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

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 prince_n or_o people_n ever_o to_o be_v happy_a in_o one_o another_o and_o therefore_o

make_v we_o instead_o of_o judge_v condemn_a upbraid_v and_o hate_v one_o another_o to_o judge_v condemn_v and_o abhor_v ourselves_o and_o consequent_o to_o justify_v god_n in_o his_o judgement_n upon_o we_o all_o so_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o late_a namely_o that_o the_o have_v of_o many_o prince_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o late_a many_a and_o great_a misery_n will_v first_o convince_v we_o of_o our_o former_a folly_n in_o believe_v so_o easy_o as_o we_o do_v those_o that_o upon_o false_a pretence_n of_o better_v our_o condition_n by_o a_o change_n do_v persuade_v we_o as_o the_o serpent_n do_v eve_n out_o of_o the_o paradise_n we_o be_v in_o because_o something_o or_o other_o which_o perhaps_o we_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v want_v to_o we_o secondl●_o it_o will_v arm_v we_o against_o the_o like_a temptation_n for_o the_o future_a with_o a_o resolution_n never_o to_o meddle_v any_o more_o with_o those_o that_o be_v give_v to_o change_v and_o last_o it_o will_v make_v we_o the_o more_o thankful_o sensible_a of_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n in_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o slavery_n we_o be_v in_o under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o many_o which_o be_v as_o we_o have_v find_v it_o to_o be_v the_o great_a of_o national_a judgement_n and_o restore_a we_o again_o to_o our_o former_a freedom_n and_o happiness_n under_o one_o lawful_a hereditary_a sovereign_a prince_n which_o be_v and_o i_o hope_v we_o shall_v find_v to_o be_v so_o the_o great_a of_o national_a blessing_n and_o this_o be_v my_o second_o conclusion_n deduce_v from_o these_o word_n in_o my_o text._n but_o by_o a_o man_n of_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n the_o state_n thereof_o shall_v be_v prolong_v where_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o by_o a_o man_n of_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n as_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v mean_v one_o single_a person_n in_o opposition_n to_o those_o many_o which_o the_o former_a clause_n of_o my_o text_n speak_v of_o so_o by_o that_o one_o single_a person_n must_v needs_o be_v mean_v such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v a_o prince_n a_o sovereign_a prince_n because_o the_o man_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v oppose_v not_o to_o many_o simple_o and_o indefinite_o but_o to_o many_o prince_n and_o indeed_o no_o private_a person_n though_o a_o man_n of_o never_o so_o much_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n be_v able_a to_o prolong_v a_o state_n because_o that_o be_v a_o work_n which_o require_v not_o only_a wisdom_n and_o prudence_n to_o conduct_v it_o but_o sovereign_a power_n and_o authority_n to_o perform_v it_o and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sometime_o in_o the_o power_n even_o of_o a_o private_a man_n to_o do_v much_o towards_o the_o recovery_n and_o preservation_n and_o consequent_o the_o prolong_n of_o a_o state_n as_o we_o read_v epaminondas_n the_o theban_a do_v when_o be_v but_o a_o private_a man_n he_o rescue_v his_o country_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o lacedaemonian_n the_o like_a do_v thrasibulus_n a_o private_a man_n also_o when_o he_o deliver_v his_o country_n of_o athens_n from_o the_o thirty_o tyrant_n and_o so_o do_v camillus_n who_o be_v not_o only_o a_o private_a but_o a_o banish_a man_n when_o he_o recover_v rome_n from_o the_o gaul_n but_o what_o need_v we_o instance_n out_o of_o foreign_a antiquity_n when_o we_o have_v a_o modern_a example_n of_o our_o own_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o nation_n be_v it_o speak_v which_o equal_v and_o exceed_v all_o i_o have_v name_v or_o can_v name_v in_o deserve_v from_o his_o prince_n and_o from_o his_o country_n by_o his_o courage_n in_o attempt_v his_o prudence_n in_o conduct_v and_o his_o felicity_n in_o effect_v that_o generous_a glorious_a and_o heroical_a design_n whereby_o he_o have_v at_o once_o redeem_v his_o country_n both_o from_o slavery_n and_o infamy_n by_o restore_v the_o king_n to_o his_o people_n and_o the_o people_n to_o their_o king_n and_o withal_o have_v purchase_v unto_o himself_o honour_n without_o envy_n greatness_n with_o safety_n and_o which_o be_v the_o best_a reward_n of_o virtue_n in_o this_o world_n a_o perpetual_a

private_a man_n will_v needs_o be_v prince_n though_o they_o think_v themselves_o man_n of_o understanding_n have_v prove_v themselves_o fool_n their_o head_n be_v lift_v up_o indeed_o but_o so_o as_o they_o little_o think_v they_o will_v be_v and_o themselves_o after_o they_o have_v blaze_v and_o bluster_v for_o a_o while_n go_v out_o like_o a_o snuff_n and_o have_v leave_v nothing_o but_o a_o stink_n behind_o they_o but_o to_o return_v to_o what_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n though_o it_o be_v true_a as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o any_o private_a man_n may_v do_v something_o at_o least_o by_o his_o prayer_n and_o some_o private_a man_n may_v do_v much_o towards_o the_o preserve_n and_o prolong_v of_o a_o state_n if_o they_o be_v man_n of_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n that_o be_v if_o they_o understand_v and_o know_v how_o to_o serve_v their_o country_n by_o serve_v of_o their_o prince_n either_o in_o peace_n by_o their_o counsel_n or_o in_o war_n by_o their_o

preserve_v and_o prolong_v the_o state_n of_o his_o country_n and_o such_o a_o prince_n say_v i_o be_v the_o great_a blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o nation_n because_o the_o state_n or_o flourish_a

of_o the_o wise_a statesman_n that_o ever_o be_v or_o will_v be_v in_o the_o world_n in_o order_n to_o the_o prolong_n of_o a_o state_n there_o must_v 1._o be_v one_o sovereign_a prince_n 2._o that_o

it_o must_v have_v one_o sovereign_a prince_n that_o be_v the_o government_n of_o it_o must_v be_v monarchical_a and_o of_o this_o there_o needs_o little_o more_o to_o be_v say_v for_o the_o proof_n
