be_v more_o full_o detect_v to_o prevent_v great_a mischief_n for_o the_o future_a i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o explain_v some_o of_o those_o mysterious_a practice_n which_o be_v use_v at_o this_o day_n from_o their_o very_a original_a in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n james_n the_o first_o and_o then_o return_v to_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v further_o observe_v upon_o this_o vindication_n when_o that_o king_n after_o that_o horrid_a plot_n of_o the_o gunpowder_n treason_n be_v more_o terrify_v with_o the_o danger_n he_o have_v escape_v than_o animate_v by_o so_o great_a a_o deliverance_n to_o dependence_n upon_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n who_o preserve_v he_o which_o that_o deliverance_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n oblige_v he_o to_o desert_v that_o great_a duty_n and_o rely_v upon_o his_o own_o craft_n seek_v to_o secure_v himself_o and_o his_o own_o posterity_n by_o compliance_n and_o alliance_n with_o his_o enemy_n the_o papist_n like_o those_o who_o have_v recourse_n to_o witch_n and_o conjurer_n instead_o of_o that_o security_n he_o expect_v he_o involve_v himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n in_o such_o snare_n as_o be_v the_o real_a cause_n of_o all_o those_o evil_n which_o afterward_o befall_v they_o and_o out_o of_o which_o they_o can_v never_o after_o extricate_v themselves_o during_o the_o long_a and_o happy_a reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n who_o generous_o perform_v that_o great_a duty_n keep_v they_o at_o a_o distance_n all_o they_o can_v do_v be_v only_o to_o contrive_v secret_a plot_n against_o her_o person_n and_o foreign_a invasion_n and_o to_o sow_v seed_n of_o division_n in_o secret_a meeting_n all_o which_o that_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o which_o she_o confide_v dissipate_v and_o turn_v to_o their_o own_o confusion_n but_o when_o afterward_o they_o be_v favour_v and_o admit_v to_o a_o near_a converse_n with_o our_o prince_n statesman_n and_o bishop_n they_o present_o find_v their_o advantage_n to_o put_v in_o practice_n other_o policy_n of_o a_o more_o deep_a subtle_a and_o dangerous_a nature_n and_o under_o the_o cover_n of_o very_o plausible_a pretence_n whereby_o they_o and_o their_o venom_n may_v insinuate_v the_o deep_a these_o be_v principal_o three_o 1._o to_o change_v the_o government_n and_o make_v it_o arbitrary_a and_o absolute_a in_o the_o prince_n 2._o to_o raise_v and_o heighten_v division_n 3._o to_o corrupt_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o nation_n 1._o to_o endeavour_v a_o change_n of_o the_o government_n they_o see_v several_a reason_n 1._o they_o plain_o see_v it_o to_o be_v utter_o unpracticable_a to_o deal_v with_o the_o other_o two_o estate_n to_o introduce_v their_o religion_n 2._o they_o also_o understand_v very_o well_o that_o such_o endeavour_n may_v be_v so_o manage_v as_o to_o ingratiate_v they_o with_o the_o prince_n and_o many_o of_o the_o courtier_n minister_n of_o state_n and_o of_o the_o aspire_a clergy_n 3._o they_o also_o foresee_v that_o by_o sligh_o insinuate_v into_o the_o prince_n and_o his_o favourite_n and_o flatterer_n such_o matter_n as_o tend_v to_o this_o they_o shall_v also_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n promote_v their_o other_o design_n of_o raise_v division_n between_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o people_n 2._o to_o raise_v and_o heighten_v division_n they_o easy_o see_v will_v not_o only_o weaken_v and_o dissolve_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o will_v also_o give_v they_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n to_o shelter_v themselves_o under_o one_o party_n or_o other_o as_o they_o shall_v see_v occasion_n these_o advantage_n they_o may_v expect_v by_o civil_a dissension_n and_o these_o and_o some_o more_o by_o division_n also_o about_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o they_o industrious_o promote_v both_o 3._o and_o to_o corrupt_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o nation_n they_o may_v expect_v will_v give_v they_o these_o advantage_n 1._o it_o will_v weaken_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o nation_n make_v man_n more_o inconsiderate_a and_o careless_a of_o any_o public_a concern_v and_o indispose_v they_o for_o either_o prudent_a counsel_n or_o generous_a action_n 2._o it_o will_v make_v they_o more_o indifferent_a in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o less_o apt_a to_o give_v they_o any_o disturbance_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o their_o design_n 3._o and_o this_o indifference_n will_v dispose_v they_o to_o the_o more_o easy_a admission_n of_o they_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v seasonable_o and_o prudent_o propose_v to_o they_o under_o some_o plausible_a pretence_n these_o be_v the_o principal_a of_o their_o policy_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o they_o which_o be_v rational_a enough_o though_o it_o please_v god_n who_o have_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n at_o his_o disposal_n by_o his_o overrule_a providence_n in_o his_o own_o time_n to_o defeat_v they_o all_o but_o the_o contrivance_n method_n and_o particular_a practice_n which_o they_o use_v for_o the_o promotion_n of_o these_o policy_n and_o design_n be_v too_o many_o to_o be_v here_o discover_v nor_o be_v that_o my_o business_n at_o this_o time_n i_o shall_v therefore_o only_o take_v notice_n of_o such_o as_o be_v pertinent_a to_o the_o present_a occasion_n that_o be_v such_o as_o aspire_a courtier_n and_o clergyman_n join_v with_o they_o in_o though_o for_o different_a end_n of_o their_o own_o and_o such_o as_o we_o have_v still_o reason_n to_o beware_v of_o such_o as_o these_o 1._o magnify_v the_o regal_a power_n upon_o false_a principle_n beyond_o its_o true_a bound_n according_a to_o the_o english_a
