religion_n have_v any_o influence_n upon_o his_o be_v admit_v then_o another_o querie_n may_v be_v whether_o the_o admit_v a_o presbyterian_a successor_n be_v the_o best_a way_n of_o preserve_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o so_o a_o independent_a anabaptist_n or_o quake_a successor_n then_o i_o be_o to_o ask_v what_o you_o mean_v by_o protestant_a religion_n whether_o that_o establish_v by_o

reason_n the_o querie_n may_v be_v whether_o popery_n or_o presbytery_n be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o destroy_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o querie_n too_o hard_o for_o i_o to_o determine_v i_o know_v the_o papist_n have_v will_n enough_o but_o the_o presbyter_n have_v constant_o have_v the_o better_a of_o they_o as_o have_v better_a advantage_n be_v a_o seem_a

if_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o change_v the_o scene_n and_o send_v we_o a_o king_n of_o another_o temper_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o then_o the_o best_a way_n to_o preserve_v the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n still_o that_o be_v to_o fear_n god_n and_o honour_n the_o king_n and_o we_o need_v not_o fear_v but_o that_o the_o god_n who_o we_o serve_v who_o have_v the_o heart_n of_o king_n in_o his_o hand_n will_v so_o order_v thing_n that_o by_o our_o peaceable_a conversation_n in_o such_o a_o juncture_n most_o of_o those_o dismal_a apprehension_n we_o

of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o i_o think_v i_o may_v challenge_v all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o several_a persuasion_n in_o the_o world_n to_o say_v and_o prove_v they_o hold_v this_o doctrine_n for_o certain_o if_o it_o be_v so_o those_o desperate_a tenant_n of_o murder_v of_o prince_n etc._n etc._n will_v never_o have_v be_v hear_v of_o in_o the_o world_n and_o whether_o the_o

to_o affirm_v that_o if_o almighty_a god_n in_o his_o providence_n shall_v please_v to_o send_v we_o a_o popish_a prince_n the_o best_a way_n to_o preserve_v the_o protestant_a religion_n in_o the_o
