A29441	A Brief discourse betwen a sober Tory and a moderate Whigg		1690 (1690)	Wing B4577; ESTC R22981	5,299	2

a_o brief_a discourse_n between_o a_o sober_a tory_n and_o a_o moderate_a whig_n tory._n true_o neighbour_n whig_n i_o have_v always_o have_v a_o very_a good_a esteem_n of_o you_o and_o i_o think_v in_o my_o conscience_n a_o great_a many_o of_o you_o call_v whig_n be_v very_o honest_a well-meaning_a people_n but_o that_o you_o be_v so_o thoughtful_a and_o uneasy_a in_o matter_n of_o government_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n very_o ill_o become_v a_o good_a man_n or_o a_o true_a christian_a whig_n i_o thank_v you_o neighbour_n tory_n for_o your_o kindness_n but_o what_o mean_v you_o by_o say_v that_o we_o be_v uneasy_a in_o matter_n of_o government_n you_o know_v that_o i_o have_v always_o be_v as_o well_o satify_v with_o and_o as_o much_o admire_v our_o government_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n as_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o and_o be_v i_o to_o have_v my_o wish_n i_o will_v only_o desire_v that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n may_v be_v a_o little_a better_o regulate_v and_o the_o dessenter_n whether_o scrupulous_a or_o stubborn_a a_o little_a more_o mild_o deal_v with_o and_o the_o many_o good_a law_n we_o have_v more_o strict_o put_v in_o execution_n against_o the_o papist_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v effectual_o secure_v from_o the_o cruel_a design_n and_o villainous_a practice_n of_o those_o bloodsucking_a monster_n tory_n why_o neighbour_n you_o can_v forbear_v discover_v your_o discontent_n immediate_o you_o be_v now_o for_o connive_v at_o the_o fanatic_n and_o abate_v the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n against_o they_o and_o for_o prosecute_a the_o papist_n with_o the_o great_a extremity_n whereas_o you_o see_v that_o some_o of_o our_o admire_a minister_n of_o justice_n act_n quite_o contrary_a whig_n whatever_o the_o minister_n of_o justice_n do_v you_o know_v it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o four_o last_o parliament_n after_o their_o most_o deliberate_a consideration_n that_o the_o dissenter_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o violent_o prosecute_v on_o the_o penal_a law_n and_o they_o be_v for_o repeal_n some_o of_o the_o most_o harsh_a law_n against_o they_o because_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o every_o malicious_a troublesome_a fellow_n to_o prosecute_v they_o thereupon_o to_o their_o utter_a ruin_n as_o we_o have_v see_v it_o in_o many_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n beside_o they_o think_v that_o the_o prosecute_a they_o so_o furious_o at_o this_o juncture_n be_v a_o mean_n of_o give_v the_o papist_n the_o great_a opportunity_n of_o effect_v their_o villainous_a disign_n and_o of_o escape_v the_o punishment_n which_o the_o law_n most_o just_o pronounce_v against_o they_o tory._n oh_o neighbour_n will_v you_o be_v so_o great_a a_o whig_n as_o to_o rely_v upon_o the_o action_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o late_a parliament_n the_o extravigancy_n and_o unreasonableness_n of_o who_o intention_n his_o majesty_n have_v sufficient_o make_v know_v to_o the_o world_n in_o his_o declaration_n and_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n by_o their_o address_n and_o abhorrencye_n have_v full_o declare_v their_o detestation_n of_o their_o proceed_v whig_n neighbour_n the_o parliament_n be_v compose_v or_o shall_v be_v a_o number_n of_o man_n general_o of_o the_o estate_n and_o great_a prudence_n and_o discretion_n in_o their_o several_a country_n whilst_o their_o action_n tend_v to_o the_o conservation_n of_o our_o law_n and_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o king_n royal_a authority_n and_o our_o establish_v religion_n i_o know_v not_o on_o who_o i_o may_v better_o rely_v and_o if_o they_o do_v vote_n any_o thing_n that_o may_v seem_v extraordinary_a i_o think_v we_o ought_v to_o impute_v it_o to_o the_o exigency_n of_o the_o time_n and_o necessity_n of_o affair_n as_o they_o then_o stand_v for_o they_o i_o suppose_v well_o enough_o see_v that_o whilst_o the_o popish_a and_o arbitrary_a counsel_n be_v so_o prevalent_a they_o be_v only_o delude_v and_o shall_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v effectual_o secure_v the_o nation_n against_o the_o papist_n and_o their_o design_n and_o for_o the_o address_n and_o those_o kind_n of_o thing_n you_o speak_v of_o we_o believe_v in_o