in_o that_o trust_n shall_v ever_o be_v trust_v again_o this_o sir_n be_v my_o opinion_n but_o if_o the_o house_n shall_v incline_v to_o any_o other_o way_n i_o shall_v ready_o comply_v provide_v a_o

a_o king_n of_o england_n at_o the_o head_n of_o his_o parliament_n be_v in_o his_o full_a strength_n and_o power_n and_o in_o his_o great_a splendour_n and_o glory_n it_o be_v then_o that_o he_o can_v do_v great_a thing_n and_o without_o a_o parliament_n he_o be_v not_o very_o formidable_a therefore_o when_o king_n leave_v off_o the_o use_n of_o parliament_n and_o rely_v upon_o the_o advice_n

consider_v that_o popery_n be_v so_o long_o profess_v in_o this_o nation_n to_o that_o a_o short_a answer_n will_v serve_v that_o the_o pope_n authority_n be_v never_o establish_v here_o by_o law_n although_o he_o be_v allow_v many_o thing_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o superstition_n and_o blindness_n that_o then_o overspread_v this_o island_n yet_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n can_v never_o

that_o she_o do_v her_o business_n and_o what_o promise_n do_v she_o make_v to_o they_o not_o to_o make_v any_o alteration_n in_o religion_n and_o say_v many_o other_o fine_a thing_n yet_o as_o soon_o as_o she_o be_v settle_v on_o the_o throne_n the_o first_o thing_n she_o do_v be_v to_o alter_v religion_n with_o the_o great_a violence_n and_o effusion_n of_o blood_n that_o be_v possible_a and_o these_o man_n of_o suffolk_n and_o norfolk_n feel_v the_o first_o stroke_n of_o her_o hand_n and_o perhaps_o the_o great_a heat_n of_o her_o fury_n but_o i_o have_v too_o far_o digress_v from_o my_o

prevent_v the_o common_a destruction_n and_o because_o by_o this_o practice_n he_o have_v absolve_v they_o of_o their_o allegiance_n therefore_o they_o depose_v he_o and_o set_v up_o his_o son_n vortimer_n because_o he_o be_v a_o true_a lover_n of_o his_o country_n there_o be_v several_a other_o instance_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n which_o will_v be_v needless_a to_o be_v cite_v because_o i_o shall_v rather_o amuse_v than_o satisfy_v you_o of_o the_o truth_n shall_v i_o recount_v they_o all_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o do_v conceive_v that_o the_o king_n until_o he_o be_v crown_v be_v not_o so_o much_o king_n to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n as_o he_o be_v after_o he_o be_v crown_v for_o if_o the_o crown_n of_o the_o king_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a ceremony_n or_o compliment_n of_o state_n and_o not_o essential_a in_o give_v he_o a_o right_n to_o the_o allegiance_n of_o the_o subject_a then_o certain_o no_o king_n of_o england_n will_v be_v trouble_v with_o the_o ceremony_n of_o be_v formal_o crown_v because_o then_o there_o will_v lie_v no_o obligation_n upon_o he_o to_o take_v the_o coronation_n oath_n and_o so_o he_o may_v be_v more_o at_o liberty_n to_o act_v according_a to_o his_o will_n because_o his_o conscience_n will_v not_o be_v clog_v with_o the_o weight_n of_o so_o solemn_a a_o oath_n and_o then_o with_o less_o infamy_n and_o reflection_n he_o may_v suspend_v or_o pervert_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n i_o be_o not_o convince_v that_o the_o king_n whilst_o he_o be_v uncrowned_a have_v that_o right_n in_o our_o allegiance_n as_o he_o have_v after_o that_o the_o crown_n be_v set_v upon_o his_o head_n in_o the_o same_o way_n that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v for_o before_o the_o crown_n be_v set_v upon_o his_o head_n by_o the_o archbishop_n or_o other_o person_n appoint_v to_o do_v it_o the_o nobility_n and_o people_n be_v ask_v if_o they_o will_v do_v their_o homage_n and_o service_n to_o he_o which_o by_o the_o way_n imply_v that_o the_o people_n be_v at_o liberty_n in_o the_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o he_o be_v crown_v it_o be_v by_o their_o leave_n and_o election_n then_o if_o the_o people_n consent_n the_o king_n take_v the_o coronation_n oath_n which_o be_v to_o preserve_v the_o church_n our_o law_n liberty_n and_o property_n and_o to_o administer_v justice_n indifferent_o and_o thus_o when_o he_o have_v swear_v to_o we_o the_o crown_n be_v immediate_o put_v upon_o his_o head_n and_o then_o the_o nobility_n and_o people_n do_v their_o homage_n to_o he_o and_o according_a to_o this_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n ever_o since_o there_o be_v king_n in_o england_n and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v scarce_o a_o instance_n where_o the_o people_n ever_o

to_o invalid_a a_o practice_n of_o several_a hundred_o year_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o piece_n of_o nonsense_n that_o we_o shall_v adventure_v our_o religion_n and_o property_n and_o all_o we_o have_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o that_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v have_v a_o obligation_n on_o he_o to_o ruin_v or_o give_v we_o up_o to_o a_o foreigner_n and_o not_o in_o the_o

