let_v potent_a prince_n assume_v what_o title_n they_o please_v there_o be_v none_o can_v boast_v of_o more_o liberty_n than_o the_o englishman_n enjoy_v there_o be_v no_o monarch_n more_o absolute_a and_o real_o great_a than_o a_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n enthrone_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o affection_n of_o his_o people_n have_v thus_o brief_o mention_v some_o of_o the_o more_o manifest_a and_o plain_a advantage_n of_o parliament_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n show_v you_o what_o it_o be_v that_o too_o frequent_o hinder_v the_o good_a effect_n they_o may_v otherwise_o have_v and_o the_o general_a occasion_n of_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a notion_n that_o have_v be_v almost_o universal_o spread_v and_o will_v very_o hardly_o be_v root_v out_o of_o many_o man_n mind_n that_o the_o court_n and_o the_o country_n the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n be_v two_o quite_o different_a interest_n this_o have_v be_v sly_o infinuate_v by_o some_o and_o easy_o believe_v by_o other_o and_o eager_o foment_v by_o those_o who_o profit_n or_o ambitition_n make_v they_o desirous_a of_o a_o change_n such_o be_v always_o very_o forward_o to_o discharge_v their_o private_a discontent_n upon_o the_o government_n and_o hope_v to_o advance_v themselves_o and_o repair_v their_o shatter_a estate_n by_o dissetle_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o peace_n but_o the_o pretence_n on_o which_o these_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o bear_v up_o themselves_o be_v manifest_o vain_a and_o support_v by_o nothing_o but_o a_o most_o palpable_a mistake_n the_o true_a interest_n of_o a_o king_n and_o his_o people_n be_v still_o the_o same_o for_o it_o be_v certain_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o people_n that_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o administer_v justice_n and_o preserve_v the_o peace_n at_o home_n and_o likewise_o to_o defend_v they_o from_o their_o enemy_n abroad_o and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o king_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v thrive_v under_o his_o government_n be_v free_a from_o discontent_n and_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o contribute_v liberal_o to_o the_o public_a necessity_n what_o king_n can_v reign_v happy_o where_o the_o people_n be_v extreme_o poor_a and_o indigent_a in_o danger_n of_o be_v ruin_v by_o a_o six_o month_n tax_n and_o unable_a to_o give_v what_o the_o exigency_n of_o state_n may_v require_v and_o what_o people_n can_v esteem_v themselves_o safe_a where_o the_o exchequer_n be_v so_o low_a and_o the_o king_n so_o straighten_a that_o he_o can_v not_o curb_v the_o insolence_n of_o unquiet_a and_o seditious_a spirit_n among_o his_o own_o subject_n nor_o repulse_n the_o force_n and_o assault_n of_o a_o foreign_a power_n the_o thing_n be_v so_o exceed_v plain_a and_o abvious_a that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o may_v present_o perceive_v how_o these_o line_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o most_o opposite_a part_n of_o the_o circumference_n do_v meet_v at_o last_o and_o must_v always_o centre_n in_o the_o same_o point_n but_o this_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v some_o that_o will_v fain_o persuade_v we_o that_o the_o distance_n betwixt_o they_o be_v so_o very_o great_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v ever_o be_v unite_v and_o when_o they_o have_v practise_v upon_o the_o credulous_a multitude_n and_o make_v they_o believe_v it_o their_o head_n be_v easy_o fill_v with_o a_o thousand_o jealousy_n and_o wonderful_a chimera_n they_o be_v like_o melancholy_a muse_v man_n that_o draw_v picture_n in_o the_o cloud_n that_o can_v discover_v fiery_a dragon_n and_o most_o dreadful_a apparition_n in_o the_o clear_a sky_n they_o be_v mighty_o trouble_v not_o with_o any_o thing_n they_o see_v or_o feel_v but_o with_o very_a strange_a imaginary_a fear_n create_v only_o by_o their_o own_o fancy_n but_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o disabuse_v those_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o that_o do_v not_o yet_o see_v through_o the_o design_n and_o to_o this_o end_n i_o shall_v lay_v before_o you_o the_o most_o common_a pretence_n upon_o which_o these_o jealousy_n have_v be_v advance_v they_o be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o you_o have_v often_o hear_v and_o it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v be_v very_o much_o concern_v about_o they_o and_o there_o be_v reason_n enough_o for_o it_o if_o