be_v usual_a in_o this_o kind_n to_o compare_v politic_a body_n with_o the_o natural_a the_o natural_a body_n be_v endanger_v divers_a wait_n either_o by_o outward_a violence_n which_o may_v be_v

be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o apply_v a_o apt_a cure_n to_o such_o disease_n the_o counsel_n be_v of_o this_o same_o nature_n for_o the_o mischief_n that_o come_v by_o such_o counsel_n corrupt_v the_o vital_a part_n and_o overthrow_v the_o administration_n of_o public_a government_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v such_o ill_a counsel_n about_o the_o king_n most_o excellent_a majesty_n most_o palpable_o appear_v when_o as_o the_o main_a course_n of_o government_n have_v be_v so_o employ_v as_o popery_n thereby_o have_v be_v rather_o maintain_v then_o exclude_v the_o law_n subvert_v and_o no_o

prerogative_n these_o be_v misery_n sufficient_a but_o the_o ill_a counsel_n of_o these_o time_n be_v to_o alter_v religion_n and_o law_n 4._o that_o these_o ill_a counsel_n have_v proceed_v from_o a_o spirit_n and_o inclination_n to_o popery_n and_o have_v have_v a_o dependency_n on_o popery_n the_o religion_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v a_o religion_n incomputable_a to_o any_o other_o religion_n
