when_o man_n once_o espouse_v a_o party_n like_o those_o who_o be_v a_o run_v down_o hill_n they_o can_v stop_v when_o they_o please_v discontent_n and_o jealousy_n be_v easy_o foment_v when_o we_o have_v once_o give_v admission_n to_o they_o and_o the_o busy_a factor_n and_o agent_n for_o sedition_n when_o they_o find_v we_o never_o so_o little_o dispose_v and_o prepare_v to_o receive_v the_o impression_n use_v their_o utmost_a art_n and_o skill_n all_o the_o method_n of_o insinuation_n and_o address_n to_o make_v we_o proselyte_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o man_n have_v die_v rebel_n and_o suffer_v as_o traitor_n who_o at_o first_o do_v as_o much_o abhor_v the_o thought_n of_o treason_n and_o rebellion_n as_o any_o of_o we_o can_v thus_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o be_v in_o our_o late_a trouble_n and_o thus_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n let_v such_o example_n as_o these_o make_v we_o wary_a how_o we_o begin_v to_o entertain_v or_o to_o whisper_v our_o discontent_n and_o fear_n how_o we_o begin_v to_o listen_v to_o suspicion_n of_o our_o prince_n or_o of_o his_o government_n and_o to_o hear_v with_o pleasure_n any_o scandalous_a story_n or_o reflection_n on_o either_o those_o who_o can_v with_o content_n and_o pleasure_n hear_v their_o prince_n and_o his_o government_n revile_v will_v soon_o think_v he_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v their_o king_n and_o the_o great_a danger_n of_o such_o beginning_n be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o observe_v they_o in_o ourselves_o or_o other_o when_o religion_n be_v concern_v in_o the_o quarrel_n we_o think_v it_o all_o zeal_n pure_a zeal_n and_o can_v suspect_v ourselves_o or_o other_o to_o be_v in_o any_o danger_n of_o turn_v rebel_n but_o whatever_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n a_o degree_n and_o tendency_n towards_o rebellion_n be_v so_o where_o ever_o and_o in_o whosoever_o it_o be_v find_v and_o there_o be_v always_o more_o danger_n that_o the_o beginning_n of_o vice_n shall_v corrupt_v the_o best_a temper_n of_o mind_n than_o any_o hope_n that_o a_o sound_n and_o religious_a disposition_n shall_v correct_v the_o malign_a influence_n of_o such_o a_o vice_n some_o man_n religion_n do_v as_o much_o incline_v they_o to_o faction_n as_o secular_a interest_n do_v other_o man_n and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o dangerous_a faction_n as_o that_o which_o be_v breed_v and_o nourish_v by_o the_o corruption_n of_o religion_n the_o jewish_a zealot_n and_o the_o christian_a enthusiast_n of_o all_o sort_n be_v too_o plain_a a_o example_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o when_o man_n who_o make_v great_a pretence_n to_o religion_n begin_v to_o talk_v or_o act_v factious_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n be_v as_o like_a to_o make_v they_o rebel_n as_o any_o other_o man_n thus_o we_o often_o see_v it_o be_v and_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o suspect_v all_o such_o beginning_n either_o in_o ourselves_o or_o other_o whatever_o glorious_a pretence_n we_o may_v have_v let_v this_o at_o last_o teach_v we_o to_o learn_v from_o experience_n one_o will_v wonder_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o occasion_n for_o such_o a_o observation_n as_o this_o for_o those_o who_o have_v not_o understanding_n nor_o reach_n enough_o to_o foresee_v the_o issue_n and_o event_n of_o thing_n yet_o when_o they_o have_v once_o see_v what_o the_o event_n of_o such_o action_n have_v be_v when_o they_o see_v the_o same_o thing_n act_v over_o again_o they_o expect_v to_o see_v the_o same_o effect_n thus_o indeed_o it_o usual_o be_v thus_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v if_o man_n ever_o intend_v to_o grow_v wise_a and_o happy_a and_o yet_o our_o late_a observation_n will_v tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o always_o thus_o for_o if_o it_o have_v the_o same_o game_n will_v never_o have_v be_v play_v over_o twice_o by_o many_o of_o the_o same_o man_n in_o the_o same_o age_n and_o by_o the_o same_o art_n and_o method_n and_o yet_o the_o people_n delude_v and_o the_o world_n bear_v in_o hand_n that_o they_o design_v nothing_o less_o than_o to_o play_v the_o same_o game_n again_o we_o see_v all_o the_o zeal_n and_o all_o the_o intrigue_n of_o 40._o and_o 41._o return_v again_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o unpardonable_a crime_n for_o any_o man_n to_o say_v so_o or_o for_o any_o man_n to_o look_v as_o if_o he_o think_v so_o the_o cry_n against_o popery_n be_v renew_v but_o indeed_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o