the_o balance_n adjusted_n or_o the_o interest_n of_o church_n and_o state_n weigh_v and_o consider_v upon_o this_o revolution_n sir_n i_o be_o hearty_o glad_a to_o find_v by_o your_o letter_n that_o the_o state-prodigal_n the_o vindiciae_fw-la juris_fw-la regii_fw-la and_o some_o other_o thing_n have_v bring_v you_o so_o far_o on_o your_o way_n back_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o to_o close_v up_o those_o other_o point_n upon_o which_o you_o hesitate_n that_o you_o may_v easy_o and_o hearty_o return_v to_o your_o duty_n to_o god_n your_o king_n and_o your_o country_n to_o all_o which_o this_o unhappy_a revolution_n have_v do_v most_o manifest_a dishonour_n and_o wrong_v i_o find_v the_o loss_n at_o sea_n by_o extraordinary_a storm_n as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o enemy_n the_o 〈…〉_o say_v the_o destruction_n of_o your_o army_n in_o ireland_n by_o famine_n and_o pestilance_n two_o of_o the_o sharp_a arrow_n in_o the_o almighty_n quiver_n in_o a_o manner_n so_o full_a of_o horror_n and_o consternation_n while_o the_o king_n have_v health_n and_o plenty_n in_o his_o quarter_n and_o city_n have_v bring_v you_o to_o a_o just_a apprehension_n that_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v against_o you_o who_o once_o do_v distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o land_n of_o goshen_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o egypt_n betwixt_o the_o house_n of_o the_o israelite_n and_o egyptian_n when_o the_o destroy_a angel_n go_v forth_o the_o respect_n i_o have_v for_o you_o make_v i_o not_o able_a to_o dissemble_v my_o satisfaction_n that_o you_o yourself_o now_o think_v your_o chariot_n wheel_n of_o and_o that_o you_o ought_v no_o long_o to_o oppose_v that_o providence_n which_o be_v not_o at_o a_o stand_n as_o some_o say_v but_o by_o remarkable_a instance_n declare_v itself_o for_o the_o contrary_a party_n you_o be_v much_o in_o the_o right_n that_o you_o now_o conclude_v we_o either_o be_v not_o in_o danger_n of_o popery_n under_o king_n james_n or_o that_o we_o be_v not_o more_o secure_a nay_o not_o so_o safe_a from_o it_o now_o the_o king_n never_o as_o can_v be_v learn_v declare_v that_o he_o will_v bring_v it_o in_o but_o something_o like_o the_o contrary_n we_o must_v not_o think_v a_o toleration_n or_o take_v off_o the_o penal_a law_n though_o they_o be_v such_o good_a fence_n and_o bulwark_n as_o church-of_a england-man_n shall_v not_o part_v with_o to_o be_v set_v up_o popery_n all_o dissenter_n desire_v and_o have_v now_o get_v so_o much_o for_o themselves_o and_o the_o king_n for_o his_o party_n never_o desire_v more_o and_o with_o this_o remarkable_a difference_n that_o he_o desire_v law_n for_o what_o he_o do_v but_o our_o new_a governor_n do_v the_o same_o thing_n without_o it_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o wonder_v many_o more_o beside_o you_o have_v not_o take_v check_v at_o so_o manifest_a a_o paradox_n that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n shall_v go_v about_o to_o set_v up_o popery_n in_o a_o nation_n which_o have_v all_o the_o horrible_a apprehension_n of_o it_o that_o a_o idea_n of_o the_o beast_n in_o the_o revelation_n can_v create_v and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o the_o pope_n that_o man_n of_o sin_n shall_v engage_v all_o his_o adherent_n in_o a_o confederacy_n and_o use_v his_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o pull_v it_o down_o or_o to_o protect_v we_o from_o it_o you_o say_v well_o that_o you_o can_v find_v what_o new_a security_n we_o have_v get_v for_o our_o religion_n upon_o this_o revolution_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a undeniable_a matter_n of_o fact_n declare_v and_o boast_v of_o by_o mr._n h_n and_z other_o and_o prove_v by_o many_o overt_a act_n that_o the_o p._n of_o oh_o enterprise_n be_v first_o project_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o a_o prince_n that_o be_v firm_a enough_o to_o our_o religion_n that_o it_o be_v build_v and_o support_v upon_o the_o pope_n interest_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o confederacy_n who_o about_o may_v last_v send_v a_o nuncio_n to_o congratulate_v the_o