A54184	The oaths of Irish papists no evidence against Protestants, or, A warning piece to jurors in a letter to a friend.	Penn, William, 1644-1718.; Philanglus.	1681 (1681)	Wing P1333; ESTC R32177	8,753	13

the_o oath_n of_o irish_a papist_n no_o evidennce_n against_o protestant_n or_o a_o warn_v piece_n to_o juror_n in_o a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n sir_n the_o present_a state_n of_o thing_n afford_v such_o various_a matter_n of_o serious_a reflection_n that_o to_o give_v you_o my_o opinion_n concern_v it_o will_v be_v to_o confound_v and_o entangle_v my_o thought_n in_o the_o most_o intricate_a labyrinth_n of_o popish_a villainy_n and_o render_v my_o discourse_n as_o confuse_v a_o chaos_n as_o the_o subject_a of_o it_o i_o have_v therefore_o single_v out_o this_o one_o question_n as_o more_o particular_o deserve_v a_o satisfactory_a answer_n whether_o notwithstanding_o many_o full_a and_o positive_a oath_n of_o irish_a papist_n a_o protestant_a jury_n may_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n give_v their_o verdict_n contrary_a to_o the_o matter_n swear_v in_o the_o present_a business_n of_o a_o presbyterian_a plot_n and_o in_o answer_n hereunto_o i_o humble_o offer_v to_o your_o more_o solid_a judgement_n these_o follow_a consideration_n i._o protestant_n in_o the_o general_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v of_o this_o real_a truth_n that_o it_o be_v a_o popish_a principle_n inseparable_o annex_v to_o that_o faithless_a religion_n that_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v with_o heretic_n and_o the_o experience_n of_o all_o age_n confirm_v their_o practice_n to_o be_v conformable_a to_o principle_n of_o their_o own_o make_n however_o unsuitable_a they_o have_v be_v to_o those_o of_o christianity_n to_o instance_n in_o particular_a person_n nay_o to_o enumerate_v popish_a prince_n as_o well_o as_o their_o council_n of_o constance_n who_o have_v give_v abundant_a testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n will_v take_v up_o too_o much_o room_n in_o this_o short_a discourse_n and_o insinuate_v that_o you_o be_v either_o not_o at_o all_o or_o at_o least_o a_o very_a ignorant_a protestant_n but_o since_o it_o be_v more_o consonant_a to_o the_o present_a design_n i_o can_v forbear_v to_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o several_a account_n which_o have_v be_v give_v of_o the_o irish_a rebellion_n in_o 41._o and_o those_o yet_o live_a witness_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o by_o which_o you_o may_v be_v satisfy_v that_o this_o one_o excuse_v cut_v the_o throat_n of_o many_o thousand_o protestant_n in_o that_o kingdom_n who_o surrender_v themselves_o upon_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n and_o safe_a convoy_n into_o the_o english_a quarter_n and_o yet_o be_v forthwith_o most_o barbarous_o butcher_v this_o principle_n i_o say_v be_v the_o only_a funeral-service_n of_o those_o poor_a credulous_a murder_v innocent_n ii_o we_o have_v therefore_o very_o little_a reason_n to_o expect_v that_o any_o other_o oath_n shall_v be_v think_v more_o obligatory_a than_o that_o of_o allegiance_n have_v be_v or_o that_o perjury_n shall_v be_v more_o scruple_v by_o a_o roman_a conscience_n than_o massacre_n and_o murder_n but_o the_o papist_n in_o that_o kingdom_n do_v not_o only_o by_o the_o martyrdom_n of_o some_o hundred_o of_o thousand_o give_v as_o great_a testimony_n to_o the_o falseness_n and_o cruelty_n of_o their_o religion_n as_o the_o primitive_a martyr_n do_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n but_o as_o they_o have_v treason_n enough_o to_o forfeit_v their_o estate_n so_o they_o have_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n enough_o to_o save_v they_o too_o in_o this_o very_a point_n of_o perjury_n for_o the_o price_n of_o a_o irish_a papist_n oath_n be_v as_o general_o know_v at_o the_o court_n of_o claim_n as_o that_o of_o all_o sin_n be_v at_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o multitude_n of_o person_n in_o that_o kingdom_n that_o enjoy_v their_o estate_n though_o actual_o concern_v in_o that_o horrid_a rebellion_n be_v a_o sufficient_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n hereof_o so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o most_o of_o the_o protestant_n in_o ireland_n will_v sign_v a_o