i_o know_v not_o how_o far_o his_o new_a principle_n have_v carry_v he_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o stop_v in_o such_o a_o course_n their_o repentance_n be_v rare_a especial_o of_o those_o who_o be_v

to_o put_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o discontent_a or_o ambitious_a man_n to_o endeavour_v to_o disgust_v the_o people_n against_o the_o government_n and_o lead_v they_o into_o a_o civil_a

and_o never_o so_o much_o as_o when_o they_o be_v cajole_v and_o tell_v fine_a story_n of_o their_o power_n paramount_n to_o all_o king_n and_o governor_n that_o it_o be_v in_o their_o hand_n to_o pull_v down_o one_o and_o set_v up_o another_o to_o bind_v their_o king_n in_o chain_n and_o root_v up_o all_o government_n at_o their_o pleasure_n for_o this_o argument_n of_o our_o author_n militate_v equal_o against_o all_o sort_n of_o government_n and_o he_o may_v appeal_v again_o to_o all_o the_o world_n state_n the_o question_n who_o shall_v be_v judge_n apply_v to_o parliament_n and_o state_n whether_o it_o be_v safe_a to_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n of_o a_o whole_a nation_n to_o determine_v concern_v the_o design_n of_o their_o governor_n whether_o parliament_n or_o state_n or_o to_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o will_n and_o conscience_n of_o the_o parliament_n or_o state_n whether_o they_o will_v destroy_v they_o and_o one_o of_o these_o be_v unavoidable_a if_o you_o say_v it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o a_o parliament_n or_o state_n shall_v design_v to_o destroy_v the_o people_n that_o be_v another_o question_n king_n compare_v with_o king_n but_o pray_v tell_v i_o will_v any_o member_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o state_n lose_v so_o much_o by_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o the_o king_n therefore_o it_o be_v less_o probable_a that_o he_o shall_v design_n its_o destruction_n than_o any_o of_o they_o there_o may_v be_v a_o equivalent_a give_v to_o any_o of_o they_o to_o betray_v and_o ruin_v his_o country_n and_o there_o be_v example_n of_o it_o in_o all_o age_n jugurtha_n bribe_v the_o whole_a senate_n of_o rome_n even_o when_o he_o be_v at_o war_n with_o they_o about_o 20_o year_n ago_o the_o french_a faction_n among_o the_o burgher_n of_o amsterdam_n be_v able_a to_o out-vote_n the_o other_o and_o some_o believe_v it_o be_v so_o still_o how_o have_v the_o alarm_n of_o french_a pensioner_n disturb_v our_o parliament_n but_o more_o that_o of_o court_n pensioner_n who_o be_v free_a to_o give_v our_o money_n the_o soon_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v but_o deaf_a to_o grievance_n and_o

whoever_o you_o make_v judge_n of_o the_o king_n design_n must_v from_o a_o strong_a reason_n be_v judge_n of_o the_o design_n of_o parliament_n and_o state_n and_o this_o will_v unhinge_v all_o
