a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n perhaps_o mankind_n may_v not_o be_v the_o worse_a for_o part_v with_o some_o of_o the_o mystery_n of_o priest-craft_n but_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o decalogue_n make_v it_o as_o convenient_a as_o it_o be_v divine_a it_o will_v be_v a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o maintain_v good_a order_n in_o family_n if_o child_n may_v disobey_v and_o dishonour_v their_o parent_n property_n if_o all_o have_v a_o licence_n to_o steal_v truth_n if_o it_o be_v no_o long_o a_o fault_n to_o belie_v and_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o our_o neighbour_n i_o know_v a_o prince_n that_o have_v conquer_v all_o sense_n of_o these_o commandment_n have_v covet_v and_o wear_v his_o neighbour_n his_o '_o father_n crown_n and_o take_v god_n name_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o in_o vain_a to_o colour_v over_o the_o murder_v he_o with_o his_o army_n judge_n and_o juries_n commit_v and_o the_o perjury_n to_o which_o he_o enslave_v other_o and_o clergyman_n themselves_o who_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v innocent_a and_o unspotted_a that_o their_o conversation_n as_o well_o as_o their_o pulpit_n may_v have_v teach_v their_o flock_n i_o wish_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o world_n the_o example_n of_o prince_n and_o priest_n may_v not_o be_v too_o prevalent_a or_o that_o they_o will_v publish_v what_o school-distinction_n make_v these_o thing_n lawful_a for_o they_o that_o be_v prohibit_v to_o subject_n and_o the_o laity_n religion_n be_v useful_a here_o as_o well_o as_o promise_n happiness_n hereafter_o i_o will_v have_v that_o sacred_a awe_n that_o due_a regard_n to_o it_o keep_v up_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o wellbeing_a in_o this_o and_o our_o hope_n of_o a_o better_a life_n i_o shall_v be_v sorry_a to_o see_v the_o world_n full_o persuade_v that_o it_o be_v a_o juggle_v between_o the_o learned_a and_o the_o great_a and_o be_o sorry_a that_o a_o late_a change_n give_v too_o much_o umbrage_n for_o such_o a_o suggestion_n i_o have_v rather_o have_v a_o comprehensive_a archbishop_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v never_o pass_v through_o water_n baptism_n nor_o believe_v the_o athanasian_n creed_n than_o that_o he_o shall_v pare_v off_o moral_a virtue_n or_o leave_v we_o less_o than_o heathen_n parricide_n be_v not_o use_v in_o all_o their_o panegyric_n to_o finish_v the_o hero_n oath_n be_v hold_v sacred_a and_o alliance_n too_o nor_o do_v i_o remember_v one_o instance_n where_o there_o be_v such_o complicate_v villainy_n commit_v as_o i_o can_v give_v a_o fresh_a instance_n of_o to_o obtain_v greatness_n no_o it_o be_v their_o severe_a philosophy_n their_o justice_n their_o honour_n as_o well_o as_o the_o discipline_n of_o their_o army_n make_v way_n for_o the_o roman_a conquest_n they_o seldom_o teach_v the_o subject_n of_o neighbour_a prince_n to_o rebel_n irritate_v they_o to_o discontent_n and_o faction_n or_o invite_v they_o to_o their_o banner_n paganism_n be_v not_o instruct_v in_o this_o art_n of_o war_n but_o it_o be_v the_o peculiar_a discovery_n of_o some_o late_a reformer_n who_o be_v not_o much_o the_o better_a for_o their_o christianity_n but_o i_o shall_v leave_v every_o body_n to_o their_o own_o reflection_n and_o they_o may_v easy_o find_v how_o agreeable_a these_o thing_n be_v to_o religion_n and_o how_o much_o it_o be_v mend_v yet_o by_o the_o way_n i_o have_v still_o one_o remain_v fear_n in_o church_n matter_n if_o the_o gentleman_n that_o can_v not_o be_v choose_v prolocutor_n to_o the_o convocation_n can_v now_o in_o his_o great_a post_n influence_n the_o clergy_n into_o state_n article_n and_o state_n discipline_n comprehension_n be_v worse_a both_o for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n man_n and_o dissenter_n for_o neither_o of_o they_o then_o will_v unmix_o and_o conscientious_o enjoy_v their_o own_o opinion_n and_o though_o the_o communion_n will_v