the_o balance_n adjusted_n or_o the_o interest_n of_o church_n and_o state_n weigh_v and_o consider_v upon_o this_o revolution_n sir_n i_o be_o hearty_o glad_a to_o find_v by_o your_o letter_n that_o the_o state-prodigal_n the_o vindiciae_fw-la juris_fw-la regii_fw-la and_o some_o other_o thing_n have_v bring_v you_o so_o far_o on_o your_o way_n back_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o to_o close_v up_o those_o other_o point_n upon_o which_o you_o hesitate_n that_o you_o may_v easy_o and_o hearty_o return_v to_o your_o duty_n to_o god_n your_o king_n and_o your_o country_n to_o all_o which_o this_o unhappy_a revolution_n have_v do_v most_o manifest_a dishonour_n and_o wrong_v i_o find_v the_o loss_n at_o sea_n by_o extraordinary_a storm_n as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o enemy_n the_o 〈…〉_o say_v the_o destruction_n of_o your_o army_n in_o ireland_n by_o famine_n and_o pestilance_n two_o of_o the_o sharp_a arrow_n in_o the_o almighty_n quiver_n in_o a_o manner_n so_o full_a of_o horror_n and_o consternation_n while_o the_o king_n have_v health_n and_o plenty_n in_o his_o quarter_n and_o city_n have_v bring_v you_o to_o a_o just_a apprehension_n that_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v against_o you_o who_o once_o do_v distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o land_n of_o goshen_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o egypt_n betwixt_o the_o house_n of_o the_o israelite_n and_o egyptian_n when_o the_o destroy_a angel_n go_v forth_o the_o respect_n i_o have_v for_o you_o make_v i_o not_o able_a to_o dissemble_v my_o satisfaction_n that_o you_o yourself_o now_o think_v your_o chariot_n wheel_n of_o and_o that_o you_o ought_v no_o long_o to_o oppose_v that_o providence_n which_o be_v not_o at_o a_o stand_n as_o some_o say_v but_o by_o remarkable_a instance_n declare_v itself_o for_o the_o contrary_a party_n you_o be_v much_o in_o the_o right_n that_o you_o now_o conclude_v we_o either_o be_v not_o in_o danger_n of_o popery_n under_o king_n james_n or_o that_o we_o be_v not_o more_o secure_a nay_o not_o so_o safe_a from_o it_o now_o the_o king_n never_o as_o can_v be_v learn_v declare_v that_o he_o will_v bring_v it_o in_o but_o something_o like_o the_o contrary_n we_o must_v not_o think_v a_o toleration_n or_o take_v off_o the_o penal_a law_n though_o they_o be_v such_o good_a fence_n and_o bulwark_n as_o church-of_a england-man_n shall_v not_o part_v with_o to_o be_v set_v up_o popery_n all_o dissenter_n desire_v and_o have_v now_o get_v so_o much_o for_o themselves_o and_o the_o king_n for_o his_o party_n never_o desire_v more_o and_o with_o this_o remarkable_a difference_n that_o he_o desire_v law_n for_o what_o he_o do_v but_o our_o new_a governor_n do_v the_o same_o thing_n without_o it_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o wonder_v many_o more_o beside_o you_o have_v not_o take_v check_v at_o so_o manifest_a a_o paradox_n that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n shall_v go_v about_o to_o set_v up_o popery_n in_o a_o nation_n which_o have_v all_o the_o horrible_a apprehension_n of_o it_o that_o a_o idea_n of_o the_o beast_n in_o the_o revelation_n can_v create_v and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o the_o pope_n that_o man_n of_o sin_n shall_v engage_v all_o his_o adherent_n in_o a_o confederacy_n and_o use_v his_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o pull_v it_o down_o or_o to_o protect_v we_o from_o it_o you_o say_v well_o that_o you_o can_v find_v what_o new_a security_n we_o have_v get_v for_o our_o religion_n upon_o this_o revolution_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a undeniable_a matter_n of_o fact_n declare_v and_o boast_v of_o by_o mr._n h_n and_z other_o and_o prove_v by_o many_o overt_a act_n that_o the_o p._n of_o oh_o enterprise_n be_v first_o project_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o a_o prince_n