reign_n until_o the_o three_o year_n of_o our_o now_o sovereign_n government_n the_o papist_n have_v continual_o labour_v to_o advance_v the_o supremacy_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o to_o accomplish_v they_o have_v contend_v thirty_o four_o year_n in_o which_o time_n they_o have_v not_o omit_v to_o practice_v treason_n and_o rebellion_n only_o among_o we_o here_o at_o home_n but_o have_v also_o complot_v to_o bring_v upon_o we_o foreign_a invasion_n &_o that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n so_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v dismiss_v of_o one_o hope_n they_o present_o set_v a_o foot_n some_o other_o project_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o and_o still_o be_v by_o the_o love_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o continual_o prevent_v at_o last_o take_v counsel_n with_o hell_n and_o satan_n they_o have_v practise_v a_o most_o hellish_a attempt_n wherein_o their_o divellishnesse_n bring_v itself_o near_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o devil_n make_v fire_n and_o brimstone_n the_o instrument_n of_o our_o destruction_n and_o though_o the_o principal_a actor_n of_o that_o evil_a have_v thereby_o themselves_o destroy_v yet_o the_o former_a experience_n of_o their_o

all_o the_o several_a complot_v treason_n and_o that_o the_o papist_n among_o we_o can_v general_o be_v accuse_v yet_o thus_o much_o i_o must_v say_v those_o person_n and_o that_o religion_n whereby_o

will_v not_o so_o fast_o come_v swym_v from_o tiber_n hither_o to_o arrive_v at_o tyburn_n only_o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o if_o in_o great_a britain_n there_o be_v no_o papist_n this_o

vehemency_n they_o contend_v the_o world_n be_v make_v believe_v that_o the_o advancement_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n for_o which_o they_o strive_v wherein_o they_o join_v themselves_o unto_o the_o pope_n because_o there_o be_v no_o religion_n good_a but_o that_o which_o be_v by_o the_o pope_n allow_v wherein_o my_o purpose_n be_v to_o bind_v all_o papist_n unto_o their_o own_o

there_o be_v not_o in_o it_o so_o much_o as_o may_v convenient_o be_v and_o that_o he_o will_v also_o allow_v it_o unto_o we_o without_o change_v any_o part_n so_o as_o her_o majesty_n will_v

in_o our_o church_n we_o have_v a_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n sufficient_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n dear_a countryman_n we_o have_v then_o enough_o and_o need_v not_o the_o help_n
