know_v about_o which_o they_o be_v to_o advise_v and_o because_o the_o debate_n of_o a_o army_n be_v a_o tender_a nice_a point_n i_o shall_v explain_v myself_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o a_o stand_a

to_o the_o freeholder_n of_o england_n i_o beg_v they_o to_o consider_v in_o their_o choice_n of_o parliament-man_n that_o there_o may_v be_v man_n of_o estate_n and_o man_n of_o honour_n in_o the_o

of_o the_o government_n as_o papist_n be_v just_o exclude_v by_o law_n from_o come_v to_o parliament_n because_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o a_o roman_n catholic_n can_v be_v a_o proper_a person_n to_o consult_v about_o the_o interest_n of_o a_o protestant_a kingdom_n so_o it_o can_v be_v rational_a that_o he_o who_o be_v a_o declare_a friend_n to_o king_n james_n or_o his_o interest_n can_v be_v a_o proper_a person_n to_o advise_v with_o king_n william_n about_o matter_n of_o the_o high_a importance_n to_o the_o kingdom_n it_o can_v be_v rational_a that_o he_o who_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o have_v this_o nation_n return_v to_o her_o obedience_n to_o a_o popish_a king_n can_v be_v a_o proper_a person_n to_o be_v consult_v with_o in_o parliament_n about_o secure_v and_o defend_v the_o

will_v be_v proper_a to_o defend_v we_o against_o lewis_n the_o fourteen_o those_o man_n that_o drink_v health_n to_o king_n james_n and_o wish_v he_o all_o manner_n of_o prosperity_n be_v they_o fit_a man_n to_o represent_v a_o protestant_a nation_n and_o to_o advise_v a_o protestant_a prince_n for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n wherefore_o gentleman_n for_o god_n sake_n and_o for_o your_o own_o sake_n take_v heed_n and_o set_v a_o mark_n on_o such_o man_n if_o you_o choose_v man_n disaffect_v to_o the_o present_a settlement_n of_o the_o nation_n friend_n to_o the_o late_a king_n or_o to_o his_o interest_n you_o may_v be_v certain_a such_o man_n will_v pull_v back_o the_o nation_n be_v deliverance_n and_o hinder_v not_o further_a that_o unanimity_n of_o

the_o papist_n provide_v they_o keep_v the_o peace_n but_o to_o single_a such_o out_o to_o serve_v the_o nation_n in_o a_o protestant_a parliament_n and_o to_o advise_v with_o king_n william_n in_o matter_n of_o the_o high_a importance_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o preposterous_a be_v such_o a_o contradiction_n that_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v to_o it_o it_o be_v like_a go_v to_o the_o

their_o councillor_n and_o think_v to_o establish_v king_n william_n by_o king_n james_n friend_n nothing_o can_v soon_o complete_a the_o ruin_n of_o the_o kingdom_n than_o to_o fill_v the_o house_n
