be_v further_o clear_v by_o a_o learnede_a pen_n of_o late_a to_o which_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v two_o further_a observation_n at_o present_a one_o ancient_n the_o other_o fresh_a and_o modern_a the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o heritick_n and_o schismatic_n be_v the_o first_o that_o ever_o speak_v against_o government_n and_o withdraw_v their_o obedience_n from_o it_o among_o those_o that_o be_v call_v christian_n the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v the_o gnostic_n the_o scholar_n of_o simon_n magus_n who_o be_v express_o charge_v with_o it_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o second_o be_v the_o great_a author_n as_o well_o as_o denominator_fw-la of_o the_o donatist_n who_o i_o find_v optatus_n charge_v with_o the_o impudence_n and_o impiety_n of_o set_v up_o himself_o against_o the_o emperor_n nay_o of_o advance_v himself_o above_o he_o to_o which_o it_o be_v not_o impertinent_a to_o add_v the_o account_n that_o abbaspineus_n give_v of_o this_o matter_n in_o his_o note_n upon_o the_o three_o book_n of_o that_o reverend_a man_n when_o the_o donatist_n first_o make_v the_o schism_n and_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o church_n they_o appeal_v to_o constantine_n the_o emperor_n but_o when_o he_o favour_v not_o their_o purpose_n nor_o do_v their_o work_n than_o they_o grow_v angry_a and_o the_o cry_n be_v quid_fw-la imperatori_fw-la cum_fw-la ecclesia_fw-la as_o the_o same_o father_n tell_v we_o which_o story_n i_o can_v never_o read_v but_o i_o present_o be_o imagine_v i_o hear_v the_o story_n of_o our_o own_o schismatic_n who_o so_o exact_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o all_o other_o great_a circumstance_n of_o that_o schism_n they_o be_v wonderful_o for_o soothe_v and_o court_v king_n and_o leave_v no_o art_n untried_a to_o endear_v they_o to_o favour_n they_o but_o when_o they_o refuse_v this_o than_o they_o execrate_v and_o tumult_n against_o they_o they_o will_v petition_v most_o submissive_o and_o stuff_v their_o petition_n with_o insinuation_n of_o their_o loyalty_n and_o good_a mean_v but_o they_o follow_v the_o rejection_n of_o their_o petition_n with_o a_o remonstrance_n as_o we_o have_v see_v it_o late_o the_o modern_a or_o rather_o present_a observation_n i_o will_v make_v be_v this_o that_o not_o one_o of_o all_o the_o different_a sect_n of_o dissenter_n among_o ourselves_o at_o this_o day_n be_v right_o principled_a in_o the_o point_n of_o subjection_n to_o government_n but_o do_v open_o avow_v such_o principle_n and_o doctrine_n which_o strong_o dispose_v man_n to_o rebellion_n in_o many_o case_n i_o speak_v not_o this_o without_o observation_n and_o if_o any_o party_n find_v themselves_o aggrieve_v by_o it_o they_o may_v have_v it_o instance_a when_o they_o please_v upon_o these_o reason_n therefore_o i_o advise_v every_o man_n that_o will_v preserve_v his_o loyalty_n and_o faithfulness_n to_o his_o king_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o thing_n to_o shun_v all_o such_o place_n as_o house_n of_o infection_n and_o never_o to_o enter_v himself_o of_o these_o convention_n where_o man_n listen_v their_o name_n against_o the_o government_n and_o in_o effect_n declare_v themselves_o ready_a against_o it_o whenever_o their_o patriot_n and_o bless_a teacher_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o call_v upon_o they_o four_o and_o last_o i_o advise_v man_n to_o look_v upon_o loyalty_n and_o subjection_n as_o a_o branch_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o to_o think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o maintain_v the_o one_o upon_o the_o same_o great_a reason_n that_o they_o practise_v the_o other_o this_o be_v the_o likely_a thing_n i_o know_v of_o to_o keep_v man_n steady_a in_o their_o faithfulness_n to_o their_o king_n and_o government_n i_o do_v not_o like_a to_o hear_v man_n count_v subjection_n a_o act_n of_o supererogation_n or_o generosity_n only_o i_o like_v the_o word_n in_o no_o case_n and_o in_o this_o almost_o least_o of_o all_o let_v man_n in_o this_o but_o do_v their_o duty_n and_o i_o dare_v say_v king_n will_v desire_v no_o more_o and_o do_v what_o they_o do_v in_o a_o sense_n of_o duty_n and_o then_o there_o be_v good_a hope_n of_o they_o he_o that_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o do_v more_o than_o he_o shall_v i_o fear_v will_v sometime_o do_v less_o he_o that_o be_v loyal_a to_o his_o prince_n upon_o any_o other_o score_n but_o religion_n be_v so_o upon_o a_o accidental_a reason_n and_o such_o as_o may_v alter_v and_o so_o may_v be_v the_o contrary_a upon_o the_o same_o reason_n he_o may_v be_v so_o or_o he_o may_v be_v otherwise_o as_o these_o changeable_a reason_n such_o as_o honour_n or_o interest_n or_o fashion_v etc._n etc._n shall_v determine_v he_o when_o he_o that_o be_v this_o upon_o the_o reason_n of_o religion_n and_o conscience_n be_v fix_v and_o can_v never_o alter_v till_o he_o desert_n those_o principle_n which_o will_v always_o be_v and_o continue_v the_o same_o give_v i_o the_o man_n that_o love_v his_o king_n because_o he_o honour_n his_o god_n and_o be_v loyal_a because_o he_o be_v religious_a this_o man_n be_v steady_a and_o his_o loyalty_n impregnable_a you_o can_v never_o make_v he_o rebel_n until_o you_o convince_v he_o there_o