athanasius_n have_v five_o bishop_n and_o have_v have_v seven_o to_o bear_v the_o blame_n with_o he_o of_o refuse_v the_o oath_n have_v those_o two_o be_v now_o alive_a who_o in_o the_o last_o page_n of_o your_o reply_n you_o confess_v to_o be_v eminent_a and_o good_a men._n be_v st._n paul_n case_n ever_o the_o worse_a because_o all_o man_n forsake_v he_o at_o his_o first_o hear_v at_o rome_n pray_v sir_n consider_v what_o a_o trifle_a argument_n it_o will_v be_v against_o the_o bishop_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o have_v no_o partner_n with_o they_o in_o their_o cause_n but_o it_o be_v a_o most_o impudent_a untruth_n for_o several_a lord_n and_o other_o gentleman_n have_v refuse_v the_o oath_n not_o to_o mention_v inferior_a clergyman_n and_o fellow_n and_o scholar_n of_o college_n who_o be_v below_o none_o of_o their_o brethren_n and_o colleague_n in_o true_a merit_n and_o though_o sir_n you_o have_v not_o concern_v for_o they_o yet_o many_o good_a man_n have_v and_o will_v before_o now_o have_v intercede_v for_o they_o have_v they_o not_o be_v hinder_v by_o the_o avarice_n and_o ambition_n of_o some_o who_o it_o may_v be_v as_o the_o letter_n suggest_v have_v already_o cast_v lot_n for_o their_o garment_n i_o be_o sorry_a there_o be_v occasion_n give_v to_o think_v that_o some_o person_n who_o ought_v to_o be_v free_a from_o this_o odious_a imputation_n lie_v under_o the_o suspicion_n of_o it_o and_o the_o best_a way_n to_o clear_v themselves_o will_v be_v now_o to_o show_v their_o zeal_n and_o forwardness_n in_o endeavour_v to_o prevent_v the_o fall_n of_o their_o brethren_n unless_o the_o whole_a design_n of_o your_o paper_n be_v to_o let_v the_o world_n know_v that_o their_o ruin_n be_v resolve_v upon_o and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o fall_v lament_v and_o pity_v to_o render_v they_o odious_a before_o hand_n you_o have_v indeed_o former_o make_v many_o splendid_a but_o empty_a invective_n declamation_n against_o persecution_n without_o distinguish_v of_o the_o cause_n suffer_v but_o now_o sir_n forget_v what_o you_o have_v write_v upon_o this_o as_o well_o as_o upon_o other_o subject_n you_o can_v persecute_v great_a and_o good_a man_n with_o delight_n and_o depress_v the_o merit_n of_o their_o former_a suffering_n even_o to_o nauseousness_n tell_v we_o plain_o again_o that_o you_o can_v brook_v their_o commendation_n in_o the_o superlative_a degree_n only_o as_o you_o add_v for_o not_o take_v the_o oath_n but_o sir_n 18._o pag_n 18._o this_o be_v another_o of_o your_o malicious_a insinuation_n for_o the_o letter_n do_v not_o make_v encomium_n on_o they_o for_o that_o but_o for_o what_o they_o do_v and_o suffer_v for_o the_o nation_n in_o that_o which_o you_o call_v the_o great_a and_o glorious_a scene_n and_o though_o his_o encomium_n be_v now_o and_o then_o in_o the_o superlative_a yet_o he_o make_v no_o comparison_n as_o you_o suggest_v nor_o do_v a_o superlative_a in_o its_o nature_n imply_v comparison_n any_o more_o than_o the_o positive_a degree_n if_o one_o sir_n shall_v say_v you_o be_v a_o most_o or_o a_o very_a learned_a man_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o twenty_o more_o may_v be_v as_o learned_a as_o you_o but_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o good_a bishop_n in_o the_o superlative_a shall_v so_o gall_v you_o for_o there_o be_v some_o spirit_n as_o thirsty_a of_o praise_n as_o miser_n be_v of_o money_n they_o can_v bear_v rival_n in_o fame_n or_o greatness_n but_o will_v engross_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o same_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o think_v all_o the_o honour_n that_o be_v give_v to_o other_o especial_o in_o the_o superlative_a degree_n be_v so_o much_o take_v from_o themselves_o i_o will_v now_o sir_n accompany_v you_o to_o the_o declaration_n sign_v december_n 11_o 1688._o and_o as_o you_o be_v so_o kind_a to_o the_o bishop_n as_o to_o make_v they_o judge_n in_o their_o own_o cause_n so_o i_o will_v return_v your_o civility_n upon_o you_o in_o make_v you_o judge_v in_o you_o and_o in_o order_n to_o that_o i_o shall_v ask_v you_o a_o question_n or_o two_o before_o i_o answer_v those_o which_o you_o put_v to_o they_o be_v the_o sign_v of_o the_o declaration_n in_o that_o time_n of_o confusion_n a_o deviation_n from_o their_o duty_n or_o not_o if_o it_o be_v not_o than_o they_o commit_v no_o fault_n in_o do_v of_o it_o but_o be_v still_o unblemished_a if_o it_o be_v than_o indeed_o they_o be_v