god_n wrought_v for_o we_o this_o year_n to_o talk_v of_o plot_n and_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o government_n may_v be_v rather_o to_o tell_v some_o people_n news_n than_o that_o which_o they_o do_v believe_v because_o we_o have_v already_o hear_v of_o many_o discovery_n of_o plot_n but_o none_o that_o have_v be_v prosecute_v and_o for_o that_o reason_n man_n may_v be_v incline_v to_o think_v they_o be_v rather_o fictitious_a than_o real_a plot_n against_o the_o government_n plot_n sometime_o be_v not_o prosecute_v either_o because_o of_o the_o great_a indulgence_n of_o the_o government_n be_v desirous_a to_o gain_v people_n rather_o by_o mercy_n than_o by_o be_v too_o extreme_a to_o mark_v what_o be_v do_v amiss_o or_o it_o may_v be_v because_o the_o government_n have_v a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a tenderness_n for_o that_o sort_n of_o people_n or_o it_o may_v be_v because_o some_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o state_n be_v concern_v in_o they_o but_o whether_o for_o any_o of_o these_o reason_n or_o other_o it_o be_v that_o we_o hear_v of_o no_o great_a prosecution_n of_o those_o discovery_n that_o have_v be_v make_v i_o will_v not_o pretend_v to_o determine_v time_n will_v best_o explain_v this_o and_o other_o mystery_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n yet_o this_o i_o will_v adventure_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o safe_a a_o rule_n to_o measure_v plot_n by_o whether_o they_o be_v true_a or_o false_a by_o the_o remissness_n or_o forwardness_n of_o the_o government_n in_o prosecute_n of_o they_o as_o to_o consider_v how_o far_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o person_n accuse_v to_o carry_v on_o such_o a_o design_n and_o herein_o every_o man_n of_o a_o reasonable_a understanding_n be_v as_o capable_a of_o give_v a_o judgement_n as_o the_o minister_n of_o state_n i_o will_v not_o encourage_v any_o man_n to_o be_v over-credulous_a in_o believe_v of_o plot_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o conspiracy_n that_o carry_v their_o own_o conviction_n along_o with_o they_o as_o it_o will_v always_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o papist_n to_o bring_v in_o popery_n and_o of_o the_o non_fw-fr juror_n and_o those_o who_o take_v the_o oath_n in_o a_o double_a sense_n to_o bring_v in_o king_n james_n nor_o will_v i_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o push_v on_o a_o prosecution_n with_o too_o much_o violence_n and_o yet_o to_o be_v too_o remiss_a be_v a_o error_n of_o the_o other_o extreme_a and_o seem_v to_o intimate_v that_o either_o the_o government_n be_v afraid_a of_o they_o and_o dare_v not_o call_v they_o to_o account_v or_o else_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o oblige_v that_o sort_n of_o people_n all_o it_o can_v and_o when_o ever_o either_o of_o those_o case_n fall_v out_o it_o be_v soon_o or_o late_a mischievous_a if_o not_o fatal_a to_o the_o government_n i_o suppose_v you_o have_v hear_v that_o king_n james_n intend_v to_o land_n here_o the_o last_o spring_n with_o a_o french_a force_n though_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v already_o forget_v by_o some_o yet_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o many_o people_n believe_v it_o because_o of_o the_o notoriety_n of_o the_o thing_n for_o they_o that_o doubt_v of_o it_o may_v as_o well_o question_v whether_o there_o be_v a_o gunpowder_n plot_n for_o it_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o a_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n can_v be_v which_o have_v not_o actual_o take_v

praise_n and_o glory_n of_o it_o though_o the_o nation_n have_v not_o yet_o make_v so_o public_a a_o acknowledgement_n of_o it_o as_o it_o usual_o do_v upon_o less_o occasion_n than_o that_o be_v the_o defeat_n of_o that_o design_n be_v a_o mercy_n never_o to_o be_v forget_v for_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o know_v of_o any_o design_n that_o be_v ever_o form_v against_o this_o nation_n that_o can_v
