the_o true_a churchman_n if_o you_o reckon_v the_o dissenter_n more_o than_o that_o number_n you_o will_v make_v they_o too_o considerable_a if_o less_o then_o will_v the_o sober_a churchman_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o considerable_a and_o better_o bear_v the_o denomination_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o these_o few_o churchman_n whereof_o some_o be_v well_o mind_v can_v make_v so_o hideous_a a_o noise_n and_o be_v so_o unmeasurable_o concern_v in_o opposition_n to_o their_o brethren_n if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v agitate_a by_o jesuitical_a

for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o against_o forty_o one_o so_o do_v these_o member_n in_o the_o pensionary_a parliament_n that_o be_v cast_v out_o thence_o for_o be_v papist_n sure_o

that_o we_o must_v not_o judge_v of_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o people_n from_o loud_a clamour_n i_o conceive_v our_o statesman_n on_o both_o side_n be_v mistake_v and_o think_v the_o number_n of_o the_o yorkist_n have_v be_v vast_o great_a than_o upon_o trial_n it_o appear_v it_o be_v a_o great_a happiness_n to_o true_a protestant_n that_o there_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o such_o a_o

in_o their_o worst_a of_o cause_n to_o be_v great_a and_o it_o may_v provoke_v protestant_n to_o fervour_n and_o activity_n in_o the_o best_a otherwise_o we_o be_v like_a to_o be_v destroy_v i_o