be_v enlarge_v it_o will_v be_v by_o make_v both_o party_n hypocrite_n and_o though_o those_o that_o be_v leave_v out_o of_o the_o project_n may_v have_v liberty_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o that_o will_v be_v in_o danger_n unless_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v sweeten_v far_o of_o late_a than_o be_v common_a heretofore_o with_o that_o sect_n who_o because_o they_o think_v man_n predestinate_v to_o eternal_a punishment_n in_o the_o next_o world_n begin_v that_o doom_n with_o they_o here_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o who_o be_v god_n minister_n or_o rather_o executioner_n have_v power_n but_o let_v we_o see_v how_o much_o our_o constitution_n be_v amend_v by_o all_o the_o step_n that_o our_o patriot_n have_v take_v a_o dispute_v election_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o whig_n never_o like_v before_o recommend_v mr._n poll_n to_o the_o speaker_n chair_n i_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o it_o will_v be_v allow_v to_o publish_v my_o private_a sense_n concern_v the_o authority_n of_o parliament_n i_o think_v they_o rather_o depute_v by_o the_o people_n under_o the_o instruction_n of_o our_o common_a law_n and_o bound_v by_o our_o common_a right_n than_o such_o plenipotentiary_n power_n as_o may_v give_v away_o at_o their_o pleasure_n the_o life_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a therefore_o i_o have_v serious_o question_v whether_o that_o parliament_n which_o be_v of_o k._n w._n and_o self_n creation_n and_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n a_o convention_n summon_v without_o writ_n i_o have_v like_a to_o have_v say_v without_o authority_n i_o say_v i_o have_v question_v whether_o the_o member_n of_o that_o parliament_n do_v not_o exceed_v their_o commission_n whilst_o contrary_a to_o the_o know_a law_n of_o england_n they_o suspend_v the_o habeas_fw-la corpus_fw-la which_o be_v the_o right_n of_o every_o english_a man_n by_o writ_n before_o it_o be_v by_o statute_n and_o enact_v martial_a law_n these_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o that_o convention_n and_o the_o present_a parliament_n let_v they_o all_o pass_v i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o unwilling_a to_o allow_v even_o a_o parliament_n omnipotent_a and_o infallible_a there_o be_v a_o ancient_a custom_n for_o the_o elector_n to_o give_v their_o representative_n instruction_n when_o they_o choose_v they_o i_o wish_v it_o have_v be_v revive_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o revolution_n perhaps_o there_o have_v not_o be_v then_o such_o infraction_n make_v upon_o our_o constitution_n our_o government_n have_v not_o be_v change_v into_o elective_a our_o liberty_n prostitute_v to_o the_o will_n of_o six_o privy_a counselor_n nor_o a_o poor_a fellow_n hang_v who_o for_o his_o family_n sake_n desert_v his_o captain_n who_o have_v list_v he_o when_o he_o be_v drink_v nor_o so_o many_o shot_n and_o hang_v for_o trivial_a crime_n i_o think_v they_o may_v as_o well_o make_v a_o law_n to_o kill_v every_o old_a man_n that_o be_v past_o serve_v the_o commonwealth_n and_o drown_v all_o ill-favoured_a child_n or_o enact_v any_o other_o extravagant_a

in_o the_o house_n indeed_o i_o must_v allow_v if_o they_o may_v act_v as_o they_o please_v and_o uncontrollable_o these_o thing_n they_o may_v do_v but_o this_o thought_n of_o raise_v money_n as_o unreasonable_o as_o they_o please_v put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o new_a project_n i_o hear_v be_v to_o be_v offer_v at_o the_o next_o session_n of_o this_o parliament_n king_n james_n indeed_o have_v none_o but_o how_o much_o do_v we_o complain_v in_o king_n charles_n the_o second_v time_n of_o poll_n and_o subsidy_n but_o to_o this_o gentleman_n we_o have_v pay_v two_o poll_n and_o near_o half_a our_o income_n consider_v the_o scarcity_n of_o trade_n and_o of_o money_n and_o now_o the_o new_a project_n be_v for_o a_o general_n excise_n if_o mr._n hampden_n advise_v the_o lay_v aside_o
