england_n eye_n that_o he_o may_v see_v his_o danger_n and_o remember_v that_o the_o first_o murder_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o brother_n viz._n cain_n kill_v abel_n yet_o i_o will_v fain_o hope_v that_o the_o royal_a brother_n of_o our_o king_n have_v learned_a to_o abhor_v such_o wickedness_n however_o it_o be_v good_a to_o consider_v what_o bad_a principle_n with_o worldly_a glory_n wicked_a counsellor_n and_o satan_n temptation_n especial_o if_o he_o may_v be_v safe_a in_o it_o may_v lead_v frail_a man_n unto_o but_o let_v we_o consider_v a_o little_o further_a cook_n upon_o littleton_n and_o inquire_v first_o whether_o these_o word_n be_v law_n or_o his_o notion_n as_o a_o lawyer_n second_o if_o it_o shall_v appear_v they_o be_v law_n whether_o it_o will_v agree_v with_o the_o wisdom_n and_o safety_n of_o any_o king_n whether_o protestant_n or_o papist_n to_o let_v such_o a_o law_n be_v unrepealed_a see_v a_o successor_n may_v be_v a_o traitor_n and_o yet_o must_v have_v the_o crown_n pray_v sir_n consider_v it_o be_v no_o breach_n of_o law_n to_o repeal_n a_o bad_a law_n and_o make_v a_o better_a 8._o i_o admire_v among_o many_o of_o your_o folly_n you_o shall_v call_v the_o parliament_n omnipotent_a in_o a_o way_n of_o mockery_n and_o apply_v these_o word_n to_o the_o protestant_n o_o foolish_a and_o timorous_a countryman_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o pray_v sir_n let_v i_o return_v they_o to_o you_o o_o foolish_a and_o impudent_a countryman_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v use_v such_o word_n as_o do_v proclaim_v you_o to_o be_v very_o near_o of_o kin_n to_o one_o of_o the_o grand_a traitor_n viz._n mr._n coleman_n for_o these_o be_v his_o word_n in_o which_o he_o mock_v the_o parliament_n in_o his_o letter_n to_o the_o french_a king_n confessor_n viz._n omnipotent_a parliament_n sir_n how_o dare_v you_o upbraid_v our_o worthy_a protestant_a parliament_n to_o our_o english_a protestant_n king_n as_o a_o traitor_n do_v to_o the_o confessor_n of_o a_o popish_a french_a king_n what_o be_v you_o bring_v up_o in_o the_o traitor_n school_n true_o sir_n i_o do_v not_o like_o your_o learning_n 9_o i_o admire_v that_o you_o shall_v say_v a_o king_n of_o england_n though_o the_o most_o zealous_a papist_n can_v subvert_v the_o government_n and_o protestant_n religion_n as_o it_o be_v establish_v and_o you_o rebuke_v the_o protestant_n for_o have_v so_o little_a faith_n as_o not_o to_o believe_v this_o to_o be_v true_a what_o sir_n do_v you_o mean_v to_o wheadle_n the_o protestant_n out_o of_o their_o reason_n and_o memory_n of_o thing_n upon_o record_n true_o we_o have_v be_v too_o much_o thus_o abuse_v already_o and_o though_o our_o eyesight_n have_v be_v much_o dim_v we_o be_v not_o yet_o stark_o blind_a thanks_o be_v to_o god_n and_o the_o two_o last_o parliament_n for_o some_o eyesalve_n whereby_o we_o see_v our_o present_a and_o future_a danger_n and_o beside_o this_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o popish_a successor_n that_o have_v subvert_v the_o government_n and_o protestant_n religion_n viz._n queen_n mary_n pray_v do_v not_o think_v to_o quibble_n with_o we_o and_o say_v you_o mention_v a_o king_n that_o can_v not_o do_v thus_o for_o if_o a_o woman_n have_v do_v such_o mischief_n we_o think_v a_o man_n may_v do_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o and_o whereas_o you_o persuade_v the_o protestant_n to_o embrace_v a_o popish_a successor_n because_o the_o popish_a party_n do_v suffer_v queen_n elizabeth_n to_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n what_o sir_n have_v you_o forget_v or_o do_v you_o not_o believe_v that_o endeavour_n be_v use_v by_o the_o papist_n to_o prevent_v that_o good_a lady_n come_v to_o the_o crown_n witness_v her_o imprisonment_n in_o the_o tower_n and_o at_o