certificate_n to_o this_o purpose_n and_o if_o oath_n be_v so_o plentiful_a a_o commodity_n that_o a_o small_a sum_n can_v purchase_v they_o to_o save_v the_o estate_n of_o other_o and_o that_o only_a for_o the_o advancement_n of_o a_o particular_a papist_n how_o will_v those_o in_o who_o want_n and_o baseness_n and_o lewd_a principle_n all_o concur_v to_o qualify_v they_o for_o such_o a_o purpose_n judge_v a_o oath_n or_o two_o a_o easy_a purchase_n of_o wealth_n and_o favour_n fame_n and_o saintship_n to_o themselves_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o catholic_n cause_n and_o the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o three_o nation_n of_o heretic_n alas_o it_o be_v a_o small_a piece_n of_o policy_n to_o teach_v their_o cub_n of_o five_o or_o six_o year_n old_a to_o stab_v the_o protestant_n child_n a_o butcher_n trade_n even_o in_o the_o irish_a shambles_n be_v not_o worth_a a_o apprenticeship_n if_o their_o child_n tongue_n can_v do_v so_o much_o more_o than_o their_o father_n hand_n by_o make_v they_o die_v like_o traitor_n who_o ancestor_n they_o destroy_v as_o innocent_n if_o not_o martyr_n whilst_o a_o protestant_a jury_n by_o believe_v their_o evidence_n will_v be_v unhappy_o assistant_n to_o make_v they_o as_o impudent_a in_o this_o way_n of_o murder_n as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o other_o iii_o but_o let_v i_o a_o little_a consider_v the_o gift_n of_o swear_v more_o particular_o certain_o a_o oath_n unless_o give_v by_o lawful_a authority_n be_v not_o more_o considerable_a than_o we_o so_o abundant_o hear_v in_o common_a discourse_n and_o therefore_o if_o these_o irish_a witness_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o king_n nor_o any_o person_n derive_v authority_n from_o he_o have_v power_n to_o administer_v a_o oath_n and_o the_o court_n of_o judicature_n no_o more_o material_a in_o this_o case_n than_o the_o marketplace_n a_o jury_n may_v as_o well_o believe_v the_o full-mouthed_a oath_n which_o have_v these_o many_o month_n infect_v the_o air_n as_o a_o proof_n of_o a_o presbyterian_a plot_n in_o general_n as_o they_o can_v the_o deposition_n of_o such_o person_n to_o fix_v it_o on_o any_o protestant_n in_o particular_a but_o that_o our_o king_n have_v be_v and_o his_o present_a majesty_n as_o he_o be_v a_o protestant_a prince_n be_v now_o actual_o excommunicate_v by_o the_o pope_n not_o only_o by_o his_o bulla_n cenae_n but_o particular_o and_o by_o name_n and_o his_o subject_n absolve_v from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o any_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o authority_n be_v past_o all_o contradiction_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o matter_n i_o be_o as_o much_o bind_v to_o believe_v every_o damn-me_a as_o such_o man_n oath_n but_o beside_o it_o be_v universal_o know_v with_o what_o contempt_n the_o papist_n have_v at_o all_o time_n use_v our_o english_a bibles_n and_o especial_o in_o ireland_n where_o they_o have_v depose_v that_o on_o the_o evangelist_n which_o they_o have_v refuse_v on_o the_o mass-book_n again_o their_o doctrine_n of_o equivocation_n have_v such_o influence_n on_o this_o affair_n that_o the_o assertion_n of_o a_o protestant_n must_v be_v far_o more_o considerable_a than_o a_o romanist_n oath_n for_o when_o they_o have_v swear_v matter_n most_o intelligible_a and_o in_o expression_n most_o emphatical_a no_o juror_n can_v possible_o know_v what_o they_o mean_v for_o still_o they_o may_v have_v a_o reservation_n in_o their_o mind_n of_o a_o quite_o contrary_a sense_n for_o aught_o he_o know_v and_o it_o can_v be_v no_o objection_n that_o they_o boggle_v at_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o their_o religion_n be_v so_o direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o matter_n of_o that_o oath_n that_o the_o very_a sound_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o protestant_n out_o of_o a_o roman_a mouth_n be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v by_o the_o holy_a see_v unless_o dispense_v with_o on_o particular_a occasion_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v urge_v with_o any_o success_n that_o protestant_n at_o this_o rate_n can_v not_o possible_o live_v and_o enjoy_v their_o estate_n in_o that_o kingdom_n for_o as_o every_o climate_n have_v peculiar_a medicine_n
