good_a subject_n and_o a_o true_a church-of_a england_n man_n do_v we_o live_v in_o the_o same_o clime_n that_o our_o ancestor_n do_v or_o do_v the_o like_a generous_a blood_n run_v in_o our_o vein_n which_o do_v in_o they_o alas_o by_o run_v counter_a to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o forefather_n we_o proclaim_v ourselves_o a_o degenerate_a issue_n and_o be_v a_o reproach_n to_o the_o memory_n of_o they_o who_o beget_v we_o and_o who_o transmit_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o english_a liberty_n down_o to_o we_o and_o as_o all_o address_n of_o this_o nature_n tend_v to_o render_v the_o king_n who_o ought_v to_o reign_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o his_o people_n the_o head_n mere_o of_o one_o part_n and_o that_o a_o very_a inconsiderable_a one_o if_o compare_v with_o the_o bulk_n of_o the_o nation_n so_o they_o only_o serve_v to_o publish_v to_o all_o the_o world_n the_o distraction_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o proclaim_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o weakness_n of_o the_o government_n what_o do_v the_o foreigner_n say_v upon_o the_o perusal_n of_o our_o gazette_n but_o that_o either_o thing_n be_v not_o manage_v in_o england_n according_a to_o the_o ●●ws_n of_o the_o constitution_n or_o that_o his_o majesty_n of_o great_a britain_n reigos_n precarious_o see_v his_o minister_n seek_v to_o support_v the_o transaction_n of_o state_n by_o court_v the_o applause_n of_o a_o few_o little_a folk_n here_o and_o there_o through_o the_o kingdom_n nor_o can_v any_o sort_n of_o man_n do_v the_o king_n a_o great_a disservice_n than_o to_o administer_v ground_n to_o our_o neighbour_n abroad_o to_o entertain_v such_o sentiment_n of_o we_o and_o our_o affair_n i_o tremble_v to_o think_v what_o the_o wise_a among_o ourselves_o say_v of_o these_o proceed_n for_o though_o all_o man_n acquit_v his_o majesty_n from_o any_o intention_n but_o what_o be_v gracious_a as_o well_o as_o just_a yet_o they_o can_v but_o judge_v that_o some_o ill_a man_n be_v by_o these_o address_n endeavour_v to_o number_v the_o people_n and_o to_o enroll_v partisan_n for_o some_o hide_a design_n but_o the_o most_o fatal_a effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o these_o address_n be_v the_o deprive_v the_o king_n of_o that_o security_n which_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o parliament_n have_v provide_v for_o his_o person_n against_o the_o papist_n for_o as_o nothing_o be_v so_o dear_a to_o a_o true_a english_a parliament_n as_o the_o life_n of_o their_o sovereign_n so_o the_o best_a expedient_a which_o our_o late_a parliament_n can_v think_v of_o to_o preserve_v his_o majesty_n from_o the_o danger_n which_o he_o be_v expose_v unto_o from_o the_o conspiracy_n of_o the_o romish_a crew_n be_v the_o propose_v a_o association_n among_o protestant_n to_o revenge_v his_o death_n and_o as_o they_o can_v entertain_v no_o friendship_n for_o the_o king_n who_o advise_v he_o to_o dissolve_v the_o parliament_n before_o that_o bill_n be_v prepare_v and_o pass_v so_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o whosoever_o countenance_v the_o abhorrence_n of_o all_o association_n do_v what_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o leave_v the_o king_n open_a and_o naked_a to_o the_o hellish_a design_n of_o the_o romish_a faction_n nor_o be_v it_o unworthy_a the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o all_o loyal_a person_n how_o they_o have_v both_o provide_v against_o the_o revenge_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o for_o their_o own_o establishment_n in_o power_n in_o case_n his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v take_v off_o for_o as_o they_o have_v exclude_v all_o endeavour_n of_o revenge_a his_o death_n by_o get_v every_o thing_n ridicule_v and_o abhor_v that_o lie_v in_o subserviency_n thereunto_o so_o they_o have_v take_v care_n for_o their_o own_o safety_n after_o the_o perpetration_n of_o such_o a_o villainy_n by_o obtain_v all_o place_n civil_a and_o military_a to_o be_v fill_v with_o such_o in_o who_o they_o may_v entire_o confide_v and_o as_o it_o be_v not_o long_o since_o the_o king_n of_o portugal_n be_v lay_v aside_o and_o confine_v to_o the_o tarcera_n so_o it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o it_o be_v effect_v without_o a_o blow_n and_o by_o this_o more_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o there_o be_v none_o in_o public_a employ_v but_o who_o be_v zealot_n for_o his_o brother_n that_o supplant_v he_o and_o step_v into_o his_o throne_n but_o be_v
