appear_v for_o the_o king_n interest_n but_o true_o all_o thing_n consider_v we_o need_v not_o wonder_v at_o it_o for_o ecclesiastical_a interest_n and_o monarchical_a interest_n have_v be_v and_o must_v be_v jumble_v together_o as_o interwoven_a one_o in_o another_o suitable_a to_o that_o text_n revel_v 17.7_o the_o beast_n must_v bear_v the_o whore_n a_o lively_a portraiture_n of_o your_o

you_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o mad_a and_o so_o perfidious_o irrarionall_a as_o to_o attempt_v own_o or_o prosecute_v the_o destructive_a propagation_n of_o the_o corrupt_a principle_n and_o interest_n of_o this_o king_n so_o palpable_o destructive_a to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a public_a interest_n i_o beseech_v you_o look_v back_o a_o little_a and_o take_v a_o particular_a survey_n

if_o examine_v as_o light_a as_o vanity_n itself_o for_o mind_n if_o no_o precedent_n can_v be_v produce_v or_o extract_v from_o our_o ancestor_n then_o this_o parliament_n have_v make_v and_o may_v

world_n if_o they_o judge_v impartial_o can_v possible_o contradict_v now_o as_o presidence_n be_v not_o constant_a rule_n to_o act_v by_o so_o no_o former_a precedent_n whatsoever_o can_v bound_v or_o limit_v the_o proceed_n and_o action_n of_o the_o succeed_a generation_n because_o precedent_n of_o necessity_n may_v and_o must_v differ_v according_a to_o the_o mutable_a different_a condition_n of_o time_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o no_o precedent_n be_v clear_a because_o no_o king_n do_v ever_o personal_o or_o commissional_o so_o perfidious_o attempt_v the_o ruin_n and_o desolation_n of_o the_o public_a interest_n and_o therefore_o no_o cause_n of_o a_o precedent_n of_o this_o nature_n i_o hope_v gainsayer_n will_v be_v silent_a in_o this_o for_o whoever_o deny_v it_o