culpable_a but_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o they_o do_v one_o ill_a indeliberate_a action_n upon_o surprise_n and_o in_o great_a consternation_n then_o that_o they_o must_v do_v a_o deliberate_a one_o ten_o time_n worse_o now_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o sir_n those_o good_a and_o learned_a man_n be_v no_o such_o loose_a casuist_n it_o be_v not_o with_o they_o over_o shoe_n over_o boot_n that_o be_v no_o rule_n of_o practice_n for_o they_o whatsoever_o it_o may_v be_v for_o such_o as_o you_o nor_o do_v they_o understand_v the_o modern_a way_n of_o correct_v one_o error_n by_o another_o and_o commit_v a_o second_o fault_n to_o justify_v a_o former_a and_o a_o three_o to_o justify_v they_o both_o i_o shall_v now_o sir_n true_o and_o fair_o state_n that_o action_n and_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a no_o equitable_a person_n will_v think_v it_o needs_o any_o further_a apology_n at_o that_o time_n the_o king_n be_v withdraw_v all_o his_o army_n which_o have_v not_o desert_v disband_v the_o rabble_n get_v loose_a from_o the_o reins_o of_o government_n the_o common_a safety_n endanger_v now_o under_o these_o circumstance_n be_v it_o a_o deviation_n from_o their_o duty_n to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o p._n of_o o._n who_o have_v by_o his_o declaration_n set_v forth_o that_o he_o have_v no_o other_o design_n in_o his_o undertake_n than_o to_o procure_v a_o settlement_n of_o the_o religion_n and_o of_o the_o liberty_n and_o property_n of_o the_o subject_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o he_o will_v refer_v all_o to_o a_o free_a assembly_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o a_o lawful_a parliament_n and_o at_o that_o time_n the_o prince_n be_v at_o the_o head_n of_o a_o potent_a army_n have_v the_o sole_a power_n and_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n of_o preserve_v the_o public_a peace_n by_o take_v the_o government_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o riotous_a mob_n who_o furious_a insolency_n and_o grow_a tumult_n threaten_v the_o like_a desolation_n to_o london_n and_o other_o part_n of_o this_o nation_n that_o massianello_n former_o bring_v upon_o naples_n and_o be_v under_o this_o inevitable_a necessity_n of_o make_v application_n to_o the_o p._n of_o o._n those_o good_a bishop_n entire_o trust_v in_o his_o highness_n good_a intention_n do_v sign_n that_o declaration_n the_o sum_n of_o which_o be_v that_o they_o will_v assist_v he_o in_o obtain_v such_o a_o parliament_n wherein_o our_o law_n and_o liberty_n may_v be_v secure_v the_o protestant_a interest_n support_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o establish_a government_n of_o these_o kingdom_n now_o pray_v sir_n why_o shall_v those_o bishop_n have_v under_o those_o circumstance_n sign_v that_o declaration_n be_v unwilling_a to_o be_v judge_v for_o so_o do_v either_o by_o the_o declaration_n itself_o or_o by_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o but_o certain_o there_o be_v some_o in_o the_o world_n who_o have_v need_n be_v cautious_a of_o pass_a sentence_n on_o the_o declaration_n of_o other_o men._n every_o revile_v censure_n fly_v in_o their_o face_n who_o have_v manifest_o and_o notorious_o deviate_v from_o their_o own_o solenm_fw-la declaration_n and_o subscription_n make_v deliberate_o in_o calm_a and_o sedate_v time_n and_o to_o answer_v the_o query_n you_o put_v to_o the_o bishop_n i_o reply_v that_o i_o can_v conceive_v that_o by_o any_o rule_n in_o logic_n it_o can_v be_v infer_v that_o because_o they_o declare_v to_o assist_v the_o p._n of_o o._n in_o obtain_v a_o free_a parliament_n wherein_o the_o then_o law_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v secure_v and_o the_o then_o establish_v government_n support_v they_o therefore_o judge_v that_o k._n j._n have_v deserted_n and_o abdicate_v his_o kingdom_n it_o be_v true_a he_o have_v withdraw_v his_o person_n but_o do_v every_o withdraw_a of_o a_o king_n amount_v to_o a_o desertion_n and_o abdication_n several_a of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v withdraw_v themselves_o and_o yet_o have_v not_o be_v think_v to_o have_v abdicate_v as_o edward_n the_o first_o do_v king_n charles_n the_o first_o when_o he_o escape_v out_o of_o hampton-court_n king_n charles_n the_o second_o when_o he_o leave_v the_o kingdom_n after_o worcester_n fight_n and_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o sir_n that_o several_a
