to_o the_o be_v of_o the_o government_n therefore_o it_o may_v not_o be_v impertinent_a as_o i_o conceive_v at_o this_o time_n to_o say_v something_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o government_n and_o

of_o that_o which_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o supreme_a authority_n or_o power_n in_o england_n many_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n have_v write_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o government_n and_o

huge_a and_o indigested_a lump_n of_o a_o multitude_n and_o to_o bring_v all_o disorder_n into_o proportion_n so_o as_o to_o become_v a_o harmony_n several_a other_o have_v speak_v to_o the_o same_o

to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o every_o government_n 2._o that_o in_o every_o government_n there_o be_v some_o particular_a principle_n that_o run_v through_o the_o whole_a scheme_n of_o that_o constitution_n and_o as_o that_o principle_n be_v follow_v or_o neglect_v so_o according_o it_o go_v well_o or_o ill_o with_o the_o public_a that_o be_v when_o those_o who_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o executive_a power_n do_v pursue_v that_o principle_n every_o thing_n move_v regular_o and_o the_o government_n be_v firm_a and_o stable_a but_o when_o they_o steer_v by_o any_o other_o measure_n the_o state_n do_v unavoidaby_n fall_v into_o disorder_n and_o convulsion_n so_o that_o whoever_o he_o be_v that_o be_v place_v at_o the_o head_n of_o the_o government_n if_o he_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o heart_n and_o prayer_n of_o his_o people_n whilst_o he_o live_v and_o that_o after-age_n shall_v bless_v his_o memory_n it_o be_v necessary_a 1._o that_o in_o general_a he_o resolve_v to_o govern_v well_o and_o 2._o thorough_o and_o right_o to_o apprise_n himself_o of_o that_o principle_n that_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o government_n or_o at_o least_o that_o he_o be_v advise_v by_o such_o as_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o know_v it_o and_o will_v give_v he_o faithful_a counsel_n otherwise_o he_o will_v be_v like_o a_o traveller_n that_o in_o the_o night_n miss_v his_o way_n upon_o some_o large_a plain_n wander_v he_o know_v not_o whither_o and_o be_v more_o like_a to_o meet_v with_o some_o disaster_n than_o to_o find_v his_o way_n have_v say_v this_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o you_o to_o expect_v that_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o what_o that_o principle_n be_v which_o be_v the_o life_n and_o foundation_n of_o this_o government_n if_o i_o be_o not_o much_o mistake_v and_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o here_o i_o be_o not_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v this_o 1._o that_o every_o subject_a of_o england_n have_v so_o clear_a a_o property_n in_o his_o life_n good_n and_o estate_n and_o every_o thing_n else_o which_o he_o lawful_o possess_v that_o they_o nor_o any_o of_o they_o can_v be_v take_v from_o he_o nor_o ought_v he_o to_o be_v disturb_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o without_o his_o voluntary_a consent_n or_o for_o some_o offence_n against_o the_o law_n 2._o and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o failure_n of_o justice_n that_o be_v that_o no_o man_n be_v leave_v without_o remedy_n where_o his_o right_n be_v concern_v and_o that_o every_o criminal_a be_v punish_v according_a to_o the_o demerit_n of_o his_o offence_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o every_o man_n