(a loyal subject of the Roman Catholick communion) touching the Roman consistorie's designs and practices, by and with their correspondents here, (viz. the Jesuits, monks and friers) to the prejudice of this nation, and the future involving it in misery and trouble, under the (feigned) pretence of advancing Catholick religion : together with some general remedies or expedients for preventing thereof, expresses in certain propositions, and humbly submitted to the censure of those whose prudence, or authority inables them better to judge of things.

of_o religion_n proposition_n xlviii_o i_o mean_v only_o to_o insist_v upon_o such_o matter_n as_o relate_v to_o the_o church_n and_o state_n of_o england_n otherwise_o i_o can_v willing_o enough_o

both_o in_o the_o french_a court_n in_o their_o ship_n at_o sea_n and_o perhaps_o even_o at_o candia_n itself_o last_o because_o that_o to_o be_v so_o indifferent_a and_o prevaricate_a in_o the_o

opinion_n it_o may_v be_v both_o the_o interest_n and_o the_o design_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o for_o this_o end_n namely_o that_o in_o case_n christian_n prince_n shall_v go_v about_o at_o any_o

will_v do_v whensoever_o such_o a_o case_n happen_v if_o good_a heed_n be_v not_o take_v and_o therefore_o i_o say_v they_o care_v the_o less_o at_o present_a to_o permit_v the_o turk_n reduce_v of_o
