clause_n in_o the_o assembly_n catechism_n it_o will_v be_v some_o motive_n to_o the_o church_n party_n to_o lay_v aside_o their_o jealousy_n but_o till_o that_o be_v do_v they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v offend_v with_o their_o brethren_n of_o the_o church_n of_o ireland_n for_o desire_v such_o a_o security_n as_o may_v be_v consistent_a with_o their_o future_a safety_n three_o the_o sacramental_a test_n be_v fit_a and_o reasonable_a to_o be_v insist_v on_o as_o one_o branch_n of_o the_o church_n security_n first_o because_o it_o seem_v consonant_a to_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o dissenter_n in_o ireland_n be_v establish_v upon_o the_o same_o foot_n of_o indulgence_n withtheir_o brethren_n in_o england_n the_o church_n party_n shall_v be_v establish_v upon_o the_o same_o foot_n of_o security_n with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n second_o because_o it_o be_v design_v for_o two_o good_a end_n and_o purpose_n first_o to_o reconcile_v they_o to_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n by_o oblige_v they_o to_o 〈…〉_o second_o to_o praeclude_v they_o the_o capacity_n of_o do_v themselves_o and_o we_o mischief_n by_o admit_v they_o to_o place_n of_o trust_n and_o power_n to_o persuade_v the_o church_n party_n to_o lay_v this_o test_n aside_o be_v every_o way_n as_o unreasonable_a as_o if_o the_o french_a king_n shall_v persuade_v the_o dutch_a to_o break_v down_o all_o their_o dikes_n and_o dismantle_v their_o garrison_n which_o be_v their_o great_a strength_n and_o security_n against_o his_o encroachment_n nor_o will_v the_o objection_n against_o it_o be_v of_o any_o moment_n with_o he_o that_o consider_v these_o follow_a particular_n first_o that_o the_o sacramental_a test_n be_v design_v against_o the_o dissenter_n as_o well_o as_o the_o papist_n because_o the_o government_n of_o england_n think_v itself_o in_o equal_a danger_n from_o they_o both_o and_o though_o the_o title_n of_o the_o act_n may_v seem_v to_o favour_v the_o objection_n yet_o real_o it_o do_v not_o for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v to_o they_o that_o be_v verse_v in_o law_n that_o fair_a and_o specious_a title_n be_v frequent_o put_v to_o act_n to_o make_v they_o pass_v more_o easy_o with_o the_o people_n second_o that_o such_o a_o test_n be_v not_o against_o the_o common_a protestant_a interest_n of_o ireland_n it_o will_v neither_o discourage_v foreigner_n from_o plant_v here_o nor_o weaken_v the_o hand_n of_o our_o own_o country_n man_n against_o the_o common_a enemy_n it_o will_v not_o discourage_v foreigner_n who_o desire_v no_o more_o than_o freedom_n of_o trade_n and_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n witness_v the_o several_a family_n that_o come_v into_o this_o kingdom_n since_o the_o pass_n of_o the_o act_n 14_o and_o 15_o car._n ii_o for_o encouragement_n of_o protestant_a stranger_n nay_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v discourage_v from_o plant_v here_o so_o little_a averse_a to_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o the_o church_n that_o they_o blame_v our_o dissent_v brethren_n for_o their_o separation_n that_o many_o of_o they_o have_v unite_v themselves_o to_o our_o church_n and_o have_v be_v constant_a communicant_n in_o our_o worship_n witness_v several_a dutch_a family_n and_o the_o french_a congregation_n in_o st._n patrick_n church_n dublin_n and_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o more_o of_o they_o will_v conform_v do_v not_o our_o dissenter_n endeavour_v to_o sour_a their_o temper_n against_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n i_o remember_v the_o time_n when_o the_o dissenter_n support_v and_o encourage_v a_o french_a preacher_n to_o raise_v a_o schism_n in_o the_o french_a congregation_n at_o st._n patrick_n and_o i_o have_v be_v much_o misinform_v if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v busy_a since_o this_o happy_a revolution_n with_o the_o french_a refugee_n to_o persuade_v they_o not_o to_o join_v in_o communion_n with_o our_o church_n and_o as_o the_o press_n of_o this_o test_n will_v not_o discourage_v foreign_a protestant_n so_o it_o will_v not_o weaken_v the_o hand_n of_o our_o country_n man_n against_o the_o common_a enemy_n of_o our_o religion_n they_o have_v other_o reason_n to_o engage_v they_o in_o the_o common_a cause_n against_o popery_n than_o such_o as_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o hope_n of_o recompense_n by_o office_n and_o employment_n viz._n the_o

