consider_v that_o popery_n be_v so_o long_o profess_v in_o this_o nation_n to_o that_o a_o short_a answer_n will_v serve_v that_o the_o pope_n authority_n be_v never_o establish_v here_o by_o law_n although_o he_o be_v allow_v many_o thing_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o superstition_n and_o blindness_n that_o then_o overspread_v this_o island_n yet_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n can_v never_o agree_v to_o give_v he_o any_o power_n by_o law_n nay_o when_o he_o grow_v immodest_a in_o his_o encroachment_n upon_o the_o church_n they_o make_v law_n to_o restrain_v he_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o especial_o of_o the_o lord_n that_o protect_v the_o nation_n against_o the_o pope_n but_o if_o popery_n shall_v now_o come_v in_o we_o shall_v have_v it_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n for_o it_o will_v possess_v both_o church_n and_o state_n it_o must_v have_v all_o q._n marys_n day_n be_v a_o sufficient_a warn_v what_o we_o must_v expect_v from_o a_o popish_a successor_n and_o how_o far_o their_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v rely_v on_o for_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o man_n of_o norfolk_n and_o suffolk_n it_o be_v that_o she_o do_v her_o business_n and_o what_o promise_n do_v she_o make_v to_o they_o not_o to_o make_v any_o alteration_n in_o religion_n and_o say_v many_o other_o fine_a thing_n yet_o as_o soon_o as_o she_o be_v settle_v on_o the_o throne_n the_o first_o thing_n she_o do_v be_v to_o alter_v religion_n with_o the_o great_a violence_n and_o effusion_n of_o blood_n that_o be_v possible_a and_o these_o man_n of_o suffolk_n and_o norfolk_n feel_v the_o first_o stroke_n of_o her_o hand_n and_o perhaps_o the_o great_a heat_n of_o her_o fury_n but_o i_o have_v too_o far_o digress_v from_o my_o first_o argument_n which_o be_v that_o if_o protection_n from_o the_o king_n be_v not_o give_v to_o his_o subject_n or_o obedience_n in_o the_o subject_n be_v not_o pay_v to_o the_o king_n then_o if_o one_o side_n fail_v the_o other_o be_v discharge_v and_o the_o condition_n be_v break_v the_o obligation_n be_v void_a and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o vortigern_n the_o saxon_a king_n be_v depose_v by_o his_o lord_n for_o he_o be_v grow_v too_o friendly_a to_o heugi_v the_o dane_n and_o the_o lord_n perceive_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o betray_v the_o land_n to_o he_o they_o to_o prevent_v the_o common_a destruction_n and_o because_o by_o this_o practice_n he_o have_v absolve_v they_o of_o their_o allegiance_n therefore_o they_o depose_v he_o and_o set_v up_o his_o son_n vortimer_n because_o he_o be_v a_o true_a lover_n of_o his_o country_n there_o be_v several_a other_o instance_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n which_o will_v be_v needless_a to_o be_v cite_v because_o i_o shall_v rather_o amuse_v than_o satisfy_v you_o of_o the_o truth_n shall_v i_o recount_v they_o all_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o do_v conceive_v that_o the_o king_n until_o he_o be_v crown_v be_v not_o so_o much_o king_n to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n as_o he_o be_v after_o he_o be_v crown_v for_o if_o the_o crown_n of_o the_o king_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a ceremony_n or_o compliment_n of_o state_n and_o not_o essential_a in_o give_v he_o a_o right_n to_o the_o allegiance_n of_o the_o subject_a then_o certain_o no_o king_n of_o england_n will_v be_v trouble_v with_o the_o ceremony_n of_o be_v formal_o crown_v because_o then_o there_o will_v lie_v no_o obligation_n upon_o he_o to_o take_v the_o coronation_n oath_n and_o so_o he_o may_v be_v more_o at_o liberty_n to_o act_v according_a to_o his_o will_n because_o his_o conscience_n will_v not_o be_v clog_v with_o the_o weight_n of_o so_o solemn_a a_o oath_n and_o then_o with_o less_o infamy_n and_o reflection_n he_o may_v suspend_v or_o pervert_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n i_o be_o not_o convince_v that_o the_o king_n whilst_o he_o be_v uncrowned_a have_v that_o right_n in_o our_o allegiance_n as_o he_o have_v after_o that_o the_o crown_n be_v set_v upon_o his_o head_n in_o the_o same_o way_n that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v for_o before_o the_o crown_n be_v set_v upon_o his_o head_n by_o the_o archbishop_n or_o other_o person_n appoint_v to_o do_v it_o the_o nobility_n and_o people_n be_v ask_v if_o they_o will_v do_v their_o homage_n and_o service_n to_o he_o which_o by_o the_o way_n imply_v that_o the_o people_n be_v at_o liberty_n in_o the_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o he_o be_v crown_v it_o be_v by_o their_o leave_n and_o election_n then_o if_o the_o