england_n happiness_n or_o the_o only_a way_n to_o make_v a_o nation_n true_o happy_a prove_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o a_o englishman_n who_o hearty_o desire_v the_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n of_o the_o nation_n happiness_n be_v the_o one_o thing_n desire_v by_o all_o person_n and_o of_o this_o desirable_a subject_n have_v i_o now_o write_v of_o happiness_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n 1._o temporal_a happiness_n endure_v only_o for_o this_o life_n 2._o eternal_a happiness_n endure_v for_o ever_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o have_v treat_v on_o at_o this_o time_n in_o this_o shoet_n and_o this_o happiness_n be_v either_o national_a or_o personal_n the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o have_v make_v the_o subject_a of_o my_o thought_n and_o pen_n employment_n namely_o the_o only_a mean_n to_o make_v a_o kingdom_n or_o nation_n true_o happy_a in_o this_o life_n which_o be_v so_o desirable_a that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o cause_v all_o sort_n of_o person_n that_o dwell_v in_o the_o land_n high_a and_o low_a rich_a and_o poor_a to_o rejoice_v together_o this_o jewel_n if_o it_o can_v be_v find_v be_v of_o far_o great_a value_n than_o the_o philosopher_n stone_n for_o that_o inrich_v but_o very_o few_o because_o but_o few_o obtain_v it_o but_o this_o may_v enrich_v a_o whole_a nation_n at_o once_o and_o make_v their_o life_n true_o happy_a in_o this_o life_n so_o far_o as_o happiness_n be_v here_o attainable_a and_o to_o enjoy_v this_o general_a happiness_n we_o must_v do_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o find_v out_o what_o it_o be_v second_o how_o it_o may_v be_v obtain_v three_o endeavour_v to_o obtain_v it_o the_o two_o first_o of_o these_o i_o have_v undertake_v to_o do_v according_a to_o that_o measure_n of_o light_n and_o understanding_n which_o i_o have_v receive_v of_o god_n but_o the_o three_o be_v the_o work_n of_o other_o as_o well_o as_o myself_o namely_o of_o the_o whole_a nation_n in_o general_n 1._o there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o person_n of_o understanding_n to_o be_v concern_v in_o any_o business_n in_o the_o nation_n but_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v concern_v to_o get_v this_o jewel_n that_o will_v make_v the_o whole_a nation_n happy_a and_o this_o precious_a and_o desirable_a jewel_n i_o understand_v to_o be_v a_o sincere_a and_o hearty_a love_n between_o the_o ruler_n and_o the_o people_n and_o between_o all_o the_o people_n towards_o each_o other_o that_o so_o it_o may_v run_v through_o the_o nation_n from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a and_o have_v its_o fruit_n and_o effect_n in_o every_o work_n that_o be_v do_v this_o will_v cause_v the_o ruler_n to_o do_v all_o that_o lie_v in_o they_o for_o the_o safety_n comfort_n and_o prosperity_n of_o their_o subject_n and_o also_o the_o subject_n to_o do_v all_o that_o lie_v in_o they_o always_o for_o the_o comfort_n and_o well_o be_v of_o their_o ruler_n that_o as_o in_o the_o natural_a body_n the_o head_n be_v consider_v and_o find_v out_o what_o be_v most_o necessary_a for_o the_o whole_a body_n that_o it_o may_v be_v enjoy_v and_o the_o hand_n and_o foot_n be_v help_v and_o carry_v the_o head_n and_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n be_v ready_a to_o help_v and_o assist_v each_o other_o in_o their_o place_n so_o will_v it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n politic_a where_o this_o true_a and_o sincere_a love_n be_v that_o we_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o all_o person_n towards_o each_o other_o the_o ruler_n in_o such_o a_o nation_n need_v not_o fear_v any_o hurt_n or_o detriment_n from_o their_o subject_n neither_o need_v the_o subject_n fear_v any_o wrong_n from_o their_o ruler_n nor_o from_o each_o other_o as_o st._n john_n say_v 1_o joh._n 4.18_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n in_o love_n but_o

1.9_o i_o have_v compare_v thou_o to_o a_o company_n of_o horse_n in_o pharaoh_n chariot_n they_o be_v so_o unite_v together_o by_o the_o band_n of_o love_n that_o they_o be_v all_o labour_a

thus_o in_o any_o nation_n or_o people_n where_o this_o true_a and_o sincere_a love_n be_v dwell_v in_o every_o one_o it_o cause_v every_o one_o to_o have_v equal_a respect_n to_o other_o good_a as_o to_o their_o own_o and_o such_o love_n dwell_v and_o abide_v in_o every_o one_o towards_o each_o other_o have_v this_o great_a blessing_n attend_v it_o viz._n thore_fw-la be_v much_o of_o the_o
