a_o most_o serious_a expostulation_n with_o several_a of_o my_o fellow-citizen_n in_o reference_n to_o their_o stand_v so_o high_a for_o the_o d._n y_n interest_n at_o this_o juncture_n of_o time_n gentleman_n i_o hope_v no_o discreet_a and_o honest_a person_n will_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o any_o presumption_n but_o as_o necessary_a counsel_n humble_o to_o caution_n you_o my_o brethren_n with_o myself_o in_o time_n well_o to_o consider_v whither_o you_o be_v run_v what_o it_o be_v that_o you_o be_v do_v above_o all_o it_o behoove_v you_o to_o consider_v it_o at_o this_o time_n why_o shall_v we_o delight_v in_o our_o own_o destruction_n and_o help_n forward_o our_o own_o ruin_n perhaps_o you_o may_v think_v that_o be_v strange_a and_o impossible_a that_o any_o shall_v be_v so_o weak_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n for_o some_o to_o be_v blind_v delude_v and_o beguile_v it_o be_v but_o what_o be_v and_o have_v be_v too_o common_a in_o all_o age_n though_o certain_o for_o any_o nation_n or_o number_n of_o man_n to_o endeavour_v or_o effect_v their_o own_o destruction_n be_v one_o of_o the_o severe_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o can_v befall_v a_o people_n i_o pray_v god_n none_o of_o you_o may_v come_v under_o this_o curse_n of_o have_v eye_n and_o ear_n and_o see_v and_o hear_v not_o heart_n and_o will_v not_o understand_v 2._o but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o too_o many_o among_o you_o be_v run_v headlong_o the_o pathway_n of_o destruction_n by_o endeavour_v to_o foment_n division_n among_o those_o that_o be_v protestant_n and_o not_o only_o to_o keep_v open_a but_o to_o widen_v the_o breach_n betwixt_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o other_o protestant_n of_o different_a persuasion_n whereas_o neither_o of_o you_o can_v ever_o be_v safe_a if_o you_o do_v not_o both_o unite_v and_o join_v hand_n in_o hand_n against_o the_o common_a enemy_n viz._n the_o papist_n and_o popery_n as_o the_o case_n now_o stand_v with_o we_o this_o indeed_o may_v be_v unminded_a by_o many_o of_o you_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v so_o many_o blind_v daily_o endeavour_v to_o be_v put_v upon_o we_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n whereas_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v only_o make_v use_n of_o by_o the_o jesuit_n party_n as_o the_o papist_n stalking-horse_n and_o not_o by_o the_o true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o to_o blind_v they_o as_o coleman_n declaration_n run_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n though_o design_v and_o pen_v by_o he_o and_o other_o papist_n the_o great_a enemy_n in_o truth_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o most_o of_o the_o pamphlet_n that_o now_o come_v out_o under_o that_o notion_n be_v of_o the_o same_o stamp_n forge_v by_o the_o jesuit_n those_o firebrand_n of_o all_o europe_n you_o may_v easy_o guess_v at_o they_o by_o their_o extenuate_v the_o plot_n and_o advise_v we_o not_o to_o have_v any_o fear_n but_o to_o lessen_v our_o guard_n in_o the_o city_n by_o their_o endeavour_v to_o create_v and_o increase_v the_o division_n betwixt_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o other_o protestant_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a no_o sincere_a heart_a son_n of_o the_o church_n will_v do_v at_o this_o time_n but_o will_v disow_v and_o disclaim_v all_o such_o proceed_n as_o spurious_a you_o may_v easy_o know_v of_o what_o kidney_n they_o be_v by_o their_o plead_n for_o a_o popish_a successor_n etc._n etc._n now_o sir_n permit_v i_o to_o expostulate_v the_o case_n and_o tell_v you_o whoever_o you_o be_v that_o be_v for_o the_o d_n interest_n in_o the_o circumstance_n as_o he_o now_o stand_v with_o england_n be_v you_o not_o most_o certain_o if_o you_o do_v but_o right_o understand_v yourselves_o for_o these_o three_o interest_n viz._n first_o for_o the_o pope_n and_o papist_n interest_n second_o for_o the_o french_a interest_n three_o for_o arbitrary_a government_n i_o pray_v you_o consider_v you_o that_o be_v for_o the_o d._n in_o the_o circumstance_n he_o have_v at_o present_a bring_v himself_o and_o the_o nation_n under_o by_o his_o adhere_n to_o and_o so_o much_o countenance_v the_o papist_n and_o french_a interest_n be_v you_o not_o in_o plain_a english_a against_o these_o three_o thing_n though_o it_o may_v be_v ignorant_o yet_o in_o the_o sequel_n it_o may_v prove_v so_o viz._n 1._o against_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o pretestant_a religion_n 2._o against_o the_o interest_n of_o england_n your_o native_a country_n 3._o against_o the_o interest_n of_o all_o parliament_n and_o so_o against_o your_o own_o freedom_n and_o liberty_n as_o you_o be_v englishmen_n solomon_n say_v a_o wise_a man_n eye_n be_v in_o his_o head_n and_o be_v not_o a_o fool_n be_v too_o yes_o but_o he_o make_v no_o use_n of_o they_o to_o foresee_v the_o evil_a and_o avoid_v it_o and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o come_v under_o that_o denomination_n let_v we_o most_o serious_o ponder_v and_o consider_v these_o particular_n for_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o your_o religion_n your_o life_n your_o liberty_n your_o

