another_o opinion_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o will_v lay_v down_o for_o a_o infallible_a truth_n that_o never_o any_o protestant_n i._n e._n a_o son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v ever_o draw_v his_o sword_n against_o the_o king_n or_o any_o other_o their_o sovereign_a prince_n since_o the_o reformation_n begin_v by_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o caco_fw-la oh_o monstrum_fw-la horrendum_fw-la sure_o you_o do_v not_o believe_v what_o you_o say_v ortho._n yes_o and_o i_o will_v prove_v what_o i_o say_v thus_o that_o the_o late_a rebel_n cromwell_n your_o friend_n precedent_n bradshaw_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o those_o that_o be_v of_o their_o party_n be_v not_o protestant_n that_o be_v they_o be_v not_o son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n you_o may_v as_o well_o call_v those_o people_n royalist_n as_o protestant_n or_o son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v they_o not_o overthrow_v the_o hierarchy_n of_o the_o church_n as_o well_o as_o monarchy_n how_o then_o can_v you_o call_v they_o protestant_n when_o indeed_o they_o do_v not_o deserve_v without_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o charity_n the_o name_n of_o man_n so_o monstrous_a be_v their_o action_n thus_o much_o to_o vindicate_v protestant_n who_o tenet_n be_v this_o that_o if_o their_o sovereign_n be_v a_o tyrant_n and_o a_o turk_n which_o our_o sovereign_n be_v far_o from_o i_o thank_v god_n yet_o in_o such_o a_o case_n we_o allow_v of_o no_o other_o arm_n than_o what_o the_o primitive_a christian_n do_v use_v against_o their_o persecutor_n that_o be_v prayer_n and_o tear_n caco_fw-la thus_o far_o i_o confess_v you_o have_v well_o prove_v that_o protestant_n in_o a_o strict_a sense_n so_o call_v i._o e._n true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v be_v very_o good_a subject_n and_o that_o if_o they_o deviate_v from_o their_o lovalty_n to_o their_o sovereign_n it_o be_v not_o from_o any_o ill_a principle_n in_o their_o religion_n which_o they_o suck_v in_o with_o their_o milk_n and_o that_o such_o deviation_n do_v rather_o proceed_v from_o the_o ill_a principle_n of_o sin_n and_o frailty_n of_o humane_a nature_n all_o this_o i_o acknowledge_v for_o a_o great_a truth_n but_o what_o have_v you_o to_o say_v against_o papist_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v as_o good_a subject_n as_o any_o the_o best_a protestant_n in_o the_o world_n ortho._n in_o a_o word_n the_o rebellion_n of_o ireland_n accompany_v with_o a_o universal_a massacre_n without_o all_o distinction_n of_o age_n and_o sex_n which_o as_o it_o precede_v the_o rebellion_n of_o england_n so_o do_v it_o also_o exceed_v it_o in_o inhumanity_n and_o bloodshed_n and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v occasion_v the_o english_a rebellion_n caco_fw-la i_o do_v expect_v no_o less_o from_o you_o who_o be_v so_o great_a a_o assertor_n of_o the_o protestant_n so_o much_o a_o adversary_n to_o the_o papist_n and_o so_o loyal_a to_o the_o prince_n but_o all_o this_o while_n i_o hear_v nothing_o of_o any_o principle_n in_o the_o popish_a religion_n that_o shall_v lead_v they_o into_o such_o horrid_a action_n which_o i_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n justify_v ortho._n have_v patience_n and_o i_o shall_v give_v enough_o of_o that_o you_o know_v what_o our_o saviour_n say_v no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n which_o possible_o may_v be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o pope_n sovereignty_n over_o the_o king_n and_o protentate_n of_o the_o world_n how_o can_v the_o papist_n serve_v god_n honour_v the_o king_n which_o then_o be_v but_o one_o in_o reality_n and_o serve_v worship_n and_o obey_v the_o pope_n for_o he_o be_v as_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o other_o master_n caco_fw-la well_o enough_o for_o the_o pope_n as_o the_o papist_n tell_v i_o pretend_v to_o no_o other_o
