a_o account_n of_o the_o present_a condition_n of_o the_o protestant_n in_o the_o palatinate_n in_o two_o letter_n to_o a_o english_a gentleman_n foelix_fw-la quam_fw-la faciunt_fw-la aliena_fw-la

best_a country_n in_o the_o world_n who_o natural_a fertility_n and_o plenty_n be_v such_o that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o recover_v itself_o soon_o after_o a_o war_n than_o it_o but_o affair_n at_o this_o time_n be_v such_o that_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o we_o shall_v see_v it_o in_o that_o flourish_a condition_n it_o be_v former_o when_o you_o see_v it_o in_o your_o travel_n during_o the_o war_n our_o hope_n to_o have_v our_o condition_n better_v by_o the_o peace_n that_o shall_v ensue_v make_v we_o cheerful_o suffer_v hope_v to_o enjoy_v our_o estate_n and_o religion_n as_o

bloodthirsty_a zealot_n for_o religion_n though_o they_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o opinion_n yet_o we_o suffer_v they_o to_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o be_v use_v kind_o for_o requital_n of_o which_o

that_o shelter_n and_o countenance_n that_o we_o afford_v they_o by_o which_o mean_v a_o new_a fire_n be_v kindle_v here_o in_o the_o palatinate_n so_o that_o we_o protestant_n be_v in_o as_o ill_a a_o case_n as_o the_o french_a reform_v be_v in_o france_n and_o worse_o than_o you_o be_v in_o england_n under_o the_o late_a king_n james_n in_o this_o that_o you_o have_v only_o the_o storm_n

they_o in_o their_o superstition_n with_o permission_n i_o will_v here_o make_v some_o reflection_n how_o little_a consonant_n it_o be_v to_o the_o prince_n secular_a interest_n to_o countenance_n innovation_n contrary_a to_o the_o say_v and_o practice_n of_o his_o predecessor_n by_o which_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o none_o of_o the_o romish_a persuasion_n be_v to_o be_v trust_v but_o they_o will_v when_o opportunity_n offer_v itself_o omit_v nothing_o to_o propagate_v their_o religion_n to_o effect_v which_o they_o will_v wade_v through_o all_o difficulty_n though_o they_o thereby_o sacrifice_v the_o peace_n and_o riches_n of_o their_o country_n and_o their_o faith_n give_v so_o inherent_a be_v persecution_n to_o popery_n that_o to_o be_v a_o papist_n and_o a_o persecutor_n may_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o convertible_a term_n that_o imply_v the_o same_o thing_n these_o be_v those_o who_o be_v for_o damn_v all_o that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o opinion_n a_o true_a mark_n of_o a_o bad_a cause_n that_o dare_v not_o trust_v god_n to_o convert_v soul_n his_o way_n but_o to_o assist_v he_o in_o his_o work_n will_v use_v fire_n faggot_n dragoon_n force_n terror_n and_o all_o to_o constrain_v those_o that_o differ_v from_o they_o to_o a_o compliance_n but_o they_o consider_v not_o that_o conscience_n can_v be_v force_v though_o the_o will_n and_o body_n may_v consent_v and_o yield_v to_o forbid_v compliance_n yet_o the_o conscience_n will_v ever_o bear_v inward_a testimony_n against_o all_o such_o sinful_a consent_n let_v the_o impose_v be_v never_o so_o dreadful_a to_o nature_n for_o we_o be_v teach_v not_o to_o fear_v man_n but_o he_o that_o with_o the_o body_n can_v destroy_v the_o soul_n also_o but_o this_o be_v the_o sad_a state_n of_o those_o country_n that_o fall_v into_o popish_a hand_n who_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v bias_v by_o a_o bigoted_a clergy_n by_o who_o they_o be_v influence_v to_o become_v unnatural_a to_o their_o subject_n and_o

these_o truth_n may_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o sovereign_n and_o let_v they_o see_v the_o selfishness_n of_o these_o caterpillar_n how_o have_v they_o devour_v the_o laity_n and_o clothe_v themselves_o with_o the_o fat_a and_o fair_a of_o their_o effect_n how_o many_o family_n have_v be_v impoverish_v to_o enrich_v monastery_n and_o abbey_n and_o religious_a society_n who_o be_v so_o many_o

it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o prince_n in_o this_o age_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n know_v their_o interest_n so_o effectual_o as_o to_o banish_v that_o vermin_n and_o as_o in_o
