the_o present_a great_a interest_n both_o of_o king_n and_o people_z in_o a_o letter_n write_a to_o one_o of_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o privy-council_n by_o a_o lover_n of_o his_o king_n and_o country_n my_o lord_n i_o have_v so_o often_o resolve_v to_o wait_v on_o your_o lordship_n and_o as_o often_o be_v disappoint_v of_o those_o resolution_n by_o such_o public_a concern_v as_o do_v intervene_v that_o i_o now_o resolve_v what_o shall_v then_o have_v be_v the_o subject_n of_o my_o discourse_n with_o your_o lordship_n have_v my_o occasion_n permit_v i_o to_o come_v to_o london_n shall_v be_v now_o comprise_v in_o this_o short_a epistle_n and_o i_o hope_v your_o lordship_n will_v not_o despise_v the_o well_o mean_v offer_v of_o your_o lordship_n old_a acquaintance_n my_o lord_n among_o the_o rest_n of_o other_o matter_n during_o twenty_o year_n last_o pass_v i_o have_v particular_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a public_a occurrence_n that_o have_v be_v in_o this_o nation_n and_o when_o i_o review_v they_o to_o i_o they_o seem_v strange_a i_o will_v only_o observe_v with_o your_o lordship_n leave_n these_o thing_n first_o my_o lord_n you_o can_v but_o remember_v with_o what_o a_o universal_a joy_n do_v all_o party_n among_o we_o even_o as_o one_o man_n receive_v the_o king_n at_o his_o return_n england_n look_v like_o the_o most_o peaceable_a paradise_n in_o the_o world_n we_o begin_v to_o entertain_v the_o old_a english_a spirit_n again_o of_o love_n and_o loyalty_n but_o behold_v how_o soon_o be_v our_o grow_a hope_n blast_v all_o hand_n at_o work_n to_o hinder_v any_o settlement_n either_o in_o church_n or_o state_n first_o the_o old_a enemy_n of_o our_o religion_n the_o papist_n attempt_v the_o great_a personage_n with_o their_o

but_o king_n james_n i_o remember_v tell_v we_o he_o know_v that_o sort_n of_o man_n very_o well_o that_o they_o will_v be_v always_o demand_v alteration_n in_o religious_a establishment_n but_o can_v

which_o will_v have_v neither_o church_n nor_o monarchy_n as_o establish_v but_o overturn_v all_o to_o bring_v down_o our_o saviour_n to_o reign_v personal_o among_o they_o and_o no_o doubt_n he_o will_v have_v have_v admirable_a subject_n 4._o with_o these_o in_o come_v a_o torrent_n of_o atheism_n and_o debauchery_n as_o if_o all_o sense_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n be_v quite_o obliterated_a out_o of_o their_o mind_n what_o curse_v swear_v whore_v blaspheme_v even_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n all_o manner_n of_o filthiness_n even_o to_o a_o prodigy_n and_o he_o be_v no_o

late_o make_v our_o citizen_n statesman_n too_o who_o business_n lie_v quite_o another_o way_n one_o will_v think_v every_o little_a ale-draper_n now_o can_v tell_v what_o the_o privy-councel_n

endeavour_v the_o king_n restoration_n now_o my_o lord_n we_o have_v bring_v ourselves_o to_o a_o very_a fine_a pass_n let_v i_o but_o a_o little_a animadvert_v on_o what_o i_o have_v observe_v and_o then_o propose_v some_o remedy_n for_o the_o cure_n of_o our_o present_a misery_n my_o lord_n methinks_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v impossible_a that_o these_o thing_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o our_o day_n as_o we_o now_o see_v when_o we_o have_v groan_v twenty_o year_n under_o the_o several_a tyranny_n of_o mechanic_n prince_n reformation_n workman_n sanctify_a covenanter_n preach_v cobbler_n and_o what_o not_o that_o our_o great_a one_o shall_v so_o far_o forget_v themselves_o as_o to_o hearken_v to_o the_o secret_a whisper_n of_o those_o antichristian_a trader_n to_o endeavour_v a_o return_n to_o that_o slavery_n under_o which_o most_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o europe_n have_v lie_v many_o year_n to_o countenance_v a_o religion_n so_o full_a of_o wickedness_n of_o all_o sort_n to_o plot_n contrive_v the_o death_n of_o prince_n in_o order_n to_o their_o design_n sure_o protestant_n religion_n be_v never_o well_o ground_v in_o these_o person_n or_o if_o it_o have_v they_o have_v sin_v away_o all_o sense_n of_o it_o that_o teach_v other_o thing_n in_o christianity_n indeed_o as_o for_o the_o female_a sort_n that_o have_v depart_v from_o our_o church_n to_o that_o of_o rome_n of_o late_a year_n they_o be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o our_o church_n and_o no_o protection_n or_o allowance_n in_o it_o to_o those_o adultery_n and_o fornication_n which_o be_v their_o daily_a practice_n so_o that_o no_o wonder_n they_o be_v depart_v since_o into_o that_o church_n where_o they_o can_v sin_v and_o repent_v etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o be_v as_o innocent_a as_o the_o late_a saint_n depart_v at_o tyburn_n and_o again_o methinks_v the_o ill_a success_n our_o discontent_a brethren_n have_v in_o their_o former_a erterprise_n for_o reformation_n the_o misery_n murder_n ruin_n both_o to_o church_n and_o state_n loss_n of_o one_o of_o the_o best_a of_o king_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o leader_n shall_v deter_v they_o from_o attempt_v the_o like_a again_o but_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v observe_v among_o those_o sort_n of_o man_n a_o spirit_n full_a of_o trouble_n and_o discontent_n let_v the_o time_n be_v good_a or_o bad_a for_o they_o be_v and_o must_v be_v even_o as_o they_o fancy_n true_o if_o law_n wise_o contrive_v to_o keep_v we_o all_o quiet_a be_v put_v in_o execution_n against_o they_o oh_o then_o the_o belove_a doctrine_n of_o persecution_n be_v hold_v forth_o powerful_o to_o untie_v the_o purse-string_n of_o the_o good_a woman_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o to_o say_v truth_n they_o have_v then_o the_o best_a harvest_n well_o but_o if_o no_o law_n be_v put_v in-execution_n against_o they_o and_o they_o be_v permit_v to_o say_v and_o do_v what_o they_o please_v true_o then_o one_o or_o other_o of_o the_o bishop_n be_v suspect_v popish_o incline_v and_o sometime_o they_o be_v all_o so_o but_o two_o then_o again_o if_o a_o sound_a able_a preacher_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o two_o appear_v against_o their_o
