A36317	Fears and jealousies ceas'd, or, An impartial discourse, tending to demonstrate from the folly and ill success of the Romish politicks, that there is no reason to apprehend any danger from popery in a letter to a friend.	Doolittle, Thomas, 1632?-1707.	1688 (1688)	Wing D1884; ESTC R12533	8,954	10

cruelty_n they_o use_v the_o poor_a protestant_n there_o what_o unheard_a of_o torment_n they_o make_v they_o endure_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o hang_n burn_a and_o cut_v of_o throat_n be_v but_o plain_a work_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o more_o exquisite_a invention_n of_o those_o modern_a executioner_n now_o if_o these_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o refine_v popery_n i_o leave_v you_o to_o determine_v what_o stomach_n people_n can_v have_v to_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o our_o super-refiners_a but_o you_o will_v object_v perhaps_o that_o whatever_o concern_v france_n be_v whole_o foreign_a to_o we_o and_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o nation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v move_v with_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o we_o ourselves_o see_v act_v or_o at_o least_o remember_v do_v as_o to_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o objection_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o same_o cause_n must_v necessary_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n we_o see_v that_o our_o converter_n bring_v over_o their_o doctrine_n along_o with_o they_o from_o france_n a_o little_a mend_v i_o must_v confess_v according_a to_o their_o poor_a ability_n they_o pursue_v the_o same_o method_n to_o propagate_v it_o as_o the_o french_a do_v before_o they_o take_v off_o the_o mask_n and_o have_v not_o his_o majesty_n be_v gracious_o please_v to_o stop_v their_o proceed_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o their_o endeavour_n will_v not_o have_v be_v want_v to_o imitate_v to_o the_o life_n if_o not_o to_o improve_v the_o original_a as_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n i_o will_v suppose_v it_o at_o present_a to_o be_v true_a that_o most_o man_n here_o be_v whole_o ignorant_a of_o the_o affair_n of_o their_o brethren_n abroad_o yet_o have_v they_o learn_v from_o the_o action_n and_o write_n of_o the_o propagator_n themselves_o enough_o to_o make_v they_o for_o ever_o detest_v that_o religion_n which_o suggest_v to_o her_o follower_n such_o treacherous_a mean_n as_o they_o have_v use_v to_o introduce_v it_o to_o prove_v which_o i_o need_v only_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o some_o of_o their_o brave_a exploit_n for_o which_o they_o will_v never_o be_v forget_v in_o england_n and_o from_o hence_o you_o may_v easy_o imagine_v how_o mighty_o they_o be_v like_a to_o prevail_v among_o we_o you_o can_v but_o remember_v how_o in_o his_o late_a majesty_n reign_n the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o person_n who_o have_v distinguish_v themselves_o for_o their_o loyalty_n to_o their_o prince_n and_o affection_n to_o their_o church_n see_v a_o most_o powerful_a party_n of_o the_o nation_n furious_o enrage_v against_o the_o whole_a canaille_fw-fr of_o these_o miscreant_n take_v compassion_n on_o their_o suffering_n and_o without_o over-curious_o examine_v their_o case_n but_o judge_v by_o themselves_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o animal_n in_o human_a shape_n to_o be_v guilty_a of_o what_o they_o be_v accuse_v snatch_v they_o out_o of_o the_o fire_n though_o they_o burn_v their_o own_o hand_n by_o the_o bargain_n stand_v in_o the_o gap_n betwixt_o they_o and_o death_n and_o abandon_v themselves_o to_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o incense_a multitude_n to_o preserve_v these_o wretch_n now_o after_o such_o signal_n obligation_n one_o may_v reasonable_o expect_v some_o small_a sign_n of_o gratitude_n from_o they_o to_o their_o protector_n but_o they_o that_o do_v so_o know_v they_o not_o and_o they_o that_o have_v unwary_o nourish_v they_o in_o their_o bosom_n soon_o find_v what_o a_o generation_n of_o viper_n they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o who_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v warm_a fall_v a_o hiss_v and_o spit_v their_o venom_n at_o their_o benefactor_n sure_o we_o may_v have_v hope_v for_o at_o least_o that_o favour_n at_o their_o hand_n which_o the_o cyclops_n give_v to_o ulysses_n to_o be_v the_o last_o object_n of_o their_o outrageous_a malice_n but_o these_o more_o savage_a monster_n of_o ingratitude_n scorn_v to_o follow_v the_o step_n of_o any_o in_o their_o villainy_n and_o be_v resolve_v to_o become_v a_o original_a themselves_o never_o to_o be_v imitate_v but_o i_o will_v yet_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v many_o englishman_n who_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o their_o charity_n will_v absolve_v these_o good_a father_n of_o what_o have_v be_v hitherto_o say_v and_o lay_v all_o the_o fault_n at_o the_o

the_o sense_n to_o conceal_v they_o from_o we_o heretic_n or_o the_o common_a people_n at_o least_o the_o most_o part_n of_o which_o be_v not_o so_o very_o conversant_a with_o the_o casuist_n as_o to_o have_v their_o stomach_n prepare_v to_o digest_v so_o crude_a a_o doctrine_n but_o if_o we_o take_v a_o short_a view_n of_o their_o late_a action_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o controversy_n whether_o they_o have_v not_o show_v themselves_o not_o only_o to_o the_o discern_v part_n of_o mankind_n but_o even_o to_o those_o of_o the_o mean_a capacity_n to_o be_v great_a
