and_o prepare_v he_o according_a to_o her_o direction_n before_o he_o enter_v the_o bedchamber_n according_o his_o highness_n have_v meet_v the_o bishop_n acquaint_v he_o that_o she_o be_v actual_o

will_v acquiesce_v in_o it_o what_o he_o will_v think_v of_o his_o bishop_n concern_v not_o i_o but_o as_o a_o protestant_n he_o have_v reason_n for_o his_o thank_n god_n that_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o church_n do_v not_o depend_v on_o the_o singular_a opinion_n of_o one_o bishop_n in_o it_o it_o appear_v plain_o by_o this_o relation_n that_o the_o bishop_n of_o worcester_n be_v ignorant_a almost_o to_o the_o last_o of_o her_o conversion_n so_o that_o if_o that_o will_v serve_v our_o author_n turn_n he_o be_v acquit_v from_o intend_v any_o such_o act_n of_o charity_n but_o that_o he_o contribute_v to_o it_o without_o any_o such_o intention_n be_v apparent_a yet_o our_o author_n will_v not_o so_o sit_v down_o he_o will_v condemn_v her_o highness_n from_o her_o own_o word_n again_o and_o prove_v from_o her_o say_n that_o she_o owe_v the_o blessing_n of_o her_o conversion_n to_o god_n almighty_a that_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n can_v have_v no_o hand_n in_o it_o what_o obligation_n have_v he_o to_o defend_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o church_n by_o a_o piece_n of_o sophistry_n she_o owe_v it_o whole_o to_o almighty_a god_n for_o of_o ourselves_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o as_o the_o answerer_n confess_v this_o exclude_v not_o her_o own_o endeavour_n god_n inspire_v she_o with_o a_o desire_n of_o be_v reconcile_v to_o his_o church_n in_o answer_n to_o her_o frequent_a prayer_n not_o by_o immediate_a illumination_n or_o show_v she_o the_o right_a belief_n miraculous_o but_o by_o afford_v she_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n and_o conduct_v she_o by_o his_o

often_o work_v good_a out_o of_o evil_a that_o the_o argument_n they_o use_v or_o rather_o the_o answer_n which_o they_o make_v produce_v a_o contrary_a effect_n and_o add_v more_o to_o the_o desire_n she_o have_v to_o be_v a_o catholic_a in_o this_o sense_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o bishop_n send_v she_o to_o the_o priest_n for_o a_o unresistable_a overrule_a power_n make_v they_o contribute_v to_o her_o change_n by_o oppose_v it_o and_o the_o very_a hand_n which_o labour_v to_o hold_v she_o fast_o in_o the_o protestant_a persuasion_n carry_v her_o half_a sea_n over_o

of_o persuasion_n who_o far_o from_o endeavour_v to_o make_v her_o change_n dissuade_v she_o from_o change_v though_o the_o protestant_a flint_n happen_v to_o strike_v catholic_a fire_n so_o that_o i_o can_v but_o think_v there_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a hand_n of_o providence_n in_o her_o case_n and_o of_o which_o she_o have_v reason_n to_o be_v extraordinary_a sensible_a but_o we_o must_v have_v i_o perceive_v a_o care_n of_o pray_v and_o own_v benefit_n from_o god_n for_o that_o or_o nothing_o make_v she_o pass_v for_o a_o enthusiast_n with_o the_o answerer_n she_o do_v nothing_o beside_o pray_v which_o our_o author_n do_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o her_o duty_n to_o have_v do_v she_o read_v the_o history_n which_o be_v put_v into_o her_o hand_n to_o confirm_v she_o in_o her_o

he_o will_v advise_v she_o but_o say_v our_o author_n all_o pretender_n to_o enthusiasm_n do_v as_o solemn_o and_o whole_o ascribe_v the_o blessing_n to_o almighty_a god_n and_o look_v on_o it_o as_o the_o effect_n of_o such_o prayer_n as_o she_o make_v to_o he_o in_o france_n and_o flanders_n they_o ascribe_v it_o indeed_o whole_o to_o god_n in_o our_o author_n sense_n but_o not_o in_o she_o for_o she_o mean_v not_o immediate_a illumination_n by_o the_o word_n whole_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v they_o may_v look_v on_o their_o false_a light_n as_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o prayer_n but_o she_o look_v on_o her_o conversion_n as_o the_o effect_n of_o she_o after_o have_v use_v the_o mean_n he_o have_v think_v he_o say_v that_o the_o pretence_n to_o a_o private_a spirit_n

never_o divert_v the_o young_a gallant_n of_o the_o town_n with_o his_o merry_a book_n concern_v the_o fanaticism_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n he_o next_o inquire_v what_o need_n she_o have_v of_o a_o infallible_a church_n if_o she_o owe_v her_o change_n so_o whole_o to_o almighty_a god_n whole_o be_v already_o explain_v to_o he_o and_o then_o his_o argument_n be_v of_o no_o more_o force_n against_o she_o then_o against_o all_o catholic_n who_o have_v once_o be_v protestant_n which_o be_v a_o new_a subject_n of_o dispute_n and_o foreign_a to_o the_o argugument_n in_o hand_n her_o conclusion_n as_o he_o tell_v we_o be_v that_o she_o will_v never_o have_v change_v if_o she_o can_v have_v save_v her_o soul_n otherwise_o whereupon_o he_o infer_v if_o this_o be_v true_a she_o have_v good_a reason_n for_o her_o change_n if_o it_o be_v not_o true_a as_o most_o certain_o it_o be_v not_o she_o have_v none_o but_o
