estate_n to_o swear_v against_o his_o conscience_n or_o to_o accuse_v and_o condemn_v himself_o especial_o in_o matter_n that_o concern_v his_o inward_a belief_n 4._o since_o in_o all_o religion_n

though_o of_o the_o same_o judgement_n in_o religion_n be_v no_o far_o make_v subject_a to_o the_o punishment_n then_o prove_v guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n in_o stead_n of_o my_o opinion_n concerning_o these_o four_o proposal_n of_o the_o papist_n because_o to_o my_o sense_n they_o carry_v in_o themselves_o both_o their_o own_o evidence_n and_o justification_n i_o shall_v beg_v the_o reader_n permission_n to_o set_v down_o a_o particular_a conceit_n which_o i_o have_v often_o observe_v to_o be_v very_o well_o relish_v by_o all_o that_o have_v examine_v it_o that_o doubtless_o there_o be_v

which_o have_v certain_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o so_o many_o controversy_n and_o division_n in_o the_o world_n and_o now_o i_o humble_o appeal_v to_o the_o honourable_a and_o religious_a

refuse_v to_o hear_v they_o be_v reconcilable_a to_o the_o former_a practice_n of_o the_o high_a commissioner_n or_o the_o present_a practice_n of_o our_o sequestrator_n 24._o whether_o when_o the_o

be_v either_o by_o disuse_n forget_v or_o by_o express_a act_n of_o parliament_n revoke_v the_o papist_n alone_o shall_v still_o be_v continue_v under_o the_o same_o severity_n nay_o their_o burden_n

with_o a_o humble_a confidence_n i_o appeal_v to_o the_o renown_a parliament_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o england_n whether_o in_o this_o general_a goal-delivery_n of_o the_o conscience_n from_o the_o tyranny_n and_o oppression_n of_o the_o prelate_n the_o conscience_n of_o papist_n alone_o ought_v still_o to_o be_v keep_v in_o prison_n whether_o when_o all_o the_o fetters_o which_o the_o

which_o be_v worse_o to_o hypocrisy_n or_o which_o be_v worst_a of_o all_o to_o perjury_n all_o the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n look_v upon_o you_o as_o their_o common_a father_n all_o promise_n
