your_o majesty_n grandfather_n who_o i_o before_o name_v do_v not_o only_o pardon_v all_o his_o subject_n that_o come_v in_o to_o he_o how_o much_o soever_o they_o have_v before_o offend_v he_o but_o to_o secure_v they_o the_o better_a from_o their_o fear_n and_o to_o oblige_v they_o the_o more_o to_o his_o service_n he_o honour_v some_o of_o they_o with_o title_n of_o great_a quality_n and_o with_o office_n of_o great_a trust_n and_o importance_n and_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o any_o of_o they_o give_v he_o cause_n to_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o i_o hope_v your_o majesty_n will_v find_v the_o same_o success_n that_o he_o have_v in_o do_v as_o he_o do_v or_o rather_o as_o god_n himself_o do_v when_o he_o do_v not_o only_o receive_v the_o prodigal_a child_n but_o feast_v he_o and_o make_v as_o much_o of_o he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o give_v he_o cause_n to_o be_v displease_v with_o he_o though_o his_o elder_a brother_n repine_v at_o it_o but_o then_o as_o your_o majesty_n have_v be_v please_v to_o remember_v and_o imitate_v what_o that_o most_o exemplary_a prince_n your_o grandfather_n do_v so_o it_o will_v well_o become_v those_o who_o your_o majesty_n have_v so_o much_o oblige_v to_o remember_v and_o consider_v what_o the_o same_o great_a and_o wise_a king_n use_v often_o to_o say_v namely_o that_o though_o he_o will_v be_v always_o ready_a to_o make_v peace_n with_o any_o of_o the_o leaguer_n yet_o he_o will_v never_o make_v peace_n with_o the_o league_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o though_o he_o will_v pardon_v any_o that_o have_v engage_v against_o he_o yet_o he_o will_v never_o endure_v that_o the_o engagement_n it_o self_n shall_v afterward_o be_v own_a or_o justify_v by_o any_o of_o his_o subject_n this_o be_v in_o effect_v not_o a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n for_o what_o they_o have_v do_v against_o he_o for_o the_o time_n past_a but_o a_o act_n of_o allowance_n for_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v against_o he_o for_o the_o future_a and_o consequent_o not_o so_o much_o a_o pardon_n of_o sin_n as_o a_o invitation_n to_o sin_n whereas_o a_o act_n of_o indemnity_n as_o it_o be_v mere_o a_o act_n of_o grace_n and_o favor_n in_o he_o that_o grant_v it_o so_o it_o suppose_v both_o confession_n and_o repentance_n of_o a_o fault_n in_o he_o that_o receive_v it_o and_o he_o that_o true_o repent_v of_o a_o fault_n will_v not_o be_v angry_a when_o he_o be_v tell_v of_o it_o especial_o when_o he_o be_v tell_v of_o it_o by_o way_n of_o caution_n against_o it_o and_o not_o by_o way_n of_o upbraid_v he_o with_o it_o or_o for_o it_o and_o how_o can_v a_o preacher_n be_v say_v to_o upbraid_v any_o man_n in_o particular_a when_o he_o speak_v against_o sin_n in_o general_n and_o that_o in_o order_n to_o the_o humble_v of_o all_o man_n before_o god_n and_o not_o to_o the_o shame_n of_o any_o man_n before_o man_n especial_o when_o in_o clear_a and_o express_v term_n he_o profess_v that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o meaning_n to_o charge_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o god_n judgement_n upon_o any_o one_o party_n order_n or_o sect_n of_o man_n and_o much_o less_o upon_o any_o one_o man_n in_o particular_a but_o upon_o the_o whole_a nation_n in_o general_n and_o consequent_o as_o well_o and_o as_o much_o upon_o himself_o as_o upon_o any_o of_o those_o that_o hear_v he_o and_o now_o if_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o clear_v i_o from_o have_v any_o intention_n in_o any_o thing_n i_o say_v to_o derogate_v from_o the_o act_n of_o indemnity_n all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o say_v more_o be_v that_o your_o majesty_n have_v hear_v
