of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o brother_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o malicious_a invention_n of_o those_o that_o be_v either_o in_o fact_n or_o in_o consent_n the_o murderer_n of_o their_o father_n and_o consequent_o irreconcilable_a and_o implacable_a enemy_n unto_o his_o child_n for_o say_v i_o to_o my_o certain_a knowledge_n who_o be_v almost_o always_o a_o eye-witness_n of_o their_o action_n the_o king_n and_o both_o his_o brother_n do_v not_o only_o by_o their_o profession_n but_o by_o their_o practice_n declare_v and_o testify_v themselves_o to_o be_v true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o its_o enemy_n by_o come_v daily_o to_o our_o prayer_n and_o weekly_o to_o our_o sermon_n and_o frequent_o to_o our_o communnion_n which_o i_o do_v not_o now_o repeat_v by_o way_n of_o boast_v of_o what_o i_o do_v for_o though_o it_o be_v all_o i_o can_v do_v yet_o perhaps_o it_o be_v less_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o do_v but_o i_o repeat_v this_o and_o what_o i_o say_v before_o of_o the_o late_a king_n to_o let_v your_o highness_n see_v how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o any_o of_o the_o royal_a family_n to_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v traduce_v to_o the_o people_n by_o any_o such_o report_n and_o discourse_n as_o now_o be_v make_v of_o your_o highness_n which_o certain_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v or_o neglect_v but_o careful_o and_o serious_o to_o be_v inquire_v into_o and_o speedy_o to_o be_v suppress_v by_o a_o severe_a and_o exemplary_a punishment_n of_o the_o author_n and_o abettor_n of_o they_o it_o be_v very_o well_o and_o wise_o do_v therefore_o of_o our_o present_a sovereign_n remember_v his_o father_n fate_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o to_o pass_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n present_o after_o his_o come_n home_o whereby_o the_o say_n that_o the_o king_n be_v a_o papist_n or_o that_o he_o endeavour_v to_o introduce_v popery_n be_v make_v punishable_a in_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o this_o act_n wherein_o this_o clause_n be_v be_v in_o the_o title_n of_o it_o call_v a_o act_n for_o the_o safety_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o king_n person_n and_o government_n thereby_o imply_v that_o the_o raise_n and_o spread_v of_o such_o report_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o dangerous_a and_o consequent_o those_o that_o raise_v or_o spread_v they_o very_o criminal_a as_o be_v indeed_o the_o great_a enemy_n both_o of_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n which_o though_o it_o be_v most_o true_a when_o such_o report_n reflect_v immediate_o on_o the_o king_n himself_o yet_o be_v it_o in_o proportion_n true_a likewise_o when_o any_o of_o the_o royal_a family_n be_v concern_v in_o it_o so_o that_o they_o be_v the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n enemy_n as_o well_o as_o you_o and_o your_o husband_n and_o your_o child_n that_o be_v the_o author_n and_o be_v the_o abettor_n of_o what_o be_v so_o general_o speak_v and_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o general_o believe_v of_o your_o royal_a highness_n in_o this_o particular_a to_o the_o divulge_v and_o the_o belief_n whereof_o i_o do_v very_o think_v that_o none_o have_v be_v more_o active_a nor_o so_o much_o instrumental_a as_o some_o of_o the_o popish_a party_n and_o among_o they_o especial_o the_o popish_a priest_n themselves_o and_o that_o partly_o out_o of_o vanity_n and_o partly_o out_o of_o cunning._n for_o as_o some_o of_o our_o secular_a gallant_n do_v out_o of_o vanity_n only_o sometime_o boast_v of_o favour_n they_o have_v receive_v from_o such_o or_o such_o woman_n of_o know_a honour_n and_o virtue_n though_o they_o never_o do_v nor_o ever_o dare_v speak_v so_o much_o as_o one_o word_n to_o any_o of_o they_o to_o any_o such_o purpose_n so_o do_v many_o of_o the_o clergy_n cavalier_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o vain_o