what_o need_v we_o punish_v those_o who_o now_o be_v papist_n lest_o they_o shall_v grow_v hereafter_o so_o many_o as_o to_o be_v fear_v be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o lay_v penalty_n on_o such_o as_o shall_v turn_v to_o they_o for_o the_o future_a if_o to_o preserve_v the_o peace_n be_v our_o intention_n and_o that_o can_v be_v molest_v by_o those_o of_o the_o roman_a communion_n as_o now_o it_o stand_v let_v we_o but_o shut_v the_o door_n that_o no_o more_o enter_v in_o and_o we_o be_v safe_a without_o pull_v down_o the_o house_n on_o the_o head_n of_o those_o that_o be_v there_o already_o i_o can_v deny_v but_o i_o be_o thus_o far_o popish_o affect_v that_o i_o willing_o converse_v with_o a_o papist_n if_o he_o be_v a_o cavalier_n and_o hearty_o love_v a_o cavalier_n though_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n this_o be_v my_o character_n and_o i_o be_o not_o a_o jot_n ashamed_a to_o own_v it_o show_v i_o a_o papist_n that_o take_v the_o covenant_n or_o fight_v against_o the_o king_n and_o i_o will_v hate_v he_o worse_o than_o a_o presbyterian_a so_o much_o care_n i_o for_o their_o religion_n but_o when_o i_o find_v many_o of_o they_o civil_a and_o ingenious_a and_o well-bread_n person_n why_o shall_v i_o decline_v their_o company_n when_o i_o find_v all_o of_o they_o true_a and_o earnest_n and_o constant_a cavalier_n why_o shall_v i_o hate_v their_o person_n all_o this_o i_o see_v may_v easy_o be_v do_v without_o either_o approve_v their_o religion_n or_o diminish_v my_o own_o especial_o since_o the_o most_o eminent_a divine_n of_o england_n allow_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n from_o whence_o they_o acknowledge_v to_o derive_v their_o order_n wherein_o they_o agree_v that_o both_o salvation_n may_v be_v have_v and_o all_o fundamental_o be_v profess_v which_o i_o believe_v they_o will_v not_o say_v of_o any_o other_o dissenter_n in_o this_o nation_n i_o be_o sure_a if_o they_o say_v it_o they_o can_v maintain_v it_o till_o they_o have_v answer_v this_o argument_n no_o true_a church_n without_o true_a pastor_n no_o true_a pastor_n without_o true_a ordination_n no_o true_a ordination_n without_o true_a bishop_n therefore_o where_o there_o be_v no_o bishop_n there_o be_v neither_o ordination_n nor_o pastor_n nor_o church_n thus_o clear_o to_o my_o eye_n protestant_n differ_v from_o presbyterian_o and_o the_o rest_n not_o in_o circumstantial_o only_o but_o in_o essential_o they_o differ_v as_o church_n and_o no_o church_n which_o be_v a_o far_a grater_n distance_n then_o between_o protestant_n and_o papist_n this_o single_a consideration_n have_v often_o make_v i_o wonder_v why_o we_o shall_v so_o violent_o persecute_v the_o papist_n with_o the_o uncouth_a name_n of_o idolatrous_a and_o antichristian_a and_o which_o be_v worse_o with_o the_o churlish_a action_n of_o sequestration_n and_o death_n hang_v and_o quarter_a they_o only_o for_o take_v order_n from_o the_o same_o church_n from_o whence_o we_o derive_v our_o own_o and_o all_o this_o while_n we_o kind_o call_v our_o other_o neighbour_n brethren_n and_o pray_v for_o our_o sister-churche_n beyond_o the_o sea_n who_o yet_o be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v one_o mother_n with_o we_o that_o ourselves_o say_v they_o have_v none_o at_o all_o be_v then_o the_o calvinist_n no_o church_n be_v all_o the_o reformer_n in_o france_n germany_n holland_n and_o even_o geneva_n itself_o no_o church_n i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o argument_n the_o conclusion_n perhaps_o may_v be_v unwelcome_a but_o the_o premise_n i_o doubt_v be_v unavoidable_a if_o no_o governor_n there_o can_v be_v no_o govern_v and_o if_o neither_o of_o those_o there_o can_v be_v no_o community_n whether_o we_o speak_v of_o spiritual_a or_o civil_a community_n only_o sometime_o when_o we_o will_v reckon_v up_o our_o number_n