against_o the_o collective_a wisdom_n of_o a_o nation_n to_o term_v the_o action_n of_o a_o heroic_a house_n of_o commons_o irregularity_n miscarriage_n illegal_a and_o unwarrantable_a proceed_v this_o be_v too_o high_a a_o affront_n to_o be_v forget_v for_o though_o we_o print_v our_o vote_n and_o discover_v our_o secret_n on_o purpose_n to_o inflame_v the_o little_a sister_n yet_o for_o the_o king_n to_o expose_v the_o pudenda_fw-la or_o nakedness_n of_o the_o people_n member_n in_o church_n and_o market_n to_o be_v observe_v and_o scoff_v at_o by_o crowd_n of_o tory_n this_o be_v uncivil_a and_o immodest_a nay_o about_o two_o year_n ago_o i_o will_v have_v call_v it_o impudence_n but_o that_o which_o add_v to_o my_o vexation_n be_v the_o prelatical_a order_n for_o read_v of_o it_o in_o the_o pulpit_n if_o it_o have_v be_v denounce_v below_o the_o mount_n in_o the_o despise_a service-desk_n it_o will_v have_v have_v no_o impression_n or_o solemnity_n but_o be_v publish_v from_o the_o sanctum_fw-la sanctorum_fw-la of_o the_o pulpit_n that_o most_o sacred_a seat_n of_o oracle_n this_o make_v it_o pass_v for_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o because_o the_o voice_n come_v from_o the_o pulpit_n some_o silly_a people_n be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o declaration_n be_v make_v in_o heaven_n this_o be_v a_o metropolitan_a stratagem_n and_o shall_v be_v record_v for_o the_o first_o article_n against_o william_n the_o second_o pope_n but_o i_o be_o inform_v that_o there_o be_v a_o use_n of_o consolation_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o that_o declaration_n wherein_o the_o king_n promise_v the_o people_n the_o favour_n of_o frequent_a parliament_n phan._n in_o my_o opinion_n that_o be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o favour_n except_o we_o can_v sit_v again_o next_o door_n to_o hell_n where_o we_o may_v correspond_v with_o our_o old_a familiar_n but_o however_o frequent_a parliament_n suppose_v frequent_a dissolution_n and_o one_o good_a old_a fashion_a long_a parliament_n be_v worth_a 500_o frequent_a one_o pope_n but_o i_o hope_v you_o do_v not_o despond_v and_o give_v up_o the_o common_a cause_n as_o desperate_a phan._n i_o will_v never_o despair_v as_o long_o as_o you_o have_v a_o be_v in_o the_o world_n for_o i_o yet_o find_v there_o be_v a_o infallibility_n in_o your_o name_n the_o cry_a pope_n and_o popery_n be_v still_o the_o sure_a stratagem_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o successful_a plot_n without_o that_o infallible_a noise_n but_o that_o which_o most_o support_v my_o hope_n be_v the_o king_n want_n of_o money_n the_o fort_n royal_a be_v defend_v by_o so_o many_o cannon_n and_o regular_a fortification_n that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o take_v it_o but_o starve_v and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o have_v by_o a_o solemn_a vote_n make_v it_o treason_n against_o the_o parliament_n for_o the_o king_n or_o his_o friend_n to_o supply_v his_o need_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o his_o enemy_n for_o if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o zeal_n money_n or_o perjury_n we_o will_v send_v he_o such_o commons_o as_o shall_v never_o grant_v he_o a_o penny_n except_o he_o stake_v his_o crown_n or_o some_o of_o the_o jewel_n of_o it_o pope_n i_o will_v have_v you_o declare_v in_o all_o the_o high_a court_n of_o shop_n and_o coffeehouse_n that_o a_o parliament_n be_v as_o necessary_a to_o raise_v money_n in_o england_n as_o a_o purgatory_n at_o rome_n but_o i_o be_o afraid_a your_o church_n of_o england_n tory_n have_v no_o more_o regard_n to_o vote_n than_o you_o have_v for_o proclamation_n and_o you_o have_v so_o alarm_v they_o by_o your_o late_a arbitrary_a proceed_n that_o i_o be_o jealous_a that_o they_o shall_v rather_o think_v it_o their_o interest_n to_o make_v a_o honourable_a and_o timely_a composition_n with_o the_o crown_n by_o some_o considerable_a benevolence_n than_o run_v the_o adventure_n to_o be_v plunder_v by_o your_o troop_n and_o sequester_v by_o your_o committee_n i_o do_v allow_v your_o indisputable_a maxim_n that_o the_o poverty_n of_o the_o king_n be_v the_o