ground_n in_o wales_n and_o thousand_o of_o papist_n arm_v in_o lancashire_n and_o divers_a report_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v daily_o blow_v up_o and_o though_o the_o author_n of_o they_o be_v worthless_a and_o mean_a futilous_a person_n yet_o the_o report_n themselves_o have_v that_o credit_n as_o to_o be_v entertain_v and_o canvas_v in_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n but_o these_o false_a rumour_n produce_v one_o politic_a effect_n and_o it_o be_v the_o end_n indeed_o for_o which_o they_o be_v disperse_v they_o do_v atemorize_v and_o fill_v the_o people_n heart_n with_o fear_n and_o so_o dispose_v of_o they_o to_o uproar_n and_o to_o part_n with_o money_n peregr_n i_o know_v there_o be_v sundry_a sort_n of_o fear_n there_o be_v conscientious_a fear_n there_o be_v pannik_n fear_n there_o be_v pusillanimous_a fear_n and_o there_o be_v politck_a fear_n the_o first_o sort_n of_o fear_n proceed_v from_o guilt_n of_o conscience_n which_o turn_v often_o to_o frenzy_n the_o second_o sort_n of_o fear_n may_v be_v call_v a_o kind_n of_o chimaera_n it_o be_v some_o sudden_a surprisal_n or_o consternation_n arise_v from_o a_o unexpected_a strange_a accident_n pusillanimous_a fear_n make_v a_o mountain_n of_o a_o molehill_n and_o proceed_v from_o poverty_n of_o spirit_n and_o want_v of_o courage_n and_o be_v a_o passion_n of_o abject_a and_o degenerous_a mind_n and_o may_v be_v call_v cowardice_n and_o this_o fear_n be_v always_o accompany_v with_o jealousy_n politic_a fear_n be_v a_o create_a forge_a fear_n wrought_v in_o another_o to_o bring_v some_o design_n about_o and_o as_o we_o find_v the_o astronomer_n the_o comparison_n be_v too_o good_a do_v imagine_v such_o and_o such_o shape_n and_o circle_n in_o the_o heaven_n as_o zodiac_n equinoctial_a colour_n and_o tropics_n with_o other_o though_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n real_o in_o nature_n to_o make_v their_o conclusion_n good_a so_o the_o politician_n do_v often_o devise_v and_o invent_v false_a imaginary_a fear_n to_o make_v his_o proceed_n more_o plausible_a among_o the_o silly_a vulgar_a and_o thereby_o to_o compass_v his_o end_n and_o as_o the_o sun_n use_v to_o appear_v far_o big_a to_o we_o in_o the_o morning_n than_o at_o noon_n when_o he_o be_v exalt_v to_o his_o meridian_n and_o the_o reason_n the_o philosopher_n use_v to_o give_v be_v the_o interposition_n of_o the_o vapour_n which_o be_v common_o in_o the_o low_a region_n through_o which_o we_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o we_o find_v a_o piece_n of_o silver_n look_v big_a in_o a_o bucket_n of_o water_n than_o elsewhere_o so_o the_o politician_n use_v to_o cast_v strange_a mist_n of_o fear_n and_o fog_n of_o jealousy_n before_o the_o simple_a people_n eye_n to_o make_v the_o danger_n seem_v big_a but_o true_o sir_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o base_a kind_n of_o policy_n nor_o can_v i_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o such_o politician_n among_o the_o cabalist_n of_o your_o parliament_n who_o pretend_v to_o be_v so_o busy_a about_o god_n work_n a_o glorious_a reformation_n and_o you_o know_v there_o be_v a_o good_a text_n for_o it_o that_o god_n need_v not_o the_o wicked_a man_n he_o scorn_v to_o be_v behold_v to_o liar_n to_o bring_v about_o his_o purpose_n but_o i_o pray_v sir_n deal_v free_o with_o i_o do_v you_o imagine_v there_o be_v a_o design_n to_o bring_v in_o the_o mass_n again_o patr._n the_o mass_n you_o may_v say_v there_o be_v a_o plot_n to_o bring_v in_o mahomet_n as_o soon_o to_o bring_v in_o the_o koran_n or_o talmud_n as_o soon_o for_o i_o dare_v pawn_v my_o soul_n the_o king_n be_v as_o cordial_a a_o protestant_a as_o any_o that_o breathe_v under_o his_o three_o crown_n which_o beside_o his_o public_a deep_a protestation_n and_o his_o constant_a quotidian_a exemplary_a open_a practice_n many_o other_o convince_v private_a reason_n induce_v i_o to_o believe_v and_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o think_v the_o pope_n can_v take_v foot_v here_o to_o any_o purpose_n without_o the_o king_n leave_n you_o know_v as_o well_o as_o i_o sir_n that_o of_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o christendom_n the_o lutheran_n retain_v most_o of_o the_o roman_a both_o in_o his_o position_n and_o practice_n and_o come_v much_o near_a unto_o he_o than_o we_o do_v yet_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o from_o the_o first_o day_n of_o his_o reformation_n to_o this_o he_o be_v as_o averse_a and_o as_o far_o off_o from_o rome_n as_o the_o rigid_a calvinist_n that_o be_v and_o shall_v i_o think_v because_o there_o be_v some_o humble_a and_o handsome_a posture_n and_o decent_a vesture_n revive_v in_o ourchurch_n for_o they_o be_v never_o abolish_v because_o the_o communion_n table_n stand_v in_o the_o east_n end_n where_o it_o ever_o

innovation_n because_o her_o majesty_n have_v a_o few_o simple_a capuchin_n few_o than_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o matrimonial_a capitulation_n whither_o to_o retire_v sometime_o because_o schismatic_n be_v proceed_v against_o with_o more_o care_n and_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n bear_v up_o late_o with_o more_o countenance_n shall_v i_o believe_v that_o the_o pope_n must_v present_o

to_o introduce_v a_o new_a religion_n but_o what_o i_o pray_v not_o popery_n but_o presbytery_n and_o with_o it_o to_o bring_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o buchanan_n and_o knox_n for_o civil_a
