too_o great_a a_o opportunity_n to_o the_o common_a enemy_n to_o effect_v his_o will_n on_o we_o all_o i_o be_v encourage_v to_o proceed_v trust_v in_o the_o lord_n who_o have_v and_o will_v deliver_v

which_o i_o shall_v deliver_v if_o not_o in_o the_o absolute_a term_n yet_o in_o the_o genuine_a sense_n imprimis_fw-la because_o its_o possible_a yea_o and_o more_o than_o ordinary_o probable_a that_o a_o single_a person_n in_o a_o short_a time_n will_v work_v over_o his_o council_n to_o his_o own_o will_n though_o illegal_a either_o in_o confer_v place_n of_o honour_n and_o profit_n on_o they_o and_o their_o friend_n or_o else_o in_o terrify_v they_o by_o threat_n 2_o because_o that_o a_o single_a person_n be_v raise_v to_o such_o a_o state_n be_v subject_a to_o wax_v wanton_a and_o so_o forget_v or_o rather_o neglect_v the_o commonalty_n in_o provide_v for_o a_o few_o that_o will_v be_v at_o his_o beck_n ready_a to_o fulfil_v his_o pleasure_n 3_o because_o that_o notwithstanding_o for_o a_o time_n he_o may_v carry_v matter_n fair_a and_o do_v some_o good_a thing_n jehu_n like_v until_o he_o have_v get_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o people_n but_o then_o forget_v or_o rather_o slight_v what_o he_o former_o pretend_v too_o instead_o of_o countenance_v of_o justice_n and_o endeavour_v reformation_n its_o possible_a he_o may_v become_v a_o favourer_n of_o iniquity_n nay_o say_v he_o a_o settler_n of_o a_o court_n or_o nursery_n of_o whore_n rogue_n bawd_n and_o such_o like_a person_n as_o be_v evident_o see_v in_o former_a day_n at_o whitehall_n 4_o because_o if_o he_o can_v accomplish_v his_o design_n on_o his_o council_n but_o they_o discover_v his_o wickedness_n and_o abomination_n and_o oppose_v he_o on_o the_o behalf_n of_o their_o country_n he_o will_v be_v ready_a ●nd_n apt_a secret_o to_o confederate_a and_o make_v league_n with_o other_o prince_n and_o so_o let_v in_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n rather_o than_o be_v keep_v within_o the_o bound_n of_o law_n and_o justice_n as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o late_a king_n who_o have_v bring_v in_o irish_a and_o scot_n and_o also_o send_v letters-pattent_n with_o letter_n of_o credence_n to_o three_o foreign_a prince_n boswell_n by_o doctor_n duck_n major_a boswell_n invite_v they_o to_o come_v into_o england_n 5_o because_o if_o the_o chief_a governor_n king_n or_o single_a person_n shall_v become_v a_o idiot_n than_o nought_o but_o a_o continual_a charge_n upon_o the_o good_a people_n can_v be_v expect_v even_o robe_v they_o of_o their_o substance_n until_o they_o be_v make_v so_o poor_a as_o not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o oppose_v a_o enemy_n which_o so_o soon_o as_o understand_v will_v sufficient_o encourage_v a_o foreign_a enemy_n to_o make_v a_o invasion_n upon_o we_o 6_o because_o the_o government_n by_o one_o single_a person_n be_v far_o more_o chargeable_a to_o the_o people_n which_o in_o the_o lay_n aside_o of_o the_o people_n will_v soon_o become_v sensible_a by_o the_o lessen_v of_o their_o charge_n for_o that_o revenue_n which_o be_v to_o uphold_v one_o man_n and_o spend_v in_o voluptuousness_n by_o he_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o public_a treasury_n will_v help_v to_o defray_v much_o of_o the_o charge_n that_o otherwise_o must_v fall_v on_o the_o people_n nay_o say_v he_o whosoever_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o settle_v the_o government_n in_o one_o person_n will_v make_v themselves_o so_o odious_a that_o the_o people_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o knock_v they_o ot'head_o for_o when_o once_o the_o family_n of_o the_o stuart_n be_v go_v if_o you_o establish_v one_o man_n in_o the_o government_n in_o a_o little_a time_n he_o will_v become_v master_n of_o the_o nation_n treasure_n and_o at_o his_o first_o come_v to_o

good_a people_n be_v utter_o undo_v 7_o because_o the_o government_n be_v place_v in_o one_o person_n he_o will_v be_v subject_a to_o judge_v of_o himself_o as_o above_o law_n and_o without_o the_o
