question_n of_o common_a right_n proper_a and_o necessary_a to_o be_v consider_v by_o all_o knight_n gentleman_n freeholders_n and_o commoner_n of_o england_n and_o especial_o those_o of_o the_o honourable_a profession_n of_o the_o law_n the_o true_a english_a government_n excellent_o compose_v of_o the_o three_o simple_a species_n monarchy_n aristocracy_n and_o democracy_n i_o have_v long_o think_v and_o still_o think_v to_o be_v in_o its_o constitution_n one_o of_o the_o best_a government_n in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o more_o excellent_a in_o itself_o than_o well_o accommodate_v to_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o people_n and_o which_o be_v but_o the_o consequence_n of_o these_o most_o easy_a to_o be_v exercise_v this_o i_o think_v very_o true_a though_o it_o have_v already_o within_o our_o memory_n suffer_v such_o dismal_a concussion_n and_o confusion_n and_o in_o my_o apprehension_n be_v in_o in_o so_o great_a danger_n of_o more_o as_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o truth_n in_o it_o but_o this_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o constitution_n but_o from_o other_o cause_n whereof_o one_o be_v secret_a the_o judgement_n of_o god_n for_o a_o secret_a root_n of_o bitterness_n little_o regard_v by_o those_o who_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o skilful_a in_o discern_v and_o most_o active_a in_o amend_v such_o matter_n but_o there_o be_v other_o manifest_n enough_o one_o be_v a_o general_n corruption_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o people_n another_o notorious_a corruption_n of_o their_o deputy_n and_o representative_n both_o in_o manner_n in_o general_a and_o in_o respect_n of_o justice_n and_o the_o trust_v repose_v in_o they_o in_o which_o respect_n i_o have_v know_v some_o of_o themselves_o laugh_v and_o say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o true_a representative_n of_o the_o nation_n indeed_o and_o though_o this_o of_o itself_o have_v a_o tendence_n to_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o government_n yet_o there_o be_v another_o more_o dangerous_a than_o this_o if_o it_o be_v not_o look_v to_o in_o time_n and_o that_o be_v by_o popular_a faction_n for_o as_o monarchy_n be_v apt_a to_o degenerate_v into_o tyranny_n so_o democracy_n be_v as_o apt_a to_o be_v dissolve_v by_o faction_n and_o though_o in_o the_o english_a constitution_n there_o be_v as_o good_a provision_n against_o both_o these_o as_o humane_a affair_n be_v capable_a of_o yet_o be_v the_o part_n of_o which_o it_o be_v constitute_v subject_a in_o some_o sort_n to_o the_o corruption_n of_o those_o simple_a species_n from_o which_o they_o be_v derive_v what_o be_v it_o but_o a_o secret_a faction_n in_o the_o long_a parliament_n which_o first_o cast_v out_o the_o bishop_n as_o popish_o affect_v than_o the_o lord_n as_o useless_a and_o dangerous_a than_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o commons_o except_o themselves_o common_o call_v the_o rump_n then_o cut_v off_o the_o king_n head_n and_o bring_v all_o into_o such_o confusion_n as_o can_v never_o be_v settle_v until_o the_o old_a form_n be_v restore_v again_o what_o be_v it_o but_o a_o faction_n which_o by_o no_o less_o than_o three_o several_a act_n of_o parliament_n engage_v the_o clergy_n the_o corporation_n the_o militia_n and_o all_o the_o great_a officer_n and_o magistrate_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o such_o declaration_n as_o justify_v or_o excuse_v the_o adversary_n of_o the_o late_a revolution_n and_o make_v the_o severity_n against_o they_o and_o pretence_n of_o forfeiture_n inexcusable_a unjust_a and_o unreasonable_a what_o be_v it_o but_o a_o faction_n which_o have_v presume_v with_o so_o much_o insolence_n to_o offer_v such_o indignity_n to_o a_o prince_n of_o so_o great_a courage_n and_o conduct_n as_o have_v be_v common_o believe_v and_o talk_v to_o have_v be_v on_o purpose_n to_o affront_v he_o how_o near_o have_v such_o faction_n go_v to_o enslave_v the_o nation_n and_o set_v up_o the_o monarchy_n to_o be_v absolute_a and_o arbitrary_a and_o how_o fair_o have_v they_o begin_v to_o pull_v down_o that_o and_o the_o aristrocratical_a part_n and_o set_v up_o the_o democracy_n or_o themselves_o and_o they_o know_v not_o what_o or_o rather_o to_o introduce_v a_o anarchy_n and_o turn_v all_o into_o the_o like_a confusion_n again_o what_o such_o thing_n may_v come_v to_o in_o time_n if_o neglect_v no_o man_n know_v but_o what_o may_v be_v do_v to_o prevent_v the_o mischief_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v consider_v miscarriage_n of_o jury_n may_v be_v inquire_v into_o and_o what_o be_v do_v amiss_o in_o one_o parliament_n may_v be_v rectify_v in_o another_o and_o where_o there_o be_v manifest_o a_o trust_v repose_v and_o so_o great_a a_o trust_n it_o will_v be_v such_o a_o fault_n in_o this_o constitution_n as_o i_o never_o suspect_v if_o it_o may_v be_v falsify_v in_o such_o matter_n as_o these_o and_o without_o remedy_n i_o have_v therefore_o think_v fit_a to_o propose_v the_o follow_a question_n to_o the_o consideration_n of_o all_o person_n concern_v who_o think_v fit_a to_o concern_v themselves_o with_o they_o but_o into_o so_o great_a degeneracy_n corruption_n of_o manner_n and_o audacious_a impiety_n be_v this_o nation_n sink_v thar_z it_o be_v rare_a to_o meet_v with_o man_n who_o dare_v to_o do_v their_o duty_n or_o so_o much_o as_o assert_v their_o common_a right_n or_o the_o very_a religion_n they_o profess_v notwithstanding_o the_o law_n both_o of_o god_n and_o man_n on_o their_o side_n and_o even_o where_o they_o have_v not_o only_o the_o great_a obligation_n but_o the_o great_a privilege_n to_o do_v it_o that_o can_v be_v this_o be_v manifest_a beyond_o all_o contradiction_n by_o some_o late_a action_n of_o great_a insolence_n and_o no_o less_o impiety_n so_o that_o unless_o another_o parliament_n and_o a_o convocation_n of_o the_o clergy_n take_v the_o matter_n into_o good_a consideration_n and_o provide_v a_o speedy_a remedy_n there_o be_v great_a danger_n that_o the_o whole_a nation_n will_v speedy_o fall_v into_o great_a confusion_n the_o question_n be_v these_o i._o whether_o the_o several_a member_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o be_v not_o authorize_v to_o sit_v and_o act_n there_o by_o
