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

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

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

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

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 what_o they_o say_v therefore_o i_o find_v such_o as_o you_o be_v the_o plotter_n for_o they_o trouble_v i_o many_o week_n together_o and_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v never_o get_v rid_v of_o they_o but_o i_o fast_v seven_o day_n and_o night_n to_o give_v the_o late_a king_n a_o petition_n that_o

he_o may_v know_v in_o what_o state_n his_o kingdom_n stand_v in_o and_o though_o i_o never_o see_v they_o afterward_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o there_o be_v endeavour_n use_v to_o blind_v he_o but_o if_o it_o have_v please_v god_n that_o his_o majesty_n have_v li●ed_v a_o little_a long_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v have_v take_v new_a measure_n that_o you_o shall_v never_o have_v have_v cause_n to_o boast_v that_o you_o make_v he_o a_o preselite_n and_o as_o for_o my_o sovereign_n that_o now_o be_v he_o be_v as_o sweet_a and_o precious_a a_o prince_n as_o the_o world_n can_v afford_v and_o it_o be_v pity_v you_o shall_v abuse_v he_o for_o he_o be_v a_o king_n of_o great_a experience_n and_o have_v suffer_v as_o much_o as_o any_o prince_n in_o the_o world_n which_o do_v teach_v his_o majesty_n such_o wisdom_n that_o it_o be_v his_o whole_a ca●e_n to_o keep_v his_o kingdom_n in_o peace_n and_o to_o have_v his_o people_n to_o flourish_n and_o will_v not_o disturb_v the_o peace_n thereof_o upon_o any_o condition_n whatsoever_o and_o god_n be_v thank_v the_o king_n have_v no_o need_n to_o distrust_v we_o for_o be_v not_o his_o god_n our_o god_n and_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v a_o christian_a king_n who_o believe_v in_o the_o almighty_a who_o make_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o he_o do_v believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v his_o son_n and_o that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_o sinner_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o his_o whole_a trust_n be_v in_o his_o merit_n and_o we_o all_o hold_v and_o own_o the_o same_o so_o that_o we_o lack_v nothing_o but_o a_o holy_a life_n agreeable_a to_o the_o life_n of_o jesus_n but_o i_o find_v you_o be_v mettlesome_a spirit_n and_o want_n employ_v therefore_o i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o go_v to_o the_o turk_n and_o infidel_n and_o convert_v they_o and_o in_o so_o do_v you_o may_v expect_v your_o reward_n and_o i_o shall_v like_v it_o well_o but_o for_o you_o to_o think_v that_o you_o can_v convert_v people_n when_o they_o be_v convert_v already_o be_v mere_a nonsense_n for_o it_o be_v pervert_v and_o undo_v what_o the_o bless_a spirit_n have_v do_v which_o will_v be_v a_o sin_n of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o i_o will_v not_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o for_o all_o the_o world._n i_o know_v you_o will_v be_v angry_a but_o i_o do_v not_o value_v it_o for_o i_o must_v discharge_v my_o conscience_n towards_o all_o and_o if_o you_o will_v have_v i_o to_o be_v your_o friend_n you_o must_v take_v new_a measure_n and_o learn_v of_o christ_n for_o he_o do_v good_a to_o all_o and_o hurt_v to_o none_o and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o have_v i_o to_o speak_v against_o you_o you_o must_v not_o give_v i_o the_o occasion_n i_o be_o sure_a my_o sovereign_n will_v not_o allow_v you_o to_o vilify_v and_o abuse_v we_o for_o he_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o mercy_n and_o have_v promise_v that_o he_o will_v defend_v we_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o will_v venture_v as_o far_o as_o any_o in_o our_o vindication_n and_o the_o king_n be_v satisfy_v with_o our_o loyalty_n and_o declare_v it_o to_o the_o world_n and_o how_o dare_v you_o condemn_v the_o king_n judgement_n and_o scandalize_v the_o church_n for_o all_o that_o know_v she_o know_v she_o to_o be_v the_o only_a church_n for_o loyalty_n for_o do_v any_o of_o you_o own_o the_o king_n to_o be_v supreme_a head_n and_o governor_n but_o she_o and_o for_o your_o part_n all_o the_o world_n know_v what_o you_o own_o so_o that_o my_o sovereign_a