the_o last_o will_v make_v they_o have_v respect_n both_o to_o god_n and_o the_o king_n 1._o when_o caution_n be_v thus_o recommend_v to_o the_o judge_n it_o be_v employ_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o

these_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o take_v heed_n what_o they_o do_v notwithstanding_o they_o be_v of_o themselves_o well-minded_a and_o willing_a to_o do_v just_o because_o ignorance_n as_o forward_o as_o it_o be_v can_v hardly_o be_v more_o impudent_a than_o it_o be_v weak_a nor_o can_v folly_n be_v more_o swift_a to_o discover_v its_o presumption_n by_o its_o

which_o may_v sufficient_o appear_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o person_n with_o who_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v the_o high_a matter_n about_o which_o they_o be_v conversant_a the_o

of_o the_o multitude_n thing_n which_o no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v be_v able_a to_o cope_v withal_o except_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o extraordinary_a spirit_n mean_a soul_n be_v natural_o

legal_a and_o evangelical_n sense_n because_o it_o wear_v a_o sword_n 3._o it_o be_v imply_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v man_n of_o vigilance_n and_o activity_n industrious_a to_o discover_v the_o truth_n in_o every_o cause_n and_o willing_a to_o be_v guide_v by_o it_o when_o discover_v though_o justice_n itself_o ought_v to_o be_v blind_a yet_o the_o minister_n thereof_o ought_v to_o be_v all_o eye_n because_o the_o great_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n who_o have_v style_v they_o god_n never_o make_v they_o omniscient_a and_o though_o he_o call_v they_o by_o his_o own_o name_n to_o add_v veneration_n to_o their_o authority_n yet_o have_v he_o frequent_o make_v it_o evident_a to_o themselves_o and_o the_o world_n that_o they_o be_v but_o man_n by_o their_o fail_n it_o be_v the_o

especial_o because_o the_o life_n and_o fortune_n of_o their_o brethren_n be_v frequent_o put_v into_o their_o hand_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o without_o such_o caution_n not_o only_o to_o do_v unrighteousness_n in_o judgement_n but_o also_o to_o become_v the_o very_a cutthroat_n and_o pickpocket_n in_o the_o world_n last_o it_o be_v employ_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v endue_v with_o true_a christian_a piety_n because_o that_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o make_v they_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o command_n both_o of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n for_o his_o own_o to_o the_o command_n of_o the_o king_n for_o god_n sake_n it_o will_v make_v they_o reverence_n justice_n because_o god_n be_v the_o author_n and_o archetype_n thereof_o and_o it_o will_v incline_v they_o to_o moderate_v the_o rigour_n of_o justice_n with_o lenitive_n of_o mercy_n lest_o they_o shall_v transgress_v the_o rule_n of_o true_a christian_a charity_n you_o see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v for_o they_o to_o be_v cautious_a and_o careful_a both_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o also_o from_o the_o command_v of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n to_o which_o i_o may_v most_o just_o superadde_v the_o consideration_n of_o the_o age_n in_o which_o we_o live_v this_o call_v for_o the_o height_n of_o wisdom_n the_o great_a ability_n the_o brave_a spirit_n the_o most_o eminent_a activity_n and_o the_o best_a ground_a religion_n because_o the_o pure_a church_n which_o christ_n have_v this_o day_n upon_o earth_n and_o the_o best_a of_o monarchy_n be_v design_v to_o be_v subvert_v and_o ruin_v by_o man_n of_o the_o most_o different_a principle_n and_o interest_n the_o jesuit_n abroad_o and_o the_o fanatic_n at_o home_o be_v close_o engage_v in_o undermine_v both_o the_o former_a will_v own_v no_o allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n if_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o supremacy_n of_o the_o pope_n nor_o think_v the_o vile_a murder_n or_o treason_n sinful_a if_o they_o will_v but_o promote_v their_o hierarchy_n and_o the_o latter_a behave_v themselves_o as_o if_o they_o be_v of_o different_a interest_n both_o from_o the_o church_n and_o kingdom_n and_o it_o be_v chief_o incumbent_a upon_o they_o to_o balance_v prerogative_n with_o property_n they_o therefore_o study_v the_o king_n law_n that_o they_o may_v be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o evade_v his_o power_n and_o pretend_v the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o force_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o king_n they_o be_v ready_a upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o plead_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a whenever_o it_o may_v prove_v a_o snare_n to_o the_o government_n and_o make_v use_v of_o those_o franchise_n and_o liberty_n which_o have_v be_v give_v by_o the_o gracious_a king_n of_o this_o realm_n to_o their_o once_o loyal_a subject_n to_o deprive_v their_o successor_n of_o their_o sovereign_a authority_n they_o so_o well_o understand_v the_o

to_o restrain_v the_o spirit_n of_o prince_n as_o if_o they_o be_v with_o the_o degenerate_v roman_n to_o set_v up_o the_o tribune_n of_o the_o people_n with_o this_o only_a design_n that_o they_o

be_v this_o that_o all_o who_o be_v due_o advance_v to_o such_o eminent_a place_n of_o trust_n and_o dignity_n have_v the_o great_a reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o that_o because_o god_n be_v with_o they_o in_o the_o judgement_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o omnipresence_n be_v a_o attribute_n inseparable_a from_o the_o divine_a nature_n they_o that_o climb_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o they_o that_o dig_v down_o into_o hell_n they_o that_o take_v the_o wing_n of_o the_o morning_n and_o dwell_v in_o the_o uttermost_a
