religion_n by_o law_n establish_v be_v as_o real_a traitor_n as_o those_o who_o be_v convince_v for_o conspiracy_n against_o the_o king_n life_n 2._o i_o will_v further_o infer_v from_o the_o forego_n doctrine_n that_o no_o security_n can_v be_v have_v of_o the_o loyalty_n of_o any_o person_n that_o be_v so_o possess_v for_o so_o long_o as_o he_o hold_v that_o any_o one_o have_v authority_n to_o depose_v the_o prince_n under_o who_o government_n he_o live_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o such_o a_o prince_n can_v be_v secure_v of_o the_o fidelity_n and_o allegiance_n of_o that_o subject_a and_o it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o whereas_o some_o of_o the_o irish_a papist_n since_o his_o majesty_n restauration_n have_v in_o a_o remonstrance_n prepare_v for_o the_o persuade_v the_o

that_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o permit_v or_o connive_v at_o it_o and_o therefore_o condemn_v it_o in_o this_o form_n that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v keep_v without_o breach_n of_o faith_n

as_o may_v be_v esteem_v rash_a and_o giddy_a but_o it_o be_v the_o common_a doctrine_n of_o all_o the_o jesuit_n there_o and_o i_o do_v by_o all_o that_o may_v obtain_v credit_n with_o mankind_n

the_o manage_n of_o public_a affair_n which_o they_o not_o only_o aspire_v after_o but_o stand_v recommend_v unto_o yet_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o have_v take_v
