tendency_n can_v in_o reason_n be_v expect_v from_o parliament_n without_o secure_v the_o throne_n for_o if_o the_o conspirator_n once_o gain_v that_o it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v have_v no_o parliament_n a_o government_n more_o arbitrary_a and_o violent_a be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o their_o principle_n and_o design_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o popery_n as_o it_o have_v be_v by_o many_o occasion_n sublimate_v since_o the_o reformation_n have_v in_o a_o manner_n quite_o stifle_v the_o english_a spirit_n in_o english_a papist_n they_o be_v for_o another_o government_n in_o which_o the_o pope_n must_v be_v supreme_a and_o to_o which_o our_o king_n must_v be_v subject_v or_o kill_v and_o in_o civil_n they_o be_v for_o a_o universal_a monarchy_n by_o which_o this_o and_o other_o must_v be_v swallow_v up_o and_o so_o they_o be_v still_o ready_a to_o devote_v themselves_o to_o that_o prince_n who_o bid_v fair_a for_o it_o so_o they_o do_v to_o the_o spaniard_n in_o queen_n elizabeth_n time_n and_o now_o upon_o that_o account_n be_v wheel_v off_o to_o the_o french_a they_o have_v be_v forward_o upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o sacrifice_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a to_o the_o roman_a moloch_n they_o be_v much_o more_o his_o subject_n than_o the_o king_n and_o they_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v trust_v as_o to_o the_o

interest_n affection_n and_o design_n we_o may_v well_o believe_v on_o these_o account_n they_o be_v no_o friend_n to_o parliament_n if_o they_o do_v not_o otherwise_o open_o declare_v it_o but_o if_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o affair_n shall_v require_v a_o parliament_n there_o be_v no_o great_a question_n but_o they_o may_v get_v such_o a_o one_o as_o will_v serve_v their_o turn_n for_o so_o
