it_o be_v the_o extreme_a violation_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o govern_n and_o legislative_a power_n which_o if_o not_o hold_v sacred_a in_o one_o point_n it_o have_v no_o security_n of_o be_v so_o

when_o any_o man_n meet_v with_o protection_n or_o covert_n from_o any_o unjust_a or_o misguide_v sentence_n of_o judgement_n when_o either_o his_o false_a title_n be_v confirm_v or_o his_o injury_n

time_n that_o by_o and_o by_o the_o storm_n will_v certain_o beat_v through_o the_o covert_a and_o then_o his_o station_n will_v be_v able_a to_o afford_v he_o no_o safety_n then_o he_o will_v complain_v of_o that_o success_n which_o now_o he_o call_v his_o good_a fortune_n and_o wish_v that_o either_o force_n have_v bring_v he_o to_o right_o or_o shame_n to_o repentance_n that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v take_v refuge_n under_o some_o more_o durable_a shelter_n you_o therefore_o whosoever_o pretend_v to_o have_v favour_n for_o any_o who_o fault_n have_v make_v they_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o law_n show_v your_o friendship_n in_o this_o help_v to_o clear_v they_o against_o the_o great_a assize_n help_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o satisfaction_n and_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v absolute_a cruelty_n to_o assist_v a_o man_n from_o be_v just_a and_o good_n and_o you_o my_o lord_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o offer_v you_o one_o advice_n which_o be_v this_o that_o you_o will_v look_v upon_o yourselves_o and_o your_o assistant_n as_o the_o most_o lively_a resemblance_n that_o the_o world_n afford_v of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n come_v in_o the_o cloud_n with_o his_o holy_a angel_n be_v please_v therefore_o but_o to_o think_v this_o of_o yourselves_o and_o to_o act_v in_o contemplation_n of_o this_o resemblance_n and_o then_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o all_o you_o do_v will_v tend_v to_o the_o public_a welfare_n and_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o he_o for_o who_o you_o be_v to_o judge_n to_o who_o be_v glory_n and_o thanksgiving_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o amen_n