that_o be_v firm_a enough_o to_o our_o religion_n that_o it_o be_v build_v and_o support_v upon_o the_o pope_n interest_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o confederacy_n who_o about_o may_v last_v send_v a_o nuncio_n to_o congratulate_v the_o success_n and_o that_o the_o p._n of_o o._n that_o glorious_a pillar_n of_o the_o reformation_n and_o the_o mighty_a deliverer_n of_o our_o church_n and_o state_n do_v promise_v the_o pope_n to_o preserve_v the_o papist_n in_o england_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o pursuant_n to_o his_o promise_n do_v cause_v the_o priest_n to_o be_v set_v at_o liberty_n throughout_o england_n though_o many_o good_a well_o know_v protestant_n be_v keep_v in_o gaol_n contrary_a to_o our_o law_n and_o the_o fundamental_o of_o our_o constitution_n these_o thing_n you_o say_v well_o have_v raise_v such_o a_o mist_n in_o your_o eye_n that_o you_o can_v as_o yet_o perceive_v any_o security_n at_o all_o to_o our_o religion_n neither_o can_v any_o body_n else_o as_o i_o believe_v except_o the_o old_a woman_n who_o for_o a_o husband_n can_v see_v the_o egg_n upon_o the_o top_n of_o it_o though_o she_o can_v not_o see_v the_o barn._n you_o may_v well_o wonder_v upon_o second_o thought_n why_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v under_o such_o dismal_a fear_n of_o popery_n under_o king_n james_n because_o no_o man_n can_v make_v another_o a_o papist_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n a_o man_n can_v change_v or_o alter_v his_o own_o belief_n at_o pleasure_n much_o less_o can_v another_o do_v it_o for_o he_o without_o conviction_n i_o never_o hear_v that_o k._n james_n ever_o offer_v to_o say_v much_o for_o his_o religion_n and_o i_o have_v more_o ground_n to_o presume_v the_o p._n of_o o._n have_v less_o to_o say_v against_o it_o and_o for_o what_o the_o priest_n can_v do_v they_o have_v as_o much_o liberty_n and_o some_o more_o advantage_n now_o than_o they_o have_v under_o king_n james_n unless_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o wear_v their_o habit_n may_v have_v as_o strong_a charm_n against_o heresy_n as_o some_o say_v it_o have_v against_o the_o devil_n the_o truth_n be_v if_o this_o revolution_n have_v not_o abundant_o prove_v that_o to_o dispute_v against_o unreasonable_a fear_n and_o boundless_a ambition_n or_o insatiable_a revenge_n be_v to_o row_v against_o wind_n and_o tide_n i_o will_v give_v myself_o leave_v to_o enlarge_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o patience_n and_o constancy_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n who_o by_o their_o suffering_n give_v life_n and_o honour_n to_o their_o religion_n and_o propagate_v their_o faith_n by_o shed_v their_o blood_n and_o upon_o the_o martyrdom_n of_o our_o first_o reformer_n under_o queen_n mary_n which_o certain_o perfect_v and_o establish_v the_o reformation_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n insomuch_o that_o as_o the_o law_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n oblige_v we_o to_o adhere_v to_o the_o truth_n however_o persecute_v or_o despise_v stephen_n see_v

i_o will_v here_o have_v give_v some_o instance_n even_o in_o our_o own_o kingdom_n how_o much_o man_n have_v be_v disappoint_v who_o have_v go_v about_o to_o cover_v with_o a_o cover_n but_o not_o of_o god_n to_o provide_v for_o their_o own_o security_n as_o not_o dare_v to_o trust_v the_o issue_n of_o thing_n with_o god_n but_o as_o the_o corruptness_n of_o the_o time_n give_v i_o occasion_n to_o believe_v such_o harangue_n will_v not_o be_v very_o successful_a so_o your_o case_n make_v they_o less_o needful_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v hasten_v on_o thus_o far_o you_o say_v you_o be_v satisfy_v and_o so_o may_v all_o the_o world_n be_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o confederacy_n that_o the_o revolution_n be_v in_o agitation_n before_o k._n c._n end_v his_o
