to_o bring_v about_o such_o a_o design_n as_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o by_o which_o mean_v as_o that_o paper_n have_v it_o the_o french_a king_n will_v be_v universal_a monarch_n and_o the_o king_n

between_o the_o two_o crown_n of_o england_n and_o france_n of_o a_o very_o long_o stand_v they_o be_v proof_n in_o write_v and_o under_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o who_o be_v eminent_o instrumental_a

their_o power_n over_o the_o protestant_n from_o that_o acquisition_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o come_v by_o the_o help_n of_o england_n which_o be_v a_o great_a shame_n to_o be_v say_v the_o

when_o they_o see_v they_o present_o throw_v open_v the_o gate_n and_o submit_v to_o mercy_n and_o ever_o since_o that_o the_o french_a king_n have_v be_v absolute_a over_o their_o own_o subject_n but_o i_o must_v not_o enlarge_v much_o more_o upon_o that_o head_n else_o i_o can_v tell_v of_o some_o great_a design_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n at_o the_o same_o time_n here_o at_o home_n the_o strike_v out_o of_o that_o part_n of_o the_o ancient_a oath_n in_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o be_v time_n at_o his_o coronation_n by_o archbishop_n laud_n that_o the_o king_n shall_v consent_v to_o such_o law_n as_o the_o people_n shall_v choose_v and_o instead_o of_o that_o another_o very_o unusual_a one_o insert_v save_v the_o king_n be_v prerogative-royal_a i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v a_o large_a prerogative_n as_o much_o as_o a_o good_a king_n can_v desire_v he_o have_v a_o prerogative_n to_o do_v good_a he_o be_v only_o restrain_v from_o do_v hurt_n for_o our_o law_n say_v the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n he_o have_v we_o say_v a_o prerogative_n that_o be_v part_n and_o a_o eminent_a part_n of_o the_o law_n but_o it_o be_v not_o above_o the_o law_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o of_o something_o more_o of_o that_o kind_n do_v since_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o late_a king_n james_n at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o coronation_n there_o be_v much_o more_o strike_v out_o of_o the_o coronation-oath_n which_o may_v be_v well_o worth_a the_o inquire_n how_o it_o come_v about_o but_o i_o let_v that_o pass_v i_o have_v make_v out_o to_o you_o what_o our_o great_a enemy_n design_n be_v i_o will_v now_o tell_v you_o by_o what_o mean_v he_o have_v endeavour_v to_o effect_v it_o he_o do_v first_o confederate_n with_o the_o great_a

will_v destroy_v protestant_n so_o will_v that_o confederate_a of_o his_o destroy_n and_o root_v out_o all_o christianity_n and_o yet_o must_v this_o great_a prince_n the_o french_a king_n forsooth_o be_v call_v the_o most_o christian_n king_n he_o do_v break_v through_o all_o the_o bond_n of_o religion_n morality_n and_o common_a justice_n he_o have_v open_o and_o public_o profess_v he_o will_v not_o be_v a_o slave_n to_o his_o word_n and_o oath_n he_o value_v not_o all_o the_o edict_n under_o which_o the_o poor_a protestant_n of_o france_n have_v their_o protection_n he_o do_v take_v a_o

gain_v the_o possession_n of_o it_o through_o a_o sea_n of_o blood_n he_o do_v as_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o suspect_v by_o his_o agent_n and_o minister_n corrupt_a with_o bribe_n and_o pension_n or_o at_o least_o endeavour_n to_o do_v it_o those_o that_o be_v agent_n and_o employ_v under_o his_o opposer_n to_o get_v town_n and_o fortress_n into_o his_o hand_n those_o unmanly_a ungenerous_a unprincely_a mean_n and_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v he_o to_o have_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o design_n of_o assassinate_v those_o that_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o have_v join_v with_o dealer_n in_o poison_n this_o i_o say_v we_o may_v very_o just_o suspect_v though_o we_o can_v offer_v undeniable_a proof_n of_o it_o but_o after_o all_o i_o shall_v instance_n in_o

till_o such_o a_o time_n he_o know_v when_o our_o royal_a navy_n be_v to_o be_v divide_v and_o when_o it_o be_v unite_v and_o shall_v i_o guess_v how_o he_o come_v to_o have_v such_o intelligence_n

we_o all_o know_v the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o good_a angel_n be_v minister_n of_o god_n for_o good_a to_o the_o elect._n it_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o all_o good_a man_n that_o they_o
