Sirs, As you did your duty in serving the King in his just War, so he will allow you all just privilege in time of peace: but you must not think that the reward of your obedience to him in some things, shall be a liberty to disobey him in other. Although we have been (as you say) fellow sufferers with you, we will not sin with you. You say, you hazarded much to restore the King to his Throne: To what purpose, I pray you, if every man shall do what is good in his own eyes, as when there was no King in Israel? And you must know, his sacred Majesty makes Laws against you, not to satisfy any mans passion or revenge, but to satisfy his own conscience.
