A93860	Reflections upon the occurrences of the last year from 5 Nov. 1688 to 5 Nov. 1689. Wherein, the happy progress of the late Revolution, and the unhappy progress of affairs since, are considered; the original of the latter discovered, and the proper means for remedy proposed and recommended.

rehoboam-like_a leave_v to_o the_o unsound_a and_o pernicious_a counsel_n of_o flatterer_n and_o unfaithful_a self-seeking_a favourite_n who_o for_o their_o own_o sinister_a end_n divide_v the_o

have_v be_v ever_o successful_a but_o always_o pernicious_a and_o destructive_a to_o such_o king_n as_o have_v most_o rely_v on_o they_o in_o what_o be_v do_v by_o advice_n of_o legal_a council_n the_o king_n be_v always_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v excuse_v and_o the_o adviser_n answerable_a for_o it_o but_o what_o be_v do_v by_o illegal_a council_n be_v impute_v to_o the_o king_n himself_o

for_o those_o danger_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o and_o then_o declare_v his_o hope_n that_o those_o evil_n may_v be_v prevent_v by_o a_o course_n of_o wise_a and_o steady_a counsel_n for_o the_o future_a and_o these_o kingdom_n grow_v again_o to_o make_v such_o a_o figure_n as_o they_o have_v former_o do_v in_o the_o world_n and_o as_o they_o may_v always_o do_v if_o our_o union_n and_o conduct_n be_v equal_a to_o our_o force_n and_o his_o resolution_n to_o that_o end_n to_o lay_v aside_o the_o use_n he_o have_v make_v of_o any_o single_a

his_o own_o so_o that_o none_o can_v be_v charge_v with_o what_o be_v do_v but_o the_o king_n himself_o which_o be_v no_o less_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n than_o contrary_a to_o ancient_a custom_n and_o the_o good_a polity_n of_o our_o ancestor_n the_o other_o observation_n be_v this_o what_o at_o first_o and_o for_o some_o time_n be_v order_v by_o the_o assembly_n of_o
