protestant_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o popish_a edict_n of_o charles_n the_o five_o of_o germany_n they_o take_v the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o protestant_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o

a_o desperate_a piece_n of_o bigotry_n to_o pay_v this_o projector_n back_o in_o his_o own_o coin_n as_o the_o civil_a government_n be_v high_o concern_v to_o discountenance_v for_o this_o dissipate_v

few_o discern_a person_n guilty_a of_o that_o mistake_n which_o this_o projector_n will_v seem_v to_o rectify_v in_o that_o case_n but_o before_o he_o pretend_v to_o remove_v the_o other_o mistake_v as_o he_o call_v it_o let_v he_o attempt_v to_o do_v a_o miracle_n that_o be_v to_o remove_v mountain_n betwixt_o protestant_n we_o must_v understand_v those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o
