in_o a_o kind_n of_o delirium_fw-la or_o dotage_n so_o a_o new_a parliament_n will_v represent_v a_o people_n restore_v to_o their_o wit_n cure_v of_o the_o evil_a and_o steady_o pursue_v the_o great_a interest_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n wherefore_o our_o court_n have_v get_v a_o new_a maxim_n never_o hear_v of_o in_o the_o world_n before_o and_o which_o be_v their_o grand_a arcanum_n of_o state_n and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o king_n and_o this_o parliament_n must_v never_o part_v for_o if_o they_o do_v the_o government_n be_v dissolve_v a_o maxim_n they_o will_v keep_v to_o and_o be_v first_o beat_v into_o their_o head_n by_o clarendon_n and_o monk_n but_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o that_o maxim_n be_v because_o they_o never_o dare_v call_v a_o parliament_n to_o represent_v the_o present_a state_n of_o england_n have_v enough_o to_o do_v with_o the_o present_a who_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o daily_a fomentation_n of_o court_n e●●edients_n will_v even_o themselves_o revert_v back_o to_o the_o english_a interest_n in_o former_a time_n we_o have_v two_o grand_a maxim_n in_o our_o government_n one_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o keep_v the_o balance_n of_o christendom_n equal_a and_o steady_a england_n only_o have_v the_o natural_a advantage_n to_o do_v that_o and_o this_o grow_v up_o with_o we_o from_o the_o norman_a conquest_n for_o above_o six_o hundred_o year_n since_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o make_v ourselves_o the_o head_n and_o protection_n of_o the_o protestant_a interest_n a_o maxim_n that_o we_o take_v from_o the_o reformation_n and_o which_o we_o show_v the_o world_n in_o queen_n elizabeth_n time_n how_o we_o have_v keep_v to_o these_o two_o maxim_n of_o enter_v into_o a_o league_n to_o subvert_v and_o destroy_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o to_o break_v the_o bond_n and_o remove_v the_o landmark_n of_o state_n and_o kingdom_n will_v sufficient_o declare_v to_o you_o and_o now_o we_o have_v a_o maxim_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a can_v last_v long_o than_o the_o king_n live_v for_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o parliament_n one_o thing_n you_o may_v observe_v by_o the_o way_n that_o vigorous_a time_n bring_v forth_o strong_a maxim_n but_o the_o principal_a use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v be_v this_o if_o according_a to_o our_o maxim_n that_o the_o king_n and_o this_o parliament_n must_v never_o part_v and_o they_o must_v die_v together_o then_o this_o government_n seem_v to_o be_v calculate_v only_o for_o the_o king_n life_n as_o the_o government_n of_o the_o protector_n cromwell_n be_v for_o his_o and_o must_v a_o little_a time_n after_o suffer_v a_o dissolution_n and_o indeed_o in_o such_o a_o mix_a government_n as_o we_o be_v where_o one_o of_o the_o extreme_n come_v so_o far_o to_o overbalance_n the_o other_o i_o can_v see_v but_o the_o government_n must_v die_v as_o it_o be_v in_o natural_a body_n when_o one_o humour_n be_v over_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o to_o great_a disproportion_n in_o every_o sound_n and_o healthful_a government_n there_o be_v a_o steadiness_n of_o proceed_v by_o good_a mean_n to_o good_a end_n which_o be_v call_v conduct_n but_o in_o a_o sickly_a state_n as_o many_o emergency_n arise_v so_o new_a medicine_n and_o expedient_n must_v be_v apply_v and_o such_o a_o government_n may_v be_v call_v a_o government_n of_o expedient_n and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v we_o and_o the_o great_a art_n and_o cunning_a in_o this_o session_n of_o parliament_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o such_o a_o issue_n as_o be_v expect_v be_v but_o a_o expedient_a and_o expedient_n never_o hold_v they_o only_o serve_v a_o turn_n cunning_a and_o trick_n in_o statesman_n argue_v they_o to_o be_v mountebank_n in_o the_o politic_n and_o weak_a government_n must_v always_o have_v a_o care_n of_o evil_a accident_n and_o occasion_n when_o there_o be_v cause_n of_o their_o dissolution_n the_o ravishment_n of_o lucretia_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o introduce_v a_o commonwealth_n in_o rome_n it_o be_v only_o the_o occasion_n if_o any_o notable_a occasion_n fall_v out_o in_o england_n as_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n insurrection_n or_o arm_v of_o papist_n invasion_n by_o the_o french_a or_o such_o like_a that_o shall_v give_v the_o people_n opportunity_n to_o arm_n the_o government_n be_v go_v now_o if_o you_o shall_v ask_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o weakness_n of_o the_o government_n of_o england_n i_o answer_v principal_o two_o 1._o the_o change_n of_o the_o balance_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o before_o 2._o a_o succession_n of_o three_o weak_a prince_n together_o where_o two_o sufficient_a prince_n succeed_v together_o they_o do_v great_a thing_n but_o where_o two_o or_o three_o weak_a