A80408	Redintegratio amoris, or A union of hearts, between the Kings most excellent Majesty, the Right Honorable the Lords and Commons in Parliament, His Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, and the Army under his command; the Assembly, and every honest man that desires a sound and durable peace, accompanied with speedy justice and piety. By way of respective apologies, so far as Scripture and reason may be judges. / By John Cook of Grayes-Inne, Barrester.

as_o one_o of_o the_o most_o necessary_a work_n to_o be_v do_v in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o that_o wherein_o there_o will_v appear_v much_o opposition_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o sudden_o do_v it_o will_v not_o be_v do_v in_o this_o generation_n our_o law_n be_v actual_o or_o potential_o the_o best_a in_o the_o world_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v amiss_o the_o parliament_n may_v reform_v it_o according_a to_o right_a reason_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o all_o humane_a law_n without_o exception_n &_o no_o law_n ought_v to_o live_v long_o than_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o continue_v away_o with_o all_o bugbear_n objection_n and_o after_o naseby_n fight_n let_v never_o distrust_v god_n for_o any_o thing_n i_o mean_v let_v we_o have_v such_o law_n as_o be_v not_o direct_o against_o

not_o fundamental_a as_o the_o elder_a son_n to_o inherit_v the_o whole_a estate_n certain_o there_o ought_v in_o all_o reason_n some_o provision_n to_o be_v make_v for_o the_o young_a child_n if_o the_o father_n make_v none_o for_o they_o in_o his_o live_a time_n but_o true_a it_o be_v that_o many_o positive_a law_n be_v fundamental_a secundary_o to_o alter_v which_o will_v be_v full_a of_o danger_n and_o inconvenience_n unless_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o great_a utility_n will_v thereby_o arise_v and_o accrue_v to_o the_o kingdom_n but_o that_o be_v not_o my_o present_a work_n
