be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o more_o sedate_n and_o serious_a thought_n and_o that_o as_o they_o expect_v mercy_n from_o god_n it_o be_v their_o obligation_n to_o make_v restitution_n of_o all_o the_o wrong_n they_o have_v do_v their_o innocent_a neighbour_n and_o public_o declare_v they_o guiltless_a who_o to_o their_o congregation_n they_o have_v so_o often_o proclaim_v for_o criminal_n these_o and_o many_o other_o may_v be_v the_o consequence_n and_o mischief_n of_o such_o kind_n of_o preach_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_o much_o better_a for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o the_o good_a of_o our_o neighbour_n for_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o clergy_n to_o forbear_v all_o such_o kind_n of_o reflection_n and_o invective_n in_o their_o sermon_n if_o they_o leave_v state-affair_n to_o the_o state_n or_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o make_v the_o enclosure_n of_o their_o province_n in_o the_o gospel_n it_o will_v be_v much_o more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o order_n of_o thing_n and_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o christendom_n and_o this_o be_v my_o first_o caution_n and_o desire_n that_o it_o be_v so_o second_o caution_n that_o if_o preacher_n do_v at_o any_o time_n think_v fit_a to_o lay_v open_a the_o crime_n of_o any_o people_n to_o their_o auditory_a they_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o urge_v their_o accusation_n far_o than_o they_o be_v certain_a and_o know_v they_o to_o be_v true._n and_o therefore_o for_o instance_n if_o there_o be_v find_v a_o ungrounded_a and_o ill-told_a tale_n of_o the_o papist_n contrive_v the_o death_n of_o charles_n i._o of_o a_o jesuit_n flourish_v his_o sword_n when_o the_o fatal_a stroke_n be_v give_v etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o convenient_a nor_o christian_n that_o this_o shall_v be_v present_o make_v a_o pulpit_n truth_n nor_o infinuate_v into_o the_o people_n for_o a_o matter_n beyond_o question_n to_o the_o defame_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o and_o therefore_o methinks_v it_o be_v not_o warrantable_a that_o upon_o such_o ground_n as_o these_o any_o one_o shall_v thus_o hold_v forth_o to_o the_o people_n viz._n before_o god_n and_o the_o world_n i_o confess_v myself_o abundant_o satisfy_v that_o popish_a jesuit_n 39_o be_v in_o that_o horrid_a plot_n the_o king_n murder_n to_o execute_v which_o some_o protestant_a jesuit_n be_v the_o instrument_n and_o hand_n that_o roman_a

to_o think_v they_o to_o be_v so_o it_o can_v not_o be_v well_o think_v that_o such_o a_o opportunity_n will_v be_v let_v slip_n or_o some_o such_o counsel_n not_o pitch_v upon_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o be_v now_o become_v their_o last_o refuge_n it_o seem_v and_o the_o argument_n in_o which_o i_o be_o persuade_v they_o expect_v most_o success_n they_o find_v how_o miserable_o fruitless_a

to_o carry_v on_o their_o own_o design_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v their_o emissary_n up_o and_o down_o to_o preach_v schism_n and_o sedition_n into_o people_n ear_n by_o such_o art_n as_o these_o they_o insinuate_v themselves_o among_o the_o poor_a delude_a people_n of_o our_o separate_a congregation_n and_o join_v with_o they_o in_o their_o clamour_n against_o the_o church_n of_o

think_v aught_o to_o be_v very_o cautious_a how_o they_o carry_v up_o such_o kind_n of_o story_n as_o these_o into_o the_o pulpit_n because_o though_o there_o may_v be_v ground_n enough_o to_o make_v

gospel_n i_o be_o for_o have_v nothing_o have_v admittance_n into_o the_o pulpit_n beside_o what_o be_v certain_o and_o unquestionable_o true_a that_o place_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v sacred_a and_o nothing_o have_v access_n there_o that_o be_v profane_a or_o in_o any_o likelihood_n may_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o lie._n it_o be_v necessary_a this_o caution_n be_v observe_v that_o so_o all_o
