turn_v to_o my_o inconveniency_n or_o prejudice_n therefore_o i_o crave_v your_o lordship_n pardon_v in_o general_n for_o the_o trouble_n that_o these_o paper_n may_v have_v occasion_v promise_v

any_o sober_a people_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o do_v for_o although_o they_o have_v a_o great_a regard_n to_o monarchy_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o so_o much_o indulge_v it_o as_o arbitrarious_o to_o disannul_v those_o law_n by_o which_o we_o enjoy_v as_o happy_o as_o any_o people_n in_o the_o world_n our_o religion_n and_o property_n which_o god_n continue_v long_o for_o i_o be_o near_o a_o

up_o to_o a_o complete_a number_n equal_a to_o their_o officer_n if_o occasion_n require_v or_o a_o great_a number_n upon_o emergent_a necessity_n such_o as_o have_v be_v discourse_v of_o the_o

military_a power_n who_o have_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o all_o design_a insult_v over_o we_o either_o by_o french_a power_n or_o popish_a design_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o be_v of_o courage_n

this_o i_o say_v because_o i_o in_o part_n know_v and_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v more_o than_o i_o know_v that_o many_o of_o quality_n great_a and_o good_a estate_n have_v venture_v life_n and_o fortune_n rather_o for_o preservation_n of_o the_o constitution_n and_o those_o law_n that_o preserve_v cur_n religion_n and_o property_n than_o obtain_v self_n interest_n it_o be_v apparent_a few_o have_v gain_v advantage_n by_o these_o war_n and_o it_o be_v now_o as_o clear_v to_o the_o world_n by_o the_o general_a peace_n that_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o confederacy_n enter_v into_o and_o maintain_v the_o war_n the_o best_a they_o can_v rather_o upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o property_n than_o religion_n for_o we_o hear_v very_o little_a of_o any_o article_n in_o the_o peace_n concern_v religion_n unless_o some_o mention_n of_o the_o vaudois_n but_o many_o in_o this_o island_n have_v venture_v their_o person_n and_o all_o of_o we_o our_o money_n very_o free_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o the_o main_a of_o the_o argument_n have_v be_v the_o defence_n of_o religion_n for_o which_o i_o have_v hear_v several_a officer_n declare_v themselves_o such_o champion_n that_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v think_v there_o be_v any_o danger_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o obey_v his_o command_n yet_o if_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n think_v it_o secure_v they_o be_v willing_a to_o turn_v their_o sword_n into_o ploughshare_n these_o disposition_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v and_o admire_v and_o deserve_v encouragement_n by_o honour_n and_o reward_n it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v

long_a experience_n and_o acquaintance_n for_o above_o seven_o year_n in_o all_o which_o time_n we_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o a_o mutiny_n or_o desertion_n in_o the_o army_n which_o be_v a_o clear_a

all_o doubt_n will_v keep_v the_o army_n steady_a to_o he_o though_o he_o shall_v outlive_v most_o or_o all_o of_o his_o veterane_n soldier_n the_o inconvenience_n or_o danger_n of_o a_o stand_a army_n in_o this_o island_n will_v be_v at_o the_o change_n of_o the_o person_n at_o the_o helm_n of_o the_o government_n for_o though_o we_o have_v all_o the_o assurance_n man_n can_v wish_v for_o that_o this_o king_n who_o have_v preserve_v our_o constitution_n from_o dangerous_a attempt_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v will_v all_o his_o time_n establish_v or_o amend_v our_o law_n but_o the_o doubt_n or_o fear_n be_v whether_o his_o successor_n or_o successor_n have_v a_o mercenary_a army_n at_o their_o command_n may_v not_o alter_v the_o constitution_n to_o their_o own_o

their_o humour_n several_a instance_n we_o have_v of_o this_o kind_n in_o history_n the_o roman_a history_n afford_v innumerable_a instance_n of_o their_o potentate_n and_o general_n come_v to_o untimely_a end_n by_o the_o revolt_v mutiny_n and_o bribing_n of_o mercenary_a man_n when_o they_o have_v decline_v employ_v their_o arm_n abroad_o and_o fall_v into_o animosity_n and_o contention_n among_o themselves_o which_o have_v be_v more_o fatal_a to_o england_n than_o foreign_a enemy_n nor_o do_v ever_o any_o foreigner_n come_v here_o without_o invitation_n and_o as_o for_o our_o