success_n and_o that_o the_o p._n of_o o._n that_o glorious_a pillar_n of_o the_o reformation_n and_o the_o mighty_a deliverer_n of_o our_o church_n and_o state_n do_v promise_v the_o pope_n to_o preserve_v the_o papist_n in_o england_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o pursuant_n to_o his_o promise_n do_v cause_v the_o priest_n to_o be_v set_v at_o liberty_n throughout_o england_n though_o many_o good_a well_o know_v protestant_n be_v keep_v in_o gaol_n contrary_a to_o our_o law_n and_o the_o fundamental_o of_o our_o constitution_n these_o thing_n you_o say_v well_o have_v raise_v such_o a_o mist_n in_o your_o eye_n that_o you_o can_v as_o yet_o perceive_v any_o security_n at_o all_o to_o our_o religion_n neither_o can_v any_o body_n else_o as_o i_o believe_v except_o the_o old_a woman_n who_o for_o a_o husband_n can_v see_v the_o egg_n upon_o the_o top_n of_o it_o though_o she_o can_v not_o see_v the_o barn._n you_o may_v well_o wonder_v upon_o second_o thought_n why_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v under_o such_o dismal_a fear_n of_o popery_n under_o king_n james_n because_o no_o man_n can_v make_v another_o a_o papist_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n a_o man_n can_v change_v or_o alter_v his_o own_o belief_n at_o pleasure_n much_o less_o can_v another_o do_v it_o for_o he_o without_o conviction_n i_o never_o hear_v that_o k._n james_n ever_o offer_v to_o say_v much_o for_o his_o religion_n and_o i_o have_v more_o ground_n to_o presume_v the_o p._n of_o o._n have_v less_o to_o say_v against_o it_o and_o for_o what_o the_o priest_n can_v do_v they_o have_v as_o much_o liberty_n and_o some_o more_o advantage_n now_o than_o they_o have_v under_o king_n james_n unless_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o wear_v their_o habit_n may_v have_v as_o strong_a charm_n against_o heresy_n as_o some_o say_v it_o have_v against_o the_o devil_n the_o truth_n be_v if_o this_o revolution_n have_v not_o abundant_o prove_v that_o to_o dispute_v against_o unreasonable_a fear_n and_o boundless_a ambition_n or_o insatiable_a revenge_n be_v to_o row_v against_o wind_n and_o tide_n i_o will_v give_v myself_o leave_v to_o enlarge_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o patience_n and_o constancy_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n who_o by_o their_o suffering_n give_v life_n and_o honour_n to_o their_o religion_n and_o propagate_v their_o faith_n by_o shed_v their_o blood_n and_o upon_o the_o martyrdom_n of_o our_o first_o reformer_n under_o queen_n mary_n which_o certain_o perfect_v and_o establish_v the_o reformation_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n insomuch_o that_o as_o the_o law_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n oblige_v we_o to_o adhere_v to_o the_o truth_n however_o persecute_v or_o despise_v stephen_n see_v guliel_n nubrigensis_n of_o the_o usurpat_fw-la of_o k._n stephen_n and_o under_o the_o high_a penalty_n forbid_v we_o to_o debauch_v or_o corrupt_v it_o for_o any_o interest_n or_o security_n so_o i_o will_v here_o have_v give_v some_o instance_n even_o in_o our_o own_o kingdom_n how_o much_o man_n have_v be_v disappoint_v who_o have_v go_v about_o to_o cover_v with_o a_o cover_n but_o not_o of_o god_n to_o provide_v for_o their_o own_o security_n as_o not_o dare_v to_o trust_v the_o issue_n of_o thing_n with_o god_n but_o as_o the_o corruptness_n of_o the_o time_n give_v i_o occasion_n to_o believe_v such_o harangue_n will_v not_o be_v very_o successful_a so_o your_o case_n make_v they_o less_o needful_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v hasten_v on_o thus_o far_o you_o say_v you_o be_v satisfy_v and_o so_o may_v all_o the_o world_n be_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o confederacy_n that_o the_o revolution_n be_v in_o agitation_n before_o k._n c._n end_v his_o reign_n that_o monmouth_n rebellion_n be_v but_o a_o essay_n towards_o it_o he_o take_v his_o leave_n of_o the_o p._n at_o the_o hague_n and_o the_o scatter_a fragment_n of_o his_o enterprise_n find_v there_o succour_n and_o maintenance_n and_o be_v account_v the_o p._n of_o o_n best_o friend_n case_n instance_n in_o sir_n rob._n