_o this_o we_o shall_v bring_v to_o a_o quick_a issue_n therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o move_v you_o as_o i_o be_o command_v to_o do_v from_o the_o parliament_n that_o you_o will_v not_o think_v there_o be_v any_o faint_n on_o our_o part_n that_o we_o be_v more_o cold_a and_o less_o affectionate_a to_o any_o of_o these_o good_a end_n than_o heretofore_o we_o have_v be_v but_o that_o we_o w●uld_v compass_v they_o with_o more_o ●ecure_a advantage_n for_o if_o you_o can_v get_v these_o by_o peace_n you_o will_v have_v great_a advantage_n by_o it_o you_o will_v hinder_v foreign_a invasion_n from_o beyond_o the_o sea_n you_o will_v quick_o be_v able_a to_o master_v the_o rebel_n in_o ireland_n you_o will_v quick_o be_v able_a to_o suppress_v the_o papist_n that_o begin_v to_o rise_v in_o england_n that_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o perpetual_a security_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o hurt_v you_o more_o therefore_o if_o we_o can_v have_v such_o a_o peace_n without_o further_a hazard_n and_o bloodshedding_n we_o shall_v praise_v god_n and_o esteem_v it_o as_o a_o great_a blessing_n but_o if_o not_o pray_v lay_v not_o down_o the_o same_o spirit_n for_o we_o have_v the_o same_o heart_n and_o multitude_n of_o spirit_n and_o the_o kingdom_n inclinable_a to_o we_o where_o the_o king_n have_v pass_v many_o to_o save_v their_o estate_n and_o life_n have_v show_v themselves_o but_o man_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o single_a country_n shall_v maintain_v themselves_o against_o a_o army_n but_o they_o have_v heart_n as_o they_o have_v before_o and_o no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v join_v with_o we_o with_o more_o alacrity_n when_o they_o see_v we_o have_v desire_v peace_n by_o all_o the_o way_n we_o can_v and_o can_v have_v it_o we_o shall_v by_o this_o mean_n satisfy_v our_o own_o conscience_n we_o shall_v satisfy_v many_o member_n of_o parliament_n that_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v put_v on_o this_o way_n we_o shall_v satisfy_v many_o of_o the_o kingdom_n too_o that_o have_v hold_v themselves_o indifferent_a but_o when_o they_o see_v there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o peace_n in_o such_o a_o way_n without_o blood_n certain_o they_o will_v stand_v to_o we_o for_o religion_n and_o liberty_n which_o must_v be_v destroy_v if_o we_o can_v secure_v they_o without_o war_n therefore_o i_o shall_v commend_v to_o you_o that_o you_o will_v not_o let_v fall_v any_o part_n of_o your_o contribution_n for_o it_o be_v that_o that_o must_v maintain_v the_o army_n and_o entertain_v no_o ill_a apprehension_n of_o the_o parliament_n but_o go_v on_o so_o as_o you_o have_v do_v and_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v such_o a_o end_n as_o god_n may_v have_v all_o the_o glory_n and_o you_o all_o
