strong_a and_o vigilant_a who_o never_o do_v nor_o will_v slip_v any_o opportunity_n to_o advance_v themselves_o and_o bring_v we_o under_o and_o they_o will_v never_o want_v monitor_n to_o incite_v and_o stir_v they_o up_o against_o we_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v a_o jesuit_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v knave_n enough_o to_o dissemble_v with_o god_n and_o man_n and_o pretend_v he_o be_v

to_o it_o by_o the_o event_n of_o affair_n beyond_o their_o intention_n but_o he_o that_o shall_v serious_o consider_v by_o what_o step_v and_o method_n they_o bring_v thing_n about_o and_o the_o

to_o consider_v whence_o this_o hanker_a after_o a_o commonwealth_n spring_v and_o how_o it_o come_v to_o infect_v the_o english_a nation_n some_o have_v ascribe_v this_o to_o the_o more_o frequent_a

therefore_o i_o rather_o ascribe_v it_o first_o to_o the_o presbyterian_a principle_n for_o as_o they_o be_v exact_o reipublican_n as_o have_v be_v make_v to_o appear_v so_o the_o man_n who_o first_o

the_o assistance_n of_o the_o english_a those_o soldier_n that_o have_v live_v many_o year_n among_o they_o take_v such_o a_o fancy_n for_o a_o common_a wealth_n that_o nothing_o can_v satisfy_v they_o without_o it_o and_o according_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o most_o of_o the_o officer_n that_o the_o parliament_n employ_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o late_a war_n have_v be_v breed_v soldier_n in_o the_o netherlands_o 3._o as_o the_o papist_n send_v their_o child_n to_o st._n omers_n and_o other_o place_n to_o be_v educate_v in_o a_o aversion_n for_o our_o religion_n so_o these_o

into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n they_o grow_v proud_a and_o ungovernable_a especial_o after_o king_n james_n have_v put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o war_n with_o spain_n and_o they_o have_v enjoy_v a_o peace_n of_o near_o thirty_o year_n continuance_n and_o that_o trade_n and_o peace_n and_o wealth_n shall_v make_v man_n ungovernable_a

there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o partiality_n that_o spring_v from_o thing_n some_o man_n have_v a_o kindness_n for_o some_o vice_n or_o faction_n and_o they_o love_v that_o in_o another_o which_o they_o cherish_v in_o themselves_o and_o so_o if_o any_o complaint_n be_v make_v they_o wrest_v and_o bend_v the_o law_n to_o comply_v with_o their_o humour_n and_o interest_n and_o sometime_o they_o stretch_v and_o sometime_o they_o shrevil_n and_o shrink_v they_o up_o to_o nothing_o and_o this_o be_v direct_a partiality_n the_o same_o offence_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o punishment_n whoever_o commit_v it_o and_o every_o offence_n that_o very_a punishment_n which_o the_o law_n have_v appoint_v and_o no_o other_o and_o if_o any_o difference_n be_v to_o be_v make_v let_v it_o spring_v from_o some_o consideration_n in_o the_o person_n or_o thing_n and_o not_o from_o we_o punish_v a_o poor_a man_n according_a to_o his_o offence_n and_o his_o poverty_n and_o not_o according_a to_o your_o affection_n towards_o he_o but_o if_o you_o discover_v any_o such_o thing_n within_o you_o be_v sure_a to_o curb_v it_o at_o least_o to_o suspect_v it_o and_o punish_v your_o friend_n according_a to_o law_n and_o your_o enemy_n something_o less_o if_o you_o must_v do_v it_o and_o so_o in_o relation_n to_o other_o thing_n a_o man_n shall_v be_v most_o severe_a against_o his_o own_o vice_n to_o show_v the_o world_n he_o be_v not_o desirous_a it_o shall_v follow_v his_o example_n though_o when_o all_o be_v do_v the_o best_a way_n of_o correction_n be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o begin_v at_o

that_o will_v tempt_v a_o man_n of_o any_o generosity_n to_o do_v a_o ill_a thing_n what_o be_v half_a a_o dozen_o chicken_n or_o a_o couple_n of_o capon_n to_o a_o man_n of_o worship_n and_o yet_o