be_v no_o god_n nor_o shake_v his_o allegiance_n until_o you_o can_v disargue_v his_o faith_n loyalty_n become_v the_o very_a nature_n and_o soul_n of_o this_o man_n but_o it_o hang_v very_o loose_o and_o uncertain_o upon_o all_o other_o and_o now_o to_o return_v to_o the_o purpose_n of_o this_o day_n and_o conclude_v with_o it_o 1._o let_v we_o first_o of_o all_o give_v god_n our_o hearty_a and_o humble_a praise_n for_o give_v we_o such_o a_o religion_n that_o we_o need_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o own_v and_o defend_v and_o set_v over_o we_o such_o a_o king_n which_o we_o need_v not_o blush_v to_o avow_v love_n and_o honour_n unto_o our_o religion_n be_v so_o holy_a and_o divine_a so_o pure_a and_o peaceable_a so_o attest_v for_o true_a by_o argument_n that_o be_v infallible_a and_o so_o adapt_v and_o contrive_v to_o all_o the_o great_a interest_n of_o man_n that_o all_o that_o oppose_v and_o speak_v against_o it_o will_v but_o gain_v to_o themselves_o the_o character_n in_o the_o text_n and_o prove_v themselves_o ignorant_a and_o foolish_a men._n our_o king_n be_v a_o prince_n who_o some_o former_a age_n will_v have_v idolise_v and_o none_o but_o very_o ill_a man_n can_v but_o love_n and_o honour_n now_o who_o judgement_n and_o insight_n into_o all_o thing_n worthy_a the_o study_n of_o man_n courtesy_n and_o affabillity_n clemency_n and_o mercy_n and_o all_o the_o instance_n of_o good_a nature_n render_v worthy_a of_o all_o mortal_a respect_n and_o honour_n be_v he_o a_o private_a man_n only_o but_o be_v a_o king_n make_v he_o worthy_a of_o that_o which_o be_v almost_o divine_a 2._o let_v we_o give_v the_o same_o god_n the_o same_o praise_n also_o for_o preserve_v both_o this_o religion_n and_o this_o prince_n to_o we_o a_o mighty_a providence_n have_v superintended_a and_o guard_v both_o and_o signallize_v itself_o in_o many_o extraordinary_a and_o almost_o miraculous_a deliverance_n of_o they_o among_o which_o this_o last_o deserve_v not_o to_o be_v think_v the_o least_o the_o serious_a observation_n of_o these_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v be_v enough_o to_o convince_v a_o atheist_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o cry_v out_o as_o the_o psalmist_n do_v very_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o consider_v how_o much_o we_o be_v interest_v in_o they_o and_o owe_v to_o they_o be_v enough_o to_o fan_v up_o our_o praise_n even_o into_o the_o flame_n of_o cherubim_n and_o to_o fill_v we_o with_o a_o joy_n too_o big_a for_o expression_n and_o to_o raise_v up_o our_o thought_n into_o rapture_n and_o amazement_n into_o extacy_n and_o wonder_n 3._o let_v this_o fresh_a deliverance_n endear_v both_o this_o religion_n and_o this_o prince_n the_o more_o to_o we_o and_o cause_v we_o to_o think_v most_o high_o of_o that_o which_o god_n delight_v to_o honour_n and_o protect_v let_v we_o entertain_v this_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a religion_n with_o the_o same_o rapturous_a joy_n and_o love_n that_o our_o forefather_n do_v after_o the_o marian_n persecution_n and_o receive_v this_o prince_n not_o only_o as_o the_o appoyntment_n and_o ordinance_n but_o as_o the_o special_a favour_n and_o gift_n of_o heaven_n as_o the_o church_n excellent_o teach_v we_o and_o with_o the_o same_o transport_v and_o loud_a joy_n that_o we_o do_v at_o his_o miraculous_a restauration_n from_o his_o long_a exile_n let_v it_o cause_v we_o to_o add_v cheerfulness_n and_o joy_n to_o our_o subjection_n and_o to_o esteem_v it_o as_o much_o our_o interest_n and_o our_o happiness_n as_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n 4._o and_o final_o let_v it_o heighten_v our_o devotion_n and_o inflame_v our_o zeal_n in_o our_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o they_o that_o religion_n may_v be_v preserve_v to_o we_o and_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o our_o child_n that_o the_o same_o circle_n of_o providence_n may_v still_o be_v over_o and_o about_o the_o head_n of_o our_o king_n and_o cause_v his_o face_n to_o shine_v in_o happiness_n and_o joy_n that_o god_n will_v follow_v he_o still_o with_o love_v kindness_n and_o blessing_n scatter_v all_o his_o enemy_n that_o delight_v in_o treason_n and_o blood_n and_o cause_v the_o crown_n upon_o his_o own_o and_o his_o lawful_a successor_n head_n still_z to_z flourish_z we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o great_o concern_v we_o see_v in_o his_o safety_n and_o to_o our_o great_a comfort_n we_o see_v god_n be_v so_o too_o oh_o let_v we_o pray_v that_o he_o will_v continue_v to_o be_v so_o that_o he_o may_v be_v still_o as_o a_o field_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v bless_v and_o that_o he_o may_v flourish_n as_o a_o tree_n which_o he_o have_v plant_v with_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o water_v with_o the_o dew_n of_o his_o own_o blessing_n under_o who_o shadow_n we_o also_o may_v rejoice_v and_o sing_v and_o to_o conclude_v let_v we_o period_n the_o service_n of_o this_o day_n and_o employ_v the_o residue_n of_o our_o life_n in_o render_v unto_o god_n that_o service_n and_o praise_n that_o belong_v unto_o god_n and_o unto_o cesar_n that_o love_n and_o honour_n that_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n that_o belong_v unto_o cesar_n which_o god_n almighty_a
