and_o easy_o understand_v when_o man_n give_v their_o mind_n to_o it_o our_o author_n print_v a_o double_a character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresented_a and_o represent_v the_o first_o be_v a_o

which_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o very_a great_a piece_n of_o civility_n that_o he_o will_v not_o charge_v we_o now_o with_o down_o right_o lie_v but_o only_o with_o lie_v and_o calumniate_a and_o several_a other_o hard_a word_n into_o the_o bargain_n there_o need_v not_o many_o word_n about_o this_o matter_n for_o the_o short_a of_o the_o case_n be_v this_o in_o order_n to_o reconcile_v our_o

tell_v we_o what_o good_a thought_n papist_n have_v of_o themselves_o and_o their_o own_o religion_n now_o whoever_o doubt_v but_o that_o papist_n and_o protestant_n differ_v very_o much_o in_o their_o opinion_n of_o popery_n as_o they_o do_v also_o in_o their_o opinion_n of_o protestancy_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a pretence_n for_o his_o charge_n of_o misrepresent_v not_o that_o we_o charge_v they_o with_o believe_v or_o practise_v what_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v or_o practice_n but_o that_o we_o think_v worse_o of_o their_o faith_n and_o practice_n than_o he_o think_v they_o deserve_v and_o if_o this_o be_v all_o that_o he_o mean_v by_o misrepresent_v we_o ready_o own_o the_o charge_n that_o we_o have_v much_o worse_a thought_n of_o popery_n than_o he_o have_v that_o we_o believe_v those_o doctrine_n to_o be_v erroneous_a and_o those_o practice_n to_o be_v sinful_a which_o he_o think_v very_o well_o of_o and_o because_o i_o be_o resolve_v if_o possible_a to_o be_v as_o civil_a as_o he_o be_v in_o my_o concession_n and_o not_o to_o dispute_v about_o word_n i_o be_o content_v he_o shall_v call_v this_o misrepresent_v lie_v calumniate_a or_o what_o he_o please_v if_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o we_o condemn_v their_o faith_n or_o worship_n unjust_o only_o he_o must_v remember_v that_o this_o will_v engage_v he_o in_o a_o dispute_n which_o he_o seem_v resolve_v not_o to_o engage_v in_o for_o he_o must_v not_o think_v that_o upon_o his_o bare_a word_n we_o must_v be_v conclude_v guilty_a of_o that_o misrepresent_v which_o he_o call_v lie_v he_o shall_v have_v be_v very_o much_o afraid_a to_o accuse_v we_o of_o lie_v if_o he_o be_v resolve_v altogether_o to_o represent_v and_o not_o to_o dispute_v for_o certain_o no_o wise_a man_n will_v give_v his_o neighbour_n the_o lie_n unless_o he_o be_v well_o prepare_v to_o prove_v it_o against_o he_o misrepresent_v be_v a_o civil_a term_n because_o honest_a man_n may_v through_o mistake_n misrepresent_v but_o lie_v be_v the_o fault_n of_o knave_n which_o as_o it_o deserve_v great_a punishment_n so_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v charge_v upon_o man_n without_o great_a proof_n much_o less_o with_o none_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v take_v up_o a_o obstinate_a humour_n against_o dispute_v just_a before_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o charge_v we_o with_o lie_v but_o have_v remember_v what_o m._n de_fw-fr meaux_n say_v in_o his_o pastoral_a letter_n p._n 29._o those_o who_o bear_v false_a and_o scandalous_a witness_n against_o a_o innocent_a person_n be_v condemn_v to_o the_o same_o punishment_n which_o the_o crime_n of_o which_o they_o bear_v witness_n do_v deserve_v have_v it_o be_v find_v true_a but_o to_o clear_v myself_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v beside_o this_o that_o i_o be_o not_o conscious_a to_o myself_o of_o any_o misrepresent_v i_o must_v tell_v he_o once_o more_o that_o in_o a_o strict_a and_o proper_a sense_n to_o misrepresent_v relate_v only_o to_o matter_n of_o fact_n when_o we_o charge_v man_n with_o say_v and_o do_v what_o they_o never_o say_v or_o do_v as_o our_o accommodater_n confess_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v no_o misrepresenter_n and_o at_o last_o if_o i_o understand_v he_o he_o confess_v that_o we_o be_v not_o but_o then_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o to_o misrepresent_v in_o a_o large_a and_o less-prope_a sense_n signify_v also_o to_o put_v a_o false_a construction_n on_o thing_n as_o for_o instance_n to_o say_v that_o to_o worship_n saint_n and_o angel_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n as_o practise_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v to_o give_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o creature_n and_o that_o their_o image-worship_n be_v what_o god_n have_v forbid_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n that_o their_o deny_v the_o cup_n to_o the_o laity_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o their_o latin_a service_n be_v a_o very_a unreasonable_a

they_o do_v worship_n saint_n and_o image_n and_o deny_v the_o cup_n to_o the_o laity_n and_o keep_v the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n in_o a_o language_n unknown_a to_o the_o people_n yet_o if_o
