affirm_v that_o we_o be_v perfect_a in_o comparison_n of_o any_o other_o government_n in_o the_o world_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v those_o nation_n that_o have_v parliament_n that_o assembly_n be_v

and_o especial_o france_n every_o man_n pay_v for_o what_o he_o get_v by_o his_o labour_n in_o france_n every_o labourer_n pay_v two_o part_n of_o three_o to_o the_o king_n as_o if_o he_o get_v six_o

power_n of_o make_v war_n and_o peace_n but_o the_o sinew_n of_o war_n be_v in_o the_o people_n i_o mean_v money_n and_o that_o they_o can_v part_v with_o but_o with_o our_o own_o consent_n and_o although_o the_o matter_n of_o war_n and_o peace_n be_v a_o arcanum_n imperii_fw-la and_o that_o no_o man_n as_o some_o say_v may_v pry_v into_o it_o save_v they_o to_o who_o the_o king_n be_v

think_v that_o man_n be_v very_o unworthy_a of_o the_o honour_n to_o serve_v his_o country_n in_o parliament_n who_o shall_v give_v away_o the_o people_n money_n for_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o what_o shall_v be_v effectual_o for_o the_o good_a and_o advantage_n of_o the_o people_n and_o nation_n four_o the_o estate_n and_o good_n be_v take_v from_o the_o people_n without_o assign_v a_o reason_n of_o it_o but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o king_n to_o have_v it_o so_o but_o here_o no_o man_n can_v be_v deprive_v of_o his_o estate_n or_o good_n but_o by_o due_a course_n of_o law_n for_o possession_n be_v that_o the_o law_n be_v very_o tender_a of_o but_o although_o some_o say_v that_o the_o king_n commission_n may_v not_o be_v resist_v in_o any_o case_n whatsoever_o i_o shall_v not_o argue_v that_o point_n because_o this_o be_v not_o a_o proper_a time_n for_o it_o and_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v never_o have_v occasion_n to_o try_v it_o if_o it_o ever_o shall_v happen_v i_o will_v lay_v the_o blame_v at_o the_o door_n of_o his_o minister_n for_o our_o king_n be_v a_o merciful_a prince_n and_o love_v not_o such_o thing_n yet_o this_o i_o be_o

can_v believe_v that_o man_n can_v be_v real_o a_o friend_n either_o to_o his_o king_n or_o country_n but_o rather_o do_v it_o out_o of_o some_o sinister_a end_n or_o to_o curry_v favour_n with_o the_o court_n that_o shall_v extol_v the_o king_n prerogative_n above_o the_o law_n because_o this_o doctrine_n if_o true_a quite_o destroy_v the_o fundamental_o of_o our_o government_n for_o if_o ever_o you_o set_v the_o king_n above_o law_n than_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o king_n derive_v his_o title_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n not_o from_o the_o law_n of_o

principle_n of_o every_o party_n will_v be_v equal_o dangerous_a or_o advantageous_a to_o the_o king_n or_o equal_o different_a or_o agreeable_a to_o he_o this_o be_v a_o remote_a supposition_n and_o can_v be_v expect_v on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a and_o therefore_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o he_o can_v have_v a_o like_a confidence_n of_o all_o party_n but_o must_v depend_v upon_o some_o more_o than_o upon_o other_o and_o this_o dependence_n will_v natural_o fix_v itself_o either_o on_o they_o who_o principle_n it_o be_v to_o support_v the_o common_a good_a or_o else_o on_o such_o as_o be_v more_o dispose_v to_o comply_v with_o
dangerous_a time_n to_o put_v the_o law_n in_o execution_n against_o the_o papist_n because_o there_o be_v example_n where_o magistrate_n some_o have_v be_v murder_v other_o attempt_v to_o be_v assassinate_v for_o put_v the_o law_n in_o execution_n against_o the_o papist_n and_o because_o we_o appear_v to_o be_v zealous_a in_o it_o therefore_o this_o care_n be_v take_v off_o we_o i_o suppose_v that_o may_v be_v the_o chief_a reason_n why_o i_o be_v put_v out_o because_o i_o have_v help_v to_o convict_v above_o five_o thousand_o papist_n in_o lancashire_n and_o furthermore_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o know_v how_o we_o stand_v in_o the_o thought_n of_o our_o countryman_n whether_o they_o have_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o we_o now_o we_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o office_n because_o

of_o he_o i_o rather_o think_v better_a therefore_o see_v our_o country_n believe_v we_o to_o be_v honest_a man_n there_o be_v no_o great_a question_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o great_a esteem_n
