A46622	Mrs. James's vindication of the Church of England in an answer to a pamphlet entituled A new test of the Church of England's loyalty.	James, Elinor.	1687 (1687)	Wing J423; ESTC R36027	14,362	13

and_o for_o your_o loyalty_n to_o king_n charles_n i._o be_v it_o not_o for_o your_o own_o protection_n for_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v so_o upon_o you_o for_o you_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n that_o you_o may_v very_o well_o have_v the_o fear_v of_o cain_n upon_o you_o and_o as_o for_o the_o liturgy_n and_o discipline_n what_o make_v it_o so_o hateful_a but_o because_o we_o have_v comply_v as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v to_o you_o for_o unity_n sake_n and_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o war_n and_o of_o that_o good_a prince_n lose_v his_o life_n and_o crown_n may_v be_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v for_o shelter_v such_o unfortunate_a man_n as_o you_o be_v for_o you_o be_v not_o so_o sensible_a nor_o so_o honest_a as_o jonah_n be_v for_o he_o declare_v the_o truth_n that_o he_o be_v the_o man_n that_o have_v offend_v and_o by_o his_o counsel_n the_o ship_n be_v save_v but_o you_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a nature_n for_o you_o do_v not_o care_v if_o you_o perish_v yourselves_o so_o other_o perish_v with_o you_o but_o the_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n be_v not_o of_o that_o nature_n as_o abraham_n moses_n david_n and_o christ_n himself_o for_o he_o undertake_v death_n that_o we_o may_v live_v and_o poverty_n that_o through_o he_o we_o may_v be_v make_v rich_a but_o you_o be_v a_o enemy_n for_o you_o will_v have_v none_o rich_a but_o yourselves_o think_v thereby_o to_o enslave_v we_o and_o triumph_v over_o we_o therefore_o i_o find_v you_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o cain_n who_o envy_v his_o brother_n because_o his_o own_o deed_n be_v evil._n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v call_v god_n to_o witness_n i_o have_v be_v always_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v dear_a to_o i_o than_o the_o king_n life_n and_o happiness_n and_o if_o i_o have_v a_o thousand_o life_n i_o can_v sacrifice_v they_o all_o in_o vindication_n of_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n without_o the_o hope_n of_o reward_n or_o gain_n and_o there_o be_v none_o of_o my_o enemy_n can_v object_n any_o thing_n against_o i_o but_o be_v over_o zealous_a for_o my_o sovereign_a lord_n for_o my_o bless_a saviour_n have_v teach_v i_o that_o i_o can_v serve_v two_o master_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v always_o olige_v to_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o prince_n in_o who_o dominion_n they_o live_v so_o that_o it_o be_v our_o christian_a duty_n to_o love_n and_o pray_v for_o our_o own_o prince_n but_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o any_o other_o and_o whoever_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o another_o can_v be_v a_o true_a subject_n to_o their_o own_o therefore_o my_o resolution_n i●_n that_o i_o will_v be_v true_a to_o my_o god_n my_o king_n and_o my_o country_n and_o i_o

of_o england_n as_o for_o conscience_n i_o do_v not_o count_v it_o a_o sufficient_a guide_n because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o infallible_a but_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o err_v and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o i_o find_v those_o that_o will_v not_o be_v guide_v by_o that_o do_v not_o yield_v civil_a obedience_n to_o temporal_a magistrate_n and_o how_o can_v they_o to_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o not_o so_o much_o for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n but_o since_o it_o be_v the_o king_n pleasure_n i_o rest_v satisfy_v for_o if_o they_o

offend_v you_o because_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v loyal_a subject_n indeed_o i_o wonder_v how_o they_o dare_v say_v so_o when_o the_o world_n know_v they_o never_o have_v any_o but_o why_o shall_v any_o be_v unwilling_a to_o return_v the_o king_n thanks_o i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o every_o one_o be_v oblige_v to_o and_o since_o the_o king_n be_v please_v to_o renew_v his_o

for_o a_o christian_n ought_v to_o imitate_v all_o good_a thing_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o excuse_n fear_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o trust_v in_o god_n love_v the_o king_n and_o be_v kind_a one_o to_o another_o and_o do_v not_o addict_v yourselves_o to_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o christianity_n and_o i_o think_v you_o be_v oblige_v to_o frequent_v the_o prayer_n
