the_o case_n of_o a_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n consider_v and_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_z vindicated_n in_o a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n london_n print_v for_o the_o author_n 1693._o sir_n i_o be_v great_o amaze_v to_o hear_v you_o the_o other_o day_n so_o passionate_o concern_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n as_o though_o our_o whole_a stake_n and_o safety_n depend_v on_o its_o pass_v on_o the_o nation_n this_o convince_v i_o that_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a for_o people_n to_o intend_v the_o same_o end_n by_o the_o most_o different_a mean_n imaginable_a for_o i_o very_o believe_v there_o be_v not_o two_o man_n in_o england_n that_o in_o their_o heart_n do_v more_o sincere_o love_v their_o present_a majesty_n nor_o that_o according_a to_o their_o poor_a capacity_n and_o station_n serve_v they_o better_o than_o you_o and_o i._o and_o yet_o i_o tell_v you_o now_o as_o i_o forbear_v not_o to_o tell_v you_o then_o that_o i_o think_v a_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n be_v as_o unlikely_a a_o thing_n to_o serve_v their_o present_a majesty_n as_o any_o one_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o you_o tell_v i_o then_o moreover_o that_o some_o good_a understanding_n people_n of_o your_o acquaintance_n be_v very_o much_o offend_v at_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o for_o throw_v out_o that_o bill_n twice_o in_o two_o successive_a session_n and_o that_o they_o be_v look_v upon_o rather_o as_o enemy_n than_o friend_n to_o the_o present_a government_n i_o tell_v you_o then_o moreover_o that_o your_o acquaintance_n may_v be_v both_o good_a and_o understand_a people_n but_o that_o they_o make_v very_o bold_a with_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o be_v not_o understanding_n enough_o in_o these_o affair_n to_o pass_v a_o true_a judgement_n on_o they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o pernicious_a thing_n to_o look_v on_o all_o that_o be_v not_o of_o our_o mind_n as_o enemy_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o sure_a than_o that_o two_o party_n may_v do_v as_o you_o and_o i_o do_v differ_v exceed_o in_o the_o mean_n of_o secure_v and_o support_v the_o government_n and_o yet_o both_o wish_v and_o intend_v the_o secure_n and_o support_v of_o it_o as_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n to_o be_v make_v but_o both_o side_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o do_v both_o side_n may_v be_v right_a in_o their_o intention_n i._n e._n intend_v the_o peace_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o kingdom_n though_o the_o mean_n they_o pitch_v upon_o may_v be_v very_o different_a so_o different_a that_o the_o contrary_a side_n may_v fancy_v they_o be_v true_o destructive_a of_o the_o end_n they_o aim_v at_o without_o believe_v that_o the_o person_n concern_v design_v any_o other_o than_o good_a to_o their_o majesty_n and_o the_o kingdom_n with_o this_o you_o seem_v to_o be_v for_o the_o present_a satisfy_v but_o since_o i_o understand_v you_o begin_v to_o change_v your_o mind_n again_o and_o desire_v i_o to_o set_v down_o in_o write_v upon_o what_o reason_n i_o ground_n my_o opinion_n of_o the_o mischief_n of_o a_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n and_o send_v they_o to_o you_o i_o have_v agree_v to_o do_v so_o and_o i_o suppose_v i_o shall_v sufficient_o satisfy_v all_o your_o scruple_n if_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o a_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n be_v altogether_o new_a
