prejudice_n before_o these_o unhappy_a war_n the_o government_n of_o these_o nation_n be_v monarchical_a in_o church_n and_o state_n these_o war_n have_v give_v birth_n and_o growth_n to_o several_a interest_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n heretofore_o not_o know_v though_o now_o upon_o many_o account_n very_o considerable_a as_o the_o presbyterian_a independent_a anabaptist_n and_o sectary_n of_o all_o sort_n as_o to_o ecclesiastic_n and_o the_o purchaser_n of_o the_o king_n queen_n prince_n bishop_n dean_n and_o chapter_n and_o all_o other_o forfeit_a estate_n and_o all_o those_o engage_v in_o these_o war_n against_o the_o king_n as_o to_o civil_n these_o interest_n again_o be_v so_o interweave_v by_o purchase_n and_o intermarriage_n and_o thereby_o forfeit_v as_o i_o think_v upon_o rational_a ground_n it_o may_v be_v take_v for_o grant_v that_o no_o government_n can_v be_v either_o good_a peaceful_a or_o last_a to_o these_o nation_n that_o do_v not_o rational_o include_v and_o comprehend_v the_o security_n and_o preservation_n of_o all_o the_o foresay_a interest_n both_o civil_a and_o spiritual_a i_o mean_v so_o far_o as_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o be_v warrant_v to_o be_v protect_v and_o preserve_v if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o that_o government_n under_o which_o we_o former_o be_v both_o in_o state_n and_o church_n viz._n monarchy_n can_v possible_o be_v admit_v for_o the_o future_a in_o these_o nation_n because_o its_o support_n be_v take_v away_o and_o because_o it_o be_v exclusive_a of_o all_o the_o former_a interest_n both_o civil_a and_o spiritual_a all_o of_o they_o be_v incompatible_a with_o monarchical_a uniformity_n in_o church_n and_o state_n thus_o expire_v that_o government_n then_o that_o be_v most_o able_a to_o comprehend_v and_o protect_v all_o interest_n as_o aforesaid_a must_v needs_o be_v republic_n wherefore_o to_o i_o it_o be_v no_o small_a doubt_n if_o upon_o the_o premise_n to_o admit_v of_o the_o member_n seclude_v 1648_o be_v not_o to_o obstruct_v our_o peace_n and_o continue_v our_o war_n rather_o than_o establish_v the_o one_o and_o end_v the_o other_o in_o that_o very_a many_o of_o those_o member_n assert_v the_o monarchical_a interest_n together_o with_o the_o abolition_n of_o all_o law_n make_v since_o their_o seclusion_n which_o i_o fear_v upon_o account_n of_o self-preservation_n both_o of_o life_n and_o estate_n as_o well_o as_o spiritual_a liberty_n will_v immediate_o involve_v all_o these_o nation_n in_o most_o horrid_a and_o bloody_a war_n afresh_o the_o very_a
