in_o england_n where_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o than_o my_o good_a lord_n choose_v that_o be_v fautor_n of_o this_o romish_a doctrine_n my_o country_n be_v in_o a_o far_o better_a case_n than_o i_o think_v it_o to_o be_v and_o true_o this_o noble_a project_n of_o the_o late_a lord_n choose_v be_v condemn_v by_o all_o protestant_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o take_v air_n in_o france_n not_o only_o for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o ungospel_n way_n of_o proceed_v and_o savour_v strong_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o rome_n which_o they_o abhor_v but_o because_o it_o put_v their_o king_n in_o mind_n of_o a_o project_n he_o be_v very_o much_o incline_v to_o viz._n to_o make_v a_o like_a law_n here_o that_o none_o but_o a_o roman_n catholic_n shall_v ever_o be_v king_n or_o bear_v any_o office_n or_o trust_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o certain_o if_o it_o shall_v ever_o please_v god_n for_o our_o sin_n to_o suffer_v our_o prince_n to_o backslide_v into_o romish_a idolatry_n and_o superstition_n we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o pray_v and_o like_o our_o glorious_a ancestor_n in_o queen_n mary_n day_n suffer_v quiet_o when_o we_o can_v fly_v and_o therefore_o i_o wonder_v that_o you_o will_v so_o oblique_o reflect_v upon_o the_o bishop_n and_o censure_v they_o for_o do_v that_o which_o in_o honour_n and_o duty_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v and_o represent_v this_o to_o their_o disgrace_n which_o all_o good_a and_o well_o advise_v protestant_n must_v needs_o commond_v they_o for_o if_o they_o will_v be_v impartial_a but_o put_v the_o case_n such_o a_o act_n be_v make_v who_o can_v see_v the_o bad_a consequence_n thereof_o the_o union_n of_o great_a bri●tain_n will_v be_v break_v upon_o it_o and_o war_n entail_v upon_o both_o kingdom_n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o none_o but_o a_o protestant_n shall_v succeed_v now_o faction_n still_o increase_v none_o perhaps_o within_o a_o while_n will_v be_v think_v sit_v to_o inherit_v the_o crown_n but_o a_o presbyterian_a etc._n etc._n for_o you_o that_o be_v use_v to_o talk_v of_o number_n and_o strength_n can_v best_o tell_v how_o numerous_a and_o powerful_a they_o be_v that_o be_v possess_v with_o as_o firm_a a_o prejudice_n against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n itself_o deny_v communion_n equal_o with_o both_o and_o who_o educate_v their_o child_n in_o perfect_a hatred_n of_o the_o one_o as_o the_o genuine_a daughter_n of_o the_o other_o i_o have_v write_v all_o this_o to_o present_v to_o your_o view_n what_o perhaps_o in_o the_o hurry_n of_o zeal_n you_o have_v not_o have_v time_n to_o consider_v and_o though_o i_o think_v it_o very_o impious_a and_o unreasonable_a to_o debar_v any_o such_o prince_n from_o the_o crown_n upon_o this_o account_n yet_o can_v we_o imagine_v the_o government_n be_v to_o be_v form_v again_o i_o will_v be_v as_o zealous_a for_o this_o condition_n as_o the_o great_a zealot_n of_o they_o all_o and_o be_o as_o sorry_a as_o any_o other_o good_a protestant_n that_o it_o be_v not_o always_o one_o of_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o england_n though_o now_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o make_v it_o such_o you_o tell_v i_o also_o that_o my_o lord_n intend_v to_o come_v and_o live_v in_o london_n i_o suppose_v it_o may_v be_v under_o pretence_n to_o secure_v his_o person_n from_o the_o papist_n but_o i_o wish_v it_o may_v not_o be_v with_o a_o design_n to_o act_v over_o the_o same_o thing_n under_o a_o pretence_n of_o secure_v the_o protestant_n which_o the_o duke_n of_o guise_n act_v in_o paris_n under_o a_o seem_a zeal_n to_o secure_v the_o popish_a religion_n the_o reason_n that_o make_v i_o fear_v it_o be_v the_o conformity_n of_o our_o time_n in_o england_n with_o those_o in_o france_n as_o you_o may_v see_v by_o the_o follow_a account_n the_o duke_n who_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o high_a spirit_n and_o not_o able_a to_o bear_v the_o least_o disgrace_n be_v remove_v by_o henry_n iii_o
