a_o review_n of_o the_o reflection_n on_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n declaration_n 1._o the_o prince_n unwillingness_n to_o charge_v the_o government_n with_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v evident_a and_o undeniable_a afford_v the_o reflection_n with_o which_o this_o paper_n begin_v that_o all_o the_o noise_n of_o a_o secret_a league_n with_o france_n have_v be_v only_o a_o feign_a danger_n and_o a_o false_a fear_n since_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v in_o the_o prince_n declaration_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o french_a ambassador_n assert_v it_o in_o a_o public_a audience_n and_o in_o a_o memorial_n give_v in_o to_o the_o state_n general_n at_o the_o hague_n and_o all_o the_o world_n have_v clear_o see_v through_o the_o grimmace_n that_o the_o court_n of_o england_n make_v upon_o it_o to_o mr._n skelton_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o court_n of_o france_n will_v have_v publish_v this_o alliance_n unless_o it_o have_v be_v make_v or_o that_o they_o will_v have_v make_v it_o unless_o they_o have_v see_v full_a power_n for_o it_o in_o mr._n skelton_n hand_n but_o after_o all_o as_o the_o article_n of_o it_o be_v secret_a ●o_o the_o court_n of_o england_n have_v disow_v it_o the_o prince_n exactness_n in_o not_o mention_v a_o doubtful_a thing_n deserve_v rather_o a_o reflection_n in_o his_o favour_n 2._o the_o reflector_n be_v offend_v at_o the_o prince_n use_v the_o style_n of_o we_o and_o we_o for_o it_o seem_v thou_o and_o thou_o be_v so_o dear_a to_o he_o that_o he_o can_v hear_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o that_o cant._n but_o though_o by_o the_o connivance_n of_o our_o court_n france_n have_v rob_v the_o prince_n of_o his_o principality_n yet_o the_o right_n and_o dignity_n of_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n remain_v still_o with_o he_o which_o will_v justify_v his_o speak_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n and_o the_o other_o term_n of_o authority_n that_o be_v in_o his_o declaration_n be_v the_o usual_a style_n of_o all_o that_o command_v army_n his_o use_v they_o import_v no_o more_o than_o that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o use_v force_n for_o the_o restore_a of_o our_o liberty_n and_o if_o the_o style_n be_v a_o little_a high_a it_o be_v their_o fault_n who_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o soft_a and_o humble_a representation_n and_o that_o have_v make_v it_o a_o crime_n so_o much_o as_o to_o petition_v 3._o there_o be_v nothing_o work_v more_o on_o weak_a people_n than_o the_o fasten_n a_o ill_a name_n even_o on_o the_o best_a action_n and_o therefore_o invasion_n be_v a_o term_n that_o natural_o give_v horror_n the_o reflector_n fasten_v that_o upon_o the_o prince_n attempt_n to_o save_v the_o nation_n but_o thing_n appear_v now_o too_o broad_a to_o be_v disguise_v and_o therefore_o the_o wise_a and_o worthy_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n esteem_v that_o to_o be_v a_o deliverance_n which_o be_v here_o call_v a_o invasion_n it_o be_v true_a the_o prince_n promise_v to_o send_v back_o his_o force_n which_o import_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o stay_v behind_o for_o he_o have_v engage_v to_o see_v a_o free_a parliament_n call_v and_o assemble_v must_v stay_v after_o his_o army_n be_v send_v away_o since_o no_o parliament_n can_v be_v choose_v with_o freedom_n while_o the_o nation_n be_v overawe_v by_o a_o military_a power_n but_o when_o that_o be_v lay_v down_o of_o all_o hand_n than_o the_o prince_n will_v be_v oblige_v to_o see_v the_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v make_v to_o the_o nation_n for_o a_o free_a parliament_n execute_v so_o that_o all_o the_o malicious_a insinuation_n of_o his_o aspire_a to_o be_v king_n which_o return_v so_o often_o in_o the_o reflection_n be_v throw_v out_o only_o to_o create_v a_o unjust_a jealousy_n of_o his_o highness_n intention_n 4._o the_o security_n which_o the_o reflector_n promise_v to_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o religion_n by_o the_o concurrence_n of_o protestant_n to_o save_v the_o court_n be_v now_o a_o little_a too_o late_o the_o same_o cheat_n will_v hardly_o pass_v twice_o this_o have_v once_o a_o great_a effect_n in_o bring_v the_o nation_n off_o from_o the_o design_n of_o the_o exclusion_n and_o man_n in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o their_o heart_n believe_v it_o but_o the_o court_n have_v take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o error_n and_o have_v succeed_v so_o effectual_o in_o it_o that_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o impose_v upon_o we_o to_o