execution_n for_o they_o must_v intend_v either_o good_a or_o bad_a to_o we_o thereby_o and_o which_o be_v most_o likely_a i_o leave_v to_o every_o man_n to_o judge_v i_o mention_v these_o thing_n not_o that_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o any_o or_o all_o of_o they_o put_v together_o without_o some_o other_o direct_a proof_n be_v evidence_n sufficient_a to_o convict_v a_o man_n upon_o a_o trial_n for_o god_n forbid_v that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v condemn_v but_o upon_o a_o fair_a trial_n and_o clear_a evidence_n but_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o they_o do_v render_v person_n just_o suspect_v to_o be_v privy_a to_o or_o approve_v of_o the_o late_a design_n against_o this_o nation_n which_o as_o every_o honest_a man_n ought_v to_o abhor_v so_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o keep_v a_o watchful_a eye_n over_o they_o because_o i_o be_o far_o from_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n that_o they_o have_v give_v this_o design_n over_o as_o a_o lose_a game_n by_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v lay_v so_o broad_a and_o deep_a and_o so_o many_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o that_o the_o success_n of_o it_o be_v of_o the_o last_o consequence_n to_o they_o their_o only_a safety_n be_v place_v in_o it_o and_o beside_o because_o of_o the_o encouragement_n they_o do_v receive_v from_o the_o unfortunate_a division_n that_o be_v among_o we_o and_o there_o be_v yet_o another_o thing_n which_o i_o apprehend_v be_v no_o small_a cause_n of_o encouragement_n to_o they_o and_o that_o be_v the_o little_a haste_n make_v by_o the_o government_n to_o call_v they_o to_o account_v of_o all_o the_o ill_n of_o the_o two_o last_o reign_n in_o my_o opinion_n nothing_o be_v so_o treacherous_a and_o devilish_a as_o that_o of_o make_v party_n among_o we_o that_o we_o may_v become_v our_o own_o dostroyer_n for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o sure_a method_n to_o effect_v our_o destruction_n so_o if_o any_o thing_n shall_v interpose_v to_o prevent_v our_o ruin_n yet_o nothing_o be_v more_o difficult_a than_o to_o make_v up_o such_o a_o breach_n and_o therefore_o the_o best_a that_o can_v be_v hope_v for_o from_o it_o be_v to_o entail_v upon_o this_o nation_n heartburning_n and_o all_o the_o fatal_a consequence_n of_o it_o i_o have_v the_o charity_n to_o hope_v that_o many_o who_o help_v to_o carry_v on_o that_o ruinous_a design_n do_v it_o more_o out_o of_o ignorance_n than_o out_o of_o any_o ill_a intention_n i_o believe_v the_o arbitrary_a sermon_n be_v deliver_v as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n may_v draw_v in_o a_o great_a many_o unwary_a people_n other_o may_v comply_v out_o of_o hope_n of_o preferment_n or_o fear_v of_o be_v harrass_v by_o some_o powerful_a neighbour_n but_o as_o new_a light_n be_v spring_v up_o so_o i_o wish_v from_o my_o heart_n that_o man_n will_v walk_v according_o if_o any_o man_n be_v mislead_v in_o the_o late_a time_n it_o be_v not_o his_o shame_n but_o duty_n as_o a_o wise_a and_o honest_a man_n to_o repent_v of_o his_o error_n and_o forsake_v it_o for_o he_o that_o shall_v be_v convince_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o will_v persist_v in_o it_o will_v find_v very_o few_o to_o who_o his_o obstinacy_n will_v recommend_v he_o if_o any_o do_v think_v they_o be_v in_o the_o right_n when_o they_o serve_v as_o bawd_n to_o the_o arbitrary_a lust_n of_o the_o two_o late_a king_n i_o hearty_o pity_v they_o for_o their_o case_n be_v desperate_a yet_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o none_o of_o they_o will_v of_o choice_n have_v have_v such_o a_o power_n exercise_v upon_o themselves_o and_o if_o so_o they_o must_v grant_v that_o what_o they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v to_o themselves_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v or_o bring_v upon_o other_o if_o they_o adhere_v to_o what_o they_o do_v either_o out_o of_o hope_n of_o

own_o image_n but_o rather_o that_o of_o a_o ass_n or_o something_o else_o that_o be_v beneath_o a_o rational_a creature_n for_o be_v it_o not_o ridiculous_a that_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v more_o

now_o proceed_v to_o the_o particular_n of_o your_o enquiry_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v high_a treason_n of_o which_o there_o be_v several_a sort_n and_o species_n both_o at_o common-law_n and_o

the_o minister_n of_o state_n be_v concern_v in_o they_o but_o whether_o for_o any_o of_o these_o reason_n or_o other_o it_o be_v that_o we_o hear_v of_o no_o great_a prosecution_n of_o those_o

of_o a_o reasonable_a understanding_n be_v as_o capable_a of_o give_v a_o judgement_n as_o the_o minister_n of_o state_n i_o will_v not_o encourage_v any_o man_n to_o be_v over-credulous_a in_o
