the_o irish_a papist_n second_o whether_o the_o english_a protestant_n be_v more_o oblige_v by_o any_o special_a duty_n to_o continue_v many_o of_o the_o irish_a papist_n though_o the_o probability_n of_o infection_n be_v great_a than_o by_o that_o general_a fear_n and_o probable_a hazard_n to_o remove_v they_o the_o consequent_a of_o the_o first_o disjunction_n seem_v most_o probable_a on_o these_o ground_n first_o natural_a conscience_n make_v all_o person_n who_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o a_o deity_n prefer_v some_o religious_a external_a observation_n before_o none_o when_o therefore_o no_o toleration_n be_v give_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o popery_n and_o the_o reform_a religion_n public_o profess_v throughout_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v very_o conceivable_a that_o natural_a conscience_n may_v persuade_v many_o papist_n at_o least_o externaly_n to_o frequent_v the_o protestant_a assembly_n and_o many_o have_v be_v win_v in_o the_o ordinance_n who_o by_o external_a motive_n be_v first_o induce_v to_o they_o but_o what_o temptation_n in_o such_o a_o instance_n may_v invite_v protestant_n to_o turn_v papist_n be_v not_o conceivable_a second_o by_o the_o cruelty_n of_o the_o papist_n in_o the_o late_a rebellion_n the_o protestant_n be_v more_o confirm_v against_o popery_n as_o the_o original_a of_o those_o cruelty_n and_o by_o those_o heavy_a judgement_n wherewith_o god_n have_v avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o his_o servant_n the_o papist_n themselves_o make_v less_o in_o love_n with_o that_o profession_n which_o lead_v they_o on_o to_o those_o cruelty_n and_o thereby_o provoke_v these_o judgement_n in_o this_o instance_n therefore_o it_o be_v much_o more_o probable_a papist_n shall_v be_v convert_v than_o protestant_n pervert_v three_o when_o god_n intwi_v his_o interest_n with_o man_n man_n be_v common_o so_o enamour_a with_o his_o own_o that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n he_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o leave_v god_n and_o such_o be_v the_o present_a case_n in_o ireland_n it_o be_v not_o even_o for_o the_o civil_a interest_n of_o protestant_n to_o turn_v papist_n it_o be_v for_o the_o papist_n to_o turn_v protestant_n four_o in_o time_n of_o

objection_n against_o this_o some_o may_v perhaps_o pretend_v that_o the_o papist_n in_o ireland_n be_v harden_v in_o their_o idolatry_n and_o few_o of_o they_o convert_v of_o late_a answer_n first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o strange_a if_o only_o few_o of_o they_o be_v convert_v yea_o it_o be_v even_o wonderful_a that_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v of_o late_o be_v convert_v consider_v first_o the_o heavy_a pressure_n under_o which_o they_o have_v groan_v to_o the_o very_a grind_n of_o they_o by_o which_o mean_v more_o family_n have_v be_v destroy_v under_o the_o protection_n of_o protestant_n

the_o former_a the_o papist_n see_v not_o where_o to_o fix_v if_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o we_o and_o because_o of_o the_o late_a he_o see_v not_o what_o friend_n or_o security_n he_o can_v partake_v if_o the_o shall_v fix_v three_o the_o entire_a neglect_n of_o send_v forth_o instrument_n to_o instruct_v they_o it_o be_v sad_a observe_v how_o garrison_n be_v place_v in_o every_o quarter_n where_o the_o irish_a inhabit_v minister_n in_o none_o as_o if_o our_o business_n in_o ireland_n be_v only_o to_o set_v up_o our_o own_o interest_n and_o not_o christ_n four_o the_o lamentable_a ignorance_n of_o most_o and_o blasphemous_a heresy_n of_o some_o who_o have_v be_v employ_v and_o allow_v public_a maintenance_n in_o protestant_a congregation_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o preacher_n first_o so_o that_o if_o the_o irish_a papist_n be_v harden_v we_o must_v blame_v ourselves_o for_o it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o these_o few_o place_n where_o minister_n make_v it_o their_o work_n to_o deal_v with_o they_o and_o to_o remove_v those_o gross_a scandal_n out_o of_o the_o way_n they_o find_v they_o more_o pliant_a and_o flexible_a to_o submit_v to_o scripture_n direction_n than_o
