their_o favourite_n do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n pick_v up_o mean_a man_n people_n of_o no_o fortune_n or_o estate_n upon_o who_o it_o be_v that_o they_o place_v their_o favour_n to_o so_o high_a a_o degree_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v for_o their_o interest_n to_o advise_v the_o king_n to_o govern_v by_o a_o army_n for_o if_o he_o prevail_v than_o they_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v what_o heart_n can_v wish_v or_o if_o he_o fail_v yet_o they_o be_v but_o where_o they_o be_v they_o have_v no_o thing_n and_o they_o can_v loose_v nothing_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o very_o plain_o see_v that_o there_o be_v people_n about_o his_o majesty_n who_o advise_v he_o to_o shake_v off_o the_o fetter_n of_o the_o law_n and_o to_o govern_v arbitrary_o and_o i_o wish_v that_o their_o advice_n have_v not_o prevail_v for_o the_o most_o part_n yet_o i_o think_v his_o majesty_n own_o inclination_n do_v not_o bend_v that_o way_n for_o he_o seem_v to_o love_v quiet_a and_o ease_n which_o no_o prince_n can_v have_v that_o rule_n by_o a_o army_n therefore_o before_o we_o can_v expect_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v come_v in_o to_o we_o these_o people_n of_o arbitrary_a principle_n must_v be_v remove_v from_o his_o throne_n for_o while_o there_o be_v the_o same_o adviser_n we_o must_v expect_v the_o same_o advice_n while_o there_o be_v the_o same_o councillor_n we_o must_v expect_v the_o same_o result_v and_o this_o alone_a will_v not_o do_v it_o it_o be_v but_o the_o first_o step_n to_o our_o happiness_n the_o principle_n or_o maxim_n of_o state_n must_v be_v remove_v it_o be_v not_o take_v away_o this_o or_o the_o other_o man_n and_o put_v in_o another_o to_o act_n by_o the_o same_o rule_n that_o will_v cure_v our_o disease_n but_o it_o be_v the_o change_n of_o principle_n that_o must_v do_v it_o you_o may_v remember_v in_o the_o last_o parliament_n the_o change_n that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o privy_a council_n and_o minister_n and_o upon_o the_o first_o news_n of_o it_o i_o meet_v with_o a_o gentleman_n that_o have_v a_o great_a service_n for_o white-hall_n say_v he_o i_o hope_v now_o you_o be_v please_v what_o can_v you_o expect_v more_o from_o his_o majesty_n i_o reply_v i_o like_v it_o well_o yet_o not_o so_o very_o well_o for_o say_v i_o all_o be_v well_o that_o end_v well_o for_o all_o be_v not_o gold_n that_o glister_v i_o be_o not_o sure_a that_o these_o man_n that_o be_v put_v out_o have_v not_o leave_v their_o principle_n behind_o they_o when_o those_o be_v go_v i_o shall_v like_v it_o very_o well_o the_o man_n be_v angry_a and_o fling_v away_o say_v you_o be_v hard_a to_o please_v and_o say_v i_o you_o be_v easy_a and_o so_o we_o part_v and_o i_o pray_v you_o how_o much_o wool_n have_v we_o have_v after_o all_o this_o cry_n what_o benefit_n have_v we_o reap_v by_o that_o change_n do_v not_o we_o see_v that_o unless_o they_o will_v act_v by_o the_o maxim_n of_o their_o predecessor_n they_o must_v do_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o several_a do_v desire_n leave_v to_o go_v off_o some_o of_o these_o worthy_a lord_n and_o gentleman_n that_o do_v so_o be_v now_o in_o my_o eye_n and_o i_o shall_v ever_o honour_v they_o for_o it_o i_o can_v forget_v the_o promise_n make_v to_o the_o parliament_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o how_o well_o they_o have_v be_v keep_v therefore_o i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o till_o these_o principle_n be_v remove_v from_o whitehall_n that_o all_o our_o labour_n and_o pain_n will_v end_v in_o nothing_o the_o way_n then_o