A55099	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.	Palmer, Samuel, d. 1724.	1680 (1680)	Wing P251; ESTC R602	32,970	40

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 protestant_n if_o you_o please_v to_o look_v but_o in_o the_o statute-book_n in_o anno_fw-la decimo_fw-la tertio_fw-la elizabethae_fw-la and_o the_o 12_o chapter_n you_o will_v find_v a_o whole_a parliament_n of_o they_o and_o upon_o church_n work_v too_o and_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o upon_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n and_o there_o you_o read_v that_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o church_n in_o the_o queen_n majesty_n dominion_n may_v be_v serve_v with_o pastor_n of_o sound_a religion_n they_o enact_v that_o every_o person_n under_o the_o degree_n of_o a_o bishop_n that_o shall_v pretend_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n by_o reason_n of_o any_o other_o form_n of_o institution_n consecration_n or_o ordination_n than_o what_o be_v enjoin_v by_o parliament_n in_o the_o day_n of_o king_n edward_n the_o 6_o or_o be_v then_o in_o use_n shall_v declare_v his_o assent_n and_o subscribe_v to_o all_o the_o article_n of_o religion_n which_o only_o concern_v the_o confession_n of_o the_o true_a christian_a faith_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n here_o be_v your_o tenderness_n of_o a_o true_a queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n that_o let_v their_o ordination_n be_v what_o it_o will_v and_o their_o esteem_n for_o ceremony_n what_o it_o will_v so_o they_o will_v but_o subscribe_v and_o assent_v to_o those_o article_n of_o religion_n that_o only_o concern_v 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 church_n door_n as_o wide_a as_o may_v be_v to_o let_v honest_a and_o sound_a minister_n in_o and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o mode_n of_o our_o time_n and_o these_o protestant_n here_o of_o we_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 they_o can_v not_o comply_v with_o a_o few_o i_o will_v not_o call_v they_o idle_a and_o useless_a but_o i_o be_o sure_a very_o unhappy_a ceremony_n so_o that_o by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v how_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 from_o q._n elizabeth_n protestant_n in_o their_o civil_a concern_v than_o you_o have_v see_v they_o in_o their_o religious_a notion_n for_o the_o protestant_n in_o her_o time_n be_v circumstance_v 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 each_o other_o in_o these_o three_o case_n in_o case_n of_o the_o queen_n death_n in_o case_n of_o a_o foreign_a invasion_n and_o in_o case_n of_o any_o popish_a insurrection_n and_o in_o particular_a they_o oblige_v themselves_o to_o one_o another_o that_o when_o ever_o the_o queen_n fall_v they_o will_v all_o shall_fw-mi on_o the_o papist_n and_o revenge_v her_o death_n upon_o they_o and_o this_o put_v a_o present_a end_n to_o all_o their_o plot_n and_o design_n against_o she_o for_o ever_o for_o when_o they_o see_v the_o people_n be_v come_v to_o a_o point_n and_o that_o conspire_v against_o the_o queen_n life_n be_v but_o conspire_v against_o their_o own_o life_n they_o have_v do_v with_o their_o plotting_n and_o can_v live_v quiet_a like_o other_o people_n all_o the_o remain_a part_n 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 ratify_v confirm_v and_o make_v it_o a_o law_n and_o to_o last_o as_o long_o as_o she_o live_v now_o if_o you_o compare_v these_o our_o protestant_n that_o we_o be_v here_o reprove_v with_o she_o in_o 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 self_n any_o more_o for_o queen_n elizabeth_n protestant_n if_o you_o be_v of_o that_o stamp_n for_o you_o see_v you_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v of_o their_o nature_n that_o bate_v but_o the_o bare_a name_n you_o have_v nothing_o of_o she_o protestant_n in_o you_o and_o i_o be_o persuade_v it_o be_v good_a for_o our_o church_n if_o you_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o name_n neither_o thus_o much_o for_o reproof_n come_v we_o now_o to_o caution_n 2_o be_v it_o so_o that_o wicked_a man_n be_v plotter_n and_o the_o only_a plotter_n the_o world_n have_v in_o it_o then_o first_o be_v cautious_a of_o their_o company_n lay_v hold_v on_o all_o occasion_n to_o shun_v and_o avoid_v it_o and_o say_v with_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n gen._n 49.6_o o_o my_o soul_n come_v not_o thou_o into_o their_o secret_n unto_o their_o assembly_n my_o honour_n be_v not_o thou_o unite_v and_o think_v with_o he_o that_o the_o safety_n of_o your_o honour_n nay_o your_o very_a soul_n lie_v in_o decline_v their_o company_n for_o what_o will_v you_o be_v in_o their_o company_n for_o you_o put_v yourselves_o but_o under_o a_o constraint_n and_o too_o often_o into_o a_o snare_n also_o for_o if_o you_o speak_v they_o deal_v by_o you_o as_o they_o do_v by_o the_o royal_a prophet_n psal_n 56.5_o every_o day_n say_v he_o they_o wrest_v my_o word_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o you_o to_o comport_v yourselves_o in_o wicked_a company_n for_o either_o you_o will_v speak_v too_o much_o to_o please_v they_o or_o too_o little_a to_o please_v yourselves_o and_o if_o you_o be_v silent_a and_o sit_v with_o your_o tongue_n in_o your_o mouth_n than_o you_o seem_v to_o assent_v to_o all_o they_o say_v so_o that_o neither_o silent_a nor_o speak_v be_v you_o safe_a wherefore_o resolve_v with_o the_o psalmist_n to_o keep_v agreeable_a company_n for_o he_o profess_v to_o god_n almighty_a that_o he_o be_v a_o companion_n to_o all_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o of_o they_o that_o keep_v his_o precept_n psal_n 119.63_o and_o king_n use_v to_o keep_v such_o good_a company_n as_o it_o be_v no_o disparagement_n to_o be_v reckon_v their_o companion_n and_o think_v not_o that_o this_o caution_n extend_v itself_o no_o far_o than_o that_o you_o shall_v eschew_v the_o company_n of_o
