by_o the_o management_n of_o his_o politic_a minister_n cardinal_n richlieu_n be_v celebrate_v with_o wonderful_a encomium_n by_o he_o that_o be_v then_o secretary_n of_o state_n they_o date_n their_o freedom_n as_o they_o call_v it_o and_o their_o power_n over_o the_o protestant_n from_o that_o acquisition_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o come_v by_o the_o help_n of_o england_n which_o be_v a_o great_a shame_n to_o be_v say_v the_o poor_a protestant_n in_o france_n particular_o in_o that_o city_n pray_v aid_n from_o hence_o and_o they_o have_v some_o ship_n six_o merchant_n ship_n send_v they_o they_o expect_v their_o deliverance_n by_o this_o mean_n but_o when_o they_o come_v instead_o of_o help_v they_o their_o man_n and_o provision_n be_v deliver_v over_o into_o the_o power_n of_o the_o french_a king_n which_o when_o they_o see_v they_o present_o throw_v open_v the_o gate_n and_o submit_v to_o mercy_n and_o ever_o since_o that_o the_o french_a king_n have_v be_v absolute_a over_o their_o own_o subject_n but_o i_o must_v not_o enlarge_v much_o more_o upon_o that_o head_n else_o i_o can_v tell_v of_o some_o great_a design_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n at_o the_o same_o time_n here_o at_o home_n the_o strike_v out_o of_o that_o part_n of_o the_o ancient_a oath_n in_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o be_v time_n at_o his_o coronation_n by_o archbishop_n laud_n that_o the_o king_n shall_v consent_v to_o such_o law_n as_o the_o people_n shall_v choose_v and_o instead_o of_o that_o another_o very_o unusual_a one_o insert_v save_v the_o king_n prerogative_n royal._n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v a_o large_a prerogative_n as_o much_o as_o a_o good_a king_n can_v desire_v he_o have_v a_o prerogative_n to_o do_v good_a he_o be_v only_o restrain_v from_o do_v hurt_n for_o our_o law_n say_v the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n he_o have_v we_o say_v a_o prerogative_n that_o be_v part_n and_o a_o eminent_a part_n of_o the_o law_n but_o it_o be_v not_o above_o the_o law_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o of_o something_o more_o of_o that_o kind_n do_v since_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o late_a king_n james_n at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o coronation_n there_o be_v much_o more_o strike_v out_o of_o the_o coronation_n oath_n which_o may_v be_v well_o worth_a the_o inquire_n how_o it_o come_v about_o but_o i_o let_v that_o pass_v i_o have_v make_v out_o to_o you_o what_o our_o great_a enemy_n design_n be_v i_o will_v now_o tell_v you_o by_o what_o mean_v he_o have_v endeavour_v to_o effect_v it_o he_o do_v first_o confederate_n with_o the_o great_a turk_n that_o profess_a enemy_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n he_o have_v bring_v he_o into_o europe_n to_o destroy_v christianity_n and_o as_o this_o enemy_n of_o we_o the_o french_a king_n will_v destroy_v protestant_n so_o will_v that_o confederate_a of_o his_o destroy_n and_o root_v out_o all_o christianity_n and_o yet_o must_v this_o great_a prince_n the_o french_a king_n forsooth_o be_v call_v the_o most_o christian_n king_n he_o do_v break_v through_o all_o the_o bond_n of_o religion_n morality_n and_o common_a justice_n he_o have_v open_o and_o public_o profess_v he_o will_v not_o be_v a_o slave_n to_o his_o word_n and_o oath_n he_o value_v not_o all_o the_o edict_n under_o which_o the_o poor_a protestant_n of_o france_n have_v their_o protection_n he_o do_v take_v a_o solemn_a oath_n and_o he_o take_v it_o upon_o the_o sacrament_n that_o he_o will_v renounce_v all_o pretension_n of_o title_n to_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o and_o yet_o you_o see_v he_o be_v gain_v the_o possession_n of_o it_o through_o a_o sea_n of_o blood_n he_o do_v as_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o suspect_v by_o his_o agent_n and_o minister_n corrupt_a with_o bribe_n and_o pension_n or_o at_o least_o endeavour_n to_o do_v it_o those_o that_o be_v agent_n and_o employ_v under_o his_o opposer_n to_o get_v town_n and_o fortress_n