mrs._n james_n vindication_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o a_o answer_n to_o a_o pamphlet_n entitle_v a_o new_a test_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n loyalty_n it_o be_v not_o interest_n that_o move_v i_o to_o this_o for_o i_o never_o make_v gain_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o ever_o i_o do_v nor_o none_o i_o do_v desire_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n judgement_n that_o have_v be_v the_o sole_a cause_n of_o all_o my_o action_n for_o above_o these_o twenty_o year_n london_n print_v for_o i_o elinor_n james_n 1687._o a_o advice_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o for_o conscience_n i_o do_v not_o count_v it_o a_o sufficient_a guide_n because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o infallible_a but_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o err_v and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o i_o find_v those_o that_o will_v not_o be_v guide_v by_o that_o do_v not_o yield_v civil_a obedience_n to_o temporal_a magistrate_n and_o how_o can_v they_o to_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o not_o so_o much_o for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n but_o since_o it_o be_v the_o king_n pleasure_n i_o rest_v satisfy_v for_o if_o they_o misimploy_v it_o be_v not_o god_n hand_n long_o enough_o to_o reach_v they_o but_o who_o know_v but_o that_o god_n that_o convert_v st._n paul_n may_v convert_v they_o all_o that_o be_v zealous_a and_o do_v not_o intend_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o his_o glory_n but_o for_o those_o that_o be_v envious_a you_o must_v not_o look_v that_o they_o will_v ever_o be_v otherwise_o i_o know_v they_o offend_v you_o because_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v loyal_a subject_n indeed_o i_o wonder_v how_o they_o dare_v say_v so_o when_o the_o world_n know_v they_o never_o have_v any_o but_o why_o shall_v any_o be_v unwilling_a to_o return_v the_o king_n thanks_o i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o every_o one_o be_v oblige_v to_o and_o since_o the_o king_n be_v please_v to_o renew_v his_o promise_n that_o none_o need_v to_o doubt_v his_o fidelity_n i_o think_v it_o be_v but_o reason_n to_o renew_v your_o thanks_o and_o as_o for_o oxford_n they_o be_v no_o example_n because_o none_o lie_v under_o their_o circumstance_n but_o when_o his_o majesty_n be_v please_v to_o remove_v their_o doubt_n i_o do_v question_v but_o that_o they_o will_v be_v forward_o enough_o with_o their_o addressing_z and_o till_o that_o be_v do_v i_o can_v blame_v they_o but_o i_o find_v you_o scruple_n because_o you_o will_v not_o be_v after_o the_o dissenter_n what_o a_o simple_a pride_n be_v that_o for_o a_o christian_n ought_v to_o imitate_v all_o good_a thing_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o excuse_n fear_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o trust_v in_o god_n love_v the_o king_n and_o be_v kind_a one_o to_o another_o and_o do_v not_o addict_v yourselves_o to_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o christianity_n and_o i_o think_v you_o be_v oblige_v to_o frequent_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n for_o christ_n do_v it_o and_o how_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o i_o be_o very_o ambitious_a that_o you_o shall_v exceed_v other_o i_o have_v always_o love_v the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v dignify_v above_o all_o and_o that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o mover_n of_o all_o their_o action_n as_o for_o mr._n dryden_n though_o some_o blame_v he_o for_o use_v my_o name_n i_o do_v not_o because_o he_o have_v use_v it_o civil_o indeed_o i_o do_v not_o know_v he_o nor_o never_o read_v his_o book_n but_o i_o be_o tell_v that_o he_o do_v abuse_v the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o which_o i_o blame_v he_o for_o i_o count_v it_o not_o wisdom_n for_o a_o wit_n to_o reflect_v on_o that_o he_o so_o late_o own_a i_o hear_v there_o be_v query_n cry_v but_o i_o have_v not_o see_v they_o but_o understand_v they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n o_o that_o i_o be_v but_o a_o man_n i_o will_v study_v night_n and_o day_n and_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o i_o ●●ould_v be_v more_o than_o a_o conqueror_n and_o so_o i_o hope_v to_o be_v nevertheless_o mrs._n james_n vindication_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n etc._n etc._n sir_n i_o be_o very_o sorry_a