can_v be_v your_o supreme_a governor_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o comparison_n to_o be_v make_v i_o myself_o can_v weigh_v you_o all_o down_o for_o loyalty_n and_o if_o i_o can_v do_v so_o much_o for_o that_o be_o but_o one_o what_o shall_v we_o all_o do_v therefore_o i_o know_v the_o king_n will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o i_o if_o i_o vindicate_v the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o in_o vindicate_v of_o she_o i_o vindicate_v his_o majesty_n which_o i_o have_v always_o do_v for_o when_o the_o peer_n speech_n abuse_v my_o sovereign_n i_o answer_v it_o for_o i_o hate_v rebellion_n and_o the_o church_n do_v not_o hinder_v any_o one_o from_o that_o singular_a gift_n of_o loyalty_n for_o her_o desire_n be_v that_o all_o shall_v fear_v god_n and_o honour_n the_o king_n and_o she_o be_v the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o will_v own_v she_o for_o his_o mystical_a body_n and_o every_o one_o that_o true_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o body_n and_o all_o the_o member_n make_v the_o whole_a and_o her_o doctrine_n be_v holy_a i_o wish_v those_o that_o own_o her_o will_v live_v according_a to_o her_o doctrine_n for_o than_o they_o will_v be_v safe_a and_o happy_a she_o have_v be_v infallible_a in_o her_o duty_n to_o her_o king_n which_o her_o discontent_a brethren_n know_v full_a well_o for_o that_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o they_o lay_v to_o her_o charge_n that_o she_o will_v not_o be_v treacherous_a to_o her_o prince_n nor_o side_n with_o his_o enemy_n for_o if_o she_o have_v you_o will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o great_a as_o you_o be_v now_o though_o she_o be_v not_o for_o popery_n as_o some_o thought_n for_o indeed_o she_o have_v always_o be_v the_o bulwark_n against_o it_o and_o that_o make_v you_o envy_v she_o so_o for_o you_o think_v if_o you_o can_v but_o bring_v she_o down_o you_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o with_o the_o brat_n who_o you_o beget_v though_o your_o infallible_a belief_n in_o they_o may_v deceive_v you_o for_o though_o you_o make_v they_o enemy_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n yet_o i_o find_v they_o will_v prove_v no_o friend_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o indeed_o every_o good_a soul_n will_v rather_o endure_v any_o thing_n than_o to_o be_v enslave_v with_o popery_n and_o as_o for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n she_o never_o live_v under_o the_o slavish_a fear_n of_o it_o as_o the_o dissenter_n do_v but_o do_v trust_n god_n with_o all_o and_o desire_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o serve_v god_n true_o and_o the_o king_n right_o and_o as_o for_o her_o revelation_n as_o you_o say_v be_v peculiar_a to_o herself_o be_v a_o clear_a mistake_n and_o yet_o her_o lord_n and_o head_n have_v promise_v that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o she_o and_o what_o be_v the_o gate_n of_o hell_n but_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o lead_v we_o to_o darkness_n and_o ignorance_n and_o to_o fling_v down_o god_n holy_a will_n and_o to_o set_v up_o the_o will_n of_o man_n and_o secret_o make_v we_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o christ_n and_o a_o friend_n to_o antichrist_n but_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o save_o his_o own_o and_o that_o you_o shall_v know_v for_o he_o have_v his_o choose_a people_n among_o all_o and_o i_o real_o do_v believe_v he_o have_v his_o saint_n and_o servant_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o and_o i_o hope_v our_o of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n he_o will_v reconcile_v our_o difference_n and_o make_v we_o happy_a and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o envy_v our_o happiness_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o the_o almighty_a in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o anger_n for_o his_o power_n be_v able_a to_o disperse_v they_o and_o to_o blow_v they_o away_o in_o a_o minute_n as_o his_o divine_a power_n do_v the_o locust_n therefore_o i_o will_v advise_v all_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v quiet_a and_o amend_v for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v for_o while_o we_o
