election_n and_o that_o so_o many_o of_o those_o who_o be_v elect_v do_v own_o the_o hierarchy_n may_v be_v matter_n of_o astonishment_n but_o second_o no_o not_o of_o those_o if_o it_o be_v

their_o vote_n in_o parliament_n and_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n the_o unaccountableness_n of_o king_n for_o their_o act_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o subject_n to_o obey_v their_o

the_o great_a gild_n of_o treason_n and_o damnation_n and_o thus_o have_v put_v the_o late_a king_n in_o a_o capacity_n to_o do_v all_o the_o mischief_n we_o groan_v under_o and_o fear_v think_v fit_a to_o choose_v such_o to_o destroy_v and_o demolish_v all_o those_o pillar_n of_o tyranny_n and_o popery_n which_o their_o party_n have_v erect_v and_o thus_o may_v see_v what_o teacher_n they_o have_v

late_a king_n wherein_o they_o proclaim_v he_o the_o darling_n of_o heaven_n and_o wish_v the_o neck_n of_o his_o enemy_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n and_o all_o his_o army_n to_o be_v give_v to_o he_o and_o that_o he_o may_v find_v that_o success_n he_o have_v meet_v with_o against_o monmouth_n and_o argyle_n but_o 2._o as_o to_o the_o english_a prelate_n as_o i_o abhor_v all_o method_n of_o cruelty_n severity_n malice_n revenge_n as_o be_v a_o reproach_n to_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n so_o i_o be_o far_o from_o desire_v that_o any_o good_a work_n shall_v want_v a_o suitable_a

those_o who_o stand_v in_o the_o gap_n and_o be_v zealous_a against_o all_o popish_a innovation_n 4._o by_o instil_v in_o the_o people_n the_o doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n and_o absolute_a

do_v late_o appear_v it_o will_v be_v consider_v upon_o what_o occasion_n they_o turn_v sail._n 1._o do_v any_o of_o they_o once_o mutter_v till_o their_o hand_n be_v bind_v that_o they_o can_v no_o more_o persecute_v the_o innocent_a 2._o then_o their_o indignation_n at_o the_o liberty_n grant_v to_o dissenter_n rather_o than_o their_o zeal_n against_o popery_n set_v they_o to_o work_v to_o which_o 3._o add_v their_o selfish_a zeal_n for_o their_o carnal_a interest_n when_o they_o perceive_v their_o court_n to_o decline_v and_o that_o popish_a priest_n have_v the_o king_n ear_n &_o lay_v near_a his_o heart_n and_o begin_v to_o enter_v and_o possess_v their_o charge_n they_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v high_a time_n to_o break_v off_o their_o silence_n and_o espouse_v the_o honest_a plea_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n for_o secure_v their_o place_n and_o dignity_n and_o now_o to_o testify_v their_o zeal_n for_o for_o the_o true_a religion_n they_o must_v interpose_v for_o a_o exemption_n from_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o a_o king_n zealous_a for_o the_o reform_a religion_n who_o his_o majesty_n must_v defend_v in_o all_o their_o pretend_a right_n though_o they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v his_o just_a right_n and_o deserve_a dignity_n but_o for_o conclusion_n those_o be_v time_n of_o great_a hope_n and_o expectation_n and_o our_o grievance_n have_v make_v such_o a_o noise_n in_o europe_n that_o all_o be_v wait_v for_o such_o a_o redress_n and_o reformation_n as_o may_v answer_v the_o desire_n and_o prayer_n of_o the_o grieve_v and_o oppress_v but_o if_o this_o be_v all_o the_o fruit_n that_o our_o spring_n be_v again_o send_v to_o run_v in_o their_o former_a muddy_a channel_n and_o if_o as_o one_o late_o complain_v those_o who_o will_v destroy_v we_o be_v suffer_v to_o be_v our_o instructor_n and_o our_o common_a enemy_n to_o teach_v we_o our_o politic_n what_o will_v the_o world_n say_v of_o we_o and_o ah_o how_o may_v rome_n insult_v over_o we_o and_o rejoice_v if_o hope_v defer_v make_v the_o heart_n sick_a hope_v frustrate_v especial_o in_o such_o a_o promise_a season_n must_v break_v the_o heart_n but_o o_o what_o a_o honour_n and_o name_n of_o renown_n will_v it_o be_v to_o such_o as_o god_n will_v make_v instrumental_a in_o reform_v his_o church_n and_o what_o rich_a reward_n may_v they_o expect_v from_o their_o master_n when_o all_o their_o earthly_a excellency_n will_v be_v lay_v in_o the_o dust_n now_o let_v we_o wait_v look_v up_o to_o he_o who_o can_v put_v it_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o king_n and_o ruler_n to_o do_v
