the_o strict_a execution_n of_o penal_a law_n be_v a_o practice_n that_o have_v a_o just_a odium_n leave_v upon_o it_o but_o be_v sorry_a that_o the_o just_a odium_n leave_v upon_o it_o among_o we_o shall_v be_v whole_o confine_v to_o we_o and_o that_o this_o practice_n shall_v have_v no_o censure_n nor_o reflection_n cast_v upon_o it_o among_o our_o neighbour_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o the_o author_n shall_v say_v that_o there_o be_v so_o apparent_a a_o contrariety_n in_o it_o to_o the_o mild_a and_o merciful_a genius_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n see_v he_o can_v but_o know_v the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v a_o avow_v doctrine_n and_o a_o general_n practice_n among_o the_o presbyterian_o and_o independent_n to_o bar_v the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n from_o the_o free_a exercise_n of_o divine_a worship_n according_a to_o their_o conscience_n and_o it_o be_v as_o strange_a that_o this_o practice_n shall_v be_v so_o apparent_o contrary_a to_o our_o holy_a religion_n and_o have_v so_o mischievous_a effect_n upon_o the_o public_a peace_n here_o in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o yet_o be_v think_v so_o great_a a_o evidence_n of_o a_o true_o christian_a zeal_n and_o so_o effectual_a a_o instrument_n of_o public_a good_a in_o scotland_n and_o how_o possible_o can_v our_o author_n hope_n that_o all_o protestant_n be_v in_o this_o point_n come_v to_o a_o better_a temper_n than_o to_o gratify_v their_o enemy_n by_o ruine_v their_o brethren_n when_o there_o be_v so_o plain_a a_o demonstration_n of_o the_o contrary_a unless_o he_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o what_o be_v account_v a_o warm_a and_o sanguine_a temper_n of_o religion_n there_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v the_o rage_a heat_n of_o a_o malignant_a favour_n here_o four_o as_o concern_v the_o establish_n toleration_n by_o a_o law_n the_o reason_n why_o some_o may_v be_v against_o it_o be_v not_o as_o our_o author_n do_v invidious_o insinuate_v that_o they_o wait_v for_o a_o more_o favourable_a opportunity_n of_o revive_v the_o former_a severity_n but_o that_o they_o may_v still_o have_v it_o in_o their_o power_n to_o show_v their_o tenderness_n to_o their_o dissent_v brethren_n and_o may_v prevent_v or_o repress_v the_o misdemeanour_n that_o some_o nonconformist_n may_v possible_o be_v guilty_a of_o if_o they_o have_v a_o legal_a toleration_n as_o also_o that_o they_o may_v secure_v the_o establish_v religion_n they_o profess_v against_o the_o dangerous_a consequence_n they_o fear_v from_o a_o general_n indulgence_n and_o last_o as_o to_o what_o he_o say_v concern_v his_o majesty_n declaration_n i_o desire_v this_o author_n to_o consider_v more_o serious_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o some_o other_o in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n beside_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n of_o ireland_n to_o who_o one_o great_a end_n of_o his_o majesty_n declaration_n be_v yet_o unaccomplish_v and_o whether_o there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v to_o cover_v the_o protestant_n episcopal_a clergy_n in_o scotland_n from_o persecution_n on_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n by_o all_o which_o it_o may_v plain_o be_v perceive_v that_o it_o be_v not_o by_o force_n of_o the_o author_n argument_n for_o the_o necessity_n or_o reasonableness_n of_o toleration_n but_o pure_o in_o compliance_n to_o the_o importunate_a desire_n of_o our_o dissent_v brethren_n that_o the_o member_n of_o the_o establish_v church_n be_v incline_v to_o grant_v they_o a_o general_n and_o legal_a indulgence_n as_o parent_n do_v often_o humour_v their_o child_n in_o give_v they_o those_o thing_n they_o eager_o desire_v which_o though_o pleasant_a to_o their_o palate_n be_v yet_o many_o time_n prejudicial_a to_o their_o health_n and_o now_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o desire_n of_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n which_o be_v that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o such_o clause_n annex_v to_o this_o bill_n as_o will_v disable_v they_o from_o serve_v their_o king_n and_o their_o country_n which_o in_o plain_a term_n be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o whereas_o the_o ease_n to_o tender_a conscience_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n they_o former_o desire_v they_o now_o claim_v it_o as_o their_o due_n to_o be_v admit_v also_o into_o all_o honourable_a and_o profitable_a employment_n and_o without_o these_o whatever_o ease_n may_v be_v give_v to_o their_o conscience_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v they_o will_v have_v no_o quiet_a in_o their_o mind_n but_o let_v we_o hear_v our_o author_n augument_n for_o grant_v this_o