age_n will_v hardly_o believe_v what_o we_o see_v with_o our_o own_o eye_n these_o gentleman_n will_v fain_o persuade_v the_o world_n that_o the_o persecution_n in_o france_n have_v not_o be_v so_o violent_a as_o we_o have_v be_v inform_v and_o that_o the_o french_a king_n have_v now_o change_v his_o mind_n and_o be_v become_v another_o man_n but_o what_o can_v be_v more_o idle_a ridiculous_a and_o impertinent_a than_o this_o stuff_n of_o they_o will_v they_o with_o a_o brazen_a brow_n give_v the_o lie_n to_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o witness_n and_o to_o our_o own_o eye_n too_o but_o what_o new_a varnish_n can_v they_o find_v to_o put_v upon_o this_o last_o persecution_n true_o if_o the_o french_a king_n have_v now_o change_v his_o mind_n he_o must_v have_v be_v exceed_v violent_a indeed_o since_o the_o very_a dregs_o of_o his_o fury_n be_v still_o so_o terrible_a for_o what_o more_o cruel_a can_v be_v imagine_v than_o to_o put_v a_o gentleman_n to_o a_o vile_a and_o infamous_a death_n to_o send_v so_o many_o other_o to_o the_o galley_n and_o to_o condemn_v other_o to_o shameful_a punishment_n upon_o the_o bare_a pretence_n that_o they_o have_v meet_v together_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n notwithstanding_o his_o prohibition_n if_o so_o hard_a treatment_n may_v not_o be_v call_v a_o persecution_n i_o do_v not_o know_v then_o what_o may_v deserve_v that_o name_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o this_o be_v meekness_n and_o gentleness_n i_o can_v imagine_v what_o that_o be_v which_o we_o call_v inhumanity_n i_o will_v beg_v leave_n to_o ask_v our_o murmurer_n only_o two_o question_n 1._o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o a_o tyrant_n who_o have_v so_o cruel_o persecute_v the_o protestant_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n who_o have_v pull_v down_o so_o many_o of_o their_o church_n put_v to_o death_n so_o many_o man_n upon_o account_n of_o religion_n only_o who_o further_o yet_o boast_n that_o he_o himself_o have_v almost_o root_v out_o the_o heresy_n and_o who_o still_o continue_v his_o rage_n and_o fury_n against_o all_o the_o protestant_n that_o be_v find_v in_o his_o dominion_n i_o say_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o such_o a_o man_n can_v ever_o be_v the_o protector_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o our_o grumble_a crew_n call_v he_o perhaps_o they_o will_v answer_v that_o the_o french_a hugonot_n have_v not_o be_v use_v with_o so_o much_o severity_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o religion_n mere_o but_o because_o the_o french_a king_n find_v they_o dangerous_a to_o his_o grandeur_n and_o his_o state_n have_v strong_a suspicion_n of_o their_o fidelity_n but_o let_v they_o prove_v what_o they_o say_v i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o public_a act_n or_o declaration_n they_o can_v instance_n in_o and_o whether_o they_o have_v any_o witness_n that_o will_v say_v the_o booted-missionaries_a have_v ever_o require_v from_o the_o hugonot_n a_o great_a test_n of_o their_o fidelity_n than_o they_o have_v before_o but_o only_o their_o force_v they_o to_o go_v to_o mass_n every_o body_n know_v that_o this_o french_a king_n owe_v his_o crown_n to_o those_o very_a protestant_n he_o have_v so_o cruel_o use_v and_o consequent_o that_o their_o fidelity_n can_v not_o be_v in_o the_o least_o call_v into_o question_n but_o if_o the_o french_a king_n aim_v not_o at_o the_o extirpation_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n why_o do_v he_o say_v in_o his_o letter_n and_o memorial_n against_o the_o emperor_n and_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n that_o it_o be_v his_o intention_n why_o have_v he_o destroy_v the_o church_n of_o orange_n and_o force_v his_o majesty_n subject_n as_o well_o as_o his_o own_o to_o forsake_v their_o religion_n and_o to_o go_v to_o mass_n and_o why_o have_v he_o compel_v the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n 10_o destroy_v the_o vaudcis_n as_o his_o royal_a highness_n have_v public_o declare_v the_o french_a king_n have_v then_o declare_v war_n against_o all_o the_o