two_o house_n or_o by_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o king_n have_v we_o those_o privilege_n with_o foreign_a prince_n by_o which_o many_o here_o have_v get_v such_o estate_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o house_n or_o by_o the_o protection_n of_o the_o king_n why_o shall_v we_o then_o govern_v the_o city_n by_o the_o direction_n of_o both_o house_n i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o speak_v slight_o of_o any_o person_n get_v into_o authority_n only_o we_o may_v say_v there_o be_v some_o among_o we_o we_o do_v not_o think_v two_o year_n ago_o to_o have_v meet_v here_o and_o yet_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o see_v a_o alderman_n come_v a_o dozen_o year_n off_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o you_o mean_v by_o arbitrary_a power_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o be_v govern_v by_o nothing_o we_o be_v use_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o i_o have_v be_v lord_n major_n myself_o in_o a_o pleasant_a time_n than_o this_o and_o shall_v have_v some_o share_n still_o in_o the_o government_n before_o god_n i_o have_v no_o more_o authority_n in_o the_o city_n than_o a_o porter_n not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o aldermanburic_n porter_n if_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o people_n who_o authority_n we_o know_v not_o and_o by_o rule_n which_o nobody_o ever_o hear_v of_o or_o can_v know_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n we_o have_v as_o much_o of_o it_o as_o heart_n can_v wish_v to_o the_o king_n charge_n of_o our_o contribute_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o army_n which_o have_v give_v he_o battle_n we_o be_v tell_v that_o diverse_a practice_n be_v make_v against_o the_o parliament_n before_o they_o make_v any_o preparation_n for_o their_o defence_n by_o practice_n i_o think_v they_o mean_v fear_n and_o jealousy_n for_o all_o the_o particular_n mention_v by_o he_o we_o know_v and_o be_v understand_v by_o all_o the_o boy_n in_o the_o street_n but_o we_o be_v sure_o there_o be_v ten_o thousand_o man_n raise_v and_o arm_v out_o of_o this_o town_n and_o the_o neighbour_n county_n before_o the_o king_n have_v seven_o hundred_o to_o the_o danger_n the_o king_n person_n be_v in_o at_o the_o thought_n whereof_o every_o honest_a heart_n tremble_v the_o gentleman_n tell_v we_o they_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o i_o dare_v not_o tell_v you_o what_o i_o think_v their_o sorrow_n be_v but_o master_n if_o you_o know_v how_o much_o your_o estate_n and_o be_v depend_v upon_o the_o life_n and_o safety_n of_o our_o good_a king_n you_o will_v no_o soon_o apprehend_v he_o in_o danger_n than_o you_o will_v run_v to_o his_o rescue_n as_o you_o will_v fly_v from_o the_o plague_n and_o beggary_n but_o that_o reproach_n of_o maintain_v the_o king_n child_n here_o i_o confess_v make_v my_o heart_n rise_v i_o hope_v it_o do_v so_o to_o many_o here_o be_v our_o good_a king_n fall_v so_o low_a that_o his_o child_n must_v be_v keep_v for_o he_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o enquiry_n who_o bring_v he_o to_o that_o condition_n we_o hear_v he_o complain_v that_o all_o his_o own_o revenue_n be_v seize_v and_o take_v from_o he_o be_v not_o his_o exchequer_n court_n of_o ward_n mint_n here_o his_o custom_n too_o be_v worth_a somewhat_o and_o be_v his_o child_n keep_v upon_o alm_n how_o shall_v we_o and_o our_o child_n prosper_v if_o this_o be_v not_o remedy_v they_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n endure_v that_o his_o majesty_n be_v obey_v in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o lord_n major_n and_o the_o other_o three_o gentleman_n for_o it_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o both_o house_n that_o this_o demand_n be_v against_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o most_o dishonourable_a to_o the_o city_n for_o the_o first_o i_o dare_v not_o speak_v my_o mind_n though_o i_o must_v confess_v myself_o not_o able_a to_o answer_v the_o king_n reason_n in_o many_o of_o his_o declaration_n upon_o that_o point_n but_o for_o the_o second_o under_o the_o favour_n of_o both_o house_n whether_o it_o be_v dishonourable_a for_o the_o city_n whether_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v or_o no_o we_o be_v the_o best_a indeed_o we_o be_v the_o only_a judge_n i_o will_v take_v the_o liberty_n to_o speak_v free_o my_o conscience_n in_o this_o case_n as_o a_o friend_n to_o justice_n as_o a_o lover_n of_o these_o man_n and_o as_o a_o servant_n to_o the_o city_n and_o as_o all_o these_o i_o protest_v to_o god_n if_o i_o be_v now_o lord_n major_n and_o the_o other_o three_o be_v my_o father_n and_o my_o brother_n i_o will_v satisfy_v the_o king_n in_o this_o point_n do_v his_o majesty_n ask_v to_o have_v they_o put_v to_o death_n mere_o upon_o his_o accusation_n or_o have_v they_o send_v bind_v hand_n and_o foot_n to_o oxford_n where_o it_o may_v be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o proceed_v against_o they_o in_o a_o extraordinary_a way_n it_o may_v seem_v unreasonable_a but_o to_o apprehend_v they_o to_o keep_v they_o in_o safe_a custody_n that_o his_o majesty_n may_v proceed_v against_o they_o according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n under_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o breed_v where_o if_o guilty_a they_o must_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o his_o majesty_n mercy_n if_o innocent_a will_v receive_v a_o honourable_a acquittal_n seem_v to_o i_o so_o just_a in_o the_o king_n to_o ask_v and_o so_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o yield_v to_o that_o the_o deny_v it_o imply_v a_o doubt_n in_o we_o of_o the_o innocence_n of_o those_o who_o we_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o justice_n here_o be_v a_o way_n to_o find_v out_o the_o king_n evil_a counsellor_n if_o these_o man_n do_v their_o part_n like_o man_n of_o good_a conscience_n submit_v to_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o only_a judge_n of_o guilt_n and_o innocence_n and_o be_v find_v clear_a from_o that_o heavy_a charge_n his_o majesty_n accuse_v they_o of_o how_o glorious_o will_v these_o man_n live_v hereafter_o and_o the_o king_n can_v refuse_v to_o deliver_v those_o up_o who_o have_v wicked_o conspire_v the_o destruction_n of_o honest_a man_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v only_o cry_v out_o that_o the_o king_n be_v misinform_v and_o dare_v not_o trust_v ourselves_o upon_o a_o trial_n we_o may_v preserve_v our_o safety_n but_o we_o shall_v lose_v our_o reputation_n thus_o much_o for_o justice_n for_o the_o gentleman_n sake_n now_o this_o way_n you_o see_v a_o way_n to_o honour_n and_o safety_n too_o if_o there_o be_v innocence_n but_o do_v you_o think_v after_o a_o month_n long_o endure_v the_o misery_n which_o be_v now_o upon_o we_o man_n will_v not_o more_o importunate_o and_o impatient_o inquire_v after_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o suffering_n if_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o denial_n to_o give_v up_o four_o man_n who_o it_o may_v be_v be_v not_o of_o any_o know_a merit_n too_o to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o law_n be_v accuse_v of_o high_a treason_n and_o conspire_v to_o take_v away_o the_o king_n life_n incense_v our_o gracious_a king_n against_o we_o and_o keep_v he_o from_o be_v among_o we_o whereby_o our_o trade_n decay_v and_o such_o

be_v imprison_v upon_o a_o general_a charge_n when_o no_o particular_n be_v prove_v against_o they_o how_o insensible_o in_o other_o man_n case_n do_v we_o accuse_v ourselves_o why_o how_o many_o of_o
