           but
           it

           you
           bustle
           above
           Decks

           They
           are
           men
           of
           as
           good
           government

           I
           hope

           that
           can
           set

           the
           way
           hither
           ?
           I
           am
           confident
           you
           cannot
           but
           love
           them
           for
           their
           sakes
           that
           sent
           them
           ye
           ,
           and
           for
           my
           sake
           that
           commend
           them
           to
           ye
           ;
           and
           you
           know
           I
           do
           not
           use
           to
           praise
           honest
           men
           to
           their
           faces
           ;
           they
           were
           begotten
           by
           the
           Army
           ,
           created
           by
           the
           Parliament
           ,
           and
           dub'd
           by
           the
           right
           reverend
           Committee
           of
           
             Derby-house
             ,
          
           and
           I
           think
           all
           these
           are
           able
           to
           make
           four
           
             sea
             guls
             :
          
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           they
           'l
           use

           as
           wel
           as
           as
           they
           can
           find
           in
           their
           hearts
           ;
           if
           ye
           corrupt
           them
           to
           run
           away
           with
           you
           ,
           you
           may
           chance
           venture
           a
           neck-cracking
           together
           ,
           if
           ere
           you
           be
           caught
           again
           .
           I
           think
           I
           have
           perswaded
           you
           to
           obey
           every body
           that
           I
           think
           fit
           ;
           and
           when
           you
           feel
           the
           fruits
           of
           my
           good
           councel
           
           working
           ,
           I
           make
           no
           question
           but
           you
           'l
           remember
           me
           when
           you

           your
           Kingdom
           :
           Yet
           know
           in
           the
           times
           when
           superstition
           and
           tyrannie
           raged
           like
           the
           raving
           of
           the
           waters
           ,
           your
           consciences
           were
           chain'd
           from
           flying
           into
           your
           faces
           ,
           with
           two
           inseparable
           links
           of
           Allegiance
           and
           Supremacy
           ,
           and
           you
           groan'd
           under
           the
           heavy
           weight
           of
           those
           oppressive

           and
           not
           fit

           that

           obedience

           I
           know
           good
           letters
           are
           too