fancy_v that_o we_o can_v be_v so_o soon_o delude_v again_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n we_o know_v now_o by_o sad_a experience_n what_o all_o the_o promise_n and_o oath_n that_o a_o papist_n can_v make_v to_o protestant_n do_v signify_v and_o we_o see_v how_o little_a be_v to_o be_v build_v even_o on_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o prince_n when_o a_o jesuit_n have_v the_o keep_n of_o his_o conscience_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v any_o reproach_n on_o our_o religion_n if_o the_o nation_n come_v under_o the_o protection_n of_o a_o prince_n that_o have_v so_o near_o a_o interest_n in_o the_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n to_o preserve_v itself_o and_o the_o establish_v religion_n from_o the_o conspiracy_n of_o those_o who_o intend_v to_o destroy_v both_o and_o have_v make_v a_o great_a way_n in_o it_o and_o will_v have_v probable_o bring_v their_o design_n to_o a_o full_a ripeness_n this_o winter_n if_o the_o prince_n come_v have_v not_o check_v they_o the_o reflector_n think_v the_o prince_n ought_v to_o have_v turn_v his_o arm_n rather_o on_o france_n and_o allow_v that_o he_o have_v a_o just_a right_a to_o do_v it_o but_o england_n have_v a_o great_a title_n to_o his_o protection_n and_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v first_o take_v care_n of_o by_o he_o and_o when_o that_o be_v once_o do_v the_o proposition_n here_o make_v with_o relation_n to_o france_n may_v be_v more_o seasonable_a 5._o great_a exception_n be_v take_v because_o the_o prince_n find_v the_o invasion_n that_o be_v make_v on_o the_o protestant_a religion_n on_o this_o that_o it_o be_v the_o religion_n establish_v by_o law_n since_o our_o reflecter_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o not_o the_o legality_n of_o a_o religion_n that_o be_v its_o warrant_n and_o that_o otherwise_o paganism_n and_o judaisme_n have_v be_v still_o the_o establish_v religion_n but_o the_o reflector_n confound_v thing_n of_o different_a nature_n if_o we_o consider_v religion_n as_o it_o give_v we_o a_o title_n to_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o to_o eternal_a happiness_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v no_o regard_n but_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o but_o when_o religion_n be_v consider_v as_o the_o first_o of_o all_o civil_a right_n than_o the_o legal_a establishment_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o its_o title_n and_o if_o legislator_n have_v not_o change_v law_n paganism_n have_v be_v still_o the_o legal_a religion_n notwithstanding_o its_o falsehood_n and_o though_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v the_o only_a ground_n upon_o which_o we_o believe_v it_o yet_o it_o must_v become_v legal_a as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v true_a before_o we_o can_v claim_v the_o protection_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o government_n that_o have_v secure_v it_o to_o we_o so_o that_o to_o fight_v against_o popery_n where_o that_o be_v the_o establish_v religion_n 〈◊〉_d as_o certain_o a_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v a_o debt_n that_o we_o owe_v our_o religion_n and_o country_n to_o fight_v for_o the_o protestant_a religion_n when_o the_o law_n be_v for_o it_o and_o illegal_a violence_n be_v employ_v to_o pull_v it_o down_o 6_o the_o reflector_n common-place-stuff_n with_o relation_n to_o the_o dispence_a power_n have_v be_v so_o oft_o expose_v that_o it_o scarce_o deserve_v a_o review_n the_o obligation_n of_o all_o law_n depend_v on_o the_o force_n of_o the_o penalty_n against_o transgressor_n so_o that_o the_o dispense_v with_o penal_a law_n carry_v in_o it_o the_o dispense_v with_o all_o law_n whatsoever_o and_o by_o this_o doctrine_n the_o whole_a frame_n and_o security_n of_o our_o government_n be_v at_o the_o king_n discretion_n nor_o will_v that_o distinction_n of_o malum_fw-la in_o se_fw-la and_o malum_fw-la prohibitum_fw-la save_o the_o matter_n unless_o all_o the_o world_n be_v agree_v upon_o the_o point_n what_o thing_n be_v evil_a of_o themselves_o and_o what_o not_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o papist_n all_o the_o law_n against_o their_o religion_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v obligatory_a of_o their_o own_o nature_n that_o they_o be_v impious_a attempt_n upon_o that_o authority_n which_o they_o think_v infallible_a therefore_o all_o the_o distinction_n that_o be_v offer_v to_o save_v we_o from_o the_o exorbitancy_n of_o this_o dispense_v power_n as_o if_o it_o can_v not_o reach_v to_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a of_o themselves_o be_v of_o no_o force_n unless_o a_o
