be_o i_o never_o raise_v any_o more_o odious_a consequence_n against_o popery_n than_o this_o be_v against_o we_o but_o we_o never_o think_v that_o any_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v his_o majesty_n subject_n will_v have_v dare_v to_o do_v he_o so_o ill_a service_n as_o to_o drive_v the_o affair_n to_o this_o height_n for_o at_o this_o rate_n they_o render_v it_o leasing-making_a and_o lese-majesty_n to_o speak_v against_o popery_n at_o all_o because_o no_o protestant_n can_v speak_v against_o it_o but_o he_o must_v call_v it_o such_o a_o religion_n as_o be_v not_o the_o safe_a way_n to_o salvation_n otherwise_o he_o behove_v to_o embrace_v it_o and_o be_v papist_n himself_n since_o there_o be_v but_o one_o religion_n that_o as_o such_o can_v lead_v one_o to_o heaven_n and_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o be_v of_o that_o but_o according_a to_o that_o author_n the_o charge_v popery_n with_o any_o odious_a thing_n beyond_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o so_o than_o what_o be_v damnable_a tend_v to_o alienate_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n from_o he_o and_o to_o beget_v in_o they_o a_o hatred_n of_o his_o person_n and_o sure_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v such_o a_o tendency_n be_v as_o horrid_a a_o treason_n and_o villainy_n as_o be_v imaginable_a wherefore_o i_o do_v appeal_n to_o all_o the_o world_n if_o ever_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o a_o great_a tendency_n to_o alienate_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n from_o he_o than_o for_o the_o papist_n thus_o to_o screw_n up_o the_o quarrel_n about_o religion_n till_o it_o become_v one_o of_o the_o crown_n and_o to_o muzzle_v up_o our_o mouth_n from_o utter_v one_o syllable_n against_o popery_n whatever_o the_o busy_a emissary_n of_o rome_n shall_v say_v in_o behalf_n of_o it_o for_o if_o the_o fear_n of_o popery_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o produce_v the_o great_a mischief_n as_o certain_o they_o be_v then_o questionless_a the_o draw_v such_o consequence_n from_o our_o own_v our_o religion_n and_o show_v how_o false_a that_o great_a rival_n popery_n be_v which_o necessary_o we_o must_v do_v if_o we_o own_o our_o own_o religion_n must_v be_v very_o apt_a to_o produce_v these_o evil_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o apt_a to_o engender_v those_o fear_n than_o thus_o to_o carry_v the_o matter_n to_o so_o dreadful_a a_o event_n but_o bless_a be_v god_n we_o know_v abundant_o that_o these_o pragmatical_a gentleman_n do_v run_v without_o a_o commission_n and_o that_o his_o gracious_a majesty_n himself_o have_v no_o such_o thought_n of_o we_o as_o they_o have_v and_o we_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o any_o to_o have_v they_o for_o the_o reason_n why_o that_o gentleman_n imagine_v that_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n be_v thus_o alienate_v from_o he_o be_v because_o they_o can_v love_v the_o person_n whilst_o they_o hate_v the_o religion_n of_o the_o prince_n true_o i_o will_v not_o have_v think_v that_o any_o papist_n shall_v have_v be_v so_o little_o considerate_a as_o to_o own_o and_o declare_v that_o principle_n that_o the_o people_n can_v love_v the_o person_n whilst_o they_o hate_v the_o religion_n of_o the_o prince_n for_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a confession_n and_o not_o auricular_a either_o that_o since_o queen_n mary_n day_n there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o prince_n among_o we_o love_v by_o his_o popish_a subject_n and_o that_o in_o all_o time_n come_v no_o protestant_a prince_n can_v ever_o expect_v any_o of_o their_o affection_n or_o kindness_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o as_o the_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n have_v make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o render_v protestanc_n as_o yodious_a and_o abominable_a as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v so_o they_o will_v always_o continue_v to_o do_v so_o what_o then_o have_v become_v of_o all_o the_o popish_a loyalty_n that_o have_v be_v so_o much_o talk_v of_o and_o be_v not_o protestant_a king_n in_o a_o brave_a and_o glorious_a condition_n when_o they_o have_v popish_a subject_n but_o what_o if_o britain_n be_v as_o much_o popish_a as_o