that_o form_n of_o government_n it_o be_v answer_v he_o do_v and_o may_v like_v it_o in_o holland_n but_o they_o must_v show_v some_o instance_n that_o his_o zeal_n for_o a_o commonwealth_n be_v as_o hot_a and_o as_o blind_a as_o king_n james_n for_o popery_n before_o they_o can_v prove_v he_o so_o desperate_a a_o foe_n to_o his_o own_o interest_n as_o to_o uncrown_v himself_o and_o make_v himself_o the_o people_n vassal_n when_o he_o be_v and_o may_v be_v their_o gracious_a lord_n if_o it_o be_v urge_v that_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a precedent_n for_o future_a king_n to_o allow_v the_o people_n a_o liberty_n to_o take_v away_o their_o prince_n right_o and_o set_v up_o another_o on_o pretence_n of_o misgovernment_n the_o reply_n be_v the_o late_a king_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o precedent_n by_o first_o attempt_v to_o alter_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o our_o law_n government_n and_o religion_n and_o then_o desert_v we_o and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a precedent_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o prince_n that_o the_o advantage_n be_v take_v it_o be_v however_o necessary_a to_o take_v it_o for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o people_n for_o who_o good_a heaven_n make_v

this_o day_n and_o it_o seem_v as_o necessary_a there_o shall_v be_v some_o precedent_n to_o deter_v prince_n from_o abuse_v their_o power_n as_o well_o as_o to_o restrain_v the_o people_n from_o abuse_v their_o liberty_n for_o both_o tyranny_n and_o rebellion_n be_v great_a sin_n and_o of_o most_o mischievous_a consequence_n wherefore_o this_o unexpected_a example_n may_v make_v our_o king_n more_o just_a and_o more_o apt_a to_o rule_v by_o law_n but_o it_o can_v never_o hurt_v the_o monarchy_n itself_o or_o countenance_v a_o rebellion_n while_o a_o king_n be_v in_o the_o throne_n that_o will_v stay_v to_o hear_v and_o redress_v his_o people_n grievance_n which_o will_v never_o be_v deny_v by_o the_o present_a or_o any_o other_o good_a king_n the_o last_o pretence_n be_v the_o most_o

he_o give_v any_o evidence_n of_o change_v his_o temper_n his_o principle_n his_o zeal_n or_o his_o method_n he_o show_v in_o ireland_n a_o great_a spite_n to_o protestant_n than_o ever_o he_o have_v live_v in_o france_n ever_o since_o where_o he_o have_v see_v how_o much_o it_o tend_v to_o advance_v his_o dear_a absolute_a power_n to_o dragoon_n all_o man_n into_o the_o king_n religion_n his_o only_a motive_n to_o draw_v in_o this_o frenchifyed_a pope_n to_o lend_v he_o money_n to_o invade_v we_o be_v by_o convince_a he_o he_o lose_v all_o by_o his_o zeal_n to_o restore_v popery_n and_o by_o engage_v he_o will_v use_v his_o power_n if_o he_o can_v regain_v it_o only_o to_o promote_v the_o catholic_n interest_n his_o other_o ally_n the_o french-persecutor_n can_v be_v endear_v by_o any_o better_a interest_n till_o the_o principal_a of_o the_o sum_v lend_v be_v repay_v by_o poor_a england_n than_o by_o assurance_n that_o he_o will_v make_v one_o kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n as_o

of_o such_o proceed_n his_o promise_n to_o his_o ally_n his_o zeal_n his_o principle_n and_o his_o nature_n all_o engage_v he_o to_o destroy_v the_o protestant_a religion_n he_o attempt_v it_o when_o

he_o with_o money_n ship_n force_n etc._n etc._n only_o to_o secure_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o church_n of_o england_n he_o must_v be_v tie_v in_o more_o than_o ordinary_a bond_n to_o

they_o be_v more_o at_o ease_n under_o king_n william_n than_o under_o any_o protestant_a king_n ever_o since_o the_o reformation_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v the_o suppress_v all_o other_o

already_o give_v great_a and_o strong_a to_o the_o pope_n and_o french_a king_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o though_o his_o interest_n and_o the_o hope_n that_o some_o will_v be_v so_o mad_a to_o

catholic_n promise_n to_o the_o holy_a father_n and_o the_o hector_n of_o that_o cause_n or_o that_o extort_a one_o to_o heretic_n beside_o we_o shall_v remember_v the_o italian_a proverb_n god_n forgive_v he_o who_o deceive_v i_o once_o but_o god_n forgive_v i_o if_o one_o man_n deceive_v i_o twice_o no_o prince_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o promise_v with_o more_o solemnity_n than_o the_o late_a king_n to_o protect_v the_o protestant_a religion_n or_o the_o church_n of_o england_n yet_o nothing_o be_v more_o clear_a than_o that_o he_o design_v to_o gull_v we_o only_o not_o to_o oblige_v himself_o by_o this_o protestation_n and_o the_o first_o thing_n he_o do_v be_v to_o break_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o dare_v and_o can_v we_o be_v so_o distract_v to_o believe_v he_o again_o he_o declare_v in_o ireland_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n stink_v in_o his_o nose_n and_o that_o he_o abhor_v it_o he_o can_v true_o love_v either_o any_o person_n of_o that_o

his_o own_o friend_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v very_o few_o and_o his_o revenge_n on_o the_o far_o great_a number_n who_o have_v oppose_v his_o design_n will_v outweigh_v the_o
