people_n to_o draw_v the_o most_o ugly_a and_o so_o most_o false_a character_n of_o that_o religion_n which_o we_o can_v only_o scold_v at_o but_o not_o refute_v it_o be_v pretty_a indeed_o to_o see_v the_o chase_n so_o turn_v for_o the_o piae_fw-la fraud_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v as_o much_o the_o profess_a as_o peculiar_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o their_o own_o church_n we_o thank_v god_n we_o need_v no_o such_o supporter_n and_o our_o auditor_n be_v not_o so_o much_o keep_v in_o ignorance_n as_o to_o be_v easy_o impose_v upon_o and_o now_o sir_n you_o have_v the_o sermon_n and_o if_o it_o appear_v not_o by_o it_o that_o whatever_o i_o have_v charge_v they_o withal_o be_v if_o not_o the_o direct_a doctrine_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n yet_o at_o least_o the_o most_o common_a sentiment_n of_o their_o doctor_n and_o that_o all_o my_o deduction_n be_v true_o consequential_a and_o just_a than_o i_o shall_v willing_o submit_v to_o your_o censure_n which_o will_v be_v more_o severe_a to_o i_o than_o any_o that_o my_o avow_a enemy_n can_v inflict_v now_o sir_n to_o complete_a all_o it_o be_v say_v that_o i_o shall_v have_v be_v civil_a to_o a_o religion_n i_o be_v once_o of_o it_o be_v true_a i_o go_v abroad_o about_o nine_o year_n ago_o scarce_o be_v then_o of_o age_n and_o very_o unsettle_a in_o my_o judgement_n and_o unripe_a in_o my_o reason_n and_o then_o i_o be_v abuse_v by_o the_o sophistry_n of_o some_o jesuit_n several_a unlucky_a circumstance_n concur_v to_o favour_v their_o ill_a design_n upon_o i_o and_o thus_o i_o continue_v with_o they_o till_o towards_o three_o year_n that_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n i_o be_v bring_v back_o again_o to_o that_o pure_a and_o reasonable_a religion_n from_o which_o i_o have_v so_o foolish_o apostatise_v and_o indeed_o i_o be_v not_o long_o at_o rome_n when_o i_o begin_v to_o discover_v what_o a_o lamentable_a change_n i_o have_v make_v for_o to_o any_o ingenuous_a man_n there_o can_v hardly_o be_v a_o more_o convince_a demonstration_n than_o that_o ocular_a one_o which_o be_v daily_o to_o be_v see_v there_o so_o that_o if_o papist_n will_v deal_v prudent_o with_o their_o new_a proselyte_n they_o will_v be_v very_o wary_a to_o send_v they_o too_o soon_o unto_o that_o place_n but_o in_o all_o this_o my_o case_n be_v but_o such_o as_o if_o one_o in_o a_o violent_a fever_n shall_v through_o his_o rave_a distemper_n cry_v out_o that_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n but_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o recover_v his_o sense_n and_o judgement_n again_o will_v scarce_o believe_v he_o be_v ever_o so_o wonderful_o transport_v by_o his_o disease_n and_o be_v mighty_o astonish_v that_o even_o in_o those_o paroxysm_n he_o can_v run_v so_o far_o beside_o himself_o now_o why_o shall_v either_o they_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o brag_v that_o one_o in_o a_o very_a resemble_v condition_n be_v so_o great_o delude_v or_o shall_v i_o owe_v any_o other_o civility_n to_o that_o religion_n now_o but_o to_o let_v all_o the_o world_n see_v how_o much_o ground_n i_o have_v to_o forsake_v it_o but_o sure_o i_o be_o i_o be_v never_o uncivil_a to_o any_o person_n of_o that_o religion_n but_o have_v ever_o make_v it_o my_o business_n to_o acquit_v myself_o towards_o they_o of_o all_o the_o obligation_n they_o ever_o lay_v upon_o i_o but_o sir_n you_o will_v perhaps_o wonder_v that_o after_o there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v say_v against_o the_o sermon_n or_o direct_o against_o i_o because_o of_o it_o they_o shall_v come_v at_o last_o in_o the_o general_a to_o vent_v themselves_o against_o my_o have_v abandon_v their_o communion_n allege_v that_o i_o be_v influence_v by_o other_o motive_n than_o those_o which_o be_v proper_a for_o religion_n i_o be_o not_o to_o fix_v measure_n to_o any_o body_n charity_n but_o god_n be_v the_o searcher_n of_o all_o heart_n and_o i_o have_v a_o soul_n to_o answer_v unto_o he_o for_o whatever_o i_o do_v here_o in_o the_o body_n when_o that_o great_a day_n of_o account_n shall_v come_v wherein_o the_o motive_n upon_o which_o all_o man_n do_v embrace_v their_o religion_n will_v be_v lay_v open_a and_o make_v manifest_a but_o sir_n to_o satisfy_v the_o world_n i_o have_v this_o to_o say_v that_o i_o be_o ready_a upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o