A46363	Monsieur Jvriev's judgment upon the question of defending our religion by arms, with reflections upon the affairs of England, in his ninth pastoral letter of the third year faithfully translated out of French.; Lettres pastorales addressées aux fidèles de France qui gémissent sous la captivité de Babylon. Année 3. Lettre 9. English	Jurieu, Pierre, 1637-1713.	1689 (1689)	Wing J1204; ESTC R15972	19,775	36

royal-house_n in_o the_o country_n in_o the_o city_n of_o the_o realm_n ii_o it_o be_v the_o crime_n of_o high_a treason_n in_o the_o first_o degree_n against_o the_o state_n and_o the_o law_n to_o give_v reception_n to_o priest_n and_o monk_n within_o the_o kingdom_n how_o can_v this_o agree_v with_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o popish_a king_n who_o provide_v for_o covent_n of_o monk_n in_o his_o own_o palace_n and_o every_o city_n iii_o it_o be_v a_o crime_n forbid_v by_o the_o law_n and_o punishable_a with_o death_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o vicar_n of_o jesus_n christ_n how_o can_v this_o be_v consistent_a with_o a_o king_n who_o make_v public_a profession_n of_o recognise_v the_o pope_n as_o head_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n iu._n it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o england_n that_o what_o man_n soever_o hold_v correspondence_n with_o the_o pope_n in_o any_o manner_n he_o shall_v be_v deem_v guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n how_o can_v this_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o quality_n of_o a_o papist_n in_o a_o king_n who_o believe_v himself_o oblige_v to_o receive_v the_o pope_n nunioes_n in_o his_o court_n and_o to_o send_v his_o ambassador_n to_o he_o v._o by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n the_o king_n be_v oblige_v to_o make_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o allegiance_n to_o be_v tender_v to_o all_o his_o subject_n by_o which_o the_o king_n be_v acknowledge_v the_o only_a supreme_a governor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o wherein_o the_o superiority_n of_o the_o pope_n as_o well_o in_o spiritual_n as_o temporal_n be_v express_o renounce_v i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o this_o can_v be_v adjust_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o popish_a king_n what_o kind_n of_o monster_n be_v it_o who_o body_n be_v a_o protestant_a church_n and_o who_o head_n be_v a_o utter_a popish_a king_n vi_o it_o be_v a_o capital_a crime_n by_o law_n to_o solicit_v people_n and_o subject_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n how_o can_v this_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o popish_a king_n who_o believe_v himself_o oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o bring_v back_o all_o his_o subject_n to_o the_o romish_a church_n by_o threat_n and_o promise_n by_o punishment_n and_o reward_n and_o seducement_n vii_o it_o be_v a_o capital_a crime_n in_o england_n for_o any_o person_n to_o promise_v obedience_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n how_o can_v this_o agree_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o popish_a king_n who_o call_v the_o pope_n holy_a father_n and_o submit_v himself_o to_o he_o at_o least_o in_o spiritual_n viii_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o whoever_o enjoy_v any_o public_a office_n shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o the_o test_n by_o which_o the_o romish_a religion_n be_v abjure_v and_o detest_a but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o popish_a king_n who_o possess_v the_o principal_a place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o so_o public_o embrace_n and_o defend_v the_o romish_a religion_n there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o recite_v all_o the_o law_n of_o england_n from_o whence_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a inconsistency_n between_o the_o be_v of_o a_o king_n and_o the_o be_v of_o a_o papist_n in_o the_o same_o person_n thus_o then_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o without_o injustice_n the_o english_a nation_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v declare_v to_o the_o king_n that_o his_o religion_n render_v he_o uncapable_a of_o the_o crown_n it_o be_v true_a the_o crown_n of_o england_n be_v successive_a but_o according_a to_o all_o law_n and_o in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o world_n he_o that_o receive_v a_o succession_n receive_v it_o with_o all_o the_o charge_n which_o by_o law_n be_v annex_v to_o it_o or_o he_o fall_v from_o it_o he_o that_o receive_v a_o estate_n charge_v with_o rent_n and_o obligation_n must_v perform_v they_o must_v yield_v faith_n and_o homage_n if_o he_o will_v enter_v into_o possession_n of_o the_o inheritance_n it_o be_v yet_o more_o certain_a that_o in_o successive_a crown_n there_o be_v certain_a

of_o a_o king_n and_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o papist_n be_v irreconcilable_a nevertheless_o such_o be_v the_o goodness_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o english_a nation_n that_o
