A40416	The freeholders choice, or, A letter of advice concerning elections		1679 (1679)	Wing F2114; ESTC R21303	2,655	6

the_o freeholders_n choice_n or_o a_o letter_n of_o advice_n concern_v election_n sir_n i_o receive_v you_o of_o the_o 12_o instant_a and_o be_o full_o of_o your_o mind_n that_o if_o our_o representative_n can_v be_v suffer_v to_o make_v law_n to_o regulate_v election_n we_o must_v supply_v that_o defect_n by_o some_o contract_n among_o ourselves_o whereby_o all_o unnecessary_a charge_n may_v be_v prevent_v as_o of_o late_a have_v be_v do_v in_o most_o county_n in_o the_o case_n of_o sheriff_n for_o otherwise_o the_o present_a design_n of_o such_o frequent_a change_n of_o parliament_n may_v prove_v as_o pernicious_a to_o the_o people_n interest_n as_o the_o perpetuate_n of_o one_o our_o grandee_n do_v now_o see_v that_o they_o do_v outshoot_v themselves_o and_o be_v full_a of_o repentance_n for_o their_o rash_a and_o hasty_a dissolution_n of_o the_o late_a odious_a overlong_a parliament_n and_o be_v therefore_o attempt_v to_o retrieve_v that_o error_n by_o tire_v out_o the_o people_n with_o frequent_a change_n till_o they_o can_v get_v another_o for_o their_o tooth_n as_o managable_a and_o mercenary_a as_o the_o former_a and_o therefore_o to_o obviate_v this_o mischief_n we_o must_v make_v election_n easy_a both_o to_o the_o chooser_n and_o the_o choose_a to_o consider_v of_o which_o as_o also_o to_o contrive_v the_o management_n at_o a_o public_a charge_n of_o all_o abuse_n by_o mayor_n bailiff_n and_o sheriff_n in_o make_v double_a and_o false_a return_v and_o all_o other_o undue_a and_o illegal_a practice_n i_o shall_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o gentleman_n in_o these_o part_n give_v you_o the_o meeting_n you_o desire_v i_o find_v all_o person_n very_o forward_o to_o countenance_v this_o public_a work_n except_o the_o high-flown_a ritualist_n and_o ceremony-monger_n of_o the_o clergy_n who_o be_v in_o the_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o people_n lay_v out_o themselves_o to_o accommodate_v their_o master_n with_o the_o very_a villain_n that_o can_v be_v pick_v up_o in_o all_o the_o country_n that_o so_o we_o may_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n again_o of_o as_o treacherous_a and_o lewd_a a_o parliament_n as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o folly_n of_o man_n have_v most_o miraculous_o free_v we_o from_o to_o which_o end_n they_o traduce_v all_o worthy_a man_n for_o fanatic_n schismatic_n or_o favourer_n of_o they_o nay_o do_v but_o pitch_v upon_o a_o gentleman_n that_o believe_v it_o his_o duty_n to_o serve_v his_o god_n his_o king_n and_o country_n faithful_o they_o cry_v he_o down_o as_o a_o person_n dangerous_a and_o disaffect_v to_o the_o government_n think_v hereby_o to_o scare_v the_o people_n from_o the_o freedom_n of_o their_o choice_n and_o then_o impose_v their_o hare-brained_a journeyman_n and_o half-witted_a fob_n upon_o they_o wherefore_o i_o think_v it_o no_o less_o than_o a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o we_o in_o this_o time_n of_o public_a danger_n to_o expose_v these_o blind_a leader_n of_o the_o blind_a with_o their_o design_a conspiracy_n to_o the_o people_n view_n and_o to_o wipe_v off_o that_o little_a paint_n that_o be_v upon_o they_o that_o the_o whole_a nation_n see_v they_o in_o their_o proper_a colour_n may_v have_v that_o contempt_n and_o scorn_n for_o they_o which_o they_o deserve_v for_o as_o no_o love_n nor_o kindness_n from_o christian_n can_v be_v too_o much_o to_o such_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o shall_v diligent_o and_o faithful_o discharge_v their_o duty_n without_o officious_o involve_v and_o turmoil_a themselves_o in_o secular_a affair_n so_o when_o they_o shall_v desert_v their_o own_o station_n and_o prove_v curse_a instrument_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o manager_n of_o cruelty_n rapine_n and_o oppression_n of_o a_o people_n instead_o of_o preach_v up_o the_o good_a tiding_n of_o peace_n and_o happiness_n to_o mankind_n they_o then_o become_v a_o den_n of_o thief_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v esteem_v by_o all_o lover_n of_o their_o country_n as_o unnatural_a and_o public_a disturber_n of_o its_o peace_n and_o welfare_n by_o their_o office_n indeed_o they_o be_v the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o have_v lose_v their_o savour_n they_o be_v thenceforth_o good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o tread_v under_o foot_n of_o man_n as_o our_o saviour_n teach_v for_o pray_v now_o because_o we_o ought_v to_o honour_n and_o most_o tender_o affect_v those_o that_o lay_v out_o themselves_o and_o talent_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v bear_v the_o same_o respect_n to_o such_o as_o endeavour_v the_o destruction_n of_o our_o body_n and_o estate_n god_n forbid_v that_o so_o brutal_a a_o inference_n shall_v infect_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n a_o good_a physician_n that_o administer_v wholesome_a and_o find_v medicine_n aught_o to_o be_v reward_v but_o a_o ignorant_a or_o knavish_a quack_n that_o give_v we_o poison_v instead_o of_o

slave_n to_o their_o prince_n and_o prince_n slave_n to_o themselves_o these_o traditor_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v desert_v the_o plain_a path_n of_o righteousness_n and_o betake_v themselves_o to_o a_o serpentine_a course_n of_o creep_v into_o court_n and_o there_o have_v create_v and_o foment_v misunderstanding_n and_o jealousy_n betwixt_o governing-power_n and_o their_o subject_n that_o

who_o in_o all_o age_n have_v endeavour_v to_o corrupt_v and_o stain_v the_o generous_a mind_n of_o prince_n with_o arbitrary_a and_o unmanly_a maxim_n of_o government_n and_o state_n and_o have_v

england_n for_o when_o his_o majesty_n not_o long_o since_o attempt_v to_o follow_v his_o own_o inclination_n and_o emit_v a_o declaration_n of_o indulgence_n to_o tender_a conscience_n the_o whole_a

the_o late_a honourable_a parliament_n nay_o they_o begin_v to_o stand_v upon_o their_o term_n and_o deliver_v it_o out_o as_o orthodox_n doctrine_n that_o the_o king_n be_v to_o act_n according_a to_o law_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o suspend_v a_o penal_a statute_n that_o the_o subject_n obedience_n be_v a_o legal_a obedience_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o king_n command_v any_o thing_n

but_o wherefore_o be_v all_o this_o wrath_n and_o all_o this_o doctrine_n mere_o because_o his_o majesty_n be_v please_v for_o a_o time_n to_o remove_v the_o sore_a back_n of_o dissenter_n from_o

gospel-truth_n with_o these_o man_n that_o all_o which_o we_o have_v be_v the_o king_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v command_v our_o estate_n our_o wife_n and_o child_n yea_o and_o our_o religion_n too_o
