be_v always_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n of_o england_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o book_n of_o homily_n wherein_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o the_o high_a power_n be_v set_v in_o authority_n

tolerable_a safety_n every_o man_n enjoy_v his_o own_o without_o government_n it_o will_v seem_v a_o unworthy_a disparagement_n and_o reflection_n upon_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n to_o have_v leave_v the_o world_n without_o any_o such_o provision_n for_o the_o quiet_a and_o security_n of_o it_o thus_o whatever_o the_o form_n of_o government_n may_v be_v which_o be_v different_a in_o

answerable_a to_o they_o for_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o which_o be_v sometime_o illustrate_v thus_o though_o the_o wife_n may_v choose_v what_o person_n she_o please_v to_o make_v her_o

the_o head_n of_o this_o late_a conspiracy_n be_v person_n infamous_a throughout_o the_o whole_a nation_n for_o their_o immorality_n and_o debauchery_n notorious_a whoremaster_n adulterer_n drunkard_n murderer_n swearer_n and_o what_o not_o now_o what_o a_o fulsome_a thing_n be_v it_o and_o to_o be_v abhor_v of_o all_o honest_a man_n to_o hear_v such_o person_n as_o these_o set_v up_o for_o the_o great_a patriot_n of_o their_o country_n and_o the_o assertor_n of_o the_o people_n right_n and_o conservator_n of_o their_o liberty_n and_o religion_n be_v man_n of_o such_o atheistical_a principle_n and_o prostitute_a conscience_n fit_a to_o be_v trust_v either_o with_o religion_n or_o our_o liberty_n or_o can_v we_o desire_v any_o great_a argument_n that_o they_o be_v move_v by_o some_o other_o

they_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o give_v vent_n to_o our_o passion_n in_o indecent_a rail_n or_o inveigh_v against_o they_o call_v in_o scripture_n blaspheme_v or_o speak_v evil_a of_o dignity_n be_v