payton_n case_n and_o such_o as_o endeavour_v to_o seize_v and_o bring_v any_o of_o they_o to_o justice_n reckon_v his_o enemy_n that_o the_o fanatic_n who_o be_v deep_a in_o our_o new_a government_n when_o they_o make_v such_o address_n to_o the_o king_n offer_v their_o life_n and_o fortune_n intend_v to_o betray_v he_o and_o last_o you_o own_v yourself_o to_o be_v full_o convince_v that_o the_o p._n of_o o._n come_v notwithstanding_o his_o declaration_n with_o a_o design_n to_o dethrone_v his_o father_n and_o to_o usurp_v his_o crown_n because_o there_o be_v unexceptionable_a witness_n to_o depose_v that_o above_o three_o year_n since_o the_o favourite_n at_o the_o hague_n be_v advise_v with_o their_o friend_n what_o place_n to_o put_v in_o for_o at_o court_n when_o
the_o p._n of_o o._n come_v to_o be_v king_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o such_o forward_a spirit_n to_o look_v at_o reversion_n after_o his_o death_n since_o the_o king_n have_v neither_o old_a age_n nor_o astma_fw-la nor_o any_o other_o infirmity_n upon_o he_o that_o may_v give_v they_o that_o occasion_n and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o another_o demonstration_n that_o you_o be_v not_o mistake_v about_o his_o intention_n at_o shirbourn_n castle_n his_o highness_n make_v a_o solemn_a promise_n of_o some_o ecclesiastical_a preferment_n to_o a_o clergyman_n who_o be_v resolve_v to_o put_v in_o time_n enough_o there_o make_v his_o application_n upon_o these_o and_o many_o more_o such_o like_a account_n you_o say_v you_o be_v very_o sensible_a that_o the_o revolution_n stand_v upon_o a_o foundation_n which_o have_v no_o mixture_n in_o it_o of_o honour_n or_o honesty_n but_o yet_o you_o dare_v scarce_o entertain_v the_o thought_n of_o another_o revolution_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o french_a and_o lest_o the_o nation_n shall_v lose_v the_o comfort_n and_o advantage_n of_o good_a neighbourhood_n and_o alliance_n with_o the_o dutch._n now_o i_o think_v if_o i_o set_v you_o right_o in_o these_o two_o point_n your_o way_n be_v quite_o clear_v and_o i_o suppose_v i_o shall_v do_v that_o if_o i_o make_v out_o upon_o the_o square_a these_o follow_a thing_n 1._o that_o our_o king_n will_v not_o make_v any_o use_n of_o the_o french_a to_o annoy_v we_o 2._o if_o he_o will_v the_o french_a will_v not_o assist_v he_o in_o it_o 3._o that_o all_o the_o mischief_n we_o can_v apprehend_v from_o the_o french_a and_o much_o more_o we_o shall_v suffer_v from_o the_o dutch._n first_o i_o say_v the_o king_n will_v not_o offer_v to_o bring_v the_o french_a upon_o we_o to_o annoy_v we_o and_o especial_o in_o our_o religion_n because_o it_o be_v against_o all_o the_o common_a and_o know_v rule_n of_o policy_n for_o any_o prince_n who_o be_v at_o peace_n at_o home_n to_o call_v in_o any_o foreigner_n because_o they_o always_o plunder_n and_o ravage_n the_o nation_n and_o throw_v the_o people_n into_o a_o discontent_a fear_n and_o a_o neglect_n of_o trade_n and_o then_o twenty_o to_o one_o but_o they_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o the_o prince_n that_o invite_v they_o when_o he_o be_v weaken_a by_o the_o poverty_n and_o disaffection_n of_o his_o subject_n second_o we_o must_v conclude_v the_o king_n will_v not_o bring_v in_o a_o french_a army_n because_o he_o harbour_v and_o cherish_v with_o a_o princely_a compassion_n and_o charity_n all_o those_o hugonot_n who_o in_o very_o great_a number_n come_v over_o from_o france_n we_o see_v by_o experience_n they_o will_v have_v bear_v arm_n against_o he_o and_o the_o king_n will_v never_o have_v receive_v they_o who_o he_o may_v have_v well_o keep_v back_o without_o discontent_a the_o nation_n which_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n then_o up_o be_v unwilling_a enough_o to_o entertain_v they_o three_o we_o must_v believe_v the_o king_n will_v never_o have_v offer_v to_o bring_v in_o any_o french_a army_n upon_o we_o because_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n and_o goodness_n he_o procure_v when_o he_o be_v d._n of_o york_n a_o repeal_n of_o the_o statute_n de_fw-fr comburendo_fw-la haeretico_fw-la a_o law_n which_o will_v have_v do_v his_o business_n even_o