a_o second_o letter_n to_o a_o member_n of_o this_o present_a parliament_n against_o comprehension_n by_o the_o author_n of_o the_o former_a letter_n for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1668._o a_o second_o letter_n to_o a_o member_n of_o this_o present_a parliament_n sir_n i_o conceive_v a_o universal_a indulgence_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n not_o only_o to_o be_v advantageous_a to_o the_o trade_n and_o strength_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o suggestion_n of_o each_o private_a man_n breast_n as_o well_o as_o natural_a justice_n and_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o primitive_a church_n but_o it_o be_v particular_o prudential_a to_o his_o majesty_n that_o now_o reign_v for_o whatever_o some_o person_n may_v say_v all_o monarchy_n subsist_v by_o the_o counterbalance_n of_o faction_n and_o he_o who_o must_v see_v with_o other_o people_n eye_n and_o hear_v with_o their_o ear_n and_o act_n by_o their_o council_n as_o great_a monarch_n must_v always_o do_v become_v obnoxious_a and_o a_o prey_n to_o his_o follower_n and_o counsellor_n if_o they_o too_o strict_o correspond_v during_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o late_a chancellor_n how_o palpable_o be_v this_o truth_n see_v how_o do_v he_o usurp_v not_o only_o all_o power_n unto_o himself_o but_o even_o the_o ostentation_n of_o it_o and_o have_v by_o the_o uniformity_n of_o the_o church_n oblige_v to_o his_o sentiment_n the_o bishop_n how_o do_v he_o establish_v himself_o and_o separate_v the_o church_n of_o england_n from_o that_o correspondence_n which_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v with_o its_o head_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n almost_o when_o the_o bishop_n under_o queen_n elizabeth_n abandon_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o crown_n to_o pursue_v that_o of_o the_o pope_n that_o excellent_a queen_n have_v be_v deprive_v of_o all_o sovereignty_n thereupon_o have_v she_o not_o foment_v the_o puritan-party_n and_o it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o she_o be_v very_o well_o serve_v in_o her_o war_n and_o in_o her_o council_n as_o long_o as_o she_o uphold_v the_o two_o party_n of_o puritan_n and_o conformist_n in_o some_o balance_n but_o after_o that_o she_o suffer_v the_o episcopal_a party_n to_o depress_v the_o other_o and_o almost_o total_o subvert_v it_o she_o be_v neither_o well_o serve_v any_o where_o nor_o much_o regard_v her_o bishop_n forget_v their_o pastoral_a cure_n her_o clergy_n grow_v lazy_a and_o dissolute_a the_o papist_n increase_v the_o protestant_a religion_n decline_v and_o she_o live_v to_o see_v herself_o as_o little_a regard_v as_o be_v the_o decline_a sun_n whilst_o despair_n drive_v the_o puritan_n to_o court_v the_o presumptive_a heir_n and_o the_o grow_a hope_n of_o the_o papist_n direct_v they_o also_o thitherwards_o to_o secure_v their_o growth_n and_o prudence_n or_o court-subtilty_n make_v those_o into_o who_o power_n she_o have_v put_v herself_o to_o forecast_v how_o they_o may_v continue_v with_o her_o successor_n those_o dignity_n and_o emolument_n her_o favour_n have_v promote_v they_o unto_o and_o her_o indiscretion_n have_v incapacitate_v she_o of_o bestow_v upon_o other_o this_o she_o too_o late_o discover_v and_o repent_v of_o when_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o redress_v it_o albeit_o she_o have_v endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o obscure_v the_o pretence_n of_o all_o heir_n apparent_a and_o intrigue_v the_o succession_n as_o far_o as_o it_o lay_v in_o her_o power_n i_o do_v therefore_o say_v it_o be_v peculiar_o necessary_a for_o a_o monarch_n to_o establish_v his_o authority_n by_o such_o a_o balance_n of_o faction_n as_o many_o pseudo-politician_n decry_v now_o who_o little_o apprehend_v how_o undeniable_a a_o truth_n this_o be_v in_o a_o monarchy_n support_v by_o law_n and_o not_o arm_n and_o in_o which_o the_o supreme_a authority_n be_v more_o mix_v then_o in_o despotical_a government_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o last_o sort_n of_o government_n this_o course_n be_v prudential_a and_o further_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n will_v infinite_o contribute_v to_o the_o security_n of_o his_o majesty_n government_n upon_o this_o account_n the_o nation_n be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v with_o he_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o their_o acquiesce_n notwithstanding_o the_o several_a opportunity_n which_o the_o land_n of_o the_o dutch_a the_o fire_n of_o london_n and_o other_o juncture_n of_o affair_n present_v they_o with_o how_o willing_o have_v they_o pay_v their_o tax_n how_o courageous_o have_v several_a that_o be_v sectary_n fight_v against_o the_o dutch_a beside_o the_o falsehood_n and_o baseness_n of_o their_o former_a leader_n have_v make_v the_o follower_n of_o the_o several_a party_n so_o jealous_a of_o they_o that_o they_o will_v willing_o abandon_v all_o those_o suspicious_a adhaerency_n to_o live_v peaceable_o according_a to_o their_o conscience_n under_o his_o majesty_n not_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v cheat_v a_o second_o time_n by_o specious_a pretence_n and_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n evident_a to_o any_o that_o shall_v consider_v how_o the_o lead_a person_n of_o england_n have_v lose_v
