access_n to_o he_o so_o unjust_a as_o well_o as_o sordid_o false_a be_v all_o those_o story_n of_o the_o town_n the_o only_a reason_n that_o i_o can_v apprehend_v they_o have_v to_o repute_v i_o a_o

a_o duty_n to_o improve_v the_o little_a interest_n i_o have_v for_o the_o good_a of_o those_o that_o need_v it_o especial_o the_o poor_a i_o may_v add_v something_o of_o my_o own_o assair_n too_o though_o i_o must_v own_v if_o i_o may_v without_o vanity_n that_o they_o have_v ever_o have_v the_o least_o share_n of_o my_o thought_n or_o pain_n or_o else_o they_o will_v not_o have_v still_o

it_o be_v fit_a i_o contradict_v they_o as_o particular_o as_o they_o accuse_v i_o i_o say_v then_o solemn_o that_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o have_v be_v breed_v at_o st._n omers_n and_o have_v

i_o challenge_v the_o most_o celebrate_a protestant_a of_o the_o english_a church_n or_o any_o other_o upon_o that_o head_n be_v he_o layman_n or_o clergyman_n in_o public_a or_o in_o private_a for_o

of_o the_o roman_n catholic_n communion_n we_o hold_v not_o our_o property_n or_o protection_n from_o he_o by_o our_o persuasion_n and_o therefore_o his_o persuasion_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o

whatever_o practice_n of_o roman_a catholic_n we_o may_v reasonable_o object_v against_o and_o we_o know_v such_o there_o be_v yet_o he_o have_v disclaim_v and_o reprehend_v those_o ill_a thing_n by_o his_o declare_a opinion_n against_o persecution_n by_o the_o ease_n in_o which_o he_o actual_o indulge_v all_o dissenter_n and_o by_o the_o confirmation_n he_o offer_v in_o parliament_n for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o in_o his_o honour_n as_o well_o as_o in_o my_o own_o desence_n i_o be_o oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v ever_o declare_v to_o i_o it_o be_v his_o opinion_n and_o on_o all_o occasion_n when_o duke_n he_o never_o refuse_v i_o the_o repeat_v proof_n of_o it_o as_o often_o as_o i_o have_v any_o poor_a sufferer_n for_o conscience_n sake_n to_o solicit_v his_o help_n for_o but_o some_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o say_v why_o not_o any_o body_n else_o as_o well_o as_o well_o as_o i_o why_o must_v i_o have_v the_o preferable_a access_n to_o other_o dissenter_n if_o not_o a_o papist_n i_o answer_v i_o know_v not_o that_o it_o be_v so_o but_o this_o i_o know_v that_o i_o have_v make_v it_o
