A41117	A remonstrance in reference to the Act to prevent and suppress seditious conventicles, super verba, being a subject of this realm which sheweth that by the said Act it seems as if the magistrates did, as it were, unadvisedly and incompetently proceed against the subjects of forreign princes, as namely, the Germans, Dutch, Frenchmen, and the like, contrary to the said Act : and so charge the government of England with a prejudice, not to be slighted, Conf. Act 22. 25 / By Albertus Otto Faber.	Faber, Albert Otto, 1612-1684.	1664 (1664)	Wing F69; ESTC R31487	5,346	8

have_v be_v insert_v of_o set_a purpose_n 13._o whereby_o evidence_n be_v give_v that_o the_o king_n intention_n by_o the_o say_a act_n be_v only_o carry_v on_o to_o a_o reformation_n of_o his_o own_o subject_n first_o of_o all_o before_o those_o of_o other_o nation_n not_o will_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o countenance_v the_o foreigner_n soon_o than_o he_o may_v have_v bring_v to_o a_o

realm_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o unanimous_a uniformity_n they_o will_v rest_v without_o it_o and_o yet_o be_v inhabitant_n of_o this_o realm_n 15._o and_o therefore_o i_o bid_v all_o man_n consider_v if_o the_o inferior_a magistrate_n do_v not_o according_a to_o what_o be_v here_o declare_v deal_v prejudicial_o to_o the_o king_n and_o government_n of_o england_n when_o they_o imprison_v man_n in_o

do_v they_o not_o wrong_v foreign_a king_n and_o prince_n and_o become_v guilty_a of_o false_a imprisonment_n 16._o so_o this_o may_v give_v evidence_n enough_o that_o foreigner_n by_o the_o act_n to_o suppress_v etc._n etc._n be_v proceed_v against_o unjust_o and_o contrary_a to_o the_o say_v act._n it_o be_v therefore_o in_o vain_a to_o say_v they_o must_v execute_v the_o law_n when_o they_o do_v more_o than_o any_o law_n require_v to_o be_v do_v make_v only_o of_o what_o they_o say_v be_v a_o law_n a_o cover_n of_o their_o intention_n in_o comply_v with_o or_o repair_v unto_o that_o which_o bind_v they_o not_o by_o which_o the_o inexcusableness_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v evident_a at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n shall_v judge_v they_o however_o they_o seem_v now_o to_o be_v
