government_n in_o those_o that_o have_v the_o possession_n of_o the_o militia_n it_o be_v better_a both_o for_o defence_n and_o offence_n that_o the_o general_n and_o civil_a magistrate_n shall_v be_v all_o one_o than_o that_o a_o gallant_a army_n and_o nation_n shall_v be_v ruin_v as_o hannibal_n and_o his_o carthaginian_n be_v by_o the_o delatory_a and_o malicious_a practice_n of_o hanno_n a_o

for_o it_o i_o shall_v propose_v to_o your_o highness_n to_o have_v all_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n above_o the_o degree_n of_o captain_n to_o have_v vote_n in_o your_o highness_n council_n of_o state_n at_o those_o time_n that_o they_o be_v free_a from_o their_o more_o urgent_a employment_n in_o the_o field_n so_o will_v each_o soldier_n of_o the_o army_n be_v sure_a to_o endeavour_v by_o

objection_n they_o have_v against_o it_o and_o if_o the_o parliament_n and_o army_n shall_v join_v in_o a_o petition_n to_o this_o purpose_n i_o presume_v you_o will_v not_o deny_v it_o and_o it_o be_v better_a to_o offer_v at_o act_n of_o grace_n before_o they_o be_v ask_v last_o if_o my_o reason_n for_o a_o hereditary_a monarchy_n be_v satisfactory_a i_o most_o humble_o beseech_v your_o highness_n and_o council_n to_o consider_v whether_o the_o establishment_n of_o the_o succession_n after_o your_o highness_n in_o a_o usurp_a line_n will_v not_o expose_v the_o nation_n to_o all_o the_o misery_n i_o have_v mention_v in_o a_o elective_a government_n and_o if_o this_o be_v doubt_v be_v please_v to_o look_v over_o our_o own_o chronicle_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v variety_n of_o example_n without_o go_v further_o than_o the_o time_n of_o the_o conquest_n for_o first_o harrold_n by_o his_o usurpation_n encourage_v and_o occasion_v the_o conquest_n of_o england_n then_o be_v there_o another_o deluge_n of_o blood_n occasion_v by_o the_o usurpation_n of_o henry_n the_o first_o and_o again_o what_o slaughter_n and_o rapine_n do_v this_o miserable_a nation_n endure_v by_o the_o unjust_a ambition_n of_o king_n stephen_n in_o detain_v the_o crown_n from_o maud_n the_o empress_n which_o fire_n can_v not_o be_v quench_v but_o by_o the_o succession_n of_o her_o son_n the_o right_a heir_n which_o be_v at_o last_o agree_v to_o by_o king_n stephen_n but_o to_o come_v near_a home_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o henry_n the_o four_o see_v his_o country_n bleed_v in_o his_o life-time_n for_o his_o usurpation_n though_o he_o come_v in_o with_o the_o general_a good_a like_n of_o the_o people_n and_o think_v he_o ha●_n secure_v himself_o by_o the_o king_n murder_n but_o though_o his_o industry_n secure_v the_o crown_n to_o his_o son_n yet_o be_v his_o son_n death_n conspire_v by_o his_o principal_a friend_n just_a as_o he_o be_v set_v out_o for_o the_o invasion_n of_o france_n but_o that_o conspiracy_n be_v detect_v he_o by_o his_o unparalleled_a virtue_n and_o success_n and_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o true_a heir_n avoid_v during_o his_o short_a life_n any_o storm_n at_o home_n but_o they_o fall_v most_o heavy_o upon_o our_o flourish_a country_n in_o his_o successor_n henry_n the_o sixth_n time_n who_o can_v never_o have_v lose_v the_o crown_n by_o his_o weakness_n if_o his_o title_n have_v be_v good_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o notable_a contention_n between_o he_o and_o edward_n the_o four_o but_o between_o they_o be_v many_o thousand_o of_o orphan_n and_o widow_n leave_v weep_v over_o their_o own_o and_o their_o country_n desolate_a and_o bloody_a ruin_n and_o at_o last_o the_o ambition_n of_o henry_n the_o four_o be_v just_o punish_v in_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o grandchild_n and_o a_o hateful_a memory_n for_o his_o unjust_a ambition_n and_o the_o sad_a consequence_n of_o it_o but_o if_o these_o example_n do_v not_o sufficient_o convince_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n do_v for_o there_o will_v always_o be_v a_o conscientious_a and_o a_o necessitous_a party_n for_o the_o true_a heir_n in_o any_o nation_n against_o a_o usurper_n beside_o malcontent_n which_o be_v still_o the_o great_a number_n because_o many_o must_v necessary_o be_v injure_v and_o more_o unrewarded_a that_o think_v they_o deserve_v it_o and_o even_o all_o man_n that_o be_v unconcern_v will_v be_v for_o the_o true_a heir_n and_o be_v pretend_a lover_n of_o justice_n and_o with_o much_o reason_n must_v hate_v precedent_n of_o wrong_n lest_o they_o shall_v time_n other_o time_n suffer_v it_o and_o so_o i_o may_v conclude_v we_o be_v as_o certain_a of_o a_o civil_a war_n from_o a_o unjust_a succession_n as_o from_o a_o elective_a government_n and_o the_o incomparable_a misery_n and_o ill_a consequence_n of_o that_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v though_o our_o own_o experience_n may_v partly_o have_v save_v i_o the_o labour_n

