A67481	Some remarks upon a speech made to the grand jury for the county of Middlesex concerning the execution of penalties upon the churches of Christ, which worship God in meeting-houses, for their so doing : and may serve for an answer to part of the order of the justices, Jan. 13 to the same purpose : in a letter to Sir W.S. their speaker.	J. W.; Smith, William, Sir, 1616 or 17-1696.	1682 (1682)	Wing W69; ESTC R3500	12,116	16

and_o some_o grand_a juries_n and_o a_o great_a many_o burrough_n that_o be_v easy_o take_v with_o it_o you_o seem_v sir_n to_o be_v a_o little_a out_o in_o your_o divinity_n whilst_o you_o

you_o can_v understand_v but_o that_o the_o conventicler_n allow_v their_o teacher_n both_o infallibility_n and_o supremacy_n what_o sir_n more_o than_o you_o allow_v to_o your_o bishop_n you_o will_v not_o have_v say_v this_o but_o that_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o make_v a_o odious_a parallel_n between_o papist_n and_o dissenter_n but_o who_o know_v not_o that_o dissenter_n do_v all_o

of_o their_o eternal_a salvation_n you_o say_v the_o romish_a church_n be_v a_o unite_a body_n and_o not_o to_o be_v withstand_v but_o by_o another_o unite_a body_n and_o if_o the_o people_n be_v

of_o nature_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v a_o surprise_a way_n of_o discourse_n for_o the_o natural_a import_n of_o it_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o to_o prevent_v the_o mischief_n of_o be_v without_o
