a_o declaration_n of_o the_o member_n of_o parliament_n late_o dissolve_v by_o oliver_n cromwell_n esquire_n although_o we_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o door_n and_o threaten_v for_o endeavour_v to_o put_v

with_o our_o sense_n of_o the_o duty_n and_o necessity_n that_o lie_v upon_o they_o for_o the_o prevention_n of_o the_o same_o and_o to_o pass_v over_o his_o cruelty_n and_o oppression_n of_o

of_o late_a year_n we_o can_v but_o with_o grief_n and_o horror_n remember_v his_o unparallelled_a strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o all_o our_o law_n and_o freedom_n together_o by_o the_o frequent_a

and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v we_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o one_o of_o his_o son_n may_v not_o nor_o can_v all_o the_o world_n show_v a_o better_a government_n then_o that_o of_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o where_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o lord_n as_o mediator_n between_o the_o king_n and_o commons_o to_o hinder_v the_o encroachment_n of_o either_o upon_o other_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v incline_v to_o tyranny_n or_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o to_o perpetuate_v itself_o and_o meddle_v with_o the_o distribution_n of_o justice_n in_o a_o corrupt_a and_o factious_a
