A31186	The case of the suspended bishops considered in which the unreasonableness of their descent from the present government and the mischievous consequence that hath attended it, is demonstrated.		1691 (1691)	Wing C1168; ESTC R3534	16,373	38

safety_n of_o the_o government_n be_v this_o address_n of_o our_o grand-jury_n be_v iii_o our_o addresser_n have_v by_o their_o ordinary_a inadvertence_n and_o folly_n insinuate_v that_o the_o bishop_n need_v a_o pardon_n which_o true_o they_o do_v not_o for_o they_o humble_o pray_v the_o like_a favour_n viz._n a_o pardon_n may_v be_v extend_v to_o their_o pious_a bishop_n particular_o their_o diocesan_n whatever_o thanks_o they_o pretend_v to_o pay_v the_o king_n 2ure_v i_o be_o the_o suspend_v bishop_n owe_v none_o to_o those_o gentleman_n who_o desire_v a_o pardon_n for_o they_o when_o they_o themselves_o i_o hope_v be_v sufficient_o persuade_v they_o need_v none_o and_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v design_v to_o redicule_n these_o reverend_a father_n it_o can_v not_o be_v better_o do_v than_o beg_v a_o pardon_n for_o they_o that_o have_v appear_v in_o the_o last_o reign_n with_o so_o much_o zeal_n for_o the_o liberty_n and_o religion_n of_o their_o country_n and_o have_v suffer_v a_o confinement_n like_o that_o of_o the_o primitive_a martyr_n under_o dioclesian_n among_o murderer_n and_o traitor_n to_o use_v our_o author_n own_o word_n upon_o that_o score_n iv_o our_o addresser_n have_v stumble_v unhappy_o upon_o the_o word_n serve_v their_o majesty_n in_o their_o several_a province_n one_o will_v have_v think_v these_o zealous_a votary_n shall_v rather_o have_v use_v the_o word_n serve_v god_n almighty_a for_o the_o office_n of_o bishop_n do_v more_o immediate_o rafe_a to_o that_o than_o to_o the_o service_n of_o any_o earthly_a monarch_n it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a expression_n to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n but_o it_o be_v a_o new_a one_o to_o serve_v the_o king_n in_o it_o and_o i_o believe_v these_o reverend_a person_n will_v be_v of_o my_o opinion_n the_o word_n province_n come_v in_o as_o much_o from_o the_o purpose_n for_o by_o province_n when_o refer_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o england_n be_v mean_v two_o the_o district_v of_o canterbury_n and_o york_n and_o that_o of_o york_n be_v already_o happy_o fill_v so_o that_o the_o word_n province_n shall_v have_v be_v use_v only_o in_o the_o singular_a number_n to_o mean_v that_o of_o canterbury_n now_o vacant_a otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o good_a sense_n but_o to_o answer_v this_o address_n in_o one_o word_n there_o be_v no_o government_n in_o the_o world_n that_o ever_o allow_a man_n to_o enjoy_v the_o great_a office_n and_o dignity_n in_o it_o that_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o government_n it_o selof_o some_o one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a presumption_n nor_o affront_v do_v the_o government_n than_o for_o a_o handful_n of_o man_n to_o present_v a_o petition_n or_o address_v which_o be_v all_o one_o for_o continue_v these_o man_n in_o office_n which_o the_o law_n and_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o policy_n incapacitate_v they_o for_o there_o be_v no_o honest_a man_n but_o can_v hearty_o wish_v these_o reverend_a bishop_n may_v have_v their_o conscience_n satisfy_v in_o point_n of_o the_o oath_n but_o until_o they_o satisfy_v the_o law_n by_o take_v they_o we_o must_v regret_n their_o misfortune_n without_o wish_v they_o in_o office_n the_o law_n can_v allow_v they_o to_o enjoy_v there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o whenever_o they_o shall_v get_v over_o their_o scruple_n the_o king_n will_v show_v as_o much_o kindness_n to_o they_o as_o he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o show_v one_o of_o their_o coat_n of_o late_a upon_o his_o get_n over_o he_o we_o have_v some_o hope_n that_o the_o pungent_a reason_n which_o prevail_v with_o this_o reverend_a parson_n to_o change_v his_o sentiment_n as_o to_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o oath_n may_v at_o length_n prevail_v with_o the_o bishop_n too_o and_o it_o be_v from_o thence_o the_o world_n be_v in_o so_o