religion_n and_o the_o king_n clemency_n to_o the_o church_n and_o demonstrate_v their_o loyalty_n to_o his_o majesty_n bemoan_v your_o zeal_n that_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o no_o great_a moment_n you_o shall_v as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lay_v dishonour_v the_o king_n before_o his_o people_n bid_v defiance_n to_o his_o authority_n libel_v his_o judge_n forfeit_v all_o pretence_n to_o his_o gracious_a protection_n of_o yourselves_o or_o the_o church_n of_o england_n render_v yourselves_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o punishment_n which_o the_o law_n have_v provide_v for_o such_o as_o disobey_v the_o king_n and_o not_o only_o involve_v yourselves_o in_o this_o danger_n but_o all_o the_o clergy_n of_o your_o diocese_n so_o that_o all_o considerate_a man_n tremble_v to_o think_v what_o fatal_a consequence_n this_o obstinate_a act_n may_v produce_v especial_o when_o they_o consider_v what_o great_a sum_v the_o clergy_n pay_v in_o king_n henry_n the_o eighth_n time_n to_o buy_v off_o the_o praemunire_n incur_v by_o submit_v to_o cardinal_n woolsey_n legatine_n power_n without_o the_o king_n be_v express_a allowance_n under_o the_o great_a seal_n and_o yet_o your_o lordship_n have_v be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o refuse_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o king_n command_n in_o a_o matter_n next_o of_o any_o thing_n to_o a_o passive_a obedience_n by_o this_o act_n as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v you_o have_v endeavour_v to_o represent_v the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o general_a as_o disobedient_a and_o consequent_o disloyal_a and_o if_o the_o king_n clemency_n and_o mercy_n transcend_v not_o your_o desert_n have_v absolve_v he_o from_o his_o promise_n of_o protect_v this_o church_n when_o at_o least_o so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o the_o english_a hierarchy_n have_v lead_v the_o van_n of_o disobedience_n and_o loud_o proclaim_v you_o be_v none_o of_o his_o dutifull_a subject_n but_o the_o mischief_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o like_a to_o fall_v only_o upon_o your_o head_n you_o have_v lift_v up_o your_o voice_n like_o a_o loud_a speak_a trumpet_n to_o raise_v a_o disobedient_a if_o not_o a_o rebellious_a spirit_n of_o opposition_n against_o the_o king_n through_o all_o his_o dominion_n you_o have_v inflame_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o multitude_n to_o oppose_v the_o king_n desire_n since_o they_o find_v you_o have_v be_v so_o hardy_a to_o dispute_v the_o justice_n and_o legality_n of_o this_o act_n of_o state_n in_o his_o own_o closet_n your_o lordship_n have_v divide_v yourselves_o from_o a_o loyal_a judicious_a and_o religious_a part_n of_o the_o church_n you_o profess_v yourselves_o member_n of_o and_o we_o shall_v hereafter_o hear_v of_o the_o distinction_n of_o a_o fanatical_a and_o loyal_a party_n of_o that_o church_n for_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v find_v there_o be_v a_o sound_n peaceable_n and_o numerous_a part_n of_o that_o church_n that_o will_v obey_v the_o king_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o own_o it_o their_o duty_n to_o obey_v for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o live_v charitable_o with_o their_o fellow-subject_n of_o different_a persuasion_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n you_o have_v divide_v yourselves_o from_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o dissenter_n towards_o who_o though_o you_o express_v some_o tenderness_n when_o the_o matter_n come_v to_o be_v debate_v in_o a_o parliament_n yet_o they_o can_v but_o see_v how_o unwilling_o you_o be_v draw_v to_o any_o compliance_n with_o they_o whereas_o you_o find_v our_o gracious_a king_n can_v forget_v and_o forgive_v his_o great_a enemy_n for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o show_v his_o innate_a compassion_n of_o they_o and_o demonstrate_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v his_o principle_n that_o conscience_n be_v not_o to_o be_v force_v as_o to_o your_o fear_n that_o popery_n will_v be_v propagate_v more_o effectual_o by_o take_v off_o the_o test_n and_o penal_a law_n by_o this_o act_n i_o do_v not_o see_v you_o have_v make_v any_o great_a blockade_n to_o it_o for_o by_o this_o undertake_n you_o have_v declare_v yourselves_o enemy_n to_o the_o king_n and_o his_o religion_n and_o to_o all_o sort_n of_o dissenter_n and_o so_o have_v lessen_v your_o interest_n with_o the_o king_n and_o great_a number_n of_o the_o people_n and_o by_o the_o join_n of_o both_o power_n against_o you_o because_o they_o may_v just_o suspect_v you_o hug_v the_o darling_n persecute_v spirit_n what_o can_v you_o expect_v will_v be_v the_o upshot_n but_o that_o both_o party_n will_v set_v themselves_o more_o than_o ever_o to_o keep_v you_o all_o under_o and_o your_o lordship_n want_v the_o king_n for_o your_o head_n and_o the_o dissent_v protestant_n for_o your_o assistant_n brethren_n if_o the_o take_n off_o the_o test_n and_o penal_a law_n be_v carry_v against_o you_o it_o will_v be_v very_o late_a to_o fly_v to_o the_o king_n mercy_n for_o your_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o honour_n and_o profit_v you_o now_o possess_v and_o how_o your_o deserve_n and_o your_o power_n to_o defend_v yourselves_o may_v be_v weaken_v in_o the_o interval_n of_o time_n betwixt_o now_o and_o a_o protestant_a successor_n i_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o divine_v but_o that_o popery_n can_v advance_v many_o step_n more_o though_o his_o majesty_n gracious_a declaration_n have_v be_v publish_v or_o such_o a_o toleration_n as_o by_o it_o be_v grant_v and_o now_o put_v in_o execution_n be_v establish_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n than_o it_o do_v now_o i_o think_v few_o unbiased_a person_n will_v be_v induce_v to_o believe_v since_o it_o will_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o very_a fundamental_a ground_n of_o the_o declaration_n that_o any_o other_o force_n can_v be_v use_v but_o that_o of_o argument_n and_o persuasion_n and_o by_o
