this_o i_o say_v because_o i_o in_o part_n know_v and_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v more_o than_o i_o know_v that_o many_o of_o quality_n great_a and_o good_a estate_n have_v venture_v life_n and_o

and_o land_n and_o the_o main_a of_o the_o argument_n have_v be_v the_o defence_n of_o religion_n for_o which_o i_o have_v hear_v several_a officer_n declare_v themselves_o such_o champion_n that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v think_v there_o be_v any_o danger_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o obey_v his_o command_n yet_o if_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n think_v it_o secure_v they_o be_v willing_a to_o turn_v their_o sword_n into_o ploughshare_n these_o disposition_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v and_o admire_v and_o deserve_v encouragement_n by_o honour_n and_o reward_n it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v

mount_v the_o guard_n which_o seem_v to_o indicate_v that_o there_o be_v a_o grow_a necessity_n that_o some_o coercive_a power_n or_o law_n shall_v be_v set_v up_o again_o as_o former_o for_o make_v

that_o ever_o since_o the_o civil-war_n the_o militia_n have_v annual_o decline_v and_o it_o be_v in_o those_o unhappy_a time_n that_o the_o first_o attempt_n be_v for_o put_v the_o charge_n of_o

when_o we_o be_v so_o unfortunate_a and_o unhappy_a as_o to_o want_v both_o king_n lord_n and_o free_a parliament_n though_o i_o must_v confess_v we_o seem_v by_o the_o neglect_n and_o disparage_v

the_o government_n allow_v 300000l_o for_o the_o annual_a payment_n of_o these_o 7000_o who_o must_v be_v increase_v twice_o 7_o in_o a_o few_o year_n more_o if_o the_o militia_n be_v not_o improve_v for_o it_o be_v not_o 20000_o man_n in_o regular_a stand_a discipline_n that_o be_v sufficient_a for_o our_o security_n if_o the_o argument_n be_v true_a that_o our_o neighbour_n be_v so_o

i_o hope_v its_o the_o noise_n or_o discourse_n of_o our_o militia_n that_o do_v something_o discourage_v they_o who_o if_o they_o be_v make_v useful_a will_v be_v certain_o our_o safeguard_n but_o when_o that_o will_v be_v i_o dare_v not_o venture_v to_o say_v for_o it_o be_v a_o rational_a business_n and_o require_v time_n to_o effect_v it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v only_o talk_v of_o never_o go_v

the_o house_n go_v upon_o proposition_n for_o make_v the_o militia_n useful_a whereupon_o it_o be_v my_o good_a fortune_n for_o the_o house_n be_v please_v to_o hear_v i_o to_o say_v time_n be_v a_o

the_o enlarge_n of_o time_n to_o 28_o day_n i_o do_v not_o recite_v this_o out_o of_o ostentation_n to_o show_v the_o honour_n and_o favour_n i_o have_v at_o that_o time_n but_o to_o demonstrate_v it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n if_o the_o parliament_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o do_v something_o like_o these_o follow_a proposition_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v then_o if_o the_o parliament_n have_v continue_v but_o the_o discourse_n and_o argument_n then_o for_o disband_v the_o army_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n for_o the_o break_n up_o the_o parliament_n for_o as_o i_o
