advantage_n of_o a_o hereditary_a monarchy_n for_o the_o royal_a family_n be_v certain_o the_o most_o noble_a a_o king_n who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o king_n to_o be_v sure_o be_v the_o son_n of_o noble_n and_o it_o be_v the_o high_a and_o great_a nobility_n of_o which_o solomon_n speak_v to_o be_v sure_a what_o he_o say_v must_v be_v eminent_o true_a of_o the_o most_o noble_a blood_n a_o king_n son_n especial_o if_o he_o descend_v from_o a_o ancient_a race_n of_o king_n have_v as_o much_o the_o advantage_n of_o inferior_a noble_n as_o they_o have_v of_o the_o gentry_n or_o the_o gentry_n of_o mean_a people_n it_o be_v royal_a blood_n which_o inspire_v a_o princely_a mind_n which_o be_v more_o noble_a still_o the_o further_o it_o be_v remove_v from_o its_o original_a i_o can_v now_o discourse_v to_o you_o concern_v the_o right_n of_o succession_n it_o seem_v most_o natural_a for_o a_o son_n to_o be_v heir_n to_o his_o father_n and_o therefore_o to_o succeed_v to_o the_o crown_n of_o which_o he_o die_v possess_v for_o power_n descend_v as_o well_o as_o a_o estate_n as_o the_o government_n of_o the_o family_n be_v the_o birthright_n of_o the_o elder_a son_n as_o his_o father_n heir_n but_o however_o that_o be_v if_o it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o happiness_n to_o a_o nation_n to_o have_v a_o king_n the_o son_n of_o noble_n there_o be_v no_o such_o way_n to_o secure_v this_o as_o by_o a_o succession_n of_o king_n of_o the_o same_o royal_a stock_n and_o family_n who_o glory_n and_o nobility_n increase_v with_o every_o succession_n and_o give_v a_o new_a greatness_n and_o authority_n to_o its_o government_n but_o to_o hasten_v to_o a_o conclusion_n the_o proper_a use_n of_o this_o discourse_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n 1._o to_o bless_v god_n for_o the_o mercy_n of_o this_o day_n 2._o to_o be_v loyal_a to_o our_o king_n 1._o to_o bless_v god_n for_o the_o mercy_n of_o this_o day_n it_o will_v be_v too_o melancholy_a a_o thought_n at_o this_o time_n to_o reflect_v on_o the_o sad_a face_n of_o thing_n in_o these_o kingdom_n when_o a_o excellent_a prince_n be_v murder_v by_o his_o own_o subject_n the_o natural_a heir_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o the_o whole_a royal_a family_n force_v into_o banishment_n the_o ancient_n and_o loyal_a nobility_n and_o gentry_n under_o imprisonment_n and_o sequestration_n the_o church_n of_o england_n rob_v of_o its_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n its_o worship_n and_o revenue_n while_o some_o mean_a and_o ignoble_a person_n trample_v upon_o crown_n and_o mitre_n enrich_v themselves_o with_o the_o spoil_n of_o church_n and_o state_n usurp_v the_o royal_a power_n but_o govern_v like_o slave_n but_o this_o bless_a day_n put_v and_o end_v to_o all_o these_o misery_n and_o confusion_n god_n by_o a_o wonderful_a providence_n restore_v to_o we_o our_o king_n and_o royal_a family_n in_o peace_n and_o triumph_n without_o the_o noise_n and_o alarm_n of_o war_n without_o draw_v the_o sword_n or_o shed_v english_a blood_n he_o be_v drive_v out_o by_o victorious_a rebel_n at_o the_o expense_n of_o a_o vast_a treasure_n and_o more_o blood_n but_o be_v invite_v home_o again_o by_o a_o weary_a and_o distract_a people_n who_o now_o feel_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o government_n of_o mean_a usurper_n and_o of_o a_o natural_a and_o high-born_a prince_n and_o thus_o the_o nation_n recover_v its_o ancient_a glory_n and_o every_o subject_a their_o just_a right_n and_o which_o be_v more_o valuable_a than_o all_o civil_a right_n the_o free_a profession_n and_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o apostolic_a church_n of_o england_n though_o some_o possible_o may_v think_v its_o too_o late_a to_o glory_v in_o this_o now_o and_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o indeed_o and_o will_v lessen_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o day_n be_v the_o most_o holy_a religion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o any_o danger_n but_o next_o to_o have_v our_o king_n of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n we_o can_v desire_v no_o more_o than_o to_o have_v a_o king_n who_o will_v defend_v it_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o primitive_a christian_n will_v have_v think_v a_o great_a blessing_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o