the_o character_n of_o a_o right_n malignant_a he_o be_v one_o that_o profess_v love_n to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n but_o hatred_n to_o all_o that_o party_n through_o europe_n which_o maintain_v it_o he_o confess_v that_o the_o irish_a rebel_n be_v too_o blame_v for_o massacre_a 200000._o protestant_n yet_o he_o can_v choose_v but_o wish_v they_o good_a success_n against_o all_o that_o oppose_v they_o especial_o against_o the_o scot_n indeed_o that_o be_v the_o nation_n which_o of_o all_o other_o he_o most_o hate_v ever_o since_o they_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o england_n for_o maintain_v and_o sett_v right_o the_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n of_o both_o kingdom_n the_o spaniard_n he_o love_v better_a than_o englishmen_n heretofore_o use_v to_o do_v by_o reason_n of_o some_o hope_n that_o he_o have_v of_o their_o do_v good_a in_o ireland_n and_o be_v much_o reconcile_v to_o the_o french_a because_o he_o think_v they_o will_v invade_v england_n the_o netherlander_n out_o old_a friend_n and_o confederate_n he_o will_v extreme_o hate_v but_o only_o that_o he_o think_v there_o be_v a_o faction_n among_o they_o which_o be_v not_o very_o right_a to_o england_n he_o protest_v open_o that_o he_o much_o condemn_v those_o lord_n and_o commons_o who_o betray_v their_o trust_n and_o leave_v the_o parliament_n because_o else_o he_o think_v this_o sad_a war_n have_v not_o be_v but_o yet_o he_o hate_v all_o those_o lord_n and_o commons_o who_o continue_v here_o at_o westminster_n only_o for_o do_v that_o which_o he_o condemn_v the_o other_o for_o not_o do_v and_o now_o he_o honour_v those_o who_o he_o confess_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o war_n and_o rail_v daily_o against_o the_o other_o side_n because_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n those_o that_o say_v he_o hate_v a_o parliament_n do_v he_o great_a wrong_n for_o he_o say_v he_o love_v a_o right_a parliament_n which_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o claim_v no_o power_n at_o all_o but_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o bare_a advice_n and_o l●sse_a jurisdiction_n than_o any_o inferior_a court_n of_o judicature_n in_o england_n he_o love_v his_o freedom_n and_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o be_v a_o slave_n but_o he_o very_o believe_v that_o the_o king_n may_v lawful_o take_v away_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v and_o dispose_v of_o all_o man_n fortune_n and_o person_n at_o his_o pleasure_n he_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v as_o absolute_a a_o monarch_n as_o any_o in_o the_o world_n but_o he_o think_v that_o the_o king_n may_v do_v what_o he_o will_v and_o that_o neither_o a_o parliament_n nor_o any_o humane_a power_n may_v resist_v he_o in_o it_o these_o be_v his_o hourly_a dispute_n and_o yet_o sometime_o he_o will_v not_o understand_v they_o to_o be_v his_o own_o tenet_n but_o for_o all_o this_o his_o majesty_n be_v not_o much_o behold_v to_o he_o for_o he_o swear_v that_o if_o he_o think_v the_o king_n will_v do_v any_o thing_n against_o our_o religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n he_o will_v himself_o though_o a_o parliament_n may_v not_o do_v it_o bear_v arm_n against_o he_o and_o very_o believe_v that_o those_o lord_n &_o gentleman_n that_o now_o fight_v against_o the_o parliament_n will_v do_v the_o same_o as_o if_o he_o think_v it_o more_o derogatory_n or_o less_o safe_a for_o his_o majesty_n to_o be_v fair_o keep_v in_o the_o right_a way_n by_o a_o lawful_a convention_n of_o the_o estate_n in_o parliament_n who_o advice_n he_o ought_v to_o follow_v then_o to_o be_v afterward_o enforce_v to_o it_o by_o such_o arm_n as_o no_o man_n will_v doubt_v to_o call_v rebellious_a or_o as_o if_o it_o be_v not_o more_o lawful_a for_o the_o parlia_n to_o stand_v now_o in_o the_o gap_n against_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o king_n evil_a counsellor_n whilst_o there_o be_v such_o a_o gap_n legal_o and_o fair_o open_a then_o for_o private_a person_n to_o force_v open_a such_o a_o gap_n hereafter_o by_o rebellious_a arm_n he_o acknowledge_v that_o queen_n elizabeth_n be_v a_o glorious_a prince_n but_o of_o all_o her_o action_n he_o remember_v none_o so_o well_o as_o that_o when_o she_o seize_v wentworth_n in_o the_o parliament_n house_n and_o commit_v he_o to_o prison_n he_o love_v those_o member_n of_o the_o house_n which_o be_v now_o go_v away_o from_o it_o and_o among_o other_o those_o who_o at_o first_o stand_v fierce_o for_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o be_v since_o take_v off_o by_o honour_n and_o preferment_n from_o the_o king_n but_o those_o which_o have_v still_o continue_v constant_a to_o their_o first_o position_n he_o disparage_v and_o say_v it_o be_v because_o the_o king_n will_v not_o take_v they_o off_o by_o such_o honour_n and_o preferment_n and_o that_o which_o they_o do_v be_v do_v upon_o such_o hope_n so_o that_o he_o honour_v those_o which_o have_v apparent_o be_v corrupt_v to_o forsake_v the_o parliament_n