pull_v the_o nut_n out_o of_o the_o fire_n with_o the_o cat_n foot_n but_o both_o the_o action_n and_o design_n be_v whole_o the_o monky_n and_o not_o the_o cat_n be_v and_o this_o gentleman_n make_v so_o many_o ugly_a grimaces_n through_o his_o whole_a pamphlet_n against_o all_o christian_a church_n as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o england_n that_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o see_v who_o be_v master_n of_o this_o movement_n it_o be_v true_a say_v he_o he_o do_v sometime_o seem_v to_o boggle_v a_o little_a at_o the_o deist_n argument_n bring_v against_o the_o truth_n and_o in_o scandal_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n but_o he_o do_v it_o after_o such_o a_o yawn_a rate_n that_o you_o will_v believe_v he_o be_v more_o than_o half_a a-sleep_o when_o he_o do_v it_o but_o however_o it_o be_v as_o to_o that_o matter_n yet_o all_o they_o bring_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n he_o swallow_v whole_a and_o do_v not_o only_o allow_v but_o improve_v they_o so_o that_o whatver_o disguise_n he_o will_v appear_v under_o in_o other_o respect_n yet_o all_o that_o be_v say_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v plain_o his_o own_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o

though_o the_o woman_n say_v it_o be_v her_o dog_n but_o pray_v sir_n say_v i_o how_o can_v this_o be_v when_o page_n the_o 8_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o he_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o it_o be_v well_o for_o he_o he_o be_v of_o the_o bishop_n church_n for_o without_o a_o dutiful_a allegiance_n to_o the_o bishop_n he_o can_v not_o hold_v the_o place_n he_o now_o enjoy_v i_o be_o glad_a sir_n say_v my_o friend_n to_o hear_v that_o some_o man_n may_v hold_v place_n under_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o be_v not_o of_o the_o de_fw-fr facto-ship_n and_o this_o

the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o by_o this_o instance_n he_o have_v let_v the_o world_n see_v that_o a_o man_n may_v hold_v a_o place_n and_o yet_o pay_v very_o small_a duty_n to_o the_o bishop_n not_o that_o i_o doubt_v say_v he_o but_o that_o he_o be_v old_a enough_o to_o hold_v a_o place_n under_o any_o church_n whatever_o and_o be_v their_o shibole_v the_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la or_o

the_o people_n that_o so_o the_o king_n may_v hold_v his_o place_n under_o he_o and_o as_o for_o his_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n he_o may_v sir_n say_v he_o for_o all_o as_o i_o know_v if_o you_o will_v allow_v judas_n to_o belong_v to_o jesus_n and_o the_o twelve_o or_o ascaride_n to_o belong_v to_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man._n after_o he_o have_v say_v this_o sir_n say_v i_o we_o will_v have_v do_v if_o you_o please_v with_o the_o title_n and_o i_o will_v beg_v the_o favour_n of_o you_o to_o give_v i_o your_o judgement_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o discourse_n judas_n it_o be_v what_o i_o have_v be_v long_o a_o wait_n for_o tim._n i_o tell_v you_o then_o sir_n say_v he_o that_o if_o you_o will_v believe_v all_o this_o author_n say_v you_o may_v believe_v enough_o if_o only_o what_o he_o prove_v you_o can_v believe_v nothing_o for_o if_o you_o will_v not_o take_v his_o word_n for_o his_o story_n there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o they_o and_o i_o dare_v bold_o say_v that_o take_v ten_o page_n together_o through_o his_o whole_a book_n and_o there_o be_v hardly_o one_o word_n of_o truth_n in_o they_o or_o if_o there_o be_v it_o may_v honest_o be_v say_v of_o he_o what_o he_o colourable_o say_v of_o the_o deist_n page_n the_o 14_o that_o he_o stretch_v his_o conclusion_n beyond_o his_o premise_n the_o main_a of_o his_o building_n be_v raise_v on_o the_o shiboleth_n as_o he_o call_v they_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n and_o the_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la title_n there_o be_v a_o little_a colour_n of_o

