themselves_o this_o be_v what_o the_o discontent_n of_o factious_a people_n do_v common_o bring_v they_o to_o in_o the_o issue_n when_o they_o be_v past_a hope_n of_o gain_v their_o end_n any_o other_o way_n when_o person_n of_o loyalty_n be_v put_v into_o all_o the_o place_n of_o authority_n and_o they_o only_a who_o be_v true_a to_o the_o throne_n be_v entrust_v with_o public_a office_n and_o the_o church_n and_o state_n be_v the_o most_o firm_o establish_v than_o no_o wonder_n if_o a_o party_n of_o malcontent_n be_v drive_v to_o the_o desperate_a resolution_n not_o to_o sit_v down_o quiet_o by_o the_o government_n but_o to_o put_v themselves_o upon_o the_o last_o extremity_n whenever_o then_o the_o constitution_n of_o affair_n quite_o spoil_v a_o design_n you_o have_v very_o earnest_o pursue_v take_v heed_n that_o you_o harbour_v no_o angry_a discontent_n in_o your_o breast_n nor_o espouse_v the_o discontent_n of_o other_o nor_o join_v with_o malevolent_a man_n in_o disloyal_a expression_n of_o your_o displeasure_n at_o the_o government_n but_o study_v a_o quiet_a submission_n to_o the_o present_a condition_n of_o thing_n believe_v rather_o whatever_o point_n you_o have_v lose_v which_o you_o can_v wish_v to_o have_v gain_v that_o what_o be_v order_v and_o dispose_v by_o god_n and_o your_o superior_n will_v prove_v best_a in_o the_o end_n 4._o through_o want_n of_o gratitude_n towards_o god_n for_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o government_n man_n become_v ready_a for_o unquietness_n under_o it_o when_o man_n have_v no_o due_a sense_n of_o the_o divine_a mercy_n vouchsafe_v they_o no_o marvel_n if_o they_o shall_v prove_v so_o voerseen_v as_o to_o offer_v to_o bereave_v themselves_o of_o they_o even_o by_o a_o act_n of_o their_o own_o as_o for_o our_o present_a government_n if_o we_o either_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o or_o compare_v it_o with_o what_o we_o see_v elsewhere_o in_o the_o world_n we_o must_v judge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o best_a and_o happy_a of_o constitution_n whence_o i_o infer_v that_o if_o people_n be_v due_o thankful_a to_o god_n for_o national_a blessing_n here_o in_o england_n and_o know_v when_o they_o be_v well_o the_o king_n and_o government_n be_v as_o safe_a as_o possible_a but_o if_o man_n have_v no_o sense_n at_o all_o of_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o constitution_n nor_o ever_o look_v up_o to_o god_n with_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n of_o it_o i_o can_v much_o wonder_v if_o they_o shall_v become_v so_o weak_a as_o to_o be_v for_o try_v conclusion_n by_o a_o change_n wherefore_o as_o the_o case_n be_v with_o we_o will_v you_o study_v this_o quiet_a viz._n to_o be_v as_o loyal_a to_o the_o king_n as_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v study_v then_o to_o be_v as_o thankful_a to_o god_n as_o you_o shall_v be_v 5._o a_o distrust_v of_o god_n providence_n and_o care_n of_o we_o for_o the_o future_a and_o a_o impatience_n to_o be_v at_o a_o end_n of_o some_o present_a fear_n

manner_n of_o mean_n even_o by_o the_o diabolical_a one_o of_o treasonable_a association_n assassination_n and_o insurrection_n popery_n may_v come_v in_o and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v out_o and_o pray_v god_n it_o may_v but_o god_n forbid_v that_o we_o shall_v offer_v to_o keep_v it_o out_o the_o same_o way_n by_o which_o the_o papist_n have_v attempt_v to_o bring_v it_o in_o to_o conspire_v against_o the_o prince_n and_o to_o strike_v at_o the_o government_n be_v go_v horrid_o to_o work_v to_o keep_v out_o popery_n and_o i_o believe_v this_o evil_n will_v hardly_o ever_o be_v prevent_v by_o mean_n of_o this_o sort_n we_o have_v better_o 14.13_o exod._n 14.13_o stand_v still_o and_o see_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n than_o think_v of_o save_v ourselves_o by_o villainous_a and_o treasonable_a device_n man_n have_v better_o leave_v the_o matter_n to_o god_n and_o stay_v his_o leisure_n and_o trust_v in_o his_o care_n of_o his_o church_n which_o he_o have_v

