protestant_a religion_n who_o perhaps_o former_o in_o their_o unhappy_a difference_n he_o mistake_v to_o be_v popish_o affect_v or_o not_o far_o enough_o remove_v from_o popery_n and_o too_o zealous_a

they_o have_v have_v jealous_a thought_n lest_o they_o be_v too_o much_o popish_o incline_v now_o approve_v themselves_o the_o defender_n and_o champion_n of_o the_o protestant_a cause_n which_o they_o have_v maintain_v with_o that_o clearness_n and_o strength_n that_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o downfall_n of_o rome_n will_v hereafter_o be_v date_v from_o the_o time_n of_o their_o

indeed_o be_v want_v to_o revive_v and_o heighten_v the_o dissenter_n old_a jealousy_n in_o this_o kind_n by_o several_a late_a pamphlet_n pretend_v a_o wonderful_a agreement_n betwixt_o the_o
