good_a hand_n that_o the_o present_a persecution_n do_v not_o advance_v popery_n in_o france_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a make_v it_o lose_v its_o credit_n for_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o persecuter_n and_o the_o complaint_n of_o the_o persecute_a have_v occasion_v many_o people_n to_o inquire_v into_o the_o reform_a religion_n that_o will_v not_o otherwise_o have_v do_v it_o that_o the_o seize_v of_o protestant_a book_n have_v occasion_v their_o fall_n into_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o convince_a of_o many_o man_n of_o sense_n that_o will_v otherwise_o never_o have_v see_v they_o that_o the_o people_n in_o many_o province_n long_o for_o a_o reformation_n that_o there_o be_v great_a city_n of_o many_o thousand_o inhabitant_n where_o one_o three_o of_o they_o be_v enlighten_v that_o within_o this_o 15_o year_n there_o have_v be_v more_o papist_n convert_v in_o that_o kingdom_n than_o ever_o and_o that_o whereas_o former_o many_o of_o their_o ecclesiastic_n who_o pretend_v to_o turn_v protestant_n be_v mere_a libertine_n it_o be_v otherwise_o now_o those_o of_o they_o that_o come_v over_o be_v general_o person_n of_o great_a part_n &_o piety_n and_o that_o if_o the_o

beg_v protestant_n sovereign_n to_o take_v into_o consideration_n he_o add_v that_o for_o 40_o year_n the_o papist_n in_o france_n have_v be_v divide_v among_o themselves_o into_o molinist_n and_o jansenist_n that_o there_o be_v a_o new_a sect_n spring_v up_o call_v quictist_n and_o that_o the_o socinian_o begin_v to_o grow_v very_o considerable_a among_o they_o &_o have_v for_o a_o long_a time_n have_v foot_v in_o many_o of_o their_o most_o famous_a convent_v that_o he_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o they_o general_o read_v episcopius_n whence_o they_o drink_v in_o pelagianism_n and_o after_o ward_n that_o which_o the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n call_v a_o moderate_a socinianism_n which_o be_v confirm_v by_o m._n d._n valone_n former_o a_o canon_n of_o the_o monastery_n of_o st._n genevive_n who_o have_v late_o renounce_v popery_n and_o join_v himself_o to_o the_o french_a church_n at_o nuremborg_n in_o germany_n he_o say_v in_o his_o book_n that_o in_o all_o the_o monastery_n of_o the_o canon_n regulars_n of_o st._n genevive_n there_o be_v a_o party_n who_o call_v themselves_o scripturist_n or_o the_o little_a church_n and_o either_o public_o espouse_v the_o socinian_n

choose_v other_o in_o their_o place_n m._n jurieu_o add_v that_o popery_n be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n in_o france_n than_o ever_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n either_o of_o the_o mad_a persecute_v clergy_n who_o ruin_n its_o credit_n by_o their_o cruelty_n or_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o laic_n of_o no_o religion_n who_o mock_v at_o all_o their_o mystery_n and_o that_o the_o number_n of_o such_o be_v so_o great_a at_o court_n and_o even_o among_o the_o dignifyed_a clergy_n that_o it_o be_v almost_o incredible_a then_o as_o to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n there_o he_o say_v there_o be_v still_o above_o a_o million_o of_o protestant_n in_o france_n that_o notwithstanding_o the_o last_o persecution_n be_v more_o cruel_a than_o the_o first_o the_o zeal_n and_o courage_n of_o the_o protestant_n be_v great_a and_o great_a that_o not_o only_o particular_a person_n but_o whole_a community_n have_v bold_o declare_v they_o will_v go_v no_o more_o to_o

person_n to_o promise_v to_o go_v to_o mass_n and_o that_o the_o protestant_n throughout_o the_o whole_a nation_n have_v show_v the_o like_a christian_a fortitude_n whereas_o in_o the_o first_o
