this_o that_o i_o be_o now_o past_o my_o great_a climacterical_a and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o time_n that_o ever_o i_o appear_v in_o print_n neither_o will_v i_o have_v do_v so_o now_o unless_o

true_o i_o be_o somewhat_o the_o more_o willing_a to_o comply_v with_o this_o obligation_n because_o since_o the_o preach_n of_o this_o sermon_n i_o have_v be_v inform_v that_o some_o exception_n

and_o second_o in_o particular_a that_o by_o repeat_v and_o revive_v some_o pass_a miscarriage_n i_o have_v trespass_v against_o the_o act_n of_o indemnity_n now_o for_o answer_n to_o the_o former_a of_o these_o charge_n i_o shall_v humble_o offer_v it_o to_o your_o majesty_n consideration_n whether_o a_o divine_a even_o in_o the_o pulpit_n may_v not_o without_o exceed_v the_o compass_n of_o

a_o discourse_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v improper_a for_o a_o pulpit_n why_o do_v god_n himself_o in_o scripture_n command_v we_o to_o put_v man_n in_o mind_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o he_o do_v tit._n 3.1_o rom._n 13.1_o 1._o pet._n 2.13_o and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n or_o why_o be_v there_o homily_n for_o subjection_n and_o against_o rebellion_n command_v by_o sovereign_a authority_n to_o be_v read_v unto_o the_o people_n or_o last_o why_o be_v we_o enjoin_v by_o the_o very_a first_o canon_n of_o our_o church_n to_o preach_v four_o time_n a_o year_n at_o least_o upon_o this_o

ecclesiastical_a that_o be_v not_o derive_v from_o he_o which_o be_v all_o of_o they_o evident_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o king_n supremacy_n and_o sovereignty_n the_o same_o authority_n which_o enjoin_v we_o to_o preach_v for_o the_o one_o must_v needs_o allow_v we_o at_o least_o to_o preach_v against_o the_o other_o which_o be_v as_o much_o or_o more_o than_o i_o have_v do_v in_o this_o sermon_n i_o hope_v that_o neither_o your_o majesty_n nor_o any_o other_o impartial_a hearer_n or_o reader_n of_o it_o will_v blame_v i_o for_o not_o keep_v within_o the_o verge_n of_o my_o own_o

long_a a_o series_n of_o several_a form_n of_o tyranny_n and_o usurpation_n monarchy_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v put_v to_o death_n with_o your_o majesty_n bless_a father_n be_v again_o revive_v

be_v displease_v with_o the_o foregoing_a action_n will_v perhaps_o if_o they_o have_v be_v then_o present_a have_v take_v the_o same_o voice_n of_o god_n for_o a_o sign_n of_o his_o be_v displease_v with_o christ_n baptism_n for_o it_o be_v in_o thunder_n that_o he_o speak_v even_o then_o also_o but_o whether_o i_o be_o guilty_a of_o the_o first_o charge_n or_o no_o in_o meddle_v with_o thing_n improper_a for_o a_o pulpit_n which_o if_o true_a have_v be_v but_o a_o indiscretion_n only_o i_o be_o very_o sure_a i_o be_o not_o guilty_a of_o the_o second_o i_o mean_v of_o speak_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o act_n of_o indemnity_n which_o have_v be_v a_o high_a presumption_n in_o any_o man_n and_o in_o i_o a_o sin_n against_o my_o own_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n for_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o whatsoever_o promise_v a_o sovereign_a prince_n make_v unto_o his_o subject_n so_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o be_v not_o sinful_a he_o ought_v in_o prudence_n as_o well_o as_o in_o conscience_n to_o perform_v it_o yea_o though_o perhaps_o he_o must_v needs_o prejudice_v himself_o by_o it_o because_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n word_n be_v the_o best_a and_o high_a security_n he_o can_v give_v unto_o his_o subject_n he_o be_v better_o suffer_v a_o very_a great_a inconvenience_n by_o keep_v it_o then_o weaken_v the_o public_a security_n or_o hazard_v the_o lose_n of_o his_o credit_n with_o his_o people_n by_o break_v it_o which_o consideration_n make_v that_o wise_a and_o great_a prince_n henry_n the_o four_o your_o majesty_n grandfather_n so_o religious_a a_o observer_n of_o his_o word_n that_o neither_o the_o duke_n of_o mayne_n nor_o any_o other_o of_o his_o subject_n that_o have_v former_o stand_v out_o against_o he_o when_o they_o come_v to_o a_o agreement_n with_o he_o do_v ever_o desire_n or_o demand_v any_o other_o caution_n for_o security_n of_o their_o person_n and_o interest_n but_o the_o king_n word_n only_o and_o therefore_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o or_o any_o man_n else_o shall_v dare_v to_o suggest_v any_o thing_n unto_o your_o majesty_n either_o public_o or_o private_o in_o order_n to_o the_o violation_n of_o so_o sacred_a a_o bond_n as_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n be_v and_o have_v always_o be_v esteem_v to_o be_v especial_o when_o the_o thing_n itself_o which_o a_o king_n have_v grant_v or_o give_v his_o word_n for_o be_v so_o necessary_a in_o order_n to_o the_o settle_n of_o himself_o and_o of_o his_o kingdom_n as_o i_o believe_v a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n at_o this_o time_n and_o in_o this_o conjuncture_n of_o affair_n to_o be_v there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v after_o so_o general_a and_o long_o a_o disturbance_n and_o confusion_n to_o compose_v and_o quiet_a man_n mind_n by_o secure_v they_o from_o their_o fear_n or_o to_o beget_v a_o mutual_a confidence_n betwixt_o the_o prince_n and_o his_o people_n without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a either_o for_o the_o
