fail_v we_o so_o often_o before_o we_o also_o declare_v declarat_fw-la we_o will_v with_o all_o earnestness_n recommend_v to_o that_o parliament_n such_o a_o impartial_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n as_o they_o shall_v think_v necessary_a for_o the_o happiness_n of_o these_o nation_n we_o have_v not_o altogether_o forget_v what_o kind_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n the_o late_a king_n always_o aim_v at_o a_o liberty_n fatal_a to_o and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o infallible_o destructive_a to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n a_o liberty_n that_o be_v to_o end_v in_o the_o exalt_v the_o romish_a religion_n to_o a_o pitch_n in_o england_n that_o be_v not_o even_o the_o interest_n of_o wise_a roman-catholic_n themselves_o to_o wish_v but_o why_o recommend_v to_o a_o parliament_n liberty_n of_o conscience_n may_v not_o the_o dispense_v power_n supply_v all_o defect_n as_o it_o do_v before_o and_o if_o the_o late_a king_n have_v a_o unquestioned_a right_n to_o emit_v a_o declaration_n for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n when_o and_o how_o he_o please_v which_o be_v treason_n in_o effect_n to_o controvert_v some_o year_n ago_o then_o it_o be_v altogether_o a_o piece_n of_o folly_n to_o trouble_v a_o parliament_n with_o it_o this_o one_o engine_n be_v like_o goliah_n sword_n have_v none_o like_o to_o it_o and_o it_o will_v indeed_o be_v a_o disparagement_n to_o use_v any_o other_o when_o that_o be_v so_o ready_a at_o hand_n on_o all_o occasion_n but_o alas_o the_o word_n impartial_a liberty_n have_v unlucky_o slip_v in_o in_o the_o declaration_n how_o come_v any_o body_n to_o dream_v that_o a_o impartial_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n will_v ever_o please_v the_o protestant_n of_o england_n a_o impartial_a liberty_n be_v a_o liberty_n of_o equal_a extent_n to_o all_o and_o do_v king_n james_n think_v the_o people_n of_o england_n will_v be_v willing_a there_o shall_v be_v a_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n grant_v to_o the_o roman_a catholic_n equal_a to_o what_o the_o law_n have_v already_o secure_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o protestant_n in_o this_o sense_n all_o the_o bishopric_n and_o live_n of_o england_n must_v be_v divide_v impartial_o into_o equal_a part_n we_o must_v have_v one_o roman-catholick_n archbishop_n and_o the_o other_o a_o protestant_n and_o thus_o it_o must_v be_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o dignity_n and_o live_n of_o the_o church_n the_o truth_n be_v when_o king_n james_n come_v back_o we_o shall_v be_v hearty_o content_a with_o this_o division_n and_o think_v we_o well_o escape_v too_o if_o he_o take_v no_o more_o than_o one_o half_a but_o who_o shall_v be_v security_n to_o we_o we_o shall_v lose_v no_o more_o we_o further_o declare_v declarat_fw-la we_o will_v not_o dispense_v with_o or_o violate_v the_o test._n and_o as_o for_o the_o dispense_n power_n in_o other_o matter_n we_o leave_v it_o to_o be_v explain_v and_o limit_v by_o that_o parliament_n a_o very_a gracious_a promise_n and_o a_o mighty_a condescension_n he_o will_v not_o dispense_v with_o the_o test_n as_o he_o do_v before_o though_o still_o he_o have_v a_o right_a so_o to_o do_v if_o he_o please_v for_o we_o be_v often_o tell_v in_o the_o last_o reign_n that_o this_o dispense_v power_n be_v one_o of_o the_o bright_a jewel_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o in_o a_o royal_a declaration_n for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n to_o the_o neighbour_a kingdom_n he_o tell_v they_o plain_o he_o dispense_v with_o all_o law_n to_o the_o contrary_a by_o virtue_n of_o that_o absolute_a power_n every_o body_n be_v oblige_v to_o obey_v without_o reserve_n so_o that_o here_o be_v indeed_o no_o more_o than_o a_o simple_a promise_v not_o to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o power_n to_o dispense_v with_o the_o test_n which_o he_o have_v a_o undoubted_a right_n to_o still_o whereas_o the_o law_n and_o the_o people_n of_o england_n say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o power_n lodge_v any_o where_o and_o nothing_o but_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n can_v suspend_v or_o make_v void_a a_o act_n of_o parliament_n in_o this_o case_n but_o pray_v how_o do_v this_o promise_n not_o to_o violate_v the_o test_n agree_v with_o the_o notion_n the_o late_a king_n always_o express_v he_o have_v of_o it_o he_o be_v please_v in_o his_o closetting_n of_o gentleman_n constant_o to_o inculcate_v into_o they_o the_o unjustness_n of_o the_o test_n in_o itself_o how_o contradictory_n it_o be_v to_o that_o christian_a charity_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v among_o his_o subject_n how_o contrary_a to_o the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n itself_o that_o any_o body_n shall_v be_v incapacitate_v to_o serve_v their_o country_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o religion_n these_o be_v the_o common_a place_n the_o late_a king_n have_v constant_a recourse_n to_o in_o all_o his_o argument_n for_o take_v off_o the_o test_n and_o in_o a_o great_a many_o paper_n publish_v at_o that_o time_n by_o public_a authority_n the_o same_o frightful_a idea_n be_v again_o and_o again_o represent_v if_o this_o test_n then_o be_v such_o a_o unjust_a thing_n in_o itself_o if_o it_o be_v so_o contradictory_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o charity_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n how_o come_v it_o about_o now_o that_o he_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o violate_v that_o which_o according_a to_o his_o principle_n he_o be_v indeed_o oblige_v to_o abolish_v but_o promise_v cost_v nothing_o especial_o when_o the_o performance_n be_v never_o intend_v we_o declare_v also_o declarat_fw-la that_o we_o will_v give_v our_o

of_o frequent_a parliament_n if_o king_n james_n be_v once_o again_o upon_o the_o throne_n we_o will_v rather_o there_o be_v none_o at_o all_o since_o nothing_o can_v be_v of_o more_o dangerous_a