woodstock_n and_o a_o warrant_v private_o seal_v for_o her_o execution_n without_o any_o public_a trial_n witness_v a_o party_n of_o man_n with_o coat_n of_o mail_n to_o assault_v she_o at_o woodstock_n but_o god_n strange_o prevent_v they_o witness_v queen_n mary_n pretend_v to_o be_v with_o child_n when_o it_o be_v not_o so_o thereby_o strive_v to_o bring_v in_o a_o false_a heir_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o so_o put_v by_o the_o good_a lady_n elizabeth_n i_o pray_v you_o read_v the_o chronicle_n of_o england_n and_o fox_n act_n and_o monument_n and_o you_o be_v please_v to_o reprove_v the_o protestant_n for_o be_v more_o mistrustful_a of_o god_n providence_n than_o the_o papist_n be_v at_o queen_n elizabeth_n come_v to_o the_o crown_n sure_o you_o can_v think_v the_o papist_n have_v any_o great_a faith_n in_o the_o flourish_a of_o their_o religion_n under_o a_o protestant_a successor_n however_o we_o protestant_n think_v it_o will_v be_v foolishness_n and_o presumption_n rather_o than_o faith_n in_o god_n to_o expect_v the_o flourish_a of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n under_o a_o popish_a successor_n true_o we_o think_v we_o have_v cause_n to_o improve_v the_o old_a proverb_n the_o burn_a child_n dread_v the_o fire_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v the_o successor_n be_v bound_v and_o limit_v by_o law_n and_o therefore_o can_v hurt_v the_o protestant_n we_o think_v it_o be_v not_o impossible_a nor_o improbable_a for_o a_o popish_a successor_n to_o have_v a_o popish_a parliament_n or_o rule_n without_o a_o parliament_n and_o then_o farewell_n all_o the_o happiness_n of_o protestant_n viz._n estate_n liberty_n religion_n and_o life_n 10._o i_o admire_v you_o shall_v so_o much_o plead_v the_o breach_n of_o law_n in_o disinherit_n a_o heir_n whereas_o it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n for_o the_o father_n to_o disinherit_v the_o son_n and_o one_o brother_n to_o disinherit_v another_o and_o not_o break_v the_o law_n but_o do_v it_o by_o law_n i_o suppose_v if_o you_o be_v possess_v of_o ten_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la a_o and_o shall_v foresee_v that_o your_o son_n or_o brother_n will_v destroy_v the_o estate_n and_o ruin_n the_o family_n after_o your_o decease_n you_o will_v not_o think_v it_o a_o act_n of_o folly_n or_o dishonesty_n to_o dispose_v of_o the_o estate_n for_o the_o welfare_n of_o your_o posterity_n and_o beside_o this_o we_o must_v consider_v there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o be_v heir_n to_o a_o estate_n of_o house_n and_o land_n which_o be_v senseless_a thing_n and_o heir_n to_o the_o government_n over_o a_o people_n who_o have_v rational_a soul_n who_o consent_n be_v concern_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o who_o be_v capable_a of_o rejoice_v and_o praise_v god_n in_o a_o state_n of_o happiness_n or_o of_o groan_v and_o lament_v under_o a_o state_n of_o misery_n and_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o mercy_n of_o england_n to_o be_v thus_o provide_v for_o by_o the_o king_n who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o by_o parliament_n who_o be_v the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n great_a council_n than_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n will_v not_o be_v violate_v because_o the_o people_n be_v thereby_o bind_v to_o he_o that_o be_v successor_n according_a to_o law_n and_o such_o a_o one_o can_v be_v count_v a_o usurper_n because_o he_o do_v not_o force_v himself_o upon_o the_o kingdom_n but_o be_v establish_v beforehand_o by_o king_n and_o parliament_n and_o whereas_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o your_o paper_n you_o seem_v to_o glory_n in_o the_o word_n of_o cook_n upon_o littleton_n concern_v the_o crown_n descend_v to_o the_o