A40998	A letter to a friend concerning the late answers to a letter to the dissenter	I. F.	1687 (1687)	Wing F57; ESTC R37757	3,400	2

a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n concern_v the_o late_a answer_n to_o a_o letter_n to_o the_o dissenter_n dear_a sir_n you_o have_v infinite_o oblige_v i_o in_o send_v the_o several_a answer_n to_o the_o letter_n to_o the_o dissenter_n for_o notwithstanding_o the_o many_o reflection_n upon_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o i_o find_v there_o yet_o i_o can_v but_o hearty_o laugh_v to_o observe_v how_o afraid_a some_o people_n be_v lest_o the_o dissenter_n those_o especial_o who_o have_v most_o money_n as_o well_o as_o understanding_n shall_v like_v that_o better_a and_o be_v a_o little_a aware_a how_o they_o be_v make_v tool_n to_o do_v mischief_n both_o to_o themselves_o and_o other_o but_o that_o which_o please_v i_o most_o of_o all_o be_v to_o find_v that_o those_o two_o incomparable_a worthy_n sir_n r._n l._n s._n and_o h._n c._n who_o former_a writing_n have_v like_a to_o have_v set_v the_o people_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n do_v now_o love_o accord_v together_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o notwithstanding_o their_o former_a feud_n and_o bicker_n can_v now_o write_v both_o on_o the_o same_o side_n nor_o do_v i_o see_v any_o such_o necessary_a contrariety_n between_o infallibility_n and_o liberty_n say_v h._n c._n p._n 11._o why_o then_o this_o liberty_n and_o infallibility_n true_o understand_v and_o right_o distinguish_v may_v very_o well_o stand_v together_o and_o the_o hold_v the_o one_o opinion_n do_v not_o at_o all_o clash_n with_o permit_v the_o exercise_n of_o the_o other_o say_v sir_n r._n l._n s._n p._n 7._o whereas_o we_o see_v many_o many_o place_n where_o both_o papist_n and_o protestant_n live_v very_o quiet_o together_o say_v h._n c._n p._n 3._o to_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o freedom_n they_o be_v allow_v in_o divers_a place_n where_o they_o live_v intermix_v say_v sir_n r._n p._n 10._o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n quoth_v h._n c._n p_o 29._o between_o repeal_n a_o law_n and_o relax_v or_o dispence_v with_o the_o penalty_n the_o first_o can_v only_o be_v do_v in_o parliament_n the_o latter_a have_v be_v always_o adjudge_v to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o royal_a prerogative_n the_o king_n quoth_v sir_n r._n suspend_v by_o his_o prerogative_n but_o a_o total_a repeal_n must_v be_v the_o work_n of_o his_o majesty_n in_o parliament_n which_o do_v not_o yet_o hinder_v the_o temporary_a virtue_n of_o a_o temporary_a suspension_n when_o i_o consider_v these_o and_o the_o like_a passage_n wherein_o our_o two_o patriot_n to_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o public_a do_v now_o so_o happy_o agree_v i_o can_v not_o at_o first_o keep_v out_o of_o my_o mind_n a_o foolish_a suspension_n that_o these_o gentleman_n be_v certain_o two_o of_o the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a alliance_n which_o the_o letter_n to_o the_o dissenter_n make_v mention_n of_o and_o that_o all_o their_o former_a jangle_n be_v only_o in_o jest_n and_o by_o agreement_n and_o to_o tell_v you_o all_o the_o temptation_n be_v very_o strong_a upon_o i_o for_o a_o while_n to_o believe_v that_o beside_o the_o common_a work_n which_o they_o be_v both_o employ_v about_o they_o mean_v nothing_o else_o by_o their_o pretend_a quarrel_n then_o to_o obtain_v some_o modest_a allowance_n for_o their_o necessary_a occasion_n the_o one_o from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o other_o from_o the_o dissenter_n but_o i_o soon_o blame_v myself_o for_o suspect_v that_o man_n of_o their_o integrity_n and_o fortune_n can_v ever_o be_v persuade_v to_o condescend_v to_o so_o mean_a not_o to_o say_v so_o unworthy_a a_o undertake_n at_o last_o consult_v sir_n r._n about_o it_o i_o find_v he_o to_o have_v salve_v the_o difficulty_n p._n 12._o where_o he_o tell_v that_o according_a

neither_o colouge_v dissenter_n as_o h._n c._n be_v nor_o half_a face_a church_n of_o england_n protestant_n as_o be_v sir_n r._n but_o downright_o honest_a papist_n this_o same_o letter_n think_v i_o have_v bring_v good_a company_n together_o as_o to_o the_o dissenter_n notwithstanding_o this_o noise_n about_o persecution_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o consider_v from_o whence_o the_o order_n about_o it_o come_v from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o likewise_o what_o be_v the_o time_n and_o season_n when_o it_o be_v most_o set_v on_o foot_n that_o for_o secret_a reason_n
