crime_n it_o be_v but_o just_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v so_o great_a a_o distance_n if_o our_o clergyman_n that_o have_v plurality_n make_v their_o groom_n supply_v their_o cure_n in_o this_o part_n of_o his_o character_n he_o certain_o sir_n mistake_v the_o country_n and_o intend_v this_o for_o some_o other_o kingdom_n in_o europe_n where_o he_o have_v also_o miss_v of_o a_o medal_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o be_v as_o little_o acquaint_v with_o his_o own_o church_n as_o he_o be_v with_o we_o or_o else_o he_o will_v never_o have_v object_v to_o we_o our_o plurality_n which_o be_v infinite_o few_o and_o more_o confine_v among_o we_o he_o will_v never_o have_v venture_v to_o upbraid_v we_o with_o the_o ignorance_n of_o our_o parish_n priest_n lest_o we_o shall_v have_v provoke_v the_o whole_a church_n of_o rome_n to_o a_o comparison_n in_o brief_a sir_n our_o slave_n do_v not_o serve_v at_o our_o altar_n and_o i_o will_v also_o add_v that_o our_o chief_a spiritual_a dignity_n be_v not_o entail_v upon_o family_n nor_o possess_v by_o child_n in_o all_o the_o parish_n of_o england_n i_o dare_v challenge_v not_o only_o he_o that_o be_v a_o stranger_n but_o the_o

who_o have_v not_o the_o authority_n of_o holy_a order_n that_o he_o have_v presume_v to_o call_v our_o public_a solemn_a prayer_n only_o a_o morsel_n or_o a_o scrap_n of_o a_o liturgy_n i_o do_v not_o much_o wonder_n for_o he_o that_o have_v long_o make_v his_o own_o religion_n his_o cook_n as_o one_o of_o our_o poet_n express_v it_o may_v well_o be_v think_v irreligious_a enough_o to_o take_v a_o metaphor_n for_o we_o from_o a_o kitchin_n but_o beside_o this_o he_o assert_n that_o the_o introduction_n of_o the_o english_a liturgy_n into_o scotland_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o

i_o will_v fain_o have_v he_o ask_v this_o question_n of_o the_o pope_n legate_n that_o be_v in_o ireland_n whether_o the_o horrible_a irish_a massacre_n be_v commit_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n

they_o shall_v seek_v out_o any_o trifle_a occasion_n of_o excommunication_n when_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n they_o have_v so_o many_o weighty_a provocation_n if_o that_o be_v true_a that_o the_o whole_a nation_n neglect_v their_o discipline_n but_o sir_n you_o know_v it_o be_v apparent_a to_o all_o indifferent_a man_n that_o the_o bishop_n have_v be_v most_o remarkable_o moderate_v in_o their_o visitation_n and_o that_o the_o punishment_n which_o have_v be_v inflict_v on_o the_o obstinate_a have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n proceed_v from_o the_o temporal_a sword_n and_o not_o the_o spiritual_a but_o because_o he_o here_o quarrel_n at_o the_o absoluteness_n of_o our_o bishop_n power_n i_o leave_v he_o to_o be_v answer_v by_o the_o whole_a clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o ought_v to_o be_v alarm_v by_o this_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v repute_v so_o tyrannical_a what_o will_v they_o be_v esteem_v who_o jurisdiction_n be_v so_o much_o large_a he_o go_v on_o to_o
