they_o have_v not_o see_v it_o soon_o for_o toleration_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v any_o new_a contrivance_n to_o undermine_v our_o religion_n that_o it_o be_v a_o juggle_n that_o have_v be_v long_o

heat_n and_o not_o to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n upon_o the_o merit_n of_o such_o a_o slender_a engagement_n before_o they_o have_v true_o examine_v the_o condition_n of_o it_o on_o their_o side_n and_o have_v take_v time_n to_o consider_v whether_o the_o kindness_n express_v in_o it_o be_v real_a or_o only_o act_v not_o to_o make_v a_o estimate_n of_o what_o they_o be_v to_o expect_v from_o this_o indulgence_n by_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o short_a paragraph_n in_o it_o that_o relate_v to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o will_v have_v they_o consider_v that_o this_o so_o much_o celebrate_v liberty_n be_v only_o in_o matter_n of_o mere_a religion_n by_o this_o politic_a reserve_v this_o liberty_n be_v not_o so_o extensive_a as_o some_o may_v imagine_v for_o upon_o the_o first_o false_a step_n the_o dissenter_n make_v in_o opposition_n to_o popery_n how_o easy_a will_v it_o be_v to_o reduce_v they_o to_o the_o state_n of_o suffer_v it_o be_v but_o tack_v some_o pretend_a matter_n of_o state_n to_o their_o most_o innocent_a assembly_n and_o then_o if_o for_o their_o defence_n they_o represent_v their_o case_n never_o so_o mere_o religious_a their_o adversary_n who_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o oppose_v their_o plea_n will_v take_v care_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v receive_v under_o so_o advantageous_a a_o abstraction_n and_o the_o dissenter_n can_v stand_v so_o much_o in_o their_o own_o light_n as_o not_o to_o see_v from_o what_o side_n they_o be_v to_o expect_v the_o most_o last_a security_n protestant_n of_o all_o sort_n be_v now_o happy_o bring_v to_o a_o better_a understanding_n of_o one_o another_o they_o may_v easy_o prevent_v all_o future_a dispute_n since_o they_o plain_o see_v from_o whence_o their_o division_n come_v in_o short_a all_o thing_n tend_v to_o a_o most_o amicable_a accommodation_n unless_o some_o man_n be_v bring_v over_o by_o too_o plausible_a a_o pretence_n of_o a_o little_a present_a ease_n to_o involve_v themselves_o and_o other_o in_o a_o reversion_n of_o suffering_n it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o consider_v what_o person_n be_v now_o retain_v advocate_n for_o repeal_n our_o law_n and_o to_o examine_v a_o little_a the_o complexion_n of_o the_o man_n before_o we_o be_v prevail_v upon_o by_o their_o argument_n the_o paper_n that_o daily_o come_v about_o be_v draw_v up_o either_o by_o

to_o serve_v the_o present_a turn_n they_o shameful_o contradict_v all_o they_o former_o have_v write_v and_o call_v themselves_o rogue_n perhaps_o for_o the_o only_a action_n of_o their_o life_n that_o man_n have_v reason_n to_o believe_v they_o honest_a to_o conclude_v our_o law_n be_v the_o only_a humane_a support_n we_o have_v for_o ourselves_o our_o liberty_n and_o our_o religion_n and_o as_o long_o as_o our_o title_n to_o these_o be_v continue_v whatever_o our_o present_a state_n may_v be_v we_o need_v not_o doubt_v of_o a_o favourable_a reversion_n nevertheless_o our_o care_n for_o our_o religion_n shall_v not_o make_v we_o forget_v our_o duty_n to_o our_o king_n and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o can_v obey_v his_o command_n we_o shall_v i_o hope_v convince_v the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v not_o our_o fault_n but_o our_o misfortune_n for_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o learned_a implicit_a obedience_n either_o in_o church_n or_o state_n as_o the_o scripture_n be_v our_o rule_n in_o the_o one_o so_o be_v our_o law_n our_o direction_n in_o the_o other_o and_o as_o long_o as_o we_o firm_o keep_v to_o these_o measure_n of_o our_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o the_o king_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a to_o lose_v the_o character_n of_o good_a christian_n or_o good_a subject_n i_o be_o honour_a sir_n your_o most_o humble_a and_o much_o oblige_v servant_n r._n s._n father_n la_fw-fr chaise_n project_n for_o the_o extirpation_n of_o heretic_n in_o a_o letter_n from_o