plot_n but_o not_o the_o whole_a the_o second_o from_o their_o own_o good_a nature_n and_o clemency_n the_o three_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o evidence_n and_o the_o four_o from_o the_o nature_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o pretend_a conspiration_n to_o begin_v then_o with_o the_o first_o when_o the_o prince_n have_v be_v make_v acquaint_v with_o the_o design_n of_o introduce_v a_o new_a government_n or_o new_a religion_n but_o not_o with_o the_o design_n of_o take_v away_o his_o own_o life_n this_o sometime_o have_v prevail_v with_o he_o not_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o same_o party_n with_o who_o he_o himself_o be_v in_o a_o conspiracy_n shall_v have_v any_o such_o other_o plot_n against_o his_o life_n but_o this_o i_o hope_n be_v not_o our_o case_n for_o that_o no_o religion_n or_o government_n can_v be_v so_o much_o for_o his_o majesty_n advantage_n as_o that_o which_o be_v establish_v among_o we_o since_o in_o popery_n although_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v make_v absolute_a over_o his_o subject_n yet_o his_o slavery_n to_o the_o pope_n will_v be_v so_o great_a that_o as_o well_o his_o liberty_n as_o his_o revenue_n will_v be_v much_o less_o than_o now_o for_o beside_o the_o vast_a sum_n of_o money_n that_o will_v then_o go_v from_o the_o exchequer_n to_o the_o church_n i_o dare_v bold_o affirm_v that_o have_v his_o majesty_n be_v never_o so_o absolute_a he_o can_v not_o in_o this_o time_n have_v squeeze_v more_o money_n from_o the_o subject_a than_o he_o have_v already_o receive_v in_o tax_n since_o his_o come_n in_o and_o that_o must_v have_v be_v do_v by_o a_o stand_a army_n which_o will_v make_v he_o odious_a and_o eat_v up_o half_a his_o profit_n it_o be_v policy_n in_o the_o prince_n not_o to_o take_v away_o all_o at_o one_o but_o to_o leave_v a_o nest-egg_n if_o he_o design_v they_o shall_v lay_v again_o but_o for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o ever_o read_v our_o chronicle_n will_v find_v that_o no_o schoolboy_n have_v be_v great_a slave_n to_o their_o master_n than_o many_o of_o our_o english_a king_n be_v to_o the_o pope_n and_o those_o who_o be_v above_o his_o discipline_n the_o romish_a church_n ever_o find_v some_o way_n or_o other_o to_o cut_v he_o off_o either_o by_o set_v his_o own_o people_n against_o he_o as_o they_o do_v by_o king_n john_n or_o by_o some_o infallible_a catholic_n poison_n

see_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n prince_n live_v not_o so_o peaceable_o as_o now_o be_v please_v to_o observe_v that_o betwixt_o the_o conquest_n and_o our_o reformation_n seven_o of_o

raviliac_n or_o those_o many_o hundred_o example_n of_o this_o nature_n which_o i_o can_v produce_v out_o of_o other_o chronicle_n so_o that_o what_o ever_o prince_n consider_v these_o thing_n aright_o i_o think_v he_o can_v have_v no_o interest_n to_o introduce_v popery_n unless_o he_o desire_v either_o to_o be_v whip_v by_o a_o monk_n or_o stab_v or_o poison_v by_o a_o jesuit_n for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o be_v the_o jesuit_n that_o govern_v and_o not_o the_o king_n vi_o the_o second_o motive_n which_o may_v incline_v a_o prince_n to_o disbelieve_v the_o report_n of_o a_o plot_n be_v from_o his_o own_o good_a nature_n and_o clemency_n which_o make_v he_o not_o expect_v any_o ill_n from_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v be_v so_o kind_a but_o this_o be_v a_o fallacious_a way_n of_o argue_v for_o a_o prince_n who_o will_v preserve_v himself_o against_o conspiracy_n be_v to_o have_v a_o eye_n rather_o upon_o those_o he_o have_v oblige_v than_o those_o he_o have_v offend_v for_o those_o that_o be_v offend_v have_v not_o such_o frequent_a opportunity_n nor_o such_o easy_a access_n to_o he_o as_o the_o other_o have_v and_o for_o their_o disposition_n it_o be_v much_o alike_o the_o desire_n of_o dominion_n be_v as_o great_a if_o not_o great_a than_o the_o desire_n of_o revenge_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o where_o any_o great_a conspiracy_n have_v be_v make_v it_o have_v be_v most_o common_o begin_v by_o such_o as_o be_v most_o familiar_a with_o the_o prince_n and_o most_o in_o his_o favour_n for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o conspiracy_n of_o perennius_fw-la against_o commodus_n plautianus_n against_o severus_n sejanus_n against_o tiberius_n all_o which_o be_v favourite_n and_o high_o oblige_v by_o their_o several_a emperor_n so_o that_o