people_n consent_n the_o king_n take_v the_o coronation_n oath_n which_o be_v to_o preserve_v the_o church_n our_o law_n liberty_n and_o property_n and_o to_o administer_v justice_n indifferent_o and_o thus_o when_o he_o have_v swear_v to_o we_o the_o crown_n be_v immediate_o put_v upon_o his_o head_n and_o then_o the_o nobility_n and_o people_n do_v their_o homage_n to_o he_o and_o according_a to_o this_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n ever_o since_o there_o be_v king_n in_o england_n and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v scarce_o a_o instance_n where_o the_o people_n ever_o swear_v to_o the_o king_n before_o be_v have_v take_v his_o oath_n to_o they_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o precedent_n it_o be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o irregular_a and_o not_o to_o be_v a_o direction_n to_o we_o for_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o such_o a_o thing_n may_v happen_v but_o however_o be_v it_o reasonable_a that_o one_o or_o two_o instance_n shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o invalid_a a_o practice_n of_o several_a hundred_o year_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o piece_n of_o nonsense_n that_o we_o shall_v adventure_v our_o religion_n and_o property_n and_o all_o we_o have_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o that_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v have_v a_o obligation_n on_o he_o to_o ruin_v or_o give_v we_o up_o to_o a_o foreigner_n and_o not_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o take_v security_n from_o he_o that_o he_o will_v defend_v and_o do_v we_o right_o before_o we_o repose_v so_o great_a a_o trust_n in_o he_o for_o otherwise_o such_o confusion_n and_o such_o contradiction_n will_v follow_v that_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v invent_v how_o to_o salve_v they_o but_o i_o acknowledge_v there_o be_v some_o instance_n where_o the_o people_n have_v swear_v to_o the_o succession_n in_o the_o life-time_n of_o the_o father_n and_o thence_o some_o do_v infer_v that_o the_o king_n be_v entitle_v to_o our_o allegiance_n before_o the_o crown_n be_v set_v on_o his_o head_n but_o this_o under_o correction_n will_v not_o hold_v for_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v but_o that_o the_o intend_a successor_n swear_v to_o they_o also_o at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a he_o do_v yet_o if_o he_o do_v not_o it_o can_v thence_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o king_n have_v right_o to_o our_o allegiance_n before_o he_o be_v crown_v for_o whenever_o it_o happen_v that_o the_o successor_n be_v swear_v to_o in_o the_o life-time_n of_o his_o father_n if_o afterward_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n he_o take_v the_o coronation_n oath_n before_o the_o people_n swear_v allegiance_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o a_o oath_n take_v to_o the_o successor_n in_o the_o life-time_n of_o his_o father_n be_v nothing_o more_o but_o a_o declare_v the_o good_a like_n they_o have_v of_o the_o successor_n and_o that_o if_o in_o case_n he_o will_v promise_v to_o defend_v they_o and_o their_o property_n when_o his_o father_n or_o predecessor_n die_v they_o will_v elect_v he_o for_o their_o king_n as_o possible_o it_o may_v now_o fall_v out_o if_o in_o case_n the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n be_v legitimate_a do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o people_n will_v be_v very_o inclinable_a to_o swear_v to_o his_o succession_n next_o after_o the_o king_n and_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v never_o find_v it_o do_v but_o when_o the_o king_n have_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n or_o out_o of_o the_o hope_n they_o have_v in_o the_o successor_n for_o english_a man_n if_o the_o king_n please_v they_o he_o may_v have_v all_o they_o have_v even_o to_o their_o skin_n as_o a_o wise_a man_n say_v if_o a_o english_a king_n will_v be_v kind_a to_o the_o people_n he_o can_v never_o want_v their_o head_n hand_n and_o purse_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o most_o peaceable_a and_o tranquil_a time_n that_o ever_o the_o land_n see_v when_o king_n and_o people_n have_v a_o mutual_a confidence_n of_o each_o other_o we_o find_v thing_n do_v by_o the_o king_n that_o be_v more_o irregular_a in_o those_o time_n of_o agreement_n than_o be_v do_v in_o time_n of_o great_a confusion_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o
soever_o a_o parliament_n be_v corrupt_v whether_o it_o be_v by_o place_n pension_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o make_v the_o member_n thereof_o to_o become_v man_n of_o dependence_n the_o next_o