treason_n or_o rebellion_n this_o i_o can_v omit_v mention_v since_o it_o prove_v so_o fatal_a to_o this_o poor_a island_n in_o the_o late_a time_n and_o be_v the_o great_a cause_n of_o the_o many_o

thing_n than_o when_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o a_o false_a and_o fiery_a zeal_n for_o religion_n for_o when_o the_o religious_a frenzy_n be_v at_o the_o height_n and_o man_n head_n run_v upon_o the_o goodness_n of_o a_o cause_n wherein_o they_o be_v persuade_v god_n honour_n be_v concern_v they_o be_v common_o intemperate_o hot_a in_o the_o service_n of_o such_o a_o cause_n insomuch_o that_o no_o place_n be_v leave_v for_o a_o deliberate_a prudence_n and_o careful_a consideration_n but_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o embrace_v all_o motion_n and_o to_o engage_v furious_o in_o any_o erterprise_n that_o look_v that_o way_n till_o at_o length_n perhaps_o the_o zeal_n for_o religion_n end_v in_o a_o damnable_a plot_n and_o the_o hot_a religionist_n be_v the_o horrid_a traitor_n and_o such_o be_v the_o madness_n of_o that_o kind_n of_o zeal_n when_o man_n be_v most_o act_v and_o push_v forward_o by_o it_o that_o they_o think_v they_o be_v zealous_a for_o god_n while_o they_o forget_v what_o he_o have_v command_v and_o forbid_v and_o that_o they_o be_v his_o busy_a and_o godly_a servant_n when_o they_o be_v quite_o and_o clean_o go_v beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o their_o duty_n study_v then_o to_o be_v quiet_a not_o by_o lay_v aside_o zeal_n for_o religion_n for_o it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n always_o to_o be_v zealous_o affect_v in_o a_o good_a cause_n but_o by_o take_v care_n that_o your_o zeal_n for_o religion_n be_v the_o true_a gospel_n zeal_n that_o it_o steer_v right_a and_o be_v well_o guide_v do_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o make_v you_o undutiful_a to_o your_o governor_n troublesome_a to_o the_o state_n or_o rebel_n to_o your_o prince_n for_o it_o can_v never_o be_v a_o right_a christian_a zeal_n that_o put_v man_n on_o to_o these_o ill_a thing_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o think_v of_o show_v your_o zeal_n for_o god_n by_o break_v his_o law_n of_o be_v irreligious_a for_o religion_n and_o of_o play_v the_o devil_n for_o god_n sake_n but_o let_v your_o zeal_n for_o religion_n appear_v to_o be_v right_a and_o true_a by_o its_o employ_v you_o most_o of_o all_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o know_a duty_n of_o religion_n by_o its_o make_n you_o constant_a and_o resolute_a there_o nay_o courageous_a enough_o to_o die_v for_o religion_n if_o need_v be_v and_o then_o moreover_o be_v as_o stir_v and_o industrious_a as_o you_o can_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o religion_n to_o promote_v its_o interest_n in_o the_o world_n where_o you_o can_v do_v it_o lawful_o and_o prudent_o but_o study_v to_o be_v quiet_a withal_o let_v your_o zeal_n as_o to_o its_o act_n be_v keep_v within_o the_o limit_n of_o peace_n and_o then_o be_v as_o wise_a and_o busy_a for_o god_n and_o a_o good_a cause_n as_o your_o zeal_n prompt_v you_o to_o be_v 3.17_o jam._n 3.17_o the_o wisdom_n that_o be_v from_o above_o be_v peaceable_a and_o so_o be_v the_o heavenly_a zeal_n too_o 7._o contempt_n of_o the_o government_n be_v another_o thing_n which_o make_v man_n unquiet_a under_o it_o and_o ready_a to_o do_v all_o they_o can_v to_o subvert_v it_o and_o this_o disposedness_n to_o be_v unquiet_a be_v too_o apparent_o in_o those_o people_n that_o

reason_n enough_o to_o be_v so_o especial_o since_o the_o old_a open_a rebellion_n and_o the_o new_a close_a conspiracy_n and_o by_o this_o time_n i_o suppose_v we_o see_v sufficient_o what_o little_a
