the_o say_a rushton_n take_v his_o order_n beyond_o sea_n therefore_o can_v not_o swear_v he_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o then_o follow_v the_o benefit_n of_o absolution_n for_o this_o or_o any_o

that_o they_o of_o the_o romish_a religion_n make_v no_o conscience_n to_o destroy_v those_o that_o be_v of_o contrary_a opinion_n to_o they_o then_o with_o imprecation_n i_o may_v lawful_o deny_v

three_o that_o since_o the_o discovery_n of_o this_o popish_a plot_n if_o i_o do_v at_o any_o time_n hear_v the_o protestant_n discourse_n that_o they_o of_o the_o romish_a church_n do_v teach_v the_o
