show_v the_o reasonableness_n of_o the_o law_n against_o the_o papist_n but_o have_v not_o say_v one_o word_n in_o vindication_n of_o the_o law_n against_o the_o dissenter_n who_o have_v be_v as_o violent_a against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o ever_o the_o papist_n be_v and_o the_o law_n against_o they_o be_v equal_o as_o just_a to_o this_o i_o give_v this_o answer_n that_o i_o way_n always_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o dissenter_n have_v be_v make_v and_o carry_v on_o by_o the_o papist_n and_o i_o wish_v there_o

sherlock_n pen_n dr._n sherlock_n of_o the_o church_n england_n own_a the_o put_v they_o in_o severe_a execution_n the_o last_o seven_o or_o eight_o year_n to_o have_v proceed_v from_o popish_a

therefore_o the_o papist_n can_v transform_v themselves_o into_o all_o shape_n to_o promote_v difference_n among_o protestant_n in_o order_n to_o their_o ruin_n it_o can_v certain_o but_o be_v honest_a policy_n for_o the_o protestant_n in_o order_n to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o whole_a to_o unite_v against_o they_o as_o the_o common_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o as_o we_o who_o be_v lawyer_n never_o love_v to_o go_v to_o law_n especial_o with_o one_o another_o so_o the_o protestant_n in_o england_n under_o the_o denomination_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o dissenter_n be_v now_o pretty_a even_o as_o to_o severity_n on_o both_o hand_n let_v they_o no_o more_o quarrel_n but_o shake_v hand_n and_o be_v friend_n which_o will_v tend_v more_o to_o the_o preservation_n