and_o such_o contradiction_n will_v follow_v that_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v invent_v how_o to_o salve_v they_o but_o i_o acknowledge_v there_o be_v some_o instance_n where_o the_o people_n have_v swear_v to_o the_o succession_n in_o the_o life-time_n of_o the_o father_n and_o thence_o some_o do_v infer_v that_o the_o king_n be_v entitle_v to_o our_o allegiance_n before_o the_o crown_n be_v set_v on_o his_o head_n but_o this_o under_o correction_n will_v not_o hold_v for_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v but_o that_o the_o intend_a successor_n swear_v to_o they_o also_o at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a he_o do_v yet_o if_o he_o do_v not_o it_o can_v thence_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o king_n have_v right_o to_o our_o allegiance_n before_o he_o be_v crown_v for_o whenever_o it_o happen_v that_o the_o successor_n be_v swear_v to_o in_o the_o life-time_n of_o his_o father_n if_o afterward_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n he_o take_v the_o coronation_n oath_n before_o the_o people_n swear_v allegiance_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o a_o oath_n take_v to_o the_o successor_n in_o the_o life-time_n of_o his_o father_n be_v nothing_o more_o but_o a_o declare_v the_o good_a like_n they_o have_v of_o the_o successor_n and_o that_o if_o in_o case_n he_o will_v promise_v to_o defend_v they_o and_o their_o property_n when_o

do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o people_n will_v be_v very_o inclinable_a to_o swear_v to_o his_o succession_n next_o after_o the_o king_n and_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v never_o find_v it_o do_v but_o when_o the_o king_n have_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n or_o out_o of_o the_o hope_n they_o have_v in_o the_o successor_n for_o english_a man_n if_o the_o king_n please_v they_o he_o may_v

and_o also_o that_o they_o depose_v they_o very_o frequent_o and_o set_v up_o other_o in_o their_o stead_n when_o upon_o trial_n they_o be_v find_v unfit_a for_o the_o purpose_n he_o that_o say_v otherwise_o confess_v himself_o either_o not_o to_o have_v read_v our_o english_a story_n or_o that_o he_o understand_v not_o what_o he_o read_v and_o if_o yourself_o doubt_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o affirm_v i_o will_v at_o any_o time_n give_v you_o a_o particular_a account_n of_o it_o till_o the_o entrance_n of_o the_o norman_n william_n the_o first_o common_o call_v the_o conqueror_n we_o must_v begin_v with_o he_o who_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a have_v no_o right_a or_o title_n to_o the_o crown_n by_o inheritance_n or_o descent_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o he_o do_v not_o

he_o be_v alive_a william_n can_v not_o pretend_v any_o title_n by_o inheritance_n but_o must_v find_v out_o some_o other_o way_n to_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o therefore_o he_o pretend_v one_o while_o a_o compact_a between_o he_o and_o harold_n and_o again_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o he_o by_o edward_n the_o confessor_n by_o his_o will_n yet_o he_o find_v that_o all_o these_o be_v but_o empty_a sound_n for_o although_o he_o have_v a_o potent_a army_n by_o which_o he_o may_v have_v do_v great_a thing_n yet_o that_o army_n only_o bring_v he_o into_o england_n but_o it_o be_v the_o election_n of_o the_o people_n that_o
may_v have_v they_o and_o hence_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o son_n succeed_v the_o father_n as_o it_o befall_v in_o the_o case_n of_o henry_n iii_o his_o father_n k._n john_n have_v be_v quarrel_v with_o his_o baron_n and_o they_o call_v in_o lewis_n the_o f._n prince_n to_o their_o aid_n and_o several_a swear_v to_o he_o but_o k._n john_n die_v and_o the_o nation_n be_v

to_o admit_v lewis_n who_o be_v a_o foreigner_n or_o else_o that_o out_o of_o gratitude_n to_o the_o memory_n of_o their_o decease_a king_n who_o have_v do_v good_a thing_n for_o the_o nation_n they_o choose_v his_o son_n believe_v he_o to_o inherit_v his_o father_n virtue_n and_o therefore_o deserve_v the_o crown_n better_o than_o any_o other_o person_n as_o it_o befall_v in_o the_o case_n of_o edw._n ii_o and_o rich._n ii_o and_o hen._n vi._n who_o all_o deceive_v they_o and_o therefore_o be_v depose_v i_o think_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o instance_n where_o the_o son_n have_v follow_v his_o

happen_v in_o the_o case_n of_o rich._n i._n and_o edw._n i._n but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v without_o all_o dispute_n a_o know_a custom_n in_o england_n that_o where_o a_o man_n have_v any_o estate_n either_o real_a or_o personal_a if_o it_o come_v to_o he_o by_o descent_n although_o he_o have_v no_o further_a power_n of_o it_o yet_o during_o his_o life_n he_o may_v dispose_v of_o it_o as_o to_o

