he_o then_o judge_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o take_v the_o oath_n but_o upon_o further_a search_n into_o the_o matter_n he_o find_v that_o his_o scruple_n how_o strong_a argument_n soever_o they_o seem_v to_o he_o for_o some_o time_n yet_o after_o a_o full_a search_n into_o they_o they_o have_v no_o real_a ground_n and_o therefore_o think_v he_o may_v lawful_o take_v they_o and_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a all_o good_a christian_n ought_v to_o conclude_v till_o they_o certain_o know_v the_o contrary_n i_o dare_v say_v you_o dare_v not_o swear_v that_o the_o doctor_n have_v no_o other_o end_n in_o take_v the_o oath_n than_o you_o allege_v which_o show_v how_o void_a of_o charity_n you_o be_v to_o charge_v so_o eminent_a a_o divine_a with_o the_o high_a crime_n which_o yet_o you_o dare_v not_o swear_v he_o be_v guilty_a of_o and_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v you_o dare_v swear_v it_o every_o body_n that_o shall_v hear_v it_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o you_o be_v a_o person_n that_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o a_o oath_n since_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o no_o body_n can_v know_v what_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n but_o only_o god_n and_o what_o you_o charge_v the_o doctor_n with_o in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o answer_n be_v level_v as_o much_o against_o many_o of_o our_o worthy_a clergy_n as_o against_o the_o doctor_n since_o not_o a_o few_o of_o they_o preach_v the_o same_o doctrine_n the_o doctor_n do_v nay_o the_o same_o argument_n may_v be_v stretch_v as_o far_o against_o those_o that_o still_o scruple_n the_o oath_n since_o it_o will_v be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o prove_v even_o they_o to_o have_v act_v contrary_a more_o or_o less_o to_o what_o they_o preach_v and_o maintain_v some_o year_n ago_o if_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o about_o the_o time_n of_o his_o present_a majesty_n come_v over_o very_o few_o of_o they_o be_v hear_v to_o preach_v up_o nonresistance_n nor_o do_v any_o of_o they_o mind_n the_o people_n to_o stand_v by_o king_n james_n beside_o that_o even_o they_o who_o be_v for_o the_o continue_n of_o king_n james_n be_v yet_o for_o tie_v up_o his_o hand_n which_o if_o we_o look_v back_o but_o a_o few_o year_n we_o shall_v find_v to_o have_v be_v rank_v by_o they_o among_o the_o most_o heinous_a sin_n so_o that_o one_o may_v see_v how_o true_a a_o son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n you_o be_v to_o start_v a_o argument_n against_o the_o doctor_n which_o may_v if_o conclude_v be_v stretch_v against_o most_o of_o the_o divine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o be_o afraid_a you_o be_v a_o churchman_n breed_v up_o in_o mr._n lobb_n or_o father_n peter_n school_n from_o your_o next_o answer_n we_o may_v shrewd_o guess_v whatever_o you_o pretend_v that_o you_o be_v for_o the_o man_n have_v his_o mare_n again_o as_o you_o use_v to_o cant_n in_o your_o cabal_n for_o you_o be_v please_v to_o compare_v dr._n shall_z be_v case_n to_o no_o other_o than_o a_o servant_n take_v a_o oath_n to_o keep_v his_o master_n secret_n which_o he_o be_v always_o oblige_v to_o do_v and_o which_o he_o can_v have_v no_o plausible_a pretence_n for_o the_o break_n of_o and_o you_o be_v please_v to_o discant_fw-la upon_o it_o at_o large_a but_o your_o comparison_n be_v so_o wide_a of_o the_o purpose_n that_o it_o be_v obvious_a to_o any_o that_o can_v but_o read_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o in_o your_o next_o answer_n you_o say_v how_o can_v their_o majesty_n confide_v in_o such_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o pair_n of_o conscience_n one_o to_o take_v the_o oath_n and_o the_o other_o to_o let_v they_o alone_o i_o wonder_v any_o man_n shall_v pester_v the_o world_n with_o such_o nonsense_n because_o a_o man_n scruple_n a_o thing_n for_o some_o time_n and_o afterward_o see_v his_o scruple_n have_v not_o such_o weight_n in_o they_o as_o he_o at_o first_o apprehend_v they_o have_v therefore_o he_o must_v have_v a_o pair_n of_o conscience_n it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v amiss_o if_o thou_o in_o stead_n of_o that_o poor_a maid_n in_o woodstreet_n have_v meet_v with_o such_o a_o whip_n mistress_n that_o she_o may_v either_o have_v whip_v thy_o puny_a soul_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o beat_v out_o thy_o insipid_a brain_n or_o beat_v more_o into_o thou_o for_o if_o we_o serious_o consider_v the_o matter_n their_o majesty_n have_v more_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o dr._n sherlock_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v trust_v than_o some_o that_o take_v the_o oath_n hand_n over_o head_n and_o will_v be_v as_o ready_a it_o may_v be_v to_o break_v they_o whenever_o occasion_n serve_v since_o he_o will_v not_o take_v they_o till_o he_o satisfy_v all_o his_o scruple_n which_o it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o some_o of_o they_o do_v and_o whether_o they_o have_v act_v according_o since_o they_o take_v they_o what_o you_o say_v in_o answer_n next_o be_v of_o the_o same_o bran_n for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v engage_v in_o a_o faction_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o endeavour_v to_o carry_v on_o a_o faction_n with_o all_o eagerness_n and_o industry_n by_o word_n and_o write_v etc._n etc._n and_o another_o thing_n when_o one_o be_v ask_v his_o

