great_a council_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o christianity_n itself_o among_o our_o saxon_a ancestor_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o people_n have_v their_o representative_n in_o those_o assembly_n

land_v ourselves_o we_o behold_v the_o shipwreck_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o since_o notwithstanding_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o sovereign_n who_o i_o hope_v desire_v nothing_o less_o than_o the_o alteration_n or_o subversion_n of_o that_o government_n which_o as_o well_o by_o his_o coronation_n oath_n as_o by_o his_o own_o lenity_n and_o good_a nature_n he_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o preserve_v there_o be_v yet_o some_o who_o out_o of_o their_o own_o private_a end_n endeavour_v to_o remove_v our_o ancient_a landmark_n introduce_v popery_n and_o slavery_n among_o we_o since_o

upon_o which_o all_o our_o happiness_n safety_n and_o well-being_n depend_v i_o think_v no_o man_n in_o his_o sense_n but_o must_v confess_v that_o the_o right_a way_n to_o manitain_v the_o end_n be_v

who_o be_v think_v to_o have_v be_v the_o great_a statesman_n that_o ever_o this_o nation_n breed_v do_v frequent_o deliver_v as_o a_o maxim_n or_o rather_o as_o a_o prophecy_n that_o england_n can_v hardly_o be_v undo_v unless_o it_o be_v by_o she_o own_o parliament_n undoubted_o foresee_v that_o all_o other_o oppression_n as_o be_v wrought_v by_o violence_n may_v perhaps_o by_o violence_n be_v in_o time_n shake_v off_o again_o whereas_o when_o in_o a_o parliamentary_a way_n we_o be_v undo_v by_o a_o law_n that_o can_v never_o be_v reverse_v but_o by_o a_o downright_a rebellion_n because_o the_o party_n advantage_v by_o that_o law_n will_v never_o agree_v to_o the_o repeal_n of_o it_o and_o a_o rebellion_n be_v both_o so_o dangerous_a and_o of_o so_o black_a a_o character_n as_o man_n either_o rich_a or_o conscientious_a will_n hardly_o engage_v in_o it_o and_o therefore_o no_o public_a mischief_n be_v so_o irrecoverable_a as_o that_o which_o be_v grow_v into_o a_o law_n and_o that_o can_v be_v impose_v but_o by_o a_o parliament_n wherefore_o as_o we_o tender_v our_o religion_n liberty_n and_o estate_n we_o must_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v choose_v a_o good_a house_n of_o commons_o since_o there_o never_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o we_o more_o need_v man_n of_o wisdom_n courage_n and_o integrity_n who_o will_v not_o quit_v their_o duty_n either_o for_o want_v of_o consideration_n for_o favour_n reward_n or_o fear_n the_o first_o and_o second_o of_o these_o accomplishment_n i_o suspect_v not_o for_o that_o in_o such_o a_o numerous_a assembly_n there_o can_v want_v some_o wise_a bold_a man_n who_o will_v be_v able_a to_o animate_v and_o instruct_v the_o rest_n therefore_o i_o need_v only_o speak_v to_o their_o want_n of_o integrity_n or_o corruption_n from_o private_a interest_n which_o usual_o proceed_v either_o from_o fear_n of_o lose_v what_o a_o man_n now_o enjoy_v or_o hope_v of_o gain_v what_o he_o yet_o have_v not_o for_o though_o man_n may_v talk_v high_a and_o keep_v a_o great_a noise_n with_o conscience_n and_o love_n to_o their_o country_n yet_o when_o you_o understand_v mankind_n aright_o not_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v and_o ever_o will_v be_v then_o will_v you_o find_v that_o private_a interest_n be_v the_o string_n in_o the_o bear_n nose_n it_o be_v that_o which_o govern_v the_o beast_n therefore_o by_o this_o observation_n we_o may_v guess_v who_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v choose_v member_n of_o parliament_n and_o who_o be_v not_o first_o avoid_v all_o such_o as_o hold_v any_o office_n of_o
