still_o with_o i_o mr._n lytcott_n have_v it_o be_v true_a some_o other_o accidental_a recommendation_n as_o relate_v to_o several_a person_n of_o very_a considerable_a fashion_n and_o quality_n who_o i_o esteem_v nor_o do_v i_o by_o any_o mean_n deny_v the_o give_v he_o order_n to_o take_v note_n at_o trial_n nay_o this_o or_o the_o equivalent_a i_o desire_v of_o other_o also_o till_o i_o free_v myself_o from_o the_o calumny_n of_o the_o plot._n but_o have_v i_o know_v it_o a_o crime_n against_o any_o law_n either_o human_a or_o divine_a and_o till_o i_o do_v i_o can_v repent_v i_o of_o the_o action_n i_o shall_v not_o have_v send_v he_o neither_o will_v he_o i_o dare_v say_v have_v go_v for_o his_o college_n and_o friend_n can_v but_o own_o as_o well_o his_o great_a probity_n as_o his_o constant_a zeal_n for_o the_o government_n and_o as_o he_o who_o very_o well_o know_v it_o attest_v be_v summon_v to_o my_o lord_n staffords_n trial_n that_o i_o be_v not_o at_o powis_n castle_n in_o the_o year_n 72_o nor_o 73_o so_o by_o what_o i_o have_v here_o already_o show_v the_o whole_a matter_n have_v be_v prove_v and_o make_v good_a beyond_o the_o possibility_n of_o the_o least_o doubt_n or_o scruple_n in_o the_o next_o place_n as_o to_o my_o be_v so_o famous_a in_o the_o popish_a party_n as_o sir_n william_n say_v i_o be_o i_o do_v not_o know_v i_o confess_v what_o he_o mean_v certain_o that_o man_n be_v a_o very_a weak_a one_o who_o consider_v the_o hardship_n we_o struggle_v with_o the_o obloquy_n we_o lie_v under_o and_o the_o misinterpretation_n of_o all_o our_o action_n hope_v to_o geat_v fame_n by_o be_v a_o papist_n but_o if_o this_o gentleman_n put_v fame_n in_o the_o worst_a sense_n for_o the_o word_n have_v opposite_a signification_n and_o so_o intimate_v as_o if_o i_o be_v become_v to_o the_o world_n infamous_a by_o my_o religion_n and_o practice_n i_o shall_v here_o in_o a_o few_o word_n give_v he_o a_o true_a and_o short_a account_n of_o both_o that_o i_o be_o a_o catholic_n i_o shall_v always_o acknowledge_v as_o often_o as_o i_o be_o ask_v but_o though_o my_o religion_n be_v erroneous_a yet_o to_o i_o it_o must_v be_v a_o true_a and_o save_v one_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o our_o learn_a adversary_n for_o i_o have_v often_o and_o diligent_o search_v the_o scripture_n which_o they_o own_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n i_o have_v earnest_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o they_o require_v for_o his_o illumination_n i_o have_v argue_v with_o learned_a man_n a_o thing_n too_o enjoin_v by_o they_o i_o have_v always_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o my_o belief_n to_o whosoever_o shall_v ask_v it_o of_o i_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n advice_n and_o they_o and_o last_o i_o have_v read_v not_o only_o as_o much_o controversy_n as_o perchance_o most_o man_n of_o my_o age_n in_o england_n but_o twenty_o protestant_a book_n i_o dare_v say_v for_o one_o catholic_n and_o yet_o still_o i_o be_o the_o same_o nor_o will_v any_o body_n i_o hope_v pretend_v partiality_n or_o prepossession_n in_o the_o case_n see_v that_o must_v have_v much_o rather_o incline_v i_o to_o the_o contrary_a side_n for_o have_v i_o be_v of_o a_o religion_n not_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o law_n i_o may_v as_o well_o it_o may_v be_v have_v advance_v my_o fortune_n as_o other_o want_v i_o thank_v god_n neither_o relation_n friend_n nor_o estate_n to_o give_v i_o a_o rise_v or_o beginning_n nay_o so_o great_a a_o propensity_n have_v i_o still_o for_o the_o religion_n of_o all_o government_n and_o particular_o my_o own_o that_o i_o thus_o far_o declare_v with_o mr._n hobbs_n who_o think_v every_o body_n bind_v to_o be_v of_o his_o prince_n faith_n that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n not_o to_o comply_v with_o the_o establish_a practice_n in_o every_o particular_a that_o be_v not_o true_o sinful_a in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v conscience_n then_o that_o make_v i_o a_o dissenter_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v be_v pity_v but_o not_o blame_v for_o shall_v any_o turk_n or_o jew_n profess_v the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o in_o his_o heart_n think_v it_o false_a he_o will_v be_v damn_v notwithstanding_o the_o verity_n of_o it_o humane_a reason_n can_v demand_v nothing_o of_o one_o as_o eminent_a protestant_n tell_v we_o but_o a_o sincere_a conviction_n nor_o do_v the_o profound_a among_o they_o propose_v more_o and_o if_o that_o shock_a