examine_v some_o protestant-true-representing_a character_n of_o popery_n to_o see_v how_o near_o they_o come_v to_o truth_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o find_v one_o clear_a instance_n to_o support_v the_o charge_n of_o our_o be_v misrepresent_v but_o because_o there_o have_v be_v some_o fresh_a and_o more_o authentic_a instance_n publish_v in_o a_o late_a book_n entitle_v good_a

be_v make_v of_o they_o that_o so_o we_o may_v discover_v whether_o not_o only_o the_o vulgar_a among_o protestant_n be_v deceive_v in_o their_o notion_n of_o popery_n but_o likewise_o what_o be_v of_o more_o importance_n whether_o those_o who_o be_v oblige_v by_o their_o station_n and_o character_n to_o be_v more_o sincere_a i_o mean_v their_o guide_n do_v not_o most_o evident_o contribute_v to_o the_o imprint_v these_o wrong_a notion_n in_o the_o people_n and_o upon_o such_o false_a ground_n lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o that_o vncharitableness_n animosity_n and_o

2._o the_o priest_n abroad_o in_o foreign_a nation_n procure_v money_n to_o carry_v on_o that_o devilish_a work._n 3._o be_v blood-thirsting_a man_n they_o then_o design_v to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o our_o late_a sacred_a majesty_n 4._o they_o treacherous_o murder_v one_o of_o his_o majesty_n justice_n of_o the_o peace_n in_o cold_a blood_n with_o great_a contrivance_n and_o

above_o mention_v throughout_o the_o nation_n as_o guilty_a of_o a_o most_o hellish_a and_o execrable_a design_n as_o thirst_v the_o blood_n of_o their_o sovereign_n as_o barbarous_a murderer_n engage_v in_o a_o devilish_a work_n man_n of_o insolence_n implacable_a malice_n a_o generation_n of_o viper_n devil_n of_o sedition_n and_o faction_n of_o treason_n and_o rebellion_n bloodthirsty_a and_o deceitful_a man_n etc._n etc._n now_o all_o this_o have_v be_v since_o prove_v false_a the_o invention_n of_o wicked_a politician_n and_o support_v only_o by_o the_o oath_n of_o perjure_a man_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o in_o all_o this_o time_n misrepresent_v and_o whether_o my_o boast_v adversary_n have_v a_o face_n to_o deny_v that_o after_o all_o our_o complaint_n of_o be_v misrepresent_v we_o can_v produce_v one_o clear_a instance_n to_o make_v good_a the_o charge_n certain_o if_o to_o assert_v white_a man_n to_o be_v black_a and_o to_o set_v out_o the_o innocent_a as_o guilty_a and_o that_o of_o the_o most_o hellish_a of_o crime_n be_v not_o misrepresent_v there_o be_v then_o i_o confess_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o world._n and_o yet_o however_o the_o papist_n have_v be_v most_o barbarous_o use_v upon_o the_o suppose_a gild_n of_o these_o crime_n attest_v only_o by_o profligate_v wretch_n and_o assert_v by_o the_o pulpit_n yet_o the_o answerer_n in_o his_o apology_n pag._n 5_o 6._o be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o humility_n of_o do_v the_o papist_n right_a in_o the_o case_n and_o compassionate_v they_o for_o the_o cruelty_n that_o by_o these_o mean_n be_v most_o unjust_o draw_v upon_o they_o that_o he_o only_o mince_v the_o matter_n with_o his_o iss_n and_o his_o and_o be_v and_o be_v resolve_v to_o say_v something_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o pulpit_n he_o conclude_v that_o if_o they_o err_v in_o preach_v thus_o against_o the_o papist_n they_o err_v with_o those_o before_o who_o they_o preach_v that_o be_v with_o the_o great_a tribunal_n and_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o only_o by_o way_n of_o defence_n in_o some_o manner_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o papist_n do_v not_o only_o wrongful_o suffer_v in_o their_o reputation_n from_o the_o pulpit_n but_o likewise_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o great_a tribunal_n and_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n i_o have_v all_o along_o pretend_v to_o prove_v so_o that_o i_o hope_v now_o after_o the_o conviction_n of_o the_o evidence_n of_o perjury_n and_o the_o

dwell_v long_o upon_o this_o ungrateful_a subject_n only_o one_o thing_n i_o have_v to_o wonder_v at_o and_o it_o be_v that_o since_o the_o pulpit_n have_v so_o great_a a_o share_n in_o imprint_v these_o false_a and_o unjust_a notion_n in_o the_o people_n concern_v the_o papist_n how_o it_o happen_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n hear_v from_o those_o place_n in_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o wrong_n that_o be_v do_v their_o neighbour_n those_o certain_o who_o pretend_v to_o teach_v other_o shall_v not_o be_v backward_o in_o give_v good_a example_n and_o especial_o such_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o imputation_n of_o misrepresent_v aught_o to_o do_v something_o in_o this_o kind_n and_o declare_v the_o innocence_n of_o those_o who_o they_o have_v help_v to_o proclaim_v criminal_n if_o they_o have_v err_v with_o those_o before_o who_o they_o preach_v it_o be_v but_o reason_n with_o the_o same_o to_o revoke_v the_o sentence_n they_o pass_v and_o restore_v the_o reputation_n of_o those_o who_o suffer_v by_o their_o error_n the_o judge_n and_o bar_n have_v do_v this_o the_o great_a tribunal_n of_o parliament_n too_o have_v not_o be_v want_v
