be_v illegal_a i_o answer_v that_o for_o the_o parliament_n into_o who_o hand_n we_o have_v commit_v our_o estate_n and_o trust_v of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n to_o demand_v part_n of_o our_o estate_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n against_o a_o malignant_a army_n of_o papist_n delinquent_n and_o traitor_n raise_v up_o to_o destroy_v the_o religion_n and_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o compel_v the_o payment_n by_o a_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n to_o save_v our_o law_n religion_n liberty_n and_o life_n be_v not_o against_o law_n neither_o against_o their_o promise_n make_v to_o we_o to_o protect_v we_o against_o all_o arbitrary_a power_n whatsoever_o 3_o whereas_o you_o say_v have_v we_o bear_v the_o illegality_n of_o the_o shipmoney_n even_o to_o the_o period_n of_o we_o and_o our_o child_n day_n it_o have_v never_o lie_v so_o heavy_a upon_o we_o as_o this_o one_o of_o the_o twenty_o i_o answer_v that_o for_o the_o illegality_n of_o the_o shipmoney_n i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o speech_n of_o master_n saint_n john_n and_o many_o other_o member_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o the_o large_a treaty_n vote_n and_o act_n of_o parliament_n against_o it_o and_o for_o this_o twenty_o part_n now_o cess_v for_o the_o just_a cause_n aforesaid_a for_o which_o purpose_n the_o parliament_n have_v appoint_v honest_a sufficient_a and_o well_o affect_v man_n to_o judge_v of_o our_o estate_n the_o best_a course_n to_o defend_v the_o lawful_a right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n against_o the_o cavalier_n in_o their_o traitorous_a tyranny_n 4_o you_o say_v there_o be_v a_o guilt_n that_o gnaw_v we_o for_o that_o it_o be_v employ_v against_o our_o lawful_a king_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o be_v it_o employ_v against_o h●s_n majesty_n it_o will_v do_v so_o i_o can_v hearty_o wish_v that_o justice_n may_v have_v its_o course_n to_o try_v whether_o the_o earl_n of_o newcastle_n etc._n etc._n or_o the_o parliament_n force_n be_v employ_v against_o his_o majesty_n that_o so_o all_o those_o robber_n plunderer_n and_o spoiler_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o good_a people_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o punishment_n and_o where_o can_v this_o be_v do_v more_o perfect_o then_o where_o the_o fountain_n of_o law_n be_v in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n 5_o another_o thing_n you_o question_n be_v this_o as_o often_o as_o any_o order_n have_v issue_v out_o from_o either_o or_o both_o house_n since_o the_o discern_a spirit_n of_o our_o good_a king_n who_o god_n have_v set_v over_o we_o have_v be_v absent_a bath_n not_o the_o event_n be_v prophanesse_n murder_n &_o disloyalty_n in_o the_o high_a kind_n not_o only_o not_o to_o assist_v but_o to_o resist_v the_o high_a power_n to_o satisfy_v this_o your_o query_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o prophanesse_n murder_n and_o disloyalty_n do_v then_o begin_v when_o such_o order_n begin_v to_o be_v slight_v scorn_v and_o neglect_v by_o a_o malignant_a party_n and_o popish_a army_n and_o by_o work_v and_o increase_v a_o dislike_n and_o dissaffection_n in_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o people_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n and_o by_o the_o scandalize_a of_o their_o proceed_n which_o be_v the_o great_a disloyalty_n of_o all_o to_o the_o king_n who_o be_v great_a sit_v in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n with_o those_o high_a power_n ordain_v of_o god_n the_o resistance_n of_o who_o ordinance_n be_v just_o censure_v with_o just_a condemnation_n you_o tell_v we_o that_o as_o oft_o as_o your_o impiety_n have_v for_o your_o sin_n seem_v to_o prosper_v so_o oft_o have_v thanks_o be_v give_v to_o