it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o piety_n it_o must_v be_v a_o duty_n and_o then_o instead_o of_o petition_v the_o king_n to_o do_v it_o they_o shall_v have_v send_v in_o some_o of_o their_o dissent_v clergy_n i_o mean_v dissent_v from_o the_o present_a settlement_n not_o the_o church_n to_o let_v his_o majesty_n see_v the_o great_a hazard_n of_o omit_v such_o a_o necessary_a and_o bind_a duty_n what_o narrow_a and_o ridiculous_a notion_n have_v some_o people_n of_o act_n of_o piety_n sure_o it_o be_v in_o their_o opinion_n another_o great_a act_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o our_o author_n to_o come_v the_o length_n of_o lambeth_n from_o his_o cell_n in_o gloucestershire_n mere_o to_o seek_v the_o fatherly_a blessing_n of_o the_o holy_a bless_a etc._n etc._n primate_n as_o he_o call_v he_o as_o be_v of_o a_o great_a value_n than_o those_o of_o other_o that_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n and_o concur_v with_o the_o present_a settlement_n our_o author_n be_v mention_v the_o honour_n his_o majesty_n acquire_v in_o pass_v the_o boyne_n put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o great_a expectation_n we_o be_v in_o at_o that_o time_n of_o the_o efficacy_n this_o success_n of_o the_o king_n may_v have_v have_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o our_o suspend_v clergy_n for_o we_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o may_v have_v prove_v a_o convince_v argument_n to_o remove_v the_o scruple_n that_o can_v not_o be_v overcome_v at_o any_o time_n before_o but_o we_o be_v mistake_v for_o once_o though_o we_o have_v yet_o some_o weak_a glimpse_n of_o hope_n that_o the_o subdue_a of_o limerick_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o ireland_n beyond_o the_o cannon_n may_v help_v to_o open_v some_o people_n eye_n once_o for_o all_o who_o know_v but_o the_o see_v of_o the_o suspend_v bishop_n may_v be_v leave_v vacant_a till_o that_o time_n and_o then_o they_o may_v be_v reinstate_v in_o they_o without_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o address_n from_o our_o gloucester_n grand-jury_n or_o a_o apology_n from_o our_o author_n but_o alas_o we_o have_v mistake_v mighty_o our_o author_n and_o his_o partner_n in_o this_o address_n we_o think_v they_o have_v be_v man_n a_o little_a out_o of_o the_o road_n of_o the_o world_n and_o through_o their_o confinement_n to_o the_o country_n little_o acquaint_v with_o what_o pass_v on_o the_o public_a theatre_n which_o we_o deem_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o venture_n upon_o such_o a_o ridiculous_a address_n no_o the_o gentleman_n be_v extraordinary_o acquaint_v at_o rome_n and_o they_o be_v intimate_o conversant_a in_o the_o pope_n palace_n and_o in_o the_o college_n of_o cardinal_n for_o it_o be_v there_o he_o find_v the_o news_n of_o the_o bishop_n suspension_n be_v joyful_o receive_v yea_o they_o have_v advice_n thence_o that_o the_o general_n of_o the_o jesuit_n receive_v the_o express_a with_o triumph_n and_o surprise_v pleasure_n the_o truth_n be_v one_o will_v be_v almost_o ready_a to_o think_v our_o gloucester_n grand-jury_n have_v keep_v correspondence_n with_o rome_n and_o with_o no_o less_o than_o the_o pope_n the_o college_n of_o cardinal_n and_o the_o general_n of_o the_o jesuit_n yea_o that_o they_o have_v send_v this_o express_a our_o author_n mention_n but_o real_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o acquit_v the_o honest_a gentleman_n of_o any_o such_o correspondence_n and_o i_o believe_v their_o acquaintance_n at_o rome_n but_o small_a they_o talk_v so_o rediculous_o of_o thing_n there_o it_o be_v true_a if_o any_o body_n have_v be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o talk_v of_o the_o suspend_v bishop_n at_o rome_n they_o may_v indeed_o laugh_v at_o the_o measure_n of_o some_o man_n who_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n once_o for_o the_o liberty_n and_o religion_n of_o their_o country_n and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v vindicate_v in_o a_o public_a settlement_n turn_v about_o they_o neither_o know_v well_o whether_o nor_o wherefore_o i_o be_o of_o the_o opinion_n we_o here_o at_o london_n will_v laugh_v hearty_o at_o the_o folly_n of_o any_o of_o the_o cardinal_n at_o rome_n that_o shall_v not_o concur_v hearty_o with_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v confirm_v or_o establish_v their_o own_o order_n and_o church_n but_o shall_v stand_v out_o against_o it_o without_o tell_v the_o world_n wherefore_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v upon_o the_o like_a score_n even_o allow_v they_o to_o laugh_v at_o some_o of_o we_o here_o in_o england_n but_o at_o rome_n there_o will_v be_v more_o laugh_v at_o some_o people_n i_o have_v characterise_a than_o at_o the_o rest_n of_o england_n for_o their_o measure_n towards_o they_o the_o italian_n be_v general_o wise_a than_o to_o laugh_v at_o what_o they_o will_v do_v themselves_o if_o they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o case_n and_o if_o our_o author_n be_v so_o well_o acquaint_v there_o pray_v let_v he_o acquaint_v we_o where_o in_o all_o that_o country_n he_o have_v meet_v with_o any_o of_o the_o clergy_n enjoy_v their_o office_n and_o benefice_n without_o acknowledge_v the_o government_n where_o they_o lie_v he_o sum_v up_o his_o pamphlet_n with_o a_o new_a rhapsody_n of_o ill_a word_n and_o hot_a calumny_n against_o the_o dissenter_n and_o all_o they_o that_o have_v condemn_v the_o gloucester_n address_v for_o he_o put_v they_o two_o always_o in_o one_o bottom_n the_o truth_n be_v i_o be_o weary_v with_o this_o stuff_n and_o must_v even_o leave_v the_o gentleman_n to_o fetch_v his_o breath_n a_o little_a after_o so_o violent_a a_o vomit_n least_o by_o stir_v up_o this_o envenom_a matter_n i_o make_v myself_o sick_a as_o well_o as_o he_o but_o if_o any_o of_o the_o dissenter_n be_v at_o pain_n to_o throw_v away_o as_o much_o time_n as_o to_o answer_v such_o silly_a accusatron_n they_o may_v for_o i_o for_o i_o be_o neither_o concern_v nor_o have_v time_n to_o do_v it_o finis_fw-la
