their_o own_o heart_n can_v true_o say_v and_o not_o pretend_v it_o only_o that_o their_o chief_a aim_n in_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o war_n be_v to_o do_v their_o king_n and_o country_n service_n in_o procure_v or_o preserve_v the_o peace_n thereof_o which_o no_o man_n can_v true_o say_v but_o he_o that_o prefer_v the_o public_a good_a and_o the_o peace_n of_o his_o country_n before_o all_o private_a interest_n the_o trial_n whereof_o be_v if_o he_o take_v up_o arm_n with_o this_o resolution_n and_o by_o he_o after_o carriage_n make_v it_o good_a not_o to_o do_v any_o

obtain_n of_o that_o end_n which_o qualification_n suppose_v i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o a_o man_n may_v find_v warrant_n to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o soldier_n as_o his_o proper_a profession_n and_o that_o in_o two_o case_n 6._o first_o that_o which_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o employment_n itself_o be_v rather_o a_o office_n than_o a_o profession_n such_o as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v the_o shoulder_n employment_n to_o be_v may_v yet_o become_v to_o the_o person_n so_o employ_v as_o his_o proper_a profession_n if_o he_o shall_v be_v appoint_v thereunto_o by_o lawful_a authority_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v do_v with_o a_o declare_a intention_n whether_o express_o or_o interpretative_o declare_v of_o continue_v he_o for_o life_n or_o for_o any_o long_a space_n in_o the_o same_o and_o that_o the_o say_a employment_n during_o such_o his_o continuance_n therein_o shall_v require_v his_o personal_a attendance_n either_o constant_o or_o for_o the_o most_o part_n as_o for_o example_n a_o lawyer_n by_o profession_n and_o practice_n be_v by_o his_o sovereign_n call_v to_o be_v a_o judge_n of_o either_o bench_n or_o a_o baron_n of_o the_o exchequer_n the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n be_v now_o become_v his_o profession_n or_o particular_a vocation_n because_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o he_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o that_o office_n and_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o office_n will_v require_v his_o attendance_n thereupon_o in_o the_o yearly_a term_n and_o circuit_n but_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v appoint_v a_o sergeant_n or_o counsellor_n at_o the_o law_n by_o his_o particular_a commission_n to_o ride_v this_o summer_n circuit_n into_o such_o and_o such_o country_n and_o there_o to_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n the_o party_n so_o constitute_v and_o appoint_v have_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o commission_n full_a power_n to_o do_v the_o office_n of_o judge_n in_o that_o circuit_n and_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v and_o honour_v with_o the_o title_n of_o lord_n and_o all_o other_o testimony_n of_o honour_n and_o respect_n in_o as_o much_o ample_a manner_n as_o other_o judge_n in_o their_o circuit_n be_v yet_o do_v he_o not_o thereby_o come_v to_o be_v denominate_v a_o judge_n as_o if_o that_o be_v his_o proper_a profession_n or_o ordinary_a call_v as_o in_o the_o former_a case_n because_o he_o be_v impower_v to_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n but_o during_o the_o time_n of_o that_o circuit_n only_o nor_o be_v his_o attendance_n upon_o that_o office_n any_o long_o require_v or_o so_o much_o as_o allow_v he_o in_o like_a manner_n if_o the_o king_n of_o england_n shall_v make_v choice_n of_o some_o person_n of_o quality_n to_o be_v governor_n of_o dover_n castle_n or_o of_o barwick_n that_o office_n than_o be_v as_o his_o profession_n or_o particular_a call_v because_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v he_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o that_o employment_n and_o to_o attend_v the_o same_o until_o the_o king_n pleasure_n be_v further_o know_v therein_o but_o if_o the_o king_n upon_o some_o sudden_a insurrection_n and_o invasion_n shall_v raise_v a_o army_n and_o make_v choice_n of_o some_o person_n of_o like_a quality_n to_o have_v the_o conduct_v thereof_o for_o the_o suppress_v or_o repel_v such_o insurrection_n or_o invasion_n his_o employment_n in_o that_o service_n be_v but_o temporary_a and_o to_o determine_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o business_n be_v end_v shall_v not_o otherwise_o then_o in_o courtesy_n denominate_v he_o a_o general_n or_o at_o least_o not_o be_v esteem_v as_o his_o permanent_a profession_n but_o only_o as_o a_o transient_a office_n this_o be_v one_o case_n 7._o the_o other_o case_n which_o be_v more_o pertinent_a to_o the_o business_n of_o these_o letter_n be_v of_o such_o as_o desire_v to_o employ_v themselves_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o arm_n in_o foreign_a service_n that_o they_o may_v attain_v to_o such_o knowledge_n or_o experience_n in_o the_o art_n military_a as_o may_v the_o better_o enable_v they_o to_o do_v their_o king_n and_o country_n service_n whensoever_o there_o shall_v be_v need_n thereof_o for_o since_o the_o manegery_n of_o warr_n be_v long_o since_o grow_v into_o a_o art_n and_o that_o not_o to_o be_v learn_v from_o book_n or_o from_o private_a study_n but_o to_o be_v
