these_o be_v the_o penal_a law_n in_o scotland_n against_o the_o presbyterian_o make_v by_o divers_a free_a parliament_n against_o their_o sinful_a separation_n from_o the_o church_n to_o frequent_a

save_v their_o money_n notwithstanding_o all_o their_o pretend_a scruple_n of_o conscience_n wherefore_o unless_o we_o derogate_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o king_n and_o parliament_n justify_v rebellion_n and_o prefer_v private_a humour_n to_o public_a peace_n the_o impartial_a resolution_n of_o the_o present_a question_n be_v this_o that_o the_o penal_a law_n against_o the_o scotch_a presbyterian_o have_v nothing_o of_o persecution_n in_o they_o question_n vi_o whether_o the_o episcopal_a clergy_n in_o scotland_n from_o the_o year_n 1662._o to_o the_o year_n 1686_o show_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o persecution_n against_o presbyterian_o 1._o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v please_v to_o say_v they_o be_v dragoon_v by_o the_o bishop_n and_o episcopal_a clergy_n allude_v to_o that_o way_n of_o conversion_n in_o france_n which_o indeed_o be_v procure_v by_o a_o address_n of_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o clergy_n of_o that_o kingdom_n yet_o this_o be_v a_o palpable_a injustice_n and_o calumny_n for_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o all_o these_o twenty_o four_o year_n never_o produce_v one_o address_n of_o the_o presbyterial_a diocesan_n provincial_a or_o national_a assembly_n of_o the_o establish_v church_n of_o scotland_n either_o beseech_v the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n or_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o privy_a council_n to_o make_v or_o execute_v law_n against_o protestant_a dissenter_n wherefore_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o passionate_a exhortation_n in_o private_a and_o the_o public_a sermon_n in_o the_o church_n concern_v the_o guiltiness_n of_o schism_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o union_n among_o protestant_n against_o their_o common_a adversary_n the_o inferior_a clergy_n there_o can_v be_v possible_o charge_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o persecution_n against_o presbyterian_o nay_o upon_o the_o contrary_a our_o clergy_n be_v so_o averse_a from_o give_v obedience_n to_o the_o act_n that_o enjoin_v they_o to_o present_v write_v list_n of_o the_o dissenter_n in_o their_o respective_a parish_n and_o so_o very_o inflexible_a to_o the_o public_a order_n for_o their_o judicial_a inform_v upon_o oath_n against_o separatist_n that_o the_o judge_n competent_a and_o officer_n of_o state_n chide_v they_o in_o public_a for_o disaffection_n to_o the_o royal_a government_n so_o that_o under_o that_o imputation_n they_o have_v nothing_o but_o their_o innocency_n to_o support_v they_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n and_o charity_n to_o their_o swear_a enemy_n 2._o again_o it_o be_v a_o great_a injustice_n to_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a the_o bishop_n to_o charge_v any_o of_o they_o as_o have_v be_v the_o first_o mover_n of_o those_o penal_a law_n against_o separation_n but_o since_o the_o repeat_v rebellion_n of_o forty_o year_n past_a convince_v all_o mankind_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o those_o law_n for_o the_o security_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o peace_n of_o
