something_o surprise_v to_o hear_v king_n james_n his_o secretary_n put_v out_o their_o master_n secret_a design_n that_o be_v so_o much_o his_o interest_n to_o conceal_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o know_v they_o before_o to_o our_o cost_n and_o we_o hope_v be_v on_o the_o way_n to_o be_v sufficient_o secure_v against_o any_o further_a effect_n of_o they_o in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o paragraph_n we_o be_v tell_v that_o several_a protestant_n be_v now_o return_v to_o their_o country_n and_o habitation_n and_o that_o more_o will_v follow_v if_o the_o port_n be_v open_a but_o the_o usurper_n as_o he_o please_v to_o call_v their_o present_a majesty_n know_v too_o well_o the_o sincerity_n of_o his_o intention_n to_o permit_v so_o free_a passage_n for_o they_o this_o indeed_o be_v all_o of_o a_o piece_n with_o the_o rest_n we_o be_v witness_n every_o day_n of_o hundred_o of_o poor_a protestant_n of_o that_o country_n grasp_a every_o opportunity_n they_o can_v at_o any_o rate_n purchase_n to_o abandon_v their_o home_n and_o all_o that_o be_v dear_a to_o they_o that_o they_o may_v but_o escape_v with_o their_o life_n and_o i_o defy_v any_o of_o king_n james_n his_o friend_n to_o instance_n i_o one_o single_a person_n of_o any_o condition_n that_o have_v dare_v to_o return_v home_o since_o his_o arrival_n in_o ireland_n none_o of_o they_o be_v so_o far_o in_o love_n with_o

grand_fw-fr who_o i_o confess_v have_v the_o great_a reason_n of_o hatred_n against_o his_o majesty_n as_o be_v the_o great_a supporter_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o europe_n and_o who_o in_o conjunction_n with_o his_o ally_n be_v best_a able_a to_o bring_v to_o reason_n that_o insupportable_a enemy_n of_o christendom_n yea_o of_o mankind_n itself_o it_o be_v a_o impertinent_a piece_n of_o boldness_n or_o rather_o unpardonable_a impudence_n to_o offer_v to_o vindicate_v their_o majesty_n from_o that_o injurious_a designation_n since_o the_o wisdom_n and_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n be_v paramount_n to_o all_o private_a assertion_n of_o their_o majesty_n just_o right_o and_o that_o the_o most_o if_o not_o all_o the_o crown_a head_n and_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o state_n of_o europe_n not_o only_o rank_v our_o present_a king_n among_o the_o best_a and_o great_a king_n of_o england_n but_o promise_v to_o themselves_o from_o his_o assistance_n to_o bridle_v lovis_n le_fw-fr grand_fw-fr within_o his_o proper_a boundary_n it_o be_v ever_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o principle_n of_o common_a law_n that_o a_o heir_n in_o remainder_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o sue_v he_o that_o be_v in_o possession_n if_o he_o make_v waste_v on_o the_o inheritance_n that_o belong_v to_o he_o in_o reversion_n that_o the_o heir_n of_o a_o crown_n shall_v interpose_v when_o he_o see_v he_o that_o be_v in_o possession_n hurry_v on_o by_o bad_a counsel_n to_o subject_v a_o independent_a kingdom_n to_o a_o foreign_a jurisdiction_n be_v much_o more_o reasonable_a since_o the_o thing_n be_v of_o much_o more_o importance_n and_o that_o this_o be_v king_n james_n his_o case_n be_v apparent_a by_o the_o transaction_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o castlemain_n at_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o rather_o that_o by_o a_o great_a many_o statute_n it_o be_v treason_n to_o have_v correspondence_n with_o that_o see_v this_o incline_v to_o the_o set_n up_o of_o a_o pretend_a heir_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n believe_v he_o supposititious_a be_v a_o just_a and_o lawful_a ground_n for_o one_o sovereign_a prince_n such_o as_o his_o majesty_n be_v when_o prince_n of_o orange_n to_o make_v war_n against_o another_o that_o have_v so_o abuse_v his_o power_n and_o it_o be_v a_o unquestionable_a maxim_n among_o lawyer_n that_o the_o success_n of_o a_o just_a war_n give_v a_o lawful_a title_n to_o that_o which_o be_v acquire_v in_o the_o progress_n of_o it_o therefore_o king_n james_n have_v so_o far_o sink_v in_o the_o war_n that_o he_o both_o abandon_v his_o people_n and_o desert_v the_o government_n all_o his_o right_n and_o title_n to_o the_o crown_n do_v thereupon_o accrue_v to_o his_o present_a majesty_n in_o the_o right_n of_o conquest_n so_o that_o he_o may_v have_v lawful_o then_o assume_v the_o crown_n but_o his_o present_a majesty_n choose_v rather_o to_o leave_v the_o matter_n to_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o peer_n and_o representative_n of_o the_o people_n assemble_v with_o all_o freedom_n in_o the_o convention_n who_o do_v thereupon_o declare_v he_o king_n so_o that_o though_o he_o be_v vest_v with_o a_o just_a title_n of_o conquest_n he_o choose_v rather_o to_o receive_v the_o crown_n by_o their_o declaration_n than_o to_o hold_v it_o in_o the_o right_n of_o his_o sword_n this_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o say_v not_o so_o much_o for_o confutation_n of_o the_o injury_n do_v their_o majesty_n in_o the_o abovementioned_a designation_n which_o need_v not_o my_o pen_n but_o to_o state_n their_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n in_o such_o a_o light_n as_o may_v remove_v needless_a scruple_n of_o swear_a allegiance_n to_o they_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o three_o and_o last_o paragraph_n king_n james_n tell_v we_o that_o nothing_o but_o his_o own_o inclination_n to_o justice_n can_v prevail_v with_o he_o to_o such_o a_o proceed_v as_o that_o of_o his_o care_n of_o his_o protestant_a subject_n in_o

