face_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o angel_n christ_n have_v say_v his_o church_n be_v build_v upon_o a_o rock_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v destroy_v and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o trim_v the_o business_n who_o profess_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o goodwill_n towards_o man_n lest_o it_o prove_v worse_o with_o we_o who_o have_v enjoy_v the_o

my_o former_a impression_n with_o such_o far_a reason_n as_o i_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o make_v use_n of_o in_o those_o time_n lest_o by_o endeavour_v to_o support_v i_o may_v have_v contribute_v to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o his_o royal_a highness_n who_o wisdom_n seem_v to_o be_v like_o that_o of_o noah_n who_o after_o the_o flood_n begin_v to_o abate_v do_v not_o present_o

god_n speak_v to_o he_o to_o come_v forth_o which_o he_o no_o soon_o do_v than_o immediate_o he_o be_v see_v to_o be_v upon_o his_o knee_n praise_v god_n and_o build_v a_o altar_n on_o which_o he_o

who_o have_v undertake_v these_o discourse_n under_o the_o hard_a circumstance_n imaginable_a have_v none_o to_o encourage_v i_o but_o my_o own_o observation_n and_o those_o when_o ever_o argue_v oppose_v by_o the_o multitude_n with_o the_o great_a heartburning_n and_o malice_n that_o misguide_a zeal_n can_v invent_v though_o ignorance_n and_o malice_n may_v sit_v upon_o and_o censure_v this_o treatise_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o i_o have_v sufficient_a hope_n god_n will_v put_v it_o forth_o at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o with_o the_o comment_n of_o my_o honest_a meaning_n upon_o it_o not_o torture_v and_o wire-drawn_a with_o false_a or_o ignoramus_n exposition_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o hope_v wise_a man_n will_v take_v i_o into_o their_o serious_a consideration_n and_o conclude_v what_o i_o have_v write_v be_v my_o real_a opinion_n not_o bias_v with_o flattery_n as_o some_o say_v or_o clog_v with_o hope_n of_o preferment_n as_o other_o pretend_v and_o then_o what_o the_o roman_n catholic_n or_o roundheaded_a whig_n shall_v determine_v of_o i_o whether_o as_o a_o papist_n for_o justify_v of_o the_o duke_n or_o a_o ill_a manager_n of_o my_o pen_n i_o shall_v not_o matter_n either_o or_o all_o of_o their_o condemnation_n since_o i_o see_v before_o i_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o their_o proceed_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v but_o one_o grand_a mistake_n and_o their_o counsel_n to_o be_v despise_v and_o reject_v like_o that_o of_o achitophel_n but_o as_o a_o man_n i_o wish_v they_o not_o the_o same_o fate_n and_o as_o a_o christian_a i_o hope_v they_o may_v live_v to_o make_v amends_o or_o at_o least_o repent_v of_o their_o contrivance_n that_o so_o we_o may_v at_o last_o see_v our_o weather-beaten_a government_n free_v from_o those_o storm_n and_o tempest_n that_o be_v ready_a to_o overwhelm_v it_o and_o unanimous_o magnify_v our_o god_n who_o have_v bring_v we_o into_o a_o safe_a harbour_n maugre_o all_o the_o power_n of_o outrageous_a and_o bloodthirsty_a man_n and_o now_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v upon_o this_o subject_a other_o than_o that_o no_o man_n be_v infallible_a in_o his_o opinion_n i_o shall_v humble_o beg_v that_o i_o may_v be_v receive_v by_o the_o kind_a reader_n with_o that_o candour_n as_o every_o one_o will_v expect_v to_o be_v deal_v with_o in_o the_o like_a nature_n and_o that_o every_o one_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o breast_n will_v not_o obstinate_o disbelieve_v his_o friend_n when_o in_o his_o own_o conscience_n he_o can_v find_v any_o thing_n to_o oppose_v he_o even_o in_o his_o most_o secret_a thought_n withal_o i_o be_o not_o a_o little_a anxious_a to_o think_v that_o these_o discourse_n may_v seem_v precarious_a by_o some_o as_o well_o as_o prejudicial_a by_o other_o to_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o royal_a highness_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v all_o or_o to_o escape_v without_o censure_n in_o this_o detract_n age_n though_o our_o action_n be_v regulate_v by_o the_o strict_a reason_n yet_o what_o i_o have_v say_v carry_v the_o face_n of_o so_o much_o justice_n and_o honesty_n that_o i_o will_v not_o change_v my_o opinion_n without_o great_a demonstration_n than_o i_o have_v yet_o have_v to_o the_o contrary_a however_o be_v i_o oblige_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o duke_n be_v a_o papist_n which_o no_o man_n yet_o have_v sufficient_a ground_n to_o think_v i_o hope_v i_o be_o so_o well_o satisfy_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o protestant_a religion_n that_o i_o will_v do_v every_o thing_n become_v a_o honest_a man_n and_o a_o good_a christian_a and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o shall_v never_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o which_o observation_n i_o recommend_v more_o particular_o to_o those_o who_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n finis_fw-la
