forbear_v mention_v it_o there_o be_v not_o a_o ill_a thing_n do_v in_o king_n james_n reign_n that_o i_o do_v not_o call_v so_o then_o and_o all_o that_o know_v i_o know_v that_o i_o have_v take_v it_o as_o my_o province_n to_o represent_v truth_n be_v they_o never_o so_o bold_a or_o bitter_a whilst_o they_o be_v for_o instruction_n i_o i_o be_o no_o advocate_n for_o any_o man_n fault_n nor_o for_o any_o fault_n though_o i_o will_v be_v charitable_a and_o good-natured_a forgive_a and_o forget_v towards_o all_o man_n person_n methinks_v the_o state_n of_o thing_n require_v this_o measure_n i_o scarce_o believe_v there_o ever_o be_v a_o period_n of_o time_n wherein_o a_o universal_a amnesty_n be_v so_o requisite_a a_o forgetfulness_n as_o well_o as_o forgiveness_n of_o all_o past_a crime_n methinks_v all_o side_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o this_o temper_n if_o the_o minister_n of_o king_n james_n exceed_v in_o their_o management_n of_o our_o affair_n as_o doubtless_o they_o do_v we_o have_v doubtless_o exceed_v too_o in_o our_o revenge_n upon_o the_o king_n person_n and_o beside_o those_o that_o have_v fall_v in_o with_o the_o usurpation_n have_v not_o proceed_v against_o any_o one_o man_n that_o have_v be_v in_o their_o hand_n for_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v amiss_o in_o the_o two_o late_a reign_n and_o therefore_o methinks_v it_o be_v very_o hard_a if_o we_o can_v forgive_v those_o that_o have_v undergo_v banishment_n which_o in_o all_o country_n have_v be_v reckon_v some_o sort_n of_o punishment_n or_o such_o as_o have_v hazard_v prison_n or_o the_o gallow_n every_o day_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o forgive_v all_o those_o that_o serve_v he_o among_o we_o or_o that_o be_v with_o the_o king_n though_o they_o may_v have_v have_v fault_n when_o we_o desire_v or_o i_o be_o sure_a aught_o to_o desire_v that_o the_o whole_a land_n shall_v be_v forgive_v all_o party_n and_o almost_o all_o man_n have_v some_o way_n or_o other_o be_v to_o blame_v and_o therefore_o there_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o little_a too_o much_o passion_n and_o self-interest_n in_o keep_v up_o old_a grudge_n i_o avoid_v say_v there_o be_v any_o infatuation_n in_o keep_v they_o up_o though_o i_o can_v think_v that_o it_o be_v the_o likely_a way_n to_o prepare_v the_o king_n to_o close_v with_o wise_a council_n to_o revive_v or_o continue_v our_o pique_n for_o the_o king_n can_v scarce_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v without_o some_o kindness_n for_o those_o who_o have_v either_o follow_v his_o fortune_n or_o venture_v their_o neck_n for_o he_o and_o con_v quent_o it_o be_v not_o perhaps_o advisable_v to_o make_v those_o that_o transact_v in_o his_o affair_n though_o they_o have_v be_v peccant_a believe_v they_o can_v have_v no_o quarter_n no_o share_n in_o he_o unless_o he_o return_v with_o a_o high_a hand_n they_o will_v have_v some_o opportunity_n to_o put_v ill_a construction_n upon_o good_a advice_n i_o have_v read_v of_o but_o few_o of_o those_o heroic_a spirit_n in_o any_o age_n who_o have_v so_o divest_v themselves_o of_o all_o regard_n for_o their_o own_o person_n and_o posterity_n as_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o become_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o their_o country_n i_o think_v this_o age_n afford_v few_o instance_n of_o those_o great_a mind_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o the_o likely_a way_n to_o m●ke_v man_n instrumental_a towards_o the_o good_a of_o their_o country_n to_o show_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v find_v their_o own_o account_n in_o be_v so_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v express_v myself_o in_o as_o modest_a and_o inoffensive_a word_n as_o any_o in_o which_o i_o can_v conceive_v my_o thought_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o misunderstand_a as_o if_o i_o will_v