claudian_n yet_o their_o stiffness_n herein_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o happiness_n which_o he_o describe_v as_o peculiar_a to_o the_o man_n that_o never_o go_v beyond_o his_o parish-bound_n these_o be_v their_o sentiment_n and_o so_o you_o must_v look_v out_o for_o other_o method_n to_o supply_v the_o militia_n to_o have_v they_o useful_a one_o project_n be_v that_o out_o of_o the_o disband_v force_n man_n may_v be_v procure_v to_o enter_v your_o service_n but_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o a_o plain_a question_n what_o reason_n have_v i_o to_o venture_v my_o arm_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o man_n you_o dare_v not_o trust_v or_o what_o better_a security_n can_v i_o have_v that_o one_o who_o proffer_v i_o his_o service_n and_o be_v a_o stranger_n will_v be_v more_o for_o my_o dear_a property_n than_o if_o he_o be_v list_a in_o a_o stand_a force_n and_o so_o to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n this_o constitution_n must_v either_o ruin_v the_o army_n or_o the_o army_n ruin_v the_o constitution_n which_o be_v offer_v a_o violence_n to_o nature_n he_o go_v on_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o wherever_o the_o militia_n be_v there_o be_v or_o will_v be_v the_o government_n in_o a_o short_a time_n i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o dogmatical_a as_o to_o prescribe_v to_o my_o better_n but_o if_o you_o will_v procure_v a_o interest_n to_o bring_v in_o a_o bill_n to_o make_v the_o militia_n useful_a those_o who_o send_v man_n to_o it_o will_v be_v please_v with_o the_o project_n to_o have_v the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o country_n without_o the_o addition_n of_o inferior_a officer_n to_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o king_n and_o the_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a which_o be_v this_o it_o be_v common_o a_o trust_n which_o divers_a lieutenant_n of_o county_n have_v to_o serve_v as_o representative_n in_o parliament_n either_o for_o the_o county_n or_o some_o burrough-town_n to_o which_o they_o may_v be_v neighbour_n now_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o a_o gentleman_n have_v a_o great_a regard_n to_o the_o county_n of_o his_o nativity_n than_o a_o stranger_n can_v be_v presume_v to_o have_v and_o those_o who_o they_o muster_v in_o order_n to_o make_v useful_a will_v with_o great_a alacrity_n undergo_v the_o fatigue_n of_o learn_v the_o military_a art_n when_o many_o of_o those_o under_o who_o they_o serve_v have_v their_o vote_n and_o their_o interest_n to_o send_v they_o to_o parliament_n they_o will_v then_o have_v more_o patience_n to_o learn_v what_o a_o stranger_n may_v by_o blow_n endeavour_v to_o insinuate_v so_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a it_o appear_v plain_a that_o those_o who_o fear_v arbitrary_a power_n aught_o to_o find_v out_o mean_v to_o put_v this_o project_n in_o practice_n but_o perhaps_o a_o man_n may_v object_v against_o this_o proposition_n though_o i_o may_v think_v it_o fair_a he_o may_v perhaps_o say_v it_o give_v too_o much_o authority_n to_o the_o people_n and_o may_v prove_v detrimental_a to_o future_a prince_n shall_v the_o commons_o not_o approve_v of_o a_o prince_n administration_n liberty_n be_v a_o popular_a argument_n and_o they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o mistrust_n and_o therefore_o may_v banish_v our_o fear_n if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o argument_n so_o good_a a_o historian_n be_v capable_a of_o answer_v it_o but_o alas_o you_o fear_v a_o small_a number_n may_v awe_v election_n the_o next_o time_n you_o print_v furnish_v yourself_o with_o better_a argument_n or_o else_o most_o people_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v that_o a_o small_a number_n of_o stand_v force_n may_v be_v convenient_a in_o our_o present_a circumstance_n that_o the_o number_n intend_v or_o propose_v be_v to_o be_v small_a it_o be_v plain_a for_o order_n be_v give_v to_o disband_v divers_a regiment_n already_o no_o notice_n be_v take_v of_o the_o wound_n of_o such_o who_o suffer_v on_o so_o public_a a_o occasion_n but_o it_o be_v well_o if_o at_o the_o head_n of_o their_o regiment_n when_o they_o be_v disband_v some_o speech_n be_v make_v in_o acknowledgement_n of_o their_o former_a service_n and_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o crown_n do_v not_o long_o require_v their_o aid_n this_o custom_n will_v not_o deviate_v from_o those_o commonwealth_n which_o you_o admire_v for_o their_o prudence_n but_o now_o have_v prove_v my_o point_n i_o must_v endeavour_v to_o be_v friend_n with_o the_o innkeeper_n who_o by_o this_o time_n will_v begin_v to_o pray_v for_o i_o backward_o why_o then_o gentleman_n i_o have_v this_o to_o say_v that_o the_o number_n can_v never_o oppress_v you_o it_o be_v propose_v to_o be_v but_o a_o few_o and_o your_o representative_n in_o parliament_n will_v give_v but_o what_o be_v necessary_a so_o pray_v be_v content_a and_o thank_v god_n you_o be_v rid_v of_o some_o and_o in_o time_n i_o hope_v your_o arrear_n will_v be_v pay_v and_o now_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o our_o author_n have_v start_v chimaera_n which_o enter_v not_o into_o other_o people_n head_n and_o therein_o prove_v that_o if_o he_o shoot_v at_o the_o white_a he_o be_v far_o

that_o sometime_o one_o house_n succeed_v and_o then_o another_o but_o these_o many_o revolution_n be_v always_o owe_v to_o the_o want_n of_o a_o sufficient_a power_n at_o home_n to_o suppress_v the_o strength_n of_o foreiner_n which_o make_v it_o often_o end_n to_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o invader_n by_o which_o we_o may_v see_v that_o military_a discipline_n be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n and_o that_o the_o want_n of_o stand_v force_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o sundry_a revolution_n a_o english_a army_n will_v always_o be_v for_o property_n sure_o that_o which_o will_v make_v our_o

be_v certain_a that_o york_n and_o lancaster_n can_v not_o be_v both_o in_o the_o right_n and_o yet_o success_n favour_v both_o their_o pretension_n and_o those_o frequent_a change_n be_v attribute_v

he_o talk_v of_o some_o man_n who_o in_o the_o late_a reign_v assert_v liberty_n so_o vigorous_o that_o they_o deny_v royal_a prerogative_n and_o so_o very_o zealous_o that_o they_o will_v scarce_o

they_o soon_o pry_v into_o the_o court-design_n than_o other_o man_n and_o so_o take_v care_n to_o prevent_v what_o may_v be_v destructive_a by_o ill_a management_n to_o the_o whole_a constitution_n here_o he_o forget_v to_o make_v a_o distinction_n betwixt_o circumstance_n that_o happen_v at_o that_o time_n and_o how_o the_o case_n be_v now_o we_o have_v then_o successive_o two_o prince_n on_o
