way_n and_o also_o know_v their_o right_n of_o petition_v which_o make_v some_o people_n suspect_v that_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o to_o say_v for_o their_o refuse_v the_o oath_n as_o they_o

worse_a principle_n that_o of_o the_o slight_n and_o despise_v the_o government_n itself_o and_o they_o can_v more_o effectual_o clear_v themselves_o from_o that_o imputation_n than_o by_o propose_v something_o that_o may_v be_v equivalent_a to_o the_o oath_n and_o consequent_o as_o good_a security_n to_o the_o government_n which_o if_o refuse_v they_o will_v then_o have_v something_o to_o say_v for_o themselves_o and_o may_v lawful_o complain_v but_o i_o believe_v sir_n that_o you_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v it_o will_v be_v accept_v if_o offer_v and_o at_o a_o venture_n i_o dare_v promise_v they_o your_o vote_n for_o the_o author_n of_o this_o letter_n be_v not_o the_o only_a one_o that_o have_v wish_v some_o expedient_a may_v be_v find_v out_o that_o those_o excellent_a

that_o the_o whole_a nation_n be_v to_o express_v when_o the_o sentence_n come_v to_o deprivation_n and_o as_o to_o the_o encomium_n he_o make_v of_o they_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o well_o please_v with_o it_o in_o the_o positive_a degree_n but_o comparison_n they_o say_v be_v odious_a but_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v advance_v to_o the_o superlative_a only_o for_o not_o take_v the_o oath_n i_o do_v not_o so_o well_o understand_v for_o we_o have_v two_o of_o the_o famous_a seven_o who_o may_v pretend_v to_o as_o great_a merit_n as_o any_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o suffer_v as_o much_o as_o the_o other_o five_o need_v to_o have_v do_v and_o i_o think_v do_v not_o deserve_v the_o less_o from_o the_o nation_n because_o they_o have_v not_o make_v a_o faction_n and_o schism_n in_o it_o as_o the_o other_o have_v nor_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o expense_n of_o so_o much_o treasure_n and_o blood_n too_o for_o whatever_o obligation_n we_o in_o england_n may_v have_v to_o they_o i_o doubt_v the_o poor_a irish_a protestant_n have_v not_o so_o for_o i_o believe_v you_o and_o a_o great_a many_o in_o your_o house_n be_v satisfy_v that_o if_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v unanimous_o come_v in_o to_o king_n william_n at_o first_o so_o that_o he_o can_v have_v send_v his_o army_n over_o while_o the_o protestant_n in_o ireland_n have_v be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o have_v assist_v they_o that_o kingdom_n have_v be_v reduce_v long_o ago_o and_o consequent_o so_o many_o live_v save_v as_o it_o have_v and_o will_v cost_v to_o do_v it_o now_o but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o subject_a for_o i_o to_o insist_v on_o though_o it_o deserve_v their_o consideration_n but_o i_o perceive_v the_o author_n think_v there_o be_v no_o fall_v from_o grace_n else_o he_o will_v not_o have_v conclude_v that_o after_o one_o eminent_a good_a act_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v a_o ill_a it_o will_v indeed_o be_v very_o happy_a if_o one_o generous_a piece_n of_o piety_n will_v render_v one_o infallible_a ever_o after_o but_o i_o fear_v the_o rule_n will_v fail_v though_o i_o hearty_o wish_v it_o may_v not_o in_o those_o reverend_a person_n for_o who_o i_o have_v as_o great_a and_o true_a a_o veneration_n as_o any_o body_n can_v pretend_v to_o but_o in_o case_n they_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o prefer_v quiet_a and_o privacy_n before_o profit_n and_o state_n and_o adhere_v to_o their_o own_o humour_n before_o serve_v god_n and_o the_o church_n in_o the_o place_n they_o so_o well_o fill_v if_o i_o say_v they_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o do_v this_o i_o can_v suppose_v those_o dismal_a consequence_n must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o this_o author_n foretell_v for_o i_o fear_v the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n do_v not_o so_o much_o value_v true_a worth_n as_o to_o be_v concern_v for_o what_o good_a man_n suffer_v if_o they_o themselves_o be_v at_o ease_n and_o in_o safety_n but_o good_a word_n cost_v nothing_o and_o they_o can_v easy_o afford_v they_o that_o will_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n more_o to_o serve_v either_o king_n or_o bishop_n