A50646	Some remarques upon a late popular piece of nonsence called Julian the apostate, &c. together, with a particular vindication of His Royal Highness the Duke of York, by some bold truths in answer to a great many impudent calumnies raised against him, by the foolish arguments, false reasonings and suppositions, imposed upon the publick from several scandalous and seditious pamphlets especially from one more notorious and generally virulent than the rest, sometime since published under the title of A Tory Plot, &c. / by a lover of truth, vertue, and justice.

say_v the_o ib._n page_n ib._n gentleman_n far_o if_o he_o do_v not_o persecute_v heretic_n with_o fire_n and_o sword_n he_o lie_v at_o the_o pope_n mercy_n to_o have_v his_o kingdom_n take_v away_o

to_o it_o in_o part_v with_o those_o good_a law_n which_o protect_v it_o and_o in_o agree_v to_o such_o as_o shall_v destroy_v it_o have_v thou_o keep_v to_o that_o foundation_n thou_o may_v indeed_o have_v raise_v some_o discourse_n of_o reason_n but_o that_o the_o possibility_n that_o a_o evil_n may_v happen_v be_v sufficient_a for_o any_o reasonable_a man_n to_o raise_v their_o fear_n of_o it_o upon_o or_o a_o lawful_a cause_n to_o use_v unnatural_a and_o unequal_a mean_n to_o prevent_v it_o be_v a_o opinion_n i_o will_v glad_o see_v thou_o put_v in_o practice_n it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o that_o thou_o may_v come_v to_o be_v a_o slave_n in_o the_o turkish_a galley_n one_o day_n and_o compel_v to_o live_v a_o wretched_a painful_a life_n for_o several_a miserable_a year_n together_o why_o do_v thou_o not_o generous_o hang_v thyself_o for_o a_o remedy_n against_o it_o for_o such_o a_o accident_n may_v happen_v to_o thou_o the_o thing_n be_v possible_a or_o if_o since_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o popish_a successor_n may_v persecute_v that_o it_o will_v be_v therefore_o just_a and_o reasonable_a to_o exclude_v he_o why_o thou_o vile_a blunderer_n it_o be_v possible_a too_o if_o that_o be_v all_o that_o a_o protestant_a successor_n may_v persecute_v as_o well_o as_o a_o popish_a one_o that_o a_o protestant_a successor_n may_v turn_v papist_n it_o be_v

all_o heir_n to_o the_o crown_n ought_v to_o be_v therefore_o exclude_v and_o no_o more_o king_n reign_v over_o we_o because_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v one_o way_n or_o other_o prove_v

a_o worse_o in_o its_o place_n be_v it_o therefore_o reasonable_a to_o pass_v a_o law_n that_o never_o any_o more_o parliament_n shall_v sit_v in_o england_n nay_o as_o thou_o have_v state_v it_o it_o real_o carry_v the_o more_o specious_a pretence_n of_o danger_n of_o the_o two_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o our_o religion_n in_o its_o lawful_a establishment_n can_v be_v peaceable_o alter_v
