of_o this_o special_a sect_n i_o principal_o mean_v when_o i_o speak_v of_o puritan_n and_o partly_o indeed_o i_o give_v this_o stile_n to_o such_o brainsick_a and_o heady_a preacher_n their_o

will_v humble_o ask_v then_o how_o a_o grand-jury_n can_v swear_v in_o knowledge_n judgement_n and_o righteousness_n with_o truth_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o those_o word_n of_o the_o

by_o his_o majesty_n in_o his_o time_n it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v to_o all_o the_o world_n though_o it_o be_v not_o expect_v from_o man_n of_o mean_a occupation_n to_o know_v it_o that_o the_o dissenter_n do_v general_o detest_v the_o thought_n of_o imagine_v themselves_o the_o only_a pure_a people_n or_o to_o be_v without_o sin_n or_o to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n in_o

of_o faith_n and_o fundamental_a point_n of_o religion_n nay_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v interpret_v to_o speak_v of_o none_o but_o the_o family_n of_o love_n or_o such_o as_o maintain_v their_o error_n wherein_o the_o generality_n of_o protestant_a dissenter_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o concern_v or_o involve_v however_o let_v his_o majesty_n proceed_v it_o be_v only_o of_o this_o kind_n of_o man_n in_o this_o book_n say_v the_o king_n that_o i_o write_v so_o sharp_o but_o all_o that_o other_o part_n n._n b._n i_o protest_v upon_o my_o honour_n i_o

many_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o be_v persuade_v that_o their_o bishop_n smell_n of_o a_o papal_a supremacy_n that_o the_o surplice_n the_o corner_a cap_n and_o such_o like_a be_v the_o outward_a badge_n of_o popish_a error_n may_v we_o then_o believe_v his_o majesty_n word_n then_o how_o can_v they_o justify_v their_o oath_n who_o swear_v and_o declare_v that_o the_o king_n word_n may_v as_o true_o be_v affirm_v of_o the_o present_a dissenter_n who_o the_o pamphleteer_n be_v please_v to_o style_v sectary_n as_o of_o those_o puritan_n when_o the_o king_n

that_o their_o surplice_n their_o corner_a cap_n and_o such_o like_a usage_n as_o the_o cross_n in_o one_o sacrament_n kneel_v in_o the_o other_o be_v badge_n of_o popish_a error_n however_o they_o