of_o massacre_n and_o the_o danger_n of_o be_v plunder_v of_o all_o their_o worldly_a substance_n these_o i_o presume_v be_v the_o great_a incentives_n to_o the_o generous_a person_n in_o derry_n crum_n and_o inniskillin_n to_o arm_v themselves_o in_o the_o common_a cause_n of_o their_o brethren_n and_o not_o the_o uncertain_a hope_n of_o enjoy_n office_n and_o employment_n which_o all_o of_o they_o can_v not_o pretend_v to_o and_o most_o be_v disappoint_v of_o and_o for_o which_o many_o to_o this_o day_n have_v receive_v no_o manner_n of_o recompense_n save_v only_o their_o share_n and_o part_n in_o the_o common_a deliverance_n and_o if_o these_o have_v be_v sufficient_a motive_n for_o the_o time_n past_a to_o engage_v they_o in_o a_o defensive_a war_n they_o may_v and_o will_v be_v as_o urgent_a for_o the_o future_a notwithstanding_o all_o the_o surmise_n of_o the_o dissenter_n case_v to_o the_o contrary_n three_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n that_o the_o test_n shall_v be_v impose_v here_o because_o they_o have_v retain_v it_o there_o and_o preserve_v it_o as_o a_o pattern_n for_o ireland_n to_o imitate_v and_o since_o in_o the_o act_n make_v in_o england_n relate_v to_o this_o kingdom_n they_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o 〈◊〉_d the_o imposition_n of_o it_o it_o be_v more_o than_o a_o presumption_n that_o they_o think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o leave_v ireland_n to_o its_o own_o liberty_n in_o provide_v such_o security_n for_o its_o self_n as_o by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o its_o parliament_n shall_v be_v think_v convenient_a it_o be_v their_o work_n to_o secure_v we_o from_o those_o danger_n that_o be_v bring_v upon_o we_o by_o the_o irish_a papist_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o continuance_n of_o they_o in_o case_n k._n i_o have_v be_v restore_v to_o the_o throne_n but_o not_o to_o abridge_v our_o liberty_n of_o provide_v for_o ourselves_o in_o other_o matter_n relate_v to_o the_o public_a safety_n and_o the_o author_n may_v as_o well_o have_v argue_v because_o they_o mention_v only_o the_o oath_n of_o fidelity_n and_o the_o test_n against_o popery_n that_o they_o do_v therefore_o think_v the_o circumstance_n of_o ireland_n incapable_a of_o any_o far_a security_n nay_o it_o will_v follow_v from_o his_o principle_n that_o they_o intend_v no_o toleration_n for_o ireland_n because_o they_o do_v not_o mention_v it_o in_o their_o act._n four_o the_o impose_v of_o it_o be_v not_o unreasonable_a if_o the_o dissenter_n be_v better_a without_o a_o bill_n of_o indulgence_n by_o the_o favour_n of_o his_o majesty_n it_o be_v their_o best_a way_n to_o stick_v to_o that_o and_o not_o to_o press_v for_o it_o by_o a_o law_n though_o with_o submission_n to_o the_o author_n politic_n it_o be_v much_o better_a for_o they_o to_o have_v a_o settle_a toleration_n than_o a_o precarious_a indulgence_n if_o they_o think_v the_o test_n a_o clog_n to_o their_o ambition_n or_o liberty_n they_o know_v how_o to_o evade_v it_o by_o their_o doctrine_n of_o occasional_a communion_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v invent_v to_o lull_v the_o conscience_n of_o their_o undiscerning_a zealot_n asleep_a and_o to_o capacitate_v they_o for_o employment_n if_o some_o deserve_a man_n must_v lose_v their_o present_a employment_n and_o other_o their_o future_a hope_n of_o they_o by_o the_o imposition_n of_o the_o test_n there_o be_v a_o ready_a way_n for_o they_o to_o extricare_fw-la themselves_o out_o of_o the_o dilemma_n by_o endeavour_v to_o be_v better_o inform_v and_o lay_v aside_o their_o nice_a and_o groundless_a scruple_n and_o i_o presume_v the_o generality_n of_o the_o dissenter_n be_v not_o of_o such_o tender_a and_o squeamish_a stomach_n but_o that_o they_o can_v digest_v a_o much_o hard_a morsel_n than_o the_o test_n rather_o than_o quit_v a_o beneficial_a employment_n the_o impose_v of_o this_o be_v not_o to_o treat_v they_o with_o the_o same_o rigour_n that_o we_o do_v the_o papist_n but_o to_o rouse_v they_o into_o a_o consideration_n of_o their_o scruple_n and_o to_o open_v a_o door_n of_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n to_o they_o by_o lay_v a_o
