inconvenience_n but_o because_o the_o monarch_n be_v a_o man_n subject_n to_o error_n in_o judgement_n and_o capable_a of_o be_v bias_v in_o his_o affection_n it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o the_o commonwealth_n as_o it_o give_v he_o great_a power_n over_o they_o so_o it_o shall_v assign_v he_o also_o the_o best_a help_n for_o direct_v both_o his_o will_n and_o judgement_n the_o first_o help_n be_v law_n which_o be_v the_o rule_n both_o to_o king_n and_o people_n the_o second_o be_v certain_a council_n and_o counsellor_n with_o who_o to_o consult_v in_o matter_n of_o most_o importance_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o diet_n of_o germany_n the_o court_n of_o spain_n and_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n without_o which_o no_o matter_n of_o moment_n can_v be_v conclude_v the_o roman_n have_v their_o senate_n and_o the_o grecian_n their_o ephori_fw-la as_o we_o be_v happy_a in_o a_o limit_a monarchical_a government_n so_o it_o have_v succeed_v well_o with_o our_o king_n when_o they_o have_v have_v wise_a counselor_n and_o have_v be_v advise_v by_o their_o parliament_n in_o thing_n relate_v to_o the_o public_a good_n the_o nature_n of_o our_o parliament_n be_v explain_v in_o the_o 8._o par._n k._n ja._n 6._o act_n 2._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o by_o the_o court_n of_o parliament_n under_o god_n the_o kingdom_n have_v be_v uphold_v rebellion_n and_o traitorous_a subject_n punish_v the_o good_a and_o faithful_a preserved_n and_o maintain_v and_o the_o law_n and_o act_n of_o parliament_n by_o which_o all_o good_a man_n be_v govern_v be_v make_v and_o establish_v etc._n etc._n this_o act_n be_v make_v whilst_o our_o king_n be_v yet_o among_o ourselves_o but_o no_o soon_o do_v we_o loose_v he_o than_o we_o dwindle_v all_o of_o a_o sudden_a into_o old_a age_n and_o although_o the_o whole_a island_n have_v be_v christen_v by_o the_o name_n of_o great_a britain_n the_o english_a only_o have_v reap_v the_o honour_n and_o advantage_n of_o this_o union_n henry_n vii_o of_o england_n say_v to_o one_o of_o his_o counselor_n that_o the_o marriage_n between_o his_o daughter_n and_o our_o king_n will_v make_v scotland_n a_o accession_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n some_o way_n or_o other_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherways_o when_o our_o king_n ever_o since_o the_o union_n have_v live_v in_o england_n and_o that_o the_o english_a be_v make_v secret_a to_o our_o near_a concern_v have_v have_v the_o art_n to_o influence_n our_o counsel_n for_o their_o own_o interest_n kingdom_n be_v unite_v either_o when_o they_o become_v the_o same_o people_n in_o subjection_n such_o be_v our_o union_n with_o england_n or_o when_o they_o be_v unite_v in_o law_n and_o interest_n so_o that_o they_o become_v the_o same_o commonwealth_n one_o head_n rule_v they_o and_o all_o inferior_a member_n conspire_v for_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n the_o last_o of_o these_o union_n be_v good_a for_o both_o whereas_o the_o first_o

poor_a part_n of_o this_o island_n we_o be_v to_o enjoy_v nothing_o that_o the_o english_a may_v think_v of_o ill_a consequence_n to_o they_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o we_o shall_v prefer_v their_o interest_n or_o our_o own_o and_o sure_o a_o just_a king_n who_o be_v father_n of_o both_o country_n must_v be_v put_v to_o it_o by_o deliberate_a reflection_n upon_o the_o oath_n he_o have_v