vaunt_v how_o many_o and_o how_o great_a proselyte_n they_o have_v make_v and_o of_o how_o many_o considerable_a person_n of_o both_o sex_n they_o have_v gain_v from_o our_o church_n unto_o they_o which_o though_o it_o be_v too_o true_a in_o too_o many_o yet_o as_o to_o some_o who_o they_o most_o boast_v of_o and_o will_v fain_o have_v it_o believe_v they_o have_v prevail_v with_o as_o particular_o and_o especial_o with_o your_o royal_a highness_n i_o be_o confident_a it_o be_v but_o a_o vain_a brag_n and_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o be_v do_v out_o of_o vanity_n only_o but_o out_o of_o artifice_n and_o cunning_a also_o because_o they_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o hope_n that_o if_o they_o can_v make_v it_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o they_o have_v gain_v but_o one_o such_o proselyte_n as_o your_o highness_n it_o will_v be_v the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n they_o can_v make_v use_n of_o to_o persuade_v other_o and_o consequent_o the_o most_o compendious_a way_n they_o can_v take_v in_o order_n to_o their_o main_n end_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o be_v another_o notable_a effect_n of_o their_o fineness_n and_o subtlety_n that_o when_o they_o themselves_o have_v be_v the_o author_n and_o divulger_n of_o such_o a_o malicious_a and_o scandalous_a report_n and_o do_v you_o all_o the_o mischief_n they_o can_v by_o it_o than_o if_o they_o find_v those_o that_o be_v most_o concern_v in_o it_o to_o be_v alarm_v with_o it_o and_o to_o resent_v it_o with_o that_o indignation_n as_o so_o bold_a and_o so_o injurious_a a_o practice_n ought_v indeed_o to_o be_v resent_v withal_o then_o i_o say_v the_o next_o thing_n they_o do_v be_v by_o such_o instrument_n as_o they_o never_o want_v about_o great_a person_n upon_o such_o occasion_n to_o persuade_v the_o party_n concern_v in_o such_o report_n that_o all_o the_o noise_n which_o they_o hear_v and_o which_o seem_v to_o

give_v too_o soon_o and_o too_o loud_a a_o warn_v of_o a_o danger_n which_o they_o think_v to_o be_v great_a and_o near_o than_o it_o be_v rather_o increase_v than_o lessen_v the_o noise_n which_o be_v make_v before_o and_o which_o perhaps_o will_v have_v cease_v of_o itself_o if_o too_o much_o notice_n have_v not_o be_v take_v as_o there_o be_v of_o it_o and_o such_o a_o artifice_n as_o this_o it_o be_v to_o inform_v your_o highness_n as_o some_o body_n do_v that_o this_o clamour_n against_o your_o highness_n from_o whosoever_o it_o have_v its_o first_o rise_n it_o have_v its_o growth_n from_o some_o of_o our_o clergy_n and_o particular_o from_o i_o for_o one_o as_o if_o i_o have_v give_v some_o body_n or_o other_o some_o cause_n to_o believe_v it_o and_o consequent_o make_v it_o more_o to_o be_v suspect_v and_o speak_v of_o by_o other_o than_o it_o be_v before_o which_o as_o i_o then_o say_v i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o know_v i_o can_v think_v i_o though_o i_o be_v never_o so_o wicked_a to_o be_v so_o very_a a_o fool_n as_o to_o believe_v of_o i_o for_o what_o end_n can_v i_o have_v especial_o have_v have_v such_o and_o so_o long_a a_o relation_n to_o your_o highness_n as_o i_o have_v what_o end_n i_o say_v can_v i_o have_v in_o make_v your_o highness_n believe_v or_o suspect_v to_o be_v a_o papist_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o make_v myself_o to_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v a_o papist_n also_o and_o consequent_o to_o be_v a_o old_a arrant_a hypocrite_n see_v i_o always_o do_v and_o do_v and_o ever_o shall_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n profess_v the_o contrary_a though_o i_o be_v to_o die_v at_o a_o stake_n for_o so_o do_v no_o no_o madam_n it_o be_v neither_o i_o nor_o as_o i_o very_o believe_v any_o of_o our_o priest_n or_o bishop_n but_o as_o i_o then_o

that_o your_o highness_n be_v already_o of_o their_o church_n and_o will_v very_o short_o declare_v yourself_o to_o be_v so_o whereunto_o my_o reply_n be_v that_o although_o i_o do_v believe_v his_o
