very_a same_o argument_n and_o urge_v the_o same_o reason_n which_o papist_n do_v both_o against_o the_o episcopal_a and_o presbyterial_a congregation_n who_o be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o not_o to_o know_v how_o often_o and_o how_o vehement_o popish_a author_n have_v ever_o and_o yet_o do_v urge_v all_o sort_n of_o separatist_n from_o they_o to_o show_v their_o commission_n and_o by_o what_o

inasmuch_o as_o the_o quaker_n be_v a_o people_n as_o to_o matter_n of_o conversation_n most_o estrange_v from_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o world_n and_o as_o to_o matter_n of_o interest_n i_o think_v so_o unprovided_a of_o all_o humane_a help_n that_o they_o be_v as_o little_a able_a to_o vindicate_v themselves_o as_o the_o papist_n and_o consequent_o must_v be_v content_a to_o be_v both_o abuse_v

sound_a judgement_n this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n that_o it_o have_v betray_v he_o to_o censure_v his_o passionate_a expression_n so_o i_o may_v call_v it_o rather_o than_o a_o proposition_n viz._n that_o all_o who_o refuse_v the_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n be_v papist_n will_v prove_v himself_o if_o he_o right_o consider_v it_o as_o much_o a_o papist_n as_o it_o will_v prove_v george_n whitehead_n one_o yea_o and_o more_o too_o inasmuch_o as_o george_n whitehead_n refuse_v it_o only_o because_o it_o be_v a_o oath_n and_o not_o as_o it_o contain_v this_o or_o that_o matter_n but_o
