appear_v for_o the_o king_n interest_n but_o true_o all_o thing_n consider_v we_o need_v not_o wonder_v at_o it_o for_o ecclesiastical_a interest_n and_o monarchical_a interest_n have_v be_v and_o must_v be_v jumble_v together_o as_o interwoven_a one_o in_o another_o suitable_a to_o that_o text_n revel_v 17.7_o the_o beast_n must_v bear_v the_o whore_n a_o lively_a portraiture_n of_o your_o

the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n you_o may_v well_o struggle_v and_o bustle_v for_o monarchy_n because_o your_o interest_n depend_v upon_o it_o but_o one_o will_v think_v you_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o mad_a and_o so_o perfidious_o irrarionall_a as_o to_o attempt_v own_o or_o prosecute_v the_o destructive_a propagation_n of_o the_o corrupt_a principle_n and_o interest_n of_o this_o king_n so_o palpable_o destructive_a to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a public_a interest_n i_o beseech_v you_o look_v back_o a_o little_a and_o take_v a_o particular_a survey_n of_o the_o wonderful_a transact_n of_o thing_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o king_n proceed_n do_v ever_o any_o engage_v contriver_n contend_v for_o he_o and_o prosper_v have_v god_n think_v you_o i_o appeal_v to_o your_o conscience_n fight_v so_o wonderful_o so_o unparalleldly_a so_o miraculous_o against_o both_o foreign_a and_o domestic_a enemy_n and_o blast_v all_o plot_n contrivance_n attempt_n and_o stratagem_n for_o nothing_o i_o say_v be_v it_o for_o nothing_o that_o god_n have_v do_v all_o this_o nay_o what_o have_v the_o people_n of_o england_n fight_v for_o this_o many_o year_n if_o not_o for_o a_o free_a and_o impartial_a execution_n of_o justice_n upon_o capital_a offender_n and_o original_a author_n of_o all_o the_o blood_n misery_n and_o ruin_n of_o the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o dare_v you_o i_o say_v dare_v you_o in_o person_n press_v or_o pulpit_n attempt_v to_o stop_v the_o current_n of_o justice_n i_o wonder_v at_o your_o impudence_n be_v not_o impartial_a justice_n the_o alone_a solid_a foundation_n of_o all_o the_o peace_n liberty_n and_o freedom_n that_o can_v be_v expect_v object_n but_o you_o will_v have_v the_o king_n exempt_v because_o there_o be_v no_o precedent_n for_o the_o like_a action_n i_o wonder_v at_o your_o weakness_n answ_n this_o be_v your_o great_a argument_n that_o make_v a_o monster_n through_o city_n and_o kingdom_n but_o if_o examine_v as_o light_a as_o vanity_n itself_o for_o mind_n if_o no_o precedent_n can_v be_v produce_v or_o extract_v from_o our_o ancestor_n then_o this_o parliament_n have_v make_v and_o may_v proceed_v to_o make_v a_o precedent_n for_o posterity_n upon_o such_o solid_a stable_n answerable_a justifiable_a ground_n of_o reason_n equity_n justice_n and_o common_a safety_n that_o all_o the_o world_n if_o they_o judge_v impartial_o can_v possible_o contradict_v now_o as_o presidence_n be_v not_o constant_a rule_n to_o act_v by_o so_o no_o former_a precedent_n whatsoever_o can_v bound_v or_o limit_v the_o proceed_n and_o action_n of_o the_o succeed_a generation_n because_o precedent_n of_o necessity_n may_v and_o must_v differ_v according_a to_o the_o mutable_a different_a condition_n of_o time_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o no_o precedent_n be_v clear_a because_o no_o king_n do_v ever_o personal_o or_o commissional_o so_o perfidious_o attempt_v the_o ruin_n and_o desolation_n of_o the_o public_a interest_n and_o therefore_o no_o cause_n of_o a_o precedent_n of_o this_o nature_n i_o hope_v gainsayer_n will_v be_v silent_a in_o this_o for_o whoever_o deny_v it_o must_v exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o reason_n and_o common_a sense_n and_o whereas_o you_o false_o affirm_v and_o declare_v in_o your_o pernicious_a letterto_a the_o lord_n gen._n that_o its_o a_o

or_o nation_n the_o law_n of_o equity_n justice_n and_o safety_n do_v more_o or_o less_o in_o reference_n to_o dignity_n or_o a_o title_n of_o honour_n exempt_v a_o man_n from_o deserve_a justice_n
