it_o be_v by_o deceitful_a weight_n and_o measure_n the_o first_o device_n be_v to_o pretend_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n appropriate_v to_o themselves_o alone_o the_o principle_n of_o true_a loyalty_n and_o that_o no_o other_o church_n or_o communion_n on_o earth_n can_v be_v consistent_a with_o monarchy_n or_o indeed_o with_o any_o government_n this_o be_v a_o presumption_n of_o so_o high_a a_o nature_n that_o it_o render_v the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o despicable_a enemy_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v here_o represent_v by_o that_o which_o be_v the_o true_a character_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o have_v all_o along_o be_v a_o know_a engrosser_n which_o pretend_v to_o have_v all_o

the_o church_n of_o england_n allow_v not_o only_o that_o all_o protestant_n have_v true_a faith_n and_o true_a loyalty_n as_o well_o as_o she_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o loyalty_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o harmony_n of_o their_o confession_n but_o also_o that_o pagan_n be_v capable_a of_o moral_a virtue_n such_o as_o loyalty_n be_v and_o have_v heretofore_o be_v great_a example_n of_o it_o many_o of_o they_o have_v look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o not_o bear_v for_o themselves_o but_o for_o their_o country_n and_o be_v strict_a observer_n of_o the_o law_n and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o socrates_n in_o particular_a have_v that_o reverence_n for_o the_o law_n that_o though_o he_o be_v put_v upon_o it_o by_o his_o friend_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o break_v they_o to_o

to_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o this_o author_n in_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n averr_v that_o no_o other_o sect_n or_o community_n on_o earth_n from_o the_o rise_n to_o the_o set_v
