obedience_n to_o ●at_a church_n will_v easy_o engage_v themselves_o to_o venture_v their_o life_n for_o the_o extirpation_n of_o a_o pestilent_a northern_a heresy_n as_o coleman_n call_v it_o whether_o or_o no_o they_o that_o be_v accucuse_v have_v design_v and_o attempt_v such_o thing_n as_o have_v be_v depose_v by_o person_n from_o among_o they_o be_v not_o i_o to_o determine_v that_o belong_v to_o magistrate_n and_o judge_n but_o i_o be_o confident_a it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v make_v out_o more_o demonstrable_o if_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v it_o that_o for_o what_o be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n they_o have_v as_o ample_a and_o full_a encouragement_n and_o authority_n as_o their_o church_n in_o any_o case_n can_v give_v and_o that_o suppose_v they_o have_v as_o be_v say_v undertake_v the_o deposition_n or_o murder_n of_o his_o sacred_a majesty_n and_o other_o that_o stand_v in_o their_o way_n in_o order_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o roman_n catholic_n faith_n it_o be_v only_o the_o execute_v the_o often_o repeat_v sentence_n of_o the_o sovereign_a tribunal_n of_o rome_n against_o such_o as_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o unpardonable_a crime_n of_o heretical_a pravity_n have_v also_o the_o same_o power_n as_o well_o to_o forswear_v and_o deny_v as_o to_o act_v any_o of_o the_o premise_n i_o be_o a_o witness_n against_o none_o of_o they_o and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v they_o may_v be_v innocent_a but_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o their_o religion_n be_v guilty_a and_o will_v countenance_v and_o reward_v the_o destruction_n of_o heretic_n however_o effect_v and_o then_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v much_o wonder_v at_o that_o we_o think_v it_o possible_a some_o of_o they_o may_v be_v lead_v by_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o church_n and_o in_o compliance_n with_o the_o sacred_a sanction_n and_o decree_n of_o it_o may_v consult_v and_o contrive_v how_o to_o do_v justice_n upon_o we_o for_o so_o they_o call_v in_o the_o roman_a language_n what_o in_o we_o be_v treason_n murder_n and_o cruelty_n the_o jesuit_n be_v charge_v with_o all_o these_o and_o there_o be_v common_o loud_a clamour_n against_o they_o as_o if_o they_o alone_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o danger_n but_o i_o say_v though_o they_o may_v be_v more_o zealous_a for_o the_o papacy_n and_o more_o obsequious_a to_o it_o oblige_v by_o their_o four_o vow_n yet_o the_o inquisition_n be_v erect_v and_o have_v do_v great_a execution_n long_o before_o their_o order_n appear_v and_o most_o of_o

they_o outdo_v other_o in_o be_v more_o active_a and_o more_o fierce_a against_o we_o this_o be_v all_o can_v be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v most_o true_a to_o their_o church_n and_o religion_n and_o best_a deserve_v the_o name_n of_o downright_a roman_a catholic_n last_o here_o our_o neighbour_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n may_v see_v why_o we_o also_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v so_o afraid_a of_o they_o and_o their_o religion_n they_o may_v observe_v that_o we_o join_v not_o with_o popular_a faction_n that_o we_o do_v not_o instigate_v the_o vulgar_a to_o be_v violent_a against_o they_o that_o in_o our_o converse_n with_o they_o they_o find_v we_o courteous_a and_o kind_a and_o that_o we_o declare_v when_o there_o be_v danger_n on_o all_o hand_n to_o do_v it_o that_o if_o god_n after_o that_o most_o excellent_a prince_n under_o who_o we_o live_v shall_v suffer_v another_o of_o their_o persuasion_n to_o succeed_v we_o will_v own_v and_o obey_v he_o and_o whatever_o danger_n and_o persecution_n we_o may_v be_v expose_v to_o be_v dutiful_a and_o loyal_a as_o become_v true_a christian_n but_o then_o we_o know_v that_o their_o religion_n oblige_v they_o to_o deal_v very_o ill_o by_o we_o that_o be_v declare_v heretic_n and_o we_o know_v not_o how_o far_o they_o may_v think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o comply_v with_o those_o obligation_n we_o know_v that_o a_o prince_n of_o their_o communion_n will_v have_v the_o same_o and_o strong_a tie_n upon_o he_o to_o endeavour_v the_o extirpation_n of_o heresy_n and_o we_o know_v not_o how_o far_o the_o press_a importunity_n of_o the_o roman_a court_n and_o clergy_n or_o the_o fear_n of_o undergo_a the_o fate_n of_o the_o two_o henry_n of_o france_n may_v prevail_v upon_o he_o we_o know_v that_o what_o

the_o encourage_n of_o the_o sectary_n against_o we_o for_o bring_v our_o peace_n and_o establish_a religion_n into_o confusion_n and_o contempt_n and_o that_o that_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o ruin_v be_v altogether_o owe_v to_o god_n infinite_a mercy_n and_o to_o the_o king_n goodness_n and_o we_o be_v persuade_v upon_o very_o good_a ground_n that_o if_o the_o change_n be_v bring_v about_o and_o their_o church_n have_v here_o that_o power_n which_o it_o have_v wherever_o their_o religion_n be_v uppermost_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o a_o most_o miserable_a condition_n force_v to_o abjure_v what_o in_o our_o conscience_n we_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o save_a religion_n of_o our_o dear_a saviour_n force_v to_o embrace_v and_o practice_v what_o we_o believe_v to_o be_v

persecute_v or_o to_o lie_v in_o goal_n and_o burn_v at_o the_o stake_n some_o of_o these_o thing_n we_o have_v have_v occasion_n to_o know_v and_o the_o other_o we_o have_v very_o just_a cause_n to_o fear_v and_o therefore_o though_o we_o will_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n unjust_a or_o illegal_a to_o preserve_v ourselves_o yet_o we_o will_v be_v very_o glad_a to_o be_v more_o secure_a and_o will_v have_v be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v and_o very_o thankful_a if_o it_o have_v please_v the_o late_a parliament_n to_o have_v make_v law_n according_a to_o his_o majesty_n most_o gracious_a offer_n for_o the_o limit_v the_o power_n of_o a_o popish_a successor_n if_o ever_o such_o a_o one_o there_o shall_v be_v and_o put_v the_o administration_n of_o the_o government_n into_o protestant_a hand_n for_o the_o preserve_v the_o establish_v religion_n without_o destroy_a monarchy_n i_o say_v for_o this_o we_o will_v have_v bless_v god_n and_o the_o king_n and_o our_o representatives_n have_v they_o think_v fit_a to_o have_v do_v that_o for_o we_o and_o we_o will_v have_v think_v ourselves_o much_o safe_a and_o happy_a than_o we_o be_v as_o they_o have_v leave_v we_o expose_v naked_a to_o

which_o we_o believe_v to_o be_v high_o dishonourable_a to_o god_n and_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n therefore_o though_o we_o rail_v not_o and_o make_v not_o such_o out-cry_n as_o some_o be_v apt_a to_o do_v yet_o by_o serious_a write_n and_o discourse_n we_o think_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o confirm_v our_o people_n in_o the_o protestant_a religion_n we_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o
