the_o fire_n of_o the_o almighty_n wrath_n all_o the_o world_n know_v king_n charles_n protest_v before_o that_o be_v present_a when_o he_o render_v his_o soul_n to_o god_n that_o he_o die_v of_o the_o religion_n authorise_a by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o one_o dare_v deny_v a_o truth_n so_o universal_o attest_v but_o such_o ridiculous_a miscreant_n there_o be_v who_o have_v impudence_n to_o say_v this_o protestation_n be_v but_o a_o fiction_n and_o suggest_v by_o the_o emissary_n of_o the_o pope_n that_o it_o be_v do_v for_o policy_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n indulgency_n allow_v so_o far_o but_o these_o impertinent_n tell_v not_o what_o be_v the_o politic_a end_n the_o partisan_n of_o the_o pope_n aim_v at_o nor_o what_o advantage_n can_v redound_v to_o their_o religion_n that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n even_o die_v shall_v open_o and_o firm_o protest_v he_o be_v a_o protestant_n but_o admit_v such_o a_o odd_a dissimulation_n be_v maintain_v for_o some_o reason_n to_o we_o unknown_a who_o be_v it_o these_o people_n can_v persuade_v that_o this_o prince_n who_o during_o his_o life_n have_v ever_o give_v testimony_n of_o his_o singular_a piety_n shall_v take_v pleasure_n to_o damn_v himself_o by_o counterfeit_v before_o god_n &_o man_n to_o favour_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o roman_a religion_n i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o the_o pope_n ever_o give_v indulgence_n for_o sin_n to_o be_v commit_v every_o one_o nevertheless_o know_v the_o history_n of_o the_o great_a bullisle_n texel_n the_o first_o that_o publish_v such_o sophisticated_a stuff_n in_o germany_n but_o i_o persuade_v myself_o there_o be_v no_o one_o can_v authorise_v future_a hypocrisy_n and_o false_a oath_n when_o we_o stand_v so_o near_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n before_o who_o we_o go_v to_o appear_v and_o though_o rome_n shall_v grant_v thing_n of_o this_o nature_n which_o i_o believe_v it_o do_v not_o be_v it_o credible_a he_o will_v confide_v and_o rely_v more_o upon_o the_o pope_n who_o call_v bad_a good_a and_o justify_v so_o profane_a a_o hypocrisy_n than_o on_o god_n who_o assign_v the_o portion_n of_o they_o who_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a and_o of_o liar_n and_o hypocrite_n to_o be_v in_o the_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n sir_n it_o be_v then_o most_o evident_a the_o king_n of_o england_n live_v and_o die_v a_o protestant_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o allegation_n be_v most_o impudent_a to_o say_v he_o imbue_v the_o king_n his_o son_n in_o the_o roman_a faith_n the_o second_o objection_n they_o make_v to_o the_o religion_n of_o this_o prince_n be_v that_o while_o he_o be_v at_o paris_n he_o frequent_v not_o the_o sermon_n if_o they_o can_v say_v while_o he_o be_v there_o he_o make_v no_o profession_n of_o his_o religion_n the_o accusation_n be_v of_o force_n and_o considerable_a but_o that_o no_o man_n dare_v pretend_v for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v the_o exercise_n of_o his_o religion_n which_o be_v we_o in_o his_o palace_n and_o there_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v and_o the_o sacrament_n administer_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o

they_o consider_v the_o many_o untoward_a conjuncture_n that_o hinder_v those_o who_o attend_v the_o prince_n from_o give_v he_o the_o advice_n i_o speak_v of_o which_o certain_o be_v and_o the_o

favour_v the_o hierarchy_n settle_v in_o england_n under_o the_o reign_v of_o edward_n elizabeth_z and_o the_o two_o king_n who_o succeed_v think_v nevertheless_o that_o this_o distinction_n of_o

presbyterian_a judge_v that_o this_o distinction_n of_o degree_n in_o ecclesiastical_a function_n be_v ground_v only_o upon_o a_o positive_a law_n these_o be_v peaceable_a people_n that_o hearty_o join_v with_o foreign_a church_n who_o though_o they_o live_v not_o after_o the_o same_o discipline_n as_o they_o yet_o agree_v in_o all_o other_o doctrine_n and_o i_o know_v divers_a bishop_n who_o their_o book_n and_o repute_n testify_v to_o be_v of_o this_o temper_n and_o they_o who_o be_v the_o more_o rational_a and_o more_o know_v can_v have_v be_v content_a the_o king_n shall_v have_v be_v at_o charenton_n but_o there_o be_v other_o near_o he_o more_o passionate_a and_o rigid_a for_o the_o hierarchicall_a order_n who_o though_o they_o justify_v our_o religion_n as_o to_o the_o doctrine_n can_v not_o allow_v of_o the_o order_n this_o sort_n of_o people_n be_v antipode_n to_o the_o presbyterian_o both_o of_o england_n and_o scotland_n who_o hold_v they_o must_v absolute_o break_v with_o the_o church_n that_o consent_v to_o hierarchical_a order_n and_o who_o be_v govern_v by_o bishop_n and_o discover_v in_o this_o government_n something_o of_o pomp_n which_o they_o hold_v incompatible_a with_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n the_o other_o on_o the_o contrary_n hold_v the_o hierarchicall_a order_n so_o necessary_a to_o the_o church_n especial_o to_o that_o of_o england_n they_o can_v endure_v no_o government_n but_o that_o and_o have_v difficulty_n to_o communicate_v in_o our_o church_n though_o in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n they_o

