as_o propitious_a unto_o we_o in_o a_o other_o war_n and_o in_o other_o tumult_n as_o former_o three_o confident_a i_o be_o that_o if_o ireland_n and_o scotland_n join_v together_o and_o if_o which_o god_n prevent_v all_o the_o murmur_a and_o disaffect_v person_n in_o england_n shall_v contribute_v to_o invite_v and_o assist_v they_o in_o a_o invation_n yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o england_n shall_v not_o die_v but_o live_v to_o show_v forth_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n who_o have_v deliver_v we_o who_o do_v and_o who_o yet_o will_v deliver_v we_o what_o nation_n ever_o perish_v in_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n and_o in_o the_o pursue_v thereof_o suffer_v for_o a_o little_a and_o shake_v a_o while_n peradventure_o we_o may_v but_o sure_o those_o suffering_n will_v be_v turn_v unto_o joy_n and_o those_o shake_n unto_o settle_v yet_o my_o friend_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o england_n be_v never_o in_o better_a posture_n to_o secure_v itself_o and_o scotland_n never_o worse_a to_o invade_v we_o but_o i_o be_o above_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n i_o have_v learn_v to_o cease_v from_o man_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n alone_o that_o have_v be_v and_o will_v be_v exalt_v among_o we_o though_o we_o fall_v we_o shall_v rise_v it_o be_v the_o privilege_n of_o just_a and_o righteous_a people_n that_o no_o weapon_n form_v against_o they_o shall_v presper_n as_o touch_v the_o government_n intend_v by_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o time_n of_o parliament_n and_o committee_n of_o estate_n in_o the_o intervale_n i_o doubt_v not_o to_o affirm_v but_o that_o time_n will_v discover_v it_o as_o good_a a_o way_n for_o the_o public_a as_o possible_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n can_v devise_v it_o be_v true_a if_o man_n be_v mad_a it_o will_v be_v chargeable_a to_o settle_v it_o but_o if_o settle_a the_o benefit_n of_o it_o will_v quit_v the_o cost_n either_o i_o have_v be_v very_o unhappy_a in_o the_o author_n that_o i_o have_v read_v or_o else_o upon_o my_o little_a read_n i_o can_v rational_o conclude_v that_o the_o best_a of_o government_n be_v that_o which_o aristotle_n call_v aristocracy_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v in_o part_n mix_v with_o democracy_n let_v there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o the_o democratick_n way_n as_o to_o acknowledge_v all_o power_n fundamental_o in_o the_o people_n and_o all_o person_n entrust_v with_o it_o as_o their_o trustee_n and_o according_o let_v it_o sure_o be_v provide_v that_o such_o trustee_n be_v question_v for_o betray_v or_o ill_o manage_v their_o trust_n and_o in_o order_n hereunto_o let_v a_o council_n of_o state_n manage_v all_o affair_n in_o the_o interval_n of_o parliament_n and_o yet_o let_v those_o also_o be_v questionable_a for_o ill_a management_n in_o time_n of_o parliament_n i_o say_v let_v this_o be_v once_o settle_v and_o the_o law_n of_o this_o nation_n reduce_v i_o shall_v have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o england_n will_v quick_o be_v a_o happy_a commonwealth_n than_o it_o have_v be_v a_o kingdom_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o for_o fourscore_o year_n i_o look_v upon_o as_o indubitable_a aphorism_n of_o state_n which_o ascent_v unto_o and_o pursue_v will_v soon_o end_v our_o murmur_n and_o render_v we_o a_o happy_a people_n first_o that_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o all_o law_n whatsoever_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n defuse_a as_o the_o soul_n through_o the_o whole_a body_n aturall_a not_o confine_v unto_o any_o particular_a it_o be_v therefore_o both_o well_o and_o rational_o resolve_v by_o mr._n mead_n that_o the_o sceptre_n do_v no_o way_n depart_v from_o judah_n nor_o the_o lawgiver_n from_o between_o his_o foot_n though_o without_o a_o king_n of_o david_n race_n when_o the_o shiloh_n come_v therefore_o it_o be_v in_o the_o people_n it_o be_v a_o conceit_n not_o fit_a to_o be_v quarter_v in_o the_o brain_n of_o man_n that_o king_n make_v sceptre_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o sceptre_n do_v declare_v king_n yet_o so_o as_o that_o sceptre_n may_v be_v where_o king_n be_v not_o sceptre_n may_v be_v and_o power_n of_o all_o law_n and_o authority_n they_o be_v as_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n run_v through_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o a_o nation_n which_o albeit_o it_o put_v forth_o itself_o in_o some_o member_n more_o eminent_o than_o another_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o because_o it_o be_v in_o those_o member_n so_o original_o but_o only_o because_o it_o be_v use_v by_o they_o organical_o organical_o king_n and_o prince_n be_v but_o person_n they_o be_v not_o power_n second_o all_o the_o power_n of_o any_o state_n in_o general_n and_o particular_a be_v therefore_o derive_v from_o the_o people_n of_o that_o state_n and_o so_o power_n or_o majesty_n be_v proper_o there_o in_o truth_n majesty_n be_v in_o the_o people_n as_o in_o the_o king_n but_o it_o be_v only_o in_o the_o king_n as_o in_o their_o herald_n it_o be_v record_v that_o at_o jerusalem_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o
