the_o trial_n and_o examination_n of_o a_o late_a libel_n entitle_v a_o new_a test_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n loyalty_n with_o some_o reflection_n upon_o the_o additional_a libel_n entitle_v a_o instance_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n loyalty_n the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v of_o late_a year_n especial_o be_v on_o the_o charitable_a side_n towards_o the_o papist_n and_o have_v allow_v they_o to_o be_v christian_n and_o not_o anti-christians_a nay_o to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o not_o the_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n and_o seem_v to_o have_v utter_o forget_v the_o two_o fundamental_a point_n of_o popery_n that_o heretic_n be_v to_o be_v pursue_v with_o fire_n and_o sword_n which_o be_v determine_v by_o the_o lateran_n council_n under_o innocent_a the_o three_o and_o

and_o jerome_n of_o prague_n and_o in_o this_o excess_n of_o charity_n which_o hope_v all_o thing_n and_o believe_v all_o thing_n they_o have_v hope_a against_o hope_n and_o have_v exercise_v strong_a act_n of_o faith_n where_o no_o faith_n be_v neither_o have_v they_o have_v any_o apprehension_n of_o be_v destroy_v but_o rather_o of_o be_v save_v and_o protect_v with_o fire_n and_o sword_n but_o find_v in_o great_a measure_n their_o charity_n mistake_v to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o their_o disappointment_n may_v seem_v just_a upon_o they_o they_o be_v present_o tax_v with_o disloyalty_n so_o

of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o to_o show_v her_o innocency_n in_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v examine_v this_o new_a test_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n loyalty_n where_o she_o be_v try_v and_o cast_v weigh_v in_o the_o balance_n and_o find_v light_n but_z to_o our_o comfort_n it_o be_v by_o deceitful_a weight_n and_o measure_n the_o first_o device_n be_v to_o pretend_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n appropriate_v to_o themselves_o alone_o the_o principle_n of_o true_a loyalty_n and_o that_o no_o other_o church_n or_o communion_n on_o earth_n can_v be_v consistent_a with_o monarchy_n or_o indeed_o with_o any_o government_n this_o be_v a_o presumption_n of_o so_o high_a a_o nature_n that_o it_o render_v the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o despicable_a enemy_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v here_o represent_v by_o that_o which_o be_v the_o true_a character_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o have_v all_o along_o be_v a_o know_a engrosser_n which_o pretend_v to_o have_v all_o faith_n and_o all_o holiness_n and_o will_v have_v all_o heaven_n to_o herself_o and_o pretend_v to_o have_v the_o key_n of_o it_o will_v suffer_v none_o other_o to_o come_v thither_o whereas_o the_o church_n of_o england_n allow_v not_o only_o that_o all_o protestant_n have_v true_a faith_n and_o true_a loyalty_n as_o well_o as_o she_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o loyalty_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o harmony_n of_o their_o confession_n but_o also_o that_o pagan_n be_v capable_a of_o moral_a virtue_n such_o as_o loyalty_n be_v and_o have_v heretofore_o be_v great_a example_n of_o it_o many_o of_o they_o have_v look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o not_o bear_v for_o themselves_o but_o for_o their_o country_n and_o be_v strict_a observer_n of_o the_o law_n and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o socrates_n in_o particular_a have_v that_o reverence_n for_o the_o law_n that_o though_o he_o

that_o no_o other_o sect_n or_o community_n on_o earth_n from_o the_o rise_n to_o the_o set_v sun_n can_v be_v capable_a of_o this_o singular_a gift_n of_o loyalty_n betray_v his_o malice_n and_o