who_o i_o may_v reckon_v you_o our_o london_n apprentice_n as_o many_o of_o our_o jacobite_n levites_n have_v do_v some_o of_o who_o have_v have_v the_o law_n inflict_v upon_o they_o though_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o many_o honest_a man_n with_o too_o great_a a_o mixture_n of_o lenity_n which_o have_v render_v other_o too_o malapert_a and_o occasion_v not_o a_o few_n be_v lead_v aside_o with_o their_o dissimulation_n and_o not_o the_o latter_a since_o they_o do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o promote_v a_o faction_n but_o only_o if_o any_o scrupulous_a person_n come_v to_o they_o for_o advice_n

so_o your_o ignorance_n next_o make_v you_o believe_v it_o a_o strange_a paradox_n that_o the_o doctor_n seem_v so_o concern_v at_o some_o person_n take_v the_o oath_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n believe_v they_o to_o be_v honest_a men._n why_o goodman_n fool_n this_o be_v not_o so_o strange_a a_o paradox_n as_o your_o weak_a brain_n fancy_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n to_o be_v make_v but_o many_o honest_a man_n do_v many_o thing_n and_o mean_v honest_o which_o yet_o be_v not_o justifiable_a at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o suppose_v mr._n apprentice_n you_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o st._n peter_n be_v a_o honest_a man_n when_o he_o do_v those_o thing_n for_o which_o he_o be_v reprove_v by_o st._n paul_n though_o there_o be_v something_o of_o humane_a frailty_n in_o the_o case_n nay_o st._n paul_n himself_o declare_v that_o when_o he_o persecute_v the_o christian_n he_o do_v it_o in_o sincerity_n think_v that_o he_o do_v god_n good_a service_n all_o good_a churchman_n be_v hearty_o concern_v for_o the_o dissenter_n go_v off_o from_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o will_v be_v very_o uncharitable_a to_o conclude_v that_o none_o of_o they_o be_v honest_a men._n not_o to_o say_v more_o to_o show_v how_o unreasonable_o you_o conclude_v this_o so_o strange_a a_o paradox_n you_o next_o question_v the_o doctor_n since_o he_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o their_o majesty_n king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n why_o not_o as_o lawful_a to_o take_v the_o oath_n then_o as_o now_o john_n sheep_n because_o the_o doctor_n think_v it_o not_o so_o lawful_a which_o be_v sufficient_a for_o he_o since_o he_o be_v endeavour_v all_o he_o can_v to_o satisfy_v himself_o in_o this_o point_n nor_o can_v he_o be_v blame_v with_o reason_n for_o

of_o england_n do_v by_o their_o representative_n and_o be_v universal_o approve_v which_o can_v be_v say_v of_o usurper_n but_o because_o of_o
