and_o memorable_a that_o the_o french_a king_n have_v once_o in_o his_o life_n make_v good_a his_o word_n and_o keep_v his_o faith_n for_o so_o the_o late_a king_n james_n tell_v we_o he_o have_v do_v with_o he_o in_o pursuance_n of_o the_o many_o oblige_a promise_n he_o have_v make_v he_o of_o give_v he_o effectual_a assistance_n for_o the_o recovery_n of_o his_o kingdom_n &c_n &c_n effectual_a assistance_n be_v a_o big_a word_n and_o more_o than_o the_o great_a and_o most_o puissant_a king_n be_v able_a always_o to_o make_v good_a however_o i_o be_o glad_a to_o see_v they_o begin_v to_o endeavour_v to_o perform_v their_o promise_n to_o one_o another_o it_o be_v a_o good_a quality_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v they_o may_v in_o time_n extend_v it_o further_o but_o this_o satisfy_v i_o that_o the_o french_a king_n think_v it_o his_o interest_n to_o restore_v the_o late_a king_n james_n for_o he_o be_v never_o know_v to_o keep_v his_o promise_n against_o his_o interest_n and_o it_o be_v somewhat_o surprise_v that_o the_o french_a king_n and_o english_a protestant_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o interest_n he_o seem_v sensible_a that_o french_a troop_n will_v not_o be_v very_o welcome_a in_o england_n and_o therefore_o to_o qualify_v this_o matter_n he_o say_v that_o the_o french_a king_n at_o his_o desire_n have_v purposely_o decline_v send_v over_o force_n so_o numerous_a as_o may_v raise_v any_o jealousy_n of_o a_o french_a conquest_n for_o that_o be_v the_o plain_a english_a of_o it_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v keep_v under_o exact_a discipline_n while_o they_o be_v here_o and_o that_o he_o will_v send_v they_o home_o again_o when_o he_o be_v full_o settle_v in_o the_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a possession_n of_o his_o kingdom_n but_o i_o thank_v god_n with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n now_o of_o these_o french_a troop_n come_v into_o england_n which_o be_v a_o much_o great_a security_n to_o we_o than_o both_o these_o king_n promise_v for_o their_o good_a behaviour_n here_o or_o for_o their_o return_n home_o again_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o one_o of_o they_o can_v not_o keep_v his_o word_n if_o he_o will_v and_o it_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o the_o other_o will_v not_o as_o it_o be_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v his_o interest_n to_o do_v it_o for_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o french_a king_n to_o keep_v his_o promise_n of_o send_v troop_n into_o england_n and_o to_o keep_v his_o promise_n of_o send_v no_o more_o than_o the_o late_a king_n james_n want_v or_o of_o call_v they_o home_o again_o when_o he_o want_v they_o no_o long_o but_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o more_o particular_a observation_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o and_o the_o conclusion_n of_o this_o paragraph_n require_v it_o brief_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v not_o in_o the_o declaration_n which_o the_o people_n of_o england_n have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o have_v expect_v in_o it_o now_o i_o can_v find_v but_o very_o little_a in_o it_o i_o may_v with_o great_a truth_n say_v nothing_o which_o a_o reasonable_a man_n who_o remember_v the_o late_a reign_n especial_o the_o conclusion_n of_o it_o will_v have_v expect_v in_o such_o a_o declaration_n if_o the_o design_n of_o such_o a_o declaration_n be_v to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o mind_n of_o his_o subject_n it_o ought_v at_o least_o to_o have_v contain_v as_o good_a word_n and_o fair_a promise_n as_o a_o prince_n can_v give_v he_o know_v very_o well_o what_o it_o be_v that_o have_v alienate_v his_o subject_n from_o he_o that_o they_o apprehend_v their_o law_n their_o religion_n and_o their_o liberty_n to_o be_v in_o

and_o may_v have_v know_v that_o they_o will_v never_o fetch_v he_o from_o france_n again_o nor_o willing_o receive_v he_o with_o a_o french_a power_n what_o a_o happy_a opportunity_n he_o now_o have_v to_o recover_v his_o kingdom_n again_o by_o french_a troop_n i_o suppose_v by_o this_o time_n he_o begin_v to_o discern_v and_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v prove_v a_o very_a happy_a opportunity_n for_o his_o dear_a ally_n to_o lose_v he_o he_o have_v show_v he_o by_o his_o own_o example_n what_o to_o do_v in_o such_o case_n and_o the_o english_a parliament_n have_v teach_v the_o french_a

of_o the_o government_n whatever_o it_o be_v in_o law_n i_o be_o sure_a in_o common_a sense_n the_o throne_n be_v actual_o empty_a when_o no_o body_n be_v in_o it_o and_o no_o body_n be_v in_o it_o when_o there_o be_v no_o authority_n in_o the_o nation_n to_o administer_v the_o government_n and_o when_o the_o throne_n be_v empty_a the_o estate_n of_o the_o realm_n who_o be_v the_o only_a

and_o this_o they_o have_v do_v not_o by_o turn_v a_o ancient_a hereditary_a monarchy_n into_o a_o elective_a but_o by_o place_v the_o next_o undoubted_a heir_n on_o the_o throne_n and_o though_o he_o

when_o it_o be_v declare_v vacant_a and_o fill_v by_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o nation_n there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o he_o there_o as_o for_o the_o convention_n of_o estate_n when_o there_o be_v no_o king_n on_o the_o throne_n we_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o they_o be_v a_o formal_a parliament_n for_o that_o must_v have_v a_o king_n at_o the_o head_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o
