if_o not_o a_o impossible_a design_n for_o a_o few_o man_n not_o of_o the_o great_a quality_n to_o introduce_v a_o popular_a government_n against_o the_o king_n and_o his_o party_n against_o the_o

have_v be_v accustom_v for_o so_o many_o age_n to_o a_o monarchical_a government_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o they_o will_v but_o consider_v that_o those_o of_o their_o party_n have_v no_o particular_a obligation_n to_o the_o crown_n as_o many_o of_o the_o presbyterian_o have_v and_o therefore_o ought_v less_o to_o despair_n of_o his_o majesty_n grace_n and_o favour_n that_o the_o presbyter_n begin_v this_o war_n upon_o specious_a pretence_n of_o make_v the_o king_n a_o glorious_a king_n that_o under_o that_o pretext_n they_o have_v deceive_v many_o well-meaning_a man_n and_o

ancient_a right_n which_o will_v so_o ingratiate_v they_o with_o both_o that_o they_o will_v voluntary_o invest_v they_o with_o as_o much_o trust_n and_o power_n as_o subject_n be_v capable_a of_o whereas_o if_o they_o grasp_v more_o it_o will_v be_v with_o the_o general_a hatred_n and_o their_o own_o destruction_n to_o this_o discourse_n of_o i_o they_o only_o give_v a_o hear_v but_o no_o
