true_a and_o unshaken_a loyalty_n assert_v that_o the_o right_n of_o election_n of_o all_o person_n to_o place_n of_o trust_n in_o all_o his_o majesty_n hospital_n in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n be_v

say_v hospital_n by_o a_o lover_n of_o his_o king_n and_o country_n gentleman_n it_o be_v obvious_a to_o all_o mankind_n what_o amaze_a circumstance_n have_v attend_v the_o management_n of_o state-affair_n in_o this_o our_o horizon_n for_o several_a year_n last_o pass_v and_o it_o be_v apparent_a how_o restless_a the_o endeavour_n of_o several_a man_n have_v be_v to_o subvert_v the_o government_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o loud_a acclamation_n of_o popery_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n we_o still_o enjoy_v peace_n and_o tranquillity_n and_o our_o liberty_n and_o privilege_n let_v all_o the_o record_n extant_a of_o all_o the_o reign_v of_o our_o king_n be_v search_v and_o then_o it_o will_v appear_v very_o plain_a to_o all_o person_n whatsoever_o that_o our_o sovereign_n have_v be_v endow_v with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o solomon_n and_o the_o patience_n of_o a_o job_n and_o have_v be_v eminent_o influence_v by_o a_o divine_a

subject_n from_o ruin_n and_o that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o unparalleled_a privy-council_n for_o wisdom_n and_o steadfast_a loyalty_n that_o their_o action_n will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o example_n but_o a_o wonder_n to_o future_a age_n it_o be_v a_o say_v of_o a_o late_a great_a and_o subtle_a politician_n that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n be_v law_n and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o bear_v sway_n in_o the_o first_o place_n from_o thence_o i_o infer_v whoever_o he_o be_v that_o yield_v not_o ready_a compliance_n to_o his_o prince_n command_n because_o it_o seem_v to_o entrench_v upon_o his_o own_o self-interest_n that_o very_a action_n demonstrate_v he_o immediate_o no_o long_o a_o subject_a but_o a_o rebel_n but_o i_o crave_v pardon_n for_o this_o small_a digression_n and_o shall_v without_o any_o far_a deviation_n from_o my_o intend_a purpose_n acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o dedicate_v these_o line_n to_o you_o and_o to_o you_o chief_o gentleman_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o have_v not_o have_v that_o inspection_n into_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o city_n as_o many_o other_o who_o employ_v and_o study_n have_v addict_v they_o more_o particular_o thereto_o but_o what_o i_o have_v read_v i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o digest_v and_o as_o occasion_n have_v offer_v in_o my_o station_n to_o bring_v into_o practice_n but_o this_o i_o do_v aver_v and_o there_o be_v no_o judicious_a man_n but_o will_n concentre_v in_o my_o opinion_n that_o all_o the_o hospital_n be_v his_o majesty_n by_o descent_n from_o his_o ancestor_n this_o be_v take_v pro_fw-la confesso_fw-la then_o sure_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o recommend_v who_o he_o please_v to_o all_o place_n of_o trust_n in_o these_o hospital_n without_o suspect_v the_o loyalty_n of_o any_o of_o the_o present_a governor_n that_o which_o be_v expect_v from_o they_o be_v a_o care_n of_o the_o prudent_a management_n of_o the_o revenue_n for_o the_o poor_a that_o it_o be_v not_o misapply_v and_o whatsoever_o office_n belong_v thereto_o his_o majesty_n leave_v to_o they_o as_o governor_n to_o elect_n be_v out_o of_o a_o confidence_n he_o repose_v in_o they_o that_o none_o but_o fit_a person_n shall_v be_v elect_v but_o the_o right_n of_o election_n he_o reserve_v as_o inherent_a in_o himself_o and_o at_o his_o pleasure_n to_o assert_v it_o neither_o certain_o be_v it_o ever_o intend_a nor_o with_o humble_a submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n do_v i_o think_v it_o convenient_a that_o those_o that_o be_v governor_n shall_v have_v place_n of_o profit_n viz._n the_o benefit_n of_o three_o brewer_n place_n because_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v bias_v so_o as_o it_o may_v in_o time_n be_v find_v to_o be_v very_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o hospital_n for_o several_a reason_n which_o wise_a man_n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o but_o do_v already_o foresee_v and_o as_o occasion_n offer_v will_v declare_v their_o sentiment_n in_o due_a time_n which_o may_v serve_v to_o caution_n some_o person_n concern_v therein_o but_o this_o i_o can_v assert_v when_o i_o have_v a_o concern_v though_o not_o as_o a_o governor_n that_o a_o positive_a order_n be_v make_v at_o a_o general_n court_n that_o no_o present_a governor_n shall_v have_v any_o place_n of_o profit_n a_o regulation_n of_o some_o of_o the_o affair_n in_o some_o of_o his_o

do_v consent_n to_o the_o immediate_a employ_v of_o he_o and_o as_o a_o far_a testimonial_a do_v order_v some_o drug_n to_o be_v send_v so_o do_v the_o other_o person_n likewise_o the_o whole_a committee_n consist_v of_o three_o two_o of_o they_o meet_v the_o three_o meet_v not_o at_o all_o some_o person_n afterward_o be_v acquaint_v with_o what_o be_v do_v seem_v much_o concern_v pure_o out_o of_o self-interest_n as_o manifest_o will_v appear_v and_o be_v please_v to_o intimate_v to_o a_o person_n of_o great_a worth_n and_o eminency_n that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o wrong_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o very_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o hospital_n and_o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v misinform_v that_o there_o be_v no_o intention_n of_o choose_v a_o druggist_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v endeavour_v to_o have_v his_o majesty_n acquaint_v in_o order_n to_o the_o revocation_n of_o his_o letter_n the_o falsity_n hereof_o i_o shall_v plain_o make_v appear_v the_o general_a court_n have_v leave_v the_o management_n of_o that_o affair_n to_o a_o committee_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o employ_v a_o druggist_n be_v most_o certain_a but_o some_o man_n be_v so_o wed_v to_o their_o self-interest_n that_o momus_n like_v they_o carp_n at_o a_o small_a errata_fw-la in_o pen_v of_o the_o letter_n but_o the_o gentleman_n have_v supply_v they_o with_o as_o good_a drug_n

