a_o essay_n upon_o the_o change_n of_o manner_n be_v a_o second_o part_n of_o the_o true_a protestant_n appeal_v to_o the_o city_n and_o country_z it_o have_v be_v observe_v that_o all_o art_n science_n custom_n and_o the_o several_a disposition_n of_o mankind_n have_v act_v their_o part_n by_o turn_v in_o this_o world_n sometime_o one_o be_v most_o in_o vogue_n and_o request_n in_o such_o a_o country_n where_o after_o have_v reign_v some_o time_n it_o be_v force_v to_o give_v ground_n and_o quit_v the_o throne_n to_o some_o other_o new_a humour_n of_o the_o age_n which_o have_v have_v its_o turn_n be_v likewise_o oblige_v to_o retire_v and_o make_v place_n for_o another_o and_o all_o this_o remark_n will_v reach_v i_o suppose_v to_o point_n of_o religion_n itself_o or_o at_o least_o to_o those_o of_o heresy_n but_o i_o believe_v it_o have_v hardly_o ever_o be_v know_v that_o any_o one_o humour_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o country_n have_v come_v twice_o upon_o the_o stage_n by_o the_o same_o method_n and_o pace_n the_o second_o time_n as_o it_o do_v the_o former_a within_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o year_n which_o make_v it_o seem_v strange_a that_o the_o present_a at_o least_o seem_v design_n upon_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o its_o head_n next_o under_o god_n the_o king_n shall_v have_v that_o full_a carrier_n and_o meet_v with_o that_o kind_a reception_n as_o they_o now_o do_v by_o number_n of_o people_n indeed_o the_o difference_n be_v that_o the_o late_a sad_a time_n be_v usher_v in_o by_o a_o pretend_a popish_a plot_n and_o the_o present_a by_o a_o hellish_a true_a and_o real_a one_o but_o its_o neck_n be_v i_o hope_v break_v i_o know_v not_o why_o it_o shall_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o the_o carry_v on_o the_o same_o design_n as_o bring_v we_o so_o late_o into_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n and_o make_v we_o groan_v under_o the_o heavy_a yoke_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n that_o ever_o any_o nation_n be_v oppress_v with_o i_o say_v i_o can_v imagine_v how_o people_n can_v be_v so_o insensible_a as_o to_o be_v lure_v and_o blind_v by_o the_o same_o paint_n and_o pretext_n as_o draw_v they_o and_o but_o so_o late_o into_o the_o extreme_a misery_n and_o desolation_n be_v not_o a_o pretend_a conspiracy_n of_o the_o papist_n a_o prologue_n to_o those_o sad_a catastrophee_n be_v not_o there_o as_o full_a a_o cry_n then_o as_o there_o be_v now_o against_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o the_o promoter_n of_o it_o be_v not_o the_o chief_a minister_n and_o pillar_n of_o the_o royal_a authority_n first_o malicious_o and_o false_o accuse_v and_o then_o pull_v down_o before_o they_o strike_v at_o the_o crown_n itself_o nay_o have_v the_o rebel_n not_o or_o at_o least_o do_v they_o not_o pretend_v to_o have_v in_o the_o great_a heat_n and_o fury_n of_o the_o war_n that_o veneration_n respect_n and_o care_n for_o his_o late_a majesty_n as_o to_o insert_v in_o all_o their_o general_n commission_n the_o clause_n of_o endeavour_v to_o save_v his_o sacred_a person_n from_o danger_n and_o do_v they_o not_o give_v out_o that_o they_o only_o aim_v at_o secure_v and_o recover_v his_o person_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o such_o as_o abuse_v his_o authority_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o prospect_n than_o reform_v the_o state_n but_o do_v we_o not_o sad_o find_v their_o reformation_n to_o be_v what_o a_o famous_a author_n of_o this_o time_n say_v in_o one_o of_o his_o piece_n that_o it_o be_v only_o lest_o to_o prince_n to_o mend_v the_o world_n who_o command_v find_v general_a obedience_n and_o example_n imitation_n for_o all_o other_o man_n they_o must_v take_v it_o as_o they_o find_v it_o and_o good_a man_n enter_v into_o commerce_n with_o it_o rather_o upon_o caution_n of_o not_o be_v spoil_v themselves_o than_o upon_o hope_n of_o mend_v other_o at_o least_o this_o opinion_n become_v man_n of_o my_o level_n among_o who_o i_o have_v observe_v all_o
