be_v that_o such_o plot_n shall_v take_v effect_n to_o miss_v the_o very_a critical_a minute_n spoil_v all_o the_o design_n and_o yet_o after_o all_o the_o skill_n and_o contrivance_n they_o can_v use_v there_o be_v ten_o thousand_o casualty_n to_o disappoint_v they_o such_o design_n can_v be_v act_v alone_o but_o require_v numerous_a confederate_n and_o what_o security_n can_v there_o be_v that_o no_o one_o man_n in_o such_o a_o number_n shall_v betray_v the_o secret_a some_o possible_o may_v be_v touch_v with_o remorse_n and_o horror_n of_o conscience_n may_v be_v fright_v with_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o that_o villainy_n which_o they_o design_v to_o act_v and_o then_o they_o need_v no_o body_n to_o betray_v they_o but_o themselves_o for_o no_o man_n can_v long_o together_o

a_o casement_n into_o man_n breast_n other_o man_n who_o enter_v into_o the_o confederacy_n to_o make_v their_o fortune_n may_v happen_v to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v much_o the_o safe_a and_o most_o effectual_a way_n to_o do_v this_o by_o discover_v the_o plot_n than_o by_o act_v it_o the_o power_n of_o wine_n sometime_o unlock_v a_o secret_a and_o save_v a_o kingdom_n some_o unexpected_a

when_o man_n once_o espouse_v a_o party_n like_o those_o who_o be_v a_o run_v down_o hill_n they_o can_v stop_v when_o they_o please_v discontent_n and_o jealousy_n be_v easy_o foment_v when_o we_o have_v once_o give_v admission_n to_o they_o and_o the_o busy_a factor_n and_o agent_n for_o sedition_n when_o they_o find_v we_o never_o so_o little_o dispose_v and_o prepare_v to_o receive_v the_o impression_n use_v their_o utmost_a art_n and_o skill_n all_o the_o method_n of_o insinuation_n and_o address_n to_o make_v we_o proselyte_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o man_n have_v die_v rebel_n and_o suffer_v as_o traitor_n who_o at_o first_o do_v as_o much_o abhor_v the_o thought_n of_o treason_n and_o rebellion_n as_o any_o of_o we_o can_v thus_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o be_v in_o our_o late_a trouble_n and_o thus_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n let_v such_o example_n as_o these_o make_v we_o wary_a how_o we_o begin_v to_o entertain_v or_o to_o whisper_v our_o discontent_n and_o fear_n how_o we_o begin_v to_o listen_v to_o suspicion_n of_o our_o prince_n or_o of_o his_o government_n and_o to_o hear_v with_o pleasure_n any_o scandalous_a story_n or_o reflection_n on_o either_o those_o who_o can_v with_o content_n and_o pleasure_n hear_v their_o prince_n and_o his_o government_n revile_v will_v soon_o think_v he_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v their_o king_n and_o the_o great_a danger_n of_o such_o beginning_n be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o observe_v they_o in_o ourselves_o or_o other_o when_o religion_n be_v concern_v in_o the_o quarrel_n we_o think_v it_o all_o zeal_n pure_a zeal_n and_o can_v suspect_v ourselves_o or_o other_o to_o be_v in_o any_o danger_n of_o turn_v rebel_n but_o whatever_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n a_o degree_n and_o tendency_n towards_o rebellion_n be_v so_o where_o ever_o and_o in_o whosoever_o it_o be_v find_v and_o there_o be_v always_o more_o danger_n that_o the_o beginning_n of_o vice_n shall_v corrupt_v the_o best_a temper_n of_o mind_n than_o any_o hope_n that_o a_o sound_n and_o religious_a disposition_n shall_v correct_v the_o malign_a influence_n of_o such_o a_o vice_n some_o man_n religion_n do_v as_o much_o incline_v they_o to_o faction_n as_o secular_a interest_n do_v other_o man_n and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o dangerous_a faction_n as_o that_o which_o be_v breed_v and_o nourish_v by_o the_o corruption_n of_o religion_n the_o jewish_a zealot_n and_o the_o christian_a enthusiast_n of_o all_o sort_n be_v too_o plain_a a_o example_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o when_o man_n who_o make_v great_a pretence_n to_o religion_n begin_v to_o talk_v or_o act_v factious_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n be_v as_o like_a to_o make_v they_o rebel_n as_o any_o other_o man_n thus_o we_o often_o see_v it_o be_v and_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o suspect_v all_o such_o beginning_n either_o in_o ourselves_o or_o other_o whatever_o glorious_a pretence_n we_o may_v have_v let_v this_o at_o last_o teach_v we_o to_o learn_v from_o experience_n one_o will_v wonder_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o occasion_n for_o such_o a_o observation_n as_o this_o for_o those_o who_o have_v not_o understanding_n nor_o reach_n enough_o to_o foresee_v the_o issue_n and_o event_n of_o thing_n yet_o when_o they_o have_v once_o see_v what_o the_o event_n of_o such_o action_n have_v be_v when_o they_o see_v the_o same_o thing_n act_v over_o again_o they_o expect_v to_o see_v the_o same_o effect_n thus_o indeed_o it_o usual_o be_v thus_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v if_o man_n ever_o intend_v to_o grow_v wise_a and_o happy_a and_o yet_o our_o late_a observation_n will_v tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o always_o thus_o for_o if_o it_o have_v the_o same_o game_n will_v never_o have_v be_v play_v over_o twice_o by_o many_o of_o the_o same_o man_n in_o the_o same_o age_n and_o by_o the_o same_o art_n and_o method_n and_o yet_o the_o people_n delude_v and_o the_o world_n bear_v in_o hand_n that_o they_o design_v nothing_o less_o than_o to_o play_v the_o same_o game_n again_o we_o see_v all_o the_o zeal_n and_o all_o the_o intrigue_n of_o 40._o and_o 41._o return_v again_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o unpardonable_a crime_n for_o any_o man_n to_o say_v so_o or_o for_o any_o man_n to_o look_v as_o if_o he_o think_v so_o the_o cry_n against_o popery_n

between_o those_o time_n and_o we_o but_o then_o our_o real_a fear_n and_o danger_n of_o popery_n be_v present_o abuse_v to_o factious_a design_n and_o make_v a_o property_n of_o to_o serve_v some_o
