tremble_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n shall_v be_v use_v only_o as_o a_o politic_a tool_n to_o capacitate_v man_n to_o be_v potent_a villain_n

next_o sunday_n at_o the_o very_a sight_n of_o a_o surplice_n sir_n if_o you_o think_v i_o somewhat_o sharp_a i_o must_v desire_v your_o excuse_n because_o nothing_o be_v more_o hateful_a to_o i_o than_o a_o conscience_n that_o be_v tender_a in_o part_n only_o a_o conscience_n that_o be_v much_o like_o a_o animal_n in_o your_o garden_n which_o you_o call_v a_o tortoise_n a_o creature_n that_o be_v so_o very_o nice_a and_o tender_a in_o some_o part_n that_o it_o shrink_v up_o itself_o present_o if_o you_o touch_v it_o with_o a_o straw_n but_o yet_o be_v wrap_v up_o in_o such_o a_o deadly_a hard_a crusty_a shell_n that_o you_o may_v drive_v horse_n and_o cart_n over_o it_o and_o not_o hurt_v it_o and_o real_o sir_n as_o i_o be_v consider_v with_o myself_o how_o mighty_a shy_a and_o

call_v a_o tender_a a_o true-protestant_n and_o a_o ignoramus-conscience_n you_o need_v not_o wonder_v at_o all_o this_o since_o as_o i_o say_v they_o have_v graft_v the_o crab_n upon_o the_o apple_n i_o mean_v the_o jesuit_n upon_o the_o protestant_n for_o no_o good_a can_v ever_o be_v expect_v where_o dolemans_n principle_n be_v suck_v in_o but_o you_o may_v see_v how_o base_o partial_a these_o

call_v a_o papist_n or_o let_v he_o be_v for_o subjection_n to_o a_o lawful_a prince_n and_o when_o time_n serve_v for_o passive_a obedience_n and_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n with_o a_o witness_n but_o let_v these_o man_n profess_v the_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o jesuit_n let_v they_o lie_v and_o equivocate_v like_o the_o jesuit_n let_v they_o violate_v oath_n or_o construe_v they_o in_o
