but_o the_o skirt_n and_o suburb_n of_o religion_n wherein_o as_o his_o late_a majesty_n of_o renown_a memory_n observe_v as_o a_o angel_n of_o god_n a_o charitable_a counivance_n and_o christian_a

of_o virtue_n at_o any_o time_n sweeten_v by_o temporal_a reward_n and_o though_o it_o be_v suggest_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v about_o his_o majesty_n although_o we_o can_v make_v it_o

not_o one_o public_a action_n we_o do_v since_o but_o be_v capable_a of_o a_o fair_a and_o equitable_a plea_n yet_o since_o a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n and_o religion_n be_v pass_v we_o think_v it_o

shall_v be_v utter_o forget_v but_o to_o give_v our_o present_a sense_n of_o thing_n we_o can_v sincere_o profess_v that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o a_o loyal_a but_o a_o most_o affectionate_a esteem_n for_o his_o majesty_n person_n and_o government_n for_o since_o beside_o the_o general_a obligation_n of_o subject_n we_o be_v bind_v by_o our_o religion_n to_o prize_v gratitude_n above_o all_o

all_o acknowledge_v that_o his_o majesty_n personal_a and_o passionate_a interposing_n do_v confirm_v our_o indemnity_n and_o his_o most_o pious_a and_o unequalled_a declaration_n have_v

instance_n that_o can_v be_v wrest_v to_o the_o disparagement_n of_o his_o majesty_n royal_a authority_n and_o government_n we_o entreat_v the_o world_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o we_o do_v hereby_o utter_o disow_v it_o as_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o our_o profess_a principle_n which_o lead_v we_o to_o no_o one_o point_n of_o outward_a practice_n more_o strict_o and_o powerful_o then_o a_o exact_a and_o punctual_a obedience_n to_o his_o majesty_n command_n and_o a_o cheerful_a submission_n to_o his_o authority_n and_o once_o for_o all_o now_o it_o have_v please_v his_o majesty_n to_o

with_o silence_n for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o active_a disobedience_n which_o be_v to_o resist_v so_o there_o be_v a_o passive_a disobedience_n that_o be_v to_o repine_v neither_o of_o which_o can_v we_o by_o any_o mean_n approve_v of_o since_o whatever_o we_o can_v conscientious_o do_v we_o think_v ourselves_o oblige_v to_o suffer_v for_o with_o as_o much_o joy_n and_o with_o as_o little_a resistance_n as_o if_o any_o other_o act_n of_o obedience_n be_v call_v for_o from_o we_o we_o may_v perhaps_o be_v too_o partial_a to_o ourselves_o but_o certain_o in_o general_n we_o may_v pronounce_v that_o whoever_o be_v of_o this_o temper_n whatever_o his_o judgement_n be_v as_o touch_v thing_n indifferent_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n yet_o he_o can_v be_v suppose_v incompatible_a with_o way_n of_o public_a safety_n and_o over_o and_o above_o all_o we_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o be_v dangerous_a to_o this_o government_n but_o by_o our_o representative_n in_o parliament_n who_o

considerable_a part_n of_o the_o treasure_n of_o this_o land_n for_o we_o be_v a_o people_n that_o improve_v our_o time_n and_o follow_v our_o business_n as_o who_o strict_a profession_n forbid_v we_o those_o excess_n which_o swallow_v up_o other_o man_n time_n and_o estate_n hound_n hawk_n game_n wine_n women_z play_n and_o other_o vanity_n have_v neither_o our_o thought_n nor_o our_o purse_n

yet_o out_o of_o what_o we_o have_v be_v we_o ready_a upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o assist_v his_o majesty_n and_o support_v his_o government_n yea_o if_o as_o some_o will_v have_v it_o shall_v please_v his_o majesty_n to_o impose_v upon_o we_o a_o levy_n for_o our_o former_a miscarriage_n his_o indulgence_n to_o we_o and_o for_o the_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n we_o enjoy_v under_o he_o it_o shall_v be_v part_v with_o as_o cheerful_o as_o ever_o we_o part_v with_o money_n in_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o late_a trouble_n neither_o will_v we_o so_o anxious_o look_v upon_o what_o be_v go_v

place_n about_o the_o king_n and_o indeed_o we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o expiate_v former_a transgression_n against_o his_o late_a majesty_n but_o by_o endeavour_v to_o be_v as_o capable_a as_o we_o can_v to_o serve_v his_o son_n among_o our_o many_o fail_n we_o hope_v this_o will_v have_v be_v none_o that_o we_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o get_v into_o his_o majesty_n service_n no_o place_n escape_v