justify_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v by_o any_o body_n do_v amiss_o for_o i_o will_v not_o justify_v a_o false_a step_n even_o in_o the_o king_n but_o i_o will_v have_v we_o lay_v aside_o all_o the_o byasses_n of_o faction_n and_o friendship_n and_o much_o more_o all_o enmity_n that_o we_o may_v unanimous_o offer_v to_o the_o king_n right_a notion_n and_o thereby_o restore_v he_o to_o his_o hereditary_a kingdom_n after_o all_o i_o will_v not_o have_v less_o than_o such_o a_o repentance_n as_o give_v evidence_n of_o amendment_n entitle_v to_o absolution_n but_o i_o will_v leave_v room_n and_o reward_n for_o such_o repentance_n i_o fear_v this_o moderation_n and_o forgive_a of_o enemy_n will_v be_v think_v a_o hard_a lesson_n but_o i_o bless_v god_n i_o have_v practise_v it_o and_o i_o think_v it_o not_o only_o the_o noble_a precept_n in_o christian_a morality_n but_o a_o admirable_a rule_n in_o civil_a prudence_n especial_o in_o our_o case_n for_o it_o be_v as_o difficult_a for_o a_o party_n that_o be_v subdivide_v within_o itself_o to_o pull_v down_o a_o usurpation_n as_o it_o can_v be_v for_o a_o divide_a kingdom_n to_o stand_v but_o i_o be_o sensible_a i_o have_v make_v too_o long_o a_o digression_n and_o therefore_o must_v omit_v many_o other_o particular_n upon_o which_o i_o will_v explain_v myself_o and_o the_o sense_n of_o many_o other_o jacobite_n and_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o i_o be_o sorry_a that_o any_o jacobite_n say_v any_o thing_n that_o offend_v well-meaning_a man_n but_o i_o wish_v for_o their_o own_o sake_n my_o countryman_n will_v not_o take_v a_o standard_n either_o of_o the_o king_n inclination_n or_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o friend_n from_o their_o indiscreet_a tattle_n there_o be_v in_o his_o interest_n those_o that_o know_v that_o to_o talk_v too_o lofty_o and_o dogmatical_o to_o dispute_v as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o school_n concern_v prerogative_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o monarchy_n to_o stand_v nice_o upon_o punctilio_n to_o consult_v aristotle_n and_o xenophon_n king_n be_v as_o unlikely_a a_o way_n to_o come_v to_o a_o mutual_a accommodation_n as_o to_o peruse_v and_o and_o or_o be_o of_o plato_n commonwealth_n sir_n thomas_n more_o be_v utop_v a_o harrington_n oceana_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v man_n of_o his_o sid_n that_o think_v as_o the_o great_a lawgiver_n solon_n do_v that_o a_o government_n must_v be_v frame_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o govern_v and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o best_a subject_n as_o well_o as_o politician_n that_o adapt_n all_o his_o notion_n to_o our_o temper_n that_o consider_v man_n as_o well_o as_o peruse_v book_n when_o he_o be_v to_o draw_v a_o scheme_n and_o i_o believe_v as_o you_o say_v that_o the_o high_a flight_n of_o some_o jacobite_n hinder_v many_o honest_a man_n from_o come_v into_o his_o interest_n and_o far_o that_o they_o sometime_o mislead_v the_o king_n nevertheless_o there_o be_v in_o his_o interest_n man_n that_o i_o assure_v you_o be_v not_o fright_v at_o word_n nor_o startle_v at_o nickname_n that_o know_v the_o king_n of_o england_n make_v the_o great_a figure_n in_o europe_n when_o he_o be_v best_o with_o his_o people_n and_o that_o be_v when_o he_o govern_v by_o the_o measure_n of_o commonweal_n these_o man_n know_v a_o good_a commonwealths-man_n be_v not_o a_o character_n of_o reproach_n in_o our_o legislation_n and_o

forge_v a_o separate_a interest_n between_o the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o his_o people_n and_o till_o they_o begin_v to_o call_v a_o mix_v monarchy_n a_o errant_a bull_n and_o will_v reform_v

prove_v they_o far_o that_o law_n and_o lawful_a prerogative_n may_v be_v so_o abuse_v that_o it_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o take_v away_o the_o one_o and_o to_o desire_v that_o the_o other_o may_v
