i_o have_v to_o do_v to_o concern_v myself_o with_o the_o duke_n religion_n or_o loyalty_n to_o the_o candid_a reader_n i_o hope_v this_o will_v be_v a_o full_a answer_n ever_o since_o i_o be_v eleven_o year_n old_a i_o have_v live_v under_o this_o government_n as_o it_o be_v now_o establish_v and_o my_o heart_n have_v hitherto_o bless_v the_o king_n and_o i_o have_v wish_v he_o success_n in_o all_o his_o undertake_n and_o i_o have_v have_v good_a cause_n to_o do_v so_o since_o his_o majesty_n law_n be_v a_o delight_n and_o need_v not_o be_v grievous_a to_o any_o of_o his_o subject_n on_o this_o bottom_n i_o justify_v myself_o in_o write_v upon_o this_o subject_a concern_v the_o duke_n who_o by_o all_o loyal_a man_n be_v look_v upon_o to_o be_v a_o good_a subject_n a_o dutiful_a brother_n to_o the_o king_n and_o one_o that_o seek_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n whereas_o those_o who_o say_v the_o contrary_a and_o give_v he_o the_o name_n of_o papist_n and_o traitor_n do_v general_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v of_o disloyal_a principle_n and_o such_o as_o the_o nation_n have_v little_a reason_n to_o credit_n and_o from_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o those_o who_o be_v obedient_a to_o his_o majesty_n will_v love_v the_o duke_n of_o york_n because_o the_o duke_n principle_n be_v as_o all_o good_a subject_n ought_v to_o be_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o honour_n the_o king_n and_o therefore_o his_o be_v slander_v with_o the_o name_n of_o papist_n traitor_n enemy_n to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n or_o any_o other_o name_n that_o the_o giddy_a head_n of_o these_o idle_a people_n can_v imagine_v can_v make_v no_o other_o impression_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o wise_a man_n than_o to_o raise_v a_o just_a indignation_n against_o their_o malice_n and_o a_o heart_n endeavour_v to_o prevent_v the_o danger_n that_o may_v ensue_v from_o such_o ungodly_a proceed_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o endeavour_n of_o every_o good_a christian_a and_o every_o loyal_a subject_n the_o royal_a favourite_n clear_v there_o be_v a_o time_n in_o the_o year_n 1680._o when_o this_o illustrious_a prince_n james_z duke_z of_o york_n seem_v to_o the_o morose_n and_o rude_a sort_n of_o people_n to_o lie_v under_o a_o cloud_n and_o the_o factious_a at_o that_o time_n seem_v to_o eclipse_v his_o glory_n and_o then_o to_o assert_v his_o royal_a highness_n to_o be_v a_o good_a subject_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reasonable_a argument_n ever_o bring_v to_o prove_v he_o a_o papist_n be_v all_o one_o to_o they_o as_o to_o have_v affirm_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v infallible_a or_o that_o the_o real_a presence_n be_v in_o the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o consecration_n and_o as_o little_a it_o will_v have_v be_v
