they_o that_o rail_v against_o the_o true_a protestant_n be_v papist_n but_o you_o university_n man_n rail_v against_o the_o true_a protestant_n call_v they_o presbyterian_a bitch_n tarbox_n you_o

he_o throw_v your_o life_n and_o fortune_n at_o his_o foot_n so_o bewitch_a such_o a_o devilish_a religion_n be_v popery_n reason_n good_a sir_n not_o so_o fast_o i_o can_v give_v one_o answer_n to_o both_o these_o argument_n as_o you_o call_v '_o they_o but_o as_o to_o the_o major_a of_o the_o first_o they_o that_o rail_v against_o true_a protestant_n be_v papist_n i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v by_o true_a protestant_n the_o presbyterian_o nonconformist_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n though_o the_o word_n do_v not_o import_v it_o it_o be_v only_o jest_o give_v to_o you_o at_o first_o and_o now_o you_o have_v the_o confidence_n to_o take_v it_o in_o earnest_n so_o that_o the_o proposition_n be_v those_o that_o rail_v against_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v papist_n pray_v why_o can_v they_o be_v anabaptist_n quaker_n etc._n etc._n for_o true_o i_o believe_v they_o have_v almost_o as_o great_a a_o hatred_n to_o you_o but_o you_o will_v say_v quakerism_n anabaptism_n etc._n etc._n be_v jesuitism_n the_o ray_n of_o the_o whore_n hatch_v by_o the_o warmth_n of_o priest_n and_o jesuit_n etc._n etc._n and_o certain_o so_o be_v presbytery_n too_o as_o have_v be_v learned_a demonstrate_v and_o make_v manifest_a by_o the_o pen_n and_o by_o the_o late_a rebellion_n of_o the_o arm_a brethren_n in_o scotland_n but_o i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v all_o those_o to_o be_v papist_n who_o assert_v the_o succession_n of_o the_o d._n of_o y._n and_o who_o chief_o upon_o this_o account_n do_v rail_v against_o the_o presbyterian_o to_o this_o i_o shall_v answer_v as_o be_v direct_o against_o both_o your_o argument_n grant_v that_o they_o rail_v against_o and_o oppose_v the_o presbyterian_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v which_o i_o think_v every_o wise_a man_n will_v do_v when_o he_o see_v they_o resolve_v to_o play_v that_o miserable_a game_n of_o forty_o one_o over_o again_o grant_v that_o they_o stand_v up_o for_o the_o d._n of_o y._n who_o be_v a_o papist_n which_o at_o best_o be_v but_o a_o surmise_n and_o which_o no_o one_o can_v ever_o positive_o prove_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v at_o all_o that_o they_o be_v papist_n or_o any_o way_n popish_o incline_v and_o thus_o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o prejud_n i_o even_o long_o thou_o shall_v do_v it_o why_o then_o i_o have_v be_v in_o the_o dark_a all_o this_o while_n but_o if_o thou_o bring_v i_o into_o a_o clear_a light_n or_o make_v i_o understand_v thing_n better_o than_o i_o do_v i_o will_v assure_v you_o it_o will_v be_v altogether_o unexpected_a to_o i_o reason_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o again_o that_o there_o be_v a_o medium_n between_o popery_n and_o presbytery_n and_o that_o be_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o it_o be_v by_o law_n establish_v now_o see_v presbytery_n be_v its_o great_a enemy_n it_o will_v be_v no_o wonder_n if_o it_o be_v oppose_v by_o she_o no_o wonder_n if_o popery_n be_v oppose_v too_o be_v as_o great_a a_o enemy_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o truth_n on_o it_o be_v we_o and_o the_o papist_n do_v unite_v in_o consent_v for_o a_o legal_a succession_n and_o this_o be_v all_o or_o more_o than_o you_o do_v desire_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v we_o be_v papist_n they_o will_v have_v a_o legal_a succession_n to_o promote_v some_o sinister_a end_n and_o they_o will_v have_v no_o legal_a succesion_n too_o if_o it_o will_v serve_v their_o turn_n they_o think_v now_o this_o be_v the_o best_a mean_n to_o bring_v in_o their_o religion_n that_o now_o be_v the_o time_n to_o erect_v a_o throne_n that_o they_o may_v lord_n it_o once_o again_o over_o our_o conscience_n that_o they_o may_v make_v use_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o their_o friend_n and_o heart_n and_o neck_n of_o their_o enemy_n but_o we_o do_v it_o from_o reason_n loyalty_n and_o conscience_n if_o he_o be_v jew_n or_o turk_n if_o he_o will_v serve_v our_o turn_v or_o not_o serve_v our_o turn_v he_o shall_v inherit_v as_o we_o reverence_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o
