better_o late_o than_o never_o it_o be_v melancholy_a to_o consider_v in_o what_o a_o condition_n these_o poor_a kingdom_n be_v and_o that_o which_o make_v it_o still_o more_o deplorable_a be_v that_o they_o have_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n be_v bring_v to_o this_o languish_a state_n by_o those_o who_o real_o wish_v their_o country_n be_v good_a and_o that_o even_o those_o be_v still_o the_o man_n that_o most_o endanger_v the_o liberty_n and_o property_n about_o which_o they_o have_v so_o incessant_o strive_v for_o whether_o king_n james_n or_o k._n william_n prevail_v all_o our_o ancient_a privilege_n seem_v expire_a and_o we_o be_v threaten_v on_o all_o side_n with_o military_a and_o arbitrary_a government_n unless_o we_o make_v a_o tender_a of_o the_o crown_n upon_o the_o term_n of_o the_o constitution_n to_o the_o king_n we_o have_v hitherto_o abdicate_v and_o who_o can_v in_o common_a honesty_n and_o according_a to_o the_o genuine_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n be_v say_v to_o have_v abdicate_v his_o crown_n till_o he_o refuse_v it_o upon_o those_o term_n which_o if_o he_o shall_v the_o distinction_n of_o his_o and_o the_o williamite_n party_n will_v soon_o have_v a_o end_n and_o we_o shall_v all_o join_v against_o he_o and_o france_n as_o common_a foe_n and_o fight_v pro_fw-la aris_n &_o focis_fw-la to_o the_o utmost_a extremity_n and_o with_o that_o unite_a resolution_n that_o religion_n and_o necessity_n inspire_v i_o do_v in_o my_o conscience_n believe_v there_o be_v not_o in_o england_n so_o sensible_a and_o worthy_a man_n as_o those_o who_o frequent_a the_o rose_n and_o richard_n and_o their_o friend_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o their_o honesty_n be_v not_o to_o be_v corrupt_v and_o their_o understanding_n be_v so_o acute_a and_o remarking_a their_o temper_n have_v be_v fatal_o violent_a and_o rather_o apt_a to_o pull_v down_o than_o to_o build_v up_o and_o carry_v away_o with_o personal_a pique_n and_o prepossession_n sometime_o they_o be_v too_o refine_v platonist_n too_o utopian_a and_o at_o other_o ●easons_n they_o know_v no_o bound_n of_o law_n where_o a_o point_n of_o interest_n require_v lay_v it_o aside_o they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o can_v strain_v the_o constitution_n till_o it_o crack_v i_o have_v a_o true_a value_n for_o many_o of_o that_o company_n and_o can_v they_o patient_o in_o private_a examine_v these_o subject_n will_v beg_v such_o a_o conversation_n for_o i_o dare_v trust_v their_o honour_n but_o see_v too_o much_o heat_n remain_v among_o they_o to_o hope_v for_o that_o be_o desirous_a to_o offer_v some_o thing_n to_o their_o consideration_n i_o will_v not_o entertain_v they_o with_o what_o may_v be_v observe_v from_o the_o late_a time_n but_o i_o believe_v they_o will_v find_v many_o true_a englishman_n oppose_v the_o length_n the_o army_n go_v i_o be_o sure_a brave_a algernoon_n sidney_n do_v for_o one_o i_o will_v only_o offer_v this_o one_o thing_n here_o which_o they_o may_v apply_v to_o every_o part_n of_o my_o discourse_n where_o it_o be_v needful_a and_o that_o be_v let_v it_o be_v true_a or_o false_a that_o succesive_a monarchy_n be_v the_o government_n of_o england_n so_o many_o be_v of_o that_o belief_n and_o humour_n that_o he_o that_o have_v that_o title_n will_v never_o want_v a_o considerable_a party_n though_o those_o very_a englishman_n will_v be_v very_o sensible_a when_o their_o religion_n and_o property_n be_v invade_v give_v i_o leave_v from_o hence_o to_o represent_v the_o danger_n into_o which_o you_o be_v former_o drive_v the_o nation_n when_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n be_v on_o foot_n and_o what_o advantage_n you_o may_v have_v have_v if_o your_o hatred_n to_o the_o then_o duke_n of_o york_n have_v not_o overthrow_v your_o judgement_n and_o perfect_o mislead_v you_o or_o next_o this_o late_a advantage_n no_o party_n can_v have_v wish_v for_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n than_o that_o be_v to_o gain_v their_o point_n which_o but_o too_o plain_o tell_v we_o the_o quarrel_n be_v more_o personal_a than_o national_a that_o they_o have_v more_o aversion_n to_o he_o than_o love_v to_o their_o country_n if_o that_o bill_n have_v pass_v you_o know_v many_o will_v not_o have_v set_v down_o by_o it_o and_o you_o have_v have_v every_o body_n upon_o your_o back_n from_o abroad_o and_o what_o be_v yet_o

whatever_o may_v be_v his_o inclination_n towards_o his_o brother_n he_o be_v not_o for_o such_o bold_a step_n in_o government_n yet_o rather_o than_o hazard_v a_o rebellion_n he_o will_v have_v