joyful_a day_n still_o which_o bring_v back_o one_o prince_n to_o restore_v the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o another_o to_o protect_v it_o for_o far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o and_o from_o all_o loyal_a subject_n to_o distrust_v those_o solemn_a and_o repeat_v assurance_n which_o our_o king_n have_v give_v we_o of_o this_o matter_n a_o prince_n who_o mind_n be_v as_o great_a and_o noble_a as_o his_o birth_n who_o abhor_v all_o mean_a art_n and_o equivocal_a reserve_v and_o scorn_n either_o to_o dissemble_v what_o he_o believe_v himself_o or_o to_o speak_v what_o he_o do_v not_o think_v 2._o as_o for_o loyalty_n be_v it_o decent_a to_o conclude_v a_o discourse_n of_o kingly_a government_n without_o a_o exhortation_n to_o loyalty_n and_o obedience_n it_o may_v be_v very_o well_o spare_v at_o this_o time_n in_o such_o a_o presence_n who_o example_n preach_v loyalty_n to_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o run_v over_o all_o the_o topic_n of_o obedience_n but_o only_o urge_v some_o few_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o this_o argument_n and_o to_o this_o present_a solemnity_n it_o be_v a_o great_a happiness_n to_o a_o nation_n to_o have_v a_o king_n who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o noble_n this_o happiness_n we_o at_o this_o day_n enjoy_v we_o live_v under_o the_o government_n of_o a_o king_n who_o have_v royal_a blood_n in_o his_o vein_n and_o discover_v a_o great_a ●nd_n princely_a mind_n in_o all_o his_o action_n and_o this_o secure_v we_o of_o as_o much_o happiness_n as_o we_o can_v expect_v under_o any_o government_n but_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o the_o ●ise_v conduct_n of_o a_o prince_n but_o the_o governable_a temper_n of_o subject_n too_o ●hich_v be_v necessary_a to_o make_v a_o nation_n happy_a no_o government_n neither_o of_o ●od_n nor_o man_n can_v make_v those_o happy_a who_o will_v not_o be_v govern_v discontents_n and_o jealousy_n and_o sedition_n turn_v the_o court_n into_o a_o camp_n and_o exchange_v the_o civil_a government_n for_o military_a force_n and_o power_n and_o the_o ●est_n prince_n in_o the_o world_n can_v never_o govern_v to_o so_o great_a advantage_n who_o be_v ●●rced_v to_o govern_v by_o the_o sword_n but_o when_o subject_n love_v and_o reverence_n ●●eir_n king_n and_o always_o

and_o yet_o what_o misery_n and_o confusion_n do_v a_o factious_a and_o turbulent_a zeal_n create_v which_o end_v in_o as_o doleful_a a_o tragedy_n as_o ever_o the_o sun_n ●●w_o and_o when_o we_o

obedience_n be_v a_o powerful_a obligation_n on_o prince_n to_o rule_v well_o for_o prince_n must_v value_v obedience_n and_o subjection_n as_o they_o do_v their_o crown_n to_o this_o we_o owe_v the_o present_a security_n and_o protection_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o be_v like_v in_o it_o yet_o a_o generous_a prince_n can_v but_o like_v and_o reward_v its_o loyalty_n and_o it_o will_v seem_v very_o harsh_a for_o any_o prince_n to_o desire_v that_o religion_n shall_v be_v turn_v out_o of_o the_o church_n which_o secure_v he_o in_o a_o quiet_a possession_n of_o his_o throne_n and_o therefore_o to_o conclude_v i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o church_n of_o england_n loyalty_n i_o persuade_v you_o to_o this_o our_o king_n approve_v commend_v rely_v on_o as_o a_o try_a and_o experience_a loyalty_n which_o have_v suffer_v with_o its_o prince_n but_o never_o yet_o rebel_v against_o he_o a_o loyalty_n upon_o firm_a and_o steady_a principle_n and_o without_o reserve_v and_o therefore_o to_o keep_v we_o true_a to_o our_o prince_n we_o must_v be_v true_a to_o our_o church_n and_o to_o our_o religion_n it_o be_v no_o act_n of_o loyalty_n to_o accommodate_v or_o compliment_v away_o our_o religion_n and_o its_o legal_a security_n for_o if_o we_o change_v our_o religion_n we_o must_v change_v the_o principle_n of_o our_o loyalty_n too_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o king_n and_o the_o crown_n will_v gain_v nothing_o by_o that_o for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o last_a and_o immovable_a loyalty_n as_o that_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o some_o who_o be_v papist_n in_o some_o juncture_n of_o affair_n may_v and_o have_v be_v very_o loyal_a but_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o