article_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o reckon_v also_o by_o our_o enemy_n as_o our_o most_o dangerous_a tenet_n i_o mean_v the_o real_a and_o substantial_a presence_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n blot_v not_o a_o lutheran_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n why_o shall_v it_o i_o it_o be_v true_a we_o differ_v in_o the_o mode_n or_o manner_n of_o his_o be_v there_o but_o not_o in_o the_o reality_n so_o that_o as_o great_a hardship_n and_o as_o seem_a contradiction_n arise_v to_o man_n capacity_n from_o the_o one_o as_o from_o the_o other_o opinion_n to_o confirm_v further_o also_o those_o who_o may_v otherwise_o doubt_v of_o my_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n as_o to_o faith_n i_o unfeigned_o believe_v all_o those_o very_a point_n which_o protestant_a divine_v call_v the_o grand_a fundamental_o of_o christianity_n for_o i_o believe_v the_o incarnation_n i_o believe_v the_o trinity_n thing_n as_o incomprehensible_a and_o opposite_a to_o our_o finite_a nature_n as_o can_v be_v think_v of_o nor_o can_v any_o doctrine_n be_v more_o stiff_o deny_v and_o reject_v than_o this_o have_v be_v by_o several_a christian_n nay_o i_o declare_v as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v when_o she_o read_v the_o creed_n of_o st._n athanasius_n that_o whosoever_o will_v be_v save_v must_v necessary_o hold_v what_o be_v there_o express_v i_o believe_v also_o in_o the_o merit_n mediation_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o no_o action_n of_o we_o can_v possible_o please_v but_o through_o his_o merit_n no_o mediation_n of_o any_o creature_n can_v have_v the_o least_o force_n or_o weight_n without_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o mediation_n and_o no_o satisfaction_n of_o we_o can_v be_v valid_a but_o as_o it_o be_v ground_v on_o and_o perfect_v by_o the_o all-sufficiency_n of_o his_o satisfaction_n i_o further_o believe_v that_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n must_v joint_o help_v in_o the_o great_a business_n of_o salvation_n that_o both_o be_v god_n gift_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v one_o good_a thought_n or_o do_v the_o least_o good_a action_n without_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o assistance_n last_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o the_o read_n of_o they_o be_v profitable_a that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o have_v they_o in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n but_o i_o believe_v and_o the_o like_a perchance_o do_v all_o christian_a church_n that_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n 3.16_o thing_n 2_o pet._n 3.16_o hard_a in_o they_o which_o the_o unlearned_a and_o unstable_a may_v wrest_v to_o their_o own_o destruction_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o of_o a_o 1.20_o a_o 1_o pet._n 1.20_o private_a interpretation_n now_o shall_v any_o judge_v otherwise_o viz._n that_o every_o body_n true_o interpret_v who_o sincere_o consider_v they_o yet_o i_o be_o still_o in_o the_o right_a for_o then_o as_o a_o private_a man_n i_o think_v and_o this_o with_o all_o sincerity_n that_o the_o hardness_n before_o express_v and_o the_o other_o word_n of_o st._n peter_n which_o intimate_v they_o be_v not_o of_o a_o private_a interpretation_n ought_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o plain_a and_o obvious_a sense_n if_o then_o by_o agree_v thus_o with_o protestant_n in_o what_o they_o call_v the_o chief_a fundamental_o of_o christianity_n and_o if_o also_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o their_o great_a and_o famous_a author_n several_a person_n that_o have_v live_v and_o die_v in_o our_o religion_n be_v in_o heaven_n for_o they_o style_v they_o saint_n they_o admire_v their_o action_n they_o propose_v they_o as_o example_n and_o the_o like_a i_o say_v if_o then_o by_o reason_n of_o these_o thing_n i_o may_v rational_o be_v assure_v that_o this_o interior_n part_n of_o my_o belief_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o principal_o relate_v to_o myself_o can_v damn_v i_o i_o will_v now_o very_o strict_o examine_v the_o exterior_a or_o what_o touch_v other_o and_o consequent_o the_o matter_n that_o concern_v the_o government_n first_o as_o to_o government_n in_o general_n i_o believe_v monarchy_n from_o my_o heart_n to_o be_v the_o best_a and_o i_o think_v far_o the_o better_a of_o it_o as_o often_o as_o i_o consider_v our_o late_a misery_n and_o disorder_n yet_o have_v i_o be_v bear_v in_o a_o lawful_a commonwealth_n aristocracy_n or_o elective_a