for_o the_o great_a part_n as_o false_a as_o the_o foundation_n of_o his_o building_n be_v rot_v in_o short_a sir_n say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o discourse_n write_v with_o that_o little_a truth_n and_o less_o argument_n with_o that_o incomparable_a malice_n against_o all_o settle_a church_n particular_o that_o of_o england_n against_o christianity_n itself_o in_o all_o its_o holy_a mystery_n more_o especial_o that_o of_o the_o divinity_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n that_o i_o can_v think_v those_o paper_n can_v deserve_v any_o better_a fate_n than_o to_o expire_v in_o a_o like_a place_n where_o the_o author_n be_v famous_a ancestor_n arius_n do_v and_o sir_n say_v he_o i_o honest_o confess_v to_o you_o that_o those_o i_o have_v of_o they_o have_v sometime_o since_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n thus_o sir_n you_o have_v hear_v in_o part_n the_o thought_n of_o my_o friend_n upon_o this_o pamphlet_n pray_v now_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a what_o be_v your_o thought_n of_o he_o judas_n why_o true_o sir_n to_o deal_v plain_o with_o you_o i_o think_v he_o a_o priestridden_a ass_n one_o that_o have_v more_o ear_n than_o brain_n that_o hear_v and_o receive_v whatsoever_o the_o priest_n please_v to_o put_v into_o his_o head_n and_o have_v no_o judgement_n to_o distinguish_v of_o thing_n but_o as_o for_o my_o friend_n the_o author_n of_o this_o pamphlet_n so_o i_o call_v he_o for_o so_o he_o be_v i_o think_v he_o next_o the_o honourable_a s._n r._n h._n the_o best_a distinguisher_n in_o the_o world_n he_o have_v that_o acumen_fw-la ingenii_n from_o his_o infancy_n that_o he_o be_v use_v to_o slit_v mote_n in_o the_o sun_n when_o he_o be_v but_o four_o year_n old_a and_o now_o he_o be_v above_o threescore_o he_o can_v he_o say_v slit_v a_o hair_n without_o spectacle_n in_o short_a sir_n i_o believe_v that_o you_o can_v but_o see_v that_o he_o have_v distinguish_v so_o nice_o between_o religion_n and_o priest-craft_n that_o he_o have_v make_v all_o ambitious_a priest_n to_o stink_v even_o from_o aaron_n down_o to_o this_o day_n and_o have_v turn_v the_o edge_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n caution_n to_o young_a traveller_n page_n 5_o so_o sharp_o against_o their_o own_o throat_n that_o he_o have_v distinguish_v they_o forever_o out_o of_o their_o gain_n that_o way_n by_o make_v it_o plain_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o holy_a cheat_n among_o the_o clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o among_o those_o of_o rome_n and_o now_o sir_n since_o you_o have_v have_v my_o judgement_n so_o free_o of_o your_o friend_n pray_v let_v i_o have_v you_o so_o of_o i_o and_o of_o his_o discourse_n tim._n i_o will_v sir_n as_o far_o as_o concern_v the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o no_o far_o let_v other_o answer_v for_o themselves_o and_o i_o will_v do_v it_o only_o on_o this_o supposition_n too_o that_o when_o i_o charge_v this_o author_n with_o what_o be_v say_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n you_o do_v not_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v say_v by_o this_o or_o other_o deist_n and_o not_o by_o he_o for_o beside_o that_o this_o will_v breed_v a_o endless_a confusion_n in_o our_o discourse_n if_o the_o charge_n that_o be_v make_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v answer_v it_o matter_n not_o under_o who_o name_n it_o be_v do_v but_o i_o can_v think_v of_o a_o just_a way_n than_o do_v it_o under_o this_o author_n for_o the_o cause_n and_o quarrel_n be_v whole_o he_o though_o like_o a_o coward_n he_o hide_v his_o own_o head_n and_o thrust_v other_o man_n forward_o to_o fight_v it_o for_o he_o do_v not_o think_v therefore_o sir_n that_o in_o the_o judgement_n i_o shall_v give_v of_o and_o answer_v i_o shall_v make_v to_o this_o pamphlet_n that_o like_o a_o gladiator_n i_o will_v go_v to_o fence_v with_o half_a a_o dozen_o man_n at_o once_o when_o it_o be_v obvious_a that_o all_o the_o thrust_v they_o

