opinion_n of_o protestant_n concern_v popish_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n and_o those_o ill_a consequent_n which_o be_v charge_v and_o just_o charge_v upon_o they_o be_v put_v into_o the_o

we_o charge_v they_o with_o nothing_o but_o what_o they_o express_o profess_v to_o believe_v and_o what_o they_o practise_v and_o we_o tell_v they_o what_o we_o think_v of_o such_o doctrine_n and_o

not_o fair_a to_o put_v such_o thing_n into_o a_o protestant_a character_n of_o a_o papist_n misrepresent_v as_o to_o give_v a_o instance_n of_o a_o like_a nature_n there_o be_v some_o dissent_v

misrepresentation_n of_o such_o man_n to_o say_v they_o be_v those_o who_o believe_v it_o lawful_a to_o rebel_v for_o no_o man_n believe_v rebellion_n no_o more_o than_o idolatry_n to_o to_o be_v

which_o show_v how_o unjust_a it_o be_v to_o put_v the_o interpretation_n and_o consequence_n of_o man_n opinion_n and_o practice_n which_o they_o themselves_o disow_v into_o their_o character_n and_o

3._o it_o be_v still_o so_o much_o the_o worse_o when_o the_o interpretation_n and_o consequence_n which_o be_v charge_v upon_o man_n practice_n and_o opinion_n be_v set_v in_o the_o front_n of_o
