discharge_v i_o from_o call_v those_o pamphleteer_n to_o a_o further_a account_n yet_o forasmuch_o as_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o have_v these_o advocate_n section_n xii_o of_o the_o plot_n prove_v mere_o to_o be_v slanderer_n i_o shall_v therefore_o moreover_o show_v that_o the_o papist_n may_v not_o only_o be_v public_a defamer_n with_o a_o consistancy_n to_o their_o religion_n but_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o chief_a casuist_n instruct_v and_o encourage_v they_o to_o be_v so_o and_o this_o i_o shall_v perform_v in_o a_o brief_a consideration_n of_o two_o particular_n first_o in_o that_o they_o teach_v the_o member_n of_o their_o church_n to_o be_v under_o no_o obligation_n to_o speak_v truth_n either_o to_o or_o of_o heretic_n but_o that_o they_o may_v calumniate_v they_o without_o the_o fear_n of_o guilt_n or_o divine_a wrath_n it_o be_v the_o common_a opinion_n of_o the_o jesuit_n in_o all_o their_o scholastic_a and_o casuistical_a write_n that_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o calumniate_v those_o who_o speak_v ill_o of_o they_o or_o the_o roman_a church_n they_o be_v under_o no_o moral_a obligation_n to_o heretic_n but_o may_v cheat_v they_o without_o dishonesty_n violate_v oath_n make_v unto_o they_o without_o perjury_n rob_v they_o without_o theft_n kill_v they_o without_o murder_n and_o lie_v to_o they_o or_o concern_v they_o without_o the_o violation_n of_o the_o measure_n of_o truth_n or_o justice_n nor_o be_v it_o any_o way_n strange_a that_o while_o they_o may_v meritorious_o destroy_v we_o they_o shall_v with_o innocency_n defame_v we_o for_o by_o the_o same_o principle_n that_o no_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v with_o heretic_n no_o faith_n be_v due_a to_o they_o when_o we_o meet_v with_o such_o maxim_n as_o that_o servant_n owe_v no_o fidelity_n to_o heretical_a master_n nor_o child_n obedience_n to_o heretical_a parent_n nor_o wife_n conjugal_a duty_n to_o heretical_a husband_n nor_o subject_n loyalty_n to_o heretical_a prince_n ought_v we_o after_o this_o to_o be_v surprise_v upon_o find_v it_o establish_v as_o a_o receive_a doctrine_n at_o least_o of_o the_o jesuit_n that_o they_o may_v innocent_o slander_v and_o defame_v heretic_n of_o whatsoever_o quality_n and_o degree_n and_o as_o by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o principle_n in_o this_o matter_n i_o can_v make_v a_o shift_n to_o understand_v balsec_n cocleus_n sanders_n etc._n etc._n in_o their_o virulent_a and_o slanderous_a book_n against_o calvin_n luther_n and_o other_o bless_a reformer_n without_o find_v myself_o oblige_v to_o believe_v they_o in_o any_o one_o word_n they_o speak_v to_o the_o defamation_n of_o those_o who_o they_o accuse_v so_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n i_o judge_v myself_o conduct_v not_o to_o give_v credit_n to_o any_o papist_n speak_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o a_o heretic_n unless_o i_o be_v otherwise_o assure_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o he_o declare_v but_o second_o if_o you_o will_v add_v to_o this_o that_o they_o be_v countenance_v by_o the_o maxim_n of_o their_o divine_n to_o defame_v any_o one_o of_o what_o religion_n soever_o he_o be_v that_o do_v they_o a_o injury_n we_o may_v then_o be_v full_o arm_v against_o all_o impression_n of_o disbelieve_v the_o plot_n that_o the_o late_a scribbler_n be_v design_v to_o raise_v or_o beget_v in_o all_o the_o casuistical_a