bill_n of_o indulgence_n without_o a_o sacramental_a test_n annex_v first_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o sacrament_n test_n in_o england_n be_v chief_o design_v against_o papist_n but_o it_o be_v also_o plain_a it_o be_v intend_v against_o protestant_a dissenter_n too_o for_o though_o none_o but_o the_o former_a be_v mention_v in_o the_o title_n yet_o the_o latter_a be_v include_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o act_n and_o if_o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o english_a dissenter_n against_o popery_n in_o the_o late_a time_n have_v not_o exempt_v they_o from_o a_o sacramental_a test_n our_o dissent_v brethren_n in_o this_o kingdom_n can_v with_o modesty_n expect_v that_o their_o late_a service_n shall_v entitle_v they_o to_o any_o such_o immunity_n second_o he_o tell_v we_o such_o a_o test_n for_o disable_n protestant_n dissenter_n for_o any_o public_a service_n be_v against_o the_o common_a protestant_a interest_n of_o ireland_n our_o circumstance_n indeed_o vast_o differ_v as_o he_o say_v from_o those_o of_o england_n for_o here_o the_o establish_v church_n be_v more_o in_o danger_n than_o there_o by_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o common_a enemy_n in_o england_n one_o unmixed_a people_n do_v compose_v the_o main_a body_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o continue_v still_o the_o same_o but_o here_o we_o be_v make_v up_o of_o several_a nation_n and_o there_o be_v a_o daily_a accession_n of_o great_a number_n from_o a_o neighbour_a country_n of_o who_o the_o mean_a sort_n be_v general_o of_o a_o different_a communion_n from_o the_o establish_v church_n though_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n to_o their_o great_a praise_n be_v it_o speak_v be_v generaly_a conformist_n it_o be_v possible_a indeed_o as_o he_o observe_v that_o the_o irish_a may_v be_v more_o numerous_a if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o general_n peace_n and_o i_o may_v add_v that_o it_o be_v high_o probable_a that_o the_o papist_n will_v grow_v much_o more_o numerous_a if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o general_n indulgence_n and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o our_o author_n opinion_n we_o can_v think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o give_v the_o protestant_a interest_n a_o wide_a bassis_n here_o than_o it_o have_v in_o holland_n which_o be_v a_o place_n of_o great_a liberty_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n where_o all_o protestant_n be_v not_o equal_o capable_a of_o employment_n without_o religious_a test_n as_o to_o what_o he_o say_v concern_v the_o danger_n of_o a_o future_a rebellion_n we_o hope_v that_o by_o the_o late_a act_n of_o parliament_n make_v against_o the_o papist_n and_o the_o diligence_n of_o the_o magistrate_n in_o put_v they_o in_o execution_n the_o irish_a may_v be_v disable_v for_o any_o new_a insurrection_n or_o if_o we_o shall_v fall_v into_o the_o same_o unhappy_a circumstance_n that_o we_o have_v be_v late_o in_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v notwithstanding_o the_o author_n disadvantageous_a representation_n of_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o dissenter_n wherein_o he_o intimate_v that_o the_o exclude_v they_o from_o public_a office_n will_v incline_v they_o in_o future_a danger_n to_o desert_n the_o public_a service_n the_o foreboding_a of_o which_o seem_v equivalent_a to_o a_o advice_n to_o they_o and_o a_o menace_n to_o we_o notwithstanding_o this_o i_o say_v we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o common_a safety_n and_o their_o gratitude_n for_o their_o indulgence_n which_o they_o now_o expect_v will_v engage_v they_o to_o show_v a_o equal_a zeal_n to_o what_o they_o do_v before_o though_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v whole_o on_o equal_a term_n with_o we_o since_o they_o can_v not_o reasonable_o hope_v for_o so_o kind_a a_o treatment_n from_o the_o papist_n as_o they_o have_v have_v from_o we_o three_o to_o what_o the_o author_n say_v to_o prove_v that_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v agreeable_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n that_o any_o such_o test_n shall_v be_v impose_v here_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o the_o substitute_v the_o new_a oath_n and_o the_o declaration_n or_o test_n against_o popery_n instead_o of_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n do_v not_o repeal_v the_o statute_n that_o enjoin_v the_o sacrament_n test_n in_o england_n so_o neither_o can_v it_o with_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o reason_n be_v allege_v that_o the_o english_a act_n for_o the_o abrogate_a the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n in_o ireland_n etc._n etc._n aught_o to_o be_v construe_v as_o
