some_o consideration_n about_o the_o new_a test_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n loyalty_n in_o a_o letter_n from_o a_o country_z gentleman_z occasion_v by_o the_o present_a invasion_n sir_n i_o have_v great_a obligation_n to_o you_o for_o the_o continual_a account_n you_o send_v i_o i_o have_v not_o power_n or_o if_o i_o have_v i_o be_o not_o at_o leisure_n to_o express_v my_o engagement_n for_o to_o tell_v you_o true_o your_o late_a account_n of_o our_o strange_a revolution_n do_v so_o fill_v my_o thought_n that_o i_o be_o pause_v upon_o they_o continual_o indeed_o you_o have_v all_o along_o represent_v thing_n as_o become_v that_o important_a station_n and_o honourable_a character_n you_o bear_v when_o the_o crown_n be_v in_o danger_n the_o time_n before_o but_o i_o must_v need_v say_v that_o in_o these_o latter_a relation_n you_o have_v so_o instruct_v i_o that_o i_o be_o at_o a_o perfect_a loss_n with_o myself_o whether_o you_o have_v be_v more_o just_a or_o kind_a for_o as_o indeed_o the_o case_n require_v you_o have_v give_v i_o such_o a_o particular_a view_n of_o thing_n that_o if_o i_o live_v in_o london_n and_o have_v those_o complete_a freedom_n which_o you_o enjoy_v with_o so_o many_o man_n of_o sense_n and_o quality_n yet_o i_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o form_v so_o exact_a a_o idea_n of_o our_o public_a affair_n as_o i_o take_v from_o your_o paper_n as_o it_o lie_v before_o i_o i_o have_v also_o have_v the_o pleasure_n of_o entertain_v my_o friend_n at_o your_o expense_n for_o so_o the_o honesty_n and_o ingenuity_n of_o your_o letter_n require_v i_o shall_v beside_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o inform_v my_o neighbour_n that_o we_o may_v find_v out_o by_o consultation_n which_o be_v the_o best_a method_n to_o serve_v his_o majesty_n now_o his_o necessity_n call_v for_o our_o help_n again_o and_o his_o wisdom_n do_v we_o the_o honour_n to_o command_v it_o you_o remember_v sir_n since_o you_o make_v we_o happy_a in_o your_o conversation_n what_o a_o considerable_a neighbourhood_n we_o have_v how_o person_n of_o honour_n and_o quality_n loyalty_n and_o conformity_n live_v thick_a about_o we_o and_o what_o a_o powerful_a influence_n they_o have_v upon_o the_o common_a people_n i_o leave_v this_o to_o your_o reflection_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a i_o shall_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o it_o in_o order_n to_o what_o i_o be_o go_v to_o say_v for_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o set_v down_o those_o thought_n which_o cause_v you_o this_o trouble_n and_o yet_o before_o i_o can_v speak_v direct_o i_o must_v observe_v the_o seasonableness_n of_o these_o consideration_n there_o be_v a_o time_n for_o every_o purpose_n say_v the_o wise_a king_n solomon_n and_o be_v make_v good_a in_o this_o particular_a for_o if_o that_o be_v the_o time_n to_o consider_v and_o expose_v false_a reasoning_n when_o our_o advesary_n be_v bind_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o we_o say_v than_o this_o be_v the_o very_a time_n to_o vindicate_v ourselves_o from_o those_o odious_a slander_n which_o have_v be_v outrageous_o throw_v upon_o we_o particular_o in_o may_n 1687._o there_o come_v out_o a_o scandalous_a paper_n call_v a_o new_a test_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n loyalty_n the_o design_n of_o which_o paper_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o our_o ecclesiastical_a constitution_n as_o be_v now_o reform_v be_v hatch_v nourish_v and_o support_v to_o this_o day_n by_o disloyal_a and_o treacherous_a practice_n i_o need_v not_o prove_v that_o this_o be_v the_o pretence_n of_o the_o paper_n for_o we_o ourselves_o remember_v it_o sufficient_o and_o the_o author_n of_o it_o will_v not_o be_o sure_a pretend_v that_o i_o misrepresent_v he_o if_o all_o the_o instance_n he_o bring_v to_o prove_v his_o accusation_n have_v be_v true_a it_o have_v yet_o be_v no_o blemish_n to_o our_o church_n at_o all_o be_v a_o horrid_a practice_n of_o these_o adversary_n and_o they_o have_v be_v as_o loud_o tell_v of_o their_o reasoning_n against_o we_o to_o the_o damage_n and_o if_o they_o can_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o our_o common_a christianity_n and_o such_o among_o many_o other_o be_v this_o method_n of_o reason_v against_o man_n practice_n in_o spite_n of_o their_o principle_n for_o what_o if_o some_o of_o our_o member_n prove_v disloyal_a be_v yet_o no_o more_o reproach_n upon_o our_o ecclesiastical_a