charenton_n to_o which_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v he_o have_v a_o great_a inclination_n but_o you_o may_v observe_v if_o you_o please_v two_o occasion_n whereof_o these_o hierarchicall_a gentleman_n make_v use_v to_o divert_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o king_n the_o one_o be_v that_o after_o this_o horrid_a revolution_n of_o the_o affair_n in_o england_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n and_o that_o cromwell_n have_v invest_v himself_o in_o the_o sovereign_a authority_n whereof_o he_o have_v despoil_v his_o master_n the_o agent_n of_o this_o usurper_n possess_v at_o charenton_n the_o seat_n of_o the_o ambassador_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o you_o will_v judge_v that_o since_o the_o king_n our_o sovereign_n admit_v they_o in_o the_o function_n of_o their_o commission_n near_o his_o person_n it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o consistory_n or_o any_o protestant_n to_o dispute_v with_o these_o people_n concern_v the_o seat_n they_o possess_v at_o charenton_n now_o the_o party_n i_o speak_v of_o fail_v not_o to_o take_v hold_n on_o this_o occasion_n and_o tell_v the_o prince_n it_o be_v imprudence_n to_o go_v where_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o grief_n to_o see_v his_o enemy_n in_o the_o place_n due_a to_o his_o ambassador_n this_o reason_n touch_v the_o young_a king_n and_o he_o be_v easy_o persuade_v &_o i_o believe_v many_o other_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o same_o resentment_n but_o howsoever_o it_o appear_v the_o reason_n he_o come_v not_o to_o charenton_n be_v not_o any_o aversion_n to_o the_o doctrine_n preach_v there_o but_o because_o he_o can_v not_o resolve_v himself_o against_o a_o object_n so_o provoke_v and_o horrid_a and_o which_o he_o judge_v so_o injurious_a to_o his_o majesty_n the_o other_o occasion_n these_o hierarchical_a gent_n make_v use_v of_o to_o divert_v the_o king_n inclination_n from_o his_o design_n of_o give_v testimony_n to_o our_o church_n of_o his_o spiritual_a communion_n with_o we_o be_v that_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n at_o paris_n who_o assemble_v at_o charenton_n go_v not_o to_o visit_v he_o whereupon_o they_o sail_v not_o to_o intimate_v to_o this_o prince_n that_o this_o be_v a_o evident_a proof_n of_o the_o aversion_n of_o those_o church_n both_o to_o he_o and_o his_o interest_n since_o those_o of_o paris_n who_o make_v the_o most_o considerable_a part_n give_v no_o testimony_n of_o any_o share_n in_o