into_o his_o hand_n those_o unmanly_a ungenerous_a unprincely_a mean_n and_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v he_o to_o have_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o design_n of_o assassinate_v those_o that_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o have_v join_v with_o dealer_n in_o poison_n this_o i_o say_v we_o may_v very_o just_o suspect_v though_o we_o can_v offer_v undeniable_a proof_n of_o it_o but_o after_o all_o i_o shall_v instance_n in_o that_o base_a corrupt_a way_n of_o send_v midianitish_a woman_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o balaam_n to_o lull_v prince_n asleep_a and_o dive_v into_o their_o counsel_n and_o betray_v they_o to_o death_n but_o beside_o there_o be_v one_o piece_n of_o policy_n of_o he_o wherein_o he_o outdo_v all_o other_o prince_n whatsoever_o and_o that_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o maintain_v and_o manage_v intelligence_n he_o can_v tell_v when_o your_o merchant-ship_n set_v out_o and_o by_o what_o time_n they_o shall_v return_v nay_o perhaps_o he_o do_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o know_v by_o the_o help_n of_o some_o confederacy_n with_o he_o that_o be_v prince_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o air_n that_o the_o wind_n shall_v not_o serve_v in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o corner_n till_o such_o a_o time_n he_o know_v when_o our_o royal_a navy_n be_v to_o be_v divide_v and_o when_o it_o be_v unite_v and_o shall_v i_o guess_v how_o he_o come_v to_o have_v such_o intelligence_n that_o be_v well_o worth_a the_o hear_n i_o will_v but_o guess_v at_o it_o and_o i_o will_v in_o my_o guess_n forbear_v say_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v dishonourable_a to_o any_o among_o ourselves_o we_o all_o know_v the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o good_a angel_n be_v minister_n of_o god_n for_o good_a to_o the_o elect._n it_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o all_o good_a man_n that_o they_o be_v so_o it_o be_v say_v he_o will_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v over_o thou_o to_o preserve_v thou_o in_o thy_o way_n and_o i_o hope_v we_o be_v every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o our_o way_n but_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o wicked_a angel_n be_v very_o instrumental_a in_o carry_v on_o such_o design_n as_o this_o great_a man_n have_v undertake_v it_o be_v a_o vulgar_a error_n that_o have_v obtain_v among_o some_o of_o we_o that_o these_o wicked_a spirit_n be_v now_o confine_v under_o chain_n of_o darkness_n in_o the_o place_n of_o torment_n i_o remember_v that_o expression_n of_o some_o of_o they_o to_o our_o saviour_n be_v thou_o come_v to_o torment_v we_o before_o the_o time_n it_o be_v not_o then_o the_o time_n of_o their_o be_v torment_v it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o they_o be_v wander_v about_o in_o the_o air_n and_o there_o fleet_v too_o and_o fro_o drive_v on_o such_o wicked_a purpose_n as_o this_o our_o enemy_n be_v engage_v in_o we_o know_v grave_a and_o serious_a historian_n give_v we_o instance_n of_o correspondence_n hold_v by_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a spirit_n here_o the_o wicked_a by_o god_n permission_n the_o good_a by_o his_o command_n and_o particular_a good_a providence_n so_o the_o death_n of_o julian_n the_o apostate_n heathen_a emperor_n who_o be_v kill_v in_o his_o war_n in_o

christian_n and_o this_o i_o suppose_v be_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o a_o good_a angel_n we_o have_v instance_n of_o another_o nature_n of_o what_o have_v be_v do_v by_o evil_a angel_n in_o the_o instant_n of_o our_o saviour_n passion_n if_o we_o may_v believe_v credible_a historian_n it_o be_v know_v at_o a_o vast_a distance_n from_o jerusalem_n at_o sea_n among_o some_o who_o be_v then_o in_o a_o voyage_n they_o hear_v a_o voice_n in_o the_o air_n cry_v out_o of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o great_a god_n pan._n after_o which_o follow_v great_a howl_n and_o screeching_n whence_o we_o