he_o to_o father_n p_o r_v worthy_a friend_n i_o receive_v you_o of_o the_o 20_o of_o june_n last_o and_o be_o very_o glad_a to_o hear_v of_o your_o good_a success_n and_o that_o our_o party_n gain_v ground_n so_o fast_o in_o england_n but_o concern_v the_o question_n you_o have_v put_v to_o i_o that_o be_v what_o be_v the_o best_a course_n to_o be_v take_v to_o root_n out_o all_o the_o heretic_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v divers_a way_n to_o do_v that_o but_o we_o must_v consider_v which_o be_v the_o best_a to_o make_v use_n of_o in_o england_n i_o be_o sure_a you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a how_o many_o thousand_o heretic_n we_o have_v in_o france_n by_o the_o power_n of_o our_o dragoon_n convert_v in_o the_o space_n of_o one_o year_n and_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o those_o boot_v apostle_n turn_v more_o in_o one_o month_n than_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n can_v in_o ten_o year_n this_o be_v a_o most_o excellent_a method_n and_o far_o excel_v those_o of_o the_o great_a preacher_n and_o teacher_n that_o have_v live_v since_o christ_n time_n but_o i_o have_v speak_v with_o divers_a father_n of_o our_o society_n who_o do_v think_v that_o your_o king_n be_v not_o strong_a enough_o to_o accomplish_v his_o design_n by_o such_o kind_n of_o force_n so_o that_o we_o can_v expect_v to_o have_v our_o work_n do_v in_o that_o manner_n for_o the_o heretic_n be_v too_o strong_a in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v seek_v to_o convert_v they_o by_o fair_a mean_n before_o we_o fall_v upon_o they_o with_o fire_n sword_n halter_n gaol_n and_o other_o such_o like_a punishment_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v give_v you_o no_o better_a advice_n than_o to_o begin_v with_o soft_a easy_a mean_n wheedle_o they_o in_o by_o promise_n of_o profit_n and_o office_n of_o honour_n till_o you_o have_v make_v they_o dip_v themselves_o in_o treasonable_a action_n against_o the_o law_n establish_v and_o then_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o serve_v for_o fear_n when_o they_o have_v do_v thus_o turn_v they_o out_o and_o serve_v other_o so_o by_o put_v they_o in_o their_o place_n and_o by_o this_o way_n gain_v as_o many_o as_o you_o can_v and_o for_o the_o heretic_n that_o be_v in_o place_n of_o profit_n and_o honour_n turn_v they_o out_o or_o suspend_v they_o on_o pretence_n of_o misbehaviour_n by_o which_o their_o place_n be_v forfeit_a and_o they_o subject_n to_o what_o judgement_n you_o please_v to_o give_v upon_o they_o then_o you_o must_v form_v a_o camp_n that_o must_v consist_v of_o none_o but_o catholic_n this_o will_v make_v the_o heretic_n heartless_a and_o conclude_v all_o mean_n of_o relief_n and_o recovery_n be_v go_v and_o last_o take_v the_o short_a and_o the_o best_a way_n which_o be_v to_o surprise_v the_o heretic_n on_o a_o sudden_a and_o to_o encourage_v the_o zealous_a catholic_n let_v they_o sacrifice_v they_o all_o and_o wash_v their_o hand_n in_o their_o blood_n which_o will_v be_v a_o acceptable_a offer_n to_o god._n and_o this_o be_v the_o method_n i_o take_v in_o france_n which_o have_v well_o you_o see_v succeed_v but_o it_o cost_v i_o many_o threat_n and_o promise_n before_o i_o can_v bring_v it_o thus_o far_o our_o king_n be_v a_o long_a time_n very_o unwilling_a but_o at_o last_o i_o get_v he_o on_o the_o hip_n for_o he_o have_v lie_v with_o his_o daughter-in-law_n for_o which_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n give_v he_o absolution_n till_o he_o have_v give_v i_o a_o instrument_n under_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o seal_n to_o sacrifice_v all_o the_o heretic_n in_o one_o day_n now_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v my_o desire_a commission_n i_o appoint_v the_o day_n when_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n make_v ready_a some_o thousand_o of_o letter_n to_o be_v send_v into_o all_o part_n of_o france_n in_o one_o post_v night_n i_o be_v never_o better_o please_v than_o that_o time_n but_o the_o king_n be_v affect_v with_o some_o compassion_n for_o the_o hugonot_n because_o they_o have_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o his_o crown_n and_o throne_n and_o the_o long_o he_o be_v under_o it_o the_o
