subject_n must_v he_o be_v who_o in_o this_o manner_n set_v himself_o to_o raise_v a_o aversion_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o this_o assembly_n against_o their_o prince_n by_o expose_v his_o religion_n under_o so_o vile_a a_o character_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a where_o the_o charge_n be_v believe_v to_o true_a to_o entertain_v very_o kind_a thought_n for_o any_o that_o be_v a_o professor_n of_o such_o unnatural_a principle_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o when_o a_o prince_n and_o parliament_n meet_v it_o be_v the_o sovereign_n desire_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o mutual_a good_a understanding_n between_o himself_o and_o that_o council_n and_o that_o none_o can_v more_o affront_v the_o prince_n than_o to_o raise_v jealousy_n in_o their_o head_n and_o disturb_v their_o mind_n with_o foul_a idea_n touch_v himself_o and_o his_o religion_n what_o need_v then_o of_o further_a argument_n to_o discourage_v such_o kind_n of_o preach_v since_o however_o it_o may_v sound_v big_a of_o be_v loyal_a and_o true_a to_o the_o king_n it_o do_v notwithstanding_o work_v the_o quite_o contrary_a effect_n and_o even_o answer_v the_o wish_n of_o the_o most_o wicked_a enemy_n of_o the_o crown_n in_o this_o manner_n it_o injure_v he_o as_o sovereign_n and_o be_v there_o nothing_o of_o this_o in_o it_o yet_o must_v it_o be_v very_o unwelcome_a to_o he_o to_o hear_v such_o a_o character_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o his_o own_o communion_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o security_n in_o their_o loyalty_n since_o be_v but_o new_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n he_o can_v but_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a time_n since_o he_o be_v a_o subject_a himself_o and_o how_o near_o this_o come_v to_o his_o own_o person_n let_v every_o one_o consider_v i_o meddle_v here_o nothing_o with_o the_o controversy_n but_o i_o believe_v that_o all_o honest_a man_n that_o know_v how_o hearty_a a_o lover_n this_o our_o sovereign_n be_v of_o loyalty_n and_o fidelity_n and_o how_o sincere_a in_o his_o religion_n need_v no_o other_o argument_n to_o conclude_v he_o a_o calumniator_n who_o have_v thus_o asperse_v his_o religion_n and_o set_v it_o forth_o as_o disloyal_a and_o teach_v to_o rebel_n since_o if_o it_o real_o be_v so_o whosoever_o profess_v a_o love_n to_o it_o and_o loyalty_n together_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v a_o dissembler_n on_o the_o one_o side_n or_o the_o other_o there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o be_v hearty_o loyal_a and_o yet_o be_v true_a to_o a_o church_n which_o teach_v to_o rebel_n all_o that_o remain_v here_o worthy_a of_o consideration_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v wise_a or_o mannerly_a for_o preacher_n to_o make_v their_o prince_n religion_n odious_a and_o contemptible_a to_o his_o subject_n though_o they_o make_v no_o dedication_n of_o it_o or_o do_v not_o preach_v it_o to_o a_o parliament-house_n the_o reason_n for_o the_o doubt_n be_v these_o 1._o because_o it_o do_v not_o look_v like_o the_o part_n of_o a_o good_a subject_n to_o undervalue_v his_o prince_n to_o his_o own_o people_n and_o yet_o he_o that_o inveigh_v against_o his_o religion_n seem_v to_o do_v so_o for_o when_o such_o and_o such_o point_n of_o his_o faith_n be_v paint_v out_o and_o condemn_v as_o ridiculous_a nonsense_n profane_a impious_a the_o effect_n of_o madness_n full_a of_o contradiction_n contrary_a to_o sense_n and_o reason_n charm_n hocuspocus_a cheat_n gross_a idolatry_n worse_o and_o more_o unnatural_a than_o that_o of_o barbarian_n and_o pagan_n be_v not_o all_o these_o most_o severe_a reflection_n upon_o his_o sense_n his_o judgement_n and_o reason_n whilst_o he_o be_v suppose_v to_o approve_v and_o embrace_v all_o those_o tenet_n that_o be_v stamp_v with_o these_o ignominious_a and_o unworthy_a title_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n suppose_v not_o to_o know_v the_o difference_n between_o sense_n and_o nonsense_n reason_n and_o contradiction_n judgement_n and_o madness_n christianity_n and_o idolatry_n and_o especial_o when_o after_o these_o black_a character_n this_o conclusion_n bring_v up_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o plain_a that_o any_o man_n of_o sense_n any_o child_n may_v see_v it_o be_v not_o this_o within_o one_o step_v of_o rank_v all_o of_o that_o communion_n in_o the_o list_n of_o madman_n or_o