quaere_fw-la 4_o whether_o this_o offence_n be_v not_o more_o safe_a by_o the_o law_n than_o any_o of_o the_o other_o great_a offence_n and_o whether_o this_o bill_n have_v not_o a_o retrospect_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o nature_n of_o a_o bill_n of_o attainder_n that_o condemn_v man_n without_o any_o other_o law_n to_o convict_v they_o beside_o itself_o for_o first_o all_o man_n that_o

himself_o for_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o they_o be_v all_o concern_v in_o make_v or_o allow_v of_o the_o late_a commission_n for_o the_o land-tax_n and_o the_o new_a commission_n of_o the_o

next_o then_o consider_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o anger_n against_o these_o man_n which_o be_v because_o such_o person_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v consent_v for_o take_v off_o the_o test_n and_o penal_a law_n but_o this_o implication_n can_v be_v strong_a than_o a_o express_a consent_n by_o subscription_n and_o then_o you_o will_v find_v some_o of_o they_o in_o all_o the_o great_a office_n of_o the_o kingdom_n look_v into_o the_o treasury_n look_v into_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o custom_n the_o excise_n the_o king_n council_n the_o new_a sergeant_n even_o the_o privy_a counsellor_n themselves_o nay_o you_o may_v also_o find_v they_o very_o numerous_a in_o both_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o commons_o and_o it_o will_v do_v well_o first_o to_o pull_v the_o beam_n out_o of_o our_o own_o eye_n before_o we_o see_v the_o mote_n in_o our_o brother_n these_o thing_n be_v no_o secret_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a be_v common_a discourse_n it_o be_v hope_v that_o no_o person_n will_v accuse_v the_o author_n of_o partiality_n or_o reflection_n on_o the_o government_n for_o i_o will_v assure_v you_o a_o impartial_a sentence_n upon_o all_o offender_n be_v the_o great_a aim_n of_o this_o paper_n both_o for_o the_o honour_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o government_n and_o i_o speak_v the_o truth_n more_o bold_o because_o it_o be_v general_o report_v that_o his_o majesty_n natural_a inclination_n be_v against_o the_o pass_v of_o this_o bill_n the_o happy_a influence_n whereof_o will_v make_v thousand_o of_o poor_a protestant_n who_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a for_o their_o past_a offence_n and_o now_o wish_v well_o to_o the_o present_a establishment_n both_o pray_v and_o fight_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o sacred_a person_n i_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o make_v a_o quaere_fw-la whether_o this_o bill_n will_v consist_v with_o his_o majesty_n alliance_n abroad_o because_o it_o be_v out_o of_o my_o present_a purpose_n which_o be_v only_o to_o make_v some_o modest_a inquiry_n into_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o bill_n in_o relation_n to_o protestant_n quaere_fw-la 6_o whether_o this_o bill_n will_v not_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o call_v the_o legality_n of_o this_o parliament_n in_o question_n before_o the_o judge_n in_o westminster-hall_n for_o though_o no_o doubt_n all_o true_a protestant_n will_v ready_o agree_v to_o all_o tax_n for_o the_o public_a good_a when_o they_o see_v that_o even_o you_o yourselves_o be_v comprehend_v and_o so_o ground_v upon_o a_o equal_a basis_n and_o foundation_n yet_o the_o law_n of_o

themselves_o and_o family_n and_o if_o in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o judge_n when_o they_o come_v upon_o their_o oath_n in_o a_o judicial_a manner_n upon_o argument_n of_o council_n can_v reconcile_v their_o judgement_n in_o law_n to_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n what_o sad_a and_o dismal_a consequence_n may_v this_o produce_v and_o no_o man_n can_v be_v sure_a that_o this_o will_v not_o happen_v since_o it_o be_v a_o notorious_a crime_n for_o any_o to_o examine_v or_o for_o the_o judge_n to_o deliver_v their_o opinion_n before_o hand_n quaere_fw-la 7_o whether_o this_o bill_n will_v raise_v such_o a_o sudden_a supply_n as_o be_v require_v and_o thereby_o answer_v the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v design_v for_o those_o that_o be_v able_a will_v either_o cross_v the_o sea_n or_o at_o least_o cross_v the_o water_n and_o live_v in_o the_o king_n bench_n for_o one_o six_o month_n if_o not_o more_o expect_v the_o issue_n of_o this_o campaign_n rather_o than_o comply_v with_o so_o
