they_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v a_o pre●ty_n odd_a way_n of_o rescue_v people_n liberty_n to_o make_v a_o conquest_n of_o they_o and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o case_n prince_n and_o their_o flatterer_n may_v talk_v of_o piety_n and_o a_o care_n of_o the_o people_n but_o all_o the_o world_n will_v see_v that_o the_o design_n be_v not_o religion_n nor_o liberty_n to_o the_o people_n but_o a_o crown_n to_o themselves_o and_o it_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v very_o pious_a and_o religious_a to_o gain_v a_o crown_n his_o next_o instance_n be_v in_o king_n james_n time_n when_o the_o

engage_v in_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n have_v a_o just_a right_o to_o concern_v himself_o and_o to_o make_v himself_o king_n according_o to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o perceive_v it_o be_v not_o for_o every_o body_n to_o make_v consequence_n for_o who_o but_o our_o author_n can_v ever_o have_v find_v out_o how_o such_o wonderful_a thing_n

neither_o a_o religious_a nor_o a_o righteous_a cause_n his_o three_o instance_n be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o when_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n have_v take_v arm_n to_o