much_o impatience_n to_o see_v that_o new_a convert_n reason_n in_o print_n i_o know_v not_o if_o i_o be_v oblige_v to_o follow_v this_o ramble_a apologist_n through_o all_o the_o impertinency_n in_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o pamphlet_n but_o i_o can_v enough_o admire_v the_o wonderful_a application_n he_o make_v of_o the_o fable_n about_o the_o camel_n get_v from_o jupiter_n crop_v ear_n instead_o of_o horn_n and_o all_o this_o our_o author_n be_v at_o pain_n to_o relate_v mere_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o a_o fine_a single_a epithet_n in_o call_v crop_v ear_n a_o sanctisied_a dress_n what_o a_o leanred_n man_n must_v this_o be_v that_o can_v go_v back_o the_o length_n of_o esop_n day_n only_o to_o have_v a_o nonsensical_a fill_v at_o the_o dissent_v minister_n who_o such_o learned_a author_n as_o himself_o have_v sometime_o for_o what_o reason_n no_o body_n know_v nickname_v crop_v ear_v parson_n but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o this_o gentleman_n whither_o if_o he_o himself_o have_v be_v to_o ask_v a_o boon_n of_o jupiter_n it_o may_v not_o have_v be_v as_o much_o his_o interest_n to_o desire_v he_o to_o crop_v his_o ear_n as_o to_o give_v he_o or_o allow_v he_o to_o keep_v horn_n the_o one_o being_n more_o visible_a and_o make_v perhaps_o a_o great_a noise_n in_o the_o neighbourhood_n than_o the_o other_o can_v possible_o do_v especial_o if_o hide_v by_o a_o periwig_n he_o spend_v almost_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o pamphlet_n in_o vindicate_v the_o grand-juries_n make_v their_o address_n to_o the_o king_n and_o not_o to_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o pain_n to_o consider_v whither_o they_o shall_v have_v address_v it_o to_o the_o king_n or_o to_o the_o parliament_n or_o to_o both_o for_o whatever_o way_n they_o be_v to_o do_v it_o they_o be_v to_o lose_v their_o pain_n and_o to_o meet_v with_o that_o just_a disdain_n such_o a_o folly_n deserve_v the_o poor_a man_n after_o this_o fall_v into_o one_o of_o the_o sad_a fit_n of_o fury_n against_o the_o presbyterian_o that_o can_v be_v and_o no_o body_n know_v what_o have_v give_v occasion_n to_o this_o paroxysm_n of_o he_o be_v it_o because_o they_o condemn_v the_o gloucester_n address_v at_o that_o rate_n he_o may_v have_v with_o the_o same_o reason_n belsh_v out_o his_o venom_n at_o the_o better_a and_o learnede_a part_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o have_v unanimous_o condemn_v this_o address_n as_o much_o as_o the_o presbyterian_o as_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o the_o reflection_n such_o a_o folly_n bring_v upon_o the_o church_n but_o how_o he_o come_v to_o spend_v so_o much_o time_n and_o so_o many_o invective_n against_o doctor_n du_fw-fr moulin_n for_o write_v against_o some_o mistake_v in_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o know_v not_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o think_v both_o the_o man_n and_o his_o book_n have_v be_v forget_v but_o it_o be_v probable_a our_o author_n be_v master_n of_o so_o few_o book_n that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n he_o take_v pain_n to_o cite_v so_o many_o passage_n out_o of_o one_o that_o have_v casual_o fall_v into_o his_o hand_n there_o be_v very_o few_o i_o know_v that_o approve_v du_fw-fr moulin_n heat_n against_o the_o discipline_n of_o our_o church_n but_o there_o be_v other_o of_o the_o other_o side_n nothing_o behind_o he_o in_o invective_n against_o the_o dissenter_n from_o the_o church_n we_o have_v have_v both_o before_o and_o of_o late_a several_a who_o have_v go_v to_o that_o length_n of_o animosity_n against_o the_o dissenter_n as_o for_o their_o mere_a sake_n to_o vnchurch_n all_o the_o protestant_a church_n in_o europe_n because_o of_o the_o want_n of_o the_o order_n of_o bishop_n among_o they_o and_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a this_o uncharitableness_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n against_o the_o protestant_n abroad_o and_o particular_o of_o the_o french_a church_n whereof_o doctor_n du_fw-fr moulin_n be_v a_o member_n may_v animate_v the_o angry_a old_a man_n as_o our_o author_n call_v he_o a_o little_a beyond_o his_o design_n and_o
