a_o account_n of_o a_o attempt_v make_v upon_o the_o person_n of_o mr._n arnold_n one_o of_o his_o majesty_n justice_n of_o the_o peace_n for_o the_o county_n of_o monmouth_n in_o bell-yard_n near_o temple-bar_n upon_o thursday_n the_o fifteen_o of_o april_n between_o nine_o &_o ten_o a_o clock_n at_o night_n not_o to_o trouble_v the_o reader_n with_o preface_n which_o be_v so_o much_o explode_v by_o the_o wit_n of_o the_o age_n i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o a_o excellent_a observation_n make_v by_o a_o worthy_a and_o ingenious_a divine_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o discourse_v concern_v papist_n express_v himself_o thus_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o papist_n be_v make_v like_o other_o man_n nature_n have_v not_o general_o give_v they_o such_o savage_a disposition_n but_o their_o religion_n have_v make_v they_o so_o i_o be_o loath_a to_o say_v it_o and_o yet_o i_o be_o confident_a it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o many_o papist_n will_v have_v be_v excellent_a person_n and_o very_o good_a man_n if_o their_o religion_n have_v not_o hind'r_v they_o if_o the_o doctrine_n and_o principle_n of_o their_o church_n have_v not_o pervert_v and_o spoil_v their_o

same_o excellent_a person_n speak_v thus_o good_a god_n that_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v call_v religion_n shall_v so_o perfect_o strip_v man_n of_o all_o humanity_n and_o transform_v the_o mild_a and_o gentle_a race_n of_o mankind_n into_o such_o wolf_n and_o tiger_n and_o this_o be_v the_o exact_a character_n of_o a_o papist_n and_o lest_o we_o shall_v forget_v what_o they_o be_v they_o daily_o give_v we_o fresh_a occasion_n to_o satisfy_v we_o that_o they_o be_v still_o the_o same_o man_n and_o that_o no_o favour_n nor_o kindness_n on_o our_o part_n can_v alter_v their_o curse_a
