long_a the_o characterizer_n say_v he_o tell_v we_o p._n 3_o that_o in_o a_o bigoted_a prince_n his_o moral_n shall_v be_v slave_n to_o his_o zeal_n and_o then_o i_o be_o ashamed_a that_o any_o man_n that_o pretend_v to_o write_v sense_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o persuade_v we_o that_o a_o popish_a bigot_n and_o a_o man_n of_o courage_n and_o wisdom_n in_o a_o successor_n shall_v not_o go_v further_o towards_o the_o establish_n of_o popery_n than_o a_o coward_n and_o a_o fool._n i_o will_v allow_v that_o he_o that_o be_v dare_v enough_o to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n and_o subtle_a enough_o to_o play_v his_o game_n to_o the_o most_o advantage_n be_v much_o more_o capable_a than_o a_o man_n less_o bold_a and_o crafty_a of_o bring_v his_o end_n to_o pass_v but_o what_o be_v this_o

his_o royal_a highness_n say_v l'estrange_n will_v have_v play_v the_o hypocrite_n as_o the_o characterizer_n charge_v it_o upon_o he_o he_o will_v have_v render_v himself_o a_o protestant_n to_o

believe_v that_o his_o squeamishness_n against_o the_o test_n and_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n make_v our_o conscientious_a heir_n quit_v his_o honourable_a employmentn_n as_o we_o better_o remember_v it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o test_n as_o the_o test-maker_n that_o disgust_v he_o his_o natural_a antipathy_n to_o parliament_n his_o continual_a little_a thought_n of_o that_o great_a

to_o his_o divinity_n so_o that_o in_o short_a his_o pride_n not_o his_o conscience_n get_v the_o ascendent_n and_o whatever_o advantage_n he_o may_v have_v gain_v by-keeping_a his_o employment_n and_o swallow_v the_o oath_n yet_o such_o be_v his_o perverse_a and_o stubborn_a haughtiness_n that_o he_o will_v rather_o cry_v sink_v interest_n perish_v succession_n and_o even_o popedom_n itself_o rather_o than_o truckle_n to_o what_o i_o scorn_v the_o reader_n will_v take_v notice_n here_o of_o the_o shift_a of_o the_o scene_n and_o that_o the_o business_n be_v no_o long_o the_o popish_a

battery_n from_o the_o opinion_n and_o profession_n of_o the_o successor_n to_o the_o temperament_n of_o his_o humour_n and_o the_o same_o bolt_n strike_v a_o perverse_a king_n to_o the_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o a_o perverse_a successor_n nay_o the_o character_n lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o itself_o in_o this_o paragraph_n and_o cut_v the_o very_a throat_n of_o its_o own_o argument_n what_o be_v

the_o character-man_n have_v discharge_v the_o successor_n of_o the_o most_o dangerous_a point_n out_o of_o his_o own_o mouth_n why_o here_o be_v no_o popery_n in_o the_o case_n it_o seem_v perish_v