late_a popish_a army_n many_o of_o the_o officer_n and_o soldier_n have_v secret_a order_n not_o to_o sell_v their_o horse_n but_o to_o be_v in_o a_o readiness_n for_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v

the_o catholic_n party_n for_o first_o among_o foreigner_n and_o stranger_n who_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o the_o depth_n of_o their_o intrigue_n it_o seem_v to_o cast_v the_o plot_n upon_o the_o nonconformist_n and_o 2_o be_v beat_v by_o the_o king_n force_n whereof_o no_o other_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v it_o may_v make_v both_o they_o and_o we_o less_o apt_a to_o rise_v upon_o any_o account_n whatsoever_o but_o here_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o present_v you_o with_o one_o observation_n which_o be_v that_o if_o this_o have_v be_v a_o fanatical_a plot_n the_o same_o party_n will_v certain_o have_v rise_v in_o england_n at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o their_o brethren_n of_o scotland_n be_v in_o arm_n the_o encourage_n of_o one_o another_o be_v of_o more_o consequence_n to_o both_o than_o the_o expectation_n of_o the_o other_o success_n iii_o after_o the_o catholic_n have_v thus_o bring_v the_o father_n head_n to_o the_o block_n and_o send_v the_o young_a prince_n into_o exile_n let_v we_o reflect_v upon_o their_o usage_n of_o they_o in_o france_n and_o see_v whether_o the_o kindness_n that_o the_o french_a catholic_n then_o pay_v to_o our_o king_n be_v sufficient_a to_o bring_v we_o into_o that_o misery_n wherein_o we_o be_v immerse_v by_o so_o entire_o espouse_v the_o french_a and_o papist_n cause_n even_o almost_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o ruin_n of_o all_o christendom_n beside_o do_v their_o banish_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o slight_v of_o he_o whilst_o he_o be_v among_o they_o deserve_v this_o kindness_n at_o our_o hand_n what_o charitable_a christian_n be_v we_o grow_v thus_o to_o return_v good_a for_o evil_n i_o must_v confess_v they_o do_v ever_o treat_v his_o r._n h._n with_o some_o respect_n as_o find_v he_o to_o retain_v more_o favourable_a inclination_n both_o towards_o their_o religion_n and_o government_n than_o his_o gracious_a majesty_n do_v who_o understanding_n and_o wit_n as_o it_o make_v he_o contemn_v their_o superstitious_a idolatry_n and_o foppery_n so_o do_v his_o lenity_n and_o good_a nature_n render_v their_o tyranny_n altogether_o odious_a in_o his_o sight_n beside_o if_o his_o majesty_n have_v then_o discover_v in_o himself_o the_o least_o inclination_n to_o popery_n it_o may_v in_o all_o probability_n have_v render_v the_o crown_n of_o england_n unaccessible_a however_o i_o can_v but_o ascribe_v great_a part_n of_o our_o present_a calamity_n to_o his_o highness_n education_n in_o that_o arbitrary_a and_o popish_a government_n with_o what_o eagerness_n have_v we_o assist_v they_o in_o their_o conquest_n even_o to_o the_o defamation_n of_o our_o own_o honour_n and_o violation_n of_o our_o public_a faith_n with_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o christendom_n we_o first_o make_v they_o a_o idol_n and_o now_o we_o worship_v it_o we_o first_o teach_v they_o the_o art_n of_o navigation_n and_o now_o be_v ready_a to_o strike_v sail_n to_o they_o ourselves_o not_o any_o new_a invention_n that_o be_v of_o use_n either_o in_o build_v ship_n or_o make_v ordnance_n can_v be_v discover_v here_o but_o immediate_o we_o charitable_a english_a for_o fear_n we_o

when_o by_o procure_v a_o general_a peace_n we_o have_v pluck_v the_o thorn_n out_o of_o their_o foot_n to_o put_v they_o in_o our_o own_o make_v a_o peace_n for_o they_o in_o order_n to_o bring_v a_o
