the_o strong_a that_o a_o prince_n driven_z out_o of_o his_o strong_a hold_n by_o a_o more_o potent_a army_n then_o his_o own_o shall_v also_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n have_v nothing_o

the_o restitution_n of_o our_o king_n be_v a_o mercy_n at_o this_o time_n more_o oppose_v then_o ever_o you_o know_v the_o king_n be_v former_o oppose_v by_o the_o sword_n yea_o but_o now_o he_o

this_o discourse_n and_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o reader_n only_o i_o think_v fit_a yet_o to_o add_v a_o few_o word_n 1._o to_o his_o maiestie_n friend_n and_o 2._o to_o his_o majesty_n himself_o 1._o to_o you_o who_o be_v or_o at_o least_o pretend_v to_o be_v his_o majesty_n best_a friend_n and_o most_o loyal_a subject_n a_o word_n of_o advice_n in_o two_o particular_n 1._o be_v advise_v that_o you_o do_v not_o idolise_v instrument_n god_n have_v now_o wrought_v a_o signal_n deliverance_n for_o this_o nation_n of_o england_n in_o the_o restitution_n of_o his_o king_n and_o we_o god_n have_v give_v in_o this_o mercy_n by_o miraculous_a way_n and_o mean_n sure_o the_o work_n be_v god_n and_o if_o so_o let_v the_o glory_n be_v his_o too_o not_o but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a respect_n and_o honour_v due_a to_o our_o renown_a general_n who_o be_v indeed_o a_o glorious_a instrument_n but_o still_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n god_n have_v high_o honour_v he_o in_o that_o work_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o unthankful_a if_o in_o his_o place_n we_o do_v not_o honour_v he_o for_o it_o but_o still_o though_o we_o may_v look_v upon_o the_o instrùment_n yet_o we_o must_v look_v above_o it_o let_v we_o be_v thankful_a to_o instrument_n but_o withal_o let_v we_o be_v sober_a too_o let_v we_o give_v man_n what_o be_v man_n but_o god_n what_o be_v god_n pay_v the_o one_o rob_v not_o the_o other_o 2._o be_v advise_v that_o you_o do_v not_o abuse_v this_o signal_n mercy_n of_o god_n to_o we_o and_o we_o it_o be_v sad_a to_o consider_v that_o many_o gentleman_n and_o other_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o most_o loyal_a subject_n of_o england_n do_v upon_o that_o account_n grow_v most_o profane_a some_o man_n allegiance_n be_v little_o evidence_v but_o only_o in_o drink_v his_o majesty_n health_n man_n never_o valiant_a but_o when_o half_o drink_v never_o more_o for_o the_o king_n then_o when_o they_o be_v not_o for_o themselves_o sure_o i_o be_o such_o person_n be_v like_a to_o do_v the_o king_n more_o injury_n in_o the_o tavern_n than_o service_n in_o the_o field_n instead_o of_o drink_v the_o king_n health_n i_o fear_v they_o have_v drink_v one_o king_n death_n already_o they_o mingle_v the_o king_n blood_n with_o their_o own_o wine_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o many_o of_o our_o late_a gracious_a king_n friend_n prove_v the_o worst_a of_o his_o enemy_n they_o be_v the_o man_n that_o shame_v the_o cause_n which_o they_o own_v and_o destroy-the_a king_n pretend_v to_o defend_v he_o gentleman_n if_o you_o look_v upon_o our_o present_a sovereign_n as_o a_o prince_n likely_a to_o encourage_v profane_v i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o you_o do_v the_o king_n more_o wrong_a than_o they_o which_o late_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o the_o common_a enemy_n it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o say_v whether_o the_o king_n suffer_v more_o by_o the_o pretendly_a pious_a rebel_n or_o by_o the_o profane_a pretend_a loyalist_n the_o sin_n of_o a_o profane_a loyalist_n draw_v that_o sword_n which_o the_o hand_n of_o rebel_n fight_v with_o the_o rebel_n kill_v with_o a_o threaten_v the_o profane_a loyalist_n wound_n with_o a_o compliment_n but_o how_o ever_o if_o by_o the_o restitution_n of_o our_o king_n man_n expect_v a_o restitution_n either_o of_o profane_v on_o the_o one_o hand_n or_o superstition_n on_o the_o other_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o as_o god_n have_v disappoint_v the_o sad_a fear_n of_o his_o saint_n so_o also_o our_o king_n himself_o will_v disappoint_v the_o wicked_a hope_n