will_v think_v that_o this_o be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o natural_a reason_n and_o then_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o it_o can_v be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o crown_n though_o i_o know_v that_o not_o very_o long_o since_o and_o i_o fear_v yet_o there_o be_v some_o who_o carry_v the_o prerogative_n much_o high_a than_o it_o ought_v in_o place_v it_o above_o the_o law_n but_o nothing_o save_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o time_n and_o the_o depravity_n of_o such_o man_n manner_n can_v support_v or_o give_v countenance_n to_o so_o senseless_a a_o thought_n for_o they_o be_v very_o ignorant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o prerogative_n if_o they_o think_v it_o be_v a_o power_n to_o do_v hurt_v and_o not_o to_o do_v good_a certain_o the_o king_n prerogative_n be_v to_o help_v and_o relieve_v the_o people_n where_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o law_n be_v too_o sharp_a and_o keen_a and_o not_o a_o power_n by_o which_o he_o may_v oppress_v and_o destroy_v his_o subject_n man_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o a_o power_n that_o be_v guide_v by_o reason_n unless_o we_o can_v suppose_v that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o understanding_n and_o be_v of_o no_o great_a value_n than_o the_o beast_n that_o perish_v it_o be_v say_v by_o one_o who_o be_v a_o very_a competent_a judge_n in_o the_o case_n as_o i_o remember_v it_o be_v sir_n john_n fortescue_n that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a power_n in_o a_o prince_n to_o be_v restrain_v by_o law_n from_o oppress_v than_o to_o have_v a_o absolute_a regal_a power_n and_o say_v another_o the_o way_n of_o govern_v must_v be_v both_o right_a and_o clear_a as_o well_o as_o be_v the_o end_n and_o how_o this_o can_v be_v expect_v when_o a_o king_n be_v guide_v by_o no_o other_o rule_n than_o that_o of_o his_o unbounded_a will_n and_o pleasure_n i_o do_v not_o see_v any_o more_o than_o a_o man_n can_v depend_v upon_o the_o wether_n do_v not_o all_o example_n of_o it_o that_o ever_o be_v prove_v that_o absolute_a power_n and_o oppression_n be_v inseparable_a and_o as_o natural_o proceed_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o as_o the_o effect_n do_v from_o the_o cause_n it_o be_v a_o riddle_n to_o i_o how_o that_o prince_n can_v be_v call_v god_n ordinance_n who_o assume_v a_o power_n above_o what_o the_o law_n have_v invest_v he_o with_o and_o use_v it_o to_o the_o grieve_v and_o oppress_v of_o his_o subject_n may_v not_o the_o plague_n famine_n or_o sword_n as_o well_o be_v call_v god_n ordinance_n since_o one_o no_o less_o than_o the_o other_o be_v send_v by_o he_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o that_o people_n who_o he_o so_o visit_n we_o may_v reasonable_o suppose_v that_o order_n and_o peace_n be_v much_o rather_o the_o end_n of_o government_n than_o oppression_n and_o violence_n because_o god_n be_v a_o god_n of_o order_n and_o when_o he_o send_v the_o great_a blessing_n upon_o earth_n it_o be_v peace_n and_o though_o god_n be_v often_o very_o wroth_a with_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n for_o their_o idolatry_n yet_o the_o innocent_a blood_n they_o shed_v and_o the_o violence_n and_o oppression_n which_o they_o commit_v provoke_v he_o more_o high_o and_o with_o his_o severe_a judgement_n he_o always_o testify_v his_o displeasure_n against_o it_o i_o can_v run_v out_o into_o a_o large_a discourse_n upon_o this_o

