otherwise_o than_o by_o make_v some_o very_a short_a note_n upon_o the_o most_o remarkable_a passage_n in_o it_o i_o the_o first_o charge_n be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n assist_v usurper_n to_o invade_v the_o crown_n mean_v the_o lady_n jane_n and_o q._n elizabeth_n as_o for_o the_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o can_v see_v how_o it_o can_v be_v charge_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o

hen._n 7._o c._n 1._o i_o think_v this_o be_v a_o very_a fair_a offer_n that_o when_o the_o papist_n have_v answer_v for_o all_o the_o bad_a title_n which_o be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n which_o be_v at_o least_o in_o the_o proportion_n of_o two_o bad_a one_o for_o one_o good_a we_o will_v then_o answer_v as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v for_o that_o single_a one_o which_o have_v happen_v since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o reformation_n the_o other_o usurper_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n assist_v to_o invade_v the_o crown_n be_v q._n elizabeth_n a_o know_a bastard_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o a_o popish_a parliament_n then_o sit_v acknowledge_v her_o title_n and_o assist_v in_o set_v she_o upon_o the_o throne_n and_o not_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o be_v then_o drive_v into_o corner_n and_o into_o foreign_a country_n and_o be_v not_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o assist_v any_o body_n and_o whereas_o q_o elizabeth_n be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v a_o know_a bastard_n the_o church_n and_o court_n of_o rome_n know_v the_o contrary_n for_o they_o know_v that_o her_o mother_n marriage_n be_v good_a because_o the_o former_a marriage_n be_v naught_o and_o the_o former_a be_v confess_o naught_o because_o it_o want_v the_o pope_n dispensation_n and_o licence_n which_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o mighty_a sum_n of_o money_n to_o make_v it_o good_a if_o it_o have_v be_v lawful_a in_o itself_o it_o have_v not_o need_v the_o pope_n dispensation_n to_o make_v it_o lawful_a and_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o refer_v it_o to_o all_o the_o world_n whether_o the_o pope_n dispensation_n can_v make_v a_o unlawful_a marriage_n to_o be_v lawful_a ii_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o the_o prelatic_a protestancy_n call_v the_o church_n of_o england_n enact_v those_o bloody_a cannibal_n law_n to_o hang_v draw_v and_o quarter_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o live_a god._n i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v the_o mass_n priest_n now_o these_o cannibal_n law_n be_v make_v to_o hang_v they_o not_o as_o priest_n but_o as_o traitor_n and_o traiter-maker_n but_o i_o will_v fain_o ask_v may_v not_o any_o sheep-stealer_n or_o cutpurse_n in_o newgate_n exclaim_v against_o persecution_n and_o the_o bloody_a cannibal_n law_n with_o a_o much_o better_a grace_n that_o a_o man_n make_v in_o the_o image_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v hang_v like_o a_o dog_n for_o such_o trifle_n as_o a_o sheep_n or_o a_o little_a loose_a pocket-money_n
in_o this_o point_n which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n will_v hardly_o trouble_v herself_o about_o because_o she_o like_v her_o old_a principle_n of_o loyalty_n very_o well_o and_o be_v not_o

change_v their_o old_a principle_n of_o loyalty_n and_o take_v example_n by_o their_o catholic_n neighbour_n they_o be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o snake_n in_o his_o majesty_n bosom_n and_o can_v expect_v to_o be_v protect_v alas_o this_o gentleman_n be_v utter_o mistake_v for_o a_o legal_a establishment_n have_v a_o right_a to_o a_o legal_a protection_n and_o the_o king_n be_v bind_v

withdraw_a protection_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v to_o talk_v of_o remove_v the_o thames_n to_o york_n but_o we_o be_v so_o much_o use_v to_o such_o empty_a threaten_n and_o flash_n in_o the_o pan_n that_o we_o know_v they_o will_v not_o kill_v so_o the_o reply_n to_o the_o oxford_n reason_n against_o addressing_z threaten_v the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o by_o the_o

have_v do_v of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o these_o word_n and_o now_o let_v we_o leave_v the_o holy_a mother_n church_n at_o liberty_n to_o consult_v what_o new_a measure_n of_o loyalty_n she_o ought_v to_o take_v for_o she_o own_o dear_a interest_n and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v it_o may_v be_v worth_a her_o serious_a consideration_n i_o be_o in_o hope_n that_o this_o church_n of_o

even_o at_o a_o enemy_n bid_v to_o consult_v what_o new_a measure_n of_o loyalty_n she_o ought_v to_o take_v for_o she_o own_o dear_a interest_n and_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o posterity_n which_o be_v much_o dear_a and_o for_o the_o everlasting_a interest_n of_o both_o which_o be_v dear_a of_o all_o and_o will_v humble_o and_o hearty_o bewail_v she_o disloyalty_n to_o her_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n and_o those_o many_o and_o great_a and_o open_a transgression_n and_o violation_n of_o his_o most_o holy_a and_o righteous_a law_n which_o be_v among_o we_o and_o o_o that_o every_o

be_v the_o loyalty_n that_o be_v too_o much_o want_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o law_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n who_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o

perhaps_o in_o some_o unwarrantable_a officious_a instance_n which_o it_o will_v hardly_o be_v proper_a for_o they_o to_o object_n against_o she_o and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o both_o we_o and_o our_o