give_v a_o reason_n for_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o i_o to_o every_o body_n that_o shall_v ask_v about_o it_o so_o that_o i_o doubt_v not_o to_o show_v and_o i_o promise_v myself_o that_o this_o sermon_n will_v partly_o do_v it_o that_o whatever_o be_v my_o motive_n yet_o i_o have_v do_v what_o be_v just_a and_o reasonable_a in_o itself_o and_o what_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v however_o yet_o nothing_o they_o can_v say_v shall_v ever_o trouble_v or_o surprise_v i_o for_o i_o know_v that_o it_o be_v through_o good_a report_n and_o evil_a report_n that_o i_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v my_o comfort_n that_o there_o be_v a_o blessing_n annex_v to_o we_o when_o man_n shall_v revile_v we_o and_o persecute_v we_o and_o shall_v say_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n against_o we_o false_o for_o christ_n sake_n but_o in_o fine_a sir_n to_o return_v to_o the_o chief_a occasion_n of_o this_o long_a letter_n which_o i_o have_v never_o venture_v upon_o without_o your_o express_a command_n so_o long_o as_o those_o jesuit_n and_o priest_n and_o other_o truckle_a emissary_n of_o rome_n continue_v to_o busy_v themselves_o so_o extraordinary_o in_o promote_a their_o faith_n as_o they_o have_v do_v of_o late_a they_o will_v always_o furnish_v their_o minister_n with_o apology_n enough_o for_o preach_v against_o popery_n for_o how_o can_v we_o betray_v our_o trust_n so_o gross_o as_o to_o suffer_v our_o people_n to_o be_v shammed_a away_o from_o we_o by_o the_o crafty_a insinuation_n of_o a_o set_a of_o man_n who_o be_v incessant_a upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o advance_v their_o design_n without_o do_v what_o in_o we_o lie_v to_o prevent_v any_o inconsiderable_a mischief_n that_o may_v happen_v to_o our_o church_n that_o way_n as_o if_o we_o be_v no_o far_o concern_v than_o to_o be_v mere_a spectator_n of_o the_o affair_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o the_o least_o apprehension_n that_o popery_n will_v ever_o be_v impose_v upon_o we_o by_o our_o king_n that_o we_o preach_v and_o exhort_v against_o it_o no_o certain_o for_o we_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o no_o less_o secure_a upon_o that_o head_n than_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o we_o to_o be_v have_v all_o our_o law_n in_o favour_n of_o our_o religion_n confirm_v to_o we_o by_o his_o gracious_a sanction_n and_o be_v full_o encourage_v in_o that_o royal_a promise_n of_o which_o we_o can_v doubt_v before_o we_o be_v heinous_o guilty_a of_o a_o very_a great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n but_o because_o some_o eminent_a defection_n give_v we_o alas_o but_o too_o good_a ground_n to_o fear_v that_o the_o endeavour_n of_o these_o our_o restless_a enemy_n may_v prove_v too_o successful_a with_o many_o who_o pliant_a inclination_n upon_o what_o motive_n themselves_o know_v best_o and_o i_o will_v not_o presume_v to_o determine_v sufficient_o dispose_v for_o that_o religion_n and_o that_o my_o sermon_n do_v but_o too_o lucky_o hit_v the_o juncture_n of_o that_o day_n wherein_o it_o be_v preach_v you_o will_v certain_o acknowledge_v when_o you_o know_v that_o on_o that_o very_a day_n a_o presbyter_n of_o our_o church_n abjure_v its_o communion_n have_v therefore_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n gospel_n ever_o more_o reason_n to_o bestir_v themselves_o in_o maintain_v and_o defend_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o than_o in_o these_o our_o circumstance_n that_o therefore_o we_o have_v since_o these_o few_o month_n appear_v somewhat_o more_o zealous_a than_o ordinary_o against_o popery_n other_o than_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v thank_v for_o it_o these_o have_v force_v we_o either_o to_o be_v perfidious_a to_o our_o god_n and_o his_o son_n who_o minister_n we_o be_v or_o else_o to_o preach_v against_o that_o religion_n which_o we_o see_v be_v like_a to_o become_v so_o common_a and_o alamode_n thus_o sir_n i_o do_v endeavour_n to_o vindicate_v myself_o and_o sermon_n and_o i_o have_v write_v more_o large_o to_o you_o not_o only_o to_o approve_v myself_o to_o one_o of_o my_o best_a friend_n but_o also_o because_o i_o know_v that_o you_o will_v represent_v these_o thing_n in_o my_o behalf_n wherever_o you_o hear_v these_o objection_n make_v against_o i_o but_o whatever_o
