of_o the_o sermon_n of_o that_o day_n and_o by_o this_o time_n you_o may_v see_v through_o the_o mystery_n it_o be_v a_o seasonable_a doctrine_n and_o design_v as_o a_o document_n or_o admonition_n to_o princess_n ann_n or_o at_o least_o to_o the_o people_n concern_v she_o for_o sir_n you_o know_v that_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o nine_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n she_o have_v a_o better_a

the_o determination_n of_o a_o english_a parliament_n and_o the_o concurrence_n of_o all_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v understand_v these_o gentleman_n right_a you_o must_v interpret_v they_o in_o this_o manner_n madam_n your_o sister_n have_v great_a grief_n when_o she_o take_v the_o throne_n and_o have_v no_o will_n to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o very_o reputable_a neither_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v far_o better_a for_o you_o to_o consult_v your_o own_o credit_n and_o ease_n than_o to_o raise_v any_o pretension_n which_o will_v only_o multiply_v your_o

and_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o another_o and_o therefore_o you_o can_v have_v no_o such_o pretence_n furthermore_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o your_o brother_n may_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o marry_v and_o this_o may_v spoil_v his_o fortune_n and_o therefore_o most_o certain_o it_o be_v grief_n unwillingness_n and_o hazard_v her_o good_a name_n in_o the_o world_n and_o who_o that_o be_v not_o abandon_v to_o the_o utmost_a neglect_n of_o themselves_o will_v in_o such_o a_o case_n meddle_v with_o such_o sorrowful_a and_o hazardous_a thing_n and_o thus_o sir_n you_o have_v the_o

discredit_v from_o whence_o you_o plain_o see_v what_o good_a friend_n these_o gentleman_n be_v to_o the_o old_a english_a monarchy_n for_o most_o certain_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o abdication_n with_o

plain_a consequence_n of_o this_o hypothesis_n be_v that_o by_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o english_a monarchy_n she_o ascend_v the_o throne_n in_o her_o own_o right_n and_o her_o husband_n

still_o notwithstanding_o the_o outward_a seem_n and_o apearance_n to_o the_o contrary_n well_o friendship_n or_o no_o friendship_n old_a or_o new_a the_o doctor_n however_o have_v abundance_n of_o

a_o friend_n in_o the_o case_n in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o doctor_n tell_v we_o he_o have_v great_a design_n to_o serve_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o

have_v not_o say_v one_o word_n to_o discharge_v they_o but_o plain_o confirm_v they_o for_o he_o add_v immediate_o though_o it_o may_v not_o be_v perfect_o in_o their_o way_n now_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o sustain_v that_o denomination_n stand_v distinguish_v from_o dissenter_n of_o all_o sort_n by_o her_o canon_n article_n homily_n and_o liturgy_n and_o the_o old_a way_n of_o

be_v a_o way_n that_o do_v not_o please_v the_o doctor_n be_v friend_n but_o he_o be_v for_o a_o new_a way_n of_o his_o own_o and_o though_o the_o doctor_n do_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o way_n that_o

now_o sir_n you_o will_v confess_v that_o the_o doctor_n treat_v his_o friend_n especial_o a_o old_a friend_n a_o little_a coarse_o and_o unfriendly_a and_o i_o doubt_v very_o much_o whether_o the_o

more_o inflexible_a fearless_a honesty_n for_o these_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o character_n he_o give_v of_o he_o here_o but_o the_o doctor_n i_o suppose_v be_v grow_v wise_a now_o and_o
