public_a calamity_n of_o a_o rebellion_n be_v innumerable_a i_o shall_v only_o instance_n in_o some_o of_o they_o that_o be_v most_o obvious_a when_o people_n be_v disaffect_v to_o the_o government_n of_o church_n or_o state_n and_o thence_o take_v a_o occasion_n to_o break_v out_o into_o civil_a war_n the_o subject_n can_v neither_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v our_o

no_o difference_n between_o right_n and_o wrong_n strength_n be_v the_o lawgiver_n and_o the_o long_a sword_n the_o measure_n of_o justice_n the_o cornfield_n be_v destroy_v the_o stately_a building_n be_v either_o void_a of_o inhabitant_n or_o be_v make_v a_o garrison_n and_o those_o that_o be_v strong_a the_o house_n of_o god_n be_v profune_v and_o demolish_v and_o be_v make_v a_o receptacle_n for_o bird_n and_o beast_n and_o the_o whole_a land_n lie_v desolate_a grass_n and_o weed_n grow_v in_o the_o sreet_n of_o our_o great_a city_n the_o wall_n be_v beat_v down_o the_o house_n burn_v

there_o be_v no_o other_o punishment_n for_o resist_v the_o supreme_a power_n after_o this_o life_n yet_o the_o calamity_n i_o have_v mention_v may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o terrify_v any_o one_o from_o it_o that_o be_v not_o altogether_o void_a of_o sense_n and_o honesty_n rebellion_n be_v punishment_n enough_o for_o itself_o these_o be_v the_o public_a misery_n of_o rebellion_n 2._o second_o there_o be_v misery_n that_o befall_v private_a person_n in_o rebellion_n the_o several_a public_a calamity_n that_o i_o have_v now_o reckon_v though_o they_o be_v not_o all_o yet_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o whilst_o any_o kingdom_n be_v in_o that_o condition_n no_o particular_a person_n can_v be_v happy_a but_o beside_o all_o this_o there_o be_v another_o reason_n to_o terrify_v particular_a person_n from_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n when_o the_o rebellion_n be_v end_v for_o it_o can_v last_v always_o what_o a_o disgrace_n as_o well_o as_o misery_n be_v it_o for_o one_o to_o be_v mark_v for_o a_o rebel_n to_o be_v proclaim_v a_o traitor_n to_o lose_v a_o estate_n or_o a_o employment_n for_o villainy_n to_o be_v hang_v for_o

be_v so_o stupid_a as_o not_o to_o pray_v for_o themselves_o will_v never_o be_v persuade_v to_o pray_v for_o other_o and_o he_o that_o neglect_v his_o own_o advantage_n will_v never_o be_v much_o concern_v for_o the_o public_a good_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n more_o plain_a than_o that_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o safety_n of_o a_o nation_n redound_v to_o the_o particular_a

it_o be_v natural_a for_o every_o man_n to_o wish_v well_o to_o the_o place_n of_o his_o nativity_n or_o the_o place_n of_o his_o residence_n and_o how_o he_o can_v do_v that_o without_o desire_v the_o public_a good_a of_o such_o a_o place_n i_o can_v understand_v every_o man_n particular_a advantage_n and_o safety_n be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o public_a there_o be_v no_o person_n so_o

war_n be_v often_o begin_v but_o always_o carry_v on_o by_o the_o common_a people_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v prevent_v such_o disturbance_n not_o but_o they_o mean_v as_o well_o and_o oft_o time_n better_o than_o those_o that_o persuade_v they_o to_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o a_o kingdom_n but_o they_o be_v person_n usual_o of_o mean_a understanding_n and_o be_v very_o often_o cajole_v and_o wheedle_v into_o rebellion_n by_o fine_a word_n and_o guild_a pretence_n the_o best_a way_n for_o the_o ordinary_a sort_n of_o man_n not_o to_o be_v catch_v in_o these_o snare_n be_v to_o believe_v and_o consider_v that_o rebellion_n be_v a_o most_o grievous_a sin_n it_o be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n and_o you_o know_v the_o law_n say_v thou_o shall_v not_o suffer_v a_o witch_n to_o live_v and_o if_o rebellion_n be_v such_o a_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o the_o pretence_n of_o defend_v liberty_n and_o property_n of_o destroy_a popery_n &_o arbitrary_a government_n that_o can_v make_v it_o not_o a_o sin_n for_o however_o advantageous_a these_o may_v be_v to_o a_o commonwealth_n yet_o still_o rebellion_n be_v a_o damn_v sin_n and_o we_o must_v not_o do_v evil_a that_o

many_o of_o those_o person_n that_o be_v seduce_v into_o rebellion_n when_o they_o see_v the_o injustice_n and_o hypocrisy_n of_o their_o ringleader_n be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o proceed_n be_v not_o