his_o paper_n will_v have_v be_v good_a for_o nothing_o if_o his_o instance_n have_v be_v true_a but_o how_o utter_o false_a they_o be_v his_o judicious_a answerer_n have_v plentiful_o show_v these_o worthy_a person_n have_v do_v more_o than_o be_v necessary_a in_o expose_v this_o paper_n for_o every_o common_a reader_n discern_v the_o deceit_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o my_o intention_n to_o add_v any_o particular_a reflection_n though_o if_o i_o write_v to_o gratify_v any_o pique_n i_o can_v not_o forbear_v there_o be_v so_o many_o lewd_a thing_n in_o the_o paper_n which_o have_v not_o be_v yet_o expose_v but_o my_o design_n be_v only_o to_o show_v our_o unthinking_a adversary_n the_o plain_a consequence_n of_o it_o and_o how_o much_o mischief_n this_o paper_n and_o that_o which_o follow_v to_o abett_n it_o now_o do_v the_o royal_a cause_n till_o a_o mark_n of_o infamy_n be_v fix_v upon_o they_o for_o in_o a_o word_n the_o dispute_n be_v not_o between_o he_o and_o i_o but_o between_o these_o rascally_a paper_n and_o his_o most_o sacred_a majesty_n for_o the_o plain_a relation_n of_o the_o case_n be_v thus_o his_o majesty_n upon_o his_o come_n to_o the_o crown_n do_v gracious_o let_v i_o add_v and_o grateful_o acknowledge_v our_o loyalty_n his_o sacred_a word_n be_v these_o i_o know_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v for_o monarchy_n and_o the_o member_n of_o it_o have_v show_v themselves_o good_a and_o loyal_a subject_n and_o again_o at_o the_o open_n of_o the_o parliament_n may_v xxil_v 1685._o what_o i_o say_v to_o my_o privy_a council_n at_o my_o first_o come_v there_o i_o be_o desirous_a to_o renew_v to_o you_o wherein_o i_o full_o declare_v my_o opinion_n concern_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o member_n have_v show_v themselves_o eminent_o loyal_a in_o the_o worst_a of_o time_n in_o defence_n of_o my_o father_n and_o support_v of_o my_o brother_n of_o bless_a memory_n here_o be_v principle_n and_o practice_n too_o but_o this_o little_a author_n on_o the_o contrary_n say_v we_o must_v change_v our_o old_a principle_n of_o loyalty_n this_o sure_o be_v bad_a enough_o to_o be_v say_v direct_o in_o the_o face_n of_o our_o royal_a master_n and_o if_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n only_o methinks_v the_o paper_n shall_v not_o have_v a_o allowance_n to_o the_o print_n perhaps_o they_o will_v excuse_v themselves_o by_o say_v as_o they_o have_v do_v that_o we_o have_v forfeit_v the_o king_n protection_n and_o so_o he_o may_v break_v his_o word_n with_o we_o they_o have_v say_v so_o indeed_o to_o the_o king_n damage_n but_o be_v sure_a our_o present_a circumstance_n will_v convince_v they_o that_o be_v false_a and_o then_o there_o will_v be_v no_o remedy_n but_o this_o desperate_a paper_n must_v be_v stigmatise_v or_o else_o it_o will_v fly_v in_o the_o king_n face_n and_o deceive_v posterity_n into_o a_o opinion_n that_o he_o begin_v his_o reign_n with_o what_o i_o abhor_v to_o mention_v a_o solemn_a and_o deliberate_a falsehood_n in_o his_o mouth_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o another_o scene_n of_o mischief_n which_o will_v be_v sure_o follow_v if_o this_o paper_n be_v still_o protect_v we_o hear_v some_o report_n or_o amusement_n rather_o about_o the_o dutch_a preparation_n but_o when_o you_o send_v the_o king_n proclamation_n dated_n the_o xxviii_o of_o september_n last_o we_o then_o think_v serious_o of_o thing_n and_o stand_v on_o tiptoe_n as_o it_o be_v to_o see_v what_o be_v the_o matter_n and_o what_o measure_n will_v be_v take_v when_o behold_v we_o find_v the_o king_n so_o far_o from_o believe_v that_o we_o have_v forfeit_v our_o right_n to_o his_o promise_n and_o protection_n or_o that_o we_o be_v disloyal_a and_o treacherous_a as_o this_o pamphlet●landers_v we_o that_o he_o do_v not_o think_v himself_o safe_a till_o we_o again_o be_v make_v his_o lifeguard_n i_o may_v allege_v many_o thing_n to_o prove_v what_o i_o now_o assert_v but_o i_o only_o allege_v that_o famous_a proclamation_n as_o posterity_n will_v call_v it_o date_v the_o xvii_o of_o october_n last_o by_o which_o proclamation_n the_o king_n entrust_v again_o all_o his_o corporation_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n we_o thank_v the_o king_n
