against_o the_o violence_n of_o a_o vngratefnl_n church_n who_o after_o they_o have_v do_v she_o such_o service_n throw_v they_o out_o again_o by_o their_o act_n of_o uniformity_n 2._o have_v they_o not_o many_o time_n pronounce_v it_o from_o their_o pulpit_n that_o they_o will_v rather_o join_v with_o the_o papist_n than_o the_o presbyterian_o and_o though_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o

how_o many_o presentment_n of_o their_o grand_a jury_n and_o order_n from_o their_o bishop_n to_o put_v the_o law_n in_o execution_n against_o they_o can_v they_o produce_v or_o when_o do_v they_o complain_v that_o the_o law_n be_v too_o gentle_a and_o easie_n for_o they_o as_o they_o have_v do_v against_o we_o 6._o why_o do_v they_o persecute_v we_o with_o more_o rigour_n and_o permit_v such_o who_o they_o account_v idolator_n and_o now_o by_o continue_v those_o penal_a law_n and_o test_n put_v we_o under_o a_o necessity_n to_o join_v with_o they_o to_o secure_v our_o own_o and_o their_o

the_o apostle_n to_o punish_v any_o of_o a_o different_a religion_n as_o such_o do_v ever_o our_o saviour_n or_o his_o apostle_n require_v the_o help_n of_o magistrate_n to_o make_v penal_a and_o

as_o they_o themselves_o grant_v he_o never_o command_v can_v these_o be_v the_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o declare_v the_o weapon_n of_o their_o warfare_n not_o to_o be_v carnal_a and_o
