number_n they_o be_v intolerable_a to_o a_o devout_a soul_n which_o can_v suffer_v its_o self_n to_o be_v so_o far_o take_v off_o from_o the_o more_o inward_a and_o substantial_a part_n of_o

reason_n that_o at_o this_o day_n the_o french_a persecution_n against_o the_o reform_a religion_n and_o its_o professor_n rage_n with_o so_o much_o violence_n and_o fury_n through_o all_o the_o

can_v be_v purchase_v without_o the_o price_n of_o blood_n that_o he_o have_v no_o other_o principle_n of_o action_n than_o that_o of_o a_o boundless_a appetite_n of_o rule_n and_o greatness_n shall_v he_o be_v think_v to_o act_v upon_o a_o principle_n of_o duty_n and_o religion_n who_o make_v destructive_a and_o depopulate_a war_n without_o give_v a_o reason_n and_o violate_v the_o faith_n of_o

general_n or_o by_o the_o number_n discipline_n and_o valour_n of_o his_o army_n what_o therefore_o can_v be_v the_o true_a cause_n and_o motive_n why_o he_o that_o glory_v in_o the_o bless_a title_n of_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n shall_v yet_o notwithstanding_o persecute_v christianity_n itself_o what_o else_o can_v be_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o all_o this_o cruelty_n and_o seem_a

which_o be_v with_o so_o much_o diligence_n and_o zeal_n make_v use_v of_o by_o other_o for_o its_o extirpation_n for_o popery_n be_v either_o no_o christianity_n at_o all_o or_o it_o be_v
