inasmuch_o as_o the_o quaker_n be_v a_o people_n as_o to_o matter_n of_o conversation_n most_o estrange_v from_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o world_n and_o as_o to_o matter_n of_o interest_n i_o think_v so_o unprovided_a of_o all_o humane_a help_n that_o they_o be_v as_o little_a able_a to_o vindicate_v themselves_o as_o the_o papist_n and_o consequent_o must_v be_v content_a to_o be_v both_o abuse_v alike_o 16._o but_o i_o have_v almost_o forget_v my_o opponent_n t._n s._n i_o have_v only_o to_o desire_v he_o at_o part_v to_o consider_v how_o much_o a_o over_o act_v zeal_n oftentimes_o obstruct_v sound_a judgement_n this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n that_o it_o have_v betray_v he_o to_o censure_v his_o passionate_a expression_n so_o i_o may_v call_v it_o rather_o than_o a_o proposition_n viz._n that_o all_o who_o refuse_v the_o oath_n of_o abjuration_n be_v papist_n will_v prove_v himself_o if_o he_o right_o consider_v it_o as_o much_o a_o papist_n as_o it_o will_v prove_v george_n whitehead_n one_o yea_o and_o more_o too_o inasmuch_o as_o george_n whitehead_n refuse_v it_o only_o because_o it_o be_v a_o oath_n and_o not_o as_o it_o contain_v this_o or_o that_o matter_n but_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o t._n s._n if_o he_o be_v a_o true_a protestant_a divine_a of_o the_o english_a hierarchy_n out_o of_o his_o declare_a respect_n to_o antiquity_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n also_o will_v not_o willing_o abjure_v that_o be_v deny_v upon_o his_o oath_n some_o of_o the_o particular_n contain_v in_o the_o oath_n but_o i_o will_v not_o contest_v with_o
