he_o may_v as_o just_o as_o his_o master_n say_v the_o case_n be_v alter_v so_o he_o can_v not_o help_v it_o for_o indeed_o his_o first_o business_n be_v to_o persuade_v we_o to_o believe_v what_o a_o

therefore_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o small_a difference_n betwixt_o we_o and_o they_o as_o only_o a_o few_o disputable_a matter_n of_o faith_n etc._n etc._n but_o fear_v that_o work_n with_o all_o his_o painful_a argument_n may_v not_o be_v perfect_o finish_v therefore_o he_o now_o say_v we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v it_o can_v do_v we_o any_o harm_n because_o it_o can_v never_o be_v establish_v in_o england_n for_o the_o dangerous_a innovation_n of_o its_o doctrine_n and_o the_o idolatry_n of_o its_o ceremony_n and_o villainous_a practice_n of_o its_o professor_n in_o plot_n and_o massacre_n have_v render_v it_o so_o odious_a but_o this_o contradiction_n be_v a_o little_a unlucky_a in_o this_o place_n just_o where_o he_o be_v accuse_v the_o false_a satyr_n of_o blow_v hot_a and_o cold_a with_o the_o same_o breath_n but_o in_o that_o we_o may_v suppose_v he_o do_v forget_v himself_o which_o may_v be_v forgive_v

then_o grant_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o his_o opposer_n have_v more_o reason_n to_o dread_v his_o power_n for_o it_o be_v a_o know_a maxim_n the_o great_a and_o true_a friend_n the_o most_o

the_o purpose_n for_o which_o they_o be_v produce_v yes_o they_o prove_v that_o the_o succession_n have_v be_v give_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n where_o the_o king_n and_o the_o parliament_n think_v fit_a and_o upon_o those_o reason_n they_o afterward_o think_v more_o weighty_a the_o gift_n have_v be_v recall_v and_o they_o have_v place_v a_o right_a elsewhere_o and_o who_o shall_v dare_v to_o say_v these_o act_n or_o any_o make_v by_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v unjust_a indeed_o the_o king_n without_o his_o people_n or_o the_o people_n without_o their_o king_n can_v alter_v the_o succession_n but_o with_o a_o joint_a consent_n those_o act_n of_o parliament_n declare_v it_o have_v and_o may_v be_v do_v again_o and_o certain_o there_o never_o be_v a_o cause_n that_o do_v

be_v q._n mary_n tyranny_n but_o a_o impulse_n of_o conscience_n derive_v from_o those_o popish_a principle_n that_o tell_v she_o that_o all_o heretic_n be_v all_o notorious_a traitor_n traitor_n