say_v he_o this_o author_n can_v have_v any_o ground_n to_o hope_n for_o what_o he_o say_v at_o last_o that_o have_v read_v what_o he_o say_v before_o so_o that_o this_o gentleman_n seem_v to_o i_o say_v my_o friend_n to_o have_v the_o honesty_n of_o the_o good_a old_a fox_n who_o after_o he_o have_v single_v out_o several_a of_o the_o flock_n and_o devour_v they_o wipe_v his_o mouth_n after_o

say_v my_o friend_n i_o wonder_v this_o good_a gentleman_n in_o his_o great_a fit_a of_o charity_n and_o devotion_n have_v not_o wish_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o bishop_n double_v also_o that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o pull_n of_o their_o feather_n and_o the_o large_a share_n in_o the_o division_n of_o their_o land_n but_o i_o tell_v you_o sir_n continue_v he_o with_o vehemence_n that_o there_o be_v thousand_o and_o thousand_o of_o we_o gentleman_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o be_v not_o to_o be_v baffle_v out_o of_o our_o religion_n by_o a_o irreligious_a jest_n or_o two_o we_o be_v not_o beau_n of_o sixteen_o that_o we_o shall_v forego_v our_o faith_n in_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o hearken_v to_o the_o buffonery_n of_o a_o old_a infidel_n nor_o shall_v any_o man_n live_v persuade_v we_o that_o estate_n be_v proper_a only_o for_o man_n that_o wait_v at_o tavern_n and_o play_n and_o worse_a place_n while_o those_o that_o wait_v at_o the_o altar_n of_o god_n must_v

of_o christianity_n to_o hearken_v to_o this_o man_n reason_n till_o he_o have_v show_v a_o little_a more_o of_o it_o than_o he_o have_v do_v in_o this_o pamphlet_n or_o let_v it_o be_v as_o good_a as_o it_o will_v he_o will_v have_v much_o ado_n to_o persuade_v we_o that_o his_o blasphemous_a friend_n page_n 25._o can_v write_v as_o good_a a_o moral_a as_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o next_o time_n he_o come_v up_o to_o parliament_n it_o may_v be_v will_v tell_v we_o he_o can_v live_v as_o good_a a_o one_o too_o but_o if_o his_o friend_n say_v he_o be_v so_o very_o good_a at_o write_v

in_o fine_a sir_n say_v he_o this_o man_n will_v feign_v insinuate_v by_o one_o of_o his_o friend_n as_o he_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v page_n 27._o that_o all_o religion_n be_v whole_o lose_v in_o

live_v neither_o he_o nor_o his_o friend_n do_v seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v the_o person_n that_o be_v ever_o like_a to_o find_v it_o but_o if_o these_o man_n counsel_n add_v he_o and_o device_n shall_v stand_v there_o will_v quick_o be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n indeed_o pray_v sir_n say_v i_o what_o be_v your_o reason_n for_o this_o opinion_n because_o say_v he_o he_o that_o have_v but_o half_a a_o eye_n may_v see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o these_o man_n be_v to_o bring_v we_o all_o to_o deism_n and_o to_o beat_v out_o all_o reveal_v religion_n but_o if_o once_o

for_o the_o author_n of_o the_o growth_n of_o deism_n say_v page_z the_o first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o one_o shall_v suspect_v the_o gospel_n of_o forgery_n and_o page_n 25._o he_o
