             that
             through
             his
             dutifulnesse

             this
             Proclamation

             him
             in

             they
             looked
             at
             it
             as
             the
             greatest
             indignity
             ,
             and
             the
             greatest
             calumny
             that
             could
             befall
             a
             Parliament

             and
             the
             greatest
             discouragement
             that

             stand
             to
             a
             Parliament

             Hereupon
             they
             resolved
             to
             declare

             it
             lay
             in
             that
             ill
             Counsell

             and
             that
             desperate
