in_o this_o caveat_n or_o in_o the_o writer_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o upon_o the_o search_n of_o every_o period_n in_o it_o and_o every_o corner_n of_o my_o soul_n i_o shall_v be_v still_o at_o so_o great_a a_o loss_n where_o to_o find_v it_o nay_o more_o than_o that_o the_o further_a and_o the_o long_o i_o inquire_v into_o myself_o the_o strong_a be_v the_o testimony_n my_o conscience_n bear_v of_o my_o integrity_n but_o to_o approve_v my_o heart_n in_o this_o particular_a as_o well_o as_o to_o man_n as_o i_o bless_v heaven_n i_o can_v and_o do_v to_o god_n we_o will_v look_v into_o the_o coherence_n of_o this_o section_n the_o profess_a drift_n of_o it_o be_v this._n have_v in_o the_o foregoing_a section_n sober_o propose_v by_o information_n to_o give_v his_o majesty_n a_o clear_a and_o naked_a view_n of_o man_n and_o action_n for_o prevention_n of_o such_o mistake_v as_o probable_o may_v arise_v from_o false_a representation_n i_o pass_v forward_o to_o a_o caution_n lest_o we_o may_v mistake_v his_o majesty_n where_o the_o first_o page_n and_o half_a be_v a_o discourse_n upon_o the_o authority_n of_o king_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o subject_n state_v the_o power_n as_o large_a as_o majesty_n it_o self_n can_v wish_v and_o tie_v up_o the_o subject_a by_o the_o most_o strict_a and_o conscientious_a bond_n of_o duty_n apply_v all_o at_o last_o to_o the_o very_a person_n of_o our_o king_n and_o to_o his_o party_n towards_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o page_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o king_n proclamation_n against_o profane_a and_o dissolute_a person_n which_o i_o advise_v may_v not_o be_v understand_v as_o any_o sharpness_n from_o the_o king_n upon_o his_o party_n but_o as_o a_o pious_a and_o prudential_a zeal_n against_o the_o vice_n of_o blasphemy_n and_o distemper_n yet_o we_o know_v very_o well_o what_o art_n be_v use_v to_o blast_v the_o royal_a party_n with_o that_o character_n and_o that_o his_o majesty_n can_v only_o by_o report_n take_v notice_n of_o those_o liberty_n which_o no_o man_n be_v so_o shameless_a as_o to_o practice_v in_o his_o presence_n i_o come_v now_o to_o that_o passage_n which_o be_v i_o give_v to_o boast_v shall_v be_v my_o glory_n but_o as_o it_o be_v toss_v upon_o the_o tongue_n of_o fame_n it_o be_v that_o which_o i_o will_v rather_o be_v a_o beast_n then_o be_v the_o author_n of_o in_o the_o language_n of_o mistake_n it_o sound_v thus_o much_o that_o i_o shall_v undertake_v to_o question_v the_o king_n bounty_n and_o tax_v his_o sacred_a majesty_n with_o give_v away_o forty_o threescore_o thousand_o pound_n in_o a_o morning_n while_o his_o friend_n starve_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o first_o promoter_n of_o this_o calumny_n i_o shall_v be_v bold_a to_o blow_v it_o off_o and_o lay_v before_o you_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o reproach_n and_o thus_o it_o run_v in_o paraphrase_n there_o be_v say_v i_o a_o sort_n a_o people_n 29._o that_o stop_v the_o hungry_a royalist_n mouth_n with_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v not_o time_n yet_o it_o be_v time_n enough_o for_o they_o to_o beg_v though_o not_o for_o we_o even_o before_o the_o king_n himself_o be_v serve_v which_o be_v a_o little_a preposterous_a again_o i_o say_v they_o beg_v i_o do_v not_o say_v obtain_v great_a sum_n that_o be_v the_o equivalence_n which_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v grant_v it_o be_v as_o i_o say_v a_o little_a high_o but_o the_o unquestionable_a prerogative_n of_o his_o own_o freedom_n so_o i_o presume_v not_o to_o restrain_v his_o royal_a goodness_n nay_o yet_o again_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o so_o that_o the_o thing_n they_o beg_v may_v prove_v worth_a five_o time_n more_o than_o they_o pretend_v it_o be_v then_o be_v the_o king_n gift_n but_o a_o five_o part_n of_o what_o they_o get_v but_o to_o finish_v in_o this_o connexion_n of_o discourse_n the_o question_n be_v not_o what_o the_o king_n give_v nor_o what_o they_o get_v nor_o be_v his_o majesty_n accountable_a for_o their_o importunity_n but_o do_v they_o deal_v fair_o with_o we_o or_o no_o that_o be_v the_o point_n be_v it_o not_o time_n for_o we_o as_o well_o as_o they_o not_o that_o we_o murmur_v but_o they_o trifle_v we_o when_o we_o want_v bread_n we_o will_v starve_v honourable_a because_o the_o public_a weal_n will_v have_v it_o so_o yet_o still_o we_o shall_v subject_v ourselves_o to_o virtue_n not_o to_o

will_v do_v the_o king_n more_o hurt_v than_o our_o relief_n be_v worth_a wherefore_o though_o our_o necessity_n be_v great_a yet_o still_o our_o loyalty_n ought_v to_o surmount_v our_o want_n let_v we_o not_o rob_v the_o king_n of_o his_o people_n affection_n to_o fill_v our_o own_o belly_n principle_n rather_o say_v i_o let_v we_o resolve_v to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o majesty_n
