against_o he_o read_v then_o the_o death_n even_o of_o those_o few_o desperate_a man_n and_o you_o will_v find_v they_o hearty_o repent_v at_o least_o most_o of_o they_o read_v all_o their_o history_n the_o foul_a that_o ever_o that_o party_n be_v concern_v in_o and_o i_o be_o confident_a though_o you_o will_v continue_v your_o just_a indignation_n against_o those_o who_o be_v traitor_n yet_o your_o anger_n will_v be_v allay_v towards_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v innocent_a at_o least_o all_o revenge_n will_v be_v satisfy_v when_o you_o have_v consider_v how_o long_o and_o how_o universal_o that_o one_o crime_n of_o a_o few_o desperate_a man_n have_v be_v punish_v mistake_v i_o not_o i_o will_v not_o have_v so_o great_a a_o crime_n forget_v but_o i_o think_v it_o belong_v to_o christian_a charity_n that_o the_o great_a shall_v at_o last_o be_v forgive_v can_v there_o be_v imagine_v a_o more_o detestable_a treason_n then_o that_o against_o our_o late_a gracious_a sovereign_n in_o which_o though_o justice_n take_v care_n to_o conserve_v the_o memory_n yet_o mercy_n already_o have_v pardon_v the_o offender_n and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o remember_v some_o passage_n among_o we_o that_o keep_v alive_a our_o animosity_n and_o certain_o have_v more_o of_o humour_n in_o they_o than_o ingenuity_n we_o call_v the_o papist_n ignorant_a and_o yet_o fear_v their_o subtlety_n we_o cry_v out_o of_o the_o foggy_a mist_n and_o egyptian_a darkness_n of_o popery_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n rail_v against_o their_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n as_o crafty_a fox_n that_o destroy_v the_o vineyard_n of_o the_o gospel_n if_o they_o write_v open_o we_o say_v they_o grow_v insolent_a if_o private_o they_o seek_v to_o surprise_v we_o if_o they_o say_v nothing_o at_o all_o we_o suspect_v they_o be_v plot_v to_o do_v the_o more_o even_o since_o the_o late_a proclamation_n for_o banish_v priest_n a_o friend_n of_o i_o tell_v i_o he_o hear_v this_o captious_a dilemma_n make_v use_v of_o if_o many_o go_v away_o then_o there_o be_v many_o here_o and_o it_o be_v time_n to_o look_v to_o they_o if_o few_o than_o the_o more_o be_v leave_v behind_o and_o still_o we_o must_v have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o if_o they_o complain_v they_o be_v afflict_v we_o say_v they_o be_v malcontent_n if_o they_o take_v all_o with_o patience_n we_o say_v they_o be_v well_o enough_o now_o if_o they_o can_v be_v content_v nay_o so_o cross_o we_o interpret_v one_o another_o that_o to_o my_o amazement_n i_o have_v hear_v some_o zealous_a discourser_n affirm_v the_o papist_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o our_o division_n in_o religion_n because_o they_o be_v strive_v still_o to_o show_v that_o our_o principle_n lead_v to_o diusion_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a be_v no_o crime_n in_o they_o at_o all_o if_o false_a let_v we_o labour_n to_o disprove_v it_o they_o who_o discover_v the_o consequence_n of_o inconvenient_a maxim_n be_v not_o too_o blame_v but_o they_o who_o set_v up_o those_o maxim_n therefore_o methinks_v our_o better_a play_n in_o this_o point_n be_v first_o to_o prove_v the_o papist_n in_o a_o error_n and_o then_o the_o union_n and_o unchangeableness_n they_o so_o much_o boast_v of_o will_v be_v the_o great_a objection_n against_o they_o since_o such_o union_n make_v a_o error_n apt_a to_o deceive_v and_o such_o fixedness_n make_v it_o impossible_a to_o be_v mend_v whereas_o our_o variety_n have_v this_o advantage_n that_o some_o may_v be_v in_o the_o right_n while_o other_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n and_o if_o to_o day_n we_o mistake_v to_o morrow_n we_o may_v correct_v it_o other_o accusation_n we_o too_o hasty_o impose_v on_o they_o which_o none_o but_o fool_n and_o bedlam_n will_v be_v guilty_a of_o as_o that_o whoever_o be_v in_o power_n and_o prevail_v and_o rule_v they_o still_o oppose_v he_o and_o therefore_o at_o first_o they_o be_v against_o the_o all-commanding-long-half-lower-house_n then_o against_o oliver_n then_o against_o the_o rump_n now_o against_o the_o king_n thus_o some_o among_o we_o still_o seek_v to_o make_v it_o be_v believe_v the_o papist_n be_v always_o against_o the_o govern_n power_n only_o that_o the_o govern_v power_n may_v be_v always_o against_o they_o sure_o if_o all_o be_v true_a we_o say_v of_o they_o our_o english_a papist_n be_v a_o strange_a race_n of_o people_n every_o kind_n of_o reformer_n suspect_v they_o to_o make_v plot_n and_o conspiracy_n with_o his_o particular_a adversary_n against_o he_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o late_a time_n they_o be_v charge_v to_o conspire_v with_o the_o protestant_n against_o the_o presbyterian_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o misery_n they_o be_v accuse_v to_o conspire_v with_o the_o presbyterian_a against_o the_o fanatic_n now_o in_o the_o end_n some_o be_v find_v to_o murmur_v up_o and_o down_o that_o they_o conspire_v