A93406	The picture of a new courtier drawn in conference, between, [brace] Mr. Timeserver, and Mr. Plain-heart. In which is discovered the abhominable practises and horrid hypocrisies of the Usurper, and his time-serving parasites. In which a Protector having been in part unvailed, may see himself discovered by I.S. a lover of Englands dear bought freedomes.	I. S.	1656 (1656)	Wing S42; Thomason E875_6; ESTC R206568	14,398	16

to_o make_v a_o prince_n according_a to_o machivels_n rule_n thus_o you_o have_v my_o persuasion_n concern_v the_o last_o thing_n you_o propose_v tim._n i_o shall_v consider_v of_o what_o you_o have_v

be_v profitable_a although_o its_o contrary_a to_o equity_n and_o justice_n but_o we_o will_v pass_v to_o the_o next_o question_n whether_o his_o highness_n do_v not_o speak_v like_o a_o gracious_a man_n in_o reprove_v the_o last_o parliament_n for_o put_v their_o finger_n on_o their_o brother_n conscience_n plain_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v his_o tongue_n be_v like_o a_o good_a samaritan_n but_o his_o heart_n like_o a_o jew_n which_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o one_o another_o he_o speak_v like_o a_o saint_n but_o act_v like_o a_o serpent_n as_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o same_o man_n which_o the_o parliament_n imprison_v for_o his_o conscience_n have_v he_o imprison_v since_o for_o the_o same_o and_o after_o ten_o or_o twelve_o week_n restraint_n command_v he_o to_o be_v carry_v

since_o plain_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o ingenerall_n that_o his_o own_o advantage_n be_v his_o end_n more_o than_o any_o good_a to_o the_o freedom_n of_o man_n conscience_n 2._o more_o
