upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o adhere_n to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n for_o some_o who_o do_v not_o only_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v protestant_n but_o to_o be_v the_o most_o refine_a and_o reform_v protestant_n in_o the_o world_n have_v by_o those_o not_o to_o be_v parallel_v injury_n they_o have_v do_v he_o give_v he_o the_o just_a occasion_n that_o can_v be_v give_v to_o

have_v cause_v he_o to_o distaste_n the_o protestant_a religion_n so_o the_o kindness_n heap_v upon_o he_o by_o papist_n have_v be_v great_a and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o they_o have_v make_v use_n of_o both_o as_o inducement_n to_o persuade_v he_o to_o forsake_v the_o protestant_n and_o to_o embrace_v the_o popish_a religion_n you_o may_v be_v sure_o they_o have_v sufficient_o aggravate_v the_o miscarriage_n of_o those_o among_o we_o who_o murder_v his_o most_o royal_a father_n etc._n etc._n charge_v that_o and_o all_o other_o injury_n do_v he_o upon_o the_o parliament_n and_o their_o whole_a party_n though_o the_o most_o of_o they_o do_v detest_v it_o from_o their_o heart_n endeavour_v to_o prevent_v it_o and_o do_v bewail_v it_o to_o this_o day_n nay_o they_o have_v not_o be_v want_v to_o suggest_v unto_o he_o that_o the_o principle_n of_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o encourage_v subject_n to_o murder_n and_o depose_v their_o king_n this_o and_o much_o more_o doubtless_o they_o have_v suggest_v to_o he_o that_o if_o possible_a they_o may_v work_v in_o he_o a_o abhorrency_n both_o of_o protestant_n and_o of_o the_o protestant_n religion_n whilst_o no_o

stick_v to_o tell_v he_o how_o much_o they_o have_v suffer_v especial_o in_o ireland_n for_o their_o loyalty_n to_o his_o late_a majesty_n though_o the_o world_n know_v they_o be_v in_o open_a rebellion_n against_o he_o before_o the_o war_n break_v forth_o in_o england_n that_o they_o may_v at_o once_o gain_v his_o affection_n both_o to_o his_o popish_a subject_n and_o their_o religion_n and_o true_o these_o thing_n consider_v together_o with_o his_o abode_n among_o papist_n and_o his_o then_o dependence_n upon_o they_o for_o supply_v of_o personal_a want_n and_o their_o large_a promise_n of_o restore_v he_o to_o his_o just_a right_n and_o authority_n it_o be_v even_o a_o miracle_n that_o the_o temptation_n have_v not_o prevail_v upon_o he_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o question_v whether_o the_o best_a of_o we_o will_v have_v hold_v constant_a to_o our_o religion_n have_v we_o be_v under_o the_o like_a temptation_n nay_o when_o i_o consider_v upon_o how_o slight_a temptation_n seem_o the_o best_a among_o we_o have_v change_v both_o their_o principle_n and_o practice_n in_o religion_n i_o even_o conclude_v that_o if_o any_o of_o we_o have_v be_v in_o his_o majesty_n condition_n and_o if_o his_o temptation_n have_v be_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v stand_v so_o firm_a and_o unshaken_a as_o he_o have_v do_v now_o brethren_n it_o be_v either_o policy_n

best_a policy_n to_o have_v change_v his_o religion_n see_v by_o so_o do_v he_o will_v certain_o have_v obtain_v all_o possible_a assistance_n both_o from_o popish_a prince_n abroad_o and_o from_o his_o popish_a subject_n at_o home_n so_o that_o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v not_o policy_n that_o have_v preserve_v he_o and_o therefore_o 2._o it_o must_v be_v piety_n and_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n which_o have_v enable_v he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o temptation_n to_o adhere_v unto_o the_o protestant_a religion_n both_o in_o profession_n and_o practice_n and_o that_o even_o in_o those_o

pious_a prince_n be_v further_a probable_a by_o his_o desire_n whilst_o he_o be_v in_o scotland_n to_o be_v deal_v plain_o with_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o own_o personal_a sin_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o family_n which_o he_o apprehend_v be_v the_o cause_n the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v so_o heavy_a upon_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v humble_v for_o they_o in_o which_o respect_n he_o seem_v

style_v themselves_o the_o royal_a party_n doubtless_o he_o want_v not_o some_o who_o like_o rehoboam_n young_a and_o heady_a councillor_n give_v he_o advice_n to_o take_v this_o course_n and_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o some_o attempt_n have_v be_v make_v to_o this_o end_n but_o have_v find_v by_o constant_a experience_n that_o all_o endeavour_v this_o way_n have_v prove_v abortive_a and_o unsuccessfull_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o indiscretion_n of_o some_o and_o the_o treachery_n of_o other_o he_o have_v at_o last_o reject_v all_o counsel_n tend_v to_o force_n and_o violence_n and_o wise_o resolve_v upon_o a_o contrary_a course_n and_o this_o in_o a_o juncture_n of_o time_n when_o he_o have_v the_o great_a hope_n of_o assistance_n not_o only_o from_o ally_n and_o friend_n