reason_n than_o they_o former_o have_v for_o we_o be_v in_o eminent_a danger_n of_o popery_n which_o be_v the_o only_a difference_n between_o those_o time_n and_o we_o but_o then_o our_o real_a fear_n and_o danger_n of_o popery_n be_v present_o abuse_v to_o factious_a design_n and_o make_v a_o property_n of_o to_o serve_v some_o more_o secret_a intrigue_n the_o old_a cry_n be_v against_o popish_a bishop_n and_o a_o popish_a liturgy_n and_o popish_a ceremony_n and_o in_o a_o word_n against_o the_o popish_a church_n of_o england_n but_o one_o will_v have_v think_v it_o impossible_a that_o ever_o the_o church_n shall_v at_o this_o time_n have_v be_v charge_v with_o popery_n when_o the_o popish_a plot_n be_v principal_o intend_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o our_o king_n as_o the_o supreme_a governor_n and_o defender_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v do_v too_o and_o the_o king_n and_o the_o church_n have_v like_a to_o have_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o plot_n against_o themselves_o we_o hear_v new_a story_n tell_v of_o the_o growth_n of_o popery_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n when_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n we_o see_v nor_o feel_v no_o such_o thing_n this_o be_v the_o main_a subject_n of_o those_o infinite_a number_n of_o pamphlet_n that_o fly_v about_o the_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n be_v sure_a never_o to_o escape_v beside_o those_o many_o oblique_a and_o scurrilous_a reflection_n which_o be_v make_v upon_o the_o king_n and_o his_o government_n and_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o name_v any_o step_n which_o be_v former_o take_v to_o ruin_v church_n and_o state_n which_o these_o man_n can_v possible_o take_v and_o do_v not_o and_o yet_o few_o man_n will_v see_v whither_o all_o this_o tend_v though_o no_o man_n be_v think_v fit_a for_o any_o public_a trust_n or_o office_n but_o those_o who_o be_v eminent_a for_o their_o disaffection_n to_o church_n or_o state_n i_o hope_v your_o eye_n be_v open_v now_o to_o see_v what_o all_o this_o mean_v and_o methinks_v it_o be_v but_o a_o reasonable_a request_n to_o you_o that_o if_o ever_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o unhappy_a as_o to_o see_v these_o thing_n act_v over_o again_o you_o will_v not_o need_v be_v put_v in_o mind_n what_o the_o natural_a tendency_n and_o consequent_n be_v which_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n why_o i_o mention_v they_o now_o we_o have_v like_a to_o have_v pay_v very_o dear_a for_o disbelieve_v our_o own_o eye_n and_o sense_n and_o former_a experience_n it_o be_v certain_o a_o cheap_a and_o safe_a way_n to_o learn_v by_o former_a experience_n than_o by_o new_a one_o 6._o let_v we_o now_o learn_v how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o interrupt_v the_o ordinary_a course_n and_o method_n of_o justice_n let_v the_o pretence_n be_v what_o it_o will_n justice_n be_v the_o only_a support_n and_o security_n of_o humane_a society_n and_o a_o stop_n or_o a_o breach_n here_o be_v as_o fatal_a and_o dangerous_a as_o a_o failure_n in_o the_o foundation_n or_o the_o main_a pillar_n which_o support_v the_o build_n when_o man_n be_v rescue_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o justice_n against_o the_o most_o clear_a and_o notorious_a evidence_n upon_o a_o mere_a presumption_n of_o their_o innocence_n and_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o they_o what_o security_n can_v there_o be_v to_o the_o government_n when_o let_v man_n do_v what_o they_o will_v if_o they_o can_v get_v and_o maintain_v a_o reputation_n of_o zealous_a patriot_n for_o their_o country_n and_o religion_n they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o justice_n have_v not_o the_o good_a providence_n of_o god_n interpose_v this_o very_a thing_n may_v have_v cost_v our_o king_n his_o life_n and_o his_o crown_n and_o involve_v this_o miserable_a nation_n in_o a_o bloody_a war_n this_o plot_n may_v possible_o have_v be_v discover_v soon_o before_o it_o be_v so_o ripe_a for_o execution_n have_v justice_n have_v its_o due_a course_n which_o i_o think_v it_o become_v all_o person_n who_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o serious_o to_o consider_v with_o such_o guilt_n and_o confusion_n as_o it_o deserve_v 7._o i_o observe_v that_o in_o time_n of_o public_a danger_n when_o we_o have_v enemy_n on_o both_o side_n it_o concern_v we_o to_o keep_v a_o watchful_a eye_n upon_o both_o extreme_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o do_v this_o but_o it_o be_v impossible_a we_o shall_v be_v safe_a