his_o affliction_n it_o be_v true_a sir_n the_o parisian_n do_v so_o and_o possible_o carry_v themselves_o in_o this_o affair_n quite_o after_o another_o manner_n than_o the_o other_o church_n of_o the_o kingdom_n will_v have_v do_v i_o be_o nevertheless_o far_o from_o condemn_v they_o they_o be_v person_n that_o fear_v god_n and_o which_o honour_n the_o king_n and_o all_o those_o that_o bear_v the_o same_o character_n with_o the_o king_n of_o england_n but_o they_o be_v both_o wise_a and_o prudent_a and_o know_v there_o be_v eye_n upon_o they_o and_o must_v therefore_o live_v with_o circumspect_a on●_n they_o have_v doubtless_o good_a reason_n that_o make_v they_o think_v it_o best_o ●o_o forbear_v this_o duty_n other_o church_n will_v have_v think_v to_o have_v as_o strong_a ground_n to_o have_v do_v in_o this_o business_n quite_o otherwise_o than_o they_o do_v at_o paris_n nevertheless_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v that_o among_o their_o reason_n there_o be_v neither_o neglect_n nor_o indifferency_n nor_o any_o hardness_n of_o heart_n to_o partake_v in_o his_o disaster_n much_o less_o any_o inclination_n for_o his_o enemy_n who_o way_n with_o our_o other_o church_n they_o ever_o detest_v as_o outrageous_a and_o tyrannical_a but_o to_o come_v back_o to_o our_o subject_n you_o may_v well_o perceive_v if_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v not_o at_o the_o church_n of_o charenton_n it_o be_v not_o that_o he_o disclaim_v our_o communion_n nor_o any_o dislike_n of_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v there_o but_o because_o there_o be_v those_o have_v incense_v he_o against_o the_o governor_n of_o that_o church_n the_o three_o reason_n scarce_o deserve_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o they_o object_n who_o be_v see_v with_o the_o jesuit_n at_o antwerp_n and_o at_o vesper_n at_o paris_n and_o it_o may_v be_v at_o other_o place_n also_o and_o therefore_o a_o roman-catholick_n once_o his_o enemy_n say_v he_o be_v see_v at_o mass_n but_o that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o impudence_n to_o speak_v again_o if_o that_o be_v true_a there_o be_v more_o colour_n for_o the_o consequence_n but_o yet_o no_o necessity_n neither_o he_o may_v for_o curiosity_n be_v there_o to_o see_v the_o diverse_a mysterious_a ceremony_n of_o the_o mass_n and_o hear_v the_o music_n use_v at_o certain_a solemnity_n whereof_o there_o be_v so_o much_o talk_v i_o have_v know_v many_o stranger_n that_o have_v be_v present_a without_o bend_a knee_n and_o far_o enough_o from_o approve_v of_o it_o and_o will_v have_v take_v it_o for_o a_o very_a great_a injury_n to_o have_v be_v conclude_v papist_n because_o they_o be_v at_o mass_n but_o they_o find_v more_o favour_n than_o the_o king_n of_o engl._n for_o against_o he_o they_o have_v nothing_o but_o that_o he_o be_v at_o the_o jesuit_n house_n at_o antwerp_n &_o to_o have_v hear_v the_o music_n at_o vesper_n yet_o nevertheless_o they_o infer_v he_o be_v a_o papist_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o which_o pass_v for_o indifferent_a with_o other_o man_n be_v a_o qualify_v crime_n in_o the_o prince_n for_o all_o this_o i_o do_v not_o approve_v the_o frequent_v place_n of_o such_o devotion_n for_o to_o omit_v the_o visit_n of_o the_o jesuit_n house_n at_o antwerp_n one_o of_o the_o most_o sump_a vous_fw-fr structure_n of_o europe_n which_o in_o effect_n be_v but_o a_o innocent_a curiosity_n and_o without_o the_o least_o appearance_n of_o evil_n i_o much_o blame_v those_o that_o assist_v at_o vesper_n for_o they_o be_v defile_v with_o superstition_n and_o there_o they_o sing_v hymn_n in_o honour_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n which_o i_o hold_v be_v to_o rest_v upon_o the_o border_n of_o the_o couch_n of_o the_o strange_a woman_n and_o to_o lead_v himself_o into_o temptation_n i_o do_v not_o certain_o know_v if_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v there_o but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o can_v justify_v the_o action_n the_o prince_n have_v do_v more_o like_o a_o christian_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v there_o at_o all_o and_o he_o ought_v not_o at_o all_o to_o apply_v his_o eye_n and_o ear_n to_o such_o gaudery_n of_o ornament_n and_o music_n as_o they_o honour_v their_o image_n with_o lest_o he_o shall_v apply_v his_o heart_n which_o i_o well_o know_v he_o religious_o reserve_v for_o god_n but_o again_o far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o to_o conclude_v cruel_o with_o his_o enemy_n that_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n because_o he_o be_v at_o vesper_n and_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v judge_v it_o as_o unreasonable_a as_o i._n last_o they_o object_n that_o the_o whole_a world_n believe_v he_o to_o be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n and_o that_o the_o jesuit_n promise_v themselves_o to_o be_v in_o london_n in_o the_o same_o credit_n and_o freedom_n as_o they_o be_v now_o in_o flanders_n the_o apogie_n of_o

for_o he_o be_v a_o astrologer_n the_o re-establishment_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n shall_v bring_v to_o the_o roman_n catholic_n church_n but_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n more_o frivolous_a then_o to_o square_v one_o opinion_n and_o belief_n by_o the_o discourse_n of_o people_n that_o please_v themselves_o with_o these_o idea_n and_o make_v their_o desire_n pass_v for_o prophecy_n and_o

their_o back_n to_o and_o in_o effect_n sir_n i_o infer_v this_o in_o my_o judgement_n as_o a_o demonstration_n because_o the_o jesuit_n say_v the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n therefore_o he_o be_v none_o for_o do_v they_o believe_v he_o such_o they_o will_v without_o doubt_n passionate_o wish_v the_o rain_n of_o the_o state_n may_v be_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n that_o

they_o broach_v any_o thing_n may_v pervert_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o people_n into_o a_o aversion_n against_o their_o prince_n let_v we_o conclude_v sir_n this_o prince_n be_v no_o such_o