they_o have_v be_v true_a we_o have_v be_v tell_v therefore_o of_o grievance_n of_o the_o subject_a that_o our_o liberty_n and_o property_n be_v like_a to_o be_v invade_v and_o that_o we_o be_v in_o imminent_a danger_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o popery_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n with_o which_o the_o whole_a nation_n be_v alarm_v and_o the_o cry_n be_v sometime_o so_o strong_a and_o almost_o universal_a that_o it_o may_v have_v something_o discompose_v a_o very_a sober_a and_o steddy-minded_n man_n but_o when_o the_o fright_n be_v a_o little_a over_o and_o he_o have_v time_n to_o recollect_v himself_o he_o will_v quick_o find_v that_o he_o have_v no_o just_a ground_n to_o be_v much_o disturb_v with_o these_o terrible_a apprehension_n and_o that_o they_o be_v but_o like_o a_o fit_a of_o the_o nightmare_n in_o which_o the_o party_n affect_v dream_n he_o be_v so_o horrible_o oppress_v with_o some_o mighty_a weight_n lie_v on_o he_o that_o he_o can_v scarce_o fetch_v his_o breath_n when_o all_o the_o pressure_n be_v occasion_v only_o by_o feculent_a humour_n in_o his_o own_o body_n and_o gross_a blood_n too_o much_o thicken_v with_o melancholy_a but_o whatever_o they_o be_v or_o from_o what_o cause_n soever_o they_o may_v arise_v i_o shall_v brief_o examine_v the_o several_a pretence_n that_o have_v be_v wont_a to_o be_v make_v the_o most_o common_a and_o general_a be_v that_o of_o grievance_n a_o word_n of_o a_o loose_a and_o uncertain_a signification_n and_o in_o vulgar_a acception_n imply_v any_o thing_n that_o any_o man_n be_v displease_v at_o and_o can_v declaim_v against_o with_o some_o show_n of_o a_o popular_a zeal_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o subject_a and_o the_o invective_n be_v always_o the_o easy_a part_n of_o eloquence_n at_o least_o it_o make_v the_o deep_a impression_n on_o the_o mind_n of_o those_o that_o be_v ready_o dispose_v to_o entertain_v a_o ill_a opinion_n of_o their_o governor_n but_o you_o know_v what_o sort_n of_o man_n they_o be_v who_o if_o a_o waggish_a boy_n do_v but_o tie_v a_o straw_n about_o their_o finger_n imagine_v present_o they_o be_v in_o chain_n and_o most_o heavy_o load_v with_o bolt_n and_o iron_n complaint_n have_v run_v high_a and_o the_o talk_n have_v be_v loud_o but_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o conceive_v what_o grievance_n we_o have_v suffer_v since_o the_o happy_a restitution_n of_o the_o royal_a line_n unless_o it_o be_v that_o our_o trade_n have_v be_v encourage_v our_o ship_n and_o navigation_n exceed_o increase_v and_o that_o we_o have_v live_v in_o plenty_n and_o ease_n and_o enjoy_v our_o own_o quiet_o and_o be_v almost_o miraculous_o preserve_v in_o peace_n by_o the_o great_a wisdom_n and_o continual_a care_n of_o a_o most_o excellent_a prince_n when_o most_o of_o our_o neighbour_n be_v harass_v and_o miserable_o waste_v with_o fire_n and_o sword_n and_o feel_v the_o extremity_n of_o a_o most_o bloody_a and_o cruel_a war._n i_o can_v tell_v of_o any_o other_o grievance_n but_o these_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o may_v possible_o be_v some_o inconvenience_n not_o former_o foresee_v which_o may_v be_v provide_v against_o by_o future_a acts._n but_o if_o any_o such_o shall_v be_v real_o find_v and_o bill_n prepare_v for_o the_o redress_n of_o they_o no_o man_n can_v have_v any_o reason_n to_o doubt_v but_o that_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o reject_v they_o that_o he_o will_v be_v glad_a of_o that_o and_o all_o other_o opportunity_n of_o express_v the_o passion_n he_o have_v for_o the_o ease_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o people_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n if_o we_o shall_v murmur_v and_o be_v discontent_v still_o and_o complain_v of_o grievance_n when_o we_o feel_v none_o but_o what_o every_o man_n be_v private_a misfortune_n or_o negligence_n or_o prodigality_n have_v bring_v upon_o he_o instead_o of_o the_o most_o happy_a as_o we_o be_v if_o we_o can_v but_o be_v make_v sensible_a of_o it_o we_o may_v be_v just_o esteem_v the_o most_o foolish_a repine_a querulous_a ungrateful_a people_n in_o the_o world_n another_o pretence_n have_v be_v that_o our_o liberty_n and_o property_n be_v like_a to_o be_v invade_v liberty_n and_o property_n be_v word_n that_o chime_v well_o enough_o and_o have_v be_v a_o great_a while_n yoke_v together_o and_o man_n have_v be_v teach_v to_o tune_v they_o over_o in_o a_o most_o lamentable_a note_n as_o if_o all_o they_o have_v be_v ready_a to_o be_v seize_v on_o and_o they_o hurry_v to_o goal_n and_o make_v absolute_a slave_n and_o beggar_n
