genius_n of_o the_o nation_n than_o hazard_v his_o majesty_n honour_n and_o safety_n in_o such_o violent_a and_o harsh_a measure_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v they_o see_v they_o have_v nothing_o to_o rely_v upon_o but_o the_o king_n life_n and_o that_o be_v as_o uncertain_a as_o any_o other_o man_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o drive_v at_o all_o furious_o for_o say_v they_o if_o we_o succeed_v we_o have_v our_o aim_n the_o day_n be_v our_o own_o if_o not_o we_o know_v the_o worst_a of_o it_o we_o be_v but_o where_o we_o be_v we_o can_v as_o easy_o retire_v to_o the_o cell_n we_o creep_v from_o as_o we_o leave_v they_o but_o whether_o the_o king_n sink_v or_o swim_v be_v the_o least_o of_o our_o concern_v and_o ah_o that_o these_o wretch_n have_v fall_v alone_o without_o draw_v such_o a_o prince_n into_o such_o misfortune_n with_o they_o by_o their_o precipitate_a counsel_n let_v this_o therefore_o be_v for_o ever_o another_o instance_n of_o popish_a treachery_n and_o falsehood_n to_o their_o prince_n for_o these_o man_n always_o act_v as_o if_o they_o glory_v in_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o king_n or_o kingdom_n or_o both_o and_o as_o they_o be_v the_o false_a man_n to_o their_o prince_n so_o they_o be_v the_o foolish_a for_o never_o man_n take_v so_o improper_a mean_n to_o attain_v their_o end_n as_o they_o do_v in_o truth_n they_o leave_v nothing_o undo_v which_o any_o man_n can_v wish_v they_o to_o do_v who_o never_o so_o earnest_o wish_v a_o disappointment_n of_o all_o their_o design_n as_o a_o reverend_n divine_a and_o great_a man_n of_o our_o church_n say_v in_o his_o sermon_n on_o the_o thanksgiving-day_n they_o be_v politician_n by_o book_n and_o never_o consult_v the_o genius_n and_o humour_n of_o that_o people_n they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v think_v very_o wise_a man_n and_o great_a politician_n in_o other_o country_n but_o they_o can_v never_o in_o england_n expect_v any_o thing_n but_o the_o reputation_n of_o the_o most_o imprudent_a and_o unpolitick_a of_o man_n and_o i_o hope_v this_o great_a instance_n will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v all_o prince_n how_o unsafe_a it_o be_v for_o they_o to_o trust_v man_n of_o little_a honesty_n and_o less_o discretion_n if_o it_o be_v again_o say_v that_o the_o late_a king_n in_o all_o these_o thing_n so_o deserve_o decry_v be_v inform_v of_o the_o legality_n of_o they_o by_o his_o judge_n who_o advice_n in_o the_o like_a case_n all_o our_o king_n have_v rely_v upon_o so_o if_o he_o err_v it_o be_v their_o fault_n and_o beside_o such_o as_o do_v unlawful_a thing_n by_o the_o king_n command_n be_v liable_a to_o answer_v for_o it_o notwithstanding_o but_o not_o the_o king_n himself_o to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v very_o easy_a the_o whole_a nation_n know_v very_o well_o that_o when_o the_o judge_n at_o any_o time_n give_v just_a and_o good_a advice_n according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o the_o best_a of_o their_o knowledge_n if_o it_o thwart_v the_o design_n intend_v there_o be_v a_o quietus_n ready_a at_o hand_n for_o their_o descent_n from_o the_o bench_n and_o thus_o the_o whole_a reign_n of_o king_n james_n there_o be_v a_o perpetual_a change_n of_o the_o judge_n till_o they_o be_v so_o model_v as_o to_o secure_v the_o interest_n drive_v at_o nay_o in_o the_o very_a last_o famous_a trial_n of_o the_o seven_o bishop_n all_o know_v that_o two_o of_o the_o judge_n be_v immediate_o remove_v for_o give_v their_o opinion_n contrary_a to_o that_o interest_n so_o that_o it_o be_v extreme_o plain_a the_o king_n be_v not_o advise_v by_o his_o judge_n but_o the_o judge_n by_o he_o how_o they_o shall_v act_v at_o their_o peril_n and_o he_o will_v have_v no_o other_o than_o such_o as_o will_v serve_v his_o design_n as_o for_o such_o as_o act_v by_o his_o authority_n either_o in_o civil_a or_o military_a affair_n it_o be_v plain_a few_o or_o none_o be_v allow_v of_o but_o such_o as_o will_v serve_v the_o popish_a interest_n what_o mean_v else_o the_o change_n of_o charters_n the_o regulate_v of_o corporation_n the_o so_o frequent_a alteration_n of_o the_o governor_n

in_o vain_a it_o be_v to_o expect_v a_o redress_n of_o these_o thing_n since_o even_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o that_o reign_n when_o that_o king_n be_v so_o much_o oblige_v to_o the_o fidelity_n of_o

that_o all_o we_o have_v to_o do_v be_v to_o submit_v either_o active_o or_o passive_o that_o our_o oath_n have_v oblige_v we_o against_o all_o resistance_n of_o his_o majesty_n or_o those_o