and_o condemn_v those_o which_o have_v not_o do_v it_o because_o he_o think_v they_o will_v have_v do_v it_o and_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v so_o but_o by_o see_v the_o quite_o contrary_a it_o appear_v therefore_o that_o he_o account_v desert_v the_o parliament_n upon_o such_o end_n to_o be_v a_o fault_n for_o else_o he_o will_v not_o charge_v it_o by_o his_o conjecture_n upon_o those_o man_n here_o who_o by_o that_o conjecture_n he_o labour_v to_o disparage_v and_o yet_o love_v that_o fault_n in_o the_o other_o when_o he_o want_v action_n to_o condemn_v the_o parliament_n side_n for_o he_o do_v it_o upon_o his_o own_o supposition_n he_o call_v those_o hypocrite_n who_o lead_v a_o godly_a life_n and_o though_o he_o think_v it_o a_o great_a uncharitableness_n in_o those_o godly_a man_n to_o censure_v he_o for_o live_v loose_o he_o think_v it_o no_o uncharity_n in_o himself_o to_o censure_v they_o for_o profess_v godliness_n he_o pry_v narrow_o to_o find_v fault_n on_o th●_n side_n and_o publish_v they_o with_o great_a eagerness_n but_o when_o he_o find_v virtuous_a action_n instead_o of_o fault_n he_o say_v they_o be_v do_v for_o sinister_a end_n when_o general_n lesley_n be_v likely_a to_o take_v newcastle_n he_o be_v every_o where_o prophesy_a what_o cruelty_n the_o scot_n will_v use_v in_o pillage_n the_o town_n but_o when_o it_o be_v apparent_a what_o extraordinary_a humanity_n the_o scot_n show_v there_o though_o it_o have_v cost_v they_o a_o sharp_a assault_n to_o win_v he_o say_v they_o do_v it_o for_o subtle_a end_n though_o he_o can_v name_v none_o be_v equal_o unjust_a in_o his_o first_o false_a supposition_n as_o in_o his_o last_o false_a aspersion_n upon_o a_o good_a action_n it_o be_v as_o impossible_a that_o any_o good_a deed_n on_o this_o side_n shall_v gain_v his_o applause_n as_o that_o any_o bad_a one_o at_o the_o other_o side_n shall_v incur_v his_o censure_n there_o be_v some_o sin_n which_o he_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v very_o usual_a at_o the_o other_o side_n and_o think_v nothing_o of_o it_o and_o yet_o the_o same_o sin_n when_o he_o find_v they_o commit_v at_o this_o side_n he_o mighty_o condemn_v and_o jeer_n which_o be_v a_o tacit_a acknowledgement_n that_o the_o profession_n of_o this_o side_n be_v more_o virtuous_a and_o vice_n more_o repugnant_a to_o it_o then_o to_o the_o other_o there_o be_v no_o vice_n can_v make_v he_o out_o of_o love_n with_o that_o side_n which_o he_o now_o adhere_v to_o though_o in_o other_o thing_n he_o show_v little_a constancy_n for_o there_o be_v no_o position_n hold_v by_o the_o parliaside_n which_o he_o now_o so_o much_o contradict_v as_o those_o which_o himself_o hold_v four_o year_n ago_o nor_o no_o great_a person_n in_o state_n who_o he_o then_o hate_v as_o suppose_v they_o evil_a instrument_n in_o the_o government_n who_o he_o do_v not_o now_o applaud_v though_o they_o continue_v the_o same_o man_n but_o will_v you_o see_v more_o of_o his_o constancy_n the_o barbarous_a cruelty_n of_o the_o irish_a rebel_n he_o detest_v much_o about_o november_n be_v three_o year_n but_o within_o a_o year_n after_o he_o become_v much_o reconcile_v to_o they_o and_o do_v not_o only_o spare_v to_o condemn_v they_o himself_o but_o account_v it_o a_o great_a cruelty_n and_o uncharitableness_n in_o the_o protestant_n hear_v to_o be_v so_o bitter_a against_o they_o but_o about_o a_o year_n after_o that_o they_o become_v friend_n and_o those_o rebel_n and_o he_o both_o of_o a_o side_n neither_o in_o reason_n for_o favour_v of_o those_o irish_a can_v he_o be_v think_v loyal_a to_o his_o majesty_n for_o see_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v the_o king_n have_v the_o great_a loss_n of_o all_o man_n when_o so_o many_o of_o his_o own_o subject_n and_o of_o his_o own_o religion_n be_v cruel_o butcher_v those_o that_o take_v and_o still_o take_v the_o king_n loss_n most_o to_o heart_n be_v the_o true_a and_o most_o loyal_a subject_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o the_o parliament_n who_o be_v still_o enemy_n to_o those_o rebel_n and_o desirous_a to_o revenge_v their_o brethren_n blood_n which_o undoubted_o cry_v aloud_o to_o god_n must_v be_v better_a protestant_n and_o true_a subject_n than_o those_o that_o join_v with_o they_o and_o fight_v or_o wish_v at_o the_o same_o side_n the_o paradox_n which_o he_o hold_v be_v very_o strange_a as_o namely_o that_o those_o army_n which_o fight_v against_o the_o parliament_n fight_v for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o yet_o that_o no_o papist_n domestic_a or_o foreign_a but_o have_v reason_n to_o adhere_v to_o that_o side_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o other_o that_o a_o parliament_n will_v destroy_v the_o liberty_n and_o privilege_n of_o itself_o with_o other_o paradox_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o which_o nothing_o can_v so_o well_o inform_v you_o as_o his_o own_o discourse_n for_o unless_o you_o take_v they_o from_o himself_o they_o be_v too_o strange_a for_o another_o man_n to_o believe_v much_o more_o to_o invent_v
