a_o letter_n to_o the_o author_n of_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o case_n of_o the_o allegiance_n due_a to_o sovereign_a prince_n state_v and_o resolve_v by_o dr._n william_n sherlock_n by_o a_o gentleman_n of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n gentleman_n i_o have_v with_o a_o little_a commotion_n of_o mind_n as_o who_o be_v able_a to_o exercise_v a_o stoical_a apathy_n in_o great_a provocation_n observe_v all_o your_o motion_n for_o the_o two_o last_o year_n and_o although_o i_o do_v not_o expect_v any_o great_a degree_n of_o temper_n from_o such_o man_n when_o they_o have_v get_v the_o reins_o loose_a and_o the_o bit_n between_o the_o tooth_n yet_o i_o think_v at_o last_o the_o mere_a shame_n of_o say_v the_o same_o thing_n so_o often_o over_o and_o over_o again_o will_v have_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o your_o career_n but_o alas_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v some_o man_n who_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n restrain_v from_o vent_v their_o belove_a principle_n think_v they_o can_v never_o take_v liberty_n enough_o when_o they_o once_o have_v it_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o those_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o that_o religion_n which_o be_v by_o law_n establish_v have_v ever_o be_v think_v so_o advantageous_a to_o government_n in_o general_n and_o to_o our_o monarchy_n in_o particular_a that_o the_o late_a king_n when_o he_o disclaim_v her_o communion_n give_v that_o for_o his_o reason_n why_o he_o will_v protect_v and_o defend_v she_o and_o her_o child_n and_o it_o have_v be_v well_o for_o he_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v put_v upon_o other_o method_n by_o design_v men._n their_o present_a majesty_n have_v however_o make_v the_o same_o profession_n and_o that_o not_o only_o verbal_o but_o in_o their_o coronation_n oath_n have_v give_v we_o the_o most_o sacred_a assurance_n that_o they_o will_v preserve_v that_o protestant_a religion_n which_o be_v by_o law_n establish_v other_o be_v indeed_o by_o law_n tolerate_v but_o still_o that_o be_v the_o religion_n that_o be_v swear_v to_o be_v preserve_v protect_v and_o defend_v whilst_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v only_o allow_v a_o bare_a indemnity_n why_o then_o must_v every_o one_o that_o have_v soon_o or_o late_a submit_v to_o their_o majesty_n and_o have_v hearty_o and_o sincere_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n to_o they_o be_v pelt_v by_o a_o parcel_n of_o pamphleteer_n only_o for_o assign_v such_o reason_n for_o it_o as_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o the_o like_a circumstance_n there_o have_v scarce_o appear_v one_o piece_n that_o be_v write_v by_o those_o of_o our_o communion_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o non-swearer_n but_o there_o have_v present_o be_v publish_v a_o swarm_n of_o virulent_a and_o malicious_a pamphlet_n against_o it_o write_v no_o doubt_n by_o their_o majesty_n special_a friend_n for_o they_o all_o pretend_v to_o be_v zealous_a williamite_n great_a promoter_n of_o the_o late_a revolution_n the_o first_o that_o be_v in_o arm_n against_o the_o late_a king_n ay_o and_o it_o may_v be_v if_o the_o truth_n be_v examine_v and_o they_o will_v but_o vouchsafe_v to_o set_v their_o name_n to_o their_o book_n we_o may_v find_v they_o as_o busy_o plot_v against_o charles_n the_o first_o and_o charles_n the_o second_o as_o james_z the_o second_o and_o against_o he_o too_o in_o the_o monmouth_n invasion_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o late_a revolution_n well_o but_o the_o late_a good_a service_n have_v atone_v for_o all_o their_o former_a crime_n and_o they_o have_v not_o only_o merit_v a_o pardon_n for_o all_o that_o be_v past_a but_o a_o reward_n too_o and_o much_o good_a may_v it_o do_v they_o i_o neither_o envy_v their_o good_a fortune_n nor_o will_v