and_o i_o hope_v his_o majesty_n that_o now_o be_v will_v not_o be_v offend_v if_o i_o speak_v my_o conscience_n in_o it_o that_o it_o be_v neither_o honourable_a safe_a nor_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o break_v this_o oath_n of_o his_o coronation_n nor_o indeed_o can_v it_o be_v disannul_v but_o there_o must_v follow_v a_o wonderful_a and_o dangerous_a metamorphosis_n in_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o government_n of_o england_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o my_o reason_n for_o all_o this_o when_o you_o can_v pretend_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v but_o the_o show_n of_o reason_n law_n or_o religion_n against_o it_o though_o you_o say_v this_o also_o may_v be_v change_v by_o his_o royal_a assent_n to_o the_o counsel_n and_o desire_v of_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n as_o this_o

house_n will_v never_o counsel_v nor_o desire_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o will_v never_o yield_v his_o royal_a assent_n and_o i_o know_v not_o why_o you_o shall_v look_v for_o more_o from_o king_n charles_n the_o ii_o who_o will_v doubtless_o make_v use_n of_o his_o pious_a father_n advice_n to_o he_o in_o his_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o it_o be_v not_o christian_n like_a for_o you_o to_o attempt_v to_o divert_v he_o from_o it_o but_o where_o have_v his_o majesty_n and_o his_o two_o house_n be_v these_o many_o year_n to_o do_v it_o the_o way_n you_o propound_v to_o change_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v and_o i_o believe_v never_o shall_v have_v be_v if_o you_o can_v have_v help_v it_o you_o have_v a_o short_a cut_n by_o your_o covenant_n to_o effect_v it_o without_o the_o royal_a assent_n and_o upper-house_n for_o you_o will_v have_v none_o and_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o you_o like_v it_o now_o can_v the_o legislative_a power_n change_v government_n by_o bishop_n as_o well_o as_o abrogate_v other_o law_n this_o be_v to_o charge_v some_o with_o perjury_n who_o he_o dare_v not_o name_n to_o fright_v

may_v not_o abrogate_v your_o covenant_n but_o it_o must_v be_v like_o the_o law_n of_o the_o mede_n and_o persian_n that_o alter_v not_o no_o royal_a assent_n nor_o two_o house_n must_v meddle_v with_o that_o but_o you_o scare_v all_o with_o bugbear_n and_o man_n of_o clout_n pretend_v that_o god_n will_v revenge_v the_o breach_n of_o that_o and_o yet_o you_o break_v the_o rest_n and_o fear_v
