viz._n the_o honour_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o safety_n of_o government_n and_o especial_o our_o monarchy_n it_o begin_v thus_o sir_n i_o do_v wonder_v to_o find_v a_o person_n of_o your_o sense_n and_o integrity_n so_o much_o surprise_v at_o the_o report_n of_o the_o throne_n be_v declare_v vacant_a by_o the_o low_a house_n of_o the_o convention_n for_o how_o say_v you_o

involuntary_a i_o think_v our_o law_n as_o well_o as_o our_o religion_n have_v be_v against_o the_o depose_v doctrine_n therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o will_v expound_v this_o state_n riddle_n to_o i_o

nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n now_o before_o our_o author_n can_v regular_o enter_v upon_o this_o question_n he_o ought_v first_o to_o have_v consider_v what_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o force_n be_v

to_o begin_v at_o the_o right_a end_n of_o the_o question_n we_o must_v inquire_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o revolution_n who_o be_v the_o party_n concern_v how_o thing_n be_v manage_v on_o

as_o to_o the_o thing_n complain_v of_o true_a or_o false_a be_v they_o justifiable_a or_o not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n for_o if_o the_o king_n have_v do_v nothing_o which_o he_o can_v not_o