almighty_a god_n it_o seem_v your_o thank_n to_o god_n have_v be_v as_o full_a of_o hypocrisy_n as_o your_o protestation_n to_o we_o and_o sure_o we_o can_v but_o think_v it_o great_a impiety_n and_o sin_n in_o that_o party_n of_o papist_n atheist_n and_o profane_a wretch_n that_o under_o pretence_n of_o fight_v for_o the_o old_a religion_n establish_v by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n shall_v go_v about_o to_o undermine_v kill_v and_o destroy_v both_o religion_n and_o law_n and_o although_o such_o may_v prosper_v sometime_o yet_o god_n will_v undoubted_o find_v a_o time_n for_o a_o account_n hereof_o 7_o you_o say_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o time_n past_a be_v mark_n of_o prosperity_n be_v now_o badge_n of_o calamity_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o there_o be_v never_o any_o parliament_n so_o abuse_v indeed_o gundomer_n boast_v in_o spain_n that_o there_o be_v quoth_v he_o so_o many_o about_o the_o king_n who_o blow_v this_o coal_n fear_v their_o own_o stake_n if_o a_o parliament_n shall_v inquire_v into_o their_o action_n that_o they_o use_v all_o their_o art_n and_o industry_n to_o withstand_v such_o a_o council_n thus_o have_v prosperity_n to_o this_o day_n be_v veil_v from_o our_o eye_n since_o the_o scorn_n and_o reproach_n of_o malignant_n against_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n have_v be_v make_v the_o badge_n of_o our_o public_a calamity_n for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o parliament_n they_o be_v not_o cry_v up_o by_o new_a and_o strange_a flattery_n of_o base_a and_o abject_a sufferance_n but_o obey_v according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o parliament_n and_o as_o according_a to_o law_n they_o ought_v real_o to_o be_v by_o all_o noble_a spirit_n and_o true_a heart_a protestant_n which_o no_o subject_n dare_v ever_o oppose_v but_o papist_n priest_n and_o jesuit_n rebel_n and_o traitor_n not_o as_o if_o we_o tie_v our_o faith_n to_o their_o sleeve_n neither_o but_o as_o obedient_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o their_o lawful_a ordinance_n but_o for_o such_o who_o do_v thus_o rebel_v their_o garment_n be_v spot_v with_o that_o filthiness_n from_o which_o we_o that_o have_v obey_v have_v be_v wash_v for_o the_o king_n majesty_n i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o master_n pym_v love_n and_o honour_n to_o he_o do_v as_o far_o transcend_v you_o as_o we_o the_o antipode_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n he_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o house_n have_v labour_v not_o like_o basilisk_n to_o flatter_v but_o like_o faithful_a counsellor_n to_o make_v he_o true_o a_o mighty_a and_o a_o happy_a king_n and_o such_o hope_n have_v we_o have_v and_o i_o doubt_v not_o shall_v have_v again_o when_o his_o majesty_n return_v that_o he_o will_v by_o this_o parliament_n bring_v forth_o a_o unexampled_a and_o every_o where_o envy_v happiness_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n to_o muzzle_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o pretender_n and_o to_o establish_v our_o peace_n all_o which_o be_v their_o labour_n and_o study_v but_o you_o put_v unto_o he_o a_o strange_a question_n will_v we_o say_v

trample_v on_o we_o it_o be_v true_a enough_o that_o we_o be_v deal_v with_o by_o cunning_a sophistry_n with_o their_o odious_a treason_n do_v not_o the_o very_a tenant_n of_o popery_n teach_v we_o to_o rid_v ourselves_o of_o our_o allegiance_n which_o the_o parliament_n have_v labour_v to_o prevent_v by_o protestation_n and_o wholesome_a ordinance_n and_o for_o the_o par●●ng_n with_o the_o

you_o have_v do_v the_o parliament_n be_v not_o client_n for_o themselves_o neither_o do_v they_o shadow_v themselves_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o people_n by_o large_a term_n of_o religion_n