now_o it_o be_v the_o contrary_a and_o a_o protestant_a king_n be_v rule_v over_o it_o will_v he_o not_o have_v a_o pretty_a tenure_n for_o his_o crown_n and_o will_v these_o gentleman_n speak_v so_o in_o such_o a_o case_n indeed_o too_o much_o fondness_n without_o any_o ground_n at_o all_o have_v make_v they_o very_o far_o alter_v their_o dialect_n of_o late_a though_o at_o least_o policy_n and_o prudence_n shall_v restrain_v they_o from_o such_o argument_n for_o we_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o say_v but_o that_o their_o present_a circumstance_n may_v be_v change_v and_o that_o britain_n may_v have_v a_o protestant_a prince_n again_o although_o it_o be_v our_o prayer_n as_o fervent_o and_o zealous_o as_o it_o be_v any_o papist_n that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v our_o present_a great_a one_o reign_v over_o we_o till_o he_o shall_v have_v outgo_v all_o his_o predecessor_n as_o much_o in_o year_n as_o in_o glory_n but_o moreover_o i_o will_v ask_v these_o gentleman_n whither_o or_o no_o they_o think_v that_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v but_o very_o cold_a to_o their_o prince_n nay_o that_o they_o go_v so_o far_o as_o even_o to_o hate_v their_o person_n because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o their_o religion_n sure_o i_o be_o they_o will_v not_o say_v but_o that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o do_v otherwise_o and_o if_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n sure_o they_o will_v be_v so_o charitable_a to_o they_o as_o to_o think_v they_o do_v not_o prevaricate_v in_o it_o so_o that_o christian_a subject_n not_o only_o aught_o to_o love_v the_o person_n of_o their_o prince_n even_o out_o of_o mere_a duty_n whatever_o be_v the_o difference_n of_o religion_n between_o they_o but_o we_o must_v presume_v that_o they_o have_v actual_o do_v so_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o recommend_v those_o prince_n unto_o they_o but_o only_o that_o they_o be_v such_o but_o when_o we_o have_v a_o king_n who_o personal_a excellency_n be_v as_o vast_a as_o his_o title_n be_v and_o who_o goodness_n to_o we_o and_o especial_o manifest_v in_o allow_v we_o the_o free_a exercise_n of_o our_o religion_n according_a to_o the_o full_a extent_n of_o all_o the_o law_n we_o have_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o it_o be_v as_o great_a as_o either_o and_o so_o when_o the_o ingenuity_n of_o our_o rational_a nature_n and_o the_o most_o press_a gratitude_n together_o with_o the_o high_a duty_n tie_v we_o as_o with_o a_o threefold_a cord_n that_o can_v easy_o be_v break_v to_o love_v and_o admire_v he_o and_o to_o devote_v our_o life_n and_o fortune_n to_o his_o service_n his_o protestant_a subject_n and_o these_o be_v all_o the_o three_o nation_n almost_o must_v be_v first_o represent_v as_o worse_a than_o canniblas_n and_o devil_n before_o they_o can_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o contrary_a and_o the_o minister_n must_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o base_a and_o ugly_a monster_n that_o ever_o deserve_v that_o name_n before_o they_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o design_n the_o preach_v they_o into_o the_o be_v so_o wherefore_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o these_o gentleman_n can_v do_v or_o say_v we_o will_v love_v he_o as_o our_o happiness_n as_o our_o glory_n as_o our_o defence_n as_o the_o very_a breath_n of_o our_o nostril_n and_o as_o the_o anoint_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o much_o as_o they_o for_o their_o heart_n and_o soul_n can_v do_v though_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o con_v they_o our_o thanks_o for_o have_v extort_a this_o competition_n from_o we_o but_o sir_n their_o mistake_n in_o all_o this_o lie_v here_o that_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o whatever_o be_v charge_v on_o the_o religion_n as_o it_o be_v abstract_o consider_v be_v likewise_o direct_v to_o the_o person_n of_o those_o who_o profess_v it_o and_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o malicious_a than_o to_o suggest_v this_o so_o neither_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v more_o unjust_a for_o whoever_o among_o we_o say_v that_o all_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v inevitable_o incur_v those_o