letter_n to_o have_v the_o preferrence_n as_o a_o gentleman_n undaunted_o assert_v at_o the_o late_a public_a committee_n and_o put_v they_o to_o a_o dilemma_n as_o they_o do_v the_o quondam_a

the_o reason_n some_o oppose_v it_o vigorous_o and_o disingenuous_o and_o they_o be_v labour_v hard_o to_o stifle_v it_o in_o embryo_n though_o it_o be_v believe_v they_o may_v miss_v of_o their_o

be_v imagine_v that_o his_o majesty_n have_v grant_v his_o letter_n of_o recommendation_n will_v be_v easy_o prevail_v upon_o to_o recall_v it_o and_o it_o be_v presuppose_v that_o those_o that_o beg_v a_o boon_n of_o the_o king_n will_v not_o implore_v his_o royal_a favour_n for_o a_o knave_n or_o a_o fool_n or_o for_o a_o person_n that_o be_v not_o true_o loyal_a the_o main_a objection_n against_o his_o majesty_n letter_n by_o two_o or_o three_o be_v these_o follow_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o office_n as_o a_o drugster_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o his_o majesty_n have_v give_v the_o power_n of_o election_n of_o officer_n into_o the_o governors_n hand_n therefore_o they_o will_v insist_v on_o their_o loyalty_n look_v on_o themselves_o as_o competent_a judge_n of_o who_o be_v most_o fit_a these_o be_v the_o most_o material_a objection_n and_o they_o may_v be_v as_o easy_o answer_v and_o i_o do_v positive_o aver_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o good_a of_o the_o hospital_n that_o be_v aim_v at_o but_o self-interest_n and_o this_o i_o will_v now_o make_v evident_o appear_v as_o to_o the_o first_o that_o although_o there_o be_v no_o such_o office_n yet_o as_o drugster_n

they_o must_v make_v use_n of_o one_o as_o they_o do_v at_o st._n bartholemews_n hospital_n and_o why_o not_o then_o of_o the_o person_n recommend_v by_o his_o majesty_n as_o to_o the_o second_o objection_n viz._n their_o loyalty_n i_o shall_v acquaint_v you_o with_o one_o famous_a instance_n very_o pertinent_a to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n there_o be_v a_o company_n in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n near_o a_o kin_n to_o the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o paracelsian_a faculty_n his_o majesty_n be_v please_v to_o give_v his_o royal_a grant_n to_o a_o honest_a gentleman_n to_o be_v clerk_n to_o the_o say_a company_n their_o former_a clerk_n who_o be_v yet_o in_o possession_n do_v prevail_v with_o several_a of_o the_o court_n of_o assistant_n to_o pass_v their_o word_n that_o they_o will_v petition_v the_o king_n on_o his_o behalf_n and_o they_o do_v believe_v they_o shall_v prevail_v with_o his_o majesty_n to_o revoke_v his_o royal_a grant_n the_o petition_n be_v according_o draw_v and_o they_o meet_v at_o the_o time_n and_o place_n appoint_v but_o one_o gentleman_n be_v more_o circumspect_a than_o the_o rest_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v convenient_a they_o shall_v first_o address_v themselves_o to_o that_o honourable_a and_o renown_a person_n to_o who_o his_o majesty_n have_v commit_v the_o whole_a management_n of_o those_o affair_n to_o this_o motion_n they_o all_o unanimous_o consent_v and_o according_o go_v to_o he_o and_o deliver_v their_o petition_n humble_o implore_v his_o concurrence_n he_o tell_v they_o they_o know_v his_o majesty_n have_v give_v his_o royal_a grant_n for_o another_o person_n and_o do_v wonder_n with_o what_o confidence_n they_o do_v presume_v to_o go_v with_o that_o petition_n but_o withal_o bid_v those_o who_o be_v present_a to_o sign_n it_o he_o that_o deliver_v it_o make_v a_o motion_n to_o sign_n it_o but_o one_o among_o they_o be_v more_o considerate_a than_o the_o rest_n whisper_v in_o his_o ear_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o crave_v time_n to_o consider_v of_o it_o which_o he_o do_v and_o it_o be_v grant_v but_o they_o have_v not_o judge_v it_o convenient_a to_o meddle_v in_o that_o affair_n any_o far_o from_o thence_o i_o infer_v that_o it_o be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n for_o self-interest_n to_o interfere_v with_o the_o royal_a prerogative_n but_o the_o proverbial_a say_n be_v true_o verify_v in_o this_o

a_o friend_n of_o he_o may_v have_v serve_v any_o of_o the_o hospital_n as_o a_o brewer_n baker_n or_o druggist_n will_v not_o they_o have_v account_v it_o a_o great_a favour_n to_o have_v have_v

that_o it_o shall_v be_v account_v imposition_n and_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v a_o signal_n favour_n of_o his_o majesty_n that_o he_o only_o recommend_v where_o he_o may_v command_v
