and_o elencticus_fw-la the_o former_a for_o a_o watery_a and_o slight_a kind_n of_o bitterness_n season_v for_o the_o most_o with_o profane_a sentence_n of_o holy_a writ_n who_o abuse_n be_v all_o

at_o the_o parliament_n itself_o and_o with_o a_o rascally_a comparison_n endeavour_v to_o make_v all_o the_o bitterness_n that_o can_v be_v empty_v against_o they_o to_o serve_v as_o a_o foil_n to_o set_v of_o the_o king_n who_o it_o do_v rather_o injure_v by_o how_o much_o he_o lay_v to_o his_o charge_n those_o virtue_n which_o either_o be_v not_o find_v or_o be_v awanting_a in_o he_o and_o paint_v he_o with_o those_o colour_n which_o any_o body_n that_o be_v not_o bias_v may_v see_v be_v adulterate_a and_o belong_v not_o to_o he_o so_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n his_o dispraise_n be_v scurrilous_o libellous_a and_o not_o to_o be_v believe_v his_o encomium_n on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v mere_o petitionary_a and_o not_o to_o be_v grant_v by_o any_o one_o that_o have_v the_o least_o notice_n of_o the_o action_n and_o carriage_n of_o this_o king_n §_o vi_o but_o because_o a_o general_a answer_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o satisfy_v particular_a instance_n we_o will_v run_v over_o the_o particular_n and_o see_v by_o what_o truth_n nay_o discretion_n they_o can_v be_v make_v good_a yet_o must_v we_o profess_v to_o retain_v all_o reverence_n to_o the_o king_n person_n

state_n of_o a_o lesser_a stand_n can_v as_o either_o be_v employ_v in_o other_o affair_n or_o else_o for_o the_o present_v not_o willing_a to_o note_v they_o withal_o in_o the_o former_a case_n the_o revenue_n be_v settle_v and_o certain_a which_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o late_a although_o there_o be_v much_o the_o more_o occasion_n which_o may_v cause_v some_o unusual_a levy_n yet_o without_o the_o imputation_n of_o tyranny_n §_o ix_o so_o that_o be_v it_o true_a what_o the_o pamphleteer_n say_v that_o the_o people_n be_v weary_a of_o the_o oppression_n and_o slavery_n which_o he_o say_v they_o now_o groan_v under_o it_o may_v be_v rather_o their_o own_o inconsideracy_n then_o the_o misgovernment_n of_o this_o parliament_n who_o yet_o as_o be_v but_o man_n and_o walk_v in_o slippery_a time_n i_o suppose_v no_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o justify_v in_o every_o particular_a yet_o for_o set_v up_o any_o arbitrary_a or_o tyrannical_a government_n the_o best_a of_o they_o will_v as_o much_o loath_a the_o thought_n of_o it_o as_o the_o worst_a will_v fear_v to_o attempt_v it_o §_o x._o but_o how_o do_v they_o oppose_v a_o gracious_a etc._n etc._n king_n when_o all_o their_o endeavour_n have_v hitherto_o be_v to_o draw_v he_o from_o those_o counselor_n which_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o his_o own_o party_n have_v be_v too_o prevalent_a with_o he_o and_o have_v we_o any_o leisure_n to_o make_v long_a reflection_n on_o the_o late_a war_n it_o be_v no_o difficulty_n to_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o stubbornness_n and_o averseness_n of_o he_o and_o his_o party_n draw_v it_o out_o to_o that_o length_n though_o the_o pamphlet_n charge_v the_o people_n that_o they_o embrace_v a_o unnatural_a and_o bloody_a war._n §_o xi_o the_o people_n be_v also_o charge_v to_o abandon_v all_o order_n ecclesiastical_a as_o if_o take_v away_o of_o bishop_n who_o gross_a enormity_n become_v the_o outcry_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n reduce_v we_o into_o a_o anarchy_n or_o the_o take_n away_o of_o superstitious_a ceremony_n not_o only_o burdensome_a to_o tender_a conscience_n innovate_v against_o law_n bring_v profaneness_n upon_o we_o and_o shake_v the_o frame_n of_o all_o divine_a worship_n and_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o no_o government_n can_v suit_v with_o this_o nation_n but_o monarchy_n it_o be_v grant_v only_o we_o desire_v it_o may_v not_o be_v muscovitish_fw-mi or_o turkish_a and_o we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o parallel_n §_o xii_o we_o know_v and_o the_o deadly_a enemy_n he_o have_v have_v acknowledge_v that_o his_o majesty_n conform_v himself_o unto_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o these_o tyrant_n at_o their_o pleasure_n trample_v on_o this_o fellow_n either_o not_o understand_v or_o explain_v not_o what_o he_o mean_v in_o that_o place_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n nor_o can_v we_o till_o we_o be_v as_o wise_a as_o he_o make_v a_o answer_n to_o it_o only_o if_o he_o understand_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o school_n it_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a acknowledgement_n every_o king_n have_v other_o law_n whereby_o to_o govern_v but_o why_o do_v he_o not_o instance_n wherein_o the_o tyrant_n as_o he_o call_v they_o do_v trample_v on_o they_o for_o by_o general_a crimination_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o overthrow_v the_o best_a integrity_n §_o xiii_o the_o king_n respect_v religion_n justice_n and_o faith_n whereas_o they_o regard_v neither_o god_n faith_n nor_o law_n for_o the_o king_n religion_n we_o refer_v it_o to_o that_o power_n who_o best_o know_v it_o for_o his_o justice_n whether_o all_o the_o act_n of_o his_o reign_n fall_v under_o that_o note_n or_o no_o may_v be_v soon_o inquire_v for_o his_o faith_n which_o we_o must_v interpret_v to_o be_v keep_v of_o promise_n it_o be_v well_o enough_o know_a how_o contrary_a his_o declaration_n and_o letter_n have_v be_v one_o to_o another_o for_o the_o parliament_n regard_v of_o god_n his_o mercy_n to_o they_o so_o many_o and_o so_o continue_v show_v they_o not_o unsincere_a for_o their_o regard_n of_o faith_n tax_v they_o if_o thou_o can_v with_o any_o breach_n of_o promise_n for_o their_o regard_n of_o law_n to_o what_o end_n have_v they_o fight_v so_o long_o but_o to_o rescue_v it_o from_o oppression_n and_o how_o can_v they_o not_o regard_v that_o whereof_o they_o be_v the_o maker_n but_o indeed_o there_o be_v a_o height_n of_o malice_n in_o this_o expression_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o say_v against_o the_o devil_n himself_o §_o xiiii_o the_o king_n refer_v all_o his_o action_n to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o safety_n of_o his_o subject_n whereas_o the_o other_o respect_v nothing_o more_o than_o their_o own_o particular_a profit_n pleasure_n and_o revenge_n if_o the_o king_n refer_v all_o his_o action_n etc._n etc._n he_o

some_o particular_n we_o wish_v we_o can_v deny_v but_o for_o the_o general_a it_o be_v a_o imputation_n that_o a_o deadly_a enemy_n will_v hardly_o charge_v they_o withal_o §_o xv._o the_o king_n