which_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n why_o both_o have_v be_v so_o out_o in_o their_o computation_n for_o king_n james_n make_v his_o muster_n by_o his_o address_n i_o be_o sure_o reckon_v without_o his_o host_n and_o i_o fancy_v the_o bishop_n have_v be_v a_o little_a out_o in_o their_o count_n too_o as_o to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o clergy_n that_o will_v refuse_v the_o oath_n as_o it_o be_v possible_a this_o author_n may_v be_v in_o he_o but_o indeed_o where_o the_o dissent_v bishop_n be_v the_o whole_a church_n a_o very_a small_a party_n may_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v the_o whole_a nation_n and_o both_o contain_v in_o a_o good_a honest_a conventicle_n nay_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v at_o the_o rate_n some_o man_n talk_v both_o church_n and_o nation_n may_v in_o a_o few_o year_n be_v reduce_v as_o the_o church_n of_o the_o donatist_n be_v to_o one_o single_a person_n but_o i_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v a_o prophet_n in_o that_o point_n for_o i_o do_v from_o my_o soul_n wish_v that_o we_o may_v be_v all_o unite_a as_o in_o one_o faith_n so_o in_o one_o communion_n that_o we_o may_v with_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o mouth_n praise_n god_n and_o pray_v for_o our_o king_n who_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o make_v the_o glorious_a instrument_n of_o the_o great_a deliverance_n that_o ever_o yet_o happen_v to_o the_o reform_a church_n and_o true_o it_o do_v seem_v as_o strange_a to_o i_o that_o any_o body_n that_o call_v himself_o a_o church_n of_o england_n man_n do_v not_o both_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o as_o it_o do_v to_o this_o author_n to_o think_v that_o the_o great_a assertor_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o english_a liberty_n shall_v be_v suspend_v and_o deprive_v but_o the_o latter_a be_v still_o in_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o let_v they_o but_o qualify_v themselves_o for_o their_o majesty_n favour_n by_o comply_v with_o the_o law_n and_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o they_o shall_v receive_v such_o mark_n of_o it_o as_o shall_v be_v proportionable_a even_o to_o their_o merit_n which_o i_o do_v think_v as_o great_a as_o any_o body_n can_v pretend_v to_o but_o without_o admit_v the_o doctrine_n of_o compensation_n i_o can_v say_v that_o the_o sepererogate_a in_o one_o point_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v give_v one_o licence_n to_o break_v another_o for_o st._n james_n tell_v we_o chap._n 2.10_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o yet_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o and_o i_o suppose_v this_o hold_n in_o humane_a as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o divine_a law._n therefore_o unless_o they_o do_v think_v fit_a to_o comply_v i_o can_v help_v it_o though_o the_o law_n do_v look_v upon_o they_o as_o criminal_n though_o i_o must_v always_o admire_v their_o personal_a endowment_n and_o particular_a qualification_n for_o government_n which_o make_v it_o so_o desirable_a they_o shall_v keep_v their_o station_n but_o if_o they_o think_v fit_a to_o deprive_v the_o church_n of_o their_o further_a service_n for_o after_o all_o the_o exclamation_n that_o be_v or_o can_v be_v make_v against_o it_o it_o be_v apparent_o their_o own_o do_n because_o their_o choice_n although_o the_o proverb_n that_o seldom_o come_v a_o letter_n may_v be_v very_o likely_a to_o hold_v in_o their_o case_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o think_v there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o scarcity_n of_o worthy_a man_n in_o the_o church_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v possible_a to_o find_v out_o four_o or_o five_o as_o good_a who_o may_v be_v able_a to_o supply_v even_o their_o place_n and_o come_v up_o to_o their_o pitch_n of_o which_o the_o two_o last_o vacancy_n be_v a_o convince_a instance_n to_o i_o for_o by_o that_o time_n that_o the_o diocese_n of_o worcester_n and_o chichester_n be_v thorough_o acquaint_v with_o their_o new_a bishop_n i_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o will_v think_v they_o have_v change_v much_o for_o the_o worse_o although_o the_o two_o predecessor_n be_v as_o eminent_a and_o as_o good_a man_n as_o any_o they_o
