their_o civil_a liberty_n and_o property_n his_o majesty_n have_v observe_v the_o doleful_a effect_n of_o persecution_n for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o the_o mischief_n of_o penal_a law_n for_o mere_a religion_n and_o find_v no_o way_n so_o likely_a to_o establish_v a_o universal_a peace_n and_o tranquillity_n among_o his_o subject_n as_o the_o take_n off_o all_o penal_a law_n for_o religion_n but_o there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o nation_n i_o mean_v some_o of_o the_o english_a clergy_n who_o think_v they_o can_v live_v no_o long_o than_o they_o have_v leave_v to_o persecute_v other_o and_o they_o insinuate_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n all_o that_o be_v bad_a of_o his_o majesty_n and_o make_v dismal_a outcry_n as_o if_o persecution_n be_v the_o only_a bulwark_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o that_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n to_o their_o own_o hurt_n may_v be_v ensnare_v to_o a_o agreement_n with_o they_o in_o this_o point_n they_o tell_v they_o take_v off_o the_o test_n and_o popery_n will_v break_v in_o as_o a_o flood_n and_o although_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v more_o easy_o destroy_v the_o protestant_a dissenter_n in_o one_o year_n and_o probable_o will_v if_o ever_o a_o church-of_a england_n successor_n enter_v the_o throne_n before_o the_o penal_a law_n be_v vacate_v than_o the_o papist_n can_v in_o twenty_o year_n yet_o this_o noise_n of_o a_o popish_a persecution_n be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o frighten_v the_o dissenter_n into_o so_o fatal_a a_o infatuation_n as_o to_o be_v content_a with_o the_o bear_n on_o of_o a_o certain_a and_o grievously-complained_a of_o burden_n for_o fear_v of_o one_o uncertain_a and_o improbable_a and_o if_o this_o can_v be_v help_v so_o that_o neither_o the_o church_n of_o england_n man_n nor_o protestant_a dissenter_n will_v exercise_v any_o patience_n in_o give_v the_o king_n credit_n when_o he_o express_v the_o sense_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o his_o desire_n of_o such_o a_o parliament_n and_o such_o a_o expedient_a that_o may_v answer_v the_o great_a end_n both_o of_o himself_o and_o all_o good_a subject_n if_o mere_o i_o say_v to_o escape_v a_o fancy_v danger_n our_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n will_v be_v resolute_a in_o their_o adherence_n to_o the_o penal_a law_n and_o test_n and_o will_v not_o attend_v to_o any_o offer_v to_o be_v make_v for_o a_o accommodation_n unless_o such_o a_o one_o of_o this_o gentleman_n as_o perhaps_o can_v be_v grant_v i_o will_v humble_o propose_v to_o their_o consideration_n what_o have_v be_v the_o fatal_a mischief_n of_o such_o a_o prevail_a obstinacy_n among_o the_o subject_n with_o regard_n to_o our_o two_o late_a king_n charles_n the_o first_o and_z charles_n the_o second_o and_o do_v pray_v almighty_a god_n to_o prevent_v the_o like_a among_o we_o who_o be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o so_o excellent_a a_o prince_n it_o can_v be_v yet_o forget_v that_o in_o charles_n the_o first_o be_v reign_v after_o a_o cruel_a bloody-civil_a war_n proposition_n be_v send_v the_o king_n to_o which_o his_o majesty_n of_o bless_a memory_n give_v a_o answer_n so_o full_a as_o can_v not_o but_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o most_o unreasonable_a man_n of_o the_o parliament_n party_n yet_o those_o who_o design_v the_o death_n of_o that_o great_a prince_n blow_v off_o all_o with_o this_o reply_n it_o be_v true_a the_o king_n have_v grant_v all_o we_o can_v desire_v but_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v settle_v again_o in_o the_o government_n he_o will_v recall_v all_o and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v grant_v will_v be_v to_o little_a purpose_n and_o thus_o they_o break_v off_o all_o treaty_n and_o bring_v the_o king_n to_o the_o block_n and_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n into_o confusion_n but_o because_o many_o be_v yet_o alive_a who_o have_v drink_v deep_a of_o the_o misery_n our_o noble_n and_o gentry_n be_v then_o expose_v unto_o i_o need_v not_o stay_v on_o a_o particular_a rehearsal_n of_o these_o thing_n again_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o his_o late_a majesty_n there_o be_v a_o party_n most_o resolute_a in_o their_o adherence_n to_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n which_o the_o late_a king_n see_v cause_n to_o be_v as_o firm_o against_o but_o to_o prevent_v their_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n he_o will_v grant_v they_o any_o thing_n they_o shall_v present_v unto_o he_o for_o the_o secure_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o the_o ease_v the_o protestant_a dissenter_n and_o what_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o adherence_n unto_o that_o bill_n but_o ruin_n to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n for_o from_o this_o bill_n all_o the_o confusion_n conspiracy_n and_o rebellion_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o thousand_o in_o the_o nation_n have_v their_o rise_n his_o present_a majesty_n see_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o be_v for_o the_o take_n off_o all_o the_o penal_a law_n and_o so_o the_o very_a test_n themselves_o and_o i_o can_v but_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o nobility_n and_o wise_a man_n of_o the_o nation_n will_v therefore_o weigh_v the_o matter_n in_o all_o its_o circumstance_n and_o learn_v from_o the_o two_o last_o reign_n not_o to_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o obstinate_a opposition_n to_o his_o majesty_n but_o consider_v his_o majesty_n give_v we_o the_o strong_a assurance_n to_o settle_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n on_o a_o rock_n that_o can_v be_v shake_v that_o so_o not_o papist_n nor_o church_n of_o england_n nor_o any_o other_o may_v persecute_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n for_o their_o conscience_n will_v wise_o consult_v on_o a_o expedient_a that_o may_v compass_v so_o noble_a a_o design_n of_o good_a to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o full_o demonstrate_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o argument_n in_o the_o objection_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o groundless_a jealousy_n and_o ill-design_n in_o those_o that_o stick_v so_o very_a much_o on_o it_o for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o truth_n in_o the_o king_n and_o prudence_n in_o the_o nation_n there_o can_v be_v nothing_o in_o all_o this_o noise_n and_o because_o his_o majesty_n be_v know_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o be_v most_o resolve_v in_o keep_v his_o word_n and_o the_o noble_n and_o gentry_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v renown_v for_o their_o wisdom_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o our_o jealousy_n do_v cease_v sure_o the_o gentleman_n that_o have_v send_v i_o the_o objection_n can_v but_o reflect_v on_o it_o who_o have_v compare_v the_o case_n of_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n to_o the_o leper_n of_o
