A61448	The spirit of the church-faction detected, in its nature and operations more particularly in the mystery of the convocation-book lately published and exposed to the view and censure of the world by the late Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, and the progress of the faction, and the mischiefs thereof, the late civil war, and our present disappointments.	Stephens, Edward, d. 1706.	1691 (1691)	Wing S5443; ESTC R24618	38,051	52

to_o such_o a_o occasion_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o the_o book_n be_v well_o consider_v there_o will_v appear_v great_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o these_o be_v mere_a pretence_n to_o cover_v some_o other_o design_n and_o that_o the_o true_a design_n of_o the_o book_n be_v only_o or_o principal_o to_o assert_v that_o a_o absolute_a irresistible_a and_o unaccountable_a monarchy_n without_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n be_v jure_v divine_a god_n ordinance_n original_o descend_v from_o he_o and_o depend_v upon_o he_o and_o that_o all_o other_o be_v degenerate_a form_n of_o government_n and_o to_o assert_v a_o like_a jus_fw-la divinum_fw-la for_o their_o own_o ecclesiastical_a government_n and_o withal_o to_o prejudice_v vilify_v and_o decry_v all_o claim_n of_o any_o right_n in_o the_o government_n or_o of_o liberty_n by_o the_o people_n with_o the_o reproachful_a term_n and_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o factious_a popularity_n which_o be_v plain_o know_v to_o have_v be_v the_o king_n own_o sentiment_n by_o who_o special_a licence_n and_o authority_n they_o do_v sit_v and_o consult_v and_o this_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o visible_a in_o the_o book_n that_o the_o learned_a dr._n sherlock_n make_v no_o scruple_n to_o speak_v it_o out_o plain_o that_o the_o princpal_a design_n of_o it_o be_v to_o assert_v the_o irresistible_a authority_n of_o sovereign_a prince_n which_o be_v as_o much_o of_o it_o as_o his_o subject_n lead_v he_o to_o speak_v of_o otherwise_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o have_v he_o have_v occasion_n he_o can_v and_o will_v have_v say_v as_o much_o of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o design_n viz._n the_o ecclesiastical_a government_n and_o if_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o design_n it_o be_v in_o my_o apprehension_n especial_o as_o it_o be_v manage_v in_o that_o clandestine_v and_o covert_a way_n and_o with_o such_o a_o form_n of_o authority_n not_o only_o unjust_a but_o vile_a and_o dishonourable_a unbefitting_a the_o majesty_n of_o a_o king_n or_o the_o dignity_n of_o a_o convocation_n of_o clergyman_n and_o a_o great_a abuse_n of_o religion_n to_o prostitute_v the_o

their_o own_o right_a and_o interest_n as_o it_o do_v by_o degree_n at_o last_o make_v they_o do_v beside_o many_o other_o mischief_n it_o have_v produce_v and_o principal_o upon_o the_o author_n as_o be_v very_o usual_a by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o the_o righteous_a god_n but_o all_o this_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o make_v plain_a and_o manifest_a as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v in_o the_o
