mercy_n and_o his_o blessing_n upon_o one_o great_a heroic_a and_o steady_a soul_n get_v the_o wind_n of_o the_o jesuitic_a anabaptistick_a and_o fanatic_a design_n who_o have_v abuse_v we_o with_o their_o long_a wile_n o_o lose_v not_o the_o advantage_n which_o god_n have_v give_v you_o to_o bring_v your_o church_n and_o country_n into_o a_o fair_a and_o happy_a haven_n after_o so_o many_o tempest_n and_o agitation_n of_o infinite_a loss_n and_o hazard_n there_o be_v many_o holy_a duty_n and_o christian_a rite_n which_o call_v for_o your_o justice_n and_o mercy_n the_o two_o bless_a sacrament_n which_o have_v a_o long_a time_n be_v either_o whole_o despise_v or_o profane_o abuse_v or_o very_o partial_o use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n also_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o the_o creed_n all_o sacred_a and_o wholesome_a form_n of_o excellent_a use_n to_o the_o people_n of_o christ_n flock_n but_o despise_v and_o neglect_v by_o some_o of_o their_o supercilious_a pastor_n to_o the_o great_a detriment_n of_o true_a religion_n and_o abatement_n of_o piety_n these_o expect_v your_o exemplary_a justice_n to_o restore_v they_o to_o their_o primitive_a and_o catholic_n honour_n which_o will_v be_v a_o mercy_n to_o the_o whole_a nation_n which_o by_o extemporary_a novelty_n and_o crude_a variety_n in_o religion_n have_v be_v whole_o deprive_v of_o all_o those_o pristine_a form_n of_o liturgical_a devotion_n by_o which_o the_o generality_n of_o christian_n be_v best_o inform_v and_o most_o affect_a as_o to_o the_o grand_a fundamental_n of_o religion_n sure_o it_o be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o crafty_a or_o crazy_a brain_n to_o deny_v we_o all_o use_n of_o our_o father_n in_o english_a because_o we_o give_v over_o the_o pater_fw-la nosters_fw-la the_o ave_fw-la