with_o the_o presbyterian_o and_o fanatic_n too_o against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n all_o i_o can_v say_v to_o this_o case_n be_v either_o we_o mistake_v they_o or_o they_o be_v mad_a man_n and_o have_v no_o more_o wit_n than_o a_o weathercock_n that_o where_o ever_o the_o wind_n be_v still_o turn_v his_o face_n direct_o against_o it_o though_o in_o all_o these_o instance_n i_o think_v they_o be_v extreme_o misunderstand_v yet_o be_v there_o one_o wherein_o i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v myself_o and_o that_o be_v their_o acknowledge_v a_o foreign_a authority_n in_o prejudice_n of_o our_o king_n supremacy_n and_o at_o first_o sight_n i_o easy_o discern_v the_o controversy_n have_v for_o a_o long_a time_n be_v somewhat_o mistake_v at_o least_o misexpr_a the_o question_n i_o conceive_v be_v not_o whether_o the_o supremacy_n in_o matter_n pure_o spiritual_a be_v in_o the_o king_n or_o the_o pope_n but_o whether_o in_o the_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n or_o the_o pope_n i_o shall_v only_o loosen_v the_o knot_n a_o little_a and_o then_o it_o will_v untie_v itself_o we_o know_v our_o grave_a and_o more_o learned_a divine_n distinguish_v between_o the_o inward_a power_n of_o the_o key_n and_o the_o outward_a jurisdiction_n by_o temporal_a penalty_n this_o they_o assign_v to_o the_o king_n in_o all_o cause_n and_o over_o all_o person_n that_o they_o reserve_v to_o the_o clergy_n as_o neither_o derive_v from_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n nor_o dependent_a on_o he_o and_o thus_o much_o the_o papist_n unless_o i_o be_o misinform_v be_v ready_a to_o profess_v only_o they_o fasten_v the_o toplink_n of_o the_o pure-spiritual_a chain_n to_o the_o chair_n of_o rome_n and_o not_o to_o that_o of_o canterbury_n which_o of_o these_o way_n be_v the_o more_o convenient_a i_o can_v judge_v but_o plain_o see_v if_o one_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o monarchy_n the_o other_o be_v and_o if_o a_o subject_a may_v be_v in_o any_o consideration_n supreme_a without_o derogate_a from_o his_o prince_n a_o stranger_n may_v be_v so_o too_o think_v on_o it_o well_o and_o instruct_v i_o if_o i_o err_v but_o you_o will_v reply_v if_o the_o moderate_a on_o both_o side_n so_o near_o agree_v in_o sense_n concern_v the_o king_n ecclesiastical_a authority_n why_o do_v the_o papist_n refuse_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o the_o protestant_n admit_v it_o shall_v i_o tell_v you_o free_o my_o thought_n i_o believe_v if_o the_o protestant_n understand_v that_o oath_n as_o it_o sound_v they_o will_v never_o take_v it_o for_o it_o give_v the_o king_n more_o than_o they_o mean_v and_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v understand_v it_o to_o sound_v no_o more_o than_o the_o protestant_n mean_v they_o will_v never_o refuse_v it_o how_o then_o shall_v this_o difference_n be_v reconcile_v either_o let_v both_o side_n be_v understand_v to_o mean_a as_o they_o speak_v and_o then_o neither_o of_o they_o will_v take_v it_o or_o to_o speak_v as_o they_o mean_v and_o then_o neither_o of_o they_o will_v refuse_v it_o the_o remedy_n if_o hearty_o desire_v be_v easy_a there_o need_v no_o more_o but_o fair_o to_o frame_v the_o word_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n i_o mean_v all_o this_o while_n as_o far_o as_o concern_v the_o royal_a supremacy_n in_o ecclesiastical_a affair_n not_o intermeddle_v with_o the_o pure_a spiritual_a part_n which_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o discussion_n of_o pure_a spiritual_a person_n and_o indeed_o the_o oath_n itself_o aim_v at_o no_o more_o than_o to_o assert_v these_o two_o point_n that_o the_o supreme_a power_n in_o spiritual_n belong_v to_o the_o king_n and_o that_o none_o of_o that_o power_n belong_v to_o any_o foreigner_n as_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n nor_o to_o any_o other_o as_o may_v clear_o be_v infer_v from_o the_o form_n of_o submission_n make_v 35._o eliz._n 1._o where_o the_o submitter_n be_v require_v to_o

to_o the_o church_n for_o those_o be_v the_o case_n provide_v for_o by_o that_o act._n i_o have_v almost_o forget_v a_o principal_a consideration_n the_o papist_n it_o be_v say_v solicit_v his_o sacred_a majesty_n to_o publish_v the_o late_a declaration_n for_o tender_a conscience_n and_o do_v none_o solicit_v but_o they_o or_o must_v it_o be_v count_v so_o unpardonable_a a_o crime_n for_o subject_n to_o beg_v of_o their_o king_n the_o performance_n of_o his_o royal_a word_n at_o least_o thus_o much_o we_o must_v confess_v in_o excuse_n of_o the_o papist_n they_o need_v most_o their_o prince_n indulgence_n because_o the_o law_n be_v severe_a against_o they_o they_o deserve_v it_o best_o because_o of_o all_o that_o need_v it_o they_o be_v most_o faithful_a to_o he_o they_o move_v in_o the_o fit_a time_n after_o the_o common_a uniformity_n be_v enact_v and_o before_o the_o service_n they_o have_v do_v be_v forget_v yet_o for_o all_o this_o the_o general_a mercy_n be_v far_o
