thing_n be_v capable_a of_o a_o double_a construction_n he_o must_v not_o present_o suppose_v the_o worst_a especial_o he_o must_v have_v a_o care_n that_o he_o do_v as_o be_v too_o often_o do_v

the_o progress_n of_o deism_n be_v take_v from_o the_o time_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o ●_o page_n ●_o for_o from_o that_o time_n chief_o begin_v the_o hatred_n of_o the_o party_n against_o clergyment_n his_o instance_n be_v of_o a_o young_a gentleman_n send_v to_o travel_v into_o popish_a country_n and_o principled_a by_o his_o tutor_n to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o popery_n because_o it_o be_v a_o religion_n which_o in_o almost_o all_o its_o branch_n be_v only_o calculate_v and_o design_v to_o serve_v a_o turn_n etc._n etc._n well_o the_o young_a gentleman_n when_o he_o have_v do_v his_o travel_n return_n to_o old_a england_n and_o find_v archbishop_n laud_n and_o the_o presbyterian_o quarrel_v about_o power_n and_o this_o give_v he_o a_o prejudice_n against_o the_o religion_n of_o his_o country_n and_o so_o he_o turn_v deist_n now_o sure_a this_o young_a gentleman_n have_v not_o a_o good_a tutor_n or_o else_o he_o discharge_v he_o as_o be_v common_o do_v too_o soon_o i_o suppose_v when_o he_o be_v send_v to_o spain_n or_o italy_n his_o tutor_n do_v not_o bid_v he_o disbelieve_v the_o apostle_n creed_n because_o the_o error_n of_o popery_n be_v invent_v to_o serve_v a_o turn_n but_o his_o mean_v be_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o care_n and_o not_o easy_o without_o good_a evidence_n believe_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v such_o a_o objection_n against_o it_o and_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_a to_o bring_v this_o caution_n home_o with_o he_o if_o they_o be_v quarrel_v about_o power_n not_o to_o believe_v either_o till_o he_o have_v examine_v the_o matter_n

it_o be_v not_o very_o wise_o do_v in_o a_o matter_n of_o such_o concernment_n 5._o page_n 5._o yet_o this_o be_v one_o of_o our_o author_n man_n of_o probity_n and_o sobriety_n but_o i_o rather_o think_v his_o manner_n be_v corrupt_v in_o his_o travel_n and_o so_o he_o have_v no_o great_a mind_n to_o religion_n otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o have_v part_v with_o it_o so_o easy_o as_o for_o archbishop_n laud_n who_o be_v strike_v at_o here_o and_o so_o often_o in_o this_o pamphlet_n i_o shall_v not_o pretend_v to_o justify_v all_o he_o do_v if_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o miscarriage_n he_o suffer_v severe_a enough_o for_o they_o and_o the_o party_n may_v now_o very_o well_o let_v he_o rest_v but_o as_o for_o his_o zeal_n in_o defend_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n be_v it_o in_o itself_o a_o indifferent_a matter_n what_o the_o government_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v yet_o since_o episcopacy_n be_v establish_v it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v very_o wise_a without_o good_a

government_n which_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v universal_o have_v in_o all_o age_n from_o the_o apostle_n day_n that_o which_o apparent_o have_v be_v the_o government_n in_o england_n ever_o

shall_v have_v betray_v his_o trust_n have_v he_o not_o do_v all_o he_o can_v to_o preserve_v it_o our_o author_n invidious_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o bishop_n court_n style_n etc._n etc._n 6._o page_n 6._o if_o the_o nation_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o show_v their_o respect_n to_o their_o religion_n by_o bestow_v some_o honour_n or_o convenience_n on_o the_o minister_n of_o it_o which_o they_o can_v and_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o by_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o this_o author_n to_o show_v any_o reason_n why_o they_o may_v not_o make_v use_n of_o they_o but_o as_o for_o what_o follow_v it_o be_v very_o surprise_v and_o show_v that_o our_o author_n shall_v have_v take_v some_o care_n to_o know_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n better_a before_o he_o rail_v at_o it_o so_o much_o his_o word_n be_v these_o 7._o page_n 7._o but_o the_o bishop_n be_v the_o high_a power_n because_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o episcopacy_n he_o

allegiance_n in_o yield_v their_o aid_n and_o assistance_n it_o be_v like_o enough_o some_o may_v be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o good_a christian_a bishop_n or_o minister_n to_o refuse_v give_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n even_o to_o a_o king_n if_o he_o be_v notorious_o scandalous_a in_o his_o life_n but_o to_o excommunicate_v he_o so_o as_o to_o forbid_v he_o the_o

man_n go_v on_o to_o write_v such_o book_n as_o these_o of_o our_o author_n on_o purpose_n to_o inflame_v he_o express_v himself_o very_o angry_a at_o the_o test_n and_o call_v it_o a_o
