prove_v first_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o jesuitical_a party_n which_o be_v destructive_a to_o government_n and_o second_o by_o this_o that_o the_o say_a party_n be_v most_o countenance_v in_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n but_o he_o never_o tell_v we_o what_o be_v these_o principle_n of_o the_o jesuitical_a party_n nor_o what_o this_o jesuitical_a party_n be_v he_o only_o name_v mariana_n and_o one_o or_o two_o other_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o a_o prince_n excommunicate_v lose_v his_o sovereignty_n for_o which_o boldness_n they_o suffer_v worthy_o both_o by_o their_o own_o body_n and_o other_o now_o how_o this_o discourse_n of_o our_o doctor_n agree_v with_o his_o purpose_n all_o this_o while_n pretend_v here_o i_o can_v see_v for_o it_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o

of_o a_o jesuitical_a party_n and_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n the_o society_n of_o jesuit_n a_o religious_a grave_n prudent_a family_n in_o the_o catholic_n church_n of_o god_n this_o i_o have_v

the_o doctor_n pretend_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o church_n and_o her_o religion_n though_o indeed_o he_o have_v never_o come_v near_o it_o yet_o but_o now_o he_o speak_v that_o which_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o sound_n of_o it_o a_o jesuitical_a party_n and_o a_o court_n what_o be_v these_o to_o our_o purpose_n now_o in_o hand_n there_o be_v party_n and_o as_o many_o design_n sign_n

it_o to_o justify_v such_o thing_n no_o man_n that_o defend_v a_o religion_n can_v conceive_v how_o they_o may_v concern_v he_o and_o he_o that_o oppose_v a_o religion_n if_o he_o be_v wise_a or_o