heir_n though_o attaint_v with_o treason_n yet_o afterward_o when_o you_o take_v notice_n of_o cook_n upon_o littleton_n in_o these_o word_n none_o be_v heir_n before_o the_o death_n of_o his_o ancestor_n but_o only_o the_o heir_n apparent_a here_o you_o slight_a and_o reproach_n cook_n upon_o littleton_n say_v by_o cook_n leave_v this_o his_o observation_n be_v fallacious_a and_o impertinent_a what_o sir_n i_o perceive_v you_o can_v believe_v all_o that_o cook_n say_v to_o be_v law_n except_o it_o be_v that_o the_o heir_n attaint_v with_o treason_n must_v have_v the_o crown_n 11._o i_o admire_v you_o shall_v so_o bitter_o reflect_v on_o person_n and_o thing_n in_o time_n past_a when_o as_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v please_v to_o bury_v they_o in_o the_o grave_a of_o oblivion_n and_o have_v receive_v some_o person_n former_o offend_a into_o favour_n and_o crown_v they_o with_o great_a dignity_n be_v well_o satisfy_v in_o their_o loyalty_n and_o the_o very_a people_n you_o reproach_v with_o the_o name_n of_o infamy_n have_v behave_v themselves_o with_o peaceable_a subjection_n to_o authority_n though_o many_o time_n under_o very_o hard_a usage_n for_o conscience_n sake_n but_o pray_v sir_n where_o be_v your_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_v of_o the_o king_n viz._n to_o lay_v aside_o all_o name_n of_o infamy_n and_o distinction_n and_o beside_o this_o you_o do_v not_o spare_v the_o parliament_n call_v the_o house_n

of_o commons_o fiery_a zealot_n turbulent_a zealot_n and_o robber_n of_o those_o they_o shall_v honour_v and_o obey_v by_o this_o his_o majesty_n may_v perceive_v how_o you_o will_v let_v fly_v your_o reflection_n at_o he_o also_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o please_v you_o what_o sir_n have_v you_o a_o mind_n to_o set_v king_n and_o people_n at_o variance_n who_o be_v now_o at_o peace_n and_o do_v you_o think_v to_o scare_v his_o majesty_n from_o agree_v with_o his_o parliament_n in_o provide_v for_o the_o future_a welfare_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o this_o matter_n i_o will_v say_v to_o you_o as_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n say_v to_o satan_n zech._n 3.2_o the_o lord_n rebuke_v thou_o the_o lord_n that_o have_v choose_v jerusalem_n rebuke_v thou_o 12._o i_o admire_v you_o shall_v account_v it_o such_o a_o wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n to_o disinherit_v a_o successor_n as_o if_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n be_v violate_v sure_o you_o have_v not_o consider_v that_o scripture_n sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n now_o god_n do_v never_o make_v a_o law_n either_o for_o his_o own_o people_n israel_n or_o for_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o the_o next_o of_o blood_n to_o the_o crown_n must_v always_o wear_v it_o true_o sir_n i_o can_v find_v any_o such_o law_n of_o god_n in_o our_o protestant_a bible_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o law_n that_o do_v always_o command_v such_o a_o succession_n it_o can_v be_v a_o sin_n against_o god_n sometime_o to_o let_v such_o a_o succession_n be_v lay_v aside_o for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o another_o place_n where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n and_o beside_o this_o we_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o those_o who_o be_v not_o next_o of_o blood_n to_o the_o crown_n do_v wear_v it_o by_o god_n approbation_n david_n succeed_v saul_n in_o the_o government_n and_o not_o any_o of_o saul_n child_n solomon_n succeed_v david_n and_o not_o david_n elder_a son_n and_o i_o hope_v these_o successor_n may_v be_v well_o call_v the_o best_a of_o prince_n but_o suppose_v it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o god_n have_v establish_v such_o a_o succession_n