protection_n the_o people_n be_v discharge_v of_o their_o obedience_n to_o he_o because_o the_o obligation_n of_o protection_n and_o subjection_n be_v reciprocal_a nay_o i_o may_v presume_v to_o say_v that_o the_o people_n have_v a_o great_a right_o to_o be_v well_o govern_v than_o any_o king_n can_v have_v to_o his_o crown_n for_o their_o right_n of_o be_v well_o govern_v be_v first_o in_o

the_o government_n itself_o for_o that_o sort_n of_o government_n be_v most_o necessary_a that_o be_v best_a for_o the_o common_a good_n we_o now_o fit_v safe_o under_o our_o vine_n and_o figtree_n and_o every_o man_n may_v worship_n god_n without_o be_v hawl_v to_o a_o goal_n the_o bone_n be_v take_v away_o that_o the_o papist_n use_v to_o throw_v among_o protestant_n to_o set_v they_o together_o by_o the_o ear_n and_o true_o it_o be_v always_o my_o opinion_n that_o it_o will_v never_o go_v well_o with_o england_n till_o every_o man_n may_v worship_v god_n in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o this_o be_v thus_o happy_o accomplish_v i_o do_v beg_v your_o permission_n to_o offer_v my_o advice_n which_o be_v this_o that_o all_o protestant_n will_v now_o unite_v against_o the_o common_a enemy_n and_o forbear_v all_o distinction_n and_o revile_n though_o we_o may_v differ_v in_o some_o thing_n yet_o let_v we_o neither_o reproach_n he_o that_o go_v to_o his_o parish_n church_n nor_o be_v scandalize_v at_o he_o that_o go_v to_o a_o barn_n let_v no_o man_n be_v offend_v at_o a_o liturgy_n or_o set_v form_n of_o prayer_n nor_o think_v extempore_o prayer_n be_v unacceptable_a to_o god_n every_o tub_n must_v stand_v on_o its_o own_o bottom_n therefore_o let_v every_o man_n be_v more_o careful_a to_o mind_n and_o mend_v his_o own_o fail_n than_o to_o observe_v the_o fault_n of_o other_o let_v every_o man_n live_v up_o to_o the_o doctrine_n he_o profess_v and_o sincere_o act_v according_a to_o his_o principle_n and_o prefer_v the_o public_a before_o any_o private_a interest_n and_o then_o it_o will_v go_v well_o with_o they_o here_o and_o hereafter_o thus_o have_v i_o give_v you_o my_o scatter_a thought_n which_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o put_v together_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v with_o the_o short_a leisure_n i_o have_v have_v as_o to_o the_o particular_a business_n of_o this_o day_n it_o will_v be_v needless_a to_o offer_v you_o any_o direction_n your_o oath_n have_v sufficient_o instruct_v you_o and_o i_o suppose_v most_o if_o not_o all_o of_o you_o understand_v your_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v inform_v you_o therefore_o i_o will_v only_o say_v that_o whatever_o be_v a_o offence_n against_o the_o law_n be_v presentable_a by_o you_o your_o country_n have_v repose_v a_o great_a and_o honourable_a trust_n in_o you_o and_o i_o do_v doubt_v your_o good_a and_o faithful_a discharge_n of_o it_o only_o this_o i_o desire_v to_o recommend_v to_o you_o that_o you_o will_v not_o find_v any_o indictment_n or_o presentment_n upon_o suspicious_a or_o slight_a evidence_n for_o it_o be_v unjust_a unreasonable_a and_o may_v be_v of_o fatal_a consequence_n to_o ourselves_o or_o our_o posterity_n a_o man_n reputation_n be_v a_o precious_a thing_n and_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v trouble_v unnecessary_o and_o i_o do_v rather_o give_v you_o this_o caution_n because_o it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o late_a time_n and_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v rather_o reform_v their_o practice_n than_o follow_v they_o and_o come_v near_o to_o the_o golden_a rule_n of_o do_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v by_o but_o in_o say_v this_o i_o do_v design_n to_o lead_v you_o out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o justice_n that_o any_o who_o have_v offend_v the_o law_n shall_v escape_v punishment_n let_v the_o guilty_a receive_v the_o reward_n of_o their_o do_n and_o the_o innocent_a suffer_v no_o wrong_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v a_o happy_a people_n so_o i_o will_v trouble_v you_o no_o further_o but_o to_o pray_v god_n to_o direct_v you_o in_o your_o business_n some_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o presbyterian_a but_o a_o popish_a plot_n and_o against_o the_o villainy_n of_o inform_v in_o 1681._o i_o will_v trouble_v you_o but_o with_o a_o few_o word_n before_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o particular_n of_o your_o charge_n and_o i_o hope_v no_o body_n of_o the_o protestant_a persuasion_n will_v be_v offend_v at_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v i_o have_v hear_v it_o positive_o affirm_v that_o 80_o &_o 81._o be_v become_v 40_o &_o 41._o that_o the_o same_o game_n be_v now_o play_v that_o be_v then_o if_o by_o this_o be_v
