A70803 A decad of caveats to the people of England of general use in all times, but most seasonable in these, as having a tendency to the satisfying such as are not content with the present government as it is by law establish'd, an aptitude to the setling the minds of such as are but seekers and erraticks in religion an aim at the uniting of our Protestant-dissenters in church and state : whereby the worst of all conspiracies lately rais'd against both, may be the greatest blessing, which could have happen'd to either of them : to which is added an appendix in order to the conviction of those three enemies to the deity, the atheist, the infidel and the setter up of science to the prejudice of religion / by Thomas Pierce ...

the_o multitude_n of_o the_o sect_n which_o be_v see_v among_o we_o for_o whilst_o it_o be_v take_v by_o they_o for_o grant_v and_o also_o confess_v by_o ourselves_o that_o true_a religion_n can_v

whilst_o they_o observe_v how_o the_o professor_n of_o christianity_n do_v stand_v divide_v among_o themselves_o and_o that_o in_o point_n of_o opinion_n as_o well_o as_o practice_n they_o easy_o

they_o into_o orthodoxy_n by_o dint_n of_o argument_n alone_o though_o that_o indeed_o be_v one_o of_o our_o fit_a weapon_n as_o well_o because_o the_o great_a part_n have_v not_o light_a enough_o to_o see_v a_o victorious_a truth_n as_o because_o if_o they_o have_v they_o be_v not_o humble_a enough_o to_o own_o they_o have_v live_v in_o error_n no_o the_o hopeful_a way_n leave_v for_o aught_o
