the_o manifest_a of_o the_o county_n of_o kent_n that_o the_o innocency_n of_o our_o intention_n and_o justice_n of_o all_o our_o undertaking_n may_v more_o clear_o appear_v to_o all_o man_n of_o uncorrupt_a understanding_n and_o heart_n not_o make_v too_o servile_a by_o the_o long_a and_o odious_a custom_n of_o oppression_n we_o the_o knight_n gentleman_n and_o franchlin_n of_o the_o county_n of_o kent_n the_o most_o free_a people_n of_o this_o late_a flourish_a nation_n by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o valour_n of_o our_o ancestor_n deliver_v from_o the_o law_n of_o a_o conqueror_n and_o to_o these_o late_a day_n of_o unhappy_a confusion_n and_o distraction_n enjoy_v the_o same_o through_o all_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o most_o glorious_a and_o victorious_a king_n and_o prince_n of_o this_o nation_n do_v hereby_o declare_v and_o manifest_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o our_o assemble_v and_o meet_v together_o at_o this_o time_n be_v no_o other_o than_o for_o a_o vindication_n of_o ourselves_o and_o purpose_n from_o the_o scandal_n and_o aspersion_n of_o the_o committee_n of_o this_o county_n who_o upon_o occasion_n of_o a_o petition_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o county_n of_o kent_n assent_v and_o subscribe_v to_o by_o the_o grand_a jury_n at_o the_o session_n of_o the_o judge_n upon_o a_o especial_a commission_n of_o oyer_n and_o terminer_n execute_v at_o the_o castle_n of_o canterbury_n the_o 11._o of_o may_n last_o for_o the_o say_a county_n have_v not_o only_o make_v order_n against_o the_o same_o and_o command_v they_o public_o to_o be_v read_v in_o all_o church_n sentence_n and_o condemn_v the_o say_a petition_n and_o all_o the_o abettor_n thereof_o and_o have_v summon_v the_o troop_n of_o horse_n and_o force_n of_o foot_n of_o this_o county_n for_o suppression_n of_o the_o say_a petition_n which_o tend_v not_o only_o to_o the_o suppression_n of_o the_o liberty_n even_o of_o the_o most_o enslave_v person_n of_o the_o world_n but_o also_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v show_v a_o endeavour_n upon_o any_o cause_n whatsoever_o which_o suit_v not_o with_o their_o humour_n to_o over-awe_v the_o sense_n of_o other_o man_n and_o upon_o opposition_n therein_o think_v they_o have_v ground_n enough_o to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n and_o fortune_n or_o both_o of_o their_o say_a opposer_n in_o consideration_n of_o which_o and_o that_o now_o the_o say_a committee_n find_v themselves_o unable_a to_o involve_v this_o county_n in_o blood_n have_v make_v their_o address_n to_o the_o parliament_n and_o army_n and_o make_v strange_a and_o malicious_a representation_n of_o our_o purpose_n thereby_o discover_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o their_o own_o pride_n and_o malice_n we_o the_o say_a knight_n gentleman_n and_o free-yeoman_n of_o the_o county_n of_o kent_n do_v herein_o appeal_v to_o all_o the_o world_n to_o judge_v if_o it_o be_v not_o high_a time_n for_o we_o to_o put_v ourselves_o into_o a_o posture_n of_o defence_n and_o do_v further_o declare_v that_o we_o will_v prosecute_v our_o say_a petition_n with_o our_o life_n and_o fortune_n not_o doubt_v of_o a_o fair_a reception_n from_o the_o two_o house_n of_o parliament_n who_o we_o know_v to_o have_v be_v instigate_v against_o we_o by_o the_o say_a committee_n and_o therefore_o save_v to_o ourselves_o the_o enlarge_n of_o the_o say_a petition_n we_o have_v resolve_v to_o charge_v the_o say_a committee_n with_o increase_a the_o tax_n of_o this_o county_n above_o the_o due_a proportion_n and_o only_o for_o maintain_v their_o own_o private_a luxury_n and_o pride_n with_o usurp_v a_o power_n over_o the_o estate_n and_o fortune_n of_o the_o freeman_n of_o this_o county_n not_o grant_v to_o they_o by_o any_o power_n of_o parliament_n with_o a_o tyrannical_a and_o embitter_a spirit_n natural_o ingraft_v in_o they_o and_o express_v by_o word_n and_o action_n all_o along_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o power_n which_o make_v they_o unfit_a for_o rule_v to_o the_o exasperate_n of_o the_o people_n heart_n into_o all_o animosity_n and_o overthrow_v of_o all_o love_n and_o peace_n in_o this_o county_n which_o also_o have_v be_v follow_v to_o that_o height_n of_o persecution_n that_o have_v not_o the_o two_o house_n give_v a_o stop_n to_o their_o exorbitant_a proceed_n we_o have_v suffer_v much_o more_o under_o the_o torment_n of_o these_o man_n project_v design_n wherein_o we_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o also_o to_o have_v be_v secure_v in_o the_o temper_n and_o moderation_n of_o the_o house_n we_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v or_o do_v but_o to_o defend_v ourselves_o till_o we_o can_v have_v a_o right_a understanding_n of_o our_o purpose_n and_o action_n before_o the_o house_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o shall_v look_v upon_o all_o opposition_n as_o the_o provocation_n of_o a_o conscious_a and_o enrage_a committee_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o invasion_n late_o make_v upon_o the_o person_n of_o our_o neighbour_n we_o think_v fit_a not_o to_o lie_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o soldier_n but_o to_o have_v refuge_n to_o our_o arm_n from_o which_o no_o threat_n or_o face_n of_o soldiery_n shall_v drive_v we_o know_v well_o the_o justice_n of_o our_o cause_n and_o the_o temper_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n finis_fw-la
