he_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n a_o competent_a judge_n have_v his_o head_n full_a of_o new_a project_n and_o model_n of_o reformation_n and_o mountebank_n receipt_n and_o infallible_a medicine_n to_o

person_n never_o so_o mean_o breed_v or_o little_o verse_v in_o humane_a affair_n indeed_o this_o be_v the_o epidemical_a disease_n of_o the_o time_n and_o the_o clergy_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v too_o severe_o reprehend_v if_o they_o have_v not_o whole_o escape_v the_o general_a contagion_n but_o in_o truth_n the_o ground_n of_o all_o this_o charge_n and_o accusation_n be_v only_o this_o that_o the_o present_a clergy_n of_o england_n take_v all_o occasion_n of_o show_v their_o own_o loyalty_n and_o of_o encourage_v the_o people_n to_o the_o like_a they_o teach_v their_o hearer_n to_o be_v

now_o live_v in_o this_o be_v their_o great_a fault_n and_o crime_n and_o god_n grant_v that_o we_o may_v all_o live_v under_o this_o disgrace_n and_o die_v under_o this_o ignominy_n and_o in_o do_v this_o we_o preach_v no_o other_o doctrine_n but_o what_o our_o saviour_n and_o master_n do_v than_o be_v teach_v by_o his_o apostle_n than_o be_v practise_v by_o the_o primitive_a christian_n and_o own_a in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n never_o contradict_v but_o by_o the_o papist_n in_o order_n to_o the_o set_n up_o of_o the_o extravagant_a power_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o by_o some_o sectary_n since_o the_o reformation_n to_o make_v way_n for_o the_o pretend_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n here_o upon_o earth_n but_o especial_o maintain_v and_o defend_v in_o our_o church_n of_o england_n viz._n that_o sovereign_a prince_n be_v accountable_a to_o god_n alone_o that_o actual_a obedience_n be_v due_a to_o they_o in_o all_o thing_n honest_a and_o lawful_a and_o that_o in_o no_o case_n by_o force_n or_o violence_n we_o may_v resist_v they_o nay_o we_o affirm_v further_o with_o equal_a truth_n that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o obey_v our_o lawful_a superior_n not_o only_o for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n not_o only_o for_o convenience_n or_o out_o of_o any_o temporal_a respect_n but_o also_o out_o of_o sense_n of_o duty_n towards_o god_n who_o have_v enjoin_v it_o under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n who_o have_v invest_v sovereign_a king_n and_o prince_n with_o some_o of_o his_o own_o divine_a power_n and_o authority_n nay_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o we_o pay_v they_o all_o external_a obedience_n or_o outward_a respect_n but_o inward_a veneration_n and_o honour_n be_v due_a to_o they_o and_o that_o though_o themselves_o be_v vicious_a persen_n debauch_v in_o their_o life_n heretical_a in_o their_o opinion_n or_o tyrannical_a in_o their_o government_n yet_o we_o must_v pay_v they_o such_o inward_a respect_n and_o reverence_n as_o be_v due_a to_o their_o high_a call_v and_o that_o great_a place_n and_o character_n and_o image_n they_o bear_v here_o on_o earth_n nay_o further_o yet_o we_o must_v not_o so_o much_o as_o speak_v or_o think_v mean_o slight_o or_o rude_o of_o they_o curse_v not_o the_o king_n no_o not_o in_o thy_o thought_n much_o more_o we_o ought_v not_o upon_o any_o account_n to_o vilify_v or_o disparage_v their_o person_n or_o government_n nor_o misrepresent_v or_o carp_v at_o their_o proceed_n when_o they_o suit_v not_o with_o our_o present_a humour_n or_o understanding_n nor_o complain_v of_o or_o saucy_o inveigh_v against_o their_o administration_n nor_o do_v or_o say_v any_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o lessen_v their_o reputation_n to_o weaken_v their_o authority_n or_o to_o bring_v they_o into_o contempt_n by_o which_o mean_n they_o become_v less_o able_a to_o serve_v those_o great_a end_n for_o which_o government_n be_v institute_v we_o ought_v not_o especial_o to_o lay_v all_o miscarriage_n or_o misfortune_n of_o the_o time_n at_o their_o door_n for_o though_o king_n and_o prince_n be_v but_o man_n and_o man_n of_o the_o same_o passion_n and_o infirmity_n with_o other_o mortal_n yet_o the_o inconvenience_n and_o trouble_n that_o at_o any_o time_n arise_v in_o a_o kingdom_n do_v not_o always_o proceed_v from_o the_o unskilfulness_n or_o neglect_n of_o the_o governor_n but_o in_o a_o great_a part_n from_o the_o perverse_a and_o unmanageable_a temper_n of_o the_o people_n in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v not_o more_o our_o duty_n than_o our_o privilege_n and_o happiness_n to_o obey_v this_o be_v our_o grand_a prerogative_n not_o to_o be_v trouble_v with_o the_o care_n and_o yet_o to_o enjoy_v the_o bless_a fruit_n of_o government_n 2._o the_o next_o thing_n i_o will_v recommend_v to_o you_o be_v this_o that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v first_fw-mi and_z chief_o mind_n his_o own_o private_a duty_n that_o belong_v to_o he_o in_o that_o station_n god_n providence_n have_v place_v he_o in_o here_o and_o to_o be_v sure_a to_o amend_v and_o reform_v himself_o before_o he_o go_v about_o to_o reform_v other_o or_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o good_a order_n can_v never_o be_v preserve_v long_o without_o this_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v keep_v his_o own_o proper_a rank_n and_o follow_v his_o own_o work_n and_o calling_n and_o act_v his_o own_o part_n assign_v he_o on_o this_o great_a theatre_n of_o the_o world_n well_o and_o to_o the_o life_n leave_v public_a affair_n to_o those_o who_o have_v authority_n and_o ability_n to_o manage_v they_o thing_n sacred_a to_o those_o who_o be_v lawful_o call_v to_o administer_v they_o all_o private_a person_n keep_v within_o their_o own_o bound_n and_o do_v their_o own_o business_n they_o be_v breed_v to_o and_o fit_v for_o it_o be_v in_o all_o society_n as_o in_o a_o army_n wherein_o it_o every_o inferior_a officer_n diligent_o mind_v his_o own_o charge_n and_o every_o single_a soldier_n keep_v his_o own_o place_n

command_n then_o be_v good_a order_n and_o discipline_n maintain_v and_o such_o a_o body_n can_v be_v easy_o break_v but_o when_o every_o private_a soldier_n shall_v neglect_v his_o own_o place_n and_o duty_n to_o direct_v his_o captain_n and_o every_o captain_n think_v himself_o wise_a enough_o to_o lead_v and_o command_v the_o whole_a army_n and_o be_v advise_v his_o general_n and_o leave_v

their_o life_n to_o the_o irreparable_a loss_n of_o their_o precious_a time_n neglect_v of_o their_o trade_n and_o religious_a duty_n and_o oftentimes_o to_o the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o themselves_o