difficult_a matter_n to_o make_v a_o judgement_n of_o what_o we_o may_v just_o expect_v from_o he_o if_o ever_o divine_a judgement_n as_o the_o reward_n of_o our_o ingratitude_n for_o so_o great_a a_o

religion_n that_o have_v in_o a_o famous_a council_n decree_v that_o no_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v with_o heretic_n much_o less_o with_o subject_n that_o he_o look_v upon_o as_o so_o many_o rebel_n and_o will_v not_o miss_v to_o treat_v they_o as_o such_o when_o ever_o they_o give_v he_o the_o opportunity_n of_o do_v it_o for_o his_o great_a admirer_n do_v not_o run_v to_o that_o height_n of_o idolatry_n to_o imagine_v he_o so_o much_o angel_n as_o not_o to_o take_v all_o method_n to_o revenge_v such_o a_o affront_n and_o secure_v himself_o at_o our_o cost_n from_o such_o treatment_n for_o the_o future_a the_o apprehension_n of_o which_o resentment_n will_v strike_v such_o terror_n in_o man_n mind_n that_o nothing_o will_v be_v capable_a to_o divert_v they_o from_o offer_v up_o all_o for_o a_o atonement_n and_o popery_n and_o slavery_n will_v be_v think_v a_o good_a bargain_n if_o they_o can_v but_o save_v their_o life_n then_o we_o may_v lament_v our_o misery_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o our_o power_n to_o help_v they_o for_o a_o prince_n of_o orange_n be_v not_o always_o ready_a to_o rescue_v we_o with_o so_o vast_a expense_n and_o hazard_v of_o

of_o late_a be_v not_o easy_a to_o be_v forget_v we_o have_v find_v to_o our_o sad_a experience_n that_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o court_n and_o that_o of_o the_o people_n be_v two_o incompatible_a