most_o town_n they_o be_v propose_v and_o carry_v on_o either_o by_o person_n popishlike_a affect_v or_o else_o by_o those_o who_o by_o their_o interest_n be_v bind_v and_o oblige_v to_o such_o and_o they_o procure_v some_o of_o the_o same_o inclination_n with_o they_o and_o some_o of_o the_o ignorant_a vulgar_a to_o subscribe_v they_o and_o then_o call_v it_o a_o address_n from_o such_o a_o town_n or_o county_n whereas_o we_o believe_v there_o be_v very_o few_o subscriber_n of_o quality_n and_o sobriety_n among_o they_o not_o but_o that_o all_o good_a man_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o address_v or_o do_v any_o just_a thing_n that_o may_v be_v acceptable_a to_o his_o majesty_n but_o they_o think_v they_o can_v not_o just_o endeavour_v to_o reflect_v or_o cast_v a_o odium_n upon_o the_o late_a parliament_n who_o be_v so_o solicitous_a and_o concern_v for_o his_o majesty_n and_o nation_n good_a but_o let_v we_o return_v to_o our_o dissenter_n and_o i_o protest_v neighbour_n do_v they_o preach_v such_o abominable_a and_o hellish_a doctrine_n or_o patronise_v and_o justify_v those_o horrid_a villainy_n butchery_n and_o murder_n that_o the_o papist_n as_o be_v manifest_o know_v to_o all_o the_o world_n to_o i_o shall_v then_o be_v altegether_o as_o zealous_a for_o prosecute_a they_o as_o i_o be_o now_o for_o prosecute_a the_o papist_n tory._n have_v you_o they_o forget_v that_o bloody_a war_n that_o be_v begin_v by_o they_o even_o in_o our_o memory_n and_o that_o most_o abominable_a nefarious_a deed_n the_o murder_v the_o late_a king_n sure_o when_o you_o look_v back_o on_o what_o be_v then_o do_v by_o they_o you_o will_v have_v very_o little_a to_o say_v in_o their_o excuse_n whig_n as_o for_o the_o original_a of_o that_o unnatural_a war_n we_o can_v lay_v the_o blame_n of_o it_o only_o on_o the_o dissenter_n if_o you_o examine_v the_o true_a history_n of_o those_o time_n you_o may_v find_v that_o there_o be_v great_a distemper_n grow_v in_o the_o state_n many_o year_n before_o the_o break_n out_o of_o that_o war._n and_o perhaps_o many_o that_o be_v no_o dissenter_n from_o our_o church_n may_v as_o just_o be_v till_v to_o the_o original_a of_o it_o as_o the_o presbiterian_n themselves_o and_o for_o that_o most_o execrable_a and_o most_o horrid_a deed_n the_o murder_n of_o his_o late_a majesty_n we_o believe_v it_o be_v perpretate_v by_o a_o number_n of_o man_n that_o after_o a_o most_o bloody_a war_n have_v get_v the_o sole_a power_n of_o affair_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o think_v it_o impossible_a for_o themselves_o to_o be_v safe_a without_o commit_v that_o abhor_a villainy_n for_o which_o we_o have_v see_v most_o of_o those_o of_o they_o that_o be_v take_v receive_v their_o most_o just_a demerit_n and_o we_o know_v that_o many_o of_o the_o dissenter_n be_v as_o much_o concern_v for_o the_o commission_n of_o that_o fact_n and_o declare_v as_o great_a a_o abhorrency_n of_o it_o as_o any_o and_o i_o think_v they_o of_o late_o have_v sufficient_o demonstrate_v to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o have_v no_o inclination_n to_o rebellion_n or_o disloyalty_n when_o as_o they_o be_v suppose_v in_o many_o place_n the_o superior_a number_n have_v take_v so_o patient_o those_o notorious_a abuse_n from_o their_o inveterate_a enemy_n &_o have_v plaineough_o understand_v their_o malicious_a design_n of_o render_v all_o those_o you_o call_v whig_n odious_a to_o the_o world_n how_o have_v papist_n and_o their_o secret_a friend_n continual_o endeavour_v to_o throw_v of_o the_o gild_n of_o their_o accurse_a plot_n from_o themselves_o upon_o many_o of_o his_o majesty_n good_a subject_n who_o no_o indifferent_a person_n upon_o du_fw-fr con_fw-mi ideation_n can_v possible_o believe_v guilty_a of_o those_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v accuse_v they_o have_v so_o impudent_o and_o incessant_o follow_v these_o method_n that_o among_o most_o of_o those_o you_o call_v loyal_a and_o well_o effect_v to_o the_o crown_n the_o popish_a plot_n be_v almost_o explode_v and_o laugh_v at_o and_o some_o of_o the_o witness_n who_o never_o can_v disprove_v i_o think_v in_o any_o one_o thing_n they_o testify_v vilify_v and_o reproach_v as_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n to_o the_o great_a scandal_n and_o disgrace_n in_o my_o

perhaps_o short_o produce_v those_o thing_n that_o may_v satisfy_v you_o of_o the_o gild_n of_o some_o person_n which_o you_o can_v i_o perceive_v get_v credit_n notwithstanding_o those_o notorious_a