and_o the_o impossibility_n of_o its_o be_v otherwise_o in_o all_o humane_a appearance_n i_o shall_v beg_v of_o you_o but_o to_o consider_v of_o these_o thing_n over_o again_o viz._n first_o if_o you_o stand_v for_o the_o d_n interest_n do_v you_o not_o undoubted_o so_o far_o stand_v for_o the_o pope_n and_o popish_a interest_n yea_o jesuit_n and_o all_o the_o worst_a of_o papist_n and_o by_o this_o you_o will_v give_v the_o great_a blow_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o ever_o it_o have_v since_o it_o be_v a_o church_n pretend_v what_o you_o will_v for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n while_o you_o be_v for_o the_o d._n you_o be_v certain_o the_o great_a enemy_n of_o it_o if_o you_o be_v for_o a_o popish_a successor_n or_o the_o d._n as_o a_o romanist_n you_o be_v in_o truth_n enemy_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o particular_a and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n in_o general_n for_o can_v you_o once_o imagine_v that_o by_o bring_v in_o a_o popish_a successor_n you_o will_v not_o inevitable_o set_v up_o popery_n will_v such_o a_o successor_n think_v you_o have_v so_o much_o love_n for_o another_o religion_n as_o his_o own_o or_o for_o those_o of_o another_o profession_n who_o by_o his_o persuasion_n he_o be_v oblige_v to_o esteem_v all_o damn_a heretic_n as_o for_o those_o of_o his_o own_o therefore_o will_v it_o not_o natural_o follow_v that_o he_o will_v advance_v the_o one_o and_o discountenance_n and_o depress_v the_o other_o nay_o do_v you_o forget_v that_o so_o far_o as_o he_o can_v he_o late_o do_v the_o same_o when_o he_o be_v in_o power_n so_o that_o the_o most_o ready_a way_n to_o get_v into_o office_n or_o preferment_n be_v either_o to_o turn_v papist_n or_o be_v a_o favourer_n of_o they_o and_o then_o such_o be_v quick_o bring_v in_o make_v governor_n of_o our_o castle_n and_o garrison_n captain_n and_o colonel_n of_o our_o force_n yea_o even_o captain_n of_o our_o man_n of_o war_n beside_o hundred_o of_o place_n at_o court_n no_o less_o than_o lord_n high_a treasurer_n of_o england_n witness_n clifford_n and_o late_o one_o of_o the_o clerk_n if_o not_o more_o under_o the_o treasurer_n danby_n must_v be_v a_o desperate_a subtle_a roman_a catholic_n for_o it_o seem_v he_o can_v find_v none_o so_o fit_a for_o he_o and_o what_o will_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o be_v in_o a_o little_a time_n think_v you_o will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o great_a weaken_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o lose_v so_o many_o member_n as_o by_o these_o do_n have_v within_o this_o ten_o year_n be_v seduce_v from_o she_o and_o so_o many_o of_o her_o member_n turn_v out_o and_o keep_v out_o of_o place_n of_o trust_n profit_n and_o honour_n whilst_o her_o enemy_n be_v place_v in_o they_o and_o will_v not_o this_o think_v you_o cause_n great_a number_n to_o become_v roman_a catholic_n some_o for_o favour_n some_o for_o fear_v some_o for_o office_n and_o other_o for_o profit_n and_o by_o persuasion_n beside_o very_a many_o by_o example_n who_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o great_a piece_n of_o godliness_n or_o at_o least_o good_a policy_n to_o be_v of_o their_o prince_n religion_n i_o wonder_v any_o man_n can_v be_v so_o weak_a as_o to_o think_v these_o do_n will_v make_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n sure_o such_o must_v strange_o be_v infatuate_v and_o beside_o consider_v for_o you_o to_o endeavour_v

to_o make_v one_o who_o be_v a_o papist_n head_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n you_o labour_v thereby_o to_o make_v our_o church_n a_o great_a monster_n for_o if_o our_o head_n reckon_v as_o he_o then_o must_v we_o his_o body_n heretic_n rot_a and_o damn_a where_o be_v our_o body_n where_o will_v be_v our_o church_n what_o agreement_n between_o the_o head_n and_o body_n will_v it_o not_o inevitable_o run_v into_o confusion_n shall_v we_o have_v a_o father_n of_o our_o church_n who_o by_o his_o own_o faith_n be_v oblige_v as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v to_o destroy_v she_o and_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o romish_a principle_n to_o deal_v with_o she_o as_o a_o harlot_n therefore_o if_o you_o set_v up_o his_o interest_n farewell_n church_n of_o england_n farewell_o protestant_a religion_n in_o england_n there_o be_v no_o medium_fw-la in_o the_o world_n consider_v the_o power_n when_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o implacable_a restlessness_n of_o the_o jesuit_n therefore_o serious_o consider_v of_o it_o you_o see_v plain_o that_o so_o far_o as_o you_o be_v for_o this_o interest_n you_o be_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v it_o possible_a you_o can_v

will_v you_o endeavour_v to_o put_v the_o protestant_a religion_n in_o as_o great_a hazard_n of_o the_o same_o persecution_n once_o more_o oh_o let_v your_o tongue_n rather_o cleave_v to_o your_o
