in_o queen_n mary_n time_n against_o the_o protestant_n neither_o do_v i_o any_o way_n excuse_v they_o but_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o every_o popish_a successor_n shall_v take_v example_n by_o

the_o protestant_a religion_n have_v scarce_o take_v root_n and_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o be_v suppose_v that_o she_o find_v the_o number_n of_o papist_n equal_v that_o of_o the_o protestant_n at_o her_o entrance_n to_o the_o kingdom_n especial_o if_o we_o reckon_v into_o the_o account_n those_o who_o be_v the_o trimmer_n of_o the_o time_n i_o mean_v such_o who_o private_o be_v papist_n though_o under_o her_o protestant_a predecessor_n they_o appear_v otherwise_o therefore_o her_o difficulty_n in_o persecute_v her_o reform_a subject_n be_v far_o from_o be_v so_o insuperable_a as_o we_o now_o be_v when_o the_o strength_n and_o number_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v so_o very_o inconsiderable_a they_o who_o cast_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o ready_a to_o embrace_v popery_n be_v either_o knave_n enough_o to_o know_v they_o lie_v or_o fool_n enough_o not_o to_o have_v consider_v the_o tenant_n of_o that_o church_n which_o be_v diametrical_o opposite_a to_o popery_n and_o more_o so_o than_o any_o of_o the_o sect_n not_o to_o insist_v on_o the_o quiet_a and_o security_n which_o protestant_a subject_n at_o this_o day_n enjoy_v in_o some_o part_n of_o germany_n under_o

quiet_o possess_v for_o a_o long_a time_n after_o his_o death_n the_o french_a history_n be_v full_a of_o example_n manifest_o prove_v that_o the_o fierce_a of_o their_o popish_a prince_n have_v not_o

of_o this_o truth_n i_o be_o not_o much_o give_v to_o quotation_n but_o davila_n lie_v open_a for_o every_o man_n to_o read_v toleration_n and_o free_a exercise_n of_o religion_n grant_v more_o ample_o in_o some_o more_o restraind_o in_o other_o be_v no_o sign_n that_o those_o prince_n hold_v themselves_o oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o destroy_v man_n of_o a_o different_a persuasion_n it_o will_v be_v say_v those_o toleration_n be_v gain_v by_o force_n of_o arm_n in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v no_o great_a credit_n to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n that_o the_o protestant_n in_o france_n be_v actual_o rebel_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o be_v only_a geneva_n protestant_n and_o their_o opinion_n be_v far_o distant_a from_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o teach_v passive_a obedience_n to_o all_o her_o son_n and_o not_o to_o propagate_v religion_n by_o rebellion_n but_o it_o be_v further_a to_o be_v consider_v that_o those_o french_a king_n though_o papist_n think_v the_o preservation_n of_o their_o subject_n and_o the_o public_a peace_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v before_o the_o gratification_n of_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n and_o though_o the_o number_n of_o the_o papist_n exceed_v that_o of_o the_o protestant_n in_o the_o proportion_n of_o three_o to_o one_o though_o the_o protestant_n be_v always_o beat_v when_o they_o fight_v and_o though_o the_o pope_n press_v continual_o with_o exhortation_n and_o threaten_n to_o extirpate_v calvinism_n yet_o king_n think_v it_o enough_o to_o continue_v in_o their_o own_o religion_n themselves_o without_o force_v it_o upon_o their_o subject_n much_o less_o destroy_v they_o who_o profess_v another_o but_o it_o will_v be_v object_v those_o edict_n of_o toleration_n be_v not_o keep_v on_o the_o papist_n side_n they_o will_v answer_v because_o the_o protestant_n stretch_v their_o privilege_n further_o than_o be_v grant_v and_o that_o they_o often_o relapse_v into_o rebellion_n but_o whether_o or_o no_o the_o protestant_n be_v in_o fault_n i_o leave_v history_n to_o determine_v it_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n that_o they_o be_v barbarous_o massacre_v under_o the_o