without_o the_o french_a if_o he_o will_v have_v be_v at_o that_o work_n last_o we_o may_v conclude_v without_o impeachment_n to_o our_o reason_n that_o the_o king_n will_v not_o bring_v in_o a_o french_a army_n because_o he_o do_v not_o go_v about_o it_o for_o after_o all_o that_o a_o malicious_a industry_n can_v do_v the_o p._n of_o o._n in_o a_o defence_n of_o his_o declaration_n publish_v by_o his_o highness_n command_n confess_v in_o the_o very_a first_o paragraph_n no_o such_o league_n with_o france_n can_v be_v prove_v but_o now_o if_o the_o king_n of_o england_n can_v have_v have_v such_o a_o design_n the_o king_n of_o france_n will_v not_o have_v concur_v with_o he_o in_o it_o and_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v he_o will_v not_o first_o because_o he_o decline_v the_o overture_n which_o the_o dutch_a make_v he_o 5._o see_v stubbe_n further_a justification_n of_o the_o war_n with_o the_o unite_a netherlands_o p._n 5._o to_o transport_v fifty_o thousand_o of_o his_o soldier_n into_o any_o part_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n england_n s_o dominion_n have_v the_o king_n of_o france_n be_v incline_v to_o invade_v we_o as_o the_o dutch_a advise_v and_o some_o fear_v he_o will_v never_o have_v baulk_v a_o opportunity_n so_o fit_a for_o such_o a_o enterprise_n for_o the_o dutch_a make_v he_o the_o offer_n when_o the_o old_a rebel_n have_v almost_o put_v the_o nation_n into_o confusion_n again_o second_o the_o king_n of_o france_n will_v not_o assist_v the_o k._n of_o england_n in_o any_o such_o design_n because_o if_o he_o send_v any_o of_o his_o man_n to_o embroil_v we_o he_o can_v not_o defend_v his_o conquest_n upon_o the_o continent_n nay_o he_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o defend_v his_o own_o kingdom_n against_o those_o many_o enemy_n that_o surround_v he_o three_o he_o will_v not_o because_o the_o welfare_n of_o france_n depend_v much_o upon_o the_o prosperity_n and_o good_a condition_n of_o england_n we_o consume_v more_o of_o their_o manufacture_n than_o any_o nation_n do_v and_o they_o much_o of_o we_o so_o that_o the_o balance_n of_o trade_n be_v at_o least_o much_o more_o equal_a betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o french_a than_o betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o dutch_a from_o who_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v come_v as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o the_o huckster_n hand_n those_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o prohibit_v commerce_n with_o france_n stand_v upon_o this_o notion_n that_o a_o trade_n with_o england_n be_v of_o mighty_a importance_n to_o france_n and_o if_o stop_v of_o trade_n be_v cut_v the_o sinew_n of_o that_o kingdom_n we_o may_v just_o conclude_v that_o monarch_n will_v not_o go_v about_o to_o hamstring_n himself_o a_o man_n therefore_o must_v be_v very_o subject_a to_o the_o night_n mare_n indeed_o that_o can_v apprehend_v dragoon_v from_o france_n whatsoever_o his_o zeal_n or_o his_o ambition_n can_v prompt_v he_o to_o do_v upon_o his_o hugonot_n at_o home_n we_o may_v see_v that_o king_n either_o repent_v or_o have_v policy_n enough_o not_o to_o pursue_v the_o point_n any_o further_o by_o this_o time_n i_o presume_v your_o stomach_n be_v settle_v and_o you_o out_o of_o danger_n of_o another_o qualm_n for_o fear_n of_o france_n i_o will_v now_o proceed_v to_o show_v you_o that_o your_o mistake_n be_v both_o gross_a and_o dangerous_a that_o upon_o this_o revolution_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o happy_a and_o advantageous_a alliance_n with_o the_o dutch._n if_o we_o have_v any_o advantage_n from_o the_o dutch_a it_o must_v be_v either_o in_o protection_n to_o our_o religion_n or_o safeguard_n to_o our_o country_n or_o improvement_n of_o our_o trade_n but_o i_o will_v demonstrate_v that_o your_o expectation_n be_v vain_a and_o ill_o ground_v as_o to_o every_o one_o of_o these_o particular_n and_o that_o i_o hope_v will_v amount_v to_o a_o full_a conviction_n first_o it_o be_v improper_a and_o absurd_a to_o expect_v protection_n for_o our_o religion_n from_o the_o dutch_a because_o the_o dutch_a either_o have_v no_o religion_n at_o