purchase_v the_o best_a of_o they_o at_o the_o same_o price_n and_o with_o the_o same_o hazard_n so_o that_o they_o need_v never_o fear_v i_o will_v be_v their_o rival_n but_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o all_o this_o be_v the_o late_a revolution_n here_o in_o england_n of_o that_o nature_n that_o those_o that_o have_v comply_v with_o it_o may_v justify_v their_o so_o do_v upon_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o be_v it_o not_o if_o we_o can_v justify_v it_o upon_o our_o own_o principle_n why_o be_v they_o offend_v if_o we_o can_v what_o harm_n have_v we_o do_v they_o be_v any_o man_n discontent_v that_o the_o number_n of_o his_o friend_n and_o assistant_n be_v increase_v by_o man_n of_o various_a interest_n and_o principle_n who_o have_v the_o same_o great_a design_n to_o carry_v on_o that_o he_o have_v be_v not_o all_o the_o prince_n in_o christendom_n at_o this_o time_n unite_v against_o france_n notwithstanding_o their_o different_a principle_n and_o interest_n in_o other_o thing_n but_o then_o if_o it_o be_v not_o justifiable_a upon_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o we_o must_v renounce_v our_o principle_n before_o we_o can_v become_v the_o loyal_a subject_n of_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n which_o the_o non-swearer_n pretend_v and_o these_o williamite_n back_n they_o in_o then_o be_v the_o late_a revolution_n condemn_v not_o only_o by_o the_o non-swearer_n but_o by_o the_o williamite_n also_o for_o if_o it_o be_v innocent_a it_o may_v be_v justify_v by_o our_o principle_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o their_o principle_n will_v no_o more_o justify_v it_o than_o we_o will_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o majesty_n interest_n to_o have_v the_o world_n think_v they_o have_v do_v that_o which_o can_v be_v justify_v upon_o the_o principle_n of_o that_o church_n which_o they_o have_v swear_v to_o defend_v and_o of_o which_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v and_o which_o be_v more_o of_o that_o church_n which_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o of_o which_o the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n swordman_n and_o crown-man_n of_o the_o nation_n profess_v themselves_o member_n all_o which_o be_v by_o these_o man_n declare_v rebel_n and_o traitor_n by_o their_o own_o principle_n if_o what_o they_o say_v be_v true_a here_o be_v a_o mystery_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o all_o this_o and_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a to_o set_v it_o in_o so_o good_a a_o light_n that_o no_o man_n will_v wonder_v at_o it_o though_o perhaps_o it_o will_v not_o be_v my_o good_a fortune_n to_o do_v it_o but_o however_o i_o will_v try_v if_o i_o can_v and_o if_o i_o offend_v they_o by_o it_o the_o care_n be_v beforehand_o take_v and_o i_o be_o resolve_v not_o to_o be_v overmuch_o concern_v though_o i_o expect_v a_o swarm_n of_o venomous_a infect_v about_o my_o ear_n for_o it_o when_o this_o revolution_n be_v begin_v in_o holland_n it_o be_v the_o great_a care_n of_o these_o gentleman_n to_o win_v over_o the_o church_n of_o england_n man_n by_o all_o the_o art_n of_o wheadle_n and_o courtship_n that_o be_v possible_a and_o the_o advice_n than_o be_v instead_o of_o remember_v or_o upbraid_v they_o with_o the_o opposition_n and_o rancour_n which_o they_o express_v against_o our_o person_n principle_n and_o way_n let_v there_o be_v no_o language_n hear_v from_o we_o but_o what_o may_v declare_v the_o joy_n we_o have_v in_o ourselves_o for_o their_o conversion_n and_o the_o entire_a trust_n and_o confidence_n we_o put_v in_o they_o and_o a_o little_a after_o it_o be_v the_o height_n of_o wickedness_n as_o well_o as_o the_o most_o prodigious_a folly_n to_o imagine_v that_o the_o conformist_n have_v abandon_v all_o fidelity_n to_o god_n and_o cast_v off_o all_o care_n of_o themselves_o and_o their_o country_n upon_o a_o
