fort_n any_o man_n land_n dig_v to_o make_v a_o trench_n with_o multitude_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n according_a to_o the_o necessity_n and_o exigency_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n therefore_o this_o propriety_n without_o necessity_n can_v be_v dangerous_a nay_o a_o man_n may_v say_v that_o without_o this_o propriety_n we_o shall_v not_o have_v a_o legal_a but_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o that_o which_o he_o himself_o have_v suppose_v to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o commonwealth_n be_v institute_v will_v be_v frustrate_v which_o be_v that_o man_n may_v peaceable_o sow_v and_o reap_v and_o enjoy_v the_o profit_n of_o their_o industry_n which_o if_o the_o supreme_a may_v lawful_o take_v away_o together_o with_o their_o estate_n for_o the_o support_n of_o his_o condition_n it_o will_v quick_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o a_o estate_n invest_v in_o the_o crown_n may_v be_v the_o prey_n of_o other_o subject_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o church_n revenue_n which_o although_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n time_n it_o be_v alienable_a to_o none_o but_o the_o crown_n yet_o we_o know_v that_o from_o thence_o it_o pass_v to_o mean_a tenant_n until_o king_n james_n most_o happy_o give_v a_o stop_n unto_o it_o by_o enact_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o afterward_o pass_v to_o the_o crown_n so_o that_o this_o can_v fit_o be_v term_v a_o hindrance_n without_o which_o a_o commonwealth_n lose_v the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v institute_v but_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o speak_v to_o the_o main_a proposition_n itself_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v difficult_a to_o raise_v just_a sum_n for_o the_o defence_n or_o good_a of_o the_o public_a every_o man_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o it_o and_o they_o be_v reasonable_a creature_n which_o will_v consider_v both_o their_o

certain_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a great_a one_o but_o let_v he_o consider_v whether_o this_o way_n of_o their_o consent_n to_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n be_v not_o a_o decent_a way_n of_o do_v it_o for_o first_o we_o may_v consider_v that_o few_o person_n of_o great_a estate_n do_v know_v their_o own_o estate_n much_o less_o a_o monarch_n of_o a_o great_a kingdom_n how_o then_o can_v he_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o just_a esteem_n of_o every_o private_a man_n estate_n to_o proportion_v he_o just_o to_o that_o service_n this_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o such_o person_n who_o be_v universal_o acquaint_v with_o the_o generality_n and_o without_o a_o equality_n upon_o some_o legal_a measure_n the_o tax_n will_v be_v unjust_a and_o the_o execution_n no_o doubt_n worse_o second_o as_o to_o the_o make_v a_o tax_n for_o such_o a_o supply_n the_o commonalty_n be_v necessary_a for_o by_o they_o the_o collection_n will_v be_v more_o speedy_a than_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o a_o difficulty_n which_o may_v easy_o be_v take_v away_o by_o let_v they_o see_v what_o necessity_n there_o be_v of_o such_o a_o aid_n i_o mean_v not_o to_o meddle_v with_o these_o dispute_n and_o then_o no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v be_v so_o prudent_a in_o the_o execution_n of_o their_o trust_n as_o to_o give_v a_o proper_a assistance_n or_o else_o they_o be_v mad_a or_o worse_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o point_n with_o that_o passage_n in_o those_o incomparable_a direction_n which_o that_o ever_o to_o be_v honour_v king_n charles_n the_o first_o give_v his_o son_n in_o his_o own_o word_n which_o none_o else_o can_v imitate_v near_o much_o less_o match_n speak_v of_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n which_o he_o shall_v govern_v by_o sai_z which_o by_o a_o admirable_a temperance_n give_v very_o much_o to_o subject_n industry_n liberty_n and_o happiness_n and_o yet_o reserve_v enough_o to_o the_o majesty_n and_o prerogative_n of_o any_o king_n who_o own_v his_o people_n as_o subject_n not_o as_o slave_n and_o i_o may_v say_v who_o can_v add_v any_o thing_n to_o what_o this_o most_o incomparable_a king_n have_v write_v down_o which_o be_v matchless_a yea_o what_o he_o speak_v afterward_o of_o the_o shift_n king_n be_v put_v to_o and_o the_o comparison_n mr._n hobbs_n make_v of_o this_o disease_n to_o a_o ague_n i_o let_v pass_v and_o do_v only_o affirm_v that_o such_o discourse_n savour_v of_o a_o ill_a disposition_n to_o this_o government_n and_o as_o i_o can_v guess_v can_v tend_v to_o no_o good_a neither_o then_o when_o they_o be_v first_o print_v nor_o afterward_o i_o mean_v to_o trouble_v the_o reader_n no_o further_o with_o his_o observation_n of_o these_o lesser_a disease_n as_o he_o term_v they_o in_o a_o