interest_n of_o a_o presbyterian_a house_n of_o commons_o and_o you_o have_v wise_o ordain_v that_o though_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v reduce_v to_o the_o straight_a exigency_n yet_o he_o must_v not_o so_o much_o as_o ask_v a_o alm_n and_o if_o necessity_n shall_v teach_v he_o the_o common_a impudence_n to_o be_v a_o beggar_n yet_o you_o have_v politic_o resolve_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o crime_n to_o be_v charitable_a to_o the_o crown_n without_o the_o leave_n of_o the_o commons_o those_o high_a almoner_n of_o england_n but_o brother_n the_o mischief_n be_v that_o you_o do_v once_o contribute_v your_o money_n and_o plate_n to_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n against_o the_o king_n without_o a_o statute_n of_o parliament_n now_o this_o may_v become_v a_o unlucky_a precedent_n and_o if_o ever_o the_o cavalier_n come_v to_o be_v consider_v animal_n they_o may_v chance_v to_o conclude_v that_o they_o may_v as_o free_o give_v their_o gold_n to_o support_v the_o hand_n of_o moses_n as_o you_o do_v to_o make_v the_o golden_a calf_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o that_o it_o be_v more_o religion_n and_o loyalty_n in_o their_o prince_n extremity_n to_o contribute_v their_o money_n without_o a_o parliament_n to_o preserve_v the_o king_n and_o monarchy_n than_o it_o be_v for_o you_o to_o destroy_v they_o both_o by_o a_o arbitrary_a contribution_n now_o this_o be_v the_o fatal_a crisis_n of_o our_o cause_n be_v sure_a you_o maintain_v with_o all_o possible_a confidence_n that_o for_o any_o one_o to_o cast_v in_o his_o free-will-offering_n into_o the_o treasury_n or_o corban_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v will-worship_n and_o popery_n and_o as_o antichristian_a a_o superstition_n as_o alm_n and_o charity_n i_o wonder_v you_o have_v so_o long_o allow_v the_o king_n that_o imperial_a prerogative_n to_o be_v the_o sole_a lord_n of_o the_o mint_n it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o mighty_a policy_n and_o advantage_n if_o you_o can_v have_v share_v in_o that_o authority_n and_o enact_v that_o the_o coin_n of_o england_n shall_v have_v have_v the_o image_n of_o the_o king_n stamp_v on_o one_o side_n and_o the_o superscription_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n on_o the_o other_o this_o will_v have_v be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o he_o can_v never_o have_v have_v any_o money_n without_o you_o there_o be_v a_o apocryphal_a passage_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o christ_n and_o st._n peter_n shall_v pay_v tribute_n to_o caesar_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o sanhedrim_n and_o shall_v tell_v the_o jew_n they_o be_v oblige_v to_o do_v so_o too_o because_o the_o money_n have_v the_o image_n and_o superscription_n of_o caesar_n which_o do_v suppose_v their_o subjection_n to_o he_o and_o his_o entire_a authority_n over_o they_o and_o i_o observe_v that_o charles_n the_o second_o in_o his_o english_a coin_n be_v stamp_v more_o romano_n and_o his_o image_n look_v like_o the_o ancient_a figure_n of_o caesar_n augustus_n i_o wish_v this_o be_v not_o ominous_a phan._n peter_n calling_n the_o king_n supreme_a and_o his_o example_n and_o paul_n command_n of_o pay_v tribute_n to_o emperor_n because_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o care_n in_o government_n do_v no_o way_n concern_v you_o or_o i_o for_o you_o know_v there_o be_v no_o pope_n nor_o parliament_n in_o those_o day_n of_o primitive_a christianity_n pope_n you_o have_v answer_v like_o a_o oracle_n but_o suppose_v the_o cavalier_n shall_v be_v such_o fool_n as_o to_o shut_v their_o purse_n till_o you_o cut_v they_o open_a and_o keep_v their_o money_n till_o they_o lose_v their_o land_n though_o they_o shall_v not_o present_v their_o oblation_n yet_o the_o unwilling_a sacrifice_n of_o our_o estate_n which_o will_v be_v draw_v from_o we_o by_o the_o cord_n of_o penal_a law_n will_v help_v to_o enrich_v the_o

phan._n i_o hope_v to_o prevent_v all_o these_o mischief_n in_o the_o next_o session_n of_o parliament_n pope_n but_o i_o be_o afraid_a that_o your_o elect_a member_n have_v be_v so_o often_o
