the_o masterpiece_n of_o roundhead_n or_o a_o explanation_n and_o declaration_n of_o the_o right_a roundhead_n in_o deed_n and_o such_o as_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v the_o true_a roundhead_n by_o all_o consent_n and_o act_n of_o parliament_n write_a by_o a_o wellwisher_a to_o king_n parliament_z religion_n and_o state_n there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a noise_n and_o rumour_n about_o the_o appellation_n and_o name_n of_o roundhead_n but_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o apparent_a neither_o by_o ancient_n or_o modern_a writer_n what_o these_o roundhead_n shall_v be_v neither_o to_o what_o use_n or_o mean_v this_o name_n or_o appellation_n be_v apply_v or_o on_o what_o it_o be_v bestow_v or_o mean_v if_o it_o be_v intend_v by_o the_o author_n that_o first_o devise_v this_o name_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v attribute_v and_o construe_v to_o the_o plain_a and_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o word_n as_o it_o be_v a_o primitive_a word_n and_o literal_o then_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o all_o man_n as_o they_o have_v roundhead_n although_o some_o head_n be_v round_a than_o other_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o round_a shoulder_n he_o be_v call_v round_o shoulder_v and_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o bottlenose_n he_o be_v call_v a_o bottlenose_n and_o so_o likewise_o in_o all_o the_o like_a occasion_n man_n may_v be_v term_v by_o such_o name_n and_o appellation_n and_o so_o in_o this_o construction_n only_o thou_o that_o first_o set_v forth_o this_o name_n of_o round-head_n shall_v be_v so_o term_v and_o myself_o likewise_o will_v be_v thy_o brother_n round-head_n so_o likewise_o all_o man_n in_o christendom_n be_v term_v christian_n although_o some_o be_v good_a and_o some_o bad_a some_o of_o one_o opinion_n and_o some_o of_o another_o some_o papist_n some_o brownist_n some_o anabaptist_n etc._n etc._n yet_o all_o brother_n in_o christ_n now_o as_o in_o this_o sense_n all_o man_n may_v be_v term_v by_o the_o name_n of_o roundhead_n it_o must_v not_o be_v understand_v and_o conceive_v that_o the_o author_n do_v intend_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o term_v or_o repute_v but_o he_o have_v a_o further_a reach_n to_o attribute_v this_o name_n as_o a_o nickename_n or_o a_o scandal_n to_o some_o particular_a person_n which_o opinion_n very_o be_v by_o all_o or_o most_o man_n conceive_v and_o not_o to_o the_o sense_n or_o construction_n of_o a_o primitive_a word_n only_o for_o that_o be_v nothing_o but_o as_o may_v be_v understand_v of_o all_o man_n alike_o now_o then_o good_a brother_n round-head_n for_o so_o we_o be_v all_o in_o the_o primitive_a word_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o express_v your_o understanding_n herein_o if_o you_o have_v any_o understanding_n and_o to_o unfold_v that_o which_o have_v so_o long_o be_v hide_v and_o not_o unmask_v and_o that_o you_o and_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v confess_v who_o be_v the_o right_a roundhead_n you_o mean_v in_o particular_a for_o no_o doubt_n in_o the_o general_a it_o be_v intend_v by_o you_o as_o a_o byblow_n and_o nickename_n of_o scandal_n to_o some_o particular_a kind_n of_o person_n and_o those_o in_o all_o man_n judgement_n must_v be_v mean_v of_o such_o as_o deserve_v scandal_n for_o it_o be_v in_o charity_n conceive_v that_o you_o will_v not_o apply_v scandal_n but_o upon_o such_o as_o deserve_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o some_o particular_a sin_n as_o drunkenness_n adultery_n loose_a life_n or_o erroneous_a in_o their_o religion_n or_o doctrine_n or_o in_o some_o outward_a comportment_n or_o ceremony_n or_o the_o like_a contrary_a to_o the_o civil_a and_o lawful_a government_n of_o our_o church_n state_n and_o kingdom_n now_o then_o dear_a brother_n round-head_n i_o must_v serious_o tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n the_o one_o good_a the_o other_o bad_a so_o christian_n be_v man_n be_v some_o good_a some_o bad_a so_o all_o man_n be_v roundhead_n in_o the_o primitive_a sense_n and_o so_o some_o good_a some_o bad_a now_o in_o charity_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o you_o mean_v not_o this_o nickname_n nor_o scandal_n against_o the_o good_a howsoever_o the_o good_a may_v be_v abuse_v by_o these_o name_n now_o then_o to_o come_v near_o the_o matter_n how_o many_o sort_n of_o good_a man_n be_v there_o and_o how_o many_o sort_n of_o bad_a man_n be_v there_o as_o for_o the_o good_a in_o this_o cause_n they_o admit_v no_o division_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v leave_v they_o as_o no_o part_n of_o our_o discourse_n because_o it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v by_o the_o author_n himself_o but_o that_o they_o be_v clear_v of_o this_o nickname_n or_o scandal_n and_o be_v never_o intend_v against_o they_o well_o then_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v gather_v how_o many_o sort_n of_o bad_a man_n there_o be_v for_o they_o be_v not_o as_o the_o good_a be_v but_o may_v be_v divide_v and_o sure_o be_v always_o divide_v for_o they_o can_v never_o agree_v and_o so_o to_o know_v against_o what_o sort_n of_o bad_a this_o name_n be_v intend_v now_o to_o come_v yet_o a_o little_a near_o to_o my_o brother_n roundhead_n meaning_n let_v the_o bad_a be_v of_o as_o many_o sort_n as_o can_v be_v think_v of_o for_o it_o be_v too_o much_o for_o one_o to_o remember_v they_o all_o it_o be_v conceive_v that_o among_o all_o these_o bad_a sort_n of_o people_n in_o the_o world_n he_o intend_v this_o nickname_n or_o scandal_n upon_o that_o sort_n of_o bad_a that_o be_v contrary_a opposite_a or_o differ_v in_o religion_n and_o ceremony_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n now_o upon_o this_o point_n it_o must_v be_v know_v who_o and_o how_o many_o sort_n of_o religion_n ceremony_n and_o practice_n there_o be_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o true_a and_o orthodox_n church_n of_o england_n but_o because_o there_o be_v so_o many_o sort_n it_o will_v be_v too_o tedious_a to_o recite_v they_o all_o and_o to_o tell_v you_o of_o the_o whole_a nine_o and_o twenty_o sect_n of_o late_o set_v forth_o but_o only_o touch_v those_o that_o be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o most_o enemy_n to_o the_o church_n and_o state_n as_o the_o papist_n the_o brownist_n the_o anabaptist_n the_o separatist_n and_o a_o new_a religion_n and_o yet_o no_o religion_n call_v cavalier_n which_o be_v late_o spring_v up_o jam_fw-la nova_fw-la progeny_n barathro_fw-la sublata_fw-la sub_fw-la imo_fw-la chara_n diaboli_fw-la soboles_fw-la etc._n etc._n they_o in_o some_o sort_n will_v imitate_v the_o apostle_n that_o be_v fisherman_n for_o with_o these_o cavalier_n all_o be_v fish_n that_o come_v to_o their_o net_n and_o yet_o to_o come_v a_o little_a near_o my_o brother_n round-head_n it_o must_v be_v know_v also_o which_o of_o these_o sort_n or_o sect_n he_o mean_v or_o intend_v by_o this_o nick_n name_n of_o round-head_n now_o because_o there_o lie_v the_o hide_a mystery_n this_o riddle_n be_v never_o dissolve_v nor_o none_o by_o he_o ever_o name_v who_o or_o what_o particular_a sect_n be_v the_o intend_a round-head_n therefore_o it_o must_v shall_v and_o can_v be_v not_o otherwise_o intend_v and_o mean_v but_o that_o all_o sect_n as_o papist_n brownist_n anabaptist_n separatist_n cavalier_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o be_v not_o with_o or_o any_o way_n against_o the_o true_a protestant_n religion_n maintain_v by_o the_o king_n parliament_n and_o state_n of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v and_o shall_v be_v from_o henceforth_o deem_v repute_a and_o take_v by_o the_o name_n and_o appellation_n of_o roundhead_n and_o shall_v be_v from_o henceforth_o so_o authorize_v to_o be_v name_v and_o repute_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o aforesaid_a honest_a protestant_n to_o be_v clear_v herein_o and_o this_o no_o doubt_n be_v the_o true_a meaning_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o author_n howsoever_o it_o have_v be_v misapply_v many_o time_n by_o these_o aforesaid_a roundhead_n to_o unload_v themselves_o and_o cast_v this_o aspersion_n upon_o the_o true_a honest_a religious_a and_o zealous_a protestant_n who_o neither_o king_n or_o parliament_n or_o good_a man_n can_v ever_o detect_v and_o therefore_o i_o think_v the_o author_n be_v not_o so_o wise_a neither_o as_o god_n may_v have_v make_v he_o for_o if_o he_o have_v he_o may_v have_v express_v and_o set_v down_o every_o particular_a round-head_n with_o a_o several_a addition_n whereby_o they_o may_v have_v be_v the_o better_a know_v to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o do_v himself_o much_o honour_n to_o clear_v his_o meaning_n in_o express_v himself_o and_o his_o good_a will_n in_o clear_v those_o good_a protestant_n that_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v account_v among_o that_o rabble_n as_o that_o rabble_n will_v make_v they_o as_o for_o example_n the_o papist_n in_o regard_n of_o this_o many_o mischievous_a machiavile_n plot_n and_o conspiracy_n against_o this_o state_n
