occasion_n after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o winchester_n i_o next_o morning_n wait_v on_o the_o king_n find_v a_o remarkable_a alteration_n in_o he_o his_o majesty_n be_v sad_a uneasy_a

three_o argument_n to_o confirm_v what_o be_v before_o affirm_v 1._o it_o be_v high_o probable_a that_o dr._n gauden_n have_v the_o promise_n of_o winchester_n obtain_v by_o his_o most_o entire_a

εἰκὼν_fw-gr βασιλικὴ_n to_o which_o he_o have_v be_v not_o only_o privy_a but_o a_o party_n and_o plead_v that_o to_o obtain_v the_o favour_n of_o that_o promise_n for_o he_o because_o divers_a of_o his_o intimate_a friend_n have_v knowledge_n of_o his_o expectation_n to_o succeed_v in_o that_o see_v and_o why_o shall_v he_o abuse_v his_o best_a friend_n with_o a_o groundless_a flame_n 2._o

to_o he_o as_o have_v be_v beyond_o sea_n with_o he_o in_o his_o banishment_n why_o not_o give_v it_o present_o as_o soon_o as_o vacant_a but_o after_o some_o day_n demur_v and_o uneasiness_n till_o

i_o can_v add_v many_o more_o circumstance_n relate_v to_o this_o affair_n but_o at_o present_a forbear_n as_o judge_v they_o needless_a i_o be_o at_o length_n arrive_v at_o the_o three_o and_o last_o

neither_o enemy_n nor_o friend_n can_v do_v it_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v himself_o i_o once_o more_o desire_v he_o to_o prove_v his_o second_o proposition_n which_o he_o attempt_v thus_o not_o by_o a_o enemy_n for_o no_o enemy_n of_o the_o king_n will_v represent_v he_o so_o much_o to_o his_o advantage_n not_o by_o a_o friend_n for_o no_o friend_n of_o the_o king_n will_v write_v as_o he_o do_v of_o the_o covenant_n now_o how_o easy_o can_v i_o have_v reply_v though_o at_o present_a i_o acquiesce_v that_o dr._n gauden_n though_o now_o a_o most_o hearty_a friend_n to_o the_o king_n have_v himself_o take_v the_o covenant_n which_o we_o may_v rational_o conclude_v have_v induce_v he_o to_o write_v more_o favourable_o of_o it_o than_o any_o of_o the_o king_n party_n or_o friend_n or_o the_o king_n himself_o will_v ever_o have_v do_v 3._o three_o probable_a argument_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o chap._n 16._o and_o 24._o which_o as_o i_o show_v before_o res_n 2_o d._n dr._n gauden_n tell_v i_o be_v write_v by_o bishop_n duppa_n for_o the_o ordinance_n against_o the_o common-prayer_n and_o deny_v his_o majesty_n the_o attendance_n of_o his_o chaplain_n be_v subject_n which_o dr._n gauden_n be_v less_o concern_v to_o think_v on_o for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v he_o have_v forbear_v the_o use_n of_o the_o common-prayer_n though_o it_o be_v continue_v long_a in_o his_o church_n than_o in_o any_o thereabouts_o and_o have_v never_o be_v the_o king_n chaplain_n but_o bishop_n duppa_n have_v be_v the_o prince_n tutor_n a_o long_a time_n chaplain_n and_o a_o bishop_n be_v as_o mindful_a of_o these_o particular_n and_o as_o much_o concern_v to_o be_v so_o and_o with_o as_o great_a reason_n as_o any_o man_n live_v can_v be_v and_o therefore_o first_o desire_v dr._n gauden_n to_o write_v on_o these_o subject_n but_o after_o recall_v that_o motion_n and_o undertake_v to_o do_v it_o himself_o which_o he_o also_o perform_v as_o i_o show_v before_o and_o his_o free_a declare_v that_o he_o have_v neither_o thought_n of_o these_o subject_n nor_o write_v of_o they_o which_o it_o be_v so_o unlikely_a he_o shall_v render_v it_o very_o probable_a he_o speak_v truth_n in_o declare_v that_o he_o write_v the_o rest_n 4._o i_o meet_v with_o expression_n in_o the_o devotional_a part_n very_o frequent_o use_v by_o dr._n gauden_n in_o his_o prayer_n for_o he_o use_v conceive_v prayer_n both_o in_o his_o family_n and_o in_o public_a which_o i_o never_o hear_v from_o any_o other_o man_n and_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o observe_v that_o most_o man_n even_o in_o ordinary_a conversation_n and_o more_o especial_o in_o their_o prayer_n though_o they_o vary_v in_o their_o method_n have_v peculiar_a phrase_n and_o modes_n of_o express_v themselves_o and_o where_o we_o find_v such_o occur_v it_o be_v a_o probable_a evidence_n they_o proceed_v from_o he_o to_o who_o they_o be_v peculiar_a 5._o i_o be_o as_o sure_a as_o i_o can_v be_v of_o any_o
