now_o to_o treat_v the_o man_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o the_o same_o brutal_a excess_n that_o he_o bestow_v so_o late_o and_o so_o liberal_o on_o the_o dissenter_n as_o if_o his_o design_n be_v to_o render_v himself_o equal_o odious_a to_o all_o mankind_n iii_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v just_o expostulate_v when_o she_o be_v treat_v as_o seditious_a after_o she_o have_v render_v the_o high_a service_n to_o the_o civil_a authority_n that_o any_o church_n now_o on_o earth_n have_v do_v she_o have_v beat_v down_o all_o the_o principle_n of_o rebellion_n with_o more_o force_n and_o learning_n than_o any_o body_n of_o man_n have_v ever_o yet_o do_v and_o have_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o enrage_v her_o enemy_n and_o lose_v her_o friend_n even_o for_o those_o from_o who_o the_o more_o learned_a of_o her_o member_n know_v well_o what_o they_o may_v expect_v and_o since_o our_o author_n like_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o snake_n in_o one_o bosom_n so_o well_o i_o can_v tell_v he_o that_o according_a to_o the_o apologue_n we_o take_v up_o and_o shelter_v a_o interest_n that_o be_v almost_o dead_a and_o by_o that_o warmth_n give_v it_o life_n which_o yet_o now_o with_o the_o snake_n in_o the_o bosom_n be_v like_a to_o bite_v we_o to_o death_n we_o do_v not_o say_v we_o be_v the_o only_a church_n that_o have_v principle_n of_o loyalty_n but_o this_o we_o may_v say_v that_o we_o be_v the_o church_n in_o the_o world_n that_o carry_v they_o the_o high_a as_o we_o know_v a_o church_n that_o of_o all_o other_o sink_v they_o they_o the_o low_a we_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o we_o be_v inerrable_a in_o this_o point_n but_o acknowledge_v that_o some_o of_o our_o clergy_n miscarry_v in_o it_o upon_o king_n edward_n death_n yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n other_o of_o our_o communion_n adhere_v more_o steady_o to_o their_o loyalty_n in_o favour_n of_o queen_n mary_n than_o she_o do_v to_o the_o promise_n that_o she_o make_v to_o they_o upon_o this_o subject_a our_o author_n by_o his_o false_a quotation_n of_o history_n force_v i_o to_o set_v the_o reader_n right_a which_o if_o it_o prove_v to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o his_o cause_n his_o friend_n may_v thank_v he_o for_o it_o i_o will_v not_o enter_v into_o so_o tedious_a a_o digression_n as_o the_o justify_v queen_n elizabeth_n be_v legitimate_a and_o the_o throw_v the_o bastardy_n on_o queen_n mary_n must_v carry_v i_o to_o this_o i_o will_v only_o say_v that_o it_o be_v make_v out_o that_o according_a to_o the_o best_a sort_n of_o argument_n use_v by_o the_o church_n of_o

soon_o set_v up_o by_o she_o than_o she_o enact_v those_o bloody_a cannibal_n law_n to_o hang_v draw_v and_o quarter_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o live_a god._n but_o since_o these_o law_n disturb_v he_o so_o much_o what_o do_v he_o think_v of_o the_o law_n of_o burn_v the_o poor_a servant_n of_o the_o live_a god_n because_o they_o can_v give_v divine_a worship_n to_o that_o which_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v only_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n the_o representation_n he_o give_v of_o this_o part_n of_o our_o history_n be_v so_o false_a that_o though_o upon_o queen_n elizabeth_n come_v to_o

of_o her_o reign_n a_o war_n be_v form_v by_o the_o bull_n of_o deposition_n between_o the_o queen_n and_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n so_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a piece_n of_o precaution_n to_o

iv_o i_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v any_o great_a cause_n to_o value_v herself_o upon_o her_o fidelity_n to_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o though_o our_o

his_o own_o defence_n this_o be_v too_o bold_a a_o thing_n to_o be_v deliver_v so_o crude_o at_o this_o time_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v perpetual_a and_o can_v never_o be_v cancel_v by_o any_o

fly_v to_o the_o relief_n that_o this_o law_n may_v give_v she_o unless_o she_o be_v restrain_v by_o the_o loyalty_n of_o our_o church_n our_o author_n value_v his_o party_n much_o upon_o their_o

that_o they_o show_v either_o in_o the_o first_o massacre_n or_o in_o the_o progress_n of_o that_o rebellion_n their_o message_n to_o the_o pope_n to_o the_o court_n of_o france_n and_o to_o the_o
