popish_a adversary_n with_o great_a learning_n and_o answerable_a success_n since_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o late_a most_o horrid_a plot_n no_o man_n have_v be_v more_o forward_o than_o they_o to_o declare_v their_o abhorrency_n of_o all_o the_o false_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o roman_a synagogue_n and_o that_o general_o throughout_o the_o nation_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v animate_v as_o i_o believe_v they_o be_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v common_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n that_o do_v exceed_v they_o for_o the_o worthy_a discharge_n of_o their_o duty_n in_o that_o respect_n and_o be_v not_o these_o argument_n enough_o to_o assure_v we_o of_o their_o sincerity_n and_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n then_o that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v suspect_v for_o favourer_n of_o popery_n all_o of_o a_o sudden_a i_o must_v needs_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o imagine_v if_o it_o be_v not_o this_o that_o some_o be_v very_o angry_a with_o they_o because_o some_o of_o they_o take_v notice_n how_o the_o cloud_n do_v seem_v to_o drive_v from_o several_a quarter_n have_v be_v a_o little_a afraid_a that_o those_o tempestuous_a wind_n that_o be_v like_a to_o shipwreck_n church_n and_o state_n do_v not_o all_o blow_n from_o the_o same_o point_n of_o the_o compass_n and_o some_o have_v be_v most_o high_o provoke_v by_o this_o conjecture_n but_o i_o hope_v their_o impatience_n do_v not_o argue_v any_o thing_n of_o guilt_n however_o it_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a the_o papist_n themselves_o do_v not_o take_v we_o for_o their_o friend_n any_o more_o than_o we_o do_v they_o for_o we_o they_o have_v be_v perpetual_o bend_v the_o main_a of_o their_o force_n against_o the_o church_n as_o it_o be_v now_o by_o law_n establish_v they_o have_v encourage_v our_o division_n and_o to_o this_o end_n have_v send_v abroad_o their_o emissary_n in_o divers_a shape_n to_o exercise_v their_o pretend_a gift_n in_o private_a and_o of_o this_o we_o have_v unquestionable_a evidence_n and_o example_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o papist_n indeed_o in_o masquerade_n we_o may_v easy_o know_v where_o to_o find_v they_o they_o have_v be_v very_o kind_a to_o dissenter_n and_o plead_v very_o earnest_o for_o their_o liberty_n it_o be_v not_o many_o year_n ago_o since_o they_o use_v what_o interest_n they_o have_v to_o procure_v they_o a_o indulgence_n and_o hope_v to_o bring_v their_o design_n about_o in_o that_o popular_a way_n this_o have_v be_v prove_v of_o

express_v their_o zeal_n against_o popery_n upon_o that_o occasion_n after_o this_o our_o dissent_v brethren_n do_v best_o understand_v what_o encouragement_n they_o have_v to_o make_v their_o application_n as_o some_o of_o they_o do_v to_o some_o of_o the_o principal_a man_n of_o the_o romish_a faction_n it_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v either_o a_o confidence_n of_o some_o good_a will_v they_o bear_v to_o they_o or_o else_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o hatred_n they_o have_v for_o we_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o determine_v which_o of_o these_o it_o may_v be_v but_o one_o of_o they_o no_o doubt_n it_o be_v but_o it_o be_v very_o unjust_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o be_v popish_o affect_v who_o they_o have_v endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o undermine_v when_o other_o that_o have_v be_v apparent_o befriend_v by_o they_o pass_v for_o good_a unsuspected_a protestant_n beside_o there_o be_v not_o any_o principle_n entertain_v by_o the_o church_n of_o

sufficiency_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o conceive_v themselves_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o if_o they_o can_v but_o learn_v the_o art_n of_o be_v handsome_o perjure_v and_o take_v oath_n not_o according_a to_o the_o plain_a intent_n of_o the_o law_n by_o which_o they_o be_v impose_v but_o with_o some_o mental_a reservation_n of_o their_o own_o i_o do_v not_o see_v almost_o what_o can_v be_v desire_v far_a to_o make_v up_o the_o complete_a mystery_n of_o jesuitism_n i_o do_v not_o say_v neither_o do_v i_o believe_v for_o all_o this_o that_o they_o be_v so_o much_o as_o ordinary_a papist_n either_o in_o or_o out_o of_o masquerade_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v give_v way_n to_o these_o idle_a suspicion_n we_o have_v certain_o as_o much_o cause_n to_o be_v jealous_a of_o they_o as_o they_o have_v of_o we_o but_o we_o have_v a_o manifest_a argument_n how_o frivolous_a these_o conceit_n be_v for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o in_o the_o late_a war_n and_o before_o the_o cry_n of_o popery_n be_v as_o great_a and_o the_o conformist_n be_v as_o confident_o accuse_v as_o they_o be_v now_o but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o test_n and_o they_o be_v violent_o eject_v out_o of_o their_o livelyhood_n and_o many_o of_o they_o force_v to_o fly_v into_o popish_a country_n there_o be_v but_o very_o few_o of_o they_o all_o and_o those_o of_o no_o very_a good_a character_n that_o do_v embrace_v the_o romish_a religion_n and_o what_o reason_n be_v there_o to_o suspect_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o incline_v that_o way_n now_o than_o they_o be_v

that_o be_v direct_v by_o law_n the_o clergy_n of_o all_o other_o have_v the_o least_o reason_n to_o be_v fond_a of_o it_o for_o they_o can_v but_o know_v themselves_o to_o lie_v the_o most_o open_a

contrary_a to_o their_o know_a interest_n be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o so_o suspicious_a as_o some_o other_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v but_o those_o that_o be_v bind_v by_o their_o profession_n

occasion_n of_o distaste_n but_o i_o have_v make_v use_n of_o that_o great_a plainness_n and_o freedom_n that_o seldom_o procure_v a_o man_n many_o friend_n but_o i_o hope_v none_o can_v be_v offend_v but_o those_o that_o be_v conscious_a to_o themselves_o of_o some_o unwarrantable_a design_n and_o if_o one_o chance_n to_o hit_v upon_o a_o sore_a place_n man_n will_v cry_v out_o and_o be_v angry_a though_o you_o touch_v they_o never_o so_o gentle_o what_o mistake_v i_o may_v have_v commit_v i_o be_o ready_a and_o willing_a to_o correct_v i_o think_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v the_o best_a constitute_v of_o any_o in_o the_o world_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o pattern_n of_o the_o first_o and_o pure_a time_n and_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o thing_n in_o

under_o their_o tongue_n and_o now_o for_o a_o happy_a union_n which_o all_o party_n pretend_v to_o desire_v i_o fear_v that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v have_v or_o that_o it_o will_v not_o endure_v
