the_o learning_n of_o the_o jesuit_n their_o strength_n have_v of_o late_o be_v try_v to_o their_o irreparable_a shame_n if_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o any_o and_o as_o much_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o learned_a divine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n their_o converting-book_n and_o pamphlet_n have_v be_v so_o weak_a and_o the_o answer_n to_o they_o so_o strong_a and_o so_o many_o that_o they_o be_v not_o like_a to_o prevail_v much_o that_o way_n neither_o if_o english_a protestant_n will_v but_o bear_v with_o one_o another_o and_o not_o seek_v revenge_n which_o the_o juncture_n of_o time_n do_v dissuade_v from_o as_o unseasonable_a as_o well_o as_o our_o common_a christianity_n do_v forbid_v as_o unlawful_a which_o will_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v seven_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a that_o the_o lead_a man_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n shall_v hereafter_o commit_v the_o same_o error_n again_o to_o molest_v and_o persecute_v their_o brethren_n for_o the_o difference_n between_o we_o and_o they_o all_o the_o world_n now_o see_v at_o what_o door_n a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o severity_n against_o protestant_a dissenter_n ought_v to_o be_v lay_v so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o other_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v let_v they_o see_v it_o and_o give_v they_o repentance_n and_o there_o be_v very_o many_o parish_n minister_n in_o england_n who_o be_v pious_a and_o peaceable_a who_o preach_v and_o live_v holy_o and_o never_o do_v consent_n to_o the_o persecution_n of_o their_o brethren_n but_o endeavour_v to_o hinder_v it_o i_o only_o wish_v they_o have_v be_v more_o if_o it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v by_o consequence_n partaker_n of_o such_o a_o guilt_n it_o have_v be_v and_o must_v again_o be_v reply_v that_o if_o

fault_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o some_o shall_v not_o make_v we_o injurious_a to_o other_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v no_o faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n in_o

the_o spirit_n of_o persecution_n have_v say_v many_o thing_n to_o this_o purpose_n it_o will_v be_v good_a news_n to_o hear_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o brethren_n be_v of_o his_o mind_n that_o all_o prot._n dissenter_n may_v believe_v that_o the_o wise_a and_o most_o lead_a man_n of_o that_o church_n do_v see_v their_o error_n their_o sin_n too_o may_v be_v add_v if_o it_o be_v a_o essential_a right_n of_o humane_a nature_n as_o dr._n b._n say_v for_o every_o man_n to_o worship_n god_n according_a to_o his_o conviction_n and_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o hope_n that_o they_o will_v not_o again_o use_v severity_n to_o their_o brethren_n if_o it_o shall_v ever_o be_v in_o their_o power_n but_o come_v to_o a_o temper_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o conformity_n as_o the_o seven_o bishop_n have_v under_o their_o hand_n declare_v their_o disposition_n to_o do_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n one_o of_o the_o article_n which_o the_o a._n bishop_n of_o cantcrbury_n have_v recommend_v to_o the_o bishop_n under_o his_o jurisdiction_n be_v a_o tender_a regard_n to_o their_o brethren_n the_o protestant_a dissenter_n at_o the_o same_o time_n assure_v we_o and_o all_o the_o

those_o thing_n for_o which_o they_o be_v hate_v and_o strike_v at_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o such_o doctrine_n or_o mode_n of_o worship_n wherein_o we_o differ_v from_o they_o but_o it_o be_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o thing_n wherein_o we_o agree_v with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o therefore_o in_o prudence_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o espouse_v their_o cause_n as_o our_o own_o the_o reader_n may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v relate_v to_o the_o union_n of_o protestant_n among_o themselves_o who_o though_o of_o different_a persuasion_n
