a_o new_a letter_n from_o windsor_n from_o a_o person_n of_o quality_n to_o his_o friend_n and_o correspondent_n at_o london_n honour_a sir_n though_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o vast_a moment_n and_o

and_o tramble_v on_o nor_o the_o unquiet_a and_o turbulent_a through_o too_o much_o remissness_n become_v insolent_a the_o loyal_a not_o discourage_v nor_o the_o factious_a have_v reason_n to_o rejoice_v a_o task_n which_o none_o but_o such_o to_o who_o nature_n have_v give_v understanding_n equal_a to_o the_o high_a dignity_n to_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v such_o i_o mean_v who_o providence_n think_v worthy_a to_o be_v its_o vicegerent_n on_o earth_n be_v able_a to_o undertake_v much_o less_o perform_v though_o i_o say_v that_o qui_fw-la bene_fw-la gubernat_fw-la est_fw-la deo_fw-la similimus_fw-la he_o that_o rule_v well_o be_v the_o true_a image_n of_o his_o maker_n and_o consequent_o it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o unpardonable_a arrogance_n in_o i_o to_o presume_v to_o meddle_v in_o a_o matter_n as_o far_o above_o the_o capacity_n of_o a_o subject_a as_o be_v the_o almighty_a king_n of_o heaven_n above_o his_o viceroy_n among_o we_o yet_o be_v not_o any_o man_n debar_v from_o declare_v his_o sentiment_n in_o such_o a_o case_n so_o far_o as_o he_o neither_o pretend_v to_o instruct_v his_o prince_n nor_o by_o pry_v into_o his_o cabinet-council_n betray_v the_o fail_n or_o derogate_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o royal-master_n which_o have_v of_o late_o be_v the_o deplorable_a effect_n of_o too_o too_o many_o pamphlet_n who_o author_n purpose_v if_o true_o search_v into_o be_v only_o to_o spread_v sedition_n and_o foment_n rebellion_n a_o thing_n so_o different_a from_o my_o principle_n that_o i_o have_v much_o rather_o desist_v from_o a_o

concentre_v all_o those_o virtue_n that_o compound_v a_o good_a pious_a just_a and_o merciful_a prince_n and_o make_v he_o almost_o a_o object_n of_o adoration_n to_o all_o his_o subject_n that_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o malicious_a and_o though_o unjust_o so_o a_o disaffect_v eye_n however_o in_o this_o juncture_n of_o affair_n when_o the_o king_n prerogative_n seem_v on_o all_o side_n to_o be_v forget_v and_o the_o liberty_n and_o property_n of_o the_o subject_n become_v the_o chief_a business_n of_o the_o nation_n i_o think_v it_o the_o part_n of_o not_o only_o every_o loyal_a

all_o that_o either_o subject_n can_v modest_o require_v or_o a_o king_n without_o derogate_a from_o his_o authority_n can_v grant_n yet_o have_v it_o be_v the_o endeavour_n of_o not_o a_o few_o malignant_n to_o insinuate_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o ignorant_a unsteady_a people_n a_o dislike_n of_o the_o present_a government_n persuade_v they_o that_o arbitrary-power_n be_v break_v in_o upon_o they_o and_o that_o unless_o they_o quick_o stand_v up_o in_o defence_n of_o their_o just_a privilege_n they_o will_v be_v for_o ever_o sell_v to_o slavery_n and_o popery_n two_o thing_n as_o general_o abominate_v by_o the_o vulgar_a as_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o inquisition_n and_o i_o dare_v aver_n as_o far_o from_o the_o king_n intention_n as_o the_o introduce_v of_o mahometanism_n but_o however_o the_o king_n be_v extreme_o oblige_v to_o they_o for_o their_o good_a will_n in_o take_v such_o great_a care_n of_o his_o person_n and_o for_o their_o unspeakable_a zeal_n to_o make_v

to_o depose_v tyrant_n a_o principle_n so_o near_o a_o kin_n to_o that_o bugbear_n popery_n that_o nought_o but_o their_o ignorance_n and_o illiterateness_n can_v testify_v that_o they_o be_v not_o