prince_n succeed_v one_o another_o the_o government_n can_v hardly_o stand_v and_o indeed_o if_o a_o weak_a prince_n immediate_o succeed_v a_o wise_a he_o may_v do_v well_o enough_o for_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o wise_a prince_n government_n run_v through_o the_o vein_n of_o that_o of_o the_o foolish_a and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a while_n before_o the_o defect_n of_o his_o government_n come_v to_o discover_v themselves_o and_o i_o say_v that_o we_o never_o before_o for_o above_o six_o hundred_o year_n have_v a_o succession_n of_o three_o either_o sufficient_a or_o weak_a prince_n together_o and_o therefore_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n to_o affirm_v that_o if_o the_o government_n of_o the_o parliament_n have_v not_o be_v interpose_v in_o the_o middle_n as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o government_n must_v have_v sink_v ere_o now_o for_o save_v what_o they_o do_v we_o have_v not_o take_v one_o true_a stop_n nor_o strike_v one_o true_a stroke_n since_o queen_n elizabeth_n it_o be_v a_o great_a truth_n no_o doubt_n that_o foolish_a prince_n ever_o have_v and_o ever_o will_v have_v foolish_a councillor_n for_o matchiavil_v conclude_v well_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o prince_n never_o take_v beginning_n from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o his_o council_n but_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o council_n always_o from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o prince_n but_o if_o you_o shall_v ask_v i_o now_o whether_o the_o k._n of_o england_n will_v effectual_o assist_v you_o since_o the_o parliament_n have_v not_o only_o address_v he_o so_o to_o do_v but_o have_v promise_v he_o sufficient_a supply_v for_o the_o do_v thereof_o i_o answer_v no_o the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v not_o to_o be_v render_v by_o way_n of_o ratiocination_n there_o be_v little_a of_o reason_n in_o any_o thing_n we_o either_o do_v or_o say_v 1._o the_o k._n will_v not_o the_o will_n be_v the_o mistress_n of_o the_o love_n and_o a_o man_n be_v either_o good_a or_o bad_a as_o his_o will_n be_v there_o be_v a_o antipathy_n between_o the_o genius_n of_o our_o court_n and_o the_o genius_n of_o holland_n 2._o we_o be_v whole_o addict_v to_o the_o french_a humour_n and_o interest_n we_o can_v forbear_v express_v our_o joy_n upon_o any_o victory_n of_o they_o 3._o the_o d._n of_o york_n who_o do_v and_o every_o day_n will_v weigh_v more_o and_o more_o and_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o all_o those_o good_a intention_n the_o k._n may_v otherwise_o have_v be_v a_o papist_n and_o so_o far_o from_o affect_v you_o that_o he_o have_v little_a esteem_n for_o his_o own_o countryman_n in_o his_o nature_n affect_v none_o but_o french_a and_o irish_a with_o who_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v a_o sympathy_n of_o genius_n and_o how_o strange_o strong_a will_n and_o misplace_a affection_n may_v transporr_v man_n of_o weak_a judgement_n be_v easy_a for_o you_o to_o apprehend_v 4._o our_o minister_n of_o state_n be_v against_o you_o now_o to_o end_v this_o long_a letter_n what_o conclusion_n shall_v we_o draw_v from_o all_o these_o premise_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o your_o prudence_n will_v instruct_v you_o to_o make_v a_o far_o better_a than_o any_o i_o can_v offer_v however_o i_o will_v say_v something_o if_o it_o be_v but_o to_o occasion_n you_o to_o think_v the_o parliament_n and_o people_n of_o england_n have_v a_o mighty_a affection_n to_o your_o state_n these_o be_v the_o shape_n of_o our_o court_n and_o our_o people_n in_o the_o best_a manner_n i_o can_v present_v they_o to_o you_o and_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o your_o state_n can_v never_o in_o time_n to_o come_v be_v better_o secure_v against_o shake_v than_o by_o the_o friendship_n of_o england_n the_o parliament_n will_v send_v over_o a_o army_n sufficient_a to_o engage_v the_o french_a and_o pay_v they_o to_o as_o i_o have_v ground_n to_o think_v wherefore_o in_o my_o poor_a opinion_n the_o natural_a result_n may_v be_v that_o the_o state_n shall_v by_o a_o effectual_a declaration_n remonstrate_v to_o the_o world_n the_o grow_a greatness_n of_o france_n and_o all_o the_o mischievous_a consequence_n it_o draw_v after_o it_o and_o to_o call_v upon_o england_n as_o the_o head_n of_o all_o protestant_a state_n for_o their_o assistance_n to_o which_o the_o late_a address_n and_o the_o measure_v the_o court_n shall_v take_v thereupon_o will_v natural_o tend_v only_o the_o time_n of_o such_o declaration_n can_v well_o be_v determine_v and_o for_o this_o the_o state_n have_v a_o precedent_n yet_o fresh_a in_o memory_n when_o they_o public_o offer_v to_o the_o state_n their_o difference_n with_o the_o court_n of_o england_n which_o give_v the_o parliament_n occasion_n to_o recognize_v the_o matter_n and_o what_o a_o admirable_a and_o speedy_a effect_n that_o produce_v can_v yet_o be_v forget_v finis_fw-la
