for_o the_o same_o law_n will_v whip_v they_o both_o c._n sir_n i_o can_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o thing_n be_v better_a yet_o sure_o they_o can_v be_v so_o very_o bad_a as_o you_o

yet_o if_o a_o man_n will_v but_o consult_v reason_n it_o be_v easy_o unfold_v i_o believe_v there_o be_v at_o court_n the_o church-party_n and_o the_o dissenting-party_n as_o they_o call_v themselves_o and_o i_o confess_v the_o argument_n that_o you_o bring_v from_o it_o seem_v something_o plausible_a though_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v it_o to_o be_v true_a the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o one_o experiment_n will_v knock_v a_o hundred_o argument_n in_o the_o head_n then_o certain_o your_o argument_n can_v stand_v for_o we_o have_v see_v by_o long_a and_o woeful_a experience_n that_o these_o party_n have_v have_v no_o difference_n in_o the_o state_n for_o promote_a the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o good_a of_o their_o prince_n and_o country_n and_o suppress_v vice_n and_o wickedness_n for_o these_o indeed_o will_v have_v be_v glorious_a quarrel_n but_o all_o their_o difference_n have_v be_v independent_a of_o this_o only_a to_o promote_v private_a interest_n what_o though_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v at_o variance_n one_o with_o another_o it_o have_v hitherto_o be_v find_v if_o any_o man_n offer_v to_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o stand_v up_o for_o the_o public_a good_a he_o find_v no_o difference_n in_o they_o but_o they_o be_v all_o his_o mortal_a enemy_n church_n and_o dissenter_n all_o alike_o all_o stand_v firm_a for_o the_o profitable_a cause_n of_o corruption_n to_o betray_v their_o king_n and_o ruin_v their_o country_n this_o i_o say_v we_o have_v find_v by_o experience_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o argument_n in_o the_o world_n will_v never_o refute_v it_o what_o though_o they_o pretend_v to_o diverse_a opinion_n in_o religion_n what_o then_o do_v not_o harlot_n do_v the_o same_o yes_o certain_o there_o be_v church_n of_o england_n harlot_n dissent_v harlot_n roman_a catholic_n harlot_n etc._n etc._n though_o these_o pretend_v to_o different_a religion_n yet_o they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o trade_n and_o no_o doubt_n will_v unanimous_o agree_v in_o the_o main_a that_o all_o justice_n of_o peace_n constable_n house_n of_o correction_n etc._n etc._n shall_v be_v suppress_v because_o by_o they_o their_o trade_n be_v obstruct_v so_o in_o like_a manner_n these_o man_n notwithstanding_o any_o petty_a difference_n stand_v together_o in_o a_o body_n against_o law_n and_o justice_n because_o it_o tend_v to_o mortify_v their_o ambition_n and_o lust_n and_o to_o hinder_v their_o profit_n but_o sir_n i_o be_o afraid_a after_o all_o that_o you_o and_o i_o be_v mistake_v and_o that_o the_o court_n do_v not_o consist_v so_o much_o of_o a_o real_a church_n of_o england_n and_o dissenting-party_n as_o of_o a_o predominant_a atheistical_a party_n for_o so_o indeed_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v by_o their_o action_n and_o it_o also_o agree_v with_o our_o saviour_n rule_n that_o the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o its_o fruit_n for_o it_o be_v certain_o very_o foolish_a and_o contradictory_n to_o say_v that_o a_o corrupt_a and_o wicked_a man_n have_v any_o real_a religion_n let_v he_o pretend_v to_o what_o he_o will_v so_o that_o these_o that_o divide_v themselves_o into_o two_o division_n under_o the_o masquerade_n of_o church_n and_o dissenter_n do_v plain_o appear_v to_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o party_n who_o moral_n and_o practice_n be_v such_o that_o they_o can_v true_o be_v of_o no_o religion_n or_o church_n unless_o they_o be_v of_o the_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n c._n why_o sir_n i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v to_o it_o you_o have_v such_o a_o odd_a way_n of_o argue_v yet_o methinks_v it_o be_v strange_a the_o nation_n grievance_n shall_v arrive_v to_o so_o great_a a_o pitch_n as_o you_o say_v they_o be_v at_o with_o so_o little_a opposition_n why_o it_o be_v in_o effect_n charge_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n to_o be_v a_o company_n of_o sleepy_a senseless_a sot_n and_o fool_n that_o have_v law_n and_o privilege_n they_o do_v not_o make_v more_o powerful_a and_o

of_o mistrust_n never_o trouble_v themselves_o about_o state_n matter_n but_o mind_v their_o private_a affair_n and_o with_o great_a willingness_n pay_v the_o tax_n whereas_o in_o the_o late_a reign_n
