man_n i_o be_o speak_v of_o look_v upon_o himself_o in_o conscience_n oblige_v as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o fair_o lie_v to_o endeavour_v to_o repress_v the_o exorbitant_a growth_n of_o arbitrary_a power_n to_o stem_v the_o tide_n of_o tyranny_n superstition_n and_o idolatry_n when_o it_o begin_v to_o overflow_v the_o land_n and_o its_o furious_a wave_n attempt_v to_o undermine_v and_o bear_v down_o the_o true_a establish_a religion_n he_o profess_v which_o be_v dear_a to_o he_o than_o his_o life_n or_o any_o temporal_a concern_v for_o he_o think_v there_o be_v no_o just_a reason_n to_o expect_v that_o god_n shall_v work_v miracle_n to_o preserve_v a_o church_n and_o nation_n from_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n when_o other_o mean_n may_v be_v lawful_o use_v towards_o the_o resetle_v they_o upon_o their_o old_a foundation_n according_a to_o their_o ancient_n and_o legal_a constitution_n without_o their_o be_v concern_v in_o rebellion_n and_o here_o i_o have_v a_o fair_a occasion_n

they_o be_v engage_v against_o the_o unjust_a invasion_n and_o violent_a usurpation_n of_o the_o other_o who_o severe_a not_o to_o say_v inhuman_a usage_n of_o his_o own_o faithful_a and_o loyal_a subject_n many_o of_o who_o have_v oblige_v he_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o never_o disoblige_v he_o except_o when_o they_o can_v not_o comply_v with_o his_o unlawful_a command_n may_v teach_v we_o how_o he_o will_v deal_v with_o those_o of_o another_o nation_n if_o they_o once_o shall_v be_v so_o unhappy_a as_o to_o groan_v under_o his_o heavy_a yoke_n how_o will_v they_o then_o wish_v and_o sigh_v for_o that_o deliverer_n which_o too_o many_o now_o so_o light_o esteem_v if_o solemn_a oath_n and_o edict_n can_v not_o bind_v he_o from_o banish_v his_o own_o native_a subject_n from_o their_o habitation_n to_o seek_v their_o bread_n in_o foreign_a country_n because_o they_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v be_v papist_n how_o can_v we_o who_o of_o late_a have_v be_v the_o great_a thorn_n in_o his_o side_n by_o endeavour_v to_o stop_v the_o progress_n of_o his_o arm_n and_o curb_v his_o grow_v power_n who_o no_o doubt_n have_v exasperate_v he_o against_o we_o in_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a manner_n by_o burn_v and_o sink_v some_o of_o his_o capital_a ship_n can_v we_o i_o say_v who_o he_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o most_o formidable_a opposer_n of_o his_o design_n expect_v better_a and_o more_o favourable_a deal_n from_o he_o than_o they_o have_v meet_v with_o can_v we_o think_v we_o have_v oblige_v he_o as_o much_o as_o his_o own_o protestant_a subject_n have_v do_v who_o set_v the_o crown_n upon_o his_o head_n and_o all_o the_o world_n see_v how_o he_o have_v requite_v they_o for_o it_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o proceed_v either_o from_o want_n of_o due_a consideration_n o●_n a_o right_a understanding_n of_o affair_n to_o think_v that_o a_o monarch_n so_o much_o devote_v to_o his_o own_o interest_n shall_v be_v at_o this_o vast_a expense_n of_o money_n and_o loss_n of_o man_n bare_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o only_o reap_v the_o naked_a glory_n of_o restore_a a_o unfortunate_a desert_v and_o deserted_n prince_n without_o have_v any_o far_a design_n according_a to_o my_o shallow_a judgement_n in_o these_o matter_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v he_o have_v rather_o be_v a_o conqueror_n of_o a_o kingdom_n himself_o than_o restore_v another_o to_o it_o can_v we_o imagine_v he_o shall_v be_v touch_v with_o such_o a_o feel_a sense_n of_o honour_n or_o conscience_n as_o to_o impoverish_v his_o subject_n and_o weaken_v his_o force_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o re-enthroning_a one_o prince_n when_o he_o show_v no_o concern_v or_o tenderness_n of_o either_o in_o dispossess_v other_o be_v of_o his_o own_o religion_n too_o of_o their_o lawful_a and_o hereditary_a dominion_n why_o shall_v not_o the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n the_o elector_n palatine_n the_o emperor_n or_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v as_o dear_a to_o he_o as_o some_o body_n else_o and_o yet_o i_o be_o incline_v to_o believe_v if_o he_o have_v his_o will_n against_o the_o forementioned_a prince_n he_o will_v leave_v the_o glory_n of_o restore_a they_o to_o their_o dominion_n to_o some_o other_o potentate_n so_o that_o i_o must_v beg_v to_o be_v excuse_v if_o i_o can_v submit_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o man_n who_o have_v so_o good_a a_o opinion_n of_o he_o as_o to_o think_v he_o only_a design_n to_o do_v justice_n out_o of_o pure_a generosity_n by_o restore_a the_o late_a king_n and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v without_o be_v guilty_a of_o misapply_v my_o text_n or_o abuse_v scripture_n i_o may_v true_o say_v that_o our_o gracious_a and_o righteous_a king_n william_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o this_o his_o neighbour_a prince_n it_o can_v but_o be_v evident_a to_o a_o man_n of_o a_o unbiased_a judgement_n that_o our_o king_n seek_v to_o promote_v the_o public_a good_a not_o only_o of_o these_o kingdom_n but_o of_o all_o europe_n if_o he_o can_v have_v be_v so_o base_a as_o to_o have_v betray_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o country_n or_o so_o tame_a as_o only_o to_o have_v fat_a still_o whilst_o the_o french_a have_v overrun_v and_o subdue_v it_o he_o may_v have_v make_v what_o term_n he_o please_v for_o himself_o and_o have_v enjoy_v more_o ease_n and_o quiet_v than_o he_o now_o do_v but_o the_o safety_n and_o welfare_n of_o his_o country_n of_o which_o he_o have_v be_v a_o hereditary_a defender_n the_o liberty_n of_o all_o europe_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o than_o his_o own_o private_a interest_n and_o repese_n otherwise_o he_o will_v never_o have_v undertake_v so_o hazardous_a a_o attempt_n as_o be_v that_o of_o his_o come_n hither_o to_o secure_v and_o

manifest_v it_o to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v neither_o pride_n nor_o ambition_n nor_o love_v of_o ease_n and_o empire_n that_o prompt_v he_o to_o undertake_v our_o deliverance_n and_o

great_a fatigue_n imaginable_a in_o watch_n and_o tedious_a march_n and_o live_v in_o a_o continual_a hurry_n of_o business_n ever_o since_o man_n who_o only_o design_v their_o own_o profit_n and_o