protestant_n of_o the_o world_n i_o think_v the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v not_o be_v except_v and_o i_o be_v induce_v to_o that_o belief_n by_o the_o measure_v the_o late_a king_n have_v take_v with_o he_o effectual_o to_o destroy_v it_o but_o be_v now_o assure_v by_o some_o that_o he_o be_v the_o protector_n of_o it_o i_o be_o surprise_v at_o such_o a_o wonderful_a change_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o phoenomenon_n the_o solution_n of_o which_o i_o humble_o desire_v of_o our_o learned_a mutmurer_n i_o ask_v two_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o true_a englishman_n that_o be_v one_o live_v free_a under_o their_o majesty_n most_o gracious_a government_n and_o make_v use_n of_o his_o right_a reason_n can_v wish_v a_o tyrant_n for_o his_o king_n a_o oppressor_n who_o have_v make_v his_o subject_n the_o most_o miserable_a wretch_n and_o slave_n in_o the_o world_n though_o inhabitant_n of_o one_o of_o the_o most_o plentiful_a country_n of_o the_o earth_n who_o suck_v their_o very_a blood_n and_o marrow_n from_o they_o to_o satisfy_v his_o vast_a ambition_n or_o his_o impure_a lust_n and_o pleasure_n and_o who_o sacrifice_n they_o to_o his_o least_o interest_n or_o vanity_n the_o enemy_n of_o mankind_n the_o invader_n of_o his_o neighbour_n a_o prince_n if_o i_o may_v call_v he_o so_o who_o have_v ever_o yet_o scorn_v to_o be_v a_o slave_n to_o his_o oath_n or_o treaty_n and_o on_o who_o the_o religion_n be_v profess_v and_o all_o that_o be_v sacred_a among_o man_n have_v no_o manner_n of_o force_n or_o power_n to_o use_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n in_o his_o letter_n to_o the_o pope_n in_o a_o word_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o englishman_n who_o love_v the_o interest_n of_o his_o nation_n to_o wish_v for_o a_o man_n of_o the_o character_n of_o this_o french_a king_n to_o be_v his_o absolute_a lord_n and_o master_n till_o these_o gentleman_n will_v be_v please_v to_o answer_v i_o these_o two_o question_n i_o shall_v make_v bold_a to_o deliver_v my_o own_o thought_n upon_o they_o and_o as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o say_v that_o the_o french_a king_n be_v not_o the_o protector_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o his_o idolater_n who_o give_v he_o that_o magnificent_a title_n prevaricate_v and_o make_v use_n of_o some_o equivocation_n for_o they_o must_v mean_v another_o church_n far_o different_a from_o that_o here_o establish_v by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n we_o need_v no_o other_o protection_n than_o that_o of_o their_o majesty_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o the_o gentleman_n i_o speak_v of_o be_v papist_n in_o their_o heart_n notwithstanding_o their_o so_o much_o affect_v outward_a show_n of_o protestantism_n if_o they_o have_v any_o religion_n at_o all_o as_o to_o the_o second_o query_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o englishman_n who_o love_v the_o true_a interest_n of_o his_o nation_n to_o wish_v his_o master_n may_v be_v a_o man_n of_o the_o character_n of_o this_o french_a king_n i_o answer_v no_o and_o therefore_o by_o the_o reason_n contain_v in_o the_o query_n i_o conclude_v that_o the_o murmurer_n be_v either_o fool_n or_o enemy_n of_o this_o country_n now_o to_o say_v they_o be_v the_o former_a i_o confess_v it_o will_v seem_v a_o little_a too_o hard_a a_o censure_n and_o i_o shall_v wrong_v several_a of_o they_o who_o i_o know_v to_o be_v man_n of_o part_n they_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o themselves_o that_o sure_o i_o be_o they_o will_v much_o rather_o be_v call_v enemy_n to_o this_o nation_n and_o though_o complaisance_n be_v opposite_a to_o my_o temper_n yet_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o must_v upon_o this_o occasion_n force_v my_o natural_a inclination_n and_o agree_v with_o they_o that_o this_o last_o character_n be_v more_o suitable_a to_o their_o proceed_n than_o that_o of_o fool_n have_v give_v a_o exact_a parallel_n between_o the_o ancient_n and_o modern_a persecutor_n my_o design_n will_v be_v imperfect_a shall_v i_o omit_v
