this_o so_o powerful_a prince_n as_o certain_o it_o will_v if_o he_o design_v the_o least_o alteration_n of_o government_n or_o any_o injury_n to_o the_o crown_n much_o more_o to_o the_o person_n of_o

proof_n of_o a_o thing_n possibility_n i_o can_v give_v some_o instance_n where_o parliament_n have_v help_v to_o oppose_v even_o the_o violence_n of_o arm_n which_o though_o they_o use_v to_o silence_v law_n such_o law_n at_o any_o time_n may_v here_o turn_v to_o flight_v a_o army_n of_o the_o alien_n it_o be_v a_o parliament_n pure_a interest_n with_o the_o people_n that_o have_v power_n enough_o upon_o the_o restoration_n of_o the_o late_a king_n to_o disband_v all_o the_o force_n then_o though_o much_o more_o formidable_a than_o what_o be_v now_o afoot_a and_o under_o such_o a_o

as_o this_o parliament_n shall_v be_v call_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v his_o interest_n to_o be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n for_o another_o instance_n that_o vote_n of_o parliament_n be_v

what_o his_o majesty_n can_v reasonable_o fear_v at_o present_a from_o such_o a_o loyal_a assembly_n be_v legal_o convene_v they_o will_v certain_o and_o of_o which_o i_o be_o in_o my_o conscience_n

to_o support_v they_o will_v confirm_v that_o establish_v religion_n which_o the_o king_n have_v so_o often_o promise_v to_o maintain_v and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o only_a two_o tender_a point_n that_o some_o people_n will_v think_v can_v touch_v the_o king_n or_o the_o court_n or_o what_o have_v occasion_v much_o perhaps_o this_o attempt_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o o._n and_o his_o state_n

best_a of_o asserter_n to_o this_o very_a parliament_n the_o prince_n of_o o._n have_v fair_o even_o in_o this_o very_a point_n appeal_v and_o so_o by_o his_o own_o act_n conclude_v himself_o so_o