this_o be_v very_o notable_a injustice_n yet_o the_o make_v havoc_n of_o charter_n be_v begin_v and_o carry_v on_o very_o far_o by_o c._n ii_o to_o which_o the_o loyalty_n that_o then_o prevail_v

into_o england_n because_o he_o that_o will_v set_v up_o aarbitrary-power_n in_o england_n must_v first_o try_v his_o hand_n upon_o ireland_n it_o have_v be_v observe_v that_o whatever_o arbitrary_a

safe_a till_o affair_n be_v put_v into_o a_o better_a posture_n there_o the_o declaration_n further_o take_v notice_n that_o k._n j._n have_v declare_v in_o scotland_n that_o all_o his_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v he_o without_o reserve_n this_o be_v the_o high_a of_o absolute_a power_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o intend_v to_o do_v no_o less_o in_o england_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o certain_a in_o humane_a affair_n than_o that_o when_o a_o k._n mis-imploys_a his_o power_n in_o one_o kingdom_n it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o inclination_n but_o of_o mean_n and_o

will_v do_v so_o in_o another_o if_o by_o some_o necessity_n he_o be_v not_o compel_v to_o do_v otherwise_o for_o c._n ii_o keep_v ireland_n without_o parliament_n and_o it_o be_v out_o of_o regard_n to_o his_o particular_a affair_n that_o he_o call_v a_o parliament_n in_o england_n for_o you_o may_v remember_v how_o quick_o he_o send_v the_o parliament_n pack_v that_o call_v he_o in_o because_o

from_o the_o people_n be_v to_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o mean_n of_o make_v know_v their_o grievance_n in_o the_o most_o humble_a and_o dutiful_a way_n that_o can_v be_v and_o put_v they_o under_o a_o necessity_n of_o do_v it_o with_o their_o sword_n in_o their_o hand_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n of_o let_v the_o k._n know_v their_o grievance_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o fit_a than_o that_o subject_n though_o never_o so_o much_o oppress_v do_v first_o make_v know_v their_o suffering_n in_o the_o humble_a and_o most_o respectful_a manner_n that_o may_v be_v and_o not_o have_v recourse_n to_o more_o compulsive_a method_n till_o no_o good_a be_v to_o be_v do_v the_o other_o way_n that_o prince_n who_o be_v unwilling_a to_o hear_v the_o complaint_n

there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o less_o a_o fearful_a expectation_n when_o the_o address_n of_o both_o or_o either_o house_n of_o parliament_n do_v meet_v with_o success_n but_o prove_v abortive_a for_o
