requisite_a to_o a_o accomplish_a lawyer_n but_o our_o comfort_n be_v that_o in_o the_o present_a state_n of_o affair_n not_o so_o much_o profoundness_n of_o skill_n as_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n not_o the_o great_a understanding_n but_o the_o good_a will_n be_v the_o most_o indispensable_a necessary_n for_o his_o majesty_n service_n not_o only_o in_o this_o but_o in_o most_o other_o station_n and_o employment_n and_o for_o these_o i_o may_v without_o vanity_n challenge_v they_o to_o myself_o and_o i_o hope_v be_v no_o stranger_n to_o most_o of_o you_o here_o present_a you_o will_v easy_o believe_v and_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o and_o that_o if_o on_o the_o one_o side_n you_o regard_v his_o majesty_n affair_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o circumstance_n of_o my_o life_n and_o

suffice_v to_o justify_v his_o majesty_n choice_n and_o notwithstanding_o my_o own_o avow_a defectiveness_n and_o incapacity_n in_o other_o respect_n my_o submission_n to_o it_o mean_a while_n i_o be_o not_o to_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n that_o even_o these_o belove_a ouality_n which_o i_o seem_v to_o glory_n in_o of_o zeal_n and_o fidelity_n in_o his_o majesty_n service_n and_o which_o i_o plead_v as_o a_o atonement_n for_o my_o other_o unworthiness_n that_o even_o these_o alone_a i_o say_v be_v enough_o to_o blast_v i_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o man_n who_o will_v never_o hope_v for_o any_o good_a from_o one_o so_o dispose_v and_o declare_v the_o distraction_n and_o difference_n of_o opinion_n have_v cause_v such_o disaffection_n of_o heart_n that_o man_n fancy_n be_v fill_v

come_v to_o pass_v that_o a_o man_n can_v no_o soon_o make_v profession_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o zeal_n to_o his_o majesty_n service_n but_o some_o discontent_a and_o ill-affected_a worldling_n who_o know_v little_a and_o love_v less_o beside_o what_o concern_v his_o own_o self-interest_n represent_v he_o to_o himself_o and_o other_o as_o one_o of_o the_o court-party_n no_o friend_n to_o his_o country_n one_o ready_a to_o sacrifice_v his_o own_o and_o all_o other_o man_n liberty_n and_o property_n to_o the_o arbitrary_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o prince_n neither_o do_v this_o happen_v in_o matter_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o king_n only_o or_o upon_o temporal_a account_n alone_o but_o also_o in_o all_o endeavour_n and_o good_a desire_n for_o the_o welfare_n of_o our_o fellow-subject_n too_o and_o that_o in_o thing_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o concern_v the_o conscience_n only_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o a_o man_n can_v compassionate_v the_o heavy_a suffering_n of_o his_o innocent_a neighbour_n for_o matter_n of_o mere_a religion_n but_o he_o be_v present_o malign_v by_o some_o bigot_n or_o other_o as_o a_o enemy_n and_o underminer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o i_o myself_o be_v in_o this_o very_a place_n for_o this_o only_a cause_n in_o the_o late_a heat_n at_o the_o quarter-session_n for_o this_o

tell_v they_o that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o the_o first_o of_o they_o seem_v to_o trace_v back_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o time_n in_o which_o it_o be_v neither_o sufficient_a nor_o safe_a for_o a_o man_n to_o declare_v for_o the_o king_n but_o he_o must_v be_v for_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n too_o till_o at_o last_o he_o must_v upon_o his_o peril_n disclaim_v both_o king_n and_o parliament_n whereas_o in_o reality_n loyalty_n to_o the_o king_n and_o justice_n to_o the_o people_n be_v in_o their_o very_a essence_n so_o unite_v together_o that_o they_o be_v incapable_a of_o separation_n the_o second_o sort_n seem_v to_o have_v forget_v or_o even_o desert_v the_o somuch_a boast_a principle_n of_o their_o own_o church_n which_o they_o use_v
