of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n of_o israel_n and_o that_o of_o the_o roman_a empire_n after_o commodus_n time_n first_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n after_o the_o murder_n of_o

you_o may_v guess_v or_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o hosea_n he_o prophesy_v at_o that_o time_n and_o he_o tell_v we_o how_o this_o people_n have_v cast_v off_o god_n he_o cast_v off_o

at_o almost_o every_o change_n there_o be_v rapine_n and_o oppression_n and_o blood_n till_o diocletian_n time_n he_o indeed_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o these_o evil_n but_o there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o

yes_o they_o join_v popery_n with_o it_o in_o their_o declaration_n prelacy_n and_o popery_n be_v always_o except_v together_o but_o as_o for_o popery_n as_o it_o be_v never_o more_o free_o profess_a so_o i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v it_o never_o have_v a_o great_a harvest_n then_o at_o that_o time_n but_o with_o prelacy_n they_o be_v in_o earnest_n we_o find_v it_o so_o in_o be_v deprive_v

have_v not_o give_v our_o church_n a_o new_a life_n at_o the_o king_n restauration_n but_o how_o be_v that_o bring_v about_o i_o be_o come_v to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o visible_a work_n

at_o the_o very_a brink_n of_o destruction_n our_o church_n be_v certain_o then_o at_o the_o brink_n of_o destruction_n but_o be_v it_o never_o so_o since_o if_o we_o forget_v we_o be_v extreme_o

within_o these_o four_o year_n i_o know_v no_o man_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n except_o a_o few_o rot_a member_n that_o show_v what_o they_o be_v then_o and_o since_o none_o beside_o but_o what_o do_v acknowledge_v we_o be_v in_o extreme_a danger_n at_o that_o time_n it_o be_v a_o melancholy_a thing_n to_o have_v our_o king_n who_o our_o religion_n bind_v we_o to_o obey_v for_o

with_o their_o conscience_n in_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o at_o first_o we_o be_v make_v to_o believe_v it_o shall_v be_v as_o we_o hope_v but_o alas_o we_o soon_o find_v those_o dispenser_n with_o

be_v as_o i_o say_v a_o melancholy_a thing_n to_o speak_v of_o or_o even_o to_o think_v of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v too_o plain_a they_o have_v bring_v thing_n to_o that_o pass_n that_o our_o law_n

as_o a_o perfect_a snare_n to_o we_o we_o must_v not_o resist_v that_o our_o religion_n will_v not_o allow_v we_o can_v not_o petition_v neither_o but_o at_o our_o peril_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o but_o let_v thing_n go_v on_o in_o their_o course_n they_o have_v we_o bind_v hand_n and_o foot_n they_o may_v do_v what_o they_o please_v with_o we_o they_o have_v we_o at_o their_o mercy_n such_o as_o it_o be_v and_o consider_v the_o mercy_n of_o jesuit_n which_o in_o france_n and_o in_o england_n be_v much_o the_o same_o i_o think_v we_o have_v good_a ground_n to_o judge_v that_o if_o

that_o can_v and_o dare_v interpose_v between_o we_o and_o the_o last_o strike_v of_o our_o enemy_n it_o be_v so_o hazardous_a a_o attempt_n that_o i_o be_o amaze_v when_o i_o think_v of_o it_o how_o
