a_o answer_n to_o a_o paper_n entitle_v a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n upon_o the_o dissolve_v of_o the_o late_a parliament_n and_o the_o call_n of_o a_o new_a one_o together_o with_o a_o list_n of_o those_o that_o be_v against_o make_v the_o prince_n and_o princess_n of_o orange_n king_n and_o queen_n sir_n as_o by_o the_o strain_n and_o stile_n of_o your_o letter_n i_o may_v easy_o repute_v you_o one_o more_o precipitant_a than_o prudent_a and_o more_o passionate_a than_o politic_a so_o may_v i_o on_o rational_a ground_n from_o the_o drift_n and_o design_n of_o your_o letter_n conclude_v you_o a_o great_a jacobite_n or_o veil_v favourite_n of_o the_o late_a k._n james_n for_o in_o pretence_n of_o vindicate_v the_o present_a king_n interest_n you_o first_o set_v up_o mark_n of_o your_o

fond_a fancy_n you_o discharge_v the_o artillery_n of_o your_o pretend_a zeal_n and_o loyalty_n at_o your_o own_o foolish_a proposal_n and_o for_o all_o you_o pretend_v by_o your_o wit_n and_o

not_o have_v fall_v on_o a_o ready_a and_o sure_a way_n to_o raise_v animosity_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o breed_v jealousy_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n best_a subject_n for_o at_o first_o you_o suppose_v a_o controversy_n where_o real_o there_o be_v none_o viz._n whether_o it_o be_v the_o king_n wisdom_n or_o to_o please_v himself_o with_o a_o exercise_n of_o regal_a power_n and_o to_o look_v great_a that_o make_v he_o dissolve_v this_o parliament_n then_o worthy_a sir_n your_o own_o wisdom_n acquiesce_v with_o what_o his_o majesty_n do_v you_o take_v up_o the_o cudgel_n in_o his_o vindication_n whilst_o there_o be_v few_o or_o none_o to_o strike_v at_o though_o his_o majesty_n in_o his_o last_o speech_n to_o the_o parliament_n when_o it_o be_v prorogue_v speak_v more_o sense_n and_o give_v great_a reason_n for_o what_o he_o do_v though_o in_o few_o word_n than_o in_o all_o your_o long_a learned_a legomachical_a apology_n next_o you_o cast_v a_o aspersion_n on_o the_o member_n of_o parliament_n that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v and_o therefore_o you_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o k._n send_v they_o about_o their_o business_n for_o not_o unite_n the_o protestant_n and_o vindicate_v our_o law_n and_o liberty_n and_o punish_v those_o who_o have_v subvert_v our_o constitution_n etc._n etc._n true_o sir_n there_o be_v much_o in_o this_o for_o it_o wlil_v be_v find_v a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o unite_v the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o dissenter_n though_o they_o seemtodiffer_v but_o in_o matter_n of_o ceremony_n but_o if_o they_o do_v not_o make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o vindicate_v the_o law_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o design_n in_o the_o right_a place_n to_o punish_v those_o who_o have_v subvert_v

till_o you_o prove_v your_o assertion_n your_o contumelious_a speech_n be_v but_o a_o aspersion_n the_o next_o thing_n you_o propose_v out_o of_o your_o wisdom_n be_v a_o speedy_a mean_n to_o clear_v the_o king_n descent_n into_o england_n from_o be_v a_o ambitious_a usurpation_n true_o sir_n i_o believe_v there_o be_v few_o man_n of_o sense_n that_o will_v repute_v the_o king_n expedition_n to_o

gain_v the_o weather-gage_n on_o a_o right_a understanding_n and_o lead_v the_o people_n to_o open_a rebellion_n and_o though_o you_o be_v please_v confident_o to_o say_v that_o his_o present_a

law_n and_o liberty_n true_o sir_n as_o i_o have_v say_v you_o can_v have_v fall_v upon_o no_o sure_a way_n to_o do_v both_o king_n and_o country_n a_o diskindness_n than_o by_o suppose_v under_o the_o pretence_n of_o a_o good_a meaning_n those_o rebellious_a controversy_n which_o may_v breed_v jealousy_n make_v the_o best_a subject_n question_v the_o foundation_n of_o their_o loyalty_n and_o
