all_o their_o late_a writing_n they_o strenuous_o assert_v that_o they_o have_v not_o change_v at_o all_o at_o least_o in_o any_o point_n of_o doctrine_n and_o still_o stand_v by_o and_o maintain_v all_o that_o they_o have_v print_v or_o preach_v since_o they_o be_v quaker_n and_o as_o if_o this_o have_v not_o be_v enough_o they_o have_v print_v it_o in_o the_o post-man_n that_o none_o may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o i_o say_v not_o this_o that_o i_o will_v have_v any_o persecution_n as_o they_o call_v it_o renew_v against_o they_o i_o like_v not_o that_o method_n for_o there_o be_v

as_o to_o free_v they_o from_o the_o scandal_n of_o recognise_v the_o quaker_n as_o protestant_n who_o deny_v the_o holy_a trinity_n the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o outward_a both_o sacrament_n and_o priesthood_n therefore_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v not_o answerable_a or_o reproachable_a for_o them_o second_o i_o have_v mind_a the_o quaker_n of_o this_o that_o if_o neither_o religion_n nor_o good_a manner_n can_v restrain_v their_o fury_n yet_o that_o out_o of_o policy_n they_o will_v learn_v a_o little_a more_o decency_n towards_o the_o clergy_n especial_o the_o bishop_n who_o have_v it_o in_o their_o hand_n to_o put_v the_o penal_a law_n in_o execution_n against_o they_o they_o not_o being_n include_v within_o the_o act_n of_o toleration_n and_o since_o they_o enjoy_v their_o present_a liberty_n mere_o from_o the_o grace_n at_o least_o the_o good_a nature_n of_o those_o who_o of_o all_o mankind_n they_o have_v endeavour_v to_o render_v most_o abhor_v i_o think_v it_o be_v but_o a_o reasonable_a and_o very_a favourable_a composition_n that_o they_o shall_v retract_v the_o above_o mention_v and_o other_o such_o like_a base_a and_o most_o scandalous_a reflection_n which_o they_o have_v cast_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o england_n her_o priest_n and_o bishop_n as_o well_o as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o her_o community_n for_o we_o say_v leave_v be_v light_a and_o that_o favour_n be_v ill_o bestow_v that_o be_v not_o worth_a thanks_o at_o least_o fair_a usage_n now_o the_o reparatation_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o public_a as_o the_o

tremendous_a trinity_n of_o god_n but_o if_o they_o remain_v mute_a in_o this_o matter_n as_o g._n whitehead_n say_v to_o the_o minister_n and_o refuse_v to_o right_a god_n and_o his_o church_n from_o these_o abuse_v cast_v upon_o they_o which_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n intolerable_a then_o may_v she_o just_o say_v in_o whitehead_n word_n we_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o lie_n under_o their_o

may_v the_o bishop_n if_o they_o think_v fit_a send_v to_o their_o second-days-meeting_a and_o require_v such_o a_o subscription_n and_o submission_n from_o they_o or_o otherwise_o that_o they_o shall_v acknowledge_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o litany_n and_o article_n to_o qualify_v themselves_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o act_n of_o
