they_o themselves_o shall_v see_v they_o be_v able_a to_o effect_v a_o more_o perfect_a reformation_n 4._o that_o the_o practice_n of_o these_o successor_n of_o the_o first_o reformer_n have_v be_v unreasonable_a wicked_a impious_a and_o cruel_a in_o the_o imposition_n of_o several_a thing_n which_o they_o themselves_o have_v own_v not_o to_o be_v necessary_a and_o at_o best_a but_o

approve_v of_o these_o measure_n they_o have_v take_v towards_o the_o nonconformist_n but_o yet_o have_v connive_v at_o they_o either_o by_o their_o submission_n or_o their_o silence_n and_o have_v not_o vigorous_o enough_o set_v themselves_o against_o the_o corruption_n that_o so_o much_o prevail_v from_o all_o these_o hypothesis_n i_o gather_v these_o conclusion_n which_o natural_o follow_v the_o aforesaid_a premise_n 1._o that_o several_a bishop_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o dr._n floyd_n dr._n tillotson_n dr._n stillingfleet_n dr._n patrick_n that_o be_v

have_v be_v possible_a for_o any_o other_o corrupt_a party_n to_o do_v by_o all_o their_o irregularity_n and_o advance_v towards_o rome_n 2._o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o these_o good_a bishop_n and_o doctor_n before_o mention_v what_o the_o politic_a sage_n have_v observe_v of_o anselm_n bernard_n thomas_n aquinas_n john_n of_o salisbury_n and_o gerson_n that_o by_o their_o great_a repute_n of_o piety_n and_o learning_n they_o have_v contribute_v more_o to_o the_o strengthen_n of_o the_o pope_n tyranny_n and_o religion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n than_o a_o hundred_o such_o as_o gregory_n the_o vii_o and_o boniface_n the_o viii_o be_v able_a to_o effect_v by_o their_o tyranny_n and_o the_o wickedness_n and_o impurity_n of_o their_o life_n for_o the_o discredit_v of_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o religion_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v how_o much_o the_o nonconformist_n of_o england_n suffer_v in_o the_o esteem_n of_o our_o great_a man_n of_o the_o protestant_a party_n in_o europe_n who_o hear_v people_n talk_v of_o the_o learning_n and_o piety_n of_o so_o many_o english_a bishop_n and_o doctor_n all_o conformist_n and_o who_o resemble_v those_o

refuse_v to_o conform_v to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n after_o the_o example_n of_o those_o four_o doctor_n 4._o that_o how_o good_a soever_o the_o intention_n of_o some_o of_o the_o bishop_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v be_v that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o temper_n of_o spirit_n with_o these_o four_o doctor_n and_o what_o kindness_n soever_o they_o may_v have_v for_o the_o nonconformist_n it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v ever_o come_v over_o to_o they_o and_o consent_n to_o term_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o moderation_n so_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v