of_o the_o generalship_n do_v silence_v the_o ambitious_a pretence_n of_o any_o competitor_n in_o your_o election_n yet_o we_o must_v no_o more_o look_v for_o a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o equal_n after_o your_o highness_n for_o the_o most_o eminent_a sort_n of_o man_n be_v as_o near_o of_o a_o size_n in_o wit_n and_o courage_n as_o they_o be_v in_o stature_n and_o as_o they_o be_v equal_n in_o

of_o calamity_n that_o swallow_v up_o all_o the_o stream_n of_o other_o petty_a tyranny_n as_o not_o worth_a a_o name_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o ruinous_a inundation_n of_o that_o many_o head_a

of_o every_o protector_n be_v as_o certain_a as_o that_o all_o man_n whether_o honest_a or_o dishonest_a have_v natural_o a_o ambition_n to_o get_v as_o much_o power_n as_o they_o can_v to_o oblige_v

the_o confidence_n they_o have_v of_o themselves_o of_o excel_v other_o in_o good_a government_n but_o that_o those_o gallant_a man_n who_o run_v so_o many_o hazard_n to_o build_v up_o your_o

a_o time_n of_o liberty_n if_o then_o the_o public_a peace_n be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o all_o government_n those_o form_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o worst_a which_o be_v most_o subject_a to_o decline_v to_o faction_n though_o they_o do_v not_o immediate_o do_v so_o and_o of_o monarchy_n no_o doubt_n but_o the_o elective_a be_v most_o liable_a to_o this_o confusion_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o folly_n of_o a_o weak_a hereditary_a king_n may_v introduce_v the_o same_o inconvenience_n i_o shall_v first_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v seldom_o such_o a_o king_n for_o their_o extraordinary_a education_n make_v they_o know_v man_n if_o it_o find_v they_o not_o such_o but_o if_o he_o be_v a_o fool_n or_o coward_n he_o have_v subject_n under_o he_o fit_a to_o

be_v a_o child_n his_o minority_n most_o common_o prove_v peaceable_a if_o his_o title_n be_v unquestionable_a but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v he_o may_v prove_v a_o tyrant_n and_o that_o i_o must_v confess_v but_o so_o may_v a_o elective_a monarch_n though_o he_o seem_v a_o lamb_n at_o his_o first_o entry_n i_o be_o sure_a he_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o be_v so_o because_o he_o have_v more_o of_o his_o equal_n or_o superior_n in_o birth_n to_o fear_v and_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o other_o difference_n of_o these_o two_o kind_n of_o king_n we_o shall_v find_v the_o elective_a king_n more_o

hungry_a prince_n with_o his_o necessitous_a kindred_n and_o dependent_n so_o that_o i_o must_v conclude_v that_o every_o election_n do_v certain_o threaten_v the_o worst_a of_o evil_n and_o that_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o a_o succession_n be_v far_o less_o and_o do_v very_o seldom_o happen_v by_o the_o concurrent_n of_o many_o ill_a accident_n together_o and_o i_o think_v this_o may_v serve_v
