A96925	A word to purpose: or, A Parthian dart, shot back to 1642, and from thence shot back again to 1659. swiftly glancing upon some remarkable occurrences of the times; and now sticks fast in two substantial queries, I. concerning the legality of the second meeting of some of the Long-Parliament-Members. Also, a fools bolt shot into Wallingford House, by as good a friend to England, as any is there, concerning a free state.		1659 (1659)	Wing W3566; Thomason E985_9; ESTC R204153	9,686	15

subsequent_a and_o all_o these_o as_o firm_a in_o law_n one_o as_o the_o other_o and_o that_o which_o make_v for_o our_o purpose_n be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o case_n i_o reenter_v for_o condition_n break_v by_o another_o or_o another_o re-enter_v in_o his_o own_o name_n and_o i_o agree_v to_o it_o this_o may_v be_v do_v by_o law_n now_o than_o oliver_n cromwell_n pull_v those_o whipster_n out_o by_o the_o ear_n and_o do_v they_o no_o wrong_n say_v some_o for_o he_o may_v as_o well_o turn_v they_o out_o as_o they_o turn_v he_o out_o that_o have_v better_a right_o and_o he_o may_v as_o well_o govern_v as_o they_o have_v as_o good_a authority_n and_o better_a come_v near_o the_o old_a model_n but_o let_v this_o act_n be_v lawful_a or_o not_o lawful_a and_o some_o say_v no_o public_a act_n this_o sixteen_o year_n have_v be_v lawful_a yet_o if_o he_o have_v the_o agreement_n subsequent_a of_o the_o people_n to_o it_o that_o make_v it_o doubtless_o lawful_a and_o that_o agreement_n be_v very_o obvious_a first_o the_o saint_n agree_v to_o it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o army_n ask_v lambert_n else_o next_o the_o godly_a party_n in_o the_o country_n agree_v to_o it_o as_o appear_v by_o their_o speedy_a scud_v up_o to_o westminster_n into_o the_o same_o place_n and_o confirm_v it_o over_o and_o over_o next_o all_o the_o people_n of_o the_o three_o nation_n agree_v to_o it_o in_o choose_v a_o new_a representative_a to_o congratulate_v oliver_n for_o the_o good_a service_n and_o to_o give_v he_o some_o handsome_a gratuity_n for_o his_o pain_n which_o according_o be_v do_v and_o that_o more_o than_o once_o and_o with_o great_a solemnity_n and_o not_o only_o to_o he_o but_o to_o his_o son_n and_o that_o with_o as_o great_a solemnity_n and_o as_o unanimous_o as_o ever_o any_o prince_n can_v be_v enthrone_v and_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v the_o sense_n of_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o come_v near_o since_o that_o time_n i_o never_o hear_v one_o man_n speak_v concern_v it_o but_o hearty_o rejoice_v that_o the_o yoke_n be_v take_v off_o their_o neck_n but_o again_o let_v the_o design_n of_o oliver_n be_v what_o they_o will_v yet_o the_o people_n choose_v new_a representative_n as_o oft_o as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v be_v clear_o a_o employ_v countermand_v of_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o former_a for_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n can_v be_v commissionated_a several_o to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n but_o the_o first_o be_v countermand_v by_o the_o last_o if_o they_o be_v countermandable_a and_o the_o last_o be_v void_a if_o the_o other_o be_v not_o countermandable_a now_o all_o these_o several_a choise_n of_o representative_n be_v to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o transact_v the_o great_a affair_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o authority_n be_v

that_o meet_v now_o in_o the_o parliament_n house_n who_o sit_v more_o than_o once_o in_o the_o same_o place_n they_o now_o fit_a in_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o people_n new_a choice_n which_o some_o if_o not_o all_o make_v contrive_v and_o contend_v for_o and_o after_o make_v law_n to_o confirm_v the_o then_o protector_n which_o doubtless_o show_v plain_o that_o they_o take_v the_o former_a long_a assembly_n to_o be_v determine_v and_o by_o their_o act_n be_v by_o law_n estopped_a and_o conclude_v to_o say_v otherwise_o like_v to_o this_o case_n in_o law_n lessee_n for_o many_o year_n by_o a_o good_a lease_n accept_v from_o his_o lessor_n a_o void_a lease_n that_o be_v a_o surrender_n and_o determination_n of_o his_o former_a good_a lease_n for_o by_o his_o acceptance_n he_o have_v

be_v here_o which_o note_n so_o now_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o scruple_n be_v these_o that_o it_o be_v conceive_v general_o that_o the_o long_a parliament_n forfeit_v their_o trust_n and_o authority_n by_o go_v beyond_o their_o commission_n notwithstanding_o the_o act_n of_o not_o dissolve_v etc._n etc._n make_v by_o the_o three_o estate_n or_o else_o that_o they_o determine_v by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n however_o their_o power_n determine_v as_o to_o make_v act_n or_o else_o they_o determine_v by_o their_o discontinuance_n or_o else_o by_o the_o people_n reseise_v their_o

they_o not_o be_v acceptable_a to_o the_o people_n he_o have_v not_o sit_v so_o sure_a as_o he_o do_v i_o must_v ingenuous_o say_v i_o can_v see_v unless_o i_o be_v further_o enlighten_v which_o i_o wish_v some_o will_v endeavour_v how_o this_o present_a meeting_n in_o the_o parliament_n house_n shall_v amount_v to_o a_o parliament_n but_o mistake_v i_o not_o i_o offer_v not_o this_o to_o public_a view_n to_o breed_v contention_n stir_n and_o debate_n in_o the_o land_n we_o be_v like_a to_o have_v enough_o of_o they_o beside_o but_o my_o main_a end_n be_v to_o have_v some_o

imagine_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v obedient_a when_o they_o doubt_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o supreme_a authority_n and_o what_o compliance_n other_o than_o a_o passive_a submission_n can_v be_v expect_v when_o a_o usurp_v confuse_a unlimited_a rude_a and_o groundless_a power_n shall_v obtrude_v themselves_o upon_o the_o right_n liberty_n and_o native_a privilege_n of_o the_o people_n when_o a_o disorderly_a unaccountable_a and_o unwarrantable_a procedure_n be_v set_v on_o foot_n by_o a_o company_n unauthorized_a inferior_a spirit_n to_o who_o sad_a experience_n have_v dictate_v that_o no_o trust_n or_o heed_n be_v to_o be_v give_v because_o their_o whole_a proceed_n have_v be_v violent_a their_o own_o judgement_n unsettled_a their_o pretence_n but_o pretence_n their_o
