popish_a pretender_n ●_o upon_o the_o throne_n of_o great_a britain_n all_o their_o action_n tend_v to_o this_o however_o some_o of_o they_o deceive_v we_o by_o act_v more_o cunning_o and_o cautious_o

have_v feel_v if_o our_o representative_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o speak_v for_o we_o in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o much_o more_o may_v we_o suffer_v in_o public_a national_a affair_n if_o we_o do_v choose_v man_n that_o have_v ability_n to_o debate_n and_o reason_n in_o that_o assembly_n and_o believe_v i_o neighbour_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o

a_o dialogue_n between_o adam_n and_o john_n two_o citizen_n of_o bristol_n about_o elect_v of_o parliament-man_n adam_n good_a morrow_n neighbour_n why_o in_o such_o haste_n john_n not_o in_o such_o

i_o will_v allow_v the_o parson_n of_o our_o parish_n to_o be_v a_o ingenious_a man_n a_o man_n of_o learning_n a_o good_a preacher_n and_o ●_o of_o a_o good_a life_n and_o that_o be_v more_o than_o every_o parish_n in_o our_o county_n can_v say_v but_o he_o be_v a_o highflyer_n john_n a_o highflyer_n pray_v what_o be_v that_o adam_n neighbour_n i_o be_o no_o university_n scholar_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o pretend_v to_o make_v a_o formal_a definition_n as_o our_o parson_n do_v sometime_o but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o upon_o a_o good_a many_o year_n observation_n i_o find_v to_o be_v the_o character_n and_o practice_n of_o a_o highfly_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o may_v have_v observe_v the_o same_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n charles_n ii_o and_o the_o late_a king_n james_n who_o follow_v popish_a and_o french_a council_n the_o highflyer_n preach_v up_o passive_a obedience_n to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n they_o be_v for_o set_v up_o the_o

from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n only_o in_o some_o few_o indifferent_a ceremony_n but_o will_v let_v alone_o the_o papist_n who_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o essential_a point_n of_o faith_n when_o the_o late_a king_n william_n come_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o be_v the_o instrument_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o save_v we_o from_o popery_n and_o french_a slavery_n they_o will_v never_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v for_o toleration_n of_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n they_o continue_v their_o clamour_n against_o the_o present_a queen_n and_o endeavour_v to_o affright_v people_n with_o a_o opinion_n that_o the_o church_n be_v in_o danger_n because_o she_o will_v not_o help_v they_o to_o break_v the_o toleration_n act._n the_o highflyer_n be_v for_o set_v up_o the_o clergy_n as_o a_o independent_a state_n from_o that_o of_o lord_n and_o commons_o the_o highflyer_n be_v for_o establish_v to_o the_o clergy_n a_o power_n above_o that_o of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o have_v down_o right_o quarrel_v with_o our_o archbishop_n and_o other_o our_o bishop_n man_n of_o temper_n piety_n learning_n and_o moderation_n because_o they_o have_v thwart_v these_o their_o pernicious_a design_n in_o their_o convocation_n the_o dispute_n between_o the_o highflying_a parson_n and_o the_o bishop_n in_o convocation_n be_v what_o perhaps_o you_o and_o i_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o of_o that_o but_o you_o and_o i_o may_v plain_o see_v and_o observe_v that_o in_o all_o election_n of_o parliament-man_n during_o the_o late_a king_n william_n reign_n and_o now_o in_o her_o majesty_n reign_n the_o highflying_a parson_n always_o make_v a_o interest_n and_o vote_v for_o the_o same_o person_n as_o the_o papist_n nonjuror_n and_o jacobite_n have_v vote_v for_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v never_o take_v the_o advice_n of_o a_o highflying_a parson_n in_o the_o case_n of_o election_n for_o parliament_n john_n why_o do_v you_o speak_v of_o jacobite_n i_o be_v tell_v there_o be_v no_o jacobite_n leave_v since_o the_o late_a king_n james_n die_v adam_n our_o parson_n indeed_o tell_v we_o so_o other_o day_n at_o the_o ....._o but_o what_o think_v you_o of_o those_o who_o within_o 18_o month_n past_o fell_a foul_a upon_o the_o government_n for_o advance_v to_o the_o emperor_n a_o inconsiderable_a sum_n and_o that_o but_o a_o little_a while_n before_o it_o will_v become_v due_a by_o treaty_n to_o remount_v his_o cavalry_n and_o recruit_v

the_o french_a and_o yet_o it_o be_v then_o very_o well_o know_v that_o it_o be_v to_o the_o advance_v of_o these_o two_o sum_n together_o with_o the_o money_n lend_v upon_o the_o silesia_n fund_z that_o we_o owe_v the_o defence_n of_o turin_n the_o victory_n obtain_v by_o prince_n eugene_n over_o the_o french_a there_o the_o raise_v of_o that_o siege_n and_o recover_v all_o that_o part_n of_o

of_o wales_n be_v pray_v for_o by_o the_o title_n of_o king_n james_n iii_o and_o during_o the_o late_a expect_a invasion_n there_o be_v many_o repeat_v prayer_n make_v in_o public_a by_o person_n

but_o i_o think_v i_o have_v say_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v you_o that_o there_o be_v jacobite_n still_o in_o great_a britain_n all_o the_o highflying_a highchurch_n notion_n border_n upon_o popery_n and_o such_o of_o the_o highflyer_n as_o pretend_v not_o to_o be_v jacobite_n be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a for_o whatever_o they_o may_v pretend_v all_o their_o measure_n tend_v that_o way_n and_o
