simple_a and_o uncompounded_a state_n for_o here_o be_v a_o single_a person_n endue_v with_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o power_n for_o dispatch_n and_o to_o discharge_v the_o executive_a part_n without_o danger_n of_o a_o long_a last_a tyranny_n many_o councillor_n in_o who_o the_o scripture_n say_v there_o be_v safety_n nobles_n and_o commons_o come_v from_o all_o quarter_n of_o the_o land_n as_o eye-witness_n of_o the_o several_a exigency_n of_o the_o state_n and_o tie_v up_o to_o all_o imaginable_a sincerity_n by_o their_o own_o interest_n i_o say_v the_o prince_n have_v these_o to_o assist_v and_o join_v with_o he_o in_o the_o deliberative_a and_o legislative_a part_n without_o danger_n of_o ambitious_a faction_n too_o frequent_a in_o simple_a aristocracy_n or_o disorder_a confusion_n which_o many_o time_n happen_v in_o simple_a democracy_n each_o of_o these_o estate_n by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o government_n moderate_v and_o restrain_v from_o excess_n the_o power_n of_o the_o other_o now_o therefore_o whatever_o shall_v destroy_v this_o coalition_n and_o mixture_n and_o place_v the_o whole_a balance_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o any_o one_o of_o the_o power_n can_v you_o think_v it_o warrant_v by_o the_o policy_n of_o our_o constitution_n and_o whether_o a_o single_a power_n choose_v whether_o ever_o a_o parliament_n shall_v sit_v or_o no_o or_o if_o assemble_a whether_o it_o shall_v continue_v a_o convenient_a time_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n or_o no_o do_v not_o amount_v to_o as_o much_o be_v high_o worth_a your_o consideration_n tu._n i_o remember_v you_o tell_v i_o that_o statute_n have_v be_v make_v for_o the_o annual_a sit_v of_o parliament_n suppose_v that_o heretofore_o those_o law_n be_v literal_o put_v into_o execution_n for_o several_a year_n successive_o writ_n go_v out_o at_o the_o day_n the_o county_n and_o corporation_n think_v to_o build_v up_o a_o sanctuary_n for_o their_o hope_n and_o fear_n cheerful_o neglect_v their_o seeds-time_n and_o harvest_n and_o with_o great_a charge_n and_o trouble_v make_v their_o election_n the_o elect_a member_n leave_v their_o family_n and_o estate_n behind_o they_o and_o make_v long_a pilgrimage_n in_o order_n to_o attend_v upon_o the_o public_a service_n but_o have_v scarce_o ever_o time_n to_o pull_v off_o their_o boot_n before_o they_o be_v dismiss_v again_o by_o a_o prorogation_n or_o dissolution_n will_v the_o true_a intent_n of_o those_o statute_n be_v thus_o satisfy_v and_o do_v the_o legislator_n intend_v nothing_o more_o by_o they_o than_o that_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o shall_v have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o come_v up_o to_o the_o parliament-house_n pure_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o go_v down_o again_o pu._n upon_o my_o word_n tutor_n you_o be_v fine_o come_v on_o in_o a_o little_a time_n i_o think_v you_o begin_v to_o speak_v warm_o of_o these_o matter_n but_o a_o little_a excess_n of_o zeal_n be_v natural_a to_o a_o new_a convert_n or_o be_v it_o because_o your_o pupil_n be_v all_o go_v into_o the_o country_n whereas_o a_o walk_n to_o heddington_n or_o shotove_a hill_n may_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_n as_o thing_n fall_v out_o afterward_o have_v a_o towns-man_n make_v such_o remark_n i_o shall_v have_v think_v the_o cold_a meat_n stick_v upon_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o he_o have_v be_v out_o of_o humour_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o boarder_n but_o however_o the_o case_n be_v with_o you_o good_a tutor_n have_v a_o care_n of_o extreme_n and_o by_o way_n of_o antidote_n let_v i_o advise_v you_o to_o resume_v your_o old_a temper_n a_o little_a though_o it_o be_v but_o for_o discourse-sake_n and_o let_v we_o hear_v how_o you_o use_v to_o comfort_v yourselves_o upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n tu._n very_o well_o sir_n i_o be_o very_o glad_a you_o can_v be_v so_o merry_a and_o though_o your_o discourse_n have_v make_v a_o great_a impression_n upon_o i_o than_o you_o be_v aware_a of_o yet_o for_o once_o i_o will_v comply_v with_o your_o humour_n and_o tell_v you_o what_o we_o general_o say_v in_o vindication_n of_o the_o late_a and_o former_a dissolution_n to_o begin_v therefore_o with_o the_o last_o parliament_n but_o one_o do_v it_o not_o open_a with_o all_o imaginable_a expression_n of_o grace_n and_o favour_n from_o the_o king_n that_o any_o good_a subject_n can_v desire_v either_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o religion_n his_o liberty_n and_o property_n at_o home_n or_o for_o support_v our_o neighbour_n and_o ally_n abroad_o nay_o do_v not_o the_o king_n invite_v the_o house_n to_o use_v all_o mean_n for_o their_o security_n except_v only_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o succession_n and_o when_o in_o order_n to_o these_o end_n and_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o tangier_n a_o supply_n be_v ask_v not_o one_o penny_n will_v be_v grant_v pu._n i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o general_a act_n of_o pardon_n that_o at_o first_o sight_n make_v a_o great_a show_n of_o grace_n and_o indemnity_n but_o when_o a_o transgressor_n come_v to_o look_v over_o the_o exception_n he_o be_v common_o bilk_v in_o his_o expectation_n and_o you_o will_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o prefer_v the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o succession_n to_o the_o security_n of_o religion_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o much_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o i_o will_v willing_o learn_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o zealous_a papist_n to_o be_v a_o good_a defender_n of_o the_o protestant_a faith_n but_o i_o reserve_v myself_o in_o this_o point_n till_o you_o give_v i_o far_a occasion_n as_o to_o other_o matter_n pray_v sir_n consider_v that_o we_o have_v long_o labour_v under_o a_o damnable_a popish_a plot_n and_o that_o from_o coleman_n paper_n and_o what_o witness_n have_v swear_v it_o plain_o

do_v either_o good_a or_o hurt_n expression_n may_v do_v neither_o and_o by_o parliament-calculation_n which_o by_o the_o way_n i_o think_v more_o authentic_a than_o the_o cabal_n we_o can_v tell_v the_o time_n when_o a_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n raise_v to_o supply_v extraordinary_a occasion_n be_v employ_v to_o make_v war_n upon_o a_o protestant_a state_n and_o to_o advance_v the_o

will_v be_v as_o currant_n as_o money_n nor_o likely_a to_o give_v the_o king_n half_o so_o much_o satisfaction_n pu._n real_o tutor_n if_o by_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o government_n a_o

yet_o under_o favour_n i_o think_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o have_v a_o fundamental_a share_n in_o the_o legislative_a part_n &_o guardianship_n of_o the_o government_n be_v bind_v in_o
