book_n of_o sport_n and_o encourage_v formality_n and_o the_o external_n pomp_n of_o the_o church_n to_o gratify_v that_o faction_n and_o for_o injustice_n i_o have_v already_o name_v the_o root_n of_o it_o affectation_n of_o unlimited_a prerogative_n and_o absoluteness_n which_o produce_v more_o illegal_a proceed_n and_o unjust_a action_n than_o can_v convenient_o be_v enumerate_v here_o in_o particular_a and_o beside_o such_o another_o faction_n in_o the_o state._n these_o like_o the_o wicked_a policy_n of_o jeroboam_n stick_v so_o close_o to_o his_o house_n and_o so_o prevail_v in_o his_o posterity_n that_o they_o produce_v at_o length_n the_o like_a unhappy_a consequence_n to_o they_o and_o though_o it_o can_v hardly_o be_v imagine_v that_o so_o wise_a virtuous_a and_o generous_a a_o prince_n as_o yourself_o shall_v ever_o fall_v especial_o after_o such_o example_n of_o caution_n into_o such_o error_n and_o miscarriage_n so_o contrary_a to_o your_o own_o public_a declaration_n and_o to_o the_o avow_a end_n of_o your_o expedition_n yet_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o many_o eminent_a person_n who_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v design_v for_o great_a matter_n and_o have_v be_v carry_v on_o a_o great_a way_n by_o a_o very_a propitious_a providence_n have_v notwithstanding_o by_o some_o unhappy_a miscarriage_n or_o neglect_v of_o the_o opportunity_n put_v into_o their_o hand_n interrupt_v the_o course_n of_o that_o favourable_a providence_n and_o be_v desert_v by_o it_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o caution_n be_v not_o unreasonable_a and_o it_o will_v appear_v the_o more_o reasonable_a if_o we_o consider_v first_o the_o subtle_a insinuate_a and_o prolific_a nature_n of_o sin_n and_o from_o what_o small_a beginning_n it_o insensible_o grow_v up_o to_o a_o full_a maturity_n whereof_o we_o have_v very_o remarkable_a example_n in_o the_o great_a person_n before_o mention_v how_o indulgence_n to_o papist_n in_o king_n james_n the_o first_o come_v at_o last_o to_o such_o zeal_n for_o popery_n in_o king_n james_n the_o second_o as_o lose_v he_o his_o kingdom_n how_o contempt_n of_o preciseness_n in_o king_n james_n the_o first_o come_v at_o

to_o do_v it_o but_o every_o special_a and_o extraordinary_a opportunity_n and_o advantage_n a_o special_a obligation_n of_o subservience_n to_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n upon_o that_o occasion_n and_o such_o a_o obligation_n as_o be_v never_o neglect_v by_o any_o man_n without_o loss_n trouble_v or_o some_o great_a mischief_n to_o himself_o 3._o and_o yet_o the_o more_o reasonable_a still_o will_v it_o appear_v if_o we_o further_o consider_v the_o great_a obligation_n which_o that_o extraordinary_a providence_n which_o have_v conduct_v you_o and_o the_o thing_n to_o which_o it_o have_v lead_v you_o do_v necessary_o infer_v both_o for_o caution_n and_o action_n god_n by_o your_o hand_n as_o his_o visible_a instrument_n but_o indeed_o by_o his_o own_o invisible_a power_n and_o minister_n have_v drive_v out_o popery_n and_o arbitrariness_n before_o you_o subject_v a_o formidable_a army_n much_o more_o considerable_a than_o your_o own_o unto_o you_o and_o bring_v you_o with_o a_o easy_a course_n to_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o public_a affair_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o thus_o far_o all_o be_v well_o but_o here_o we_o come_v to_o a_o critical_a point_n and_o of_o some_o danger_n 1._o lest_o it_o be_v think_v that_o all_o be_v do_v and_o nothing_o more_o remain_v which_o may_v produce_v a_o unhappy_a neglect_n through_o non-attendance_n to_o your_o call_v and_o to_o the_o further_a design_n of_o providence_n and_o that_o a_o relapse_n of_o all_o again_o 2._o lest_o we_o fall_v into_o the_o old_a unhappy_a error_n through_o the_o fallacy_n of_o that_o spurious_a wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n for_o though_o there_o be_v now_o no_o temptation_n to_o any_o politic_a compliance_n with_o papist_n yet_o be_v there_o two_o other_o nation_n of_o kin_n to_o they_o which_o must_v be_v subdue_v and_o all_o league_n and_o compliance_n with_o they_o avoid_v the_o debauch_a on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o factious_a on_o the_o other_o though_o the_o debauch_v be_v as_o moral_o factious_a as_o any_o but_o by_o faction_n i_o intend_v here_o as_o well_o those_o zealot_n for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o be_v real_o such_o as_o many_o be_v in_o a_o high_a degree_n as_o other_o who_o be_v such_o for_o their_o several_a party_n the_o true_a and_o effectual_a way_n to_o allay_v and_o extinguish_v the_o present_a faction_n be_v very_o

and_o factious_a act_n of_o parliament_n it_o be_v now_o know_v and_o believe_v by_o man_n of_o good_a intelligence_n that_o not_o only_o the_o than_o d._n of_o york_n but_o k._n charles_n 2._o also_o
