most_o virtuous_a and_o fit_a person_n out_o of_o any_o family_n it_o may_v be_v hereunto_o first_o answer_v that_o in_o case_n of_o apparent_a unfitness_n in_o the_o elder_a the_o father_n who_o

that_o his_o kingdom_n and_o family_n thing_n to_o be_v suppose_v of_o more_o concern_v to_o he_o then_o any_o else_o shall_v not_o be_v hazard_v by_o any_o of_o his_o vice_n or_o indiscretion_n and_o there_o be_v not_o want_v precedent_n of_o this_o kind_n but_o to_o affirm_v that_o this_o course_n of_o election_n be_v hereby_o make_v a_o constant_a way_n of_o prevention_n of_o all_o those_o mischief_n that_o may_v come_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o evil_a governor_n be_v a_o bege_v of_o the_o question_n upon_o these_o and_o like_a supposition_n as_o first_o that_o each_o person_n have_v his_o ability_n inclination_n and_o moral_a habit_n so_o apparent_a as_o not_o to_o endanger_v those_o that_o be_v to_o make_v use_n of_o he_o through_o dissimulation_n the_o next_o be_v that_o all_o and_o each_o one_o of_o the_o elector_n to_o make_v it_o a_o free_a and_o discreet_a choice_n be_v not_o only_o endue_v with_o a_o infallibility_n for_o the_o discovery_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a in_o the_o general_n but_o also_o can_v distinguish_v and_o choose_v according_a to_o such_o particular_a virtuous_a habit_n as_o be_v most_o fit_a for_o he_o that_o be_v to_o execute_v the_o place_n of_o governor_n in_o chief_a and_o this_o as_o know_o as_o the_o carpenter_n can_v by_o sight_n tell_v the_o nature_n and_o kind_n of_o that_o wood_n he_o be_v to_o make_v use_n of_o next_o and_o beyond_o this_o again_o it_o must_v be_v presume_v that_o beside_o this_o knowledge_n there_o must_v be_v in_o all_o and_o each_o of_o the_o elector_n so_o much_o conscience_n and_o integrity_n adjoin_v as_o to_o cause_v they_o constant_o to_o choose_v each_o person_n for_o public_a regard_n sake_n only_o and_o not_o according_a to_o any_o particular_a relation_n or_o private_a like_n or_o interest_n now_o since_o upon_o the_o fail_n of_o any_o one_o of_o these_o surmise_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o constancy_n of_o their_o promise_a benefit_n must_v fail_v also_o so_o much_o more_o upon_o the_o fail_n and_o uncertainty_n of_o all_o of_o they_o as_o be_v most_o evident_a they_o do_v there_o can_v nothing_o of_o certainty_n be_v expect_v from_o this_o their_o promise_a benefit_n as_o every_o man_n in_o his_o own_o judgement_n may_v present_o conclude_v for_o first_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o fall_v out_o more_o common_a within_o our_o notice_n than_o the_o daily_a practice_n of_o the_o art_n of_o dissimulation_n even_o so_o that_o those_o that_o have_v high_a design_n and_o intention_n to_o gain_v to_o themselves_o any_o advantage_n by_o the_o overreach_v of_o other_o be_v thereby_o also_o render_v the_o most_o studious_a and_o able_a proficient_o therein_o and_o this_o most_o especial_o where_o ambition_n bear_v sway_n for_o as_o then_o the_o aim_n be_v high_a so_o be_v this_o humour_n usual_o incident_a to_o person_n of_o more_o than_o ordinary_a ability_n the_o which_o can_v again_o but_o tell_v they_o that_o as_o all_o man_n do_v submit_v to_o government_n but_o as_o out_o of_o necessity_n and_o that_o since_o we_o can_v absolute_o avoid_v the_o be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o some_o and_o so_o consequent_o of_o be_v sometime_o and_o in_o some_o thing_n restrain_v of_o our_o will_n to_o the_o end_n that_o other_o that_o will_v else_o in_o this_o time_n of_o general_a liberty_n injure_v we_o may_v thereupon_o be_v restrain_v also_o it_o come_v therefore_o to_o pass_v that_o those_o that_o be_v most_o desirous_a and_o like_a to_o prevail_v in_o the_o obtain_n of_o place_n of_o supreme_a power_n and_o command_v do_v for_o

and_o clemency_n whereby_o vulgar_o to_o please_v but_o more_o particular_o to_o ingratiate_v with_o the_o elector_n themselves_o who_o they_o know_v will_v have_v be_v absolute_o govern_v still_o have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o the_o fear_n of_o other_o they_o make_v semblance_n to_o each_o party_n and_o person_n among_o they_o of_o a_o great_a sympathy_n and_o like_n they_o have_v to_o they_o in_o their_o several_a way_n and_o opinion_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o in_o effect_n to_o persuade_v they_o that_o to_o choose_v he_o to_o be_v their_o chief_a ruler_n be_v but_o the_o same_o as_o to_o rule_v in_o chief_n themselves_o by_o his_o mean_n even_o as_o marius_n and_o silla_n as_o they_o several_o think_v they_o most_o powerful_a to_o set_v they_o up_o in_o supreme_a authority_n so_o do_v they_o several_o court_v and_o comply_v with_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o people_n or_o nobility_n and_o during_o the_o time_n that_o the_o more_o popular_a part_n do_v bear_v sway_n some_o in_o that_o state_n the_o better_a to_o ingratiate_v themselves_o and_o obtain_v their_o election_n have_v renounce_v their_o noble_a birth_n and_o quality_n and_o cause_v themselves_o to_o be_v adopt_v by_o some_o inferior_a person_n so_o that_o in_o a_o word_n as_o every_o man_n be_v to_o the_o world_n a_o dissembler_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o inward_a inclination_n and_o fault_n so_o from_o man_n of_o the_o high_a aim_n be_v practice_n of_o this_o kind_a to_o be_v most_o expect_v whereupon_o it_o must_v fall_v out_o that_o he_o that_o can_v tiberius-like_a must_v dissemble_v shall_v be_v most_o sure_o of_o this_o honour_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o it_o be_v ordinary_o a_o people_n happiness_n to_o be_v deceive_v in_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o party_n for_o the_o

will_v appear_v that_o this_o fancy_a benefit_n leave_v we_o but_o at_o as_o great_a or_o great_a uncertainty_n than_o we_o be_v before_o until_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o the_o art_n of_o

of_o more_o meek_a and_o pious_a behaviour_n so_o hard_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o discover_v and_o distinguish_v between_o those_o endowment_n and_o virtue_n which_o be_v most_o proper_a to_o

high_a and_o turbulent_a agitation_n and_o endeavour_n as_o be_v by_o some_o fiery_a spirit_n set_v on_o foot_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o very_a parliament_n you_o be_v not_o sure_a sir_n that_o

that_o high_a titule_v officer_n that_o be_v first_o trust_v will_v be_v least_o trust_v and_o so_o come_v to_o be_v low_a of_o all_o and_o by_o this_o settle_n of_o watchman_n upon_o watchman_n you_o

about_o the_o next_o election_n when_o as_o his_o heir_n may_v prove_v as_o good_a as_o another_o and_o they_o that_o will_v not_o afford_v their_o prince_n so_o much_o power_n as_o to_o be_v in_o
