The plotters doom wherein the wicked plots, plotters, and their confederates are detected and sentenced by the Holy Scriptures : in a late sermon upon the hellish plots which have been discovered in these nations, and may be an answer to Mr. H's late sermon upon Curse ye Meroz / by a sincere Protestant and true son of the church.

come_v nigh_a queen_n mary_fw-mi papist_n and_o that_o both_o in_o their_o religion_n and_o in_o their_o civil_a notion_n as_o to_o their_o religion_n if_o you_o will_v see_v a_o queen_n elizabeth_n

the_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n they_o judge_v they_o of_o a_o sound_a religion_n and_o fit_a to_o be_v pastor_n of_o our_o church_n which_o i_o doubt_v these_o our_o hotspur_n will_v judge_v fit_a for_o a_o goal_n if_o not_o the_o gallow_n by_o which_o you_o see_v that_o queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n judge_v it_o their_o duty_n to_o open_v the_o

bar_v the_o door_n up_o by_o their_o law_n to_o keep_v they_o out_o if_o they_o declare_v their_o assent_n to_o the_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n only_o you_o see_v she_o protestant_n admit_v they_o and_o will_v not_o keep_v they_o out_o because_o they_o can_v not_o consent_v and_o conform_v to_o the_o ceremony_n thereof_o no_o they_o will_v not_o rob_v and_o deprive_v the_o church_n of_o god_n of_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n nor_o of_o the_o help_n use_v and_o service_n of_o so_o many_o sound_n and_o able_a pastor_n that_o be_v orthodox_n in_o their_o faith_n because_o

much_o our_o rigid_a churchman_n be_v out_o in_o their_o religious_a measure_n in_o boast_v themselves_o for_o queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n nor_o will_v you_o find_v they_o less_o different_a

extreme_o like_a to_o what_o we_o be_v now_o for_o the_o papist_n see_v that_o they_o can_v not_o carry_v back_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o rome_n unless_o they_o can_v cut_v she_o off_o and_o therefore_o all_o their_o plot_n and_o design_n be_v calculate_v against_o her_o life_n then_o as_o they_o be_v against_o his_o majesty_n now_o only_o she_o be_v bless_v with_o a_o thorough_a belief_n of_o their_o villainy_n so_o that_o she_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n even_o as_o to_o her_o natural_a life_n now_o her_o protestant_n perceive_v there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o their_o plot_n and_o that_o first_o or_o last_o they_o will_v have_v her_o life_n and_o there_o withal_o destroy_v the_o protestant_a religion_n also_o if_o by_o some_o extraordinary_a act_n they_o do_v not_o prevent_v it_o they_o do_v by_o a_o universal_a agreement_n enter_v into_o a_o association_n by_o which_o they_o mutual_o engage_v themselves_o to_o repair_v to_o their_o arm_n and_o stand_v by_o and_o assist_v

of_o her_o life_n this_o extraordinary_a act_n queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n do_v of_o themselves_o and_o in_o a_o interval_n of_o parliament_n and_o that_o age_n be_v so_o far_o from_o condemn_v it_o as_o any_o way_n factious_a seditious_a or_o rebellious_a that_o she_o herself_o in_o the_o very_a next_o parliament_n which_o be_v hold_v in_o vicessimo_fw-la septimo_fw-la of_o her_o reign_n

this_o point_n of_o civil_a right_n i_o doubt_v you_o will_v find_v they_o as_o unlike_o she_o protestant_n as_o but_o now_o you_o do_v in_o their_o religion_n for_o how_o barbarous_o do_v they_o clamour_v every_o where_n against_o their_o fellow_n protestant_n the_o other_o day_n but_o for_o carry_v on_o a_o modest_a and_o harmless_a petition_n for_o the_o parliament_n sit_v and_o how_o do_v they_o be_v rogue_n and_o be_v rebel_v all_o those_o worthy_a gentleman_n that_o either_o promote_v or_o countenance_v it_o how_o then_o will_v they_o have_v bellow_v and_o roar_v if_o they_o have_v enter_v into_o such_o a_o honest_a association_n as_o you_o see_v queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n do_v wherefore_o take_v the_o reproof_n home_o to_o yourselves_o and_o do_v not_o boast_v your_o