fool_n it_o leave_v they_o all_o at_o least_o at_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o congregation_n by_o their_o infer_v faculty_n to_o make_v what_o they_o please_v of_o they_o 2._o because_o such_o a_o way_n of_o preach_v reflect_v upon_o the_o government_n of_o their_o sovereign_n the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o when_o they_o set_v forth_o the_o religion_n of_o their_o prince_n as_o teach_v and_o encourage_v usurpation_n tyranny_n massacre_n all_o sort_n of_o cruelty_n and_o treachery_n of_o introduce_v slavery_n and_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o mother-church_n this_o certain_o fill_v the_o subject_n with_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n make_v they_o uneasy_a under_o such_o a_o government_n and_o indispose_v they_o for_o give_v a_o hearty_a service_n to_o such_o a_o prince_n who_o they_o be_v make_v to_o fear_n intend_v nothing_o better_a for_o they_o than_o violence_n and_o slavery_n whosoever_o consider_v the_o temper_n of_o this_o nation_n how_o susceptible_a the_o people_n be_v of_o fear_n how_o jealous_a of_o their_o liberty_n how_o credulous_a at_o the_o noise_n of_o plot_n and_o design_n can_v but_o know_v how_o far_o a_o hint_n or_o sly_a insinuation_n will_v go_v with_o they_o and_o that_o one_o innuendo_fw-la that_o touch_v upon_o the_o right_a string_n will_v set_v they_o more_o in_o a_o ferment_n than_o open_a danger_n will_v do_v any_o other_o nation_n in_o the_o world._n it_o be_v strange_a how_o sensible_o the_o noise_n of_o a_o cloud_n or_o a_o storm_n or_o a_o snake_n in_o the_o grass_n work_v upon_o they_o though_o in_o the_o quiet_a of_o a_o general_a calm_a to_o talk_v to_o they_o of_o patience_n nonresistance_n of_o be_v ready_a to_o suffer_v all_o that_o god_n shall_v permit_v for_o their_o sin_n be_v to_o fill_v their_o head_n with_o fire_n and_o faggot_n and_o a_o word_n of_o slavery_n carry_v their_o fancy_n into_o the_o middle_n of_o egypt_n now_o when_o a_o people_n be_v thus_o dispose_v how_o can_v those_o preacher_n be_v good_a subject_n who_o can_v get_v six_o step_n above_o their_o congregation_n but_o immediate_o they_o discover_v cloud_n hang_v over_o the_o people_n head_n they_o fright_v they_o with_o storm_n and_o tempest_n and_o then_o pretend_v to_o allay_v their_o fear_n with_o the_o comfort_n of_o have_v but_o patience_n be_v ready_a to_o suffer_v all_o this_o will_v blow_v over_o they_o fright_v they_o ten_o time_n worse_o than_o before_o and_o sly_o improve_v their_o comfort_n into_o a_o second_o storm_n now_o what_o kind_n of_o subject_n must_v these_o be_v and_o how_o wonderful_o loyal_a that_o by_o these_o contrivance_n and_o subtle_a insinuation_n can_v fill_v his_o majesty_n people_n with_o as_o much_o disturbance_n and_o render_v they_o as_o uneasy_a under_o the_o most_o benign_a influence_n of_o a_o gracious_a and_o indulgent_a prince_n as_o if_o they_o have_v the_o heavy_a weight_n of_o tyranny_n gall_v their_o shoulder_n i_o know_v the_o pretence_n be_v religion_n and_o to_o preferve_v they_o from_o error_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o pretence_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a man_n may_v be_v teach_v to_o be_v good_a christian_n without_o be_v make_v bad_a subject_n and_o the_o disturb_v the_o government_n be_v no_o necessary_a preparation_n for_o direct_v people_n the_o way_n to_o heaven_n patience_n and_o resignation_n may_v be_v easy_o teach_v without_o the_o help_n of_o storm_n the_o scripture_n furnish_v matter_n and_o example_n enough_o without_o go_v up_o into_o the_o cloud_n and_o i_o wish_v this_o modern_a way_n of_o teach_v patience_n be_v not_o a_o new_a kind_n of_o pulpit-drum_n to_o alarm_n people_n into_o the_o spirit_n of_o rebellion_n i_o will_v not_o be_v for_o raise_v scandal_n against_o any_o society_n of_o man_n much_o less_o against_o those_o who_o pretend_v to_o the_o gospel_n but_o when_o i_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o such_o kind_n of_o preach_v how_o it_o raise_v discontent_n and_o jealousy_n and_o become_v a_o aggrievance_n to_o the_o prince_n i_o can_v but_o wish_v that_o such_o as_o follow_v this_o method_n and_o intend_v the_o mischief_n be_v more_o loyal_a and_o such_o as_o intend_v it_o not_o be_v more_o wise_a howsoever_o it_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a the_o method_n be_v unwarrantable_a and_o not_o at_o all_o become_a those_o who_o will_v willing_o be_v think_v the_o best_a preacher_n in_o the_o world_n and_o