to_o cross-bite_a the_o papist_n who_o for_o the_o same_o purpose_n will_v count_v the_o greek_n their_o brethren_n we_o let_v all_o sort_n of_o reformer_n pass_v the_o muster_n for_o protestant_n a_o kind_n of_o pia_fw-la fraus_fw-la to_o sustain_v reputation_n and_o bear_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n and_o have_v somewhat_o to_o say_v to_o a_o adversary_n whether_o upon_o this_o reason_n or_o some_o other_o i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o observe_v our_o grave_a preacher_n and_o our_o learn_a writer_n general_o affirm_v that_o we_o punish_v the_o papist_n not_o for_o religion_n but_o for_o treason_n sure_o we_o must_v not_o mean_v their_o religion_n be_v treason_n for_o than_o we_o plain_o contradict_v our-selve_n while_o we_o say_v we_o punish_v they_o for_o treason_n not_o religion_n if_o at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o make_v they_o but_o two_o name_n for_o one_o thing_n what_o be_v then_o their_o treason_n either_o their_o action_n and_o let_v all_o that_o be_v guilty_a dye_n without_o mercy_n without_o so_o much_o as_o the_o least_o syllable_n of_o benefit_n by_o the_o act_n of_o oblivion_n let_v they_o all_o be_v hang_v and_o draw_v and_o quarter_v and_o none_o be_v find_v to_o pity_v they_o only_o let_v our_o justice_n not_o be_v blind_a and_o punish_v the_o innocent_a with_o the_o criminal_a but_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_n let_v that_o die_v or_o else_o their_o opinion_n be_v treasonable_a and_o then_o let_v the_o opinion_n be_v first_o single_v out_o and_o either_o public_o renounce_v or_o the_o maintainer_n proceed_v against_o with_o what_o penalty_n you_o please_v but_o if_o their_o religion_n that_o be_v their_o faith_n not_o their_o opinion_n be_v clear_a from_o the_o charge_n of_o treason_n let_v we_o honest_o stand_v to_o our_o principle_n and_o no_o long_o upon_o that_o account_n punish_v they_o as_o traitor_n well_o though_o they_o now_o have_v approve_v themselves_o good_a subject_n yet_o time_n have_v be_v when_o they_o be_v not_o so_o but_o shall_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o punish_v when_o they_o cease_v to_o deserve_v it_o shall_v we_o not_o take_v off_o their_o fetter_n when_o they_o do_v well_o as_o willing_o as_o we_o lay_v they_o on_o when_o they_o do_v ill_a nay_o shall_v we_o charge_v they_o with_o new_a and_o heavy_a chain_n now_o they_o have_v give_v we_o such_o evidence_n of_o their_o constant_a loyalty_n even_o bedlam_n themselves_o be_v set_v at_o liberty_n when_o we_o see_v they_o be_v return_v to_o their_o wit_n we_o know_v all_o have_v suffer_v long_o for_o the_o crime_n of_o a_o few_o why_o may_v they_o not_o hope_v as_o well_o to_o be_v indulge_v now_o for_o the_o loyalty_n of_o many_o time_n too_o have_v be_v when_o other_o be_v no_o good_a subject_n and_o that_o within_o the_o memory_n even_o of_o young_a man_n but_o the_o gracious_a clemency_n of_o his_o majesty_n have_v bury_v all_o in_o oblivion_n and_o may_v all_o treasonous_a rebellion_n of_o what_o sect_n or_o faction_n soever_o be_v eternal_o bury_v and_o never_o rise_v again_o to_o molest_v we_o either_o in_o our_o duty_n to_o our_o king_n or_o charity_n to_o one_o another_o but_o let_v the_o lover_n of_o peace_n do_v what_o they_o can_v some_o will_v be_v still_o delight_v to_o rub_v over_o old_a sore_n and_o immediate_o they_o fall_v upon_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n and_o the_o spanish_a invasion_n as_o for_o the_o last_o if_o we_o look_v into_o our_o own_o history_n we_o shall_v see_v our_o nation_n have_v disoblige_v the_o spaniard_n by_o a_o long_a course_n of_o sharp_a unkindness_n of_o which_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v avenge_v and_o find_v no_o handsome_a pretence_n then_o that_o of_o relieve_v the_o oppress_a for_o religion_n he_o take_v it_o 〈◊〉_d and_o bring_v