those_o who_o take_v offence_n at_o the_o late_a act_n of_o indulgence_n which_o tend_v so_o much_o to_o our_o peace_n by_o quiet_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n as_o to_o their_o religion_n which_o have_v ever_o be_v the_o handle_n to_o our_o intestine_a trouble_n the_o incendiary_n of_o the_o state_n have_v ever_o make_v use_n of_o it_o as_o the_o best_a pretence_n to_o embroyl_n the_o nation_n and_o therefore_o i_o for_o my_o part_n do_v think_v that_o the_o act_n of_o indulgence_n be_v a_o necessary_a and_o pious_a work_n and_o can_v imagine_v why_o any_o man_n shall_v think_v that_o to_o be_v a_o disservice_n to_o the_o church_n that_o tend_v to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o nation_n they_o who_o do_v so_o i_o must_v believe_v be_v not_o much_o concern_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o chureh_n and_o their_o country_n and_o care_v not_o what_o be_v uppermost_a provide_v they_o can_v but_o make_v fair_a wether_n for_o themselves_o therefore_o gentleman_n if_o any_o speak_v to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o the_o act_n of_o indulgence_n you_o ought_v to_o present_v they_o as_o disaffect_v to_o the_o government_n and_o sower_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o division_n in_o the_o state_n but_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v right_o understand_v i_o do_v not_o say_v this_o to_o dissuade_v any_o man_n from_o come_v to_o the_o church_n for_o i_o go_v constant_o thither_o myself_o and_o i_o wish_v every_o body_n can_v do_v it_o as_o easy_o as_o i_o do_v and_o i_o wonder_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o i_o never_o yet_o hear_v any_o good_a reason_n for_o the_o practise_v the_o contrary_a yet_o i_o think_v unless_o a_o man_n be_v satisfy_v in_o that_o way_n of_o worship_n it_o be_v better_a to_o keep_v away_o than_o to_o come_v for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v to_o mock_v and_o not_o to_o serve_v god_n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v no_o less_o a_o mock_n of_o god_n when_o a_o man_n from_o a_o over-assurance_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o prayer_n shall_v adventure_v to_o pray_v in_o public_a without_o have_v beforehand_o well_o digest_v his_o matter_n and_o word_n and_o therefore_o may_v happen_v to_o let_v fall_v crude_a and_o nautious_a expression_n such_o as_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a in_o private_a conversation_n for_o i_o be_o far_o from_o believe_v that_o nonsense_n can_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o fervency_n but_o rather_o of_o affectation_n or_o something_o that_o be_v very_o reprovable_a and_o here_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o or_o improper_a to_o take_v notice_n of_o those_o person_n who_o go_v to_o no_o church_n at_o all_o but_o spend_v the_o lord_n day_n common_o call_v sunday_n as_o the_o statute_n have_v it_o in_o a_o alehouse_n or_o otherwise_o idle_a it_o away_o very_o unprofitable_o against_o such_o as_o these_o be_v that_o law_n of_o twelvepence_n a_o sunday_n intend_v and_o be_v it_o due_o put_v in_o execution_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o that_o dishonour_n that_o be_v do_v to_o god_n by_o such_o profanation_n will_v be_v prevent_v and_o the_o poor_a will_v be_v relieve_v with_o less_o charge_n to_o their_o respective_a parish_n i_o wonder_v the_o petty_a constable_n be_v not_o more_o careful_a to_o make_v true_a presentment_n at_o every_o petty_a session_n of_o those_o who_o herein_o offend_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o their_o own_o interest_n be_v so_o near_o i_o may_v say_v so_o immediate_o concern_v the_o next_o thing_n i_o will_v recommend_v to_o you_o be_v as_o far_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v to_o suppress_v that_o horrible_a sin_n of_o customary_a swear_v whereby_o the_o tremendous_a name_n of_o god_n be_v every_o day_n blaspheme_v it_o be_v too_o true_a that_o scarce_o any_o man_n when_o provoke_v or_o in_o passion_n have_v guard_n enough_o over_o himself_o to_o prevent_v his_o take_v the_o holy_a name_n of_o god_n into_o his_o mouth_n and_o if_o any_o of_o we_o fall_v into_o that_o sad_a misfortune_n we_o ought_v solemn_o to_o beg_v forgiveness_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o that_o whereby_o god_n honour_n suffer_v most_o be_v customary_a swear_v when_o man_n do_v not_o think_v they_o express_v themselves_o handsome_o without_o a_o horrible_a oath_n or_o more_o to_o

of_o you_o gentlemen_z but_o will_v be_v very_o angry_a to_o have_v your_o own_o name_n use_v upon_o every_o slight_a and_o trivial_a occasion_n and_o if_o so_o i_o will_v not_o imagine_v that_o you_o will_v be_v less_o concern_v for_o god_n honour_n than_o for_o your_o own_o it_o be_v a_o shameful_a thing_n to_o see_v how_o very_a much_o the_o high_a way_n be_v general_o neglect_v and_o out_o of_o
