the_o king_n as_o it_o be_v against_o his_o own_o inclination_n to_o release_v such_o his_o enemy_n or_o else_o to_o put_v he_o upon_o a_o necessity_n of_o disoblige_v the_o house_n by_o his_o denial_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o too_o often_o excite_v they_o to_o address_v themselves_o to_o his_o majesty_n for_o the_o removal_n of_o such_o minister_n who_o be_v chief_o in_o his_o favour_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o that_o small_a concern_v to_o a_o prince_n to_o sacrifice_v his_o most_o intimate_a friend_n to_o who_o he_o have_v unbosomed_a his_o most_o secret_a counsel_n and_o who_o perhaps_o be_v so_o charge_v only_o for_o execute_v his_o master_n precept_n alas_o let_v every_o man_n but_o make_v it_o his_o own_o case_n and_o see_v how_o uneasy_a he_o shall_v be_v to_o part_v with_o or_o give_v credit_n to_o any_o evil_a report_n against_o a_o old_a friend_n relation_n or_o servant_n without_o some_o convince_a undeniable_a proof_n make_v out_o against_o he_o not_o but_o that_o such_o address_n may_v be_v lawful_a and_o many_o time_n expedient_a also_o minister_n of_o state_n too_o often_o faulty_a nevertheless_o such_o vote_n and_o petition_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v rash_o undertake_v but_o first_o due_o weigh_v and_o consider_v with_o the_o ground_n and_o evidence_n against_o they_o and_o this_o more_o especial_o now_o since_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v please_v to_o declare_v as_o he_o will_v not_o govern_v arbitrary_o himself_o so_o neither_o shall_v his_o subject_n one_o towards_o another_o which_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o story_n of_o the_o two_o roman_a ambassador_n valerius_n and_o horatius_n who_o be_v send_v by_o the_o decem-viri_a to_o the_o people_n to_o inquire_v of_o their_o grievance_n the_o people_n among_o other_o thing_n complain_v of_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o decem-viri_a desire_v to_o have_v they_o deliver_v up_o into_o their_o hand_n that_o they_o may_v burn_v they_o alive_a but_o the_o ambassador_n not_o consent_v to_o their_o demand_n reply_v crudelitatem_fw-la damnatis_fw-la incrudelitatem_fw-la ruitis_fw-la you_o condemn_v cruelty_n and_o practice_v it_o yourselves_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v ever_o petition_v till_o about_o the_o middle_n of_o henry_n the_o seventh_n reign_n which_o petition_n be_v insert_v among_o the_o statute_n but_o though_o the_o petition_n be_v direct_v to_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o its_o title_n yet_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o petition_n be_v turn_v to_o the_o king_n and_o not_o to_o the_o commons_o the_o petition_n begin_v thus_o to_o the_o right_n worshipful_a commons_o in_o this_o present_a parliament_n assemble_v show_v to_o your_o discreet_a wisdom_n the_o warden_n of_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o craft_n of_o vpholsterer_n within_o london_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o conclusion_n be_v therefore_o may_v it_o please_v the_o king_n highness_n by_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o his_o commons_o in_o parliament_n etc._n etc._n again_o i_o find_v many_o example_n to_o prove_v that_o though_o the_o cognizance_n and_o debate_v of_o great_a state-affair_n belong_v to_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n yet_o heretofore_o the_o lord_n have_v oftentimes_o transmit_v such_o business_n to_o the_o king_n privy-council_n among_o other_o let_v this_o suffice_v when_o one_o mortimer_n who_o style_v himself_o captain_n mendall_n otherwise_o call_v jack_n cade_n come_v with_o a_o rabble_n of_o the_o vulgar_a with_o a_o petition_n to_o the_o low_a house_n the_o commons_o send_v it_o up_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o lord_n transmit_v it_o to_o the_o king_n privy-council_n to_o consider_v of_o but_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n the_o difference_n between_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v that_o the_o one_o represent_v god_n the_o other_o the_o people_n the_o consultative_n power_n by_o the_o king_n permission_n be_v in_o parliament_n but_o the_o command_a power_n remain_v inseparable_a in_o he_o the_o result_v and_o production_n of_o parliament_n at_o best_a be_v but_o bill_n it_o be_v the_o king_n breath_n

against_o all_o the_o malicious_a aspersion_n of_o his_o enemy_n who_o will_v false_o and_o treacherous_o charge_v the_o best-natured_a prince_n under_o heaven_n with_o have_v a_o design_n to_o

they_o give_v out_o that_o whereas_o there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o the_o popish_a plot_n the_o one_o to_o introduce_v popery_n the_o other_o to_o kill_v the_o king_n his_o majesty_n be_v make_v acquaint_v only_o with_o the_o former_a part_n of_o it_o viz_o the_o introduce_v of_o popery_n and_o not_o with_o his_o own_o death_n but_o here_o let_v any_o rational_a man_n consider_v for_o what_o
