           Now
           contrary

           Now
           here
           is

           yet
           this

           not

           this

           of

           it

           when
           Reason

           And
           now
           that
           it
           is
           said
           ,
           That
           the
           King
           was
           the
           Author
           of
           this
           unjust
           war
           ,
           and
           therefore
           guilty
           of
           the
           highest
           treason
           against
           the
           highest
           law
           amongst
           men

           and
           therein
           guilty
           of
           all
           the

           Now
           seeing
           this
           question
           is
           thus
           stated
           ,
           it
           is
           desired
           that
           every

           would
           reflect

           cast
           an
           eye
           upon
           their
           own

           and
           not
           judge
           partially

           for
           God
           would
           judge
           righteous
           Judgement
           ,
           and
           render
           to
           every
           one
           according
           to
           the
           fruits

           therefore
           to
           consider
           a
           little
           the
           first
           beginning
           of
           our
           troubles
           ,
           after
           the
           second
           Parliament
           was
           set
           and
           settled
           by
           our
           King

           If

           please
           to
           call

           extraordinary
           Petitions
           there
           was
           from

           unto
           the
           Parliament
           ,
           as
           making
           complaint
           against
           the
           King
           of
           their
           heavy

           that
           they
           had
           laid
           under
           ,
           which
           were
           but
           as
           the
           weight
           of
           a
           little
           finger
           in
           comparison
           what

           And
           that
           mens
           backs
           or
           rather
           estates
           have
           been
           broken
           in

           their

           too
           almost
           at
           the
           sad
           events
           :
           and
           indeed
           the
           hand
           of
           God
           hath
           been
           sore
           upon
           us
           in
           that
           we
           were
           not
           content

           And
           now
           instead
           of
           having
           one
           Head
           to

           wee
           have
           had
           a
           preposterous
           Body
           without
           a
           Head

           what
           we
           have
           now
           we
           know
           not

           forth
           the

           which
           Title
           I
           finde
           not

           but
           indeed
           these
           Members
           have
           well
           resembled
           the
           Feet

           Toes

           are
           now
           in
           great
           danger
           to
           be
           broken
           in
           pieces

           because
           they

           not
           sensible
           of

           And
           now
           at
           first
           beginning
           of

           when

           resort
           to
           the

           for
           he
           was
           not
           at
           all
           then
           looked
           upon

           and
           by
           violence
           have
           taken

           lived
           but
           seven
           dayes
           after

           but
           
             Hazael
          
           reigned
           certain
           years
           after
           his
           Master
           ,
           and
           went
           on
           violently
           to
           do
           the

           shed
           much
           blood

           Now
           consider

           did
           attempt
           the
           like

           but
           
             Jehu
          
           had

           command
           immediate
           from

           but
           the
           scripture
           is
           full
           of
           counterdemands
           to
           your

           But
           to

           ,
           we
           know
           he

           cover
           unjust
           proceeding

           that
           title

           have
           their

           And
           now
           I
           pray
           consider
           ,
           who
           hath
           kept
           or
           broken
           the
           commandement
           of
           the
           great
           God
           of
           heaven
           and
           hath
           suffered
           for
           it
           :
           but
           when
           the
           Lord
           hath
           taken
           the
           King
           out
           of
           your
           hands
           (
           as
           he
           will
           certainly
           doe
           )
           and
           set
           him
           upon
           his
           Thron
           too
           .
        
         
           And
           when
           it
           shall
           appeare
           that
           God
           doth
           translate
           the
           estates
           of
           those
           that
           withstand
           the
           King
           to
           the
           King

           then
           it
           will
           plainly
           be
           seen
           ,
           or
           appear
           ,
           that
           the
           Lord
           was
           highly
           displeased

             Caesar
          
           the

           and
           unto
           God
           the
           things
           that

           the
           blessing
           of
           God
           had
           been
           upon
