2. The main and principal matter of this Treaty,1 shows the excellency, weight and worth of it. It concerns King,2 Parliament and Kingdom. The prerogatives of the one, privileges of the other, and liberties of the third. It concerns the Church and Common-wealth, and the good government of both. It concerns the settling of a distracted Kingdom in peace and quietness: and the establishing of Religion in truth, purity and power. It concerns the reconciling of adverse parties, even such as have been in open hostility one against another; and thereby to put and end to a long, unnatural, bloody, civil war. What more weighty matters can be treated about.