to_o think_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v always_o such_o a_o subtle_a adversary_n but_o you_o say_v you_o never_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o show_v your_o spite_n and_o malice_n until_o now_o you_o say_v you_o can_v never_o find_v a_o convince_v reason_n and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n be_v it_o not_o because_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v with_o your_o interest_n for_o that_o be_v all_o that_o you_o aim_v at_o for_o that_o be_v the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n and_o he_o have_v blind_v your_o eye_n and_o stupefy_v your_o understanding_n and_o thicken_v your_o scall_a so_o that_o if_o a_o angel_n come_v to_o instruct_v you_o you_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o receive_v it_o if_o it_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o your_o interest_n i_o think_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n may_v have_v change_v your_o disposition_n see_v that_o the_o king_n intention_n be_v so_o gracious_a as_o think_v it_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o unite_v our_o difference_n and_o to_o heal_v our_o breach_n and_o you_o know_v it_o be_v the_o care_n of_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n to_o prevent_v scandalous_a pamphlet_n against_o the_o king_n and_o government_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o i_o how_o you_o can_v print_v your_o paper_n with_o allowance_n when_o it_o be_v of_o such_o a_o pernicious_a nature_n and_o its_o whole_a aim_n be_v against_o the_o government_n sure_o those_o gentleman_n that_o have_v the_o care_n of_o the_o government_n be_v very_o negligent_a or_o else_o you_o dare_v not_o say_v with_o allowance_n certain_o none_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n will_v grant_v it_o you_o and_o if_o they_o do_v they_o must_v be_v treacherous_a to_o their_o trust_n and_o be_v no_o friend_n to_o the_o king_n and_o government_n for_o can_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o a_o more_o pernicious_a consequence_n than_o this_o that_o will_v destroy_v the_o very_a foundation_n how_o do_v you_o think_v i_o can_v bear_v it_o when_o god_n have_v fill_v my_o heart_n full_a of_o love_n and_o loyalty_n and_o i_o know_v you_o abuse_v they_o for_o you_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o call_v their_o loyalty_n into_o question_n for_o i_o know_v their_o loyalty_n and_o have_v be_v a_o labourer_n with_o they_o therefore_o i_o have_v the_o great_a reason_n to_o plead_v for_o they_o but_o i_o know_v you_o will_v say_v i_o be_o a_o woman_n and_o why_o shall_v i_o trouble_v myself_o why_o be_v i_o not_o always_o so_o when_o i_o plead_v with_o the_o parliament_n about_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n and_o with_o shaftsbury_n and_o monmouth_n and_o at_o guild-hall_n and_o elsewhere_o and_o i_o make_v application_n to_o my_o late_a sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n who_o my_o soul_n love_v that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o let_v i_o undertake_v for_o the_o city_n and_o to_o make_v i_o a_o god_n mother_n to_o which_o the_o king_n answer_v it_o will_v be_v too_o great_a a_o undertake_n for_o i_o but_o i_o reply_v that_o if_o it_o may_v not_o be_v for_o all_o that_o it_o may_v be_v for_o some_o and_o the_o king_n grant_v my_o desire_n and_o i_o ask_v his_o majesty_n whether_o he_o will_v not_o wish_v well_o to_o it_o and_o the_o king_n reply_v ay_o with_o all_o my_o heart_n and_o soul_n be_v not_o he_o a_o gracious_a prince_n for_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o seek_v nothing_o but_o the_o true_a interest_n of_o his_o people_n but_o i_o know_v such_o as_o you_o be_v none_o of_o his_o friend_n for_o you_o do_v all_o you_o can_v to_o pervert_v his_o kingdom_n and_o sow_n division_n among_o his_o people_n and_o by_o such_o do_n you_o make_v his_o throne_n uneasy_a indeed_o than_o you_o may_v be_v for_o the_o duke_n interest_n because_o it_o be_v your_o own_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v his_o loss_n for_o before_o he_o look_v towards_o you_o all_o the_o people_n love_v and_o admire_v he_o and_o who_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o change_n be_v it_o not_o you_o that_o go_v up_o and_o down_o incense_v the_o people_n of_o the_o great_a proselyte_n you_o have_v make_v for_o i_o suppose_v you_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o they_o come_v to_o i_o and_o i_o know_v
