prove_v the_o correspondence_n of_o this_o truth_n with_o that_o of_o his_o pamphlet_n we_o may_v easy_o remember_v that_o all_o the_o parliament_n be_v not_o all_o presbyter_n the_o first_o

zealous_a protestant_n they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v angry_a at_o his_o make_n bold_a with_o his_o own_o party_n but_o why_o shall_v we_o stand_v in_o fear_n of_o popery_n ay_o why_o indeed_o say_v he_o he_o have_v no_o fear_n at_o all_o they_o will_v not_o hurt_v he_o for_o his_o religion_n then_o why_o shall_v we_o fear_v but_o alas_o all_o be_v not_o such_o protestant_n as_o he_o heaven_n know_v such_o champion_n for_o their_o cause_n and_o interest_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v have_v reason_n to_o fear_v notwithstanding_o all_o his_o brotherly_a advice_n to_o the_o

well_o now_o say_v he_o since_o we_o have_v law_n to_o suppress_v popery_n what_o remain_v then_o for_o a_o popish_a king_n but_o to_o put_v those_o law_n in_o execution_n and_o for_o we_o but_o to_o sit_v down_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o this_o fence_n yes_o i_o think_v a_o great_a assurance_n that_o he_o will_v execute_v they_o than_o our_o answerer_n can_v give_v his_o next_o argument_n or_o
