be_v under_o god_n to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o happy_a influence_n of_o the_o many_o excellent_a discourse_n write_v against_o the_o papist_n by_o the_o episcopal_a glergy_n in_o the_o late_a

be_v very_o little_o engage_v in_o the_o action_n and_o unless_o the_o wall_n of_o rome_n like_o those_o of_o jericho_n fall_v by_o the_o noise_n of_o the_o trumpet_n and_o not_o by_o the_o force_n of_o the_o assault_n they_o will_v have_v no_o considerable_a share_n in_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o conquest_n but_o if_o the_o most_o effectual_a way_n of_o apprehend_v or_o root_n out_o the_o

best_a weapon_n for_o this_o part_n of_o spiritual_a warfare_n and_o since_o the_o write_n of_o the_o conform_v clergy_n have_v be_v of_o late_a so_o eminent_o serviceable_a in_o preserve_v the_o main_a body_n of_o the_o protestant_n in_o these_o kingdom_n from_o lapse_v into_o popery_n the_o vindicator_n have_v no_o occasion_n to_o upbraid_v we_o with_o our_o unsuccessfulness_n in_o draw_v over_o dissenter_n to_o our_o communion_n for_o though_o our_o endeavour_n in_o this_o pious_a and_o charitable_a undertake_n be_v not_o so_o uneffectual_a as_o he_o suggest_v yet_o the_o reason_n why_o no_o great_a number_n of_o nonconformist_n have_v of_o late_o be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o establish_v church_n be_v main_o to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o unwearied_a labour_n of_o the_o dissent_v preacher_n in_o raise_v unreasonable_a prejudices_fw-la and_o in_o fix_v a_o invincible_a aversion_n in_o their_o hearer_n to_o our_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n and_o constitution_n for_o though_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o great_a promoter_n of_o edification_n yet_o it_o be_v undoubted_o true_a that_o they_o have_v make_v it_o no_o small_a part_n of_o their_o business_n to_o widen_v those_o breach_n in_o god_n church_n which_o they_o shall_v zealous_o have_v endeavour_v to_o close_a but_o though_o the_o nonconform_a preacher_n have_v be_v the_o chief_a yet_o not_o the_o only_a fomenter_n of_o the_o division_n among_o the_o protestant_n in_o these_o nation_n which_o be_v indeed_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n imputable_a to_o the_o prodigious_a licentiousness_n and_o the_o uneven_a management_n of_o affair_n in_o a_o late_a reign_n the_o dissenter_n have_v perhaps_o just_a occasion_n at_o some_o time_n to_o despise_v the_o government_n for_o its_o too_o easy_a condescension_n and_o at_o other_o time_n to_o abhor_v its_o rigour_n in_o too_o severe_a a_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n against_o they_o whereas_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n behaviour_n to_o his_o people_n shall_v resemble_v that_o of_o discreet_o tender_a parent_n to_o their_o child_n not_o indulge_v their_o folly_n by_o a_o imprudent_a fondness_n nor_o punish_v their_o fault_n by_o too_o harsh_a a_o correction_n but_o by_o constant_o keep_v a_o strict_a hand_n over_o they_o which_o will_v prove_v the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n of_o prevent_v or_o restrain_v their_o exorbitancy_n and_o true_o the_o present_a state_n in_o this_o kingdom_n do_v seem_v in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n to_o require_v the_o watchful_a eye_n of_o the_o government_n in_o observe_v and_o a_o prudent_o strict_a hand_n in_o manage_v the_o public_a affair_n for_o though_o the_o vindicator_n tell_v we_o that_o this_o present_a toleration_n can_v tempt_v none_o to_o leave_n scotland_n yet_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o have_v not_o hinder_v many_o thousand_o family_n from_o come_v thence_o and_o settle_v in_o this_o nation_n within_o these_o five_o year_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o dissent_v minister_n among_o they_o be_v all_o zealous_a for_o the_o covenant_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n except_v some_o few_o highlander_n be_v of_o the_o same_o persuasion_n with_o those_o teacher_n and_o all_o of_o they_o be_v late_o come_v from_o a_o kingdom_n where_o episcopacy_n be_v abolish_v and_o presbytery_n establish_v and_o have_v solemn_o swear_v to_o exterpate_v prelacy_n and_o their_o aversion_n to_o our_o ecclesiastical_a polity_n be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o their_o nature_n and_o their_o obligation_n to_o destroy_v it_o so_o strong_o enforce_v upon_o their_o conscience_n there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o fear_v that_o when_o their_o power_n and_o number_n be_v increase_v they_o will_v employ_v their_o utmost_a strength_n and_o most_o vigorous_a endeavour_n to_o overturn_v now_o their_o hand_n be_v in_o this_o true_o apostolical_a government_n of_o the_o establish_v church_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v adviseable_a that_o we_o shall_v deal_v with_o their_o preacher_n at_o their_o first_o come_v over_o as_o it_o be_v usual_o do_v with_o those_o that_o come_v from_o a_o country_n infest_a with_o the_o plague_n they_o shall_v all_o be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v their_o quarentine_n and_o undergo_v some_o religious_a test_n and_o probation_n before_o they_o be_v public_o allow_v to_o preach_v in_o their_o conventicle_n neither_o may_v the_o civil_a government_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v less_o reasonable_o alarm_v with_o its_o danger_n from_o the_o cameronian_n who_o be_v late_o land_a here_o and_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o be_v not_o so_o inconsiderable_a in_o their_o number_n as_o the_o vindicator_n re-presents_a they_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o he_o can_v hear_v of_o few_o or_o none_o leave_v in_o this_o kingdom_n by_o which_o i_o perceive_v he_o be_v as_o great_a a_o stranger_n to_o the_o state_n of_o this_o part_n of_o ireland_n as_o he_o imagine_v i_o to_o be_v to_o the_o public_a affair_n of_o scotland_n but_o the_o next_o mistake_n or_o rather_o

extirpate_v the_o protestant_a dissenter_n be_v declare_v in_o the_o many_o sanguinary_a law_n pass_v against_o they_o both_o in_o england_n and_o scotland_n and_o that_o there_o be_v late_a one_o in_o scotland_n that_o make_v it_o capital_a to_o be_v present_a at_o their_o meeting_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o any_o so_o i_o be_o inform_v by_o some_o that_o have_v reason_n to_o know_v this_o matter_n better_a than_o the_o vindicator_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o sanguinary_a law_n in_o england_n against_o protestant_a dissenter_n and_o touch_v
