be_v too_o full_a of_o your_o cruelty_n to_o those_o that_o be_v contrary_a mind_v to_o you_o touch_v the_o pretend_a authority_n of_o your_o pope_n matthew_n paris_z a_o historian_n of_o your_o own_o

i_o yet_o expect_v you_o will_v object_n why_o shall_v we_o be_v thus_o severe_o punish_v for_o our_o conscience_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v punish_v for_o his_o conscience_n answ_n 1._o to_o

will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o look_v into_o a_o book_n call_v the_o cabbala_n or_o secret_n of_o state_n state_n be_v a_o book_n publish_v in_o the_o late_a troublesome_a time_n you_o will_v there_o

question_n of_o the_o say_a secretary_n on_o behalf_n of_o the_o papist_n of_o those_o time_n viz._n why_o shall_v the_o romish_a catholic_n of_o england_n be_v so_o severe_o handle_v as_o they_o then_o be_v by_o her_o law_n for_o their_o conscience_n walsingham_n answer_v he_o to_o this_o effect_n as_o far_o as_o my_o memory_n serve_v i_o to_o remember_v for_o i_o have_v not_o the_o book_n by_o i_o 1._o that_o the_o queen_n punish_v none_o of_o the_o papist_n for_o their_o conscience_n for_o this_o be_v a_o rule_n with_o she_o that_o conscience_n be_v not_o to_o be_v force_v but_o to_o be_v rectify_v and_o reduce_v by_o the_o help_n of_o all_o good_a mean_n and_o instruction_n and_o by_o the_o aid_n of_o time_n 2._o another_o rule_n that_o she_o also_o observe_v be_v to_o this_o effect_n that_o if_o man_n who_o pretend_v conscience_n do_v grow_v seditious_a and_o disturb_v the_o government_n than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o conscience_n but_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n may_v punish_v such_o people_n notwithstanding_o their_o pretend_a conscience_n and_o show_v he_o the_o many_o disturbance_n the_o papist_n attempt_v against_o the_o queen_n government_n and_o design_n against_o her_o person_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o she_o make_v so_o severe_a law_n and_o i_o think_v none_o of_o you_o can_v deny_v the_o truth_n and_o wholesomeness_n of_o these_o rule_n
