subject_n without_o any_o one_o advancement_n of_o prerogative_n the_o next_o thing_n material_a in_o the_o letter_n be_v the_o question_v the_o legality_n of_o the_o declaration_n which_o the_o

the_o king_n speak_v not_o here_o as_o command_v any_o thing_n but_o the_o print_n publish_v and_o read_v and_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v the_o mean_a englishman_n to_o vindicate_v himself_o in_o print_n when_o he_o have_v any_o aspersion_n cast_v upon_o he_o this_o be_v manifest_o the_o case_n that_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o government_n have_v endeavour_v to_o insinuate_v into_o the_o people_n such_o principle_n as_o this_o answerer_n now_o publish_v and_o therefore_o his_o majesty_n who_o be_v always_o tender_a to_o preserve_v the_o affection_n of_o his_o subject_n desire_v to_o lay_v before_o they_o the_o necessary_a reason_n which_o induce_v he_o to_o so_o unpleasant_a a_o thing_n as_o the_o part_n with_o two_o successive_a parliament_n and_o if_o the_o clergy_n obey_v he_o in_o so_o just_a a_o design_n be_v this_o to_o be_v name_v a_o blind_a obedience_n but_o i_o wonder_v why_o our_o author_n be_v so_o eager_a for_o the_o call_v they_o to_o account_v as_o accessary_n to_o a_o invective_n against_o a_o three_o estate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n while_o he_o himself_o be_v guilty_a in_o almost_o every_o sentence_n of_o his_o discourse_n of_o asperse_v the_o king_n even_o in_o

only_a true_a exception_n which_o our_o answerer_n have_v to_o it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v deny_v his_o majesty_n the_o power_n of_o clear_v his_o intention_n to_o the_o people_n and_o find_v
