disloyalty_n to_o the_o king_n though_o there_o be_v not_o a_o instance_n of_o more_o wretched_a and_o fulsome_a hypocrisy_n in_o the_o world_n 3._o another_o cause_n perhaps_o may_v be_v the_o

of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o sad_a and_o evil_a return_n i_o confess_v that_o king_n have_v for_o all_o their_o labour_n and_o trouble_v their_o watch_n and_o care_n but_o it_o be_v such_o as_o consider_v the_o lust_n of_o man_n they_o will_v never_o miss_v of_o and_o therefore_o the_o divine_a providence_n be_v the_o greatly_o concern_v for_o they_o and_o know_v their_o danger_n do_v more_o careful_o guard_v and_o super-intend_a they_o just_a as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o just_a and_o good_a man_n if_o god_n permit_v evil_n to_o haunt_v they_o or_o overtake_v they_o he_o either_o double_v his_o care_n or_o their_o comfort_n as_o their_o trouble_n abound_v so_o their_o consolation_n from_o god_n abound_v also_o so_o it_o be_v that_o in_o this_o case_n the_o more_o dangerous_a and_o

providence_n to_o who_o i_o have_v promise_v to_o remark_n in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v plain_a how_o all_o these_o reason_n concentre_v in_o our_o case_n never_o do_v a_o nation_n enjoy_v

be_v people_n more_o happy_a than_o we_o may_v be_v under_o he_o if_o we_o please_v and_o be_v not_o the_o fault_n our_o own_o never_o be_v it_o more_o remarkable_o true_a that_o the_o power_n that_o be_v over_o we_o be_v set_v over_o we_o by_o god_n then_o in_o our_o case_n his_o restauration_n be_v a_o miracle_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o the_o world_n never_o have_v a_o prince_n a_o hard_a task_n than_o we_o have_v have_v come_v to_o govern_v a_o people_n that_o be_v not_o only_o to_o their_o shame_n say_v to_o be_v more_o ungovernable_a more_o fickle_a and_o changeable_a than_o other_o nation_n but_o be_v break_v into_o faction_n and_o difference_n and_o leven_v with_o the_o loose_a principle_n of_o rebellion_n and_o usurpation_n as_o we_o be_v and_o we_o see_v how_o close_o these_o tincture_n and_o ill_a principle_n yet_o stick_v to_o too_o many_o man_n mind_n and_o that_o length_n of_o time_n heighten_v and_o rankle_v they_o rather_o than_o heal_v and_o carry_v they_o off_o and_o i_o will_v it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v as_o true_o too_o that_o never_o be_v a_o prince_n expose_v to_o more_o danger_n and_o trouble_n than_o he_o have_v be_v for_o shall_v we_o recollect_v the_o past_a passage_n of_o his_o life_n and_o sober_o make_v remark_n upon_o the_o same_o i_o do_v not_o well_o know_v whether_o we_o shall_v more_o admire_v his_o fate_n and_o wonder_v that_o so_o many_o danger_n and_o adversity_n shall_v concentre_v to_o spend_v their_o spite_n against_o one_o man_n or_o that_o providence_n and_o care_n of_o almighty_a god_n that_o have_v still_o bring_v he_o through_o and_o deliver_v he_o out_o of_o they_o all_o i_o have_v a_o copious_a theme_n here_o before_o i_o and_o shall_v i_o enter_v upon_o it_o can_v not_o want_v matter_n for_o a_o long_a

of_o breath_n soon_o than_o exhaust_v the_o subject_n but_o i_o must_v forbear_v this_o now_o out_o of_o a_o necessary_a respect_n to_o the_o time_n and_o your_o patience_n and_o i_o do_v it_o with_o the_o less_o regret_n and_o the_o more_o content_o because_o it_o be_v a_o know_a subject_n in_o which_o every_o one_o that_o hear_v i_o can_v prevent_v i_o and_o enlarge_v it_o sufficient_o himself_o and_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o occasion_n ever_o long_o public_o to_o do_v the_o same_o so_o great_a a_o mercy_n will_v not_o pass_v i_o hope_v without_o a_o public_a and_o
