some_z remarkable_a passage_n out_o of_o the_o excellent_a letter_n of_o mijn_n heer_n fagal_n in_o the_o name_n of_o their_o highness_n the_o prince_z and_o princess_z of_o orange_n i_o must_v then_o first_o of_o all_o assure_v you_o very_o positive_o that_o their_o highness_n have_v often_o declare_v as_o they_o do_v it_o more_o particular_o to_o the_o marquis_n abbeu●lle_n his_o majesty_n envoy_n extraordinary_a to_o the_o state_n that_o it_o be_v their_o opinion_n that_o no_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v persecute_v for_o his_o conscience_n or_o be_v ill_o use_v because_o he_o differ_v from_o the_o public_a and_o establishe●_n religion_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v consent_v that_o the_o papist_n in_o en●land_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n ●●●e_z suffer_v to_o continue_v in_o their_o religion_n with_o as_o much_o liberty_n as_o be_v allow_v they_o by_o the_o state_n in_o these_o province_n and_o their_o highness_n be_v very_o ready_a in_o case_n his_o majesty_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o desire_v it_o to_o declare_v their_o willingness_n to_o concur_v in_o the_o settle_n and_o confirm_v this_o liberty_n and_o as_o far_o as_o it_o lie_v in_o they_o they_o will_v protect_v and_o defend_v it_o and_o according_a to_o the_o language_n of_o treaty_n they_o will_v confirm_v it_o with_o their_o guaranty_n of_o which_o you_o make_v mention_n in_o you_o and_o if_o his_o majesty_n shall_v think_v fit_a further_o to_o desire_v their_o concurrence_n in_o the_o repeal_n of_o the_o penal_a law_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v it_o provide_v always_o that_o those_o law_n remain_v still_o in_o their_o full_a vigour_n by_o which_o the_o r._n catholic_n be_v shut_v out_o of_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n and_o out_o of_o all_o public_a employment_n ecclesiastical_a civil_a and_o military_a you_o write_v that_o the_o roman_a catholic_n in_o these_o province_n be_v not_o shut_v out_o from_o employment_n and_o place_n of_o trust_n but_o in_o this_o you_o be_v much_o mistake_v for_o our_o law_n be_v express_v exclude_v they_o by_o name_n from_o all_o share_n in_o the_o government_n and_o from_o all_o employment_n either_o of_o the_o policy_n or_o justice_n of_o our_o country_n it_o be_v true_a i_o do_v not_o know_v of_o any_o express_a law_n that_o shut_v they_o out_o of_o military_a employment_n that_o have_v indeed_o be_v hard_a since_o in_o the_o first_o formation_n of_o our_o state_n they_o join_v with_o we_o in_o defend_v our_o public_a liberty_n and_o do_v as_o eminent_a service_n during_o the_o war_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o shut_v out_o from_o those_o military_a employment_n for_o the_o public_a safety_n be_v no_o way_n endanger_v by_o this_o both_o because_o their_o number_n that_o serve_v in_o our_o troop_n be_v not_o great_a and_o because_o the_o state_n can_v easy_o prevent_v any_o inconveniency_n that_o may_v arise_v out_o of_o that_o which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v do_v so_o easy_o if_o the_o r_o catholic_n have_v be_v admit_v to_o a_o share_n in_o the_o government_n and_o in_o the_o policy_n or_o justice_n of_o our_o state._n i_o be_o very_o certain_a of_o this_o of_o which_o i_o can_v give_v very_o good_a proof_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o their_o highness_n desire_v so_o much_o as_o that_o his_o majesty_n may_v reign_v happy_o and_o in_o a_o entire_a confidence_n with_o his_o subject_n and_o that_o his_o subject_n be_v persuade_v of_o his_o majesty_n fatherly_a affection_n to_o they_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o make_v he_o all_o the_o return_v of_o duty_n that_o be_v in_o their_o power_n their_o highness_n have_v ever_o pay_v a_o most_o profound_a duty_n to_o his_o majesty_n which_o they_o will_v always_o continue_v to_o do_v for_o they_o consider_v themselves_o bind_v to_o it_o both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o nature_n i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o demonstrate_v to_o you_o how_o much_o their_o highness_n be_v devote_v to_o his_o majesty_n of_o which_o they_o have_v give_v such_o real_a evidence_n as_o be_v beyond_o all_o verbal_a one_o and_o they_o be_v resolve_v still_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o duty_n and_o
