subversion_n of_o the_o government_n bum._n now_o you_o have_v arm_v i_o thus_o far_o pray_o help_v i_o on_o one_o step_v far_o for_o i_o be_v hard_o put_v to_o it_o not_o long_v since_o about_o the_o business_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n what_o be_v that_o i_o pray_o that_o you_o call_v the_o protestant_a religion_n citt._n you_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o by_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v protestant_n mean_v the_o religion_n of_o the_o dissenter_n in_o england_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o the_o first_o protestant_n in_o germany_n 1529._o from_o who_o we_o denominate_v ourselves_o be_v dissenter_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o so_o call_v from_o the_o famous_a protestation_n they_o enter_v against_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o assembly_n at_o spire_n against_o anabaptist_n bum._n so_o that_o i_o perceive_v we_o set_v up_o the_o protestant_a religion_n we_o do_v not_o destroy_v it_o but_o they_o press_v it_o then_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o protestant_a church_n and_o that_o the_o jesuit_n have_v only_o design_v the_o destruction_n of_o it_o where_o as_o we_o do_v actual_o execute_v it_o citt._n your_o answer_n must_v be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n though_o it_o be_v a_o little_a protestantish_a it_o be_v not_o yet_o direct_o protestant_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v not_o altogether_o the_o whore_n of_o babylon_n though_o a_o good_a deal_n whorish_a and_o therefore_o the_o reply_n to_o that_o must_v be_v that_o we_o do_v not_o destroy_v but_o only_o reform_v it_o bum._n why_o i_o have_v answer_v people_n out_o of_o my_o own_o mother-wit_n that_o we_o do_v but_o reform_v it_o and_o they_o tell_v i_o again_o the_o cut_v of_o it_o off_o root_n and_o branch_n be_v a_o very_a extraordinary_a way_n of_o reform_v citt._n the_o answer_n to_o that_o be_v obvious_a that_o the_o cut_v off_o branch_n root_n and_o branch_n be_v only_o a_o through_o or_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o reform_v but_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n it_o be_v with_o we_o and_o the_o jesuit_n as_o it_o be_v with_o aaron_n and_o the_o magician_n we_o do_v both_o of_o we_o make_v frog_n but_o we_o alone_o
