a_o know_a bastard_n raise_v this_o church_n again_o to_o support_v the_o weakness_n of_o her_o title_n and_o no_o soon_o be_v this_o church_n under_o her_o re-establish_v than_o those_o cannibal_n

occasion_n of_o that_o war_n and_o she_o now_o refuse_v to_o repeal_v the_o test_n and_o penal_a law_n that_o the_o king_n will_v no_o long_o trust_v she_o and_o that_o she_o shall_v learn_v

herself_o more_o loyal_a than_o the_o romanist_n who_o rob_v the_o king_n of_o that_o part_n of_o his_o prerogative_n that_o after_o ed._n 6._o death_n the_o kingdom_n be_v divide_v about_o the_o

not_o lawful_a heir_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v no_o disloyalty_n in_o execute_v she_o for_o treason_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o england_n ambition_n from_o whence_o that_o

his_o country_n have_v use_v mean_n to_o allay_v his_o majesty_n tell_v we_o we_o be_v loyal_a and_o assure_v we_o of_o his_o protection_n the_o test_n tell_v we_o we_o be_v snake_n in_o his_o bosom_n and_o the_o king_n will_v not_o protect_v we_o for_o my_o part_n let_v this_o fellow_n stare_v and_o brazen_a as_o he_o please_v i_o shall_v believe_v the_o king_n whatever_o he_o will_v have_v we_o think_v of_o he_o when_o so_o heavy_a a_o charge_n be_v lay_v upon_o our_o church_n i_o think_v in_o reason_n the_o author_n shall_v have_v show_v the_o world_n what_o convocation_n or_o at_o lest_o what_o private_a doctor_n of_o our_o communion_n ever_o acknowledge_v it_o as_o a_o principle_n of_o our_o church_n that_o disobedience_n to_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n be_v upon_o any_o score_n whatsoever_o allowable_a that_o be_v that_o we_o may_v refuse_v both_o active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n for_o else_o admit_v he_o can_v instance_n that_o some_o of_o our_o communion_n have_v act_v

principle_n of_o our_o church_n what_o be_v more_o common_a than_o to_o see_v a_o romanist_n drink_v upon_o a_o fast_a day_n but_o unless_o i_o hear_v they_o justify_v the_o thing_n as_o allowable_a shall_v i_o reason_n from_o their_o bare_a practice_n that_o their_o church_n allow_v debauchery_n upon_o those_o day_n she_o have_v point_v out_o for_o mortification_n wherefore_o the_o test_n absolute_a silence_n herein_o demonstrate_v either_o that_o he_o be_v a_o great_a dunce_n at_o argument_n or_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v find_v in_o our_o principle_n no_o not_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o any_o single_a doctor_n and_o of_o this_o defect_n the_o replyer_n take_v no_o notice_n the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n say_v the_o test_n be_v faithful_a to_o charles_n i._o but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n their_o ambition_n to_o force_v uniformity_n etc._n etc._n be_v cause_n of_o the_o ensue_a war._n he_o mean_v if_o to_o the_o purpose_n that_o a_o ambition_n to_o force_v a_o uniformity_n in_o religion_n be_v disloyalty_n which_o be_v a_o most_o admirable_a discovery_n especial_o since_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v so_o easy_o clear_v herself_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o that_o ambition_n if_o what_o he_o allege_v be_v true_a his_o reprehension_n be_v just_a like_o a_o old_a drunkard_n in_o a_o drunken_a fit_a rail_n against_o drunkenness_n but_o the_o replyer_n have_v show_v he_o a_o more_o probable_a and_o natural_a cause_n of_o that_o war_n and_o have_v well_o refer_v to_o that_o book_n of_o fox_n and_o

for_o in_o exclude_v one_o we_o exclude_v both_o and_o if_o we_o think_v we_o have_v power_n to_o pull_v down_o and_o put_v up_o as_o the_o pope_n assume_v why_o do_v we_o not_o as_o well_o put_v up_o
