a_o letter_n from_o a_o english_a merchant_n who_o leave_v holland_n and_o come_v to_o take_v a_o prospect_n of_o our_o future_a settlement_n to_o his_o friend_n in_o rotterdam_n which_o be_v intercept_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v publish_v sir_n you_o very_o well_o know_v that_o the_o strong_a temptation_n which_o return_v i_o to_o my_o native_a country_n be_v the_o hope_n of_o see_v it_o entire_o happy_a the_o land_n of_o canaan_n the_o land_n of_o promise_n when_o the_o p._n of_o o._n declare_v the_o design_n of_o his_o expedition_n be_v to_o obstruct_v the_o evil_a course_n of_o his_o father-in-law_n i_o can_v never_o imagine_v he_o will_v have_v fall_v in_o with_o the_o same_o measure_n and_o as_o bad_a minister_n himself_o i_o expect_v a_o theocracy_n a_o government_n level_v to_o the_o common_a good_a a_o utter_a extirpation_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o a_o extensive_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n a_o consistency_n of_o one_o thing_n with_o another_o and_o as_o much_o of_o plato_n idea_n as_o can_v be_v reduce_v to_o practice_n little_o do_v i_o dream_v that_o the_o p._n of_o o._n can_v be_v infect_v with_o monarchy_n and_o that_o he_o who_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o a_o commonwealth_n can_v so_o soon_o aspire_v to_o tyranny_n i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o monsieur_n bent_v be_v to_o give_v closet-law_n to_o england_n and_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v get_v into_o preferment_n however_o worthy_a he_o be_v of_o it_o unless_o he_o have_v first_o settle_v his_o account_n with_o my_o lord_n portland_n but_o since_o this_o be_v the_o way_n i_o do_v doubt_v but_o we_o shall_v have_v more_o shale_n every_o year_n to_o betray_v the_o king_n and_o our_o country_n and_o i_o begin_v to_o fear_v this_o man_n will_v grow_v as_o fast_o a_o grievance_n as_o the_o old_a duke_n of_o buckingham_n be_v to_o this_o nation_n in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o i_o can_v not_o guess_v that_o d●●by_n nottingham_n godolphin_n and_o such_o like_a be_v to_o manage_v all_o our_o affair_n no_o more_o than_o i_o can_v suppose_v that_o lieutenant-general_n ludlow_n will_v have_v be_v hunt_v down_o for_o have_v once_o so_o great_o vindicate_v our_o right_n here_o indeed_o i_o be_o astonish_v that_o major_a wildman_n major_a manly_n etc._n etc._n who_o be_v outlaw_n be_v fit_a to_o sit_v with_o they_o in_o the_o parliament-house_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n ludlow_n fit_a to_o be_v hang_v if_o king_n be_v punishable_a for_o maladministration_n that_o punishment_n be_v most_o wise_a and_o most_o honest_a that_o make_v thing_n most_o safe_a and_o it_o be_v a_o act_n to_o be_v repent_v of_o that_o we_o do_v not_o make_v ourselves_o as_o secure_v at_o rochester_n this_o time_n twelvemonth_n as_o we_o do_v former_o if_o a_o king_n be_v impunible_a we_o ought_v all_o to_o have_v subscribe_v to_o passive_a obedience_n but_o if_o he_o can_v be_v a_o traitor_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n he_o shall_v die_v as_o such_o and_o his_o judge_n never_o upbraid_v for_o it_o but_o when_o such_o be_v employ_v as_o be_v the_o avow_a fautor_n of_o unlimited_a power_n it_o be_v a_o compliment_n to_o the_o ministry_n to_o stigmatize_v and_o cry_v out_o upon_o republican_n but_o i_o be_o not_o only_o disappoint_v in_o our_o prince_n for_o no_o man_n can_v have_v persuade_v i_o that_o my_o lord_n do_v and_o del_fw-it will_v have_v sell_v place_n or_o can_v have_v be_v guilty_a of_o bribery_n much_o less_o shall_v i_o have_v fear_v that_o hampd_v and_o the_o lead_a man_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o shall_v have_v sell_v their_o fellow-subject_n for_o the_o great_a advancement_n at_o court._n and_o least_o of_o all_o do_v i_o apprehend_v that_o the_o member_n will_v be_v so_o open_o pentionary_a and_o run_v as_o errant_o into_o the_o distinction_n o●_n court_n and_o country_n party_n as_o they_o do_v in_o that_o long_a parliament_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o but_o we_o have_v now_o fresh_a reason_n to_o remember_v who_o be_v the_o great_a minister_n then_o thus_o far_o for_o civil_n but_o religion_n be_v manage_v yet_o more_o odd_o the_o king_n have_v swear_v positive_o to_o maintain_v two_o religion_n have_v change_v his_o own_o and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o episcopacy_n have_v exercise_v a_o dispense_v power_n and_o turn_v out_o the_o whig_n faction_n in_o scotland_n the_o sacramental_a test_n be_v keep_v on_o foot_n to_o keep_v those_o out_o of_o office_n who_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v in_o it_o and_o a_o new_a creed_n be_v make_v for_o the_o quaker_n that_o neither_o they_o nor_o any_o body_n else_o understand_v and_o to_o conclude_v with_o what_o be_v yet_o most_o miserable_a we_o be_v crowd_v with_o foreigner_n to_o support_v and_o maintain_v this_o certain_a vassalage_n and_o uncertain_a religion_n tory_n must_v govern_v the_o corporation_n and_o mercenary_n the_o kingdom_n which_o i_o shall_v from_o henceforward_o give_v up_o for_o
