be_v it_o that_o make_v it_o so_o difficult_a to_o extirpate_v those_o faction_n that_o be_v build_v upon_o that_o pretence_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o uphold_v popery_n in_o england_n

they_o dare_v and_o have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o this_o there_o have_v be_v very_o few_o papist_n leave_v at_o that_o queen_n death_n who_o reign_v 44_o year_n though_o king_n james_n be_v infinite_o

neither_o be_v they_o careful_o execute_v in_o his_o or_o his_o son_n time_n yet_o this_o faction_n sensible_o decrease_v and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o those_o that_o remain_v be_v ruin_v by_o the_o

elizabeth_n method_n be_v well_o pursue_v by_o all_o her_o successor_n they_o must_v in_o likelihood_n have_v be_v extinguish_v but_o there_o be_v a_o odd_a sort_n of_o policy_n take_v up_o which_o be_v to_o slacken_v the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n against_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v a_o counterbalance_n to_o the_o puritan_n faction_n which_o produce_v two_o great_a evil_n first_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o lend_v we_o any_o assistance_n against_o the_o dissenter_n that_o their_o priest_n increase_v the_o number_n of_o they_o by_o preach_v up_o their_o opinion_n and_o add_v to_o they_o as_o appear_v by_o a_o small_a pamphlet_n call_v fox_n and_o firebrand_n which_o prove_v they_o be_v the_o father_n of_o extemporary_a prayer_n in_o public_a assembly_n and_o by_o several_a other_o such_o stratagem_n which_o they_o employ_v against_o we_o second_o these_o dissenter_n make_v it_o their_o great_a business_n to_o inculcate_v into_o the_o head_n of_o the_o rabble_n a_o opinion_n that_o all_o the_o lenity_n that_o be_v use_v towards_o the_o papist_n proceed_v from_o a_o love_n to_o popery_n which_o both_o make_v more_o puritan_n than_o there_o will_v otherwise_o have_v be_v and_o make_v they_o better_a thought_n of_o by_o the_o rabble_n so_o that_o instead_o of_o diminish_v or_o weaken_v that_o faction_n it_o increase_v it_o and_o add_v reputation_n to_o it_o and_o the_o papist_n make_v the_o same_o use_n of_o it_o and_o draw_v over_o some_o weak_a and_o unsteady_a soul_n to_o join_v with_o they_o so_o that_o our_o enemy_n increase_v on_o both_o side_n but_o especial_o the_o dissenter_n and_o this_o be_v all_o we_o ever_o do_v or_o can_v get_v by_o that_o extravagant_a piece_n of_o policy_n beside_o all_o this_o the_o people_n will_v ever_o entertain_v jealous_a thought_n and_o be_v discontent_v at_o all_o those_o that_o ever_o so_o little_a favour_n the_o papist_n and_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o number_n of_o they_o among_o we_o beside_o all_o the_o disquiet_n they_o give_v we_o the_o factious_a dissenter_n will_v take_v hold_n of_o that_o pretence_n to_o do_v we_o a_o mischief_n as_o time_n and_o opportunity_n serve_v so_o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v the_o interest_n and_o duty_n of_o all_o magistrate_n to_o put_v the_o law_n against_o they_o constant_o and_o vigorous_o in_o execution_n and_o especial_o those_o

for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o since_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n there_o be_v not_o one_o to_o be_v find_v in_o which_o perjury_n and_o disregard_n of_o the_o obligation_n of_o all_o oath_n
