as_o well_o as_o popish_a and_o those_o that_o have_v as_o exact_o transcribe_v these_o doctrine_n as_o if_o they_o have_v learn_v they_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o mariana_n but_o the_o saint_n you_o know_v may_v borrow_v of_o the_o egyptian_o and_o perhaps_o you_o may_v never_o hear_v of_o any_o suit_n commence_v against_o they_o if_o they_o restore_v not_o again_o i_o have_v not_o time_n to_o

other_o viz._n because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o plain_a palpable_a conviction_n that_o this_o be_v unjust_o object_v against_o it_o i_o only_o add_v that_o the_o good_a christian_n of_o old_a take_v care_n to_o use_v this_o method_n and_o can_v not_o by_o any_o severity_n and_o ill_a usage_n be_v ever_o tempt_v to_o the_o contrary_a they_o be_v peaceable_a and_o submissive_a they_o ready_o obey_v and_o hearty_o pray_v for_o their_o governor_n even_o when_o most_o barbarous_o and_o unjust_o provoke_v to_o the_o contrary_a so_o that_o not_o one_o christian_a die_v as_o a_o rebel_n or_o a_o traitor_n in_o all_o the_o early_a persecution_n of_o christianity_n nor_o for_o several_a century_n and_o you_o may_v challenge_v any_o of_o these_o factour_n for_o treason_n to_o instance_n in_o one_o nay_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o julian_n himself_o acquit_v they_o from_o this_o aspersion_n and_o upbraid_v his_o heathen_a subject_n with_o the_o obedience_n and_o loyalty_n of_o the_o
