the_o peace_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o all_o who_o have_v imbibe_v these_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v account_v traitor_n and_o according_o proceed_v against_o though_o never_o

far_o as_o the_o popish_a religion_n have_v only_o a_o influence_n upon_o the_o future_a state_n of_o man_n it_o be_v never_o punish_v with_o death_n in_o england_n it_o be_v only_o upon_o the_o foot_n of_o those_o doctrine_n which_o instruct_v and_o countenance_v they_o to_o overthrow_v the_o state_n and_o government_n that_o romish_a priest_n be_v just_o make_v liable_a to_o suffer_v and_o therefore_o the_o priest_n who_o be_v late_o execute_v without_o be_v arraign_v for_o any_o thing_n save_v for_o their_o be_v so_o and_o their_o withdraw_a his_o majesty_n subject_n from_o the_o religion_n by_o law_n establish_v be_v as_o real_a traitor_n as_o those_o who_o be_v convince_v for_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o king_n life_n 2._o i_o will_v further_o infer_v from_o the_o forego_n doctrine_n that_o no_o security_n can_v be_v have_v of_o the_o loyalty_n of_o any_o person_n that_o be_v so_o possess_v for_o so_o long_o as_o he_o hold_v that_o any_o one_o have_v authority_n to_o depose_v the_o prince_n under_o who_o government_n he_o live_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o such_o a_o prince_n can_v be_v secure_v of_o the_o fidelity_n and_o allegiance_n of_o that_o subject_a and_o it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o whereas_o some_o of_o the_o irish_a papist_n since_o his_o majesty_n restauration_n have_v in_o a_o remonstrance_n prepare_v for_o the_o persuade_v the_o government_n of_o their_o loyalty_n only_o acknowledge_v though_o they_o have_v not_o swear_v it_o that_o king_n charles_n be_v their_o lawful_a king_n and_o the_o pope_n have_v no_o power_n to_o

apostolic_a see_n for_o as_o the_o pope_n nuncio_n at_o brussels_n by_o a_o letter_n date_v july_n 21._o 1662._o inform_v they_o how_o that_o their_o remonstrance_n be_v examine_v at_o rome_n by_o

that_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o permit_v or_o connive_v at_o it_o and_o therefore_o condemn_v it_o in_o this_o form_n that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v keep_v without_o breach_n of_o faith_n according_a to_o the_o decree_n of_o paul_n the_o five_o and_o that_o it_o deny_v the_o pope_n authority_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o of_o innocent_a the_o ten_o i_o do_v further_o declare_v that_o during_o my_o abode_n at_o rome_n i_o hear_v the_o jesuit_n section_n xvi_o often_o affirm_v and_o publish_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a to_o kill_v any_o prince_n or_o person_n excommunicate_v and_o declare_v a_o heretic_n but_o that_o it_o be_v meritorious_a to_o do_v so_o nor_o be_v this_o the_o opinion_n only_o of_o one_o or_o two_o or_o of_o such_o as_o may_v be_v esteem_v rash_a and_o giddy_a but_o it_o be_v the_o common_a doctrine_n of_o all_o the_o jesuit_n there_o and_o i_o do_v by_o all_o that_o may_v obtain_v credit_n with_o mankind_n testify_v that_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o assert_v by_o father_n anderton_n rector_n of_o the_o english_a college_n of_o the_o jesuit_n at_o rome_n father_n campion_n minister_n of_o the_o say_a

monto_fw-la portio_fw-la within_o fifteen_o mile_n of_o rome_n and_o from_o this_o i_o desire_v to_o make_v these_o three_o remark_n 1._o that_o every_o protestant_a prince_n be_v hereby_o expose_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o any_o one_o that_o under_o the_o encouragement_n of_o merit_a heaven_n will_v take_v the_o boldness_n to_o assassinate_n he_o for_o all_o such_o prince_n both_o by_o the_o

excommunicate_a nor_o be_v the_o jesuit_n singular_a in_o this_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o kill_v heretical_a prince_n for_o the_o pope_n himself_o by_o a_o decree_n in_o their_o
