a_o caution_n against_o tumultuous_a petition_n from_o a_o gentleman_n in_o the_o country_n to_o his_o friend_n in_o london_n decemb._n 30._o 1679._o sir_n that_o little_a discourse_n we_o have_v last_o wherein_o my_o opinion_n and_o suffrage_n be_v desire_v concern_v the_o reasonableness_n of_o general_n address_n of_o all_o the_o member_n to_o the_o head_n in_o a_o universal_a distemper_n of_o the_o body_n though_o in_o the_o humble_a dress_n of_o a_o petition_n have_v yet_o so_o mutinous_a a_o aspect_n as_o carry_v a_o prodigious_a horror_n with_o it_o and_o give_v we_o the_o prospect_n of_o that_o calamity_n disorder_n and_o confusion_n wherein_o such_o preposterous_a motion_n and_o commotion_n do_v usual_o determine_v by_o yourself_o procure_v but_o just_a judgement_n of_o a_o offend_a deity_n to_o a_o infatuate_v people_n that_o whilst_o the_o wound_n of_o a_o detestable_a rebellion_n and_o civil_a war_n be_v yet_o bleed_v be_v fierce_o prosecute_a its_o sad_a

redeem_v loyal_a royalist_n repent_v not_o of_o their_o intemperancy_n or_o at_o least_o reform_v it_o not_o neither_o the_o papist_n of_o their_o idolatry_n and_o conspiracy_n the_o presbyterian_o and_o parliamenteer_n of_o their_o murder_n sorcery_n fornication_n and_o theft_n those_o witchcraft_n of_o rebellion_n wherewith_o they_o delude_v themselves_o and_o their_o proselyte_n and_o be_v make_v mere_a property_n to_o carry_v on_o their_o malicious_a and_o ambitious_a design_n of_o the_o active_a hand_n of_o subtle_a projector_n of_o all_o faction_n and_o too_o late_o i_o fear_v we_o shall_v find_v the_o jesuit_n though_o undiscerned_a to_o be_v the_o grand_a promoter_n of_o these_o petition_n and_o what_o they_o can_v not_o effect_v as_o papist_n they_o endeavour_v doubtless_o as_o heretofore_o to_o accomplish_v by_o protestant_n presbyterian_o sow_v the_o seed_n of_o sedition_n and_o dissension_n and_o what_o these_o petitioner_n will_v be_v at_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o late_a insurrection_n and_o declaration_n of_o the_o scotch_a rebel_n timely_o suppress_v by_o divine_a providence_n so_o let_v all_o thy_o enemy_n perish_v o_o lord_n but_o let_v those_o that_o love_v thou_o be_v as_o the_o sun_n when_o he_o go_v forth_o in_o his_o might_n that_o the_o land_n may_v have_v rest_n many_o year_n now_o sir_n it_o be_v and_o be_v yet_o my_o wonder_n that_o a_o person_n of_o your_o ingenuity_n and_o part_n shall_v fall_v into_o this_o snare_n and_o be_v catch_v with_o specious_a pretence_n which_o be_v indispensable_o necessary_a to_o carry_v on_o a_o mischievous_a design_n to_o subvert_v the_o government_n which_o they_o seem_v to_o endeavour_v to_o rectify_v and_o support_v and_o with_o this_o bait_n to_o catch_v well-meaning_a man_n first_o to_o subscribe_v and_o then_o to_o pursue_v that_o engagement_n and_o what_o ere_o conduce_v to_o advancement_n or_o shall_v be_v impose_v upon_o they_o thus_o the_o protestation_n the_o forerunner_n of_o the_o late_a war_n have_v nothing_o in_o it_o but_o what_o the_o best_a protestant_n christian_n in_o the_o world_n may_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n have_v subscribe_v and_o yet_o upon_o that_o foundation_n there_o follow_v dreadful_a superstructure_n perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v the_o petition_n be_v recommend_v from_o person_n eminent_a in_o the_o nation_n patriot_n and_o assertor_n of_o the_o people_n interest_n and_o welfare_n these_o indeed_o be_v person_n privilege_v within_o door_n but_o they_o have_v no_o lawful_a authority_n when_o out_o of_o the_o house_n to_o promote_v any_o public_a petition_n neither_o be_v a_o multitude_n to_o be_v follow_v to_o do_v evil_a there_o be_v no_o less_o than_o 250_o such_o prince_n of_o the_o assembly_n famous_a in_o the_o congregation_n

affirm_v the_o fire_n be_v by_o plot_n yet_o i_o think_v few_o will_v venture_v to_o say_v the_o pestilence_n be_v a_o plot._n but_o these_o three_o prodigious_a judgement_n have_v their_o meteor_n

to_o such_o as_o be_v overbusy_a to_o censure_v or_o pry_v into_o the_o error_n of_o prince_n there_o be_v a_o notable_a example_n in_o the_o punishment_n of_o miriam_n for_o lessen_v her_o
