four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n we_o have_v render_v ourselves_o master_n of_o election_n and_o thus_o by_o a_o immortal_a opposition_n betwixt_o king_n and_o parliament_n we_o have_v render_v the_o constitution_n unpracticable_a and_o reduce_v the_o government_n to_o this_o dilemma_n that_o either_o we_o must_v have_v a_o king_n without_o a_o parliament_n which_o be_v a_o english_a impossibility_n or_o else_o a_o parliament_n without_o a_o king_n and_o for_o that_o you_o know_v we_o have_v a_o precedent_n and_o therefore_o the_o hope_n and_o advantage_n lie_v on_o our_o side_n pope_n if_o you_o can_v give_v these_o elect_a creature_n of_o you_o a_o fix_a be_v or_o a_o politic_a immortality_n all_o be_v do_v but_o the_o king_n perverse_o retain_v that_o reprobate_v power_n of_o prorogation_n and_o dissolution_n and_o begin_v to_o learn_v how_o and_o when_o to_o use_v it_o phan._n this_o indeed_o be_v the_o great_a difficulty_n of_o our_o affair_n but_o to_o master_v this_o we_o must_v use_v all_o imaginable_a art_n to_o distress_v the_o king_n for_o as_o we_o can_v have_v a_o parliament_n without_o the_o king_n so_o he_o can_v have_v no_o money_n without_o we_o now_o to_o bring_v he_o into_o necessity_n we_o will_v invite_v our_o friend_n in_o barbary_n to_o infest_v the_o sea_n and_o our_o protestant_a neighbour_n have_v late_o furnish_v they_o with_o ammunition_n for_o that_o purpose_n you_o must_v by_o your_o nuncio_n at_o paris_n prevent_v the_o league_n with_o france_n and_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o my_o friend_n and_o interest_n to_o

the_o artifice_n of_o petition_v and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o have_v the_o nation_n agree_v in_o one_o common_a form_n of_o prayer_n to_o god_n almighty_a yet_o i_o will_v persuade_v all_o the_o

have_v a_o parliament_n of_o your_o own_o family_n you_o shall_v have_v sweet_o dissemble_v your_o design_n and_o wrought_v the_o mine_n under_o ground_n and_o not_o give_v such_o open_a defiance_n to_o prerogative_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o king_n cast_v himself_o into_o the_o arm_n of_o his_o parliament_n and_o then_o you_o may_v have_v kill_v he_o with_o embrace_n you_o shall_v

he_o to_o the_o judgment-hall_n for_o now_o your_o bare-faced_n affrontery_n have_v render_v he_o jealous_a of_o your_o design_n and_o may_v put_v he_o upon_o some_o desperate_a counsel_n to_o
