some_o remark_n upon_o government_n and_o particular_o upon_o the_o establishment_n of_o the_o english_a monarchy_n relate_v to_o this_o present_a juncture_n in_o two_o letter_n write_v by_o and_o to_o a_o member_n of_o the_o great_a convention_n hold_v at_o westminster_n the_o 22d_o of_o january_n 1688_o 1688_o 9_o sir_n you_o have_v be_v high_o oblige_v in_o the_o frequent_a account_n you_o send_v i_o of_o affair_n in_o this_o great_a and_o extraordinary_a revolution_n i_o be_v once_o very_o diffident_a and_o can_v scarce_o conceive_v that_o the_o state_n of_o holland_n or_o prince_n of_o orange_n can_v have_v attempt_v so_o expensive_a and_o so_o hazardous_a a_o undertake_n out_o of_o pure_a generosity_n mere_o for_o our_o sake_n and_o for_o the_o re-establishment_n of_o our_o law_n and_o religion_n which_o do_v both_o equal_o labour_n under_o the_o pressure_n of_o a_o ill_a administration_n and_o seem_v to_o draw_v towards_o their_o last_o period_n i_o know_v the_o state_n have_v the_o character_n of_o prefer_v their_o own_o before_o any_o other_o interest_n whatsoever_o and_o the_o prince_n have_v the_o reputation_n of_o set_v a_o duo_fw-la value_n upon_o that_o which_o create_v and_o proportion_v the_o value_n of_o all_o thing_n else_o the_o enterprise_n i_o look_v upon_o as_o very_o expensive_a in_o its_o method_n and_o uncertain_a in_o its_o accomplishment_n which_o make_v i_o prove_v to_o believe_v that_o something_o more_o lie_v couch_v in_o this_o vast_a undertake_n than_o be_v express_v in_o the_o prince_n declaration_n but_o since_o his_o arrival_n and_o come_n to_o london_n i_o perceive_v he_o have_v upon_o all_o occasion_n carry_v himself_o with_o that_o wonderful_a modesty_n with_o such_o a_o unparalleled_a care_n and_o tenderness_n of_o our_o law_n liberty_n and_o religion_n and_o adhere_v so_o resolute_o to_o every_o particular_a in_o his_o declaration_n that_o i_o can_v but_o esteem_v these_o to_o be_v his_o noble_a trophy_n and_o that_o which_o crown_v those_o success_n which_o have_v crown_v his_o generous_a and_o pious_a undertake_n his_o persist_v to_o refer_v all_o to_o the_o impartial_a decision_n of_o a_o free_a parliament_n to_o do_v and_o establish_v such_o matter_n either_o in_o his_o their_o own_o or_o the_o king_n behalf_n as_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a even_o then_o when_o honour_n and_o power_n spread_v their_o persuasive_n before_o he_o to_o do_v otherwise_o be_v so_o great_a a_o thing_n that_o it_o exceed_v all_o his_o other_o glory_n and_o strike_v the_o beholder_n with_o nothing_o less_o than_o amazement_n i_o do_v more_o rejoice_v than_o wonder_n at_o the_o unanimous_a concurrence_n which_o have_v hitherto_o be_v maintain_v between_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o assemble_v in_o council_n and_o indeed_o in_o the_o wish_n &_o desire_n of_o all_o the_o people_n in_o general_n it_o be_v what_o this_o juncture_n do_v high_o require_v and_o what_o the_o prince_n conduct_n do_v oblige_v we_o be_v very_o busy_a here_o in_o the_o country_n in_o elect_v member_n for_o the_o great_a convention_n which_o be_v to_o sit_v in_o january_n and_o i_o think_v the_o lot_n will_v fall_v on_o i_o to_o serve_v for_o my_o neighbour_a borough_n you_o know_v i_o be_v never_o fond_a of_o business_n or_o trouble_n and_o true_o age_n seem_v now_o to_o have_v sign_v my_o writ_n of_o ease_n i_o also_o always_o cherish_v some_o cynical_a notion_n which_o make_v i_o very_o much_o slight_a and_o disregard_n the_o honour_n and_o flatulency_n of_o a_o giddy_a world_n but_o the_o thought_n of_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a planter_n of_o a_o government_n which_o shall_v last_v for_o age_n and_o perhaps_o till_o time_n have_v run_v out_o its_o last_o minute_n be_v no_o ordinary_a thing_n this_o think_v alone_o have_v envigorate_v my_o age_n and_o baffle_v my_o philosophy_n so_o that_o you_o may_v expect_v to_o see_v i_o in_o london_n about_o the_o 22d_o of_o january_n next_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n if_o you_o will_v favour_v i_o with_o your_o thought_n and_o opinion_n of_o affair_n and_o what_o understanding_n man_n do_v think_v will_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o issue_n and_o consequence_n of_o this_o great_a revolution_n you_o will_v very_o considerable_o add_v to_o the_o many_o kindness_n confer_v upon_o sir_n your_o assure_a friend_n and_o

service_n have_v prove_v upon_o any_o account_n acceptable_a to_o you_o i_o never_o think_v myself_o qualify_v to_o pry_v into_o the_o recess_n of_o government_n or_o the_o privacy_n of_o a_o king_n what_o i_o acquaint_v you_o with_o be_v little_o more_o than_o what_o be_v public_o discourse_v of_o in_o coffeehouse_n but_o indeed_o such_o be_v the_o management_n of_o affair_n during_o our_o late_a king_n supremacy_n that_o his_o most_o private_a counsel_n prove_v general_o the_o next_o day_n table-talk_a for_o as_o they_o be_v shallow_a so_o be_v the_o bottom_n of_o they_o discoverable_a to_o every_o common_a eye_n the_o prince_n have_v perhaps_o with_o more_o courage_n than_o caution_n and_o a_o great_a zeal_n for_o the_o protestant_a interest_n then_o care_v of_o his_o own_o particular_a concern_v undertake_v mighty_a thing_n for_o we_o and_o run_v such_o risk_n in_o the_o accomplish_v of_o they_o which_o story_n can_v scarce_o parallel_v but_o what_o the_o sequel_n of_o this_o will_v be_v i_o must_v leave_v to_o astrology_n it_o be_v true_a the_o people_n seem_v to_o be_v unanimous_a to_o a_o wonder_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o sett_n of_o man_n in_o this_o

yet_o fear_v they_o may_v receive_v a_o crush_n in_o this_o great_a turn_v do_v by_o their_o sourness_n and_o discontent_n rather_o assist_v and_o further_o their_o fate_n than_o anticipate_v and_o

church_n of_o england_n receive_v all_o the_o rest_n this_o i_o do_v believe_v to_o be_v true_a if_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v take_v in_o the_o most_o large_a and_o comprehensive_a sense_n by_o include_v all_o such_o as_o frequent_v the_o public_a service_n but_o if_o we_o may_v suppose_v they_o in_o the_o same_o circumstance_n that_o dissenter_n be_v in_o at_o the_o time_n of_o this_o computation_n make_v under_o the_o frown_n of_o the_o court_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o law_n which_o like_o so_o many_o billow_n beat_v in_o against_o they_o if_o thus_o we_o may_v be_v admit_v

nation_n will_v undergo_v fines_n and_o imprisonment_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o surplice_n or_o common-prayer_n the_o prevail_a opinion_n now_o in_o england_n be_v latitudinarian_a most_o man_n
