roman_n catholic_n church_n what_o honour_n therefore_o profit_n or_o proselit_n can_v accrue_v to_o the_o protestant_n by_o so_o much_o honour_v and_o contenance_v our_o poor_a apostate_n make_v their_o chief_a apostle_n none_o but_o rather_o great_a dishonour_n and_o shame_n for_o how_o can_v any_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n believe_v that_o such_o vile_a runagate_n who_o prove_v faithless_a and_o perfidious_a to_o the_o live_a god_n religion_n conscience_n and_o consecrate_a vow_n â—an_v prove_v at_o all_o true_a real_a and_o faithful_a to_o a_o new-fangled_a groundless_a and_o

arrian_n king_n who_o for_o to_o insinuate_v himself_o into_o more_o favour_n with_o the_o king_n become_v a_o arrian_n which_o when_o the_o king_n understand_v immediate_o command_v he_o shall_v be_v

read_v in_o hister_n tripar_fw-la lib._n 1._o c._n 7._o how_o constantius_n a_o gentile_a father_n to_o constantinus_n magnus_n use_v a_o strange_a stratagem_n for_o to_o discover_v who_o among_o the_o christian_n in_o his_o court_n be_v his_o faithful_a friend_n from_o those_o that_o be_v not_o he_o feign_v to_o set_v up_o the_o worship_n of_o false_a god_n and_o to_o banish_v from_o his_o court_n and_o service_n all_o such_o that_o will_v not_o abjure_v christian_a religion_n and_o embrace_v the_o establish_a by_o he_o in_o his_o kingdom_n upon_o publication_n whereof_o many_o revolt_a from_o christian_a religion_n for_o to_o enjoy_v the_o king_n favour_n many_o continue_a constant_a to_o their_o principle_n whereupon_o the_o king_n remove_v from_o his_o court_n and_o favour_v all_o who_o prove_v unconstant_a and_o faithless_a to_o their_o religion_n not_o dare_v in_o his_o prudence_n to_o trust_v those_o who_o be_v find_v perfidious_a to_o the_o live_a god_n but_o those_o who_o stand_v steadfast_a to_o their_o faith_n and_o conscience_n he_o embrace_v and_o employ_v in_o place_n of_o trust_n and_o honour_n hence_o it_o do_v follow_v that_o it_o be_v folly_n to_o expect_v that_o andrew_n can_v be_v true_a real_a or_o faithful_a to_o sectary_n that_o be_v not_o constant_a to_o god_n true_a service_n neither_o can_v he_o be_v instrumental_a to_o draw_v many_o proselyte_n after_o he_o in_o ireland_n from_o the_o roman-catholic_n who_o be_v brave_a resolute_a clear-sighted_a christian_n most_o zealous_a of_o their_o ancient_a religion_n for_o which_o and_o for_o not_o go_v to_o the_o protestant_a church_n against_o their_o conscience_n they_o will_v not_o suffer_v imprisonment_n &_o forfeiture_n of_o estate_n if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v absolute_o certain_a that_o all_o the_o mystery_n and_o tenant_n of_o their_o ancient_a faith_n be_v pure_o reveal_v by_o god_n and_o faithful_o hand_v to_o they_o by_o their_o glorious_a and_o miraculous_a patron_n and_o apostle_n s._n patrick_n and_o so_o they_o choose_v undaunted_o rather_o to_o suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o all_o their_o mean_n and_o brave_a estate_n etc._n etc._n then_o make_v in_o the_o least_o shipwreck_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o they_o be_v not_o ignorant_a how_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o truth_n perfection_n or_o goodness_n in_o the_o protestant_n sect_n that_o move_v sall_n to_o revolt_v to_o it_o neither_o for_o love_n of_o more_o virtue_n or_o more_o sanctity_n he_o desert_v his_o true_a ancient_a mother_n but_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o for_o to_o enjoy_v more_o liberty_n indulgence_n more_o pleasure_n more_o money_n more_o content_a and_o plausibility_n among_o protestant_n occasion_v his_o dismal_a separation_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v not_o if_o he_o can_v perish_v alone_o he_o will_v furious_o endeavour_v to_o gain_v proselyte_n and_o will_v out_o of_o ambition_n pride_n and_o malice_n envenom_v other_o though_o i_o be_o confident_a he_o will_v catch_v none_o but_o novice_n only_o in_o both_o divine_a and_o humane_a learning_n and_o such_o as_o be_v unsettle_a in_o religion_n and_o wild_a hair-braind_a loose_a liver_n and_o idle_a
