catholic_n to_o heretic_n must_v needs_o be_v they_o can_v not_o hearken_v to_o this_o with_o any_o patience_n but_o look_v on_o his_o majesty_n promise_n as_o a_o thing_n so_o sacred_a that_o they_o employ_v their_o interest_n to_o carry_v all_o election_n of_o parliament-man_n for_o those_o that_o be_v recommend_v by_o the_o court_n with_o so_o much_o vigour_n that_o it_o lay_v they_o open_a to_o much_o censure_n in_o parliament_n they_o move_v for_o no_o law_n to_o secure_v their_o religion_n but_o assure_v themselves_o that_o honour_n be_v the_o king_n idol_n they_o lay_v hold_v on_o it_o and_o fancy_v that_o a_o public_a reliance_n on_o his_o word_n will_v give_v they_o a_o interest_n in_o his_o majesty_n that_o be_v generous_a and_o more_o suitable_a to_o the_o nobleness_n of_o a_o princely_a nature_n than_o any_o new_a law_n can_v be_v so_o that_o they_o acquiesce_v in_o it_o and_o give_v the_o king_n a_o vast_a revenue_n for_o life_n in_o the_o rebellion_n that_o follow_v they_o show_v with_o what_o zeal_n they_o adhere_v to_o his_o majesty_n even_o against_o a_o pretender_n that_o declare_v for_o they_o and_o in_o the_o session_n of_o parliament_n which_o come_v

with_o all_o possible_a modesty_n that_o the_o law_n which_o his_o majesty_n have_v both_o promise_v and_o at_o his_o coronation_n have_v swear_v to_o maintain_v may_v be_v execute_v here_o be_v their_o crime_n which_o have_v raise_v all_o this_o outcry_n they_o do_v not_o move_v for_o the_o execution_n of_o severe_a or_o penal_a law_n but_o be_v willing_a to_o let_v those_o sleep_n till_o it_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o papist_n whether_o they_o may_v deserve_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o mitigation_n make_v of_o they_o in_o their_o favour_n since_o that_o

these_o two_o be_v very_o well_o consistent_a one_o with_o another_o it_o be_v true_a they_o have_v general_o express_v a_o unwillingness_n to_o part_n with_o the_o two_o test_n because_o they_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o ●ust_z the_o keep_n of_o their_o throat_n to_o those_o who_o they_o believe_v will_v cut_v they_o and_o they_o have_v see_v nothing_o in_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o papist_n

which_o the_o court_n set_v on_o foot_n with_o more_o heat_n than_o be_v perhaps_o either_o justifiable_a in_o itself_o or_o reasonable_a in_o those_o circumstance_n but_o how_o censurable_a soever_o some_o angry_a man_n may_v be_v it_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a to_o see_v those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n blame_v we_o for_o it_o which_o have_v decree_v such_o unrelenting_a severity_n against_o all_o that_o differ_v from_o she_o and_o have_v enact_v that_o not_o only_o in_o parliament_n but_o even_o in_o general_a council_n it_o must_v needs_o sound_v odd_o to_o hear_v the_o son_n of_o a_o church_n that_o must_v destroy_v all_o other_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o can_v compass_v it_o yet_o complain_v of_o the_o excess_n of_o fine_n and_o imprisonment_n that_o have_v be_v of_o late_a among_o we_o but_o if_o this_o reproach_n seem_v a_o little_a strange_a when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o papist_n it_o be_v yet_o much_o more_o provoke_v when_o it_o come_v from_o any_o

obedient_a clergy_n to_o look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o piece_n of_o their_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n to_o encourage_v that_o severity_n of_o which_o the_o court_n seem_v so_o fond_a that_o almost_o all_o

reproach_n come_v from_o the_o court._n and_o it_o be_v somewhat_o unbecoming_a to_o see_v that_o which_o be_v set_v on_o at_o one_o time_n disow_v at_o another_o while_o yet_o he_o that_o be_v the_o

we_o be_v the_o only_a church_n that_o have_v principle_n of_o loyalty_n but_o this_o we_o may_v say_v that_o we_o be_v the_o church_n in_o the_o world_n that_o carry_v they_o the_o high_a as_o we_o

even_o when_o we_o see_v what_o they_o be_v like_a to_o cost_v we_o the_o point_n which_o he_o single_v out_o be_v that_o we_o have_v fail_v in_o that_o grateful_a return_n that_o we_o owe_v his_o
