can_v make_v they_o to_o be_v all_o of_o one_o kind_n for_o all_o crime_n tend_v more_o or_o less_o to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o virtue_n yet_o no_o man_n can_v say_v that_o all_o crime_n be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n second_o be_v they_o of_o the_o same_o or_o different_a kind_n yet_o neither_o all_o nor_o any_o of_o these_o charge_v against_o i_o do_v tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o

the_o law_n and_o the_o frame_n of_o government_n and_o that_o i_o have_v do_v this_o by_o conspiracy_n or_o force_v or_o any_o overt_a action_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o offer_v in_o proof_n and_o for_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o particular_a law_n if_o i_o be_v guilty_a i_o be_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o sanction_n of_o that_o law_n which_o i_o have_v break_v 3._o three_o whereas_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o many_o action_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n make_v a_o habit._n that_o be_v true_a but_o what_o then_o for_o first_o the_o action_n urge_v against_o i_o be_v not_o of_o the_o

well_o as_o the_o result_n or_o habit_n itself_o whereas_o it_o have_v be_v grant_v all_o along_o that_o my_o particular_a action_n be_v not_o treason_n and_o three_o a_o habit_n in_o itself_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v treason_n for_o all_o treason_n be_v either_o thought_n word_n or_o overt_a act_n but_o no_o habit_n be_v either_o of_o these_o therefore_o not_o treason_n for_o a_o

upon_o this_o particular_a i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o answer_v as_o follow_v that_o what_o move_v my_o chaplain_n to_o expunge_v that_o large_a passage_n against_o image_n i_o know_v not_o nor_o can_v i_o now_o know_v my_o chaplain_n be_v dead_a but_o that_o this_o i_o be_v sure_a of_o that_o elsewhere_o in_o those_o very_a sermon_n there_o be_v as_o plain_v a_o passage_n sermon_n and_o

the_o business_n of_o leave_v the_o care_n of_o these_o book_n and_o the_o overview_n of_o they_o to_o my_o chaplain_n it_o be_v then_o urge_v that_o the_o commissary_n w._n of_o john_n lord_n

his_o official_a call_v he_o chancellor_n or_o commissary_n or_o what_o you_o will_v make_v but_o one_o person_n in_o law_n and_o therefore_o the_o act_n of_o the_o commissary_n to_o the_o full_a

then_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n house_n and_o so_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o duke_n judge_n make_v a_o speech_n for_o he_o and_o correct_v his_o speech_n in_o some_o particular_n and_o of_o a_o judge_n make_v myself_o a_o advocate_n which_o mr._n nicolas_n say_v be_v a_o great_a offence_n i_o see_v not_o these_o paper_n and_o therefore_o can_v say_v nothing_o what_o be_v or_o be_v not_o under_o my_o

i_o must_v have_v answer_v but_o none_o be_v charge_v but_o only_o the_o bare_a make_n of_o one_o speech_n and_o the_o mend_n of_o another_o and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a poor_a argument_n of_o any_o

so_o much_o bind_v as_o i_o be_v i_o can_v not_o refuse_v so_o much_o service_n be_v entreat_v to_o it_o and_o three_o i_o do_v humble_o conceive_v that_o so_o long_o as_o there_o
traduce_v no_o man_n justice_n first_o because_o they_o depend_v upon_o a_o if_o if_o the_o parliament-man_n there_o mention_v tell_v i_o truth_n that_o such_o a_o resolution_n be_v take_v and_o second_o because_o it_o can_v be_v no_o justice_n in_o any_o man_n be_v the_o sentence_n never_o so_o moderate_a in_o itself_o to_o take_v up_o a_o resolution_n what_o sentence_n shall_v pass_v before_o answer_v give_v or_o charge_v put_v in_o for_o else_o a_o man_n may_v be_v punish_v first_o and_o try_v after_o which_o be_v contrary_a 13._o to_o all_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o therefore_o if_o such_o a_o resolution_n be_v take_v as_o i_o believe_v not_o i_o may_v well_o say_v that_o which_o follow_v after_o then_o be_v produce_v a_o paper_n concern_v the_o subsidy_n or_o

those_o time_n have_v the_o grace_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o other_o grace_n and_o there_o be_v then_o as_o peculiar_a a_o gift_n by_o inspiration_n to_o pray_v as_o to_o

for_o i_o tell_v you_o my_o lord_n be_v very_o near_o confess_v as_o much_o as_o i_o have_v say_v for_o he_o say_v ingenuous_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o many_o church_n in_o england_n

that_o shall_v avow_v the_o contrary_a must_v needs_o differ_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o fundamental_o for_o these_o contradiction_n a_o true_a church_n and_o no_o true_a church_n a_o

without_o far_a proof_n to_o deny_v both_o the_o defect_n and_o corruption_n both_o the_o many_o and_o the_o gross_a as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v make_v good_a

his_o lordship_n confess_v they_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n which_o if_o not_o several_a yet_o altogether_o as_o they_o depend_v one_o upon_o another_o be_v save_v and_o

himself_o yes_o sure_a for_o he_o add_v i_o hold_v no_o such_o opinion_n but_o do_v believe_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n many_o true_a church_n and_o a_o true_a

to_o offend_v again_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n it_o be_v but_o once_o and_o your_o lordship_n will_v consider_v the_o occasion_n in_o this_o suit_n be_v there_o need_v i_o will_v join_v with_o my_o lord_n for_o though_o i_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hard_a measure_n put_v upon_o i_o in_o this_o speech_n yet_o i_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v content_a with_o it_o because_o this_o whole_a discourse_n of_o my_o lord_n well_o weigh_v be_v more_o against_o himself_o then_o i_o and_o such_o trouble_v of_o his_o lordship_n i_o hope_v all_o man_n well_o affect_v to_o the_o present_a church_n of_o england_n will_v easy_o pardon_v and_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o lordship_n and_o all_o man_n else_o will_v the_o rather_o do_v when_o they_o consider_v the_o occasion_n which_o certain_o i_o give_v not_o personal_o in_o the_o house_n but_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n it_o seem_v will_v needs_o be_v mean_v the_o second_o request_n be_v to_o entreat_v of_o you_o that_o where_o you_o know_v there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n worship_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n embrace_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n work_v love_n and_o cause_v a_o unblamable_a

thrust_v out_o of_o the_o land_n and_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n for_o if_o you_o thus_o shall_v wound_v the_o conscience_n of_o your_o brethren_n you_o will_v certain_o offend_v and_o sin_n against_o christ._n in_o this_o second_o request_n i_o can_v easy_o agree_v with_o my_o lord_n in_o some_o thing_n but_o must_v differ_v in_o other_o and_o first_o i_o agree_v with_o all_o my_o 1._o heart_n that_o i_o will_v have_v no_o pressure_n at_o all_o much_o less_o cut_v off_o from_o their_o native_a country_n put_v upon_o they_o who_o be_v know_v to_o worship_v the_o same_o
