To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The danger, I think, would be this: one of the main points of controversy betwixt us and our adversaries is, whether the government of this nation shall be established in monarchy, or in a free state or commonwealth, and most of our friends have engaged with us upon the hopes of having the government settled in a free state, and to effect that, have undergone all their hazards and difficulties ; they being persuaded, though I think much mistaken, that under the government of a commonwealth th...ey shall enjoy more liberty and right, both as to their spiritual and civil con* cernments, than they shall under monarchy, the pressures and dislike whereof are so fresh in their memories and sufferings* Now if Your Excellency shall take upon you the title of King, this state of your cause will be thereby wholly determined, and monarchy established in your person ; and the question will he no more, whether our govern- ment shall be by a monarch or by a free state, but whether Cromwell or Stuart shall be our king and monarch : and that question, whereinbefore so great parties of the nation were engaged* and which was universal, will by these means become in effect a private controversy only : before, it was national, what kind of government we should have; now it will become particular,, who shall be our governor, whether of the family of the Stuarts or of the family of the Cromwells.
