sel●_z than_o by_o en●er●aining_v you_o with_o some_o passage_n here_o be_v please_v to_o know_v then_o that_o discourse_v the_o other_o day_n with_o one_o of_o the_o great_a in_o this_o kingdom_n about_o our_o affair_n of_o england_n which_o have_v so_o change_v face_n since_o i_o leave_v they_o as_o i_o shall_v hardly_o know_v they_o i_o have_v be_v so_o remote_a from_o they_o as_o the_o

none_o great_a enough_o that_o be_v not_o monstrous_a and_o that_o to_o reign_v courteous_o be_v only_o to_o reign_v at_o courtesy_n of_o other_o and_o not_o right_o understand_v that_o of_o our_o parliament_n i_o to_o rectify_v their_o understanding_n in_o either_o tell_v they_o first_o that_o the_o right_a institution_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n be_v so_o far_o diminish_v the_o royal_a authority_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o render_v it_o but_o the_o more_o absolute_a whence_o they_o be_v deceive_v who_o imagine_v the_o parliament_n there_o a_o imperious_a master_n as_o it_o be_v in_o some_o country_n or_o a_o abject_a vassal_n as_o it_o be_v in_o other_o it_o be_v rather_o in_o nature_n of_o a_o humble_a friend_n to_o advise_v and_o counsel_n as_o often_o as_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o kingdom_n good_a that_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o like_v the_o wheel_n of_o chariot_n or_o wing_n of_o bird_n look_v like_o burdensome_a when_o indeed_o they_o be_v but_o help_v to_o support_v and_o lighten_v the_o burden_n and_o one_o of_o those_o thing_n be_v the_o parliament_n of_o england_n not_o so_o much_o a_o embarasment_n to_o the_o royal_a power_n as_o a_o expediate_n and_o faciliate_n it_o not_o so_o much_o to_o limit_v the_o regal_a authority_n as_o not_o to_o leave_v it_o altogether_o limitless_a that_o its_o bound_n be_v like_o that_o of_o the_o ocean_n boundless_a but_o for_o its_o own_o conservation_n that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v all_o thing_n but_o ruin_n and_o destroy_v himself_o and_o his_o kingdom_n a_o impuissance_n so_o far_o from_o imperfection_n as_o be_v that_o of_o almighty_a god_n not_o be_v able_a to_o sin_n which_o be_v on_o the_o contrary_a one_o of_o his_o most_o godlike_a attribute_n in_o fine_a that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v one_o of_o the_o potent_a king_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n but_o with_o his_o parliament_n omnipotent_a and_o that_o without_o that_o he_o be_v but_o one_o it_o be_v true_a but_o that_o without_o he_o nothing_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o affair_n his_o religion_n have_v render_v he_o more_o intelligent_a and_o he_o can_v say_v that_o as_o it_o be_v not_o then_o when_o the_o house_n fall_v that_o the_o ruin_n begin_v but_o when_o some_o main_a pillar_n or_o foundation_n be_v neglect_v the_o want_n of_o maintain_v which_o draw_v on_o the_o ruin_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o it_o be_v not_o now_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o royal_a authority_n begin_v in_o england_n but_o then_o when_o the_o schism_n begin_v when_o that_o foundation_n of_o monarchy_n p●r_v i_o