as_o i_o conceive_v to_o do_v this_o be_v to_o lay_v before_o his_o majesty_n the_o state_n of_o the_o case_n let_v we_o show_v he_o how_o unable_a these_o man_n be_v to_o serve_v he_o and_o how_o destructive_a to_o his_o interest_n it_o be_v to_o follow_v their_o advice_n and_o that_o he_o can_v be_v safe_a and_o great_a only_o by_o close_v with_o his_o parliament_n will_v his_o majesty_n be_v safe_a alas_o what_o can_v his_o creature_n do_v just_a nothing_o they_o have_v no_o power_n nor_o have_v they_o will_v further_o than_o it_o serve_v for_o their_o own_o advantage_n but_o his_o majesty_n be_v safe_a in_o his_o parliament_n for_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o every_o man_n in_o england_n to_o preserve_v and_o defend_v his_o majesty_n govern_v by_o his_o parliament_n do_v he_o want_v money_n to_o make_v he_o easy_a i_o pray_v what_o can_v he_o expect_v from_o the_o caterpillar_n his_o favourite_n their_o care_n be_v not_o how_o to_o serve_v he_o but_o to_o make_v their_o own_o fortune_n but_o from_o his_o parliament_n he_o need_v not_o want_v very_o plentiful_a supply_n to_o preserve_v the_o honour_n of_o himself_o and_o the_o kingdom_n will_v he_o maintain_v his_o dominion_n and_o right_n what_o can_v his_o creature_n do_v but_o when_o he_o close_v with_o his_o parliament_n he_o can_v neither_o want_v the_o head_n heart_n and_o purse_n of_o his_o people_n to_o serve_v he_o so_o that_o whatever_o his_o majesty_n will_v have_v it_o be_v only_o to_o be_v have_v by_o his_o parliament_n for_o his_o favourite_n can_v in_o the_o least_o contribute_v to_o make_v he_o safe_a or_o honourable_a or_o whatever_o else_o a_o king_n may_v want_v or_o desire_v all_o the_o use_v a_o king_n can_v have_v from_o his_o favourite_n be_v to_o have_v story_n and_o lie_n to_o set_v he_o at_o variance_n with_o his_o people_n i_o hope_v when_o the_o case_n be_v lay_v before_o his_o majesty_n that_o he_o will_v close_v with_o we_o but_o if_o his_o judgement_n be_v so_o prepossess_v that_o it_o will_v not_o convince_v he_o of_o his_o interest_n than_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v with_o he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o rehoboam_n who_o forsake_v the_o council_n of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o incline_v to_o that_o of_o the_o young_a man_n who_o counsel_v he_o to_o tell_v the_o people_n that_o his_o little_a finger_n shall_v be_v thick_a than_o his_o father_n loin_n and_o i_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o huff_a speech_n why_o ten_o tribe_n be_v take_v from_o he_o and_o it_o be_v not_o his_o young_a man_n that_o can_v recover_v they_o for_o he_o again_o neither_o be_v it_o without_o a_o parliament_n that_o his_o majesty_n be_v bring_v into_o england_n i_o hope_v his_o majesty_n have_v not_o forget_v it_o let_v they_o advise_v what_o they_o will_v but_o i_o be_o confident_a they_o will_v think_v on_o it_o a_o good_a while_n before_o they_o will_v adventure_v to_o put_v those_o arbitrary_a council_n into_o execution_n it_o will_v prove_v a_o hot_a matter_n to_o handle_v for_o though_o i_o hope_v no_o man_n here_o will_v lift_v up_o his_o hand_n against_o his_o majesty_n yet_o we_o may_v oppose_v any_o man_n that_o do_v seek_v to_o

for_o i_o fear_v the_o house_n be_v under_o a_o great_a mistake_n as_o to_o those_o gentleman_n of_o the_o house_n who_o be_v put_v out_o of_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o peace_n for_o it_o be_v to_o speak_v to_o that_o chief_o i_o stand_v up_o i_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v a_o unanswerable_a thing_n that_o other_o gentleman_n be_v put_v out_o but_o no_o doubt_n it_o be_v upon_o very_o
