the_o stop_v the_o exchequer_n the_o declaration_n for_o toleration_n and_o the_o writ_n for_o the_o member_n of_o the_o house_n be_v matter_n of_o hard_a digestion_n yet_o no_o soon_o do_v the_o

king_n be_v engage_v they_o give_v he_o 1200000_o pound_n for_o carry_v it_o on_o and_o they_o think_v they_o have_v no_o ill_a pennyworth_n for_o their_o money_n when_o they_o carry_v home_o with_o they_o to_o their_o country_n this_o new_a security_n for_o their_o religion_n which_o we_o be_v desire_v now_o to_o throw_v up_o and_o which_o the_o reverend_a judge_n have_v already_o throw_v out_o as_o a_o law_n out_o of_o date_n if_o this_o have_v carry_v in_o it_o any_o new_a piece_n of_o severity_n their_o complaint_n may_v be_v just_a but_o they_o be_v extreme_a tender_a if_o they_o be_v so_o uneasy_a under_o a_o law_n that_o only_o give_v they_o leisure_n and_o opportunity_n to_o live_v at_o home_n and_o the_o last_o test_n which_o be_v intend_v only_o for_o shut_v they_o out_o from_o a_o share_n in_o the_o legislative_a body_n appear_v to_o be_v so_o just_a that_o one_o be_v rather_o amaze_v to_o find_v that_o it_o be_v so_o long_a a_o do_v than_o that_o it_o be_v do_v at_o

do_v it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v not_o such_o cause_n give_v for_o jealousy_n to_o work_v upon_o but_o what_o have_v appear_v since_o that_o time_n and_o what_o have_v be_v print_v in_o his_o

our_o parliament_n in_o which_o the_o king_n religion_n be_v accuse_v of_o idolatry_n but_o if_o this_o reason_n be_v good_a in_o this_o particular_a it_o will_v be_v full_a as_o good_a against_o several_a of_o the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n and_o many_o of_o the_o homily_n if_o the_o church_n and_o religion_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v so_o form_v by_o law_n that_o the_o king_n religion_n be_v declare_v over_o and_o over_o again_o to_o be_v idolatrous_a what_o help_n be_v there_o for_o it_o it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o it_o be_v when_o his_o majesty_n be_v crown_v and_o swear_v to_o maintain_v our_o law_n i_o hope_v none_o will_v be_v want_v in_o all_o possible_a respect_n to_o his_o sacred_a person_n and_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v infinite_o sorry_a to_o find_v he_o engage_v in_o a_o religion_n which_o we_o must_v believe_v idolatrous_a so_o we_o be_v far_o from_o the_o ill_a manner_n of_o reflect_v on_o his_o person_n or_o call_v he_o a_o idolater_n for_o as_o every_o
