the_o people_n tire_v with_o expectation_n of_o such_o a_o cure_n do_v usual_o by_o degree_n forget_v the_o sharpness_n of_o those_o disease_n which_o before_o require_v it_o or_o else_o in_o the_o

particular_a interest_n and_o livelihood_n be_v near_o touch_v how_o far_o any_o proceed_n may_v distaste_v other_o who_o be_v unintere_v in_o their_o private_a fortune_n or_o calling_n i_o can_v tell_v any_o certain_a reason_n but_o i_o remember_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o year_n after_o when_o this_o civil_a war_n begin_v to_o break_v out_o over_o all_o the_o kingdom_n and_o man_n in_o all_o company_n begin_v to_o vent_v their_o opinion_n in_o a_o argumentative_a way_n either_o oppose_a or_o defend_v the_o parliament_n cause_n and_o treatise_n be_v print_v on_o both_o side_n many_o gentleman_n who_o forsake_v the_o parliament_n be_v very_o bitter_a against_o it_o for_o the_o proceed_n in_o religion_n in_o countenance_v or_o not_o suppress_v the_o rudeness_n of_o people_n in_o church_n which_o i_o relate_v before_o act_v those_o thing_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o english_a church_n and_o may_v introduce_v all_o kind_n of_o sect_n

against_o any_o such_o person_n for_o fear_n of_o lose_v a_o considerable_a party_n as_o be_v say_v before_o other_o thought_n and_o say_v that_o by_o so_o do_v they_o will_v lose_v a_o far_o more_o

they_o i_o remember_v when_o the_o war_n be_v begin_v among_o those_o little_a treatise_n which_o be_v then_o publish_v as_o many_o there_o be_v without_o any_o name_n to_o they_o i_o find_v one_o in_o which_o the_o case_n be_v thus_o express_v to_o recite_v the_o word_n of_o it_o perchance_o say_v he_o too_o much_o insist_v upon_o religion_n and_o tax_v the_o king_n for_o affect_v popery_n have_v by_o accident_n weaken_v the_o parliament_n and_o bring_v party_n to_o the_o king_n it_o may_v seem_v a_o great_a paradox_n that_o the_o best_a and_o only_o necessary_a of_o all_o thing_n

that_o crime_n of_o the_o king_n which_o be_v without_o controversy_n and_o evident_a the_o violation_n of_o law_n and_o liberty_n and_o more_o than_o so_o for_o some_o suppose_v that_o the_o

now_o turn_v to_o his_o own_o advantage_n in_o a_o protestant_a kingdom_n and_o we_o may_v make_v this_o as_o paradoxical_a a_o supposition_n that_o if_o the_o king_n have_v never_o do_v any_o thing_n prejudicial_a to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n he_o will_v have_v find_v few_o protestant_n this_o parliament_n to_o take_v his_o part_n for_o then_o there_o be_v no_o dispute_n at_o all_o about_o
