inquire_v how_o this_o single_a act_n this_o only_a of_o impose_v the_o new_a oath_n shall_v prove_v such_o a_o millstone_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o ireland_n as_o to_o carry_v with_o it_o all_o the_o right_n and_o freedom_n of_o that_o country_n into_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n shall_v we_o say_v that_o this_o be_v only_o by_o chance_n some_o man_n refer_v all_o to_o that_o but_o i_o think_v there_o be_v a_o much_o more_o serious_a and_o substantial_a reflection_n which_o this_o will_v afford_v we_o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o quite_o out_o of_o fashion_n to_o use_v that_o word_n a_o christian_a consideration_n by_o this_o act_n and_o by_o this_o only_a one_o bishop_n and_o several_a clergyman_n of_o ireland_n be_v deprive_v now_o if_o it_o be_v sacrilege_n to_o rob_v god_n church_n how_o much_o more_o his_o priest_n there_o be_v nothing_o good_a or_o holy_a but_o god_n but_o there_o be_v a_o relative_n holiness_n as_o thing_n belong_v more_o peculiarly_a to_o he_o thus_o israel_n be_v call_v a_o holy_a though_o otherwise_o a_o very_a wicked_a nation_n that_o be_v in_o comparison_n of_o other_o nation_n who_o be_v not_o in_o federal_n league_n or_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o jerusalem_n be_v call_v the_o holy_a city_n more_o than_o all_o the_o other_o city_n of_o israel_n the_o temple_n be_v more_o holy_a than_o jerusalem_n and_o that_o part_v of_o it_o within_o the_o veil_n more_o holy_a than_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o temple_n therefore_o call_v the_o holy_a of_o holies_n not_o that_o stone_n or_o lime_n be_v in_o themselves_o holy_a or_o one_o holy_a than_o another_o but_o only_o as_o they_o relate_v more_o near_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n thus_o israel_n be_v more_o holy_a than_o other_o nation_n the_o levite_n more_o holy_a than_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n the_o priest_n more_o holy_a than_o the_o levite_n and_o the_o h._n priest_n more_o holy_a than_o the_o other_o priest_n not_o that_o the_o h._n priest_n must_v necessary_o be_v a_o more_o holy_a man_n in_o himself_o than_o all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o other_o priest_n that_o the_o priest_n must_v be_v more_o holy_a than_o the_o levite_n or_o every_o levite_n than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n but_o this_o be_v in_o regard_n to_o their_o office_n and_o more_o near_a designation_n so_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n now_o sacrilege_n be_v not_o the_o rob_v of_o god_n in_o his_o person_n for_o that_o be_v impossible_a but_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o relate_v unto_o he_o and_o the_o sacrilege_n rise_v high_a as_o it_o come_v near_o to_o what_o be_v near_o unto_o he_o therefore_o as_o the_o holiness_n of_o inanimate_a thing_n as_o of_o temple_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o the_o holiness_n though_o relative_n of_o person_n so_o the_o sacrilege_n be_v great_a of_o rob_v holy_a person_n than_o holy_a thing_n it_o have_v be_v great_a sacrilege_n to_o have_v rob_v aaron_n of_o his_o holy_a vesement_n than_o the_o temple_n of_o its_o utensil_n and_o great_a sacrilege_n as_o of_o korah_n &c_n &c_n to_o have_v rob_v aaron_n of_o his_o power_n and_o authority_n than_o of_o his_o vestment_n now_o this_o act_n of_o deprivation_n rob_v the_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n of_o their_o spiritval_n power_n and_o authority_n and_o
therefore_o be_v a_o great_a sacrilege_n than_o the_o rob_v of_o church_n or_o altar_n and_o be_v it_o not_o worth_a our_o serious_a reflection_n that_o this_o be_v the_o act_n which_o deprive_v ireland_n of_o all_o their_o civi●_n right_n as_o a_o people_n past_o all_o help_n of_o those_o excuse_n by_o which_o they_o avoid_v the_o precedent_n of_o other_o english_a act_n that_o seem_v to_o bear_v hard_o upon_o they_o and_o by_o this_o if_o ireland_n will_v stick_v to_o that_o sacrilege_n which_o have_v be_v impose_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n they_o must_v accept_v of_o slavery_n into_o the_o bargain_n but_o if_o they_o have_v rather_o be_v slave_n to_o their_o neighbour_n than_o servant_n to_o god_n if_o they_o will_v choose_v to_o forfeit_n all_o right_a and_o title_n to_o their_o estate_n life_n and_o liberty_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o their_o religion_n and_o to_o hold_v they_o precarious_o at_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o those_o who_o have_v a_o different_a interest_n from_o they_o and_o be_v already_o grow_v jealous_a of_o they_o and_o declare_v they_o must_v find_v way_n to_o humble_v they_o and_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o enjoy_v the_o common_a benefit_n and_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o liberty_n the_o right_a of_o mankind_n which_o be_v to_o make_v the_o best_a use_n of_o their_o labour_n if_o they_o will_v choose_v this_o rather_o than_o do_v justice_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v to_o god_n by_o restore_a what_o they_o have_v rob_v from_o he_o or_o so_o much_o as_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o therein_o this_o liberty_n they_o have_v still_o leave_v to_o they_o and_o they_o may_v go_v on_o and_o try_v whether_o they_o or_o god_n be_v the_o strong_a if_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v no_o

insensible_a as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o conscience_n yet_o if_o they_o will_v not_o rivet_v their_o slavery_n by_o their_o own_o consent_n they_o must_v disow_v that_o english_a act_n appoint_v the_o new_a oath_n which_o as_o say_v before_o they_o can_v do_v without_o restore_a those_o who_o suffer_v forfeiture_n by_o it_o if_o they_o will_v not_o do_v this_o then_o let_v they_o remember_v at_o least_o other_o will_n that_o their_o slavery_n commence_v with_o their_o sacrilege_n and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v think_v superstition_n hereafter_o to_o observe_v that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v so_o order_v it_o as_o that_o this_o very_a act_n which_o involve_v they_o in_o sacrilege_n prove_v the_o only_a act_n which_o unanswerable_o destroy_v their_o freedom_n and_o civil_a
