to_o the_o charter_n of_o london_n or_o to_o the_o charter_n of_o the_o university_n be_v necessary_a to_o preserve_v property_n betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n it_o be_v but_o just_a and_o rational_a to_o uphold_v they_o as_o subordinate_a to_o he_o in_o their_o present_a work_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o justice_n but_o to_o incorporate_v with_o they_o to_o swear_v to_o they_o to_o

we_o be_v declare_v our_o judgement_n let_v we_o speak_v our_o thought_n of_o the_o swear_v to_o this_o instrument_n i_o think_v with_o the_o subscriber_n it_o be_v unadvised_a and_o unwarrantable_a but_o not_o of_o such_o dangerous_a consequence_n as_o they_o imagine_v i_o will_v not_o encourage_v man_n in_o break_v oath_n though_o rash_o make_v it_o be_v to_o add_v sin_n to_o sin_n but_o yet_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o my_o thought_n that_o this_o oath_n be_v likely_a to_o follow_v the_o former_a protestation_n and_o covenant_n be_v much_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o if_o the_o matter_n or_o subject_n of_o a_o oath_n cease_v and_o die_v the_o oath_n also_o cease_v a_o woman_n be_v bind_v to_o her_o husband_n no_o long_o than_o he_o live_v therefore_o if_o we_o swear_v to_o die_v and_o perish_v thing_n their_o death_n do_v discharge_v we_o beside_o the_o people_n to_o who_o the_o protector_n have_v swear_v will_v not_o accept_v of_o he_o nor_o his_o government_n but_o have_v refuse_v he_o in_o open_a parliament_n and_o why_o he_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o they_o that_o will_v not_o engage_v with_o he_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n it_o be_v not_o intend_v that_o this_o new_a obligation_n shall_v dissolve_v the_o former_a stand_v and_o relation_n that_o be_v more_o natural_a and_o substantial_a this_o new_a one_o but_o a_o circumstance_n and_o form_n and_o a_o addition_n to_o the_o other_o therefore_o let_v he_o wear_v it_o as_o a_o garment_n for_o ornament_n or_o state_n as_o long_o as_o it_o will_v last_v it_o will_v wear_v out_o as_o a_o vestment_n when_o the_o life_n and_o body_n his_o military_a power_n will_v endure_v he_o may_v therefore_o essay_n it_o as_o david_n do_v saul_n armour_n but_o when_o he_o feel_v it_o burdensome_a he_o will_v say_v he_o can_v skill_v of_o it_o and_o cast_v it_o off_o these_o with_o his_o and_n new_a cord_n will_v not_o bind_v samson_n next_o time_n danger_n be_v upon_o he_o i_o imagine_v he_o will_v break_v they_o in_o piece_n and_o leave_v his_o new_a subject_n that_o refuse_v he_o for_o his_o old_a friend_n that_o love_v he_o or_o else_o keep_v they_o in_o a_o state_n of_o subjection_n as_o servant_n and_o these_o in_o a_o state_n of_o favour_n as_o brethren_n they_o as_o a_o concubine_n and_o these_o as_o a_o wife_n thus_o do_v your_o thought_n and_o my_o thought_n free_o pass_v their_o judgement_n upon_o the_o protector_n and_o his_o action_n what_o pretty_a chequerwork_n our_o thought_n make_v how_o we_o do_v ring_v the_o change_n we_o agree_v and_o we_o differ_v and_o it_o matter_n not_o much_o whether_o we_o agree_v or_o differ_v you_o say_v and_o i_o say_v this_o instrument_n and_o oath_n be_v unadvised_a and_o unwarrantable_a you_o judge_v that_o it_o necessitate_v the_o

his_o new_a government_n will_v destroy_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o conmonwealth_n he_o think_v your_o new_a monarchy_n will_v destroy_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n it_o may_v be_v i_o think_v both_o party_n will_v do_v it_o and_o will_v not_o do_v it_o that_o both_o of_o you_o will_v uphold_v the_o old_a and_o you_o will_v have_v a_o new_a but_o know_v not_o well_o how_o to_o do_v either_o these_o be_v our_o thought_n shoot_v at_o rover_n it_o may_v be_v they_o hit_v it_o may_v be_v they_o miss_v the_o mark_n indeed_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n be_v very_o vain_a thing_n and_o know_v very_o little_a of_o that_o divine_a wisdom_n that_o move_v and_o carry_v on_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n in_o these_o great_a revolution_n and_o therefore_o neither_o you_o nor_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o foolish_a i_o hope_v as_o to_o insist_v upon_o they_o or_o make_v much_o account_n of_o they_o it_o be_v enough_o we_o have_v freedom_n to_o give_v they_o vent_v if_o they_o may_v do_v any_o good_a so_o if_o they_o be_v vain_a let_v they_o die_v and_o perish_v but_o for_o we_o to_o think_v a_o state_n bind_v to_o steer_v their_o course_n by_o our_o judgement_n be_v a_o little_a too_o much_o if_o they_o shall_v contrary_a judgement_n will_v keep_v they_o in_o perpetual_a instability_n therefore_o governor_n as_o they_o shall_v not_o refuse_v any_o light_n so_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v sway_v by_o opinion_n and_o party_n for_o interest_n but_o follow_v faithful_o steady_o and_o upright_o righteousness_n and_o truth_n as_o it_o manifest_v itself_o to_o their_o own_o soul_n now_o we_o have_v take_v the_o liberty_n of_o express_v our_o thought_n which_o be_v various_a and_o uncertain_a let_v we_o consider_v if_o there_o be_v not_o something_o more_o serious_a and_o