of_o prince_n in_o israel_n as_o you_o plead_v for_o that_o will_v not_o prove_v that_o england_n be_v bind_v to_o such_o a_o model_n of_o government_n as_o israel_n have_v for_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n who_o be_v in_o be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n of_o the_o government_n of_o israel_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o have_v such_o a_o government_n as_o they_o have_v and_o if_o any_o venture_n to_o affirm_v they_o be_v bind_v in_o this_o case_n then_o mark_v what_o may_v be_v conclude_v from_o it_o viz._n that_o when_o the_o government_n of_o israel_n be_v by_o judge_n then_o shall_v the_o other_o nation_n have_v change_v their_o king_n into_o judge_n also_o indeed_o sir_n i_o do_v think_v you_o will_v not_o be_v in_o haste_n to_o charge_v those_o nation_n with_o sin_n as_o you_o do_v charge_n your_o own_o nation_n though_o they_o do_v not_o conform_v to_o israel_n government_n furthermore_o consider_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o israel_n princely_a government_n must_v be_v england_n rule_n so_o must_v the_o priestly_a government_n be_v a_o rule_n also_o and_o this_o be_v a_o ready_a way_n to_o destroy_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v now_o establish_v for_o which_o you_o will_v have_v no_o thanks_o from_o our_o protestant_a clergy_n therefore_o sir_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v learn_v to_o be_v wise_a than_o to_o charge_v either_o king_n parliament_z or_o people_n with_o sin_n against_o god_n when_o no_o law_n of_o god_n be_v break_v sir_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v what_o a_o strange_a work_n you_o have_v undertake_v in_o persuade_v the_o protestant_n to_o embrace_v and_o accept_v of_o a_o popish_a successor_n 1._o first_o in_o thus_o do_v you_o put_v all_o the_o protestant_n in_o england_n to_o venture_v all_o their_o happiness_n in_o the_o hand_n and_o under_o the_o power_n of_o one_o that_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n not_o to_o keep_v faith_n with_o heretic_n and_o will_v be_v require_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o rome_n to_o make_v his_o people_n turn_v or_o burn._n how_o then_o can_v england_n as_o it_o be_v now_o a_o protestant_a kingdom_n be_v safe_a under_o such_o a_o prince_n true_o sir_n we_o protestant_n have_v rather_o for_o the_o present_n let_v you_o call_v we_o o_o you_o of_o little_a faith_n than_o that_o you_o shall_v cry_v out_o of_o we_o hereafter_o o_o you_o of_o great_a folly_n 2._o second_o you_o put_v the_o popish_a successor_n upon_o wrong_v of_o his_o conscience_n to_o obtain_v a_o crown_n for_o he_o must_v solemn_o swear_v at_o his_o coronation_n before_o god_n and_o the_o kingdom_n that_o he_o will_v maintain_v and_o defend_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o all_o other_o the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o people_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o we_o have_v sufficient_a cause_n to_o believe_v thus_o to_o swear_v be_v contrary_a to_o his_o principle_n and_o conscience_n and_o authority_n of_o rome_n and_o shall_v he_o be_v true_a to_o his_o oath_n after_o take_v it_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n will_v soon_o excommunicate_v he_o depose_v and_o murder_v he_o now_o therefore_o that_o all_o true_a protestant_n in_o england_n may_v be_v free_a from_o all_o the_o danger_n that_o attend_v they_o in_o this_o case_n and_o that_o a_o popish_a successor_n may_v be_v free_a from_o all_o the_o danger_n that_o attend_v he_o in_o this_o case_n let_v all_o true_a protestant_n cry_v to_o god_n that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n may_v agree_v together_o to_o establish_v a_o good_a protestant_a successor_n and_o let_v all_o the_o people_n say_v amen_n amen_n finis_fw